Core Ultra 7 265K + RTX 3070 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

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 92–92 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Core Ultra 7 265Kceiling ~175 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3070ceiling ~92 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 47.2%: 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.

1440p

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 64–64 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Core Ultra 7 265Kceiling ~175 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3070ceiling ~64 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 63.4%: 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.

4K

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 34–34 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Core Ultra 7 265Kceiling ~175 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3070ceiling ~34 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 80.7%: 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.
