Gaming Performance

The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this exact CPU and GPU combination. Therefore, all frame rate discussions are estimates derived from the benchmark scores and should be treated as expectations rather than verified results. The dataIsMeasured field is false, confirming the absence of empirical frame data.

Based on the GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 19587, which is comparable to a desktop AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, this pairing is estimated to deliver high frame rates at 1080p resolution in most modern titles. The GPU’s 8 GB of VRAM and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p ultra settings, but may require texture quality reductions at 1440p in memory-heavy games. The CPU’s strong single-thread score of 3703 in PassMark ensures it will not be a limiting factor at these resolutions.

At 1440p, the estimated performance will depend on the specific game’s optimization. The GPU’s FP32 performance of 15.62 TFLOPS is a strong indicator of rasterization capability, but ray tracing workloads will see a larger performance hit due to the 36 RT cores being a smaller portion of the overall die. For competitive esports titles, the combination should easily exceed 100 FPS at 1080p with high settings. For AAA single-player games, a mix of high and ultra settings should maintain playable frame rates.

At 4K resolution, the 8 GB VRAM capacity and 128-bit memory bus will likely be limiting factors. The estimated performance drops significantly, and users should expect to lower settings to medium or high to achieve smooth gameplay. The GPU’s PassMark DirectX 12 score of 85 suggests strong API efficiency, but the memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s is modest for 4K textures. The CPU’s performance remains sufficient, as the load shifts almost entirely to the GPU at this resolution.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data indicates a balanced pairing where the bottleneck shifts based on the workload type. In gaming, the GPU is typically the primary limit, as the CPU’s single-thread performance of 3703 in PassMark is strong enough to keep up with the GPU’s rendering pipeline. The GPU’s 73rd percentile ranking versus the CPU’s 87th percentile suggests the GPU is the more likely constraint in graphically intensive tasks.

For CPU-bound workloads like software compilation or data encryption, the i9-13905H becomes the limiting factor. Its PassMark data encryption score of 20464 and multithread score of 29779 are strong, but the 45 W TDP limits sustained performance in a laptop chassis. The GPU remains mostly idle in these tasks, as its compute capabilities are not fully utilized by typical office or development applications.

In mixed workloads like 3D rendering, the bottleneck can shift dynamically. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20034 handles scene preparation, while the GPU’s Geekbench OpenCL score of 109197 accelerates the actual render. The 80th combined percentile suggests neither component drastically outperforms the other, creating a synergistic effect. However, the GPU’s nearest rival, the RTX 3090, has a delta of -0.5%, indicating the mobile GPU is close to desktop performance in compute tasks.

The FPS scaling evidence is absent due to no measured data, but the benchmark scores suggest that increasing resolution from 1080p to 1440p will shift the bottleneck more firmly to the GPU. The CPU’s performance headroom means it can handle higher frame rates at lower resolutions, but the GPU’s memory bandwidth will become a constraint at higher resolutions. This is a typical characteristic of laptop pairings where the GPU is the more power-constrained component.

Benchmark Performance

In Cinebench R23, it scores 20034 in multicore and 2020 in single-core, showing a strong balance between multi-threaded and single-threaded tasks. The PassMark multithread score of 29779 and single-thread score of 3703 corroborate this balance. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, has an average score of 40431, a delta of -0.3%, meaning the Intel part is slightly slower in aggregate.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 27435 places it in the 73rd percentile. The PassMark G3D score of 19587 is the most direct gaming performance indicator. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 109197 and Vulkan score of 108367 show strong compute and API performance. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, has an average score of 27425, a delta of 0%, indicating near-identical performance. The desktop RTX 3090, however, has an average score of 27565, a delta of -0.5%, meaning the mobile 4070 is slightly slower than a last-gen flagship desktop card.

The combined picture shows a system that is stronger on the CPU side than the GPU side. The CPU’s 87th percentile is notably higher than the GPU’s 73rd percentile, suggesting the CPU has more relative headroom. The combined percentile of 80 reflects this, as the system overall is high-end but not at the absolute top tier. The CPU’s avgBenchmarkScore of 40313 is significantly higher than the GPU’s 27435, indicating the CPU contributes more to the system’s overall performance score in synthetic benchmarks.
