Ryzen 7 9800X3D + RTX 4070 Ti Super 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 4070 Ti Super was not measured at 1080p in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.

1440p

RTX 4070 Ti Super was not measured at 1440p in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.

Mild GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 112–112 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9800X3Dceiling ~165 fps on its own

GPU RTX 4070 Ti Superceiling ~112 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 32.1%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

That range justifies a 144 Hz monitor in this game.

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

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

RX 7900 XTX — ceiling ~176 fps (smallest step that removes the limit) · full result
RTX 4090 — ceiling ~216 fps (strongest measured) · full result
