DEEP-DIVE ANALYSIS
GENERATED BY THE ENGINEPairing the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (62/100 on our gaming index) with the NVIDIA RTX 4070 SUPER (49/100) raises one practical question: do they pull together, or does one hold the other back? We ran this exact combination across all supported resolutions to answer it with numbers rather than guesswork.
Straight answer: aim for 1440p
At 1080p the Ryzen 7 5700G becomes the limiting part (~24% CPU bottleneck), whereas at 4K the RTX 4070 SUPER is the limiting part (~34% GPU bottleneck). Of the common 16:9 sizes, the highest this pair holds above 60 FPS in AAA titles is 1440p, where it averages 71 FPS — that is the resolution worth buying a monitor for. Across every resolution tested, ultrawides included, the system runs at 73% average efficiency.
Resolution reshuffles the priorities. At 1080p the Ryzen 7 5700G's single-thread speed calls the shots; at 4K it's the raw muscle of the RTX 4070 SUPER that matters. That shift shows up in the numbers: 76% efficiency at 1080p versus 66% at 4K.
Down to real numbers: In esports titles like Valorant this pair flies — around 464 FPS at 1080p, plenty for a high-refresh monitor. At the other end, a demanding AAA like Alan Wake 2 drops to ~26 FPS at 4K, which is where the RTX 4070 SUPER's ceiling really shows. Overall, expect about 94 FPS average in AAA games at 1080p and around 46 FPS at 4K.
[CPU] Ryzen 7 5700G
The Ryzen 7 5700G scores 62/100 on this model's gaming scale, with 8 cores and 16 threads. In this pairing its job is to serve frames fast enough to never leave the graphics card waiting.
[GPU] RTX 4070 SUPER
On the graphics side, the RTX 4070 SUPER rates 49/100 for gaming in this model. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X set how far it can go on resolution and texture quality before video memory runs short. The higher the resolution, the more of the frame rate depends on it.
Beyond the FPS: The graphics card is about 3 years newer than the processor, so watch that the Ryzen 7 5700G doesn't fall short in the most CPU-dependent games. You're combining an AMD platform with an NVIDIA GPU — a perfectly valid mix that imposes no penalty.
DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING?
At 1440p neither part appreciably holds the other back, so there is nothing you need to change. The Ryzen 7 5700G and the RTX 4070 SUPER stand as they are; a 600W supply gives the build headroom.

ESTIMATED FPS BY GAME
1920x1080SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
POWER · VRAM & PCIe · RAMPOWER ESTIMATION
The Ryzen 7 5700G (65W) and RTX 4070 SUPER (220W) add up to roughly 285W under load. Adding 150W for the rest of the system gives 435W, and with a 30% transient margin, 600W is the safe figure.
VIDEO MEMORY AND PCIe
The RTX 4070 SUPER's memory bus (192-bit) and bandwidth (504 GB/s) describe its own video memory, meaning how fast the card reads its 12 GB of GDDR6X, not the PCIe link to the processor. The PCIe link depends on the card, the processor and the motherboard slot together; our catalogue does not record PCIe generation or lane count, so the model does not estimate it. It matters most for cards with an eight-lane interface in older PCIe 3.0 boards: check the card's and the board's specifications.
SYSTEM MEMORY
This page assumes 16 GB in dual channel. At 1440p, the resolution recommended above, that meets the model's capacity target of 16 GB (enough for three in four of the games it covers), so more capacity would add little or nothing there. The target stays at 16 GB even at 4K, so a larger kit is for heavy multitasking or mods, not for these games. Memory speed and a second channel act on the processor's ceiling instead: they matter in the games the CPU limits, by an amount that depends on the game, and the calculator lets you enter your own kit.
HOW THIS PAGE IS CALCULATED
ENGINE v2026.08 · 2026-09-11CALCULATED, NOT WRITTEN
Every figure and every sentence comes from the same deterministic engine, driven by the catalogue specifications. That is what makes it reproducible: with the same engine version (2026.08) and the same catalogue, the same pairing always gives the same result. When either changes, the version and date above change with it, and the changelog says why.
WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM
Specifications come from the official AMD, Intel and NVIDIA datasheets together with PassMark and TechPowerUp. The gaming indices are calibrated against frame rates published by review outlets (TechPowerUp, TechSpot / Hardware Unboxed, Tom's Hardware, Gamers Nexus, Digital Foundry) rather than synthetic scores. That data is compiled, not measured here: this site runs no test bench of its own.
STATED LIMITS
Figures estimate native raster performance at high/ultra quality, with no ray tracing, upscaling or frame generation. We do not yet publish an externally validated error margin — the accuracy page states exactly where that stands.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
5Does the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G bottleneck the NVIDIA RTX 4070 SUPER?
At 1080p the Ryzen 7 5700G becomes the limiting part (~24% CPU bottleneck), whereas at 4K the RTX 4070 SUPER is the limiting part (~34% GPU bottleneck). Overall, the GPU is the limit at high resolution, with 73% average efficiency across the 12 resolutions our model tests. The resolution we would target with this pair is 1440p, where AAA games average 71 FPS.
How many FPS do the Ryzen 7 5700G and RTX 4070 SUPER get at 1080p?
At 1080p this combination averages about 94 FPS in AAA games and around 291 FPS in esports titles. In Valorant we estimate up to 464 FPS.
Is this pairing good for 4K gaming?
Playable rather than smooth: about 46 FPS on average in AAA titles at 4K, with the RTX 4070 SUPER setting the limit. Upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) or lower settings are the usual way to reach 60 FPS.
What power supply do I need for the Ryzen 7 5700G and RTX 4070 SUPER?
With an estimated combined draw of 285W across CPU and GPU, we recommend at least a 600W 80+ Gold supply (ideally ATX 3.0) to run with headroom.
Is the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of VRAM enough?
12 GB covers all 11 tracked games at 1440p in the model; at 4K, 3 of them would need more, which costs frames or texture quality in those titles.
