The Intel Core i7-14701E paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a high-tier desktop combination that sits at the 84th percentile across all builds, with the CPU at the 83rd percentile and the GPU at the 84th percentile. The data for this specific pairing contains no measured FPS rows, so all gaming performance figures discussed here are estimates derived from the synthetic benchmark scores of each component, not from direct frame-rate captures.

Gaming Performance

Because the FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this exact CPU+GPU combination, frame-rate expectations must be framed as estimates based on the benchmark scores. The GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 31624 places it at the 84th percentile among all GPUs, which indicates strong 1440p and capable 4K rasterization performance. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3133 and multi-core score of 22195 provide ample headroom for feeding the GPU in most gaming scenarios.

At 1080p Ultra settings, the primary limiter becomes the CPU’s single-thread performance. The 3133 single-core score in Cinebench R23 is competitive with the nearest rivals, showing a 0.4% delta against the Intel Core i7-13650HX and a 0.3% delta against the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX. This suggests that frame rates at 1080p will be high, but the CPU may occasionally cap the GPU in esports titles where frame rates exceed 200 FPS. The 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient for modern game engines that utilize up to 8 threads effectively.

At 1440p Ultra, this pairing is well-balanced. The GPU’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth and 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 performance handles the increased resolution load, while the CPU maintains consistent frame pacing. The RTX 4070 Ti’s 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray tracing and DLSS, which can significantly boost frame rates in supported titles. Estimated 1440p Ultra performance would place this build in the high-end tier, likely exceeding 100 FPS in most AAA titles without ray tracing.

At 4K Ultra, the GPU becomes the definitive bottleneck. The 208.8 GPixel/s pixel rate and 626.4 GTexel/s texture rate are strong, but 4K resolution demands more from the memory subsystem. The 192-bit bus width, while paired with fast GDDR6X, is narrower than higher-tier GPUs. Estimated 4K performance would sit in the 50-70 FPS range for demanding titles, with DLSS providing a meaningful boost. The CPU’s 5.40 GHz boost clock ensures that it will not limit the GPU at this resolution.

The GPU’s Geekbench Vulkan score of 213808 and OpenCL score of 176953 confirm strong API-level performance across different graphics backends. The Passmark DirectX 12 score of 116, while lower than DirectX 11’s 288, reflects the synthetic nature of the test rather than real-world DX12 capability, as the GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2).
