# GPU Analysis — VRAM, bandwidth, clocks, RT/tensor hardware, what the benchmark scores mean for rendering

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is a desktop-class GPU built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process. The die is substantial: 92,200 million transistors across a 750 mm² chip, yielding a transistor density of 122.9 million per square millimeter. This is the largest physical GPU in the GeForce 50-series lineup, and the data reflects a part engineered for maximum throughput at the expense of power efficiency.

Memory capacity is 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 384-bit bus, delivering 1.34 TB/s of bandwidth. That bandwidth figure is critical for 4K and 8K rendering workloads, where texture streaming and large framebuffer accesses dominate. The 384-bit interface paired with GDDR7 means the memory subsystem is not a bottleneck for the compute resources available.

Clock behavior is conservative relative to the die size: base clock is 2017 MHz, boost clock reaches 2407 MHz, and memory runs at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The boost clock is not exceptionally high, but with 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs, the raw throughput is enormous. Pixel rate is 423.6 GPixel/s, texture rate is 1,636.8 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute is 104.8 TFLOPS with FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. These figures position the GPU as a compute monster for both rasterization and compute-heavy workloads.

Ray tracing hardware is present in the form of 170 RT cores, while 680 tensor cores handle AI-accelerated features like DLSS and neural rendering. The RT core count is the highest in the GeForce 50-series stack, and the tensor core count matches the TMU count, indicating a balanced allocation for shader and AI work. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark score of 16,504 reflects this configuration. The GPU sits at the 59th percentile among all GPUs, which is a moderate position; however, the nearest rivals show a tightly clustered field. The NVIDIA T400 scores 16,508 with a deltaPct of 0.0%, the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 scores 16,415 with a deltaPct of 0.5%, and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell scores 16,408 with a deltaPct of 0.6%. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT trails at 16,361 with a deltaPct of 0.9%. This clustering suggests that in the specific Steel Nomad workload, the RTX 5090 D V2 is statistically indistinguishable from these rivals, despite the massive architectural differences. The percentile position of 59 indicates that while this GPU is powerful, the benchmark landscape includes many parts that score similarly in this particular test.

For rendering, the data indicates the RTX 5090 D V2 is capable of handling the most demanding real-time workloads. The combination of 24 GB VRAM, 1.34 TB/s bandwidth, and high RT core count means ray-traced scenes with complex geometry and lighting will fit within memory without streaming bottlenecks. The 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is sufficient for offline-style rendering in real-time engines, and the 1:1 FP16 ratio doubles the capability for workloads that use mixed precision.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark data for this CPU+GPU pairing is unusual: the CPU has eight benchmark scores across Cinebench and Geekbench, the GPU has a single 3DMark score, and there are no measured FPS values for any game. The combined percentile is 62, which places this pairing above the majority of all desktop configurations in the database.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 8,676, placing it at the 65th percentile among all CPUs. The nearest rivals are a set of mobile and enterprise parts: the Intel Core i7-8565U scores 8,665 with a deltaPct of 0.1%, the Intel Core i5-8365U scores 8,708 with a deltaPct of -0.4%, the AMD EPYC 7601 scores 8,619 with a deltaPct of 0.7%, and the Intel Core i7-10510U scores 8,580 with a deltaPct of 1.1%. This is a striking result: the Core i9-13900E, a 24-core desktop part, is statistically tied with quad-core and octa-core mobile CPUs from several generations ago. The deltaPct values are all within 1.1%, meaning the benchmark scores are essentially equivalent. This is a critical observation for interpreting the CPU's real-world performance, as the average benchmark score may not reflect the multicore potential of the 24-core configuration.

The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 16,504 is the sole GPU benchmark, and it places the card at the 59th percentile. The combined percentile of 62 is slightly higher than either component individually, suggesting the pairing is balanced in the database's overall ranking. The CPU's individual benchmark scores paint a more detailed picture. In Cinebench R15, the multicore score is 3,451 and single-core is 487. In R20, multicore is 14,382 and single-core is 2,030. In R23, multicore is 34,244 and single-core is 4,834. Geekbench scores are 8,337 multicore and 1,646 single-core. The single-core scores are respectable for a 13th-gen Intel part, but the multicore scores are lower than expected for a 24-core CPU, which may indicate power or thermal constraints in the benchmark environment.

The combined picture is that this pairing delivers strong single-core performance and solid multicore throughput, but the GPU's percentile position (59) and the CPU's average score percentile (65) are not exceptional. The combined percentile of 62 reflects a system that is above average but not in the top tier. The lack of measured FPS data means these benchmarks are the only quantitative basis for performance assessment.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i9-13900E is a 13th-generation desktop processor from the Raptor Lake family, specifically the Raptor Lake-S architecture. It has 24 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock of 1800 MHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The process node is Intel's 10 nm, with a die size of 257 mm². The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. This is a substantial cache configuration for workloads that benefit from data reuse.

The memory controller supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration, with ECC memory support enabled. This makes the CPU suitable for workstation and server-like workloads where data integrity is critical. The PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, which is current-generation connectivity for high-bandwidth devices such as the RTX 5090 D V2. Integrated graphics are provided by UHD Graphics 770, which is useful for basic display output or troubleshooting without a discrete GPU.

The TDP is 65 W, which is notably low for a 24-core part. This is a key data point: the boost clock of 5.20 GHz is high, but the power envelope is constrained. Benchmark results indicate that the multicore scores may be limited by this power budget. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 34,244 is solid for productivity work, but it is not in the same league as higher-TDP 24-core parts. The single-core scores are strong: Cinebench R23 single-core at 4,834 and Geekbench single-core at 1,646 are competitive with other 13th-gen Intel parts.

The production status is Active, with a release date of January 3, 2023. The multiplier is locked, meaning overclocking is not possible through conventional means. This is relevant for users who expect to push performance beyond stock settings. The architecture is Raptor Lake, which builds on the hybrid design of previous generations, though the specific P-core and E-core counts are not detailed in the data.

For real workloads, the benchmark scores indicate the CPU handles single-threaded tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and light coding with ease. The multicore scores suggest it can handle compilation, video encoding, and 3D rendering, but the 65 W TDP means sustained all-core loads may throttle or run at lower clocks. The ECC memory support is a differentiator for users building a small workstation where data accuracy is paramount. The 36 MB L3 cache is beneficial for workloads with large working sets, such as database queries or simulation models.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform is built around the Intel Socket 1700, which is the LGA 1700 socket used by 12th and 13th generation Core processors. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, giving builders the flexibility to choose between older, lower-cost DDR4 or newer, higher-bandwidth DDR5. The PCIe Gen 5 interface with 16 CPU lanes is sufficient for the RTX 5090 D V2, which uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. This means the GPU will run at full bandwidth without any bottleneck from the interconnect.

The GPU has a TDP of 575 W and a suggested PSU rating of 950 W. The CPU TDP is 65 W, so the total system power draw is dominated by the GPU. A 950 W power supply provides ample headroom for the GPU under load, plus the CPU, memory, storage, and other peripherals. The GPU requires a single 16-pin power connector, which is the modern standard for high-end graphics cards. The physical dimensions are 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width, making it a dual-slot card. Builders need to ensure their case has sufficient clearance for a 304 mm GPU and a dual-slot cooler.

The CPU's memory bus is dual-channel, which is standard for desktop platforms. The ECC memory support is noteworthy, as it is not typical for consumer desktop CPUs. This makes the platform suitable for entry-level workstations where error-correcting memory is desired. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback display output if the discrete GPU is removed or fails.

For a sensible next upgrade, the platform offers limited headroom. The CPU's locked multiplier means the processor itself cannot be overclocked, but the memory and GPU can be upgraded independently. The RTX 5090 D V2 is already a high-end GPU in the GeForce 50-series, so a GPU upgrade would only make sense if a future successor with significantly higher performance is released. The CPU could be replaced with a higher-TDP 13th-gen or 14th-gen part on the same socket, though the data does not specify compatibility beyond the current CPU. The PCIe Gen 5 support ensures that future storage devices and accelerators will be able to use full bandwidth.

Who Should Build It

This build targets users who need a balanced desktop system with strong single-threaded performance and substantial GPU compute capability. The CPU's 5.20 GHz boost clock and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,834 make it suitable for gamers at 1440p and 4K resolutions, where the GPU's 24 GB VRAM and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth can handle high-resolution textures and ray tracing. The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance is relevant for content creators who work with 3D rendering, video editing, and visual effects, though the CPU's multicore scores should be considered for these workloads.

Software developers will benefit from the CPU's 24 cores and 32 threads for compilation tasks, as well as the ECC memory support for running virtual machines or databases where data integrity is critical. Students and small business users will find the system responsive for office applications, web browsing, and data analysis, given the strong single-core performance. The 65 W CPU TDP makes this build relatively efficient for a desktop system, though the GPU's 575 W TDP means it is not a low-power configuration.

The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 16,504 places it at the 59th percentile, which is above average but not top-tier. This suggests it is a capable card for most games and rendering tasks, but users seeking the absolute fastest GPU may want to consider other options. The CPU's average benchmark score of 8,676 at the 65th percentile is similarly above average, making this a well-rounded system for a broad range of users.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between the CPU and GPU is a critical consideration. The GPU has a TDP of 575 W, while the CPU has a TDP of 65 W, indicating the GPU is the dominant power consumer. In gaming workloads, the GPU is likely the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the CPU's single-core performance is strong enough to keep up with the GPU's frame output. The GPU's 3DMark score of 16,504 and the CPU's Geekbench single-core score of 1,646 support this interpretation: the CPU can feed the GPU in most scenarios.

However, in CPU-bound workloads such as physics simulation, AI inference, or heavily threaded games, the CPU may become the limiting factor. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 34,244 is lower than expected for a 24-core part, likely due to the 65 W TDP. This means in all-core workloads, the CPU may throttle or run at lower clocks, reducing overall system performance. The combined percentile of 62 reflects this balance, with the GPU at the 59th percentile and the CPU at the 65th percentile.

FPS scaling is not measurable from the data, as no measured FPS values exist for this pairing. However, based on the benchmark scores, the system should deliver smooth performance at 1440p and 4K in most games, with the GPU being the primary limiter at higher resolutions and the CPU at lower resolutions with high frame-rate targets. The GPU's 24 GB VRAM ensures that memory capacity is not a bottleneck, even with high-resolution textures and ray tracing enabled.

Student and office work: The CPU's strong single-core performance makes everyday applications responsive, and the integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback display output. The system is overkill for basic tasks, but it will handle any student workload without issue.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination. The FACT PACK contains no measuredFps entries for any game, so all frame rate figures presented here are estimates based on the benchmark scores. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 16,504 and the CPU's Cinebench R23 scores provide a basis for these estimates.

At 1080p, the system should deliver very high frame rates in most games, as the CPU's single-core performance is strong enough to avoid bottlenecking the GPU. The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is more than sufficient for 1080p rendering, and the 24 GB VRAM ensures no memory pressure. Expect frame rates well above 100 FPS in most titles with ultra settings.

At 1440p, the GPU becomes more of a limiting factor, but the 1.34 TB/s bandwidth and 24 GB VRAM handle the increased resolution without issue. Frame rates should remain high, typically in the 60-100 FPS range for demanding games with ray tracing enabled. At 4K, the GPU's 59th percentile position suggests it will deliver playable frame rates, but not at the absolute top end. The 423.6 GPixel/s pixel rate and 1,636.8 GTexel/s texture rate indicate the GPU can handle 4K rendering, but the boost clock of 2407 MHz is modest for the resolution.

These estimates are speculative, as the data does not include measured FPS. The benchmark scores provide a general indication of performance, but actual game performance depends on optimization and workload characteristics.
