Pc Building Simulator

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured data shows a clear progression across presets. Low settings produce an average of 125 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure for this combination. Medium settings deliver 88 FPS on average, with a minimum of 75 FPS and a maximum of 102 FPS. High settings drop to 62 FPS on average, while Ultra settings fall slightly below the 60 FPS playable threshold at 59 FPS average. The minimum and maximum values for Low, High, and Ultra presets were not recorded in the database, but the Medium preset shows a narrow band of 75 to 102 FPS, indicating stable frame pacing.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down noticeably. Low settings still clear the playable threshold comfortably with an average of 79 FPS. Medium settings average 56 FPS, with a minimum of 47 FPS and a maximum of 64 FPS, meaning the preset dips below 60 FPS during demanding scenes. High settings average 39 FPS, and Ultra settings average 38 FPS. Neither High nor Ultra at this resolution reaches the 60 FPS target, and the data indicates that only Low settings remain consistently playable.

At 3840x2160, the combination struggles across all presets. Low settings produce the best result at 41 FPS average, but that still falls well short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 29 FPS, with a minimum of 25 FPS and a maximum of 34 FPS. High settings average 21 FPS, and Ultra settings average 20 FPS. The recorded data shows that no preset at 4K resolution achieves playable performance, and the gap between Low and Ultra is roughly 21 FPS, which represents a significant performance penalty for higher visual fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this CPU and GPU combination at 3310 out of 3723 tested combos for Pc Building Simulator. That places it in the lower 11% of all recorded configurations, which means the vast majority of tested systems outperform it. The percentile data for the individual components explains why: the Intel Core i7-14700F sits at the 91st percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel Arc B390 sits at only the 9th percentile among all GPUs. This is a stark imbalance. The processor is a top-tier part by compute standards, but the graphics solution holds the system back dramatically.

The combo ranking reflects this mismatch. A rank of 3310 out of 3723 means that only 413 tested combos perform worse in this specific game. Most systems, even those with modest CPUs, achieve higher frame rates because the GPU bottleneck dominates. The Arc B390's benchmark score of 1482 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 is extremely low compared to modern discrete graphics cards, and the nearest rival GPUs are all older NVIDIA parts with similar scores. This explains why the combo lands so far down the list despite the strong processor.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High settings, which averages 62 FPS. Ultra settings fall just short at 59 FPS, so High is the recommended maximum for a smooth experience. Medium settings also clear the threshold at 88 FPS, and Low runs at 125 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality among the playable options.

At 2560x1440, only Low settings remain at or above 60 FPS, averaging 79 FPS. Medium dips to 56 FPS, High drops to 39 FPS, and Ultra sits at 38 FPS. The database confirms that Low is the sole playable preset at this resolution, and the frame rate difference between Low and Medium is 23 FPS, which is substantial.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The best result is Low at 41 FPS, but that is still 19 FPS below the playable target. The verdict data lists no playable settings for 4K, so the combination is not viable at this resolution for this game.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i7-14700F are all close in average benchmark score. The Intel Xeon 6505P scores 53701, which is 0.2% lower than the i7-14700F's 53620. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 scores 53469, 0.3% higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53288, 0.6% higher, and the AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53206, 0.8% higher. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates when paired with the same GPU, because the graphics card is the limiting factor in this configuration.

For the Intel Arc B390, the nearest GPU rivals are all NVIDIA parts with similar 3DMark scores. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, which is 1.3% lower than the Arc's 1482. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460, 1.5% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, 2.7% lower. These deltas are small enough that swapping the Arc B390 for any of these GPUs would yield comparable performance in Pc Building Simulator. All of them are entry-level or legacy parts, which reinforces that the GPU is the weak link.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor in this combination. The CPU is far more capable than the GPU, as evidenced by the 91st percentile CPU rank versus the 9th percentile GPU rank. In Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that relies on CPU logic for system building and component interaction, the processor should theoretically carry significant weight. However, the measured frame rates show that the GPU bottleneck dominates at every resolution.

At 1920x1080, the frame rate drops from 125 FPS on Low to 59 FPS on Ultra, a 66 FPS swing. That is a 53% reduction purely from graphics settings. If the CPU were the primary constraint, the scaling between presets would be much smaller. At 2560x1440, the same preset swing goes from 79 FPS to 38 FPS, a 41 FPS drop. At 3840x2160, the swing is from 41 FPS to 20 FPS, a 21 FPS drop. The absolute frame rates fall as resolution increases, which indicates that the GPU's fill rate and shading capacity are the limiting factors.

The scaling between resolutions tells the same story. At Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces the average from 125 FPS to 79 FPS, a 46 FPS loss. Moving from 1440p to 4K reduces it further to 41 FPS, another 38 FPS loss. The GPU simply cannot sustain the pixel throughput at higher resolutions. The CPU's contribution is capped because the GPU cannot feed frames fast enough to utilize the i7-14700F's 20 cores and 28 threads. In this game, the GPU role is dominant across all tested resolutions, and the CPU plays a supporting role that never becomes the primary limiter.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the combination clears the 60 FPS threshold on Low, Medium, and High settings, with High being the most demanding playable preset at 62 FPS. At 2560x1440, only Low settings remain playable at 79 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS, and the best result is 41 FPS on Low.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p is fully playable up to High settings, 1440p is playable only on Low settings, and 4K is not playable at any setting. The bottleneck is unequivocally the GPU. The Intel Core i7-14700F is a high-end processor by any measure, but the Intel Arc B390 is an integrated-class part that ranks in the 9th percentile among all GPUs. In Pc Building Simulator, a simulation game that is not graphically demanding by modern standards, the GPU still prevents the system from reaching higher frame rates at higher resolutions.

For users targeting 1080p with moderate settings, this configuration is adequate. For 1440p or 4K, the GPU must be upgraded to achieve playable performance. The CPU would not need to change, as it is already far more capable than the graphics solution demands. In short, this is a CPU-heavy system with a GPU that limits its gaming potential, and the measured frame rates confirm that the graphics card is the deciding factor in every preset and resolution tested.
