Pc Building Simulator

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS on average is Medium. The recorded average at Medium is 85.9 FPS, which provides a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. High at this resolution drops to 58.9 FPS, which falls just below the 60 FPS target, while Ultra sits at 56.1 FPS. Low reaches 120.6 FPS, but Medium is the highest quality option that keeps the frame rate above the threshold.

At 2560x1440, all four presets clear 60 FPS. The best settings are Ultra, delivering an average of 112.2 FPS. High reaches 118.3 FPS, Medium hits 163 FPS, and Low peaks at 233.2 FPS. Since every setting is playable, the recommendation is simply the highest visual quality preset, Ultra, which still leaves substantial headroom.

At 1920x1080, the same pattern holds: all presets are playable, and Ultra is the best choice. The average at Ultra is 172.7 FPS. High produces 183.9 FPS, Medium reaches 261 FPS, and Low tops out at 301.7 FPS. The frame rate at Ultra is nearly three times the playable threshold, indicating that the combination is far from stressed at this resolution.

The data shows a clear escalation in demand as resolution increases. At 1080p, even the heaviest preset runs well above 170 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra still runs above 110 FPS. At 4K, the ceiling drops to Medium if the 60 FPS rule is enforced strictly, though High at 58.9 FPS is extremely close to the line.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the workload shifts between the Intel Core i5-11400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extraordinarily high across all settings, which suggests that neither component is acting as a severe bottleneck. The spread from Low at 301.7 FPS to Ultra at 172.7 FPS indicates that graphics settings have a meaningful impact, but the absolute numbers are so high that the CPU is likely limiting the upper ceiling in lighter presets.

At 2560x1440, the pattern remains similar but with lower absolute values. Low drops from 301.7 FPS at 1080p to 233.2 FPS, a reduction of roughly 23%. Ultra drops from 172.7 FPS to 112.2 FPS, a reduction of about 35%. The larger percentage drop at Ultra suggests that the GPU begins to take on more responsibility as resolution and settings increase.

At 3840x2160, the shift is dramatic. Low falls to 120.6 FPS, Medium to 85.9 FPS, High to 58.9 FPS, and Ultra to 56.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is about 64 FPS, whereas at 1080p the same gap is about 129 FPS. The compression of frame rates at 4K indicates that the GPU is now the dominant factor. The RTX 4070's rendering load scales with pixel count, and the i5-11400F has enough headroom to keep up even at the highest settings.

In summary, at 1080p the CPU matters more, because the GPU can produce frame rates far beyond what the CPU can feed in the lightest presets. At 1440p, the balance shifts toward the GPU but remains moderate. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting component, as shown by the steep decline in frame rates as settings rise. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking in this simulation title, even at 4K Ultra where the GPU is working hardest.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-11400F, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD EPYC 7H12 with a score of 17120 and a delta of 0.3%, the Intel Core i5-12450H with a score of 17239 and a delta of -0.4%, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G with a score of 17278 and a delta of -0.6%, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U with a score of 17074 and a delta of 0.6%. All four processors sit within roughly one percent of the i5-11400F's average score of 17177. In a game like Pc Building Simulator, which relies on moderate thread counts, any of these CPUs would likely produce similar frame rates when paired with the same GPU.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P4 with a score of 37628 and a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 with a score of 37507 and a delta of 0.4%, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile with a score of 38135 and a delta of -1.3%, and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 with a score of 37157 and a delta of 1.3%. The RTX 4070's average score is 37648. These deltas are all within 1.3%, meaning the gaming experience at a given resolution and preset would be nearly indistinguishable. The RTX 4080 Mobile is the closest competitor on the higher side, while the Radeon PRO W6400 is the closest on the lower side.

Because the deltas are so small, any swap among these alternatives would keep the measured FPS values within a narrow band. The ranking data places this specific CPU and GPU combination at rank 994 out of 3723 tested combos, which is roughly in the top 27% of all tested configurations. Choosing a rival component from the nearest rivals list would not meaningfully change that standing.

The Verdict

The data indicates that this PC can run Pc Building Simulator comfortably at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440. At 1080p, all four presets are playable, with Ultra delivering 172.7 FPS. At 1440p, all four presets are also playable, with Ultra delivering 112.2 FPS. At 3840x2160, the verdict is conditional: Low and Medium are playable, with Medium at 85.9 FPS, but High at 58.9 FPS and Ultra at 56.1 FPS fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

The playable threshold in the database is 60 FPS, and the verdict by resolution confirms that 1440p Ultra and 1080p Ultra both clear it by wide margins. For users targeting 4K, the recommended ceiling is Medium. The frame rate at 4K Medium is still 43% above the threshold, so there is room for minor fluctuations without dropping below playable levels.

Overall, this combination is more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator at mainstream resolutions. The game is a simulation title with modest rendering demands, and the RTX 4070 paired with the i5-11400F produces high frame rates even at the most demanding settings tested. The only limitation appears at 4K with High or Ultra presets, where the GPU cannot quite sustain 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-11400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 994 out of 3723 tested combos in the database for Pc Building Simulator. That places it in the upper quartile of all tested configurations, roughly the top 27%. The CPU sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 81st percentile among all GPUs. The GPU is the stronger component in this pairing, and the ranking reflects that the overall system is well above average for this game.

Given that the game is a simulation with relatively low graphical demands, the high ranking makes sense. Many combos with weaker GPUs would still run this title well, but the RTX 4070 pushes frame rates to very high levels at 1080p and 1440p. The rank of 994 indicates that a substantial number of tested combos (roughly 2729) fall below this configuration, while 993 rank above it. The gap between this combo and the top of the list is driven primarily by GPUs with higher average benchmark scores, since the CPU is not a limiting factor in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database provides average FPS values for 12 distinct resolution and settings combinations. No minimum or maximum values are recorded for any of these configurations, so the analysis relies on average frame rates.

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 120.6 FPS average
• Medium: 85.9 FPS average
• High: 58.9 FPS average
• Ultra: 56.1 FPS average

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 233.2 FPS average
• Medium: 163 FPS average
• High: 118.3 FPS average
• Ultra: 112.2 FPS average

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 301.7 FPS average
• Medium: 261 FPS average
• High: 183.9 FPS average
• Ultra: 172.7 FPS average

The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: Low is always the fastest, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. The relative gap between Low and Ultra narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, the spread is 129 FPS. At 1440p, the spread is 121 FPS. At 4K, the spread is 64.5 FPS. This narrowing confirms that the GPU becomes the primary constraint at higher resolutions, while at lower resolutions the CPU and rendering overhead allow larger gaps between presets.

The 4K data is notable for the small difference between High and Ultra, only 2.8 FPS. This suggests that the Ultra preset adds little additional cost over High at 4K, but both remain below the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, the difference between High and Ultra is 6.1 FPS, again a modest gap. At 1080p, the difference is 11.2 FPS. These small gaps indicate that the Ultra preset is not dramatically more expensive than High in this title, and the main cost comes from moving between Low, Medium, and High.

For users seeking the highest frame rates, 1080p Low at 301.7 FPS is the maximum recorded value in the dataset. For users prioritizing visual quality, 4K Medium at 85.9 FPS is the highest quality option that remains above the playable threshold. The database's verdict by resolution aligns with these measurements, confirming that Medium is the best 4K setting, Ultra is the best 1440p setting, and Ultra is the best 1080p setting.
