The first RTX 4090 run was frame limited. It is retained below, but excluded from comparisons.
Average FPS follows the report’s calculation: the sample mean rounded down. Minimum and maximum are sampled FPS, not percentile lows.
| Reported metric | RTX 4070 Ti | RTX 4090 |
|---|---|---|
| Average FPS | 123 | 200 |
| Minimum FPS | 98.08 | 148.57 |
| Maximum FPS | 144.28 | 265.05 |
| GPU time (ms) | 7.66 | 4.44 |
| CPU time (ms) | 5.25 | 4.68 |
| GPU temperature (°C) | 68 | 72 |
| GPU load (%) | 93 | 89 |

Imported directly from the supplied benchmark exports. Siege chart samples are aligned by relative sample position; they are not synchronized timestamps. BO7 uses the export’s summary rows. No results have been discarded or corrected. Only the explicitly capped Siege run is excluded from headline comparisons.
