Intel Core i7-8700 Processor (12M Cache, up to 4.60 GHz) Benchmark Results — All GPU Pairings Tested

Intel Core i7-8700 Processor (12M Cache, up to 4.60 GHz) has been stress-tested in 17 distinct GPU pairings from 126 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 63.9/100 (grade C). The strongest measured pairing is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 at 71/100; the weakest is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti at 58/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 3.7% with thermal health around 91/100.

What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.
