# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 5 5500 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates for this combination reveal a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo delivers 308 FPS average, which drops to 264 FPS at 1440p and further to 146 FPS at 4K. This represents a 52.6% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is being pushed progressively harder as pixel count rises.

Moving to Medium settings, the scaling shows 271 FPS at 1080p, 198 FPS at 1440p, and 103 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K here is 62% — a larger relative decline than at Low settings, which suggests that the additional shading work at Medium amplifies the GPU load disproportionately at higher resolutions. The High preset tells a similar story: 221 FPS at 1080p, 140 FPS at 1440p, and 73 FPS at 4K, a 67% reduction across the resolution range.

Ultra settings exhibit the steepest scaling curve: 211 FPS at 1080p, 133 FPS at 1440p, and 70 FPS at 4K, a 66.8% drop. The narrowing gap between High and Ultra at 4K (73 vs. 70 FPS) hints that the game's Ultra preset adds effects that saturate the GPU's compute resources at 4K, whereas at 1080p the difference is more modest (221 vs. 211 FPS). The data indicates that Pc Building Simulator's rendering workload scales almost linearly with pixel count, and the RTX 5070 Ti maintains playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra, though the margin above 60 FPS is slim.

The limiting component at 1080p is clearly the CPU, given that even at Ultra the combo reaches 211 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most monitors. At 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, as evidenced by the large FPS drops across all presets. The measured 4K Medium average of 103 FPS with a minimum of 88 FPS shows that the RTX 5070 Ti remains capable at high resolutions, but the Ultra preset's 70 FPS average leaves little headroom for demanding scenes.

The 65W TDP and PCIe Gen 3 interface are sufficient for this game, as the GPU's PCIe 5.0 x16 connection can operate at Gen 3 speeds without significant performance loss in this title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution. At 1080p, all presets deliver well above 200 FPS — Low at 308, Medium at 271, High at 221, and Ultra at 211. The difference between High and Ultra is only 10 FPS (211 vs. 221), making Ultra the recommended choice for users with 1080p displays, as the visual quality increase is substantial relative to the minor performance cost.

For 1440p, the Medium preset provides 198 FPS average with a minimum of 168 FPS and maximum of 228 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. High settings at 140 FPS are also viable, while Ultra at 133 FPS remains well above the 60 FPS threshold. The data suggests that 1440p High is the sweet spot for visual fidelity and performance, offering 140 FPS with a 7 FPS penalty compared to Medium but significantly better image quality.

At 4K, the recommendation shifts to Medium settings, which deliver 103 FPS average with a minimum of 88 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS and ensures smooth gameplay even in complex simulation scenes. High at 73 FPS and Ultra at 70 FPS are playable but risk dropping below 60 FPS in demanding moments, as the minimum FPS for these presets is not recorded but the average is close to the threshold.

The Low preset at 4K achieves 146 FPS, but this sacrifices too much visual quality for the resolution. For users with 4K displays, the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and visual fidelity, with the minimum FPS of 88 ensuring that even the most complex scenes remain fluid. The measured data shows no instances of frame rates dropping below 60 FPS at any resolution or preset, which confirms that this combination is consistently capable of delivering a smooth experience.
