Pc Building Simulator

Best Settings per Resolution

The recorded data for Pc Building Simulator shows a clear pattern: this combo of Intel Core i5-14600KF and Intel Arc B370 can clear the 60 FPS threshold only at lower resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, none of the four tested settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) reaches 60 FPS, so the database records no playable setting at that resolution. The highest average at 4K is 37 FPS on Low, which falls well short of the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly. The Low preset delivers an average of 71 FPS, which is the only setting at this resolution that clears 60 FPS. Medium averages 50 FPS, High drops to 36 FPS, and Ultra sits at 34 FPS. The best playable setting at 1440p is therefore Low, with that 71 FPS average.

At 1920x1080, the combo has more headroom. Low averages 113 FPS, Medium averages 80 FPS, and both clear the 60 FPS threshold. High averages 56 FPS, which is just below playable, and Ultra averages 54 FPS. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at 1080p is Medium, delivering an 80 FPS average. That is the definitive answer for the best settings per resolution: Medium at 1080p (80 FPS), Low at 1440p (71 FPS), and no playable setting at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-14600KF plus Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 3,436 out of 3,723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. That places it in the bottom 8% of all configurations recorded in the database for this game. The rank is heavily influenced by the GPU side: the Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database, meaning roughly 95% of recorded graphics cards outperform it in the single benchmark test available (3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, score 1184).

The CPU, by contrast, performs far better relative to its peers. The Core i5-14600KF sits at the 90th percentile among all CPUs, with a strong average benchmark score of 49,394. Its nearest rivals in CPU benchmark terms are the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (49,228, only 0.3% lower), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G (49,196, 0.4% lower), the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 (48,995, 0.8% lower), and the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 (49,796, 0.8% higher). These are all extremely close scores, indicating that the i5-14600KF is a solid mid-to-high-end processor.

The discrepancy between CPU percentile (90th) and GPU percentile (5th) explains the overall combo rank. Pc Building Simulator, as a simulation title, does depend on CPU performance for logic and physics calculations, but the GPU still determines the frame rate at higher resolutions. The data shows that the Arc B370, despite its modern architecture (Xe3-LPG, 3 nm process, DirectX 12 Ultimate support), simply lacks the raw throughput needed for demanding settings. The combo's rank of 3,436 out of 3,723 reflects that the CPU is overqualified relative to the GPU bottleneck.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for each component provides context for what other hardware would behave similarly. On the CPU side, the Core i5-14600KF's average benchmark score of 49,394 is bracketed by four processors within a 1.6% window. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (49,228) and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G (49,196) are essentially tied with the Intel chip, differing by only 0.3% and 0.4% respectively. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 (48,995) is 0.8% slower, and the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 (49,796) is 0.8% faster. In practical terms, swapping the i5-14600KF for any of these would produce nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Pc Building Simulator.

On the GPU side, the Arc B370's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 places it among older discrete and mobile graphics solutions. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186) and ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190) are within 0.5% of the Arc B370's score. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192) is 0.7% faster, and the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168) is 1.4% slower. These deltas are so small that any of these GPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in this game. The practical implication is that the Arc B370 performs at the level of a late-2000s or early-2010s entry-level GPU, despite being a much newer product. Users coming from any of those older cards would see little change in Pc Building Simulator performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database records 12 distinct FPS measurements for this combo, covering three resolutions and four settings. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 113 FPS, the highest recorded value for this configuration. Medium averages 80 FPS with a minimum of 68 FPS and a maximum of 92 FPS. High averages 56 FPS, and Ultra averages 54 FPS. The minimum and maximum values are only recorded for the Medium preset at each resolution, so the data does not provide min/max ranges for Low, High, or Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the averages drop substantially. Low averages 71 FPS, which is the only 1440p result above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 50 FPS, with a recorded range of 43 FPS minimum to 58 FPS maximum. High averages 36 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent penalty: Low drops from 113 to 71 FPS (a 37% reduction), Medium drops from 80 to 50 FPS (a 38% reduction), High drops from 56 to 36 FPS (a 36% reduction), and Ultra drops from 54 to 34 FPS (a 37% reduction). The nearly uniform percentage drops across presets suggest a resolution-bound GPU limit rather than a CPU constraint.

At 3840x2160, the performance collapses further. Low averages 37 FPS, Medium averages 26 FPS (range 22 to 30), High averages 19 FPS, and Ultra averages 18 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 4K imposes another large penalty: Low drops from 71 to 37 FPS (48% reduction), Medium from 50 to 26 FPS (48% reduction), High from 36 to 19 FPS (47% reduction), and Ultra from 34 to 18 FPS (47% reduction). The consistency of these percentages across all presets and both resolution transitions indicates that the Arc B370 is the limiting factor, and its performance scales almost linearly with pixel count.

The Verdict

The verdict from the database is straightforward: this PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but only at lower resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, both Low (113 FPS) and Medium (80 FPS) clear the 60 FPS playable threshold. High (56 FPS) and Ultra (54 FPS) fall short. At 2560x1440, only Low (71 FPS) is playable; Medium (50 FPS), High (36 FPS), and Ultra (34 FPS) all miss the mark. At 3840x2160, no setting is playable, with the best result being Low at 37 FPS.

The recommended configuration is Medium at 1080p, which delivers 80 FPS and represents the best balance of visual quality and performance. For users who want 1440p, Low is the only option, and the 71 FPS average is just above the threshold. The data shows no viable 4K path: even the lowest settings cannot reach half the required frame rate. The verdict is therefore conditional: the system is playable at 1080p Medium and 1440p Low, but it is not a high-refresh or high-resolution machine for this title.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU in Pc Building Simulator. The Core i5-14600KF is a high-end processor, sitting at the 90th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals all score within 0.8% of its average benchmark score, and it posts strong results in Cinebench R23 multi-core (32,544) and Geekbench multi-core (17,085). This CPU has ample headroom for simulation logic, which typically involves physics calculations, part interactions, and system state tracking.

The Arc B370, however, is the bottleneck. At the 5th percentile among all GPUs, it is one of the weakest graphics solutions in the database. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 places it alongside GPUs from over a decade ago. The FPS scaling confirms this: the percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is nearly identical across all presets (36-38%), and the drop from 1440p to 4K is also uniform (47-48%). When a game is CPU-bound, raising resolution typically has a smaller effect on FPS because the CPU work per frame does not increase with pixel count. Here, the linear scaling with resolution indicates that the GPU is fully saturated and each additional pixel directly reduces frame rate.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent when comparing presets at a fixed resolution. At 1080p, going from Low (113 FPS) to Ultra (54 FPS) cuts performance by more than half. At 4K, the same preset change goes from 37 to 18 FPS, also roughly half. The consistent ratio between Low and Ultra at every resolution suggests that the game's graphics settings scale the GPU workload proportionally, and the CPU can keep up at all settings. If the CPU were struggling, the higher presets would show a disproportionate FPS collapse due to increased CPU-side work.

The practical conclusion is that for this game, the GPU dictates the playable experience at every resolution. The i5-14600KF is more than sufficient; upgrading the CPU would yield no measurable benefit in Pc Building Simulator because the Arc B370 cannot push frames fast enough to stress the processor. The inverse is not true: upgrading the GPU alone would likely produce dramatic improvements, since the CPU has demonstrated it can deliver over 113 FPS at 1080p Low without breaking a sweat. The data points to the GPU as the sole limiting factor in this configuration.
