Team Fortress 2 benchmark on RTX 5070: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Team Fortress 2 FPS with a RTX 5070 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 107FPS min 73Good | 89FPS min 67Good | 53FPS min 46Acceptable |
| High | 140FPS min 95Excellent | 115FPS min 86Good | 69FPS min 60Good |
| Medium | 183FPS min 124Excellent | 151FPS min 113Excellent | 91FPS min 80Good |
| Low | 236FPS min 160Excellent | 195FPS min 146Excellent | 117FPS min 102Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 33% | CPU 21% | GPU 16% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 5070. There is 15% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Team Fortress 2 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 5070 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 107 | 134 | 155 | 228 |
| 1440p | 89 | 120 | 147 | 204 |
| 4K | 53 | 77 | 98 | 131 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 5070 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 5070 has headroom to spare in Team Fortress 2: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 5070 Enough for Team Fortress 2?
The RTX 5070 delivers 107 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Team Fortress 2. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 89 FPS and at 4K 53 FPS at Ultra quality.
