i5-14500 + GeForce RTX 5070 (12GB) Ultra settings unless noted, stock clocks

1440p (High / Ultra)

• Call of Duty MW3 / Warzone – ~140–170 FPS

• Fortnite (DX12, Epic) – ~160–190 FPS

• Apex Legends – ~190–220 FPS

• Cyberpunk 2077 (Ultra, no RT) – ~95–110 FPS

• Cyberpunk 2077 (RT + DLSS Balanced) – ~80–95 FPS

• Hogwarts Legacy (Ultra, no RT) – ~95–110 FPS

• Starfield (Ultra) – ~75–90 FPS

• Baldur’s Gate 3 – ~140–160 FPS

4K (High / Ultra)

• Modern AAA titles – ~55–70 FPS

• With DLSS enabled – ~75–95 FPS

• Esports titles – 90–120+ FPS

🧠 Why this combo works: The i5-14500’s 14 cores handle modern engines and background tasks well, while the RTX 5070 delivers strong raster + DLSS performance at 1440p.

The video comparison has a 14600k instead of a 14500 however they have the same core and thread count with the 14500 having slightly lower max clock speed. Expect about a 2-4% FPS variance and cooler temps
