Ryzen 7 2700 + RTX 4070 Ti in Starfield

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, native rendering, no upscaling, no frame generation. CPU ceiling measured at 1080p, Low preset (reviewers' CPU-isolation method), flagship GPU.

1080p

Mild CPU limit

Expected frame rate: 53–75 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 2700ceiling ~54–75 fps on its own
GPU RTX 4070 Ticeiling ~53–104 fps on its own

The CPU side is lower by about 17.8%: 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: LOW — based on 4 source measurements for these two parts.

1440p

Balanced pairing

Expected frame rate: 44–75 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 2700ceiling ~54–75 fps on its own
GPU RTX 4070 Ticeiling ~44–85 fps on its own

The two measured ceilings sit within 0.2% of each other — neither part wastes much of the other.

That range suits a 60 Hz monitor; a high-refresh panel would be underused in this game.

Confidence: LOW — based on 4 source measurements for these two parts.

4K

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 29–56 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 2700ceiling ~54–75 fps on its own
GPU RTX 4070 Ticeiling ~29–56 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 33.9%: 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: LOW — based on 4 source measurements for these two parts.
