Ryzen 7 4700G

Model frame rate limit of 94 FPS. That is roughly the fastest this processor can feed a graphics card in a modern AAA title, no matter which card you fit.

The Ryzen 7 4700G is one of the slowest gaming processor in our database, with a model frame rate limit of 94 FPS.

With 8 cores and 16 threads it has room to game and stream at the same time.

It uses the AM4 socket with DDR4 memory, and at 1440p it can keep up with a card as fast as the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB.

Frame Rate Limit in Popular Games

Game (settings)Most FPS the Ryzen 7 4700G can feed
Cyberpunk 2077 (High, no ray tracing) ~80
Fortnite (High, DirectX 12) ~120
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (High) ~105
Counter-Strike 2 (High) ~205

Modelled estimates with an unlimited graphics card, rounded to the nearest 5 FPS. Your real frame rate is the lower of this and what your card can render. See the methodology.

1080p GeForce RTX 2080 Super 94
1440p GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB 91
4K GeForce RTX 5080 94

"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.

Common Questions

Is the Ryzen 7 4700G good for an RTX 5070?

It holds the card back at 1440p. In our model the Ryzen 7 4700G tops out near 94 FPS while the RTX 5070 could reach about 106, leaving roughly 11% of the card unused. It is a reasonable pairing at 4K, where the card does more work per frame.

What is the best GPU for the Ryzen 7 4700G?

At 1440p, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is the closest match: the two run out of headroom at about the same frame rate, so neither is wasted. A faster card still makes sense if you play at 4K, where the processor matters less.

Is the Ryzen 7 4700G still good for gaming?

For older or lighter games, yes. Its 94 FPS frame rate limit and 16 threads mean modern AAA games run, but it will limit any recent mid-range or better card.

Will the Ryzen 7 4700G bottleneck an RTX 5080?

Yes, at 1440p. It leaves about 37% of the RTX 5080 unused in our model (94 FPS from the processor against 149 from the card). At 4K the gap shrinks a lot.
