Do the Core Ultra 5 245K and Radeon RX 7700 XT bottleneck each other?

No. At 1080p (1920 x 1080) the Core Ultra 5 245K keeps the Radeon RX 7700 XT fed with a little headroom to spare, which is what a balanced build looks like. Expect about 88 fps on High.

How many fps do the Core Ultra 5 245K and Radeon RX 7700 XT get at 1080p (1920 x 1080)?

Around 88 fps on the High preset. The Core Ultra 5 245K tops out near 151 fps and the Radeon RX 7700 XT near 91 fps, and the lower of the two sets the frame rate.

The same pair at every resolution

A processor pushes roughly the same number of frames whatever the resolution. A graphics card pushes far fewer as pixels go up. That is why the limit moves as you climb this table, and why a bottleneck figure quoted without a resolution means nothing.

Resolution	Estimated fps	Limited by	Gap
720p (1280 x 720)	119 fps	Balanced	1.5%
1080p (1920 x 1080)	88 fps	Balanced	0%
1440p (2560 x 1440)	65 fps	GPU	11.1%
Ultrawide 1440p (3440 x 1440)	54 fps	GPU	27%
4K (3840 x 2160)	38 fps	GPU	49.2%
8K (7680 x 4320)	10 fps	GPU	86.7%

What to do about it

Nothing to fix. At 1080p (1920 x 1080) the Core Ultra 5 245K has just enough headroom over the Radeon RX 7700 XT to keep the card fed without wasting money on either side. This is what a balanced build looks like.
