Pc Building Simulator

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, this combination struggles to maintain playable frame rates across all tested presets. The High preset delivers an average of 19 FPS, while Ultra drops slightly lower to 18 FPS. Medium settings produce 26 FPS on average, with minimums of 22 FPS and maximums of 30 FPS. Low settings are the strongest at this resolution, reaching 37 FPS on average, but this still falls well short of the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results improve considerably. The Low preset achieves an average of 71 FPS, clearing the 60 FPS bar with some headroom. Medium settings average 50 FPS, with recorded minimums of 43 FPS and maximums of 58 FPS. High settings deliver 36 FPS on average, and Ultra drops to 34 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is substantial, indicating that the medium preset places noticeably more demand on the hardware.

At 1920x1080, the data shows a much more capable experience. Low settings produce 113 FPS on average, which is the highest recorded score in the entire dataset. Medium settings average 80 FPS, with minimums of 68 FPS and maximums of 92 FPS. High settings reach 56 FPS on average, just under the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra settings average 54 FPS, also slightly below the playability line. The 1080p resolution is clearly where this hardware combination is most comfortable.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data reveals a system that is heavily constrained by the graphics processor at higher resolutions. The Intel Arc B370, with its system-shared memory and integrated graphics design, carries a percentile ranking of 5 among all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 1184 places it in a performance tier comparable to older discrete graphics solutions. The scaling between resolutions confirms this: dropping from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080 at Medium settings improves the average from 26 FPS to 80 FPS, a gain of over 200 percent. This dramatic improvement indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K and that pixel throughput limits the experience.

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, by contrast, is a far more capable component. Its percentile ranking of 77 among all CPUs, combined with an average benchmark score of 25005, shows that the processor has ample headroom for this simulation title. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, along with its Zen 4 architecture, provide strong single-threaded performance, as reflected in the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2943. At 1080p, where the GPU is less stressed, the CPU's capabilities are more relevant, but the data still shows the GPU holding back performance.

The preset scaling further illustrates this dynamic. At 2560x1440, moving from Low to Medium drops the average from 71 FPS to 50 FPS, a 30 percent reduction. At 3840x2160, the same preset change brings the average from 37 FPS to 26 FPS, a 30 percent decline as well. The consistent proportional drops suggest that the GPU is uniformly taxed across settings, while the CPU maintains stable frame delivery. The lack of min/max data for several presets, particularly at High and Ultra, makes it difficult to assess frame pacing, but the averages alone show a clear GPU-bound scenario.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database provide useful context. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F scores 24964 on average, just 0.2 percent behind the 8400F. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, a 0.3 percent difference. The Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, 0.4 percent lower. On the other side, the AMD EPYC 9474F scores 25103, which is 0.4 percent higher. These tight margins mean that swapping to any of these processors would produce nearly identical results in this game, as the CPU is not the limiting factor here.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are much older parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, just 0.2 percent higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5 percent higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7 percent higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4 percent lower. These comparisons underscore how limited the Arc B370's raw performance is; it sits alongside hardware from a previous era of graphics technology. In practical terms, any of these GPUs would deliver similar frame rates in Pc Building Simulator, meaning the experience would be equally constrained at higher resolutions.

The Verdict

The verdict data is clear and unambiguous. At 3840x2160, no settings preset achieves 60 FPS, and the database records no playable settings for this resolution. The best average at 4K is 37 FPS on Low, which is insufficient for smooth gameplay. At 2560x1440, the Low preset is the only playable option, delivering 71 FPS on average and clearing the threshold with a modest margin. Medium settings at 1440p fall short at 50 FPS, so users must stick to the lowest preset.

At 1920x1080, the system can run the game comfortably. Low settings achieve 113 FPS, and Medium settings average 80 FPS, both well above the 60 FPS line. High settings at 56 FPS and Ultra at 54 FPS are close but do not meet the playability standard. The best playable setting at 1080p is Medium, with an average of 80 FPS. This system can run Pc Building Simulator, but only at 1080p with medium or lower settings, or at 1440p with low settings. 4K is not viable under any preset.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 3723 combinations tested in the database, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3436th in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the bottom 8 percent of tested systems, reflecting the GPU's severe performance limitation. The rank is consistent with the measured frame rates: the system can only handle the game at modest resolutions and presets. The CPU's strong standing, in the 77th percentile, does little to offset the GPU's 5th percentile ranking. For users considering similar hardware, the data indicates that the graphics component will define the experience in this simulation title, and that expectations should be set accordingly based on the resolution and settings outlined above.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset meets the 60 FPS requirement, so there is no recommended setting. The closest is Low at 37 FPS, but this is not playable by the established standard. At 2560x1440, the Low preset is the most demanding option that stays at or above 60 FPS, achieving an average of 71 FPS. Medium at 50 FPS is not viable. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset is the most demanding option that clears the threshold, delivering an average of 80 FPS with minimums of 68 FPS and maximums of 92 FPS. Low settings at 1080p reach 113 FPS, but Medium offers a better visual experience while still maintaining comfortable headroom above 60 FPS. For users who prioritize frame rate stability, sticking to these recommended settings will keep the game smooth, while pushing to High or Ultra at any resolution will result in sub-60 FPS averages.
