Core i9-13900K + RX 6950 XT in Baldur's Gate 3

Every figure below is a measurement aggregated from published review charts — the CPU's frame-rate ceiling and the GPU's frame-rate ceiling in this game, combined. Settings: Ultra preset, DX11, native rendering, no upscaling, no frame generation. CPU ceiling measured at 1080p, Medium preset (reviewers' CPU-isolation method), flagship GPU, Act III.

1080p

RX 6950 XT was not measured at 1080p in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.

1440p

RX 6950 XT was not measured at 1440p in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.

Balanced pairing

Expected frame rate: 105–105 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Core i9-13900Kceiling ~122 fps on its own

GPU RX 6950 XTceiling ~105 fps on its own

The two measured ceilings sit within 14.2% of each other — neither part wastes much of the other.

That range suits a 60 Hz monitor; a high-refresh panel would be underused in this game.

Confidence: MEDIUM — based on 2 source measurements for these two parts.
