Pc Building Simulator

The Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination delivers a performance profile that is well-suited for Pc Building Simulator, though the data reveals distinct scaling behavior across resolutions and settings. At 1080p, the CPU becomes the limiting factor in the most demanding presets, while at 4K, the GPU’s workload dominates, resulting in a narrow band of playable settings. The measured results show that this combo is far more capable at lower resolutions, with average frame rates exceeding 170 FPS at 1080p Ultra, but it falls just short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K High and Ultra, landing at 58.1 FPS and 58.5 FPS respectively. This analysis walks through the benchmark data step by step, focusing on how the hardware behaves in this specific simulation title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, provide a useful reference for understanding its positioning. The Intel Core i5-13400F scores 25,292 on average, which is virtually identical to the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (25,284, deltaPct 0). The Intel Core 5 120 (25,362, deltaPct -0.3%) and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25,365, deltaPct -0.3%) are also within a fraction of a percent, meaning any of these processors would likely produce similar frame rates in Pc Building Simulator. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (25,201, deltaPct 0.4%) trails slightly but remains effectively in the same performance tier. For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070’s average score of 37,648 places it near the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37,628, deltaPct 0.1%) and the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37,507, deltaPct 0.4%). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38,135, deltaPct -1.3%) is marginally faster, while the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (37,157, deltaPct 1.3%) is slightly slower. In practice, swapping the RTX 4070 for any of these comparable GPUs would yield similar FPS figures, assuming the CPU remains constant. The data indicates that this pairing sits in a sweet spot where neither component drastically bottlenecks the other, except at extreme resolutions and presets where the GPU’s limits become apparent.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Core i5-13400F and the RTX 4070 shifts significantly depending on the resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the CPU’s role is more prominent, especially at lower settings. The jump from Low (365.9 FPS) to Ultra (173.2 FPS) shows a 52.7% drop in average frame rate, which suggests that the GPU is still handling the increased graphical load, but the CPU’s 10 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to feed it at these high frame rates. However, the data shows that the RTX 4070 is not the bottleneck at 1080p; the frame rates are so high that the CPU’s single-thread performance becomes the ceiling. At 2560x1440, the scaling is more linear: Low (229.1 FPS), Medium (164.2 FPS), High (115.8 FPS), and Ultra (111.2 FPS). The gap between High and Ultra is only 4.6 FPS, indicating that the GPU is starting to saturate at this resolution, but the CPU still has headroom. At 3840x2160, the GPU clearly dominates. The difference between Low (119.7 FPS) and Medium (85.8 FPS) is 33.9 FPS, while High (58.1 FPS) and Ultra (58.5 FPS) are nearly identical, differing by just 0.4 FPS. This plateau at 4K High and Ultra demonstrates that the RTX 4070’s compute and memory bandwidth (504.2 GB/s) are the limiting factors, not the CPU. The verdict is straightforward: at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU plays a larger role in maintaining high frame rates, but at 4K, the GPU’s raw throughput determines playability.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all three resolutions and four presets. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 365.9 FPS on Low, 259.1 FPS on Medium, 184.2 FPS on High, and 173.2 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate that the system is vastly overqualified for 1080p gaming, with even the most demanding preset nearly tripling the 60 FPS threshold. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high: Low produces 229.1 FPS, Medium 164.2 FPS, High 115.8 FPS, and Ultra 111.2 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is 48.4 FPS, which is the largest single-step decline at this resolution, while the High-to-Ultra transition costs only 4.6 FPS. At 3840x2160, the data reveals a steeper curve: Low runs at 119.7 FPS, Medium at 85.8 FPS, High at 58.1 FPS, and Ultra at 58.5 FPS. Notably, Ultra is actually 0.4 FPS faster than High at 4K, which is within measurement variance but suggests that the preset difference has negligible impact at this resolution. The minimum and maximum FPS values are not provided in the data, so the average figures are the sole basis for analysis. Across all settings, the trend is clear: the system scales efficiently from 1080p to 1440p, but 4K pushes the GPU to its limits, with the difference between Low and Ultra being 61.2 FPS.

The Verdict

Based on the verdictByResolution data, this PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but the playable settings vary sharply by resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clear the 60 FPS threshold, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 173.2 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same is true: every preset is playable, and Ultra achieves 111.2 FPS, which is well above the playable threshold. The situation changes at 3840x2160, where only Low (119.7 FPS) and Medium (85.8 FPS) are playable. High (58.1 FPS) and Ultra (58.5 FPS) both fall below 60 FPS, making them borderline unplayable by the defined standard. The best playable setting at 4K is Medium, which provides a comfortable margin above the threshold. In summary, this combo is fully capable of running the game at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, and at 4K, it requires dropping to Medium to maintain smooth gameplay. The data does not include min or max FPS values, so stutter or frame-time consistency cannot be assessed, but the averages suggest a stable experience at the recommended settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 881st out of 3,723 tested combinations in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 23.7% of all systems. This percentile ranking reflects the hardware’s overall capability, though the game’s simulation genre is not particularly demanding compared to AAA titles. The rank is driven by the combination of the Core i5-13400F’s strong multi-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,604) and the RTX 4070’s solid 1440p and 1080p results. The CPU’s percentile of 77 among all processors and the GPU’s percentile of 81 among all GPUs indicate that both components are above average, but neither is top-tier. In the context of this game, the 881st rank suggests that many other combos—likely those with higher-end GPUs like the RTX 4080 or RTX 4090—will outperform it at 4K, but for 1080p and 1440p gaming, this pairing is more than sufficient. The data shows that the combo’s ranking is a function of its 4K limitations, as the 1080p and 1440p scores are exceptional relative to the field.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS varies by resolution. At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which delivers an average of 173.2 FPS. This is the highest preset available and provides a massive margin over the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best settings, with an average of 111.2 FPS, maintaining smooth gameplay with plenty of headroom. At 3840x2160, the best settings are Medium, which achieves 85.8 FPS. This is the only preset above the playable threshold at 4K, as High (58.1 FPS) and Ultra (58.5 FPS) both fall below 60 FPS. The data shows that for this game, the optimal configuration is to run at 1080p or 1440p with Ultra settings, or to drop to Medium at 4K to keep the experience smooth.
