Core i7-11700

Best match at each resolution

Resolution	Closest matched card	Estimated FPS
1080p	Radeon RX 9070 GRE	123
1440p	Radeon RX 7900 XT	122
4K	GeForce RTX 4090	108

"Closest matched" means the two parts run out of headroom at about the same frame rate, so neither is obviously wasted. A faster card is still worth buying if you plan to raise the resolution later.

The cards it lands closest to

The 24 graphics cards whose frame rate limit sits nearest this processor's, fastest first. Anything faster than the top of this table is wasted on it at 1080p, and anything slower is a card it will never trouble. For any other combination, use the calculator.
