How many FPS do AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and NVIDIA RTX 5070 manage in Counter-Strike 2 at 1440p and high settings?
An estimated 247 FPS in Counter-Strike 2 at 1440p and high settings. In more demanding titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 it is closer to 128 FPS. Both are model calculations, not measurements.
Is the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X + NVIDIA RTX 5070 combination enough for 1440p?
By the model, yes: for 1440p at high settings the combination is a good fit. Balanced for 1440p. The graphics card is the narrower side, and at this resolution that is how it should be: more pixels load the card, not the processor. Your processor keeps headroom (43 % apart), which is why the frame rate stays steady in busy scenes. There is no reason to upgrade. At around 247 frames, more power no longer changes the band you play in.
