Pc Building Simulator

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a decisive performance profile for Pc Building Simulator, clearing the 60 FPS threshold at every tested resolution with the right settings. At 4K, the combo is constrained by the GPU, while at 1080p it becomes heavily CPU-bound, producing frame rates that exceed 300 FPS on Low settings. The data indicates this is a highly capable pairing for this simulation title, with the RTX 3070 providing ample headroom and the i3-12100F proving sufficient even at lower resolutions where CPU load dominates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates reveal a clear pattern of scaling across the three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest performance: Low settings produce an average of 302.1 FPS, which is the peak measured value in the entire dataset. Medium settings achieve 212.9 FPS, High settings drop to 149.9 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 145.4 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is small, only 4.5 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns from the highest preset at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a more pronounced drop as settings increase. Low settings average 190 FPS, which is 112.1 FPS lower than at 1080p. Medium settings produce 135.5 FPS, High settings reach 97.5 FPS, and Ultra settings maintain 91.2 FPS. The difference between Medium and High at 1440p is 38 FPS, a larger relative step than seen at 1080p. This indicates that the GPU is beginning to take on more responsibility at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance profile changes character significantly. Low settings still deliver a playable 99.4 FPS average, but Medium drops to 74.2 FPS. High settings fall below the 60 FPS threshold to 50.9 FPS, and Ultra settings dip further to 49 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium at 4K is a 25.2 FPS reduction, while the step from Medium to High is 23.3 FPS. These figures show that 4K High and Ultra presets are not viable for maintaining 60 FPS with this hardware, while Low and Medium remain comfortably playable.

The data shows no min or max FPS values, so the analysis relies entirely on averages. The measured averages are stable across the board, with no anomalous spikes or drops that would suggest stuttering at any resolution or preset.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is identified from the measured data. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is playable, delivering an average of 145.4 FPS. This is the maximum quality setting available, and it clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. All four presets at 1080p are playable, with Low at 302.1 FPS, Medium at 212.9 FPS, and High at 149.9 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also remains playable, with an average of 91.2 FPS. This is 31.2 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, providing comfortable headroom for demanding scenes. The other presets at this resolution are also playable: Low at 190 FPS, Medium at 135.5 FPS, and High at 97.5 FPS. Ultra is the best choice here because it offers the highest visual quality while still maintaining a frame rate well above the minimum.

At 3840x2160, the best playable preset is Medium, which averages 74.2 FPS. This is 14.2 FPS above the threshold, leaving some margin for fluctuations. Low settings are also playable at 99.4 FPS, but Medium provides better visual fidelity without sacrificing the 60 FPS requirement. High and Ultra presets fall short, with averages of 50.9 FPS and 49 FPS respectively, so they are not recommended for 4K play.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data provides context for components that would behave similarly in this game. For the CPU, the Intel Core i3-12100F has an avgBenchmarkScore of 13494, and its closest rivals are all within a narrow band.

The deltaPct values are all small, so the measured FPS differences would be marginal, likely within the range of a few frames per second at most settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Intel Core i3-12100F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 shifts noticeably across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the CPU is the primary driver of performance, as evidenced by the massive FPS figures. The jump from Low at 302.1 FPS to Ultra at 145.4 FPS is a 156.7 FPS reduction, but even the lowest result at this resolution is far above what the GPU alone would limit. The i3-12100F's single-thread strength, reflected in its 3dmark_single_thread score of 893 and passmark_single_thread score of 3444, allows it to feed the GPU effectively at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the balance begins to tilt toward the GPU. The average FPS drops by roughly 40% across all presets compared to 1080p, with Low falling from 302.1 to 190 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor, as the pixel workload increases. The RTX 3070's 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 20.31 TFLOPS FP32 throughput become more relevant here, allowing it to maintain high frame rates but not at the extreme levels seen at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. The frame rates drop to 99.4 FPS on Low and 49 FPS on Ultra, a pattern that aligns with the GPU's raw compute limits rather than CPU capabilities. The i3-12100F's multi-threaded performance, with a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 11860, is more than sufficient to handle the game's simulation logic at 4K, but the GPU cannot render the higher resolution at demanding settings. The data shows that the CPU matters less as resolution increases, while the GPU's role becomes decisive for maintaining playable frame rates.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Pc Building Simulator, and it does so with significant headroom at most settings. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with the Ultra preset averaging 145.4 FPS, which is 85.4 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, all presets also clear 60 FPS, with Ultra at 91.2 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium settings are playable, with Medium being the best choice at 74.2 FPS.

The verdictByResolution data confirms this assessment. For 1920x1080, the playableSettings list includes High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with the bestSettings being Ultra at 145.4 FPS. For 2560x1440, the same four presets are playable, with Ultra at 91.2 FPS as the best. For 3840x2160, the playableSettings are limited to Low and Medium, with Medium at 74.2 FPS being the optimal choice.

Users who prioritize 4K gaming should stick to Medium settings or lower to stay above 60 FPS. Those playing at 1440p or 1080p can max out the Ultra preset without concern, as the hardware provides ample performance. The RTX 3070's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory is sufficient for this title's demands, and the i3-12100F's 4 cores and 8 threads handle the simulation workload effectively. The verdict is clear: this is a recommended combination for Pc Building Simulator, with the only caveat being 4K High and Ultra presets falling short of the 60 FPS mark.
