Data for the Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 describes a desktop build: buildClass is desktop. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination — the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data, and dataIsMeasured is false. The CPU sits at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, the GPU at the 73rd percentile of all GPUs, and the pair has a combined percentile of 83. All FPS discussion below is therefore estimated from the synthetic benchmark scores, not from direct game measurements.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: Benchmark results indicate a strong high-refresh gaming platform. The CPU’s single-thread Cinebench R23 score is 6030 and its PassMark single-thread score is 4698, placing it in the 93rd overall CPU percentile. The GPU provides 24 GB of GDDR6X memory with 936.2 GB/s bandwidth, which is well matched to high-resolution, high-texture game workloads. Because no measured FPS rows exist, this is an estimated rather than measured result.

Streaming: Streaming a game alongside broadcasting software is a parallel workload. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 42718, its PassMark multithread score is 50146, and its PassMark integer math score is 123030, indicating substantial parallel headroom. The GPU’s PassMark compute score of 15356 adds general-purpose compute capacity for workloads that can use it, though the FACT PACK contains no encoder-specific data.

Video editing: Video editing benefits from both processor types. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42718 and Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 17941 show a high-core-count processor, while the GPU’s Geekbench OpenCL score of 172758 and Vulkan score of 53927 show strong compute throughput. The 24 GB VRAM and 936.2 GB/s bandwidth are suited to large texture sets and high-resolution timelines.

3D rendering: For rendering, the CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42718 is the main data point for CPU-based renderers, while the GPU’s 82 RT cores and 328 tensor cores are the relevant data points for accelerated rendering workloads. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5118 and PassMark G3D score of 26645 show that the GPU is capable in modern graphics APIs and rendering-oriented workloads.

Software development: The CPU’s PassMark integer math score of 123030, extended instructions score of 42880, and data encryption score of 41292 map directly to compile, encryption, and data-processing tasks. The single-thread Cinebench R23 score of 6030 means editor interaction should remain responsive while builds run in the background.

Student and office work: Office and productivity workloads are largely single-thread bound, and the CPU’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6030 is strong for those tasks. The integrated graphics field is listed as N/A, so the discrete RTX 3090 must drive the display; this is not a low-power office configuration.

Gaming Performance

No measuredFpsUltraByGame rows exist in the FACT PACK, so there are no measured FPS values by game and resolution for this exact combination. All frame-rate statements in this section are estimates from the synthetic benchmark scores. The GPU’s aggregate average score is 27565, placing it at the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. In aggregate benchmarks, it sits close to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile at 27435, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT at 27425, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 at 27839, and the AMD Radeon RX 7800M at 27883. The deltaPct values are 0.5% ahead of the RTX 4070 Mobile, 0.5% ahead of the RX 6700 XT, 1.0% behind the Radeon Pro Vega 20, and 1.1% behind the RX 7800M.

Those comparisons frame the expected game performance class. The CPU’s high single-thread ranking means gaming frame rate should be limited by the GPU more often than by the processor. With 24 GB of VRAM and 936.2 GB/s bandwidth, the GPU is well matched to high-resolution and high-texture workloads, but without measured FPS rows this remains a qualitative estimate rather than a measured result.

FAQ

Q: How much memory does the RTX 3090 have?

A: It has 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus with 936.2 GB/s bandwidth.

Q: What is the combined performance percentile of this CPU and GPU pairing?

A: The combinedPercentile is 83, with the CPU at the 93rd percentile and the GPU at the 73rd percentile.

Q: Are there measured FPS results for this exact combination?

A: No. The measuredFpsUltraByGame object is empty, and dataIsMeasured is false.

Q: What GPU architecture does this build use?

A: The RTX 3090 uses the Ampere architecture with the GA102 chip, 82 RT cores, and 328 tensor cores.

Who Should Build It

The target users for this build are gamers who want high refresh rates at high resolutions: the GPU’s 73rd percentile and 24 GB frame buffer pair with a CPU at the 93rd percentile. Content creators working with video or 3D rendering benefit from the CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42718 and the GPU’s OpenCL score of 172758 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 5118. Developers compiling large projects can use the CPU’s PassMark integer math score of 123030 and extended instructions score of 42880.

Students and office workers running productivity suites will be well served by the CPU’s single-thread Cinebench R23 score of 6030, though the lack of integrated graphics requires the discrete GPU for display output. Small business workstations can take advantage of the CPU’s ECC memory support and dual-channel DDR5 bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s, while the GPU’s compute score of 15356 supports general parallel workloads.

Balance and Bottleneck

Balance can be assessed from the percentile positions. The CPU is at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. In gaming, the lower-ranked component is typically the frame-rate ceiling, so the RTX 3090 is the more likely limiter. The CPU’s single-thread Cinebench R23 score of 6030 and PassMark single-thread score of 4698 provide enough headroom in CPU-bound scenes.

In CPU-heavy workloads, the CPU is clearly the stronger half, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42718 and PassMark multithread score of 50146. The GPU still contributes through OpenCL score 172758 and compute score 15356. No measured FPS rows exist, so exact bottleneck percentages cannot be derived; the percentile gap between the CPU and GPU is the main evidence for a GPU-limited gaming tendency.

GPU Analysis

The RTX 3090 uses the Ampere architecture, built on the GA102 chip at Samsung’s 8 nm process. It contains 28,300 million transistors on a 628 mm² die, with a transistor density of 45.1M per mm². The GPU has 10496 shading units, 328 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 82 RT cores, and 328 tensor cores. Base clock is 1395 MHz, boost clock is 1695 MHz, and memory clock is 1219 MHz with 19.5 Gbps effective. Memory is 24 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus, providing 936.2 GB/s bandwidth.

The card’s pixel rate is 189.8 GPixel/s, texture rate is 556.0 GTexel/s, and FP32 and FP16 performance are both 35.58 TFLOPS with a 1:1 FP16 ratio. Board specifications include a 350 W TDP, triple-slot width, 1x 12-pin power connector, suggested 750 W PSU, PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, and display outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Benchmark scores for the GPU include 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 5118, Geekbench OpenCL 172758, Geekbench Vulkan 53927, PassMark G3D 26645, and PassMark GPU compute 15356. The aggregate average score is 27565, with a 73rd percentile position. The 82 RT cores and 328 tensor cores provide hardware support for ray tracing and tensor-based rendering workloads, and the 1:1 FP16 ratio means FP16 throughput is not halved relative to FP32.
