The Intel Core i7-13790F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 pairing represents a desktop configuration where the CPU is a 16-core Raptor Lake part and the GPU is a Blackwell 2.0 flagship. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination in the FACT PACK, so all frame rate discussions below are estimates derived from the synthetic benchmark scores of each component rather than direct game testing.

Gaming Performance

Since the FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this CPU+GPU pairing, all gaming performance figures presented here are estimates based on the individual benchmark scores. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4998 and multi-core score of 35404 indicate strong per-thread performance, which is critical for frame pacing and physics calculations in modern titles. The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 16504 places it in the 59th percentile among all GPUs, suggesting it handles rasterization workloads competently but is not an outlier at the top of the performance distribution.

For 1080p gaming, the RTX 5090 D V2’s 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 1.34 TB/s memory bandwidth would likely drive very high frame rates in esports and lighter titles, with the CPU’s 5.20 GHz boost clock ensuring minimal bottleneck at lower resolutions. At 1440p, the GPU becomes the primary determinant of frame rate, and the 24 GB GDDR7 memory on a 384-bit bus provides ample headroom for high texture quality and anti-aliasing settings. For 4K gaming, the GPU’s pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s suggest it can sustain demanding resolutions, though the estimated FPS would drop proportionally with resolution scaling.

The GPU’s 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores indicate that ray-traced titles would see significant acceleration, but the percentile ranking of 59 suggests it sits mid-pack relative to the broader GPU landscape. The absence of measured game data means these are projections, not guarantees — real-world performance varies by title optimization, driver maturity, and game engine specifics.

Balance and Bottleneck

The CPU’s 93rd percentile among all CPUs versus the GPU’s 59th percentile creates a clear performance hierarchy. In most gaming workloads, the GPU is the limiting factor, as the CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35404 and PassMark multithread score of 44737 far exceed what typical game engines utilize. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 63080 places it within 0.5% of rivals like the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX (63173) and AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 (62839), confirming it is not a weak link.

In CPU-bound scenarios — such as high-refresh 1080p gaming or simulation-heavy titles — the CPU’s single-thread performance (Cinebench R15 single-core score of 503, PassMark single-thread score of 4212) would become more relevant. However, the GPU’s FP32 throughput of 104.8 TFLOPS means that at higher resolutions, the bottleneck shifts decisively to the GPU. The CPU’s 65W TDP and the GPU’s 575W TDP highlight the massive disparity in power draw, reinforcing that the GPU dominates the workload and thermal envelope in this pairing.

The combined percentile of 76 for this build indicates that the system as a whole performs above average, but the GPU’s lower percentile drags the overall score down from what the CPU alone would suggest. For tasks like video editing or 3D rendering that leverage both components, the CPU handles geometry and simulation while the GPU handles rasterization and compute, with the GPU’s 24 GB VRAM preventing memory swap in large scenes.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU’s benchmark suite shows consistent strength: Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 3568, R20 multi-core score of 14869, and R23 multi-core score of 35404 demonstrate scaling across successive test versions. Single-core scores of 503 (R15), 2099 (R20), and 4998 (R23) follow the same upward trend. PassMark tests reveal specialized strengths: data compression at 567473, floating point math at 110512, and integer math at 151416. The CPU’s 93rd percentile among all CPUs confirms it outclasses most processors on the market.

The GPU’s benchmark data is sparser, with only one test: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 scoring 16504. This places it in the 59th percentile among all GPUs, with nearest rivals including the NVIDIA T400 (16508, 0% delta), AMD Radeon PRO W7500 (16415, 0.5% delta), and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (16408, 0.6% delta). The tiny deltas (0 to 0.9%) mean the RTX 5090 D V2 is statistically tied with these very different cards in this specific test, which is surprising given the massive specs of the 5090 D V2 — 21760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs.

The combined picture is one of asymmetry: the CPU is a top-tier performer (93rd percentile) while the GPU is mid-tier (59th percentile) in the only benchmark recorded. This suggests that for CPU-heavy workloads like compilation or spreadsheet processing, the system excels, while GPU-bound tasks like high-end gaming or machine learning inference may not reach the heights implied by the GPU’s name and specifications.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13790F is a 16-core, 24-thread processor built on Intel’s Raptor Lake architecture (Raptor Lake-S codename) using a 10 nm process node with a die size of 257 mm². It operates with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, though the multiplier is locked, preventing manual overclocking. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache, which supports the high multi-threaded scores.

The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35404 places the CPU well above typical desktop processors, and the PassMark multithread score of 44737 reinforces this. For real workloads, this translates to fast video encoding, swift 3D rendering, and responsive multitasking. The single-core performance (R23 score of 4998) ensures snappy application launches and strong gaming frame pacing. The PassMark data compression score of 567473 and encryption score of 31703 indicate robust performance for file archiving and security tasks.

The CPU’s 93rd percentile ranking means it outperforms 93% of all CPUs in the benchmark database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX (63173 average score, 0.1% faster), AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G (63331, 0.4% faster), and AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 (62839, 0.4% slower). These tight deltas suggest the i7-13790F is competitive with newer mobile and embedded parts despite being a desktop Raptor Lake chip. The 65W TDP is modest for a 16-core part, making it suitable for air cooling without exotic setups.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is based on the GB202 chip using Blackwell 2.0 architecture, manufactured on TSMC’s 5 nm process with 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. It features 21760 shading units, 680 TMUs, 176 ROPs, 170 RT cores, and 680 tensor cores. The base clock is 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, and memory runs at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) across 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 384-bit bus, yielding 1.34 TB/s bandwidth.

Compute capabilities include 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 (1:1) performance, a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s, and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s. The 680 tensor cores support AI workloads like DLSS, while the 170 RT cores handle ray tracing. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, making it compatible with modern APIs.

Despite these impressive specs, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 16504 places the GPU in the 59th percentile, with nearest rivals being the NVIDIA T400 (0% delta), AMD Radeon PRO W7500 (0.5% faster), and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (0.6% faster). This suggests that in this particular benchmark, the GPU does not differentiate itself from much lower-tier cards, which is anomalous given its raw specifications. The 575W TDP and dual-slot design with a 1x 16-pin power connector require a 950 W suggested PSU, and the card measures 304 mm in length.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses Intel Socket 1700, which supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode. It provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU, allowing for high-bandwidth storage and GPU connectivity. The GPU uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, which is fully compatible with the CPU’s PCIe Gen 5 support. The GPU’s 575W TDP and 950 W suggested PSU indicate that the power supply must be robust, though the CPU’s 65W TDP leaves headroom for additional components.

A sensible next upgrade for this platform would be adding more DDR5 memory if the current capacity is insufficient, as the dual-channel bus can scale with additional modules. For storage, PCIe Gen 5 NVMe drives would leverage the CPU’s 20 lanes. The CPU’s locked multiplier limits overclocking, so upgrades would focus on memory speed or capacity rather than CPU frequency. The GPU, being in the 59th percentile, could be replaced with a higher-performing model if gaming or compute demands exceed its capabilities, but the 950 W PSU provides enough headroom for most alternatives.

The platform supports both DDR4 and DDR5, so users upgrading from older systems can retain DDR4 memory to reduce costs, though DDR5 would offer higher bandwidth for memory-sensitive workloads. The combination of a 65W CPU and 575W GPU means cooling solutions must prioritize GPU thermals, with the CPU being relatively easy to cool.
