Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a measured performance profile in Pc Building Simulator that is heavily resolution-dependent. At 1080p the pairing clears 100 FPS on every preset, while 4K Ultra drops below 34 FPS, making the choice of settings and resolution the decisive factor. This analysis uses the measured average FPS data from the benchmark database, along with the component benchmark scores and nearest-rival comparisons. The CPU, an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 part with a 5.30 GHz boost clock and 32 MB of shared L3 cache, pairs with a 12 GB GDDR6 GPU built on the Xe2-HPG architecture with 2560 shading units and a 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth. The data indicates that this combo is capable of smooth playable frame rates across most common configurations, but 4K requires a significant settings compromise.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this title covers three resolutions and four quality presets, with average frame rates reported for each combination. Min and max frame data are not present in the dataset, so the analysis relies on average FPS alone. At 1920x1080, the combo is overwhelmingly strong. The Low preset averages 215.7 FPS, which is the highest measured value in the entire set. Medium drops to 153.5 FPS, while High averages 106.5 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 104.5 FPS, nearly identical to High, indicating that the game's Ultra settings do not impose a significantly heavier load on this hardware at this resolution. All four presets at 1080p are far above the 60 FPS playable threshold, leaving substantial headroom for background tasks or higher refresh rate displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains very solid but the scaling becomes more apparent. Low averages 133.9 FPS, which is still excellent for a 1440p panel. Medium averages 98.8 FPS, and High averages 66.6 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 63.7 FPS, just barely clearing the 60 FPS threshold. This shows a predictable progression: each step up in quality costs roughly 30 FPS at this resolution, with the gap between Medium and High being the largest. The fact that Ultra stays above 60 FPS is notable, as it means the user can run the game at maximum visual quality without dropping below playable frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. The Low preset averages 73.2 FPS, which is playable but not overwhelmingly smooth. Medium averages 48.5 FPS, dipping below the 60 FPS threshold. High averages 34.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 33.7 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is steep, and the difference between High and Ultra is minimal (34.5 vs 33.7). This indicates that 4K is only viable on the Low preset, and even then, the margin above 60 FPS is only 13.2 FPS. The data suggests that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at this resolution, as the CPU's high multi-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18760) is unlikely to bottleneck at these frame rates.

Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: Low and Medium presets offer the best headroom, while High and Ultra are only viable at 1440p and below. The 1080p Ultra result of 104.5 FPS is particularly strong, showing that the combo can handle the game's maximum settings without issue at standard HD. For users with 1440p monitors, the Ultra preset at 63.7 FPS is the sweet spot, as it provides the best visual quality while staying just above the playable threshold. At 4K, the only playable option is Low, which sacrifices visual fidelity for a playable 73.2 FPS average.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 9 270 scores 40246, 0.4% lower, and the Intel Core i9-13905H scores 40313, 0.6% lower. These deltas are all within 1% of the 7700's score, meaning that any of these CPUs would produce virtually identical frame rates in Pc Building Simulator. The 7700 sits in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, indicating it is a strong processor for this workload, but the rivals are essentially interchangeable in terms of raw performance.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B580 has an average benchmark score of 23021, placing it in the 68th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP, which scores 23061, a delta of -0.2% (meaning the RX 580 is 0.2% lower). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, which is 0.6% higher than the B580. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23172, 0.7% lower, and the NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, 1% lower. These deltas are all within 1% as well, so a system with any of these GPUs would deliver nearly the same FPS in this game. The RTX 2080 and RTX 3080 are older high-end cards, while the RX 580 2048SP and P106-100 are more modest parts, but the benchmark scores show they all cluster tightly around the B580's performance level.

In practical terms, if a user were to swap the Ryzen 7 7700 for an Intel Core i9-13905H or the Arc B580 for an RTX 2080, the measured FPS in Pc Building Simulator would change by less than 1% based on the average benchmark scores. This means the performance profile described in the Measured FPS Breakdown section is representative of a broad family of hardware combinations. The CPU's 87th percentile ranking and the GPU's 68th percentile ranking suggest that the GPU is the more likely bottleneck in this pairing, but the tight rival deltas indicate that no single alternative would dramatically alter the gaming experience.

The Verdict

The verdict data from the benchmark database is clear. At 3840x2160, the only playable setting (defined as averaging at least 60 FPS) is Low, which averages 73.2 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the 60 FPS threshold, with averages of 48.5, 34.5, and 33.7 respectively. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable: High averages 66.6 FPS, Low averages 133.9 FPS, Medium averages 98.8 FPS, and Ultra averages 63.7 FPS. The best settings at 1440p is Ultra, as it delivers the highest visual quality while still averaging above 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, all presets are also playable, with Low at 215.7 FPS, Medium at 153.5 FPS, High at 106.5 FPS, and Ultra at 104.5 FPS. The best settings at 1080p is Ultra, averaging 104.5 FPS.

In summary, this PC can run Pc Building Simulator at 60 FPS or above in the following scenarios: 1080p on any preset, 1440p on any preset, and 4K only on Low. The system is fully capable of delivering a smooth experience on high-refresh-rate 1080p monitors and standard 60 Hz 1440p monitors. For 4K users, the Low preset is the only viable option, and the 73.2 FPS average leaves little margin for demanding scenes. The data indicates that the game is not particularly demanding on the CPU, given the 7700's high benchmark scores, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. Users with 4K displays should consider lowering the resolution to 1440p or accepting the visual compromises of the Low preset.

How This Combo Ranks

In the overall ranking of tested hardware combinations for Pc Building Simulator, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and Intel Arc B580 ranks 2845th out of 3723 combos. This places it in the lower third of the field, which is somewhat surprising given the strong individual benchmark scores of both components. The CPU's 87th percentile and the GPU's 68th percentile would suggest a mid-pack placement, but the rank of 2845 indicates that many other combinations achieve higher average frame rates in this specific title. This could be due to the game's optimization favoring certain architectures or the fact that the measured FPS data is resolution-weighted across multiple settings.

The rank of 2845 out of 3723 means that roughly 76% of tested combos perform better, while about 24% perform worse. This is not a poor result, as the game is playable at 1080p and 1440p with all presets, but it does highlight that there are many faster configurations available. The tight clustering of the nearest rivals (all within 0.6% for the CPU and 1% for the GPU) suggests that the ranking is sensitive to small differences in benchmark scores, and a slightly faster GPU or CPU could move the combo up significantly. For context, the CPU's average benchmark score of 40081 and the GPU's score of 23021 combine to give a total that places it in this rank, but the game's performance is more dependent on the GPU than the CPU, as evidenced by the 4K results where the GPU's limitations are exposed.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the measured FPS data and the 60 FPS playable threshold, the best settings for each resolution are as follows. At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, which averages 73.2 FPS. Medium drops to 48.5 FPS, so it is not viable. At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, averaging 63.7 FPS. All lower presets also clear 60 FPS, but Ultra offers the best visual quality. At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, averaging 104.5 FPS. Again, all presets are viable, but Ultra is the highest quality option.

These recommendations are straightforward. For 4K users, the Low preset is the only choice, and the 73.2 FPS average provides a playable experience, though the visual quality will be noticeably reduced compared to higher presets. For 1440p users, the Ultra preset at 63.7 FPS is the best balance of quality and performance, and the small margin above 60 FPS means occasional dips might occur, but the average is solid. For 1080p users, the Ultra preset at 104.5 FPS is the clear winner, offering maximum visual fidelity with a frame rate that is well above the playable threshold and suitable for 100 Hz or 120 Hz displays. Users with higher refresh rate monitors could also consider the Medium preset at 153.5 FPS or the Low preset at 215.7 FPS for competitive play, but the Ultra preset is the recommended default for a balanced experience. The data shows that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K limited to low settings.
