Ryzen 7 7700 + RTX 5050 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

RTX 5050 was not measured at 1080p in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.

1440p

RTX 5050 was not measured at 1440p in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.

4K

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 44–44 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 7700ceiling ~92 fps on its own

GPU RTX 5050ceiling ~44 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 52.0%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

That range sits under a smooth 60 in this game at the tested preset — expect to trade settings for frame rate.

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

GPUs measured in this game at 1440p that clear this CPU:

RTX 3070 — ceiling ~92 fps (smallest step that removes the limit) · full result
RTX 4090 — ceiling ~216 fps (strongest measured) · full result
