Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a performance profile in Pc Building Simulator that is heavily dictated by resolution, with the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck only at 4K. At 1440p and below, the combination produces frame rates high enough to saturate most displays, but the data reveals distinct scaling behavior that separates it from purely GPU-bound configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates show a clear and expected progression as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop between 1080p and 4K tells the story of component balance. At 1080p with High settings, this combo produces an average of 184 FPS. Moving to 1440p High, the average drops to 116 FPS, a reduction of 68 FPS or roughly 37%. The jump to 4K High yields 61 FPS, which is a further 55 FPS drop from 1440p, representing a 47% decline. This steepening curve indicates that the RTX 4070’s rendering workload scales aggressively with pixel count, while the CPU maintains sufficient headroom even as the resolution increases.

At Low settings, the scaling behavior is even more pronounced. The combo achieves 267 FPS at 1080p Low, 229 FPS at 1440p Low, and 121 FPS at 4K Low. The 1080p-to-1440p drop is only 38 FPS (14%), suggesting the CPU is beginning to limit performance at the lowest settings and highest frame rates. However, the 1440p-to-4K drop of 108 FPS (47%) shows the GPU reasserting itself as the dominant constraint at 4K even with minimal graphical load. The fact that 4K Low (121 FPS) still nearly doubles 4K High (61 FPS) indicates that the GPU has significant headroom when shading work is reduced.

Medium settings provide the only rows with min and max frame data, which offers insight into frame pacing. At 4K Medium, the average is 86 FPS with a minimum of 73 FPS and a maximum of 99 FPS, giving a spread of 26 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 164 FPS with min/max of 140 and 189, a spread of 49 FPS. At 1080p Medium, the average is 235 FPS with min/max of 199 and 270, a spread of 71 FPS. The widening spread at lower resolutions suggests that CPU-side frame generation becomes less consistent as the GPU finishes frames faster, introducing more variance in frame delivery times.

The Ultra preset shows the smallest absolute FPS values across all resolutions: 175 FPS at 1080p, 110 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K. The 1080p-to-1440p drop is 65 FPS (37%), while the 1440p-to-4K drop is 52 FPS (47%). This consistent percentage drop across the Ultra preset indicates a well-balanced scaling curve where the GPU’s workload increases proportionally with pixel count, without the CPU becoming a limiting factor even at 1080p Ultra.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus with a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. Its boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1920 MHz place it in the upper tier of the GeForce 40-series. The data shows that this GPU is the dominant component in determining frame rates at 4K, where even at Low settings it manages 121 FPS but at Ultra drops to 58 FPS, a 52% reduction. This sensitivity to settings at 4K is characteristic of a GPU that is fully utilized, with each incremental increase in shading complexity directly impacting output.

The RTX 4070’s benchmark scores reinforce its position. Its Passmark G3D score of 26927 places it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37648. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (deltaPct 0.4), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (deltaPct -1.3), and AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (deltaPct 1.3). This tight clustering around the RTX 4070’s average score, with deltas under 1.5%, indicates that the card performs consistently within its expected tier, and the measured FPS in Pc Building Simulator aligns with this positioning.

The 12 GB VRAM capacity is never stressed in this game, as even at 4K Ultra the combo achieves playable frame rates without any indication of memory-related stuttering in the measured data. The GDDR6X memory’s effective speed of 21 Gbps, combined with the 192-bit bus, delivers the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth necessary to feed the GPU’s 5888 shading units at high resolutions. The RTX 4070’s 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are not directly relevant to Pc Building Simulator’s rendering workload, as the game does not rely on ray tracing or DLSS in the measured presets, but they contribute to the card’s overall architecture.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture (Renoir codename), operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its 8 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) provide adequate feeding for the RTX 4070, but the data suggests the CPU becomes a secondary constraint at lower resolutions and higher frame rates. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 267 FPS, which approaches the practical limit for many CPU-bound scenarios, and the 1440p Low result of 229 FPS shows only a 14% drop, indicating the CPU is holding performance back from what the GPU could potentially deliver.

The CPU’s benchmark scores place it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE (deltaPct -0.6), Intel Core 7 150U (deltaPct 0.6), and Intel Core i3-14100T (deltaPct -0.8). The sub-1% deltas among these rivals show that the 4600G performs essentially on par with its closest competitors, which are all lower-core-count parts. This suggests that the 4600G’s 6-core/12-thread configuration is not a meaningful advantage in this game’s workload, but it also is not a deficit. In Cinebench R23, the CPU scores 13593 multicore and 1919 single-core, while its 3DMark scores range from 726 single-thread to 4889 max-threads, showing respectable scaling across thread counts.

For Pc Building Simulator specifically, the CPU’s role appears to be maintaining frame pacing rather than setting absolute limits. The min FPS data at Medium settings shows that at 1080p, the minimum of 199 FPS is 85% of the average (235 FPS), whereas at 4K, the minimum of 73 FPS is also 85% of the average (86 FPS). This consistent ratio indicates that the CPU’s frame generation keeps pace with the GPU across resolutions, though the wider absolute spread at 1080p (71 FPS between min and max) versus 4K (26 FPS) suggests more frame timing variability when the GPU finishes frames more quickly.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimizing the experience across different resolutions. At 4K, the Ultra preset yields 58 FPS, which is technically playable but leaves minimal headroom for demanding scenes. The High preset at 4K produces 61 FPS, only a 3 FPS improvement over Ultra, suggesting that the Ultra-to-High transition does little to relieve GPU load. The Medium preset at 4K, however, jumps to 86 FPS, a 41% increase over Ultra, and the Low preset reaches 121 FPS, more than double the Ultra result. For 4K users, Medium is the recommended setting, as it provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while retaining visual quality, and the min FPS of 73 ensures no drops below playable thresholds.

At 1440p, the High preset delivers 116 FPS, which is excellent for most displays, and Ultra achieves 110 FPS, only a 5% reduction. The Medium preset at 1440p reaches 164 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh monitors, while Low produces 229 FPS, likely beyond the refresh rate of any typical 1440p panel. The 1440p Ultra setting is the best choice for visual fidelity, as the 110 FPS average remains well above 60 FPS, and the gap to High is minimal. For competitive play, Medium at 1440p offers the best balance between visual quality and frame rate headroom, with a 164 FPS average and a min of 140 FPS ensuring consistent performance.

At 1080p, all presets exceed 175 FPS, with Ultra at 175, High at 184, Medium at 235, and Low at 267. The Ultra preset is the clear recommendation, as it provides the highest visual quality while still maintaining a 175 FPS average, which is sufficient for any 1440p or 4K display running at 1080p content. The Medium preset’s 235 FPS average and 199 FPS minimum make it suitable for extreme high-refresh esports displays (240Hz), but the visual compromise may not be worth the additional frames in a simulation game where detail matters. The data shows diminishing returns beyond High at 1080p, as the 9 FPS difference between High and Ultra is negligible relative to the overall frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 1119th out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 30% of all combinations in the database. This ranking is notable because the CPU is a mid-range part (71st percentile among all CPUs) while the GPU is a high-end part (81st percentile among all GPUs), yet the combo still outperforms the majority of tested systems. The ranking suggests that for this particular game, the GPU’s contribution to frame rates is more significant than the CPU’s, which aligns with the resolution scaling data showing the GPU as the primary bottleneck at 4K.

The combo’s rank relative to its component parts is informative. With the CPU at the 71st percentile and the GPU at the 81st percentile, one might expect the combo to rank near the 75th percentile of combos, but it instead achieves roughly the 70th percentile (1119/3723). This slight underperformance relative to component averages indicates that Pc Building Simulator places more emphasis on GPU than CPU, but the 4600G’s 6-core/12-thread configuration is sufficient to avoid holding back the RTX 4070 in a meaningful way. The nearest rival CPUs, such as the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE with a deltaPct of 0.1, would likely produce nearly identical results when paired with the same GPU, confirming that the CPU is not a differentiator in this game.

The fact that the combo achieves 61 FPS at 4K High and 58 FPS at 4K Ultra, while the GPU’s nearest rival (RTX 4080 Mobile, deltaPct -1.3) would perform slightly better, shows that the RTX 4070 is well-matched to this game’s demands. The ranking also benefits from the game’s relatively light CPU requirements, as evidenced by the 4600G’s performance matching CPUs with fewer cores at similar average scores. For users with this combo, the data indicates that they are getting near-optimal performance for their hardware, with the only meaningful upgrade path being a stronger GPU to improve 4K Ultra frame rates.
