The GPU's PassMark GPU Compute score of 17,108 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 205,624 indicate strong compute capability for non-gaming tasks.

Combined, the pair ranks 573rd out of 3,732 tested pairs, placing it at the 87th combined percentile. The average FPS across all tested games is 179.9 at ultra settings, though this includes lightweight titles like Valorant (534 FPS at 1080p) that skew the average upward. The measured FPS data shows this pairing is consistent across 1080p and 1440p, with 4K being the primary limitation.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration. This gives builders flexibility in memory selection, though the platform is limited to PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The GPU uses PCIe 4.0 x16, which is backward compatible with the CPU's PCIe Gen 5 slots. The CPU's 65 W TDP is low for a 20-core part, which means most mid-range motherboards with adequate VRM cooling can handle it without issue.

The suggested PSU for the GPU is 550 W, and the GPU's 220 W TDP leaves significant headroom for additional components. The CPU's 65 W TDP means total system draw is well within a 550 W unit's capability, even with drives, fans, and other peripherals. A sensible next upgrade would be to a higher-tier GPU, as the CPU's 91st percentile ranking suggests it will not bottleneck more powerful GPUs in most workloads. The 28 threads and strong multi-core scores indicate the CPU is not the limiting factor in this pairing.

Memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5 is an advantage, but users should note that the memory bus is dual-channel, meaning bandwidth is limited compared to quad-channel workstation platforms. The 33 MB shared L3 cache helps mitigate this in some workloads, but memory-intensive tasks may show limitations. The platform supports ECC memory, which is rare for consumer chips and adds value for workstation use.

Balance and Bottleneck

At 1080p, the GPU is often the limiting factor in demanding titles, though the CPU's strong single-core performance (Cinebench R23 single-core 4,958) ensures it can keep up with high-refresh needs. In Counter-Strike 2, the pair hits 280.7 FPS at 1080p, which is likely CPU-bound given the game's low GPU demand. The CPU's 91st percentile ranking versus the GPU's 83rd percentile suggests the CPU has more headroom than the GPU in most scenarios.

At 1440p, the balance shifts toward the GPU being the primary constraint. Cyberpunk 2077 drops to 62.6 FPS from 86 FPS at 1080p, while Control goes from 118 FPS to 89 FPS. The GPU's 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth become more critical at this resolution. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, with many titles falling below 60 FPS, including Red Dead Redemption 2 at 37 FPS and The Medium at 40.2 FPS.

The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 4,257 and Geekbench single-core of 2,429 indicate it handles single-threaded tasks effectively, so CPU-bound scenarios like esports titles will not be limited. However, in games that scale well with multi-threading, the CPU's 28 threads provide ample headroom. The data suggests that for 1080p and 1440p gaming, this is a balanced pairing, but at 4K, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor, with the CPU often having performance to spare.

Build Overview

This is a desktop-class build combining the Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. The CPU is a 20-core, 28-thread Raptor Lake Refresh part with a 65 W TDP, while the GPU is an Ada Lovelace architecture card with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and a 220 W TDP. The pair achieves a combined percentile of 87, ranking 573rd out of 3,732 tested pairs with an average FPS of 179.9 across games.

The configuration is a high-tier desktop system that targets enthusiast gamers and productivity users.

The GPU has 7,168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. It features 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores, providing dedicated hardware for ray tracing and AI-accelerated workloads. The base clock is 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, and the memory operates at 1313 MHz with an effective speed of 21 Gbps.

The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory runs on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This is sufficient for 1440p gaming with high texture quality, and the pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s indicate strong rasterization performance. The FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS (with FP16 at 1:1 ratio) makes this a capable compute card for tasks like video encoding or scientific simulation.

In benchmarks, the GPU scores 29,995 in PassMark G3D and 17,108 in PassMark GPU Compute, with a Geekbench OpenCL score of 172,795 and Vulkan score of 205,624. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4,627 places it at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (deltaPct -0.1), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (deltaPct -0.1), NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (deltaPct -0.2), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (deltaPct -1). This places the desktop RTX 4070 SUPER in a performance tier just above professional Quadro cards and mobile RTX 4090-class parts.

For rendering workloads, the 56 RT cores accelerate ray-traced scenes, and the 224 tensor cores enable DLSS and other AI-based technologies. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth handles high-resolution textures, but the 12 GB VRAM capacity may be limiting for very large 4K texture packs or complex 3D scenes. The GPU's 83rd percentile ranking indicates it is a strong performer, but not at the absolute top tier reserved for cards like the RTX 4090. In real-world terms, it excels at 1440p gaming and can manage 4K with settings adjustments, as shown by the measured FPS data.
