Pc Building Simulator

This combo, an Intel Core i3-12100F paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, demonstrates a substantial performance ceiling for Pc Building Simulator. The data places this pairing at rank 929 out of 3723 tested combinations, placing it comfortably within the upper quartile of all systems. This ranking, combined with the measured frame rates, suggests that the configuration is far more capable than the game's simulation genre typically demands, offering headroom for high refresh rate displays and maximum graphical fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame of 929 out of 3723 combos places this system in the top 25% of all tested configurations for Pc Building Simulator. This is a strong position, indicating that the hardware pairing is well above the median system tested for this title. The percentile rankings of the individual components support this: the CPU sits at the 68th percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 81st percentile against all GPUs. This suggests that the graphics card is the more dominant component in this pairing, a factor that becomes particularly relevant at higher resolutions where GPU load increases.

The data implies that this system is not just barely crossing the playable threshold, but rather it is built to obliterate it. With a playableThresholdFps of 60, the measured average frame rates at 1080p and 1440p are multiple times higher than this baseline. Even at 4K, the system manages to keep the average frame rate essentially at the threshold with High settings. This rank, therefore, signifies a system that will not struggle with this game's workload, providing a smooth and responsive experience across a wide range of settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

The measured data reveals a clear hierarchy of playable settings for each resolution, all based on maintaining an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, achieving an average of 61 FPS. While Ultra settings dip to 58 FPS on average, High is the optimal choice for a consistent 60+ FPS experience. Medium settings provide a more comfortable margin with an average of 86 FPS, and Low jumps to 121 FPS.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the system has enough headroom to run the most demanding preset, Ultra, at an average of 110 FPS. This is the best settings choice as it fully utilizes the hardware without any concern for dropping below the playable threshold. All other settings—High, Medium, and Low—also clear 60 FPS easily, with averages of 116, 164, and 232 FPS respectively.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the story is similar to 1440p. The best settings are Ultra, which delivers an impressive average of 175 FPS. This indicates the game is heavily GPU-bound at this resolution, but the RTX 4070 has ample power to spare. The lower presets yield extreme frame rates, with Low settings reaching 346 FPS on average, showcasing the system's ability to support very high refresh rate monitors.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate a shifting balance between CPU and GPU influence depending on the resolution. At 1080p, the system is likely more CPU-bound, as the GPU can render frames so quickly that the processor becomes the limiting factor. This is evident in the scaling from 1080p to 1440p, where the average FPS at Ultra drops from 175 to 110, a significant 37% decrease. This large drop suggests that the GPU is starting to become more of a bottleneck as the pixel count increases.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is less severe but still substantial. At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 110 to 58, a 47% reduction. This continued steep decline at 4K reinforces the idea that the GPU is the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions. The CPU, an Intel Core i3-12100F with 4 cores and 8 threads, appears to be sufficient to feed the GPU at 1080p and 1440p, but the RTX 4070's workload becomes the dominant factor as resolution increases.

The data shows that the RTX 4070 is the star of this show for Pc Building Simulator. While the i3-12100F is a capable processor, its role is to keep up with the GPU. At 4K Ultra, the system falls just short of the 60 FPS target, indicating that the GPU's limits are being reached. The CPU is not the primary constraint at this resolution; rather, it is the raw pixel-pushing power of the graphics card that dictates the final frame rate.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Intel Core i3-12100F has an average benchmark score of 13494. Its nearest rivals, based on the data, include the Intel Core 3 N355 with an avgScore of 13492 (a 0% difference) and the Intel Core i5-9500 with an avgScore of 13452 (a 0.3% difference). This indicates that a system with either of these processors would perform nearly identically to the i3-12100F in this game, as their overall processing power is within a negligible margin. The Intel Core 5 120UL (avgScore 13594) is slightly faster by 0.7%, while the Intel Core i7-1250U (avgScore 13351) is slightly slower by 1.1%.
