Pc Building Simulator

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this system each sit within a tightly clustered group of comparable hardware, according to the database's aggregate benchmark scores. For the Intel Core i5-11400F, the nearest rival is the AMD EPYC 7H12, which scores just 0.3% higher on average. The Intel Core i5-12450H trails by 0.4%, while the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G sits 0.6% behind. The Intel Core Ultra 7 164U is 0.6% ahead. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, meaning any of these processors would deliver nearly indistinguishable performance in most threaded workloads. The i5-11400F's 71st percentile ranking among all tested CPUs reinforces that this is a solidly mid-tier part, not a standout but far from a bottleneck in typical gaming scenarios.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570's nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which matches it within 0.1%. The Intel Arc A750 is essentially a dead heat, trailing by only 0.1%. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and AMD Radeon R9 M390X are also close, with the former 0.4% ahead and the latter 0.5% behind. The Arc B570's 65th percentile among all GPUs places it slightly below the CPU's relative standing, but the practical difference is minimal. For Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that is not typically known for extreme graphical demands, both the CPU and GPU alternatives would behave almost identically to this pairing. Users coming from an Arc A750 or an RTX 3070 Mobile-equipped laptop would see very similar frame rates, assuming the rest of the system keeps pace.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded measurements for Pc Building Simulator reveal a pattern that shifts with resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the game is clearly not GPU-bound at lower settings: Low runs at 192 FPS average, Medium at 136 FPS, High at 96 FPS, and Ultra at 91 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is roughly 101 FPS, which indicates that the GPU is doing meaningful work as settings climb. However, even at Ultra, the frame rate stays above 90 FPS, so the CPU is not the limiting factor at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the scaling changes character. Low still manages 121 FPS, but Medium drops to 86 FPS, High to 61 FPS, and Ultra to 58 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 63 FPS, and the gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 3 FPS. This suggests the GPU is becoming the primary constraint as pixel count rises, though the CPU still has enough headroom to push well past 60 FPS at the medium preset.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes dominant. Low runs at 63 FPS, but Medium falls to 45 FPS, and High drops to 32 FPS. Ultra bottoms out at 30 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 33 FPS, and the curve is steep and consistent. At 4K, the Arc B570 is clearly the deciding factor; the i5-11400F has ample compute power for this simulation, but the GPU cannot keep up with the higher pixel workloads. The data implies that for 1080p and 1440p gaming, the CPU and GPU are reasonably balanced, but at 4K, the GPU is the sole determinant of playability.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Pc Building Simulator at 60 FPS on a 4K display?

A: Only at Low settings. The measured average at 3840x2160 Low is 63 FPS, while Medium drops to 45 FPS, High to 32 FPS, and Ultra to 30 FPS.

Q: What is the best preset at 1440p that stays above 60 FPS?

A: High settings at 2560x1440 produce an average of 61 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium runs at 86 FPS, and Low at 121 FPS, but High is the most demanding playable option.

Q: Is Ultra settings possible at any resolution?

A: Yes, at 1920x1080. Ultra runs at an average of 91 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold comfortably. At 1440p, Ultra averages 58 FPS, just below the threshold, and at 4K, Ultra averages 30 FPS.

Q: How much performance is lost when going from 1080p to 4K at High settings?

A: The average frame rate drops from 96 FPS at 1920x1080 High to 61 FPS at 2560x1440 High, then to 32 FPS at 3840x2160 High. The 4K figure is one-third of the 1080p result.

Q: Does the CPU hold back the GPU in this game?

A: The data does not suggest a CPU bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 192 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra it maintains 91 FPS. The frame rate scaling across resolutions points to the GPU as the limiting factor, especially at 4K.

Q: What are the minimum and maximum frame rates recorded?

A: The database only recorded min/max values for Medium settings. At 1080p Medium, the range is 115 to 156 FPS. At 1440p Medium, it is 73 to 99 FPS. At 4K Medium, it is 38 to 52 FPS.

The Verdict

This PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but the playable experience depends heavily on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold: Low averages 192 FPS, Medium 136 FPS, High 96 FPS, and Ultra 91 FPS. This is a fully smooth experience at any setting. At 2560x1440, the system keeps High at 61 FPS average, which is playable, and Medium and Low run even faster at 86 FPS and 121 FPS respectively. Ultra at 1440p falls short at 58 FPS average, so it is not recommended for a locked 60 FPS experience. At 3840x2160, only Low is playable, with a 63 FPS average. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the threshold, with averages of 45, 32, and 30 FPS respectively. The verdict is clear: this is a 1080p and 1440p machine for this game, with 4K limited to the lowest preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded averages are 63 FPS on Low, 45 FPS on Medium, 32 FPS on High, and 30 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset also logged a minimum of 38 FPS and a maximum of 52 FPS, indicating some fluctuation but no catastrophic dips. The other presets at this resolution did not have min/max values recorded.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 121 FPS, Medium 86 FPS, High 61 FPS, and Ultra 58 FPS. Medium shows a min/max range of 73 to 99 FPS. The step from High to Ultra is only 3 FPS, which suggests diminishing returns at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the system hits 192 FPS on Low, 136 FPS on Medium, 96 FPS on High, and 91 FPS on Ultra. Medium has the only recorded min/max at 115 to 156 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is just 5 FPS, making Ultra the obvious choice for 1080p users who want the best visuals without sacrificing smoothness.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this CPU and GPU combination at rank 2997 out of 3723 tested combos for Pc Building Simulator. That puts it in the lower-mid range of all tested systems, which is surprising given the strong 1080p results. The rank reflects the full spectrum of hardware tested, including far more powerful CPUs and GPUs that dominate the upper tiers. For a mainstream pairing like the i5-11400F and Arc B570, the rank is not flattering, but the actual gameplay data tells a more nuanced story. At 1080p, this combo outperforms many higher-ranked systems because the game is not particularly demanding at that resolution. At 4K, the rank is more justified, as the GPU struggles to maintain playable frame rates beyond Low settings. The rank is a useful summary, but the measured FPS breakdown provides the real picture: this is a capable 1080p machine with acceptable 1440p performance and limited 4K capability.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 63 FPS. Medium falls to 45 FPS, so Low is the only viable option for 4K.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, averaging 61 FPS. Ultra misses the threshold at 58 FPS, so High is the ceiling for a smooth experience at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Ultra, averaging 91 FPS. All presets clear 60 FPS at 1080p, but Ultra offers the highest visual quality while still maintaining well over 90 FPS. Users who prioritize maximum smoothness can drop to Low for 192 FPS, but there is no reason to sacrifice visuals given the headroom.
