How we compare
- Graphics cards are tested with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D so the CPU does not hold them back.
- Processors are tested with an RTX 5090 at 1080p, where the CPU sets the frame rate, and with an RTX 5070 at 1440p for a realistic mid-range build.
- FPS comes from our FPS model, calibrated against published review results; expect real results within about ±12%.
- Specs are from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA.
Sources: Tom’s Hardware GPU hierarchy, Tom’s Hardware CPU hierarchy, TechSpot CPU and GPU scaling tests, TechPowerUp GPU database, and manufacturer specifications from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA. Bottleneck and FPS figures come from our own bottleneck and FPS models.
