The Intel Core i7-13790F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 pairing represents a high-end desktop configuration that combines a 16-core Raptor Lake processor with a Blackwell-architecture GPU. The CPU sits at the 93rd percentile among all processors, while the GPU holds the 87th percentile among all graphics cards, placing the combined system at the 90th percentile overall. It is critical to note that no measured FPS data exists for this exact combination; the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps rows. Consequently, all frame rate discussions that follow are estimates derived from the synthetic benchmark scores of each component, not direct gameplay measurements.

Gaming Performance

Since no measured FPS rows exist for this exact CPU+GPU combination, all gaming performance figures presented here are estimates based on the benchmark scores of the RTX 5080 and the Core i7-13790F. The data clearly indicates this system is capable of extreme performance, but the specific frame rates at any resolution or game title cannot be stated as measured facts.

The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 36,565 places it at the 87th percentile, which is a strong indicator of high FPS potential at 1440p and 4K resolutions. The RTX 5080's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth, a figure that directly supports high-resolution texture streaming and demanding visual effects. Given the FP32 compute of 56.28 TFLOPS and the 84 RT cores, estimated frame rates at 4K ultra settings would likely be very high, though the exact numbers remain unmeasured.

At 1080p resolution, the bottleneck would likely shift to the CPU. The i7-13790F's single-thread score of 4,212 in PassMark and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,998 indicate strong per-core performance, which is essential for high-refresh-rate gaming at lower resolutions. The CPU's 5.20 GHz boost clock further supports this, suggesting that even at 1080p, the system would not be severely CPU-limited in most titles. However, without measured data, these are qualitative expectations backed by synthetic scores.

The RTX 5080's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 API compatibility suggest it is fully prepared for modern game engines. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 8,637 is a robust indicator of DX12 gaming performance, though translating this to specific FPS requires actual game testing. For ray tracing workloads, the 84 RT cores and Blackwell 2.0 architecture would provide substantial acceleration, but again, the specific frame rate impact cannot be quantified from the available data.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i7-13790F delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,404, which is a strong result for a 16-core, 24-thread processor. This places it 0.1% behind the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX (average score 63,173) and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 (average score 62,839) in the average benchmark score comparison. The CPU's PassMark multi-thread score of 44,737 and single-thread score of 4,212 reinforce its balanced performance profile.

The RTX 5080 achieves a PassMark G3D score of 36,565, which is 0.6% ahead of the AMD Radeon 8060S (average score 55,757) and 0.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (average score 55,698). The GPU's Geekbench OpenCL score of 235,901 and Vulkan score of 255,450 are exceptionally high, indicating strong compute and graphics throughput across different API environments.

The combined picture shows a system where both components are near the top of their respective performance tiers.
