The Intel Core i9-14900KS and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER form a desktop pairing with a 57th combined percentile. The CPU sits at the 96th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 18th percentile among all GPUs. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination; all FPS statements below are estimates from benchmark scores.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming depends on strong single-thread CPU performance and strong GPU throughput. The Core i9-14900KS delivers a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 7199 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2692, so the CPU side is well equipped. The GPU’s only benchmark score, 2690 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, places it at the 18th percentile, which makes the GPU the likely limit in high-refresh gaming scenarios.

Streaming adds a concurrent encoding workload to the same system. The CPU’s 24 cores and 32 threads produce a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 50995 and a PassMark multithread score of 60012, providing substantial headroom for simultaneous capture and encoding. The GPU’s low percentile still constrains the game-side frame delivery, but the CPU is not the obvious bottleneck in this workload.

Video editing benefits from both multithreaded CPU processing and GPU memory capacity. The CPU’s Geekbench multi-core score of 23931 and Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 21417 support export and processing tasks. The GPU brings 18 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth, though the 18th-percentile 3DMark result means GPU-accelerated performance is not strongly validated by the measured data.

3D rendering workloads that are CPU-bound should perform well. The CPU’s Cinebench R15 multi-core score is 5140, R20 multi-core is 21417, and R23 multi-core is 50995. For real-time 3D viewport rendering, the GPU’s 2690 Steel Nomad score is a weaker measured result, and the RT cores and tensor cores do not have separate benchmark scores in the data.

Software development involves integer-heavy and data-processing tasks. The CPU’s PassMark integer math score of 212644, extended instructions score of 45524, data compression score of 803368, and random string sorting score of 89789 all point to strong throughput for developer tooling. The GPU’s percentile is less relevant for compilation, parsing, and sorting workloads.

Student and office work is mostly single-threaded and light-threaded. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 7199, Geekbench single-core score of 2692, and PassMark single-thread score of 4815 are all high. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 is also present, so the low discrete GPU percentile has little impact on document-centric workloads.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is a GeForce 50-series part based on the GB205 chip and Blackwell 2.0 architecture. It is manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC with 31,100 million transistors and a 263 mm² die. The GPU has 6400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, 80 ROPs, 50 RT cores, and 200 tensor cores.

Memory specifications are substantial: 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth. The memory clock is listed as 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective transfer. The GPU base clock is 2325 MHz and boost clock is 2512 MHz. Pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s, texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s, and FP32/FP16 throughput is 32.15 TFLOPS for both, with FP16 at a 1:1 ratio.

The measured 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2690. This is the only GPU benchmark in the data. It places the GPU at the 18th percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M at 2664, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2662, the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2660, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2645. The deltas are 1%, 1.1%, 1.1%, and 1.7% respectively.

For rendering, the available measured baseline is therefore low relative to all GPUs. The high memory capacity and bandwidth do not translate into a high 3DMark percentile in this data. The RT core count of 50 and tensor core count of 200 indicate ray tracing and tensor hardware is present, but no ray tracing or tensor benchmark score is included, so their rendering impact cannot be quantified.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU and GPU have very different benchmark standings. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 81127, placing it at the 96th percentile among all CPUs. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 2690, placing it at the 18th percentile among all GPUs. The combined percentile for the build is 57.

Key CPU scores include Cinebench R23 multi-core 50995, Cinebench R23 single-core 7199, Geekbench multi-core 23931, Geekbench single-core 2692, PassMark multithread 60012, and PassMark single-thread 4815. Key GPU score is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 2690.

The CPU’s nearest rivals are very close. The Intel Xeon w5-3535X has an average score of 81115, the AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX has 81103, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 has 80762, and the Intel Xeon 638 has 80723. The deltas are 0%, 0%, 0.5%, and 0.5%. In effect, the CPU is statistically tied with the nearest competitors.

The GPU’s nearest rivals are much lower in the database distribution. The 2690 Steel Nomad score is only 1% above the Quadro K1100M and 1.1% above the GeForce GT 1030. This explains the GPU’s 18th-percentile position.

The combined picture is unbalanced: the CPU is a top-tier desktop processor by percentile, while the GPU is a low-tier performer in the only available benchmark. The combined 57th percentile is a middle-tier result driven by the CPU pulling the aggregate upward and the GPU pulling it downward.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5, with a dual-channel memory bus. ECC memory is supported. The CPU itself provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, and the GPU connects through PCIe 5.0 x16.

The CPU has a 150 W TDP. The GPU has a 275 W TDP. No suggested PSU is listed in the data for the GPU, so headroom cannot be quantified. The GPU uses one 16-pin power connector. The GPU is dual-slot and measures 245 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 40 mm in width.

The CPU has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is possible with a compatible Intel Socket 1700 board. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 is available in the CPU, and the discrete GPU provides display outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

A sensible next upgrade for this pairing is the GPU. The CPU is already at the 96th percentile, while the GPU is at the 18th percentile. The platform already carries PCIe 5.0 x16, so a higher-performing GPU can be installed without changing the socket or the PCIe bus. Memory can be DDR4 or DDR5 depending on board support, and the controller supports both.

Who Should Build It

This build is best suited to users whose workloads are CPU-heavy. Software developers have strong measured CPU throughput in integer math, extended instructions, data compression, encryption, and string sorting. Content creators working with multithreaded encoding or rendering can use the CPU’s 24-core, 32-thread design and high Cinebench multi-core scores.

Gamers should treat the GPU’s 18th-percentile benchmark position as the limiting factor. The CPU side is not the weakness; the GPU side is. For high-refresh gaming at high settings, the data does not support a claim of strong measured GPU performance.

Students and office users benefit from high single-thread performance and the presence of integrated UHD Graphics 770. Small business workstations that need ECC memory support can leverage the CPU’s dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 controller and ECC capability. The CPU’s production status is active, and the GPU production status is also active.

Build Overview

This is a desktop build pairing the Intel Core i9-14900KS with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER. The CPU’s launch MSRP was $689. The CPU was released on 2024-03-13, and the GPU has a listed release date of 2025-12-31.

The CPU and GPU are both active products. The CPU is on Intel Socket 1700, uses the Raptor Lake architecture, and has a 96th-percentile average benchmark position. The GPU uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, has 18 GB of GDDR7 memory, and has an 18th-percentile 3DMark position.

The combined percentile is 57. That places the overall build in the mid-range of the database distribution. The GPU is dual-slot, 245 mm long, 115 mm high, and 40 mm wide. The CPU TDP is 150 W and the GPU TDP is 275 W.

Overall, the build is a desktop configuration with a top-tier CPU, a low-tier measured GPU benchmark, and an aggregate position near the middle of the database.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between CPU and GPU is strongly skewed. The CPU is at the 96th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 18th percentile among all GPUs. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination, and the pairRankByFps field is null, so no FPS scaling evidence is available.

In graphics-bound workloads, the GPU is the likely bottleneck. Its 2690 3DMark Steel Nomad score and 18th-percentile ranking sit far below the CPU’s standing. In CPU-bound workloads, the CPU’s high multi-core and single-core scores make it unlikely to be the limiting component.

The combined percentile of 57 is lower than the CPU percentile, which indicates the GPU is dragging the aggregate result down. Without measured FPS data, the exact workload-by-workload split cannot be quantified. The available evidence is the percentile gap between components.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination. The measuredFpsUltraByGame collection is empty, and the dataIsMeasured flag is false. All FPS discussion in this section is estimated from benchmark scores.

The CPU’s single-core performance is strong enough to support responsive game logic and draw-call processing. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 7199 and Geekbench single-core score of 2692 are both high. The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, however, is at the 18th percentile.

For ultra settings, the estimated frame delivery would likely be limited by the GPU rather than the CPU. The exact FPS is not available because no measured rows exist. The data supports a cautious conclusion: the CPU will not obviously cap frame rate in this pairing, but the GPU’s measured benchmark tier is the main risk to high-refresh gaming performance.
