Core i7-14700K + RTX 4080 Super in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

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, upscaling disabled. CPU ceiling measured at 1080p, highest settings (TechPowerUp CPU suite), RTX 5090.

1080p

Balanced pairing

Expected frame rate: 170–170 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Core i7-14700Kceiling ~186 fps on its own

GPU RTX 4080 Superceiling ~170 fps on its own

The two measured ceilings sit within 9.1% of each other — neither part wastes much of the other.

That range feeds a 165 Hz or faster monitor — this is high-refresh territory in this game.

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

1440p

Mild GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 126–126 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Core i7-14700Kceiling ~186 fps on its own

GPU RTX 4080 Superceiling ~126 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 32.7%: 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.

4K

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 68–68 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Core i7-14700Kceiling ~186 fps on its own

GPU RTX 4080 Superceiling ~68 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 63.3%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

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.

No GPU measured in this game at 1440p fully clears this CPU - the strongest measured option:

RTX 5090 — ceiling ~186 fps (still the limiting side, but the highest measured ceiling) · full result
