Ryzen 9 9950X + RTX 4070 Ti 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

Mild GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 144–144 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 9 9950Xceiling ~201 fps on its own

GPU RTX 4070 Ticeiling ~144 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 28.2%: 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.

1440p

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 103–103 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 9 9950Xceiling ~201 fps on its own

GPU RTX 4070 Ticeiling ~103 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 48.8%: 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: 54–54 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 9 9950Xceiling ~201 fps on its own

GPU RTX 4070 Ticeiling ~54 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 73.3%: 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.

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
