CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Pc Building Simulator reveals a clear division of labor between the Intel Core i5-12400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, with the GPU taking on the dominant role as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the system produces an average of 177.7 FPS on Ultra settings, which rises to 352.1 FPS on Low settings. This massive spread of 174.4 FPS between presets indicates that the GPU's rendering workload is the primary variable, while the CPU easily keeps up with the game's simulation logic. Moving to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset delivers 112.8 FPS, a 36% reduction from 1080p Ultra, while the Low preset hits 228.4 FPS. The scaling continues at 3840x2160, where Ultra averages 60.5 FPS and Low reaches 120.6 FPS. The consistent pattern across all three resolutions is that the frame rate drops proportionally with pixel count, which is a classic sign of GPU-bound performance. The CPU's capabilities, including a Passmark single-thread score of 3481 and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12380, are far above what a simulation game like this requires, especially given that the game is from 2019 and does not utilize many threads. At 4K Ultra, the system just barely clears the 60 FPS threshold at 60.5 FPS, confirming that the RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are being fully utilized, while the i5-12400F has ample headroom. The GPU's 81st percentile ranking versus the CPU's 73rd percentile further supports that the graphics card is the more influential component in this pairing for this specific title.

The Verdict

For gamers who prioritize frame rate over visuals, the Low preset at 4K produces 120.6 FPS, which is an outstanding result. The best settings per resolution are Ultra at all three resolutions, as the data indicates that this preset remains at or above 60 FPS in every case. The combination of the i5-12400F's strong single-thread performance and the RTX 4070's raw graphics power creates a system that not only meets but vastly exceeds the requirements of Pc Building Simulator, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to play this title with maximum settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rate data provides a comprehensive view of performance across all resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates: the Low preset averages 352.1 FPS, which is exceptionally high; Medium averages 263 FPS; High averages 180.5 FPS; and Ultra averages 177.7 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is minimal at just 2.8 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional effects are not heavily taxing the GPU. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down predictably: Low averages 228.4 FPS, Medium averages 164.7 FPS, High averages 118.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 112.8 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra narrows further to 5.4 FPS, indicating that the GPU is still comfortably handling the load. At 3840x2160, performance becomes more constrained: Low averages 120.6 FPS, Medium averages 84.9 FPS, High averages 62.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 60.5 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that comes close to the 60 FPS threshold, with just a 0.5 FPS margin of safety. Notably, the performance drop from High to Ultra is consistent across all resolutions, averaging around 3-5%, while the jump from Medium to High is more significant, averaging about 30-40%. This data suggests that the Ultra preset is only marginally more demanding than High, making it a worthwhile choice for most users. The lack of min and max FPS data means that only average frame rates are available, but these averages indicate a stable and smooth experience across the board.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the best settings preset is defined as the most demanding option that maintains an average frame rate at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear winner, delivering an average of 177.7 FPS. This is more than enough for any monitor, including 144Hz or even 240Hz displays, and it provides the highest visual quality available in the game. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again takes the top spot, with an average of 112.8 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold and offers a buttery-smooth experience on high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors. The High preset at 118.2 FPS is only 5.4 FPS faster, so there is no practical reason to sacrifice visual quality. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is still the best choice, averaging 60.5 FPS. This just clears the playable threshold, but it does so consistently, making 4K Ultra a viable option for this game. If a user prefers a higher frame rate buffer at 4K, the High preset provides 62.5 FPS, but the difference is negligible. The data shows that this system is so powerful relative to the game's demands that the most visually impressive settings are always the recommended choice, regardless of resolution. The only caveat is that at 4K Ultra, the system is operating at its limit, so users who want more headroom might opt for High, but the measured performance indicates that Ultra is fully playable.
