Ryzen 7 7700X + Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB in Elden Ring

Neither a measured verdict nor a direct benchmark covers every figure on this page, so the pair figures below are labelled estimates: calculated from this game's measured results (the measured CPU ceilings and GPU results on the Elden Ring benchmarks page), each with its confidence level and the measured parts it is interpolated between. Estimates are badged and styled differently from measured verdicts, and are never presented as measurements. Settings: Highest settings (TechPowerUp RTX 5090 review suite), framerate cap removed - the shipped game caps at 60 fps. CPU ceiling measured at 1080p, highest settings (TechPowerUp CPU suite), RTX 4090, framerate cap removed.

1080p Estimate — not a measurement

Estimated: Balanced pairing

Estimated frame rate: ~124–151 fps (calculated range, not a measured one).

CPU Ryzen 7 7700Xceiling ~151 fps on its own (measured)
GPU Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GBestimated delivery ~124–157 fps in this game at 1080p

On the estimated figures, the CPU ceiling and the GPU's delivered rate sit within 7.1% of each other — neither part wastes much of the other. The gap is calculated between the two figures above: (faster − slower) ÷ faster.

That range justifies a 144 Hz monitor in this game.

Estimate — calculated from 16 measured results in this game, not a direct measurement. Confidence: MEDIUM. The GPU figure is interpolated between RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti 8GB — the nearest measured GPUs in this game. If reviewers publish a benchmark for the estimated part, a measured verdict replaces this estimate. How estimates work.

1440p

CPU-only figure: with a flagship GPU installed, Ryzen 7 7700X tops out at ~151 fps in this game (measured CPU ceiling — it applies at every resolution). Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB has no measurement and no supported estimate at 1440p in this game, so there is no pair figure at this resolution.

4K

CPU-only figure: with a flagship GPU installed, Ryzen 7 7700X tops out at ~151 fps in this game (measured CPU ceiling — it applies at every resolution). Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB has no measurement and no supported estimate at 4K in this game, so there is no pair figure at this resolution.
