The Ryzen 5 7600 has no CPU bottleneck with the RTX 4070 Super at 1080p: the graphics card is the part that limits FPS, which is what you want in a gaming PC.
Ryzen 5 7600 · 6 cores / 12 threads, AM5RTX 4070 Super · 12 GB, Ada Lovelace
The Ryzen 5 7600 and the RTX 4070 Super are a good match. The processor keeps up with the graphics card in nearly all games, so you get the full speed of the card you paid for.
The percentage is how much of the RTX 4070 Super's speed the Ryzen 5 7600 leaves unused, on average across 208 games on High settings. At 1080p the processor is the limit in 64 of them.
Estimated FPS on High settings, CPU-heavy games first. "CPU FPS" is what the processor can prepare, "GPU FPS" what the graphics card can draw: the lower one sets your frame rate.

No. At 1080p, 1440p and 4K the RTX 4070 Super is the part that limits FPS, so the Ryzen 5 7600 is fast enough for it.
Yes. At 1440p the graphics card does more of the work, and the Ryzen 5 7600 keeps up with the RTX 4070 Super in most games.
Of the popular cards we checked, the fastest one the Ryzen 5 7600 can feed at 1080p without a real bottleneck (under 10%) is the RTX 5070 Ti. At 1440p and 4K it can drive faster cards, because the graphics card does more of the work.
It is an estimate from our FPS model, not a benchmark: for every game we estimate the FPS the processor can prepare and the FPS the graphics card can draw on High settings, then compare them. Real results depend on the game, the scene, RAM speed and settings. To check it on your own PC, compare CPU and GPU usage with an FPS counter while you play.
How we calculate it: the same model as our FPS Estimator and Bottleneck Calculator, based on published benchmark averages. These are estimates, not our own lab tests. Learn how to spot a bottleneck on your own PC inCPU Bottleneck Explained, or check your parts with Check My PC.
