How many FPS do Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD RX 6700 XT manage in Counter-Strike 2 at 1440p and high settings?
An estimated 140 FPS in Counter-Strike 2 at 1440p and high settings. In more demanding titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 it is closer to 73 FPS. Both are model calculations, not measurements.
Is the Intel Core i5-12400F + AMD RX 6700 XT combination enough for 1440p?
For 1440p this combination sits at the entry level. In demanding games you will need to reduce detail or use upscaling such as DLSS or FSR. 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 (62 % apart), which is why the frame rate stays steady in busy scenes. There is no reason to upgrade. At around 140 frames, more power no longer changes the band you play in.
