Have an older CPU?

We no longer sell older processors, but they belong in the table: they show whether a GPU swap is enough or the whole platform needs replacing. Send us your configuration for a free upgrade quote; old hardware counts as a trade-in.

Frequently asked questions

Which CPU is best for the RTX 4070 Ti Super?
From our range we recommend the Ryzen 5 9600X (5 % loss at 1080p, 232 FPS on average). A sensible minimum is Ryzen 5 7500F (9 % loss at 1080p, 218 FPS on average). For the last few percent: Ryzen 7 9850X3D (0 % loss at 1080p, 272 FPS on average). All of them are in our configurator and we build the PC for you.
Is a Ryzen 5 5600 enough for the RTX 4070 Ti Super?
At 1080p the Ryzen 5 5600 averages 195 FPS with the RTX 4070 Ti Super, 15 % less than the strongest CPU (cpu holds it back a bit). At 1440p the gap is 6 %. In esports at medium settings (CS2, Valorant, Dota 2) the CPU matters more: 410 FPS on average versus 622 FPS with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D.
What resolution is the RTX 4070 Ti Super good for?
With maximum settings and no upscaling the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is a 1440p card: with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D it averages 93 FPS in demanding games (Cyberpunk 2077, Kingdom Come 2, Battlefield 6…) and 524 FPS in esports. With DLSS/FSR you can go one resolution higher.
How many FPS does the RTX 4070 Ti Super get with the Ryzen 5 9600X?
