The Intel Core i7-14701TE paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is a desktop build that combines a 45 W power-efficient CPU with a flagship-class GPU. The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this exact combination, so all frame rate discussions below are estimates derived from the benchmark scores and percentile positions of each component, not direct gameplay measurements.

Gaming Performance — measured FPS by game and resolution from measuredFpsUltraByGame (or, if dataIsMeasured is false, frame expectations qualitatively from the benchmark scores and say the figures are estimates)

The FACT PACK includes no measured FPS rows for this CPU+GPU pairing, and the measuredFpsUltraByGame field is empty. Therefore, all gaming performance figures presented here are estimates based on the components' benchmark scores, not empirical gameplay data. The RTX 5090 D V2 achieves a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 16,504, placing it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs. This score indicates strong rasterization capability, but its nearest rivals — the NVIDIA T400 (16,508, 0% delta), AMD Radeon PRO W7500 (16,415, 0.5% delta), NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (16,408, 0.6% delta), and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (16,361, 0.9% delta) — are all within a 1% margin. This clustering suggests that in synthetic DX12 workloads, the GPU performs at a level comparable to these cards, though real-world game performance could vary based on driver optimization and game-specific workloads.

The CPU side provides the foundation for gaming. The Core i7-14701TE scores 2,405 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 1,010 in Cinebench R20 single-core, with a single-thread Passmark score of 2,637. These single-core results are critical for gaming, as most game engines rely heavily on one or two threads for frame pacing and physics. The 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates that the processor outperforms roughly three-quarters of the CPU landscape, which should translate to adequate headroom for high-refresh gaming at most resolutions.

For 1080p high-refresh gaming, the CPU's single-core performance (2,405 in R23 single-core) will likely be the limiting factor in lightly-threaded titles, potentially capping frame rates below what the GPU can deliver. At 1440p, the balance shifts slightly toward the GPU, and at 4K, the RTX 5090 D V2's 24 GB GDDR7 memory and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth become the dominant factors. The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 1,636.8 GTexel/s texture rate suggest it can handle ultra settings at 4K in most titles, but without measured FPS data, these remain projections rather than verified results.

The lack of measured FPS means users should treat any specific frame rate expectations with caution. The benchmark scores indicate a system capable of high-end gaming, but the exact performance envelope across different game genres and resolutions cannot be confirmed from the available data.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Core i7-14701TE uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which is a mature socket generation. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus, giving builders flexibility in memory selection. ECC memory support is present, which is a notable feature for workstation stability. The platform provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, enabling fast connectivity for modern GPUs and NVMe storage devices.

The GPU connects via PCIe 5.0 x16, which matches the CPU's PCIe Gen 5 capability, ensuring no bandwidth bottleneck between the two components. The RTX 5090 D V2 has a TDP of 575 W, and the suggested PSU is 950 W, which provides substantial headroom for the entire system. The CPU's TDP of 45 W is remarkably low, meaning the power supply's capacity will be consumed primarily by the GPU rather than the processor. This creates an asymmetric power profile where the CPU draws minimal power while the GPU demands a significant portion of the PSU's output.

A sensible next upgrade path would involve replacing the Socket 1700 platform with a newer generation when the CPU becomes the limiting factor. However, given that the i7-14701TE scores at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, it still has considerable life left in it. The GPU, being from the GeForce 50-series with a successor already listed as GeForce 60, has a clear future upgrade path if raw performance needs grow. The 16-pin power connector on the GPU means any future GPU replacement should ideally maintain compatibility with the existing power infrastructure or require an adapter.

The platform's dual-channel memory support and ECC capability make it suitable for memory-intensive workloads. The 33 MB shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample cache capacity for both gaming and productivity tasks. For users considering an upgrade, the CPU's locked multiplier (multiplierUnlocked: false) means overclocking is not available, so performance gains would come from platform or GPU upgrades rather than CPU clock increases.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between the Intel Core i7-14701TE and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is heavily skewed toward the GPU. The CPU's 45 W TDP and 8-core/16-thread configuration produce an average benchmark score of 26,013, placing it at the 78th percentile among all CPUs. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 16,504 places it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs. While both components are above average, the CPU is relatively stronger compared to its peers than the GPU is compared to its peers.

In gaming workloads, the CPU's single-core performance will be the primary constraint at lower resolutions. The 2,405 Cinebench R23 single-core score is solid but not exceptional, and games that rely heavily on a single thread may see frame rate caps before the GPU reaches its maximum output. The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute is substantial, meaning it can likely outpace the CPU's ability to feed it frames in CPU-bound scenarios.

For multi-threaded workloads, the CPU's 16 threads and 17,035 Cinebench R23 multi-core score provide adequate parallel processing capability. The Passmark multithread score of 20,042 indicates strong overall throughput. However, the GPU's compute capabilities (104.8 TFLOPS FP32) dwarf the CPU's integer and floating point scores (65,792 and 50,219 respectively) by several orders of magnitude, meaning any workload that can leverage the GPU will shift the bottleneck entirely to the CPU.

The FPS scaling evidence, while estimated, suggests that at 1080p the CPU will be the limiting factor, at 1440p the system is more balanced, and at 4K the GPU becomes the primary determinant of performance. The 24 GB VRAM and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth on the GPU ensure that memory capacity and bandwidth will not be bottlenecks even at high resolutions with demanding textures. The CPU's 33 MB L3 cache helps mitigate some latency in gaming, but the fundamental architectural balance favors GPU-bound workloads at higher resolutions.

Who Should Build It

This build targets users who need extreme GPU compute power but do not require high-core-count CPU performance. Gamers playing at 1440p or 4K with ultra settings will benefit most from the RTX 5090 D V2's 24 GB VRAM and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, especially in titles that scale well with GPU compute. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking ensures it will not severely hamper gaming at these resolutions, though 1080p high-refresh gamers may find the CPU limiting.

Content creators working with video editing or 3D rendering will find the GPU's capabilities transformative. The 24 GB GDDR7 memory and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth allow for large texture sets and complex scenes, while the 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores accelerate ray tracing and AI-assisted workflows. The CPU's 16 threads and 17,035 Cinebench R23 multi-core score provide sufficient CPU-side support for encoding, decoding, and scene management.

Software developers targeting GPU-accelerated applications will appreciate the full DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility. The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS FP16 performance (1:1 ratio) is particularly relevant for machine learning inference and training workloads. Students and small business workstations may find the 45 W CPU TDP appealing from a power efficiency standpoint, though the GPU's 575 W TDP negates overall system efficiency. The ECC memory support on the CPU side adds reliability for long-running compute tasks.

CPU Analysis

Benchmark Performance

The combined benchmark picture for this build shows a CPU at the 78th percentile among all CPUs and a GPU at the 59th percentile among all GPUs, resulting in a combined percentile of 69. The CPU's average benchmark score is 26,013, which places it in a tight competitive cluster with four AMD rivals: the Ryzen AI 5 340 (25,981, +0.1%), Ryzen 5 8640HS (26,106, -0.4%), Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE (25,880, +0.5%), and Ryzen 5 8540U (26,187, -0.7%). This indicates the CPU performs within a 1% band of these alternatives, making it statistically indistinguishable from them in aggregate benchmarks.

The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 16,504 places it at the 59th percentile, with nearest rivals including the NVIDIA T400 (16,508, 0% delta), AMD Radeon PRO W7500 (16,415, +0.5%), NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (16,408, +0.6%), and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (16,361, +0.9%). The 0% delta against the T400 is particularly notable, as it suggests the RTX 5090 D V2 performs identically to a much lower-tier card in this specific synthetic test, which may indicate the benchmark does not fully exercise the GPU's capabilities.

The CPU's individual benchmark scores show strong multi-threaded performance: 17,035 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 7,154 in Cinebench R20 multi-core. Single-core scores are 2,405 in R23 and 1,010 in R20. Passmark results include 220,520 in data compression, 11,699 in data encryption, 14,354 in extended instructions, 50,219 in floating point math, and 65,792 in integer math. The find prime numbers score of 143 is notably low, suggesting the CPU is not optimized for that specific workload type.

The combined picture is a system where the CPU outperforms its GPU in relative terms. The CPU is at the 78th percentile, while the GPU sits at the 59th percentile. This creates an unusual pairing where the processor is comparatively stronger than the graphics card, which is the inverse of typical gaming builds where the GPU is the dominant component. For compute-heavy workloads that leverage both CPU and GPU, the CPU's relative strength helps maintain balance, but for pure gaming, the GPU's lower percentile ranking may cap overall frame rates.

Build Overview

This is a desktop-class build combining the Intel Core i7-14701TE, a 14th-generation Raptor Lake processor, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, a Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU. The CPU is a power-efficient 8-core/16-thread part with a 45 W TDP, while the GPU is a high-end card with 24 GB GDDR7 memory and a 575 W TDP. The combined percentile of 69 indicates that this system ranks above average compared to all possible CPU+GPU combinations, but it is not in the top tier of overall performance.

The CPU's 78th percentile ranking places it in the upper quartile of all CPUs, while the GPU's 59th percentile ranking places it in the upper half of all GPUs. This asymmetry means the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU when compared to their respective peer groups. The overall tier is mid-to-upper range, with the CPU providing a solid foundation and the GPU offering capable, though not exceptional, graphics performance relative to the full GPU landscape.

The build class is explicitly desktop, and the production status of both components is Active. The CPU was released on 2024-06-30, while the GPU was released on 2025-08-14. The GPU has a predecessor in the GeForce 40 series and a successor in the GeForce 60 series, indicating it is part of a well-established product line. The CPU's release date and active status suggest it is a current-generation part, though the Raptor Lake architecture is not the newest Intel design.

The overall tier from the percentiles suggests this system is well-suited for users who prioritize a balanced desktop experience. The CPU's strong single-core performance (2,405 in R23 single-core) and the GPU's substantial memory capacity (24 GB) make it a versatile system for both gaming and productivity, though the GPU's modest percentile ranking relative to the CPU may limit top-tier gaming performance.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: At lower resolutions like 1080p, the CPU's single-core performance (2,405 in R23 single-core) will likely be the primary constraint, potentially limiting frame rates below what the GPU can deliver. At 1440p and above, the RTX 5090 D V2's 24 GB VRAM and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute become more influential, though the estimated FPS figures remain unverified due to the absence of measured data.

Streaming: The CPU's 16 threads and 17,035 Cinebench R23 multi-core score provide sufficient encoding headroom for software-based streaming, while the GPU's NVENC-equivalent capabilities (680 tensor cores, 104.8 TFLOPS FP16) can offload encode tasks. The 45 W CPU TDP leaves thermal headroom for sustained streaming workloads.

Video editing: The GPU's 24 GB GDDR7 memory and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth accelerate timeline rendering and effects processing, while the CPU's 16 threads handle codec operations. The combined system scores (CPU at 78th percentile, GPU at 59th percentile) suggest capable, though not top-tier, video editing performance.

3D rendering: The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 and 170 RT cores provide substantial compute for ray-traced rendering, while the CPU's 33 MB L3 cache and 16 threads manage scene data. The 24 GB VRAM is sufficient for large scenes, but the GPU's 59th percentile ranking indicates it may not outperform all competing cards in this workload.

Software development: The CPU's strong single-core performance (2,637 Passmark single-thread) benefits compilation and code analysis, while the GPU's compute capabilities accelerate testing and simulation. The ECC memory support on the CPU adds stability for long build processes.

Student and office work: The CPU's 78th percentile ranking and 45 W TDP make it efficient for everyday tasks, and the integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides basic display output without the discrete GPU. However, the GPU's 575 W TDP and 950 W suggested PSU make this system overkill for typical office workloads, where the discrete GPU would be idle most of the time.
