1. Introduction
As the saying goes, “a good horse deserves a good saddle.” The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is a mid-to-high-end graphics card. If you’re planning to build a PC with this card, it’s usually paired with a mid-to-high-end processor (such as the Ryzen 7 9700X, etc.), and not with the entry-level AM5 platform model Ryzen 5 7500F, which would be a highly unreasonable combination.
Nevertheless, testing the gaming performance of a setup combining the Ryzen 5 7500F and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti still holds value. It can help users of the Ryzen 5 7500F processor (and other similar-performance models) assess whether this combination causes a performance bottleneck, with the results serving as a reference.
