FAQ
Q: What is the best settings preset for this game at 1920x1080 with this combo?
A: The database shows that every preset clears the playable threshold at this resolution. The best recorded result is Ultra settings, which holds an average of 91 FPS, while High, Medium, and Low all exceed 60 FPS as well.
Q: Can this system reach 60 FPS at 2560x1440?
A: Yes, but not on every preset. High, Medium, and Low settings all average above the 60 FPS threshold, with High delivering 61 FPS, Medium 86 FPS, and Low 121 FPS. Ultra settings fall short at 58 FPS average.
Q: How does the combo perform at 4K?
A: At 3840x2160, only the Low preset clears 60 FPS, averaging 63 FPS. Medium settings average 45 FPS, High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 30 FPS. The 4K resolution is restrictive for this hardware combination.
Q: What is the CPU percentile ranking compared to all processors?
A: The Intel Core i5-10400F sits in the 68th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 14185, placing it near the Intel Xeon 6756E and AMD EPYC 7552 in overall CPU performance.
Q: What is the GPU percentile ranking compared to all graphics cards?
A: The Intel Arc B570 sits in the 65th percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 20556, which places it within 0.5% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile and within 0.1% of the Intel Arc A750.
Q: What is the best overall settings preset for this system?
A: Based on verdict data, the best playable preset at 1920x1080 is Ultra with 91 FPS average. At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High at 61 FPS. At 3840x2160, the only playable preset is Low at 63 FPS.
CPU and GPU Roles
The balance between CPU and GPU shifts notably across resolutions in Pc Building Simulator. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 192 FPS on Low settings, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at high frame rates. The drop from Low to Medium reduces average FPS from 192 to 136, a 29% performance loss that indicates the GPU begins to take on more load as settings increase. At Ultra settings, the average falls to 91 FPS, still well above the playable threshold.
Moving to 2560x1440, the scaling pattern shows the GPU becoming the limiting factor. Low settings average 121 FPS, Medium drops to 86 FPS, and High falls to 61 FPS. The step from Medium to High costs 25 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs only 3 FPS, dropping to 58 FPS. This compressed scaling at the top end suggests the GPU is nearing its limits at this resolution, with the CPU still holding sufficient headroom.
At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. Low settings average 63 FPS, but Medium drops to 45 FPS, a 28% reduction. High settings fall to 32 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 30 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is much larger than the same gap at lower resolutions, confirming that pixel throughput becomes the primary bottleneck. The CPU, a 6-core 12-thread Comet Lake part with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, appears to keep up with the GPU even at 4K, as the frame rate collapse tracks with GPU workload rather than CPU workload.
The data indicates that at 1080p, both components contribute meaningfully, with the CPU able to drive very high frame rates on lighter presets. At 1440p, the GPU assumes the primary role, though the CPU still supports playable frame rates on most presets. At 4K, the GPU is the sole limiting factor, and the CPU has ample reserve capacity.
Measured FPS Breakdown
1920x1080: The recorded data shows strong performance across all presets. Low settings deliver an average of 192 FPS. Medium settings average 136 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 115 FPS and maximum of 156 FPS. High settings average 96 FPS. Ultra settings average 91 FPS. Every preset at this resolution clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by a comfortable margin.
2560x1440: Performance remains solid but begins to show the GPU's limits. Low settings average 121 FPS. Medium settings average 86 FPS, with a recorded range of 73 to 99 FPS. High settings average 61 FPS, just barely clearing the playable threshold. Ultra settings average 58 FPS, which falls short of the 60 FPS target. The Medium to High transition costs 25 FPS, while the High to Ultra transition costs only 3 FPS, indicating diminishing returns at the top end.
3840x2160: This resolution is demanding for the combo. Low settings average 63 FPS, narrowly clearing the threshold. Medium settings average 45 FPS, with a recorded range of 38 to 52 FPS. High settings average 32 FPS. Ultra settings average 30 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 18 FPS, and the drop from Medium to High is another 13 FPS. Only the Low preset maintains playable performance at 4K.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The Intel Core i5-10400F has an average benchmark score of 14185. Its nearest rival is the Intel Core 7 160UL, which scores 14232, a 0.3% advantage. The AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, 0.6% higher. On the lower side, the Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, 0.2% lower, and the AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, 0.5% lower. These four processors form a tight cluster, meaning any of them would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in this game. A user moving from the i5-10400F to any of these rivals would see no meaningful frame rate difference.
The Intel Arc B570 has an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rival is the Intel Arc A750, which scores 20582, just 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 0.1% lower. The AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, 0.5% higher, and the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, 0.4% lower. All five GPUs sit within 0.9% of each other. In practical terms, swapping the Arc B570 for any of these alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates at every resolution and preset. The Arc A750, in particular, is a direct comparison point, as it represents the previous generation of Intel discrete graphics.
How This Combo Ranks
The combination of the Intel Core i5-10400F and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2997 out of 3723 tested combos in the database for Pc Building Simulator. This places the combo in the lower portion of the field, around the 19th percentile of all tested systems. The rank reflects the GPU's 65th percentile standing and the CPU's 68th percentile standing, which together produce a system that handles 1080p and 1440p well but struggles at 4K on higher presets.
The ranking is broadly consistent with the component-level percentiles. A combo sitting at the 19th percentile of all tested systems suggests that many other configurations deliver higher frame rates in this game. However, the rank does not tell the full story, as the game's playability threshold of 60 FPS is met at multiple resolution and preset combinations. The system is not a top performer, but it is sufficient for the majority of playable scenarios.
The Verdict
This PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but the experience depends heavily on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on every preset. The best setting is Ultra, which averages 91 FPS, providing a high-quality experience with a comfortable frame rate margin.
At 2560x1440, the system is playable on High, Medium, and Low settings. High is the best playable preset, averaging 61 FPS, though it is close to the threshold. Medium offers more headroom at 86 FPS, and Low reaches 121 FPS. Ultra settings are not playable, averaging 58 FPS, just below the target.
At 3840x2160, only Low settings are playable, averaging 63 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the threshold, with averages of 45, 32, and 30 FPS respectively. For 4K play, users must accept the Low preset, which still provides a playable frame rate but with reduced visual quality.
The overall verdict is positive for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The system delivers playable performance across most settings at these resolutions. For 4K, the system is limited to the lowest settings preset, making it a marginal option for that resolution. Users targeting 1080p with Ultra settings will be satisfied, and those willing to run High settings at 1440p will also find the experience acceptable. The data shows a clear pattern: this combo is a 1080p workhorse and a 1440p contender, but only a 4K fallback.
