Ryzen 7 7800X3D with RTX 4070 Ti Super: Bottleneck & FPS

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 4070 Ti Super leave the CPU with plenty of spare headroom at 1440p: about 112 FPS on average in AAA games at High settings, with 1% lows around 92 FPS. The RTX 4070 Ti Super is the limiting part at every resolution, so the 8-core Ryzen 7 7800X3D (AM5) still has headroom for about 176 FPS and room for a faster card later. In esports titles such as CS2 or Valorant expect around 354 FPS, enough for a 240 Hz monitor, while CPU-heavy games like Microsoft Flight Simulator drop to about 96 FPS with a 31% CPU bottleneck. With ray tracing enabled, expect about 65 FPS at 1440p.
