Gaming Performance Expectations

With this setup, you can expect:

• 1440p Gaming: This system can comfortably handle modern AAA games at high to ultra settings at 1440p.
• Ray Tracing & DLSS: The RTX 4070 will enable ray tracing and DLSS in supported games, offering a visual boost without significant performance losses.
• Fast Load Times: The NVMe SSD, coupled with high-speed RAM, should result in minimal load times and a responsive gaming experience.

Expected Gaming Performance Benchmarks

Here are approximate FPS estimates for popular games based on the Ryzen 5 9600X and RTX 4070 at various resolutions and settings. Keep in mind these are averages, as real-world performance can vary due to factors like game updates and system configuration.

1080p Gaming

• Cyberpunk 2077 (High Settings, Ray Tracing Off): ~110-130 FPS
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (Ultra Settings): ~150-170 FPS
• Fortnite (Epic Settings, DLSS Quality Mode): ~200+ FPS
• Red Dead Redemption 2 (Ultra Settings): ~90-110 FPS

At 1080p, the RTX 4070 can handle most games at ultra settings with high frame rates. The Ryzen 5 9600X's strong single-thread performance helps in achieving smooth gameplay, especially in CPU-intensive games or high frame-rate competitive titles.

1440p Gaming

• Cyberpunk 2077 (High Settings, Ray Tracing Off): ~80-100 FPS
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (Ultra Settings): ~120-140 FPS
• Fortnite (Epic Settings, DLSS Quality Mode): ~160-180 FPS
• Red Dead Redemption 2 (Ultra Settings): ~70-90 FPS

For 1440p gaming, this system shines, delivering high frame rates with excellent visuals. You may also enable ray tracing and use DLSS in supported games without significantly impacting performance, though it may reduce FPS somewhat in titles like Cyberpunk 2077.

4K Gaming

• Cyberpunk 2077 (High Settings, Ray Tracing Off, DLSS Quality Mode): ~45-60 FPS
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (High Settings): ~90-100 FPS
• Fortnite (Epic Settings, DLSS Performance Mode): ~120-140 FPS
• Red Dead Redemption 2 (High Settings): ~50-65 FPS

While the RTX 4070 can handle 4K gaming with some settings adjustments, especially with DLSS in performance or quality mode, it’s best for games where high frame rates aren't essential. This configuration will work well in visually stunning single-player games at 4K but might fall short in fast-paced competitive shooters if 60+ FPS is required.

Ray Tracing & DLSS

The RTX 4070 supports NVIDIA’s ray tracing and DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) features:

• Ray Tracing: While possible at 1440p, enabling ray tracing without DLSS can significantly reduce FPS in demanding titles. DLSS helps recover FPS, making ray tracing more viable.
• DLSS: DLSS 3.0 on the RTX 4070 provides a substantial FPS boost in compatible games, especially useful at 4K and with ray tracing enabled.

These PCs are custom-built, fully tested systems and require 3 business days for assembly. The components may vary due to stock availability, and the picture is for illustration purposes only (this means that if one of the components is unavailable, we will replace it with another component of equal or greater quality at no extra cost; for example, if the 750W Antec 80+ Bronze PSU is out of stock, we would replace it with a 850W Antec 80+ Gold PSU).
