CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, and built on TSMC's 5 nm process. Its base clock is 3.70 GHz with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, and it carries a 65 W TDP. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is to manage game logic, physics calculations for component interactions, and the simulation of system boot sequences, which are typically single-threaded or lightly threaded tasks.

The benchmark data supports the notion that this CPU is not the primary bottleneck in this title. Its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072 and multi-core score of 21765 indicate strong per-thread performance, which is crucial for the game's simulation updates. The Ryzen 5 7400F sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32750. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14600T, scores 32707, representing a negligible 0.1% difference, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H is 0.2% faster. This shows the CPU is well-positioned for modern titles.

In the actual game measurements, the CPU's capability is evident when looking at frame rate scaling. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 282 FPS average, which is a frame rate ceiling typically limited by CPU draw-call processing. The fact that this number is so high confirms that the 7400F can feed the GPU efficiently at lower resolutions. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support (with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth) help reduce latency in simulation loops, ensuring that the game's state updates do not starve the render thread. The CPU's 6 cores are adequate for this genre, as Pc Building Simulator does not heavily utilize more than a few threads for its core simulation.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 is a RDNA 3.0 architecture GPU, codenamed Wheat Nas, built on TSMC's 5 nm process with 28,100 million transistors. It features 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation pipelines, along with 40 ray tracing cores. The GPU's base clock is 1900 MHz, with a boost clock of 2459 MHz and a game clock of 2041 MHz. It is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is generous for a mid-range card and proves ample for the visual demands of Pc Building Simulator.

The GPU's role in this game is to render the 3D workspace where users build and modify PCs, including detailed component models, lighting effects, and the physical environment. The data shows that the RX 7700 is the decisive factor in frame rate scaling across settings. Its Passmark G3D score is 20974, with a percentile ranking of 58 against all GPUs. The average benchmark score is 15852, and its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon R9 370X, which is essentially tied at -0.1% delta. The RX 7700 trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti by 1.7%, indicating it sits in a competitive mid-range tier.

In practice, the GPU's compute power (25.18 TFLOPS FP32) handles the rendering workload. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 44, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. This is a clear sign that the rasterization load at 4K Ultra exceeds the GPU's capabilities for smooth play. However, dropping to 4K Medium yields 66 FPS average, showing that the GPU has enough headroom to handle the game at lower presets. The 16 GB VRAM buffer ensures that there are no texture swapping stutters, as the game's asset sizes are unlikely to exceed this capacity, even at 4K with Ultra settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers high frame rates across the board. Low settings produce an average of 282 FPS, Medium averages 200 FPS (with a min of 170 and max of 230), High averages 141 FPS, and Ultra averages 134 FPS. This shows that at 1080p, the system is heavily CPU-bound at Low settings, but the GPU becomes more involved as settings increase, with a 52% drop from Low to Ultra.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but begin to show GPU scaling. Low settings average 178 FPS, Medium averages 126 FPS (min 107, max 145), High averages 89 FPS, and Ultra averages 85 FPS. The step from High to Ultra is minimal (89 to 85 FPS), suggesting that Ultra preset adds features that are not significantly more taxing on the GPU than High. The 1440p results indicate that the RX 7700 can handle high refresh rates at this resolution, especially on Medium and Low settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU load becomes substantial. Low settings average 93 FPS, which is still playable. Medium averages 66 FPS (min 56, max 76), High averages 47 FPS, and Ultra averages 44 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at 4K is 53%, similar to the scaling at 1080p, but the absolute numbers are much lower due to the increased pixel count. The 4K Ultra result of 44 FPS is below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay, while 4K Medium at 66 FPS is borderline acceptable.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a clear pattern of resolution scaling that highlights the GPU as the limiting component. From 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the average FPS drops from 141 to 89, a 37% decrease. From 1440p to 4K at High settings, the average FPS drops from 89 to 47, a 47% decrease. This accelerating decline with resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the pixel fill rate and shading complexity become dominant factors.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is even more pronounced. The FPS goes from 134 at 1080p, to 85 at 1440p, to 44 at 4K. This represents a 67% drop from 1080p to 4K. In contrast, at Low settings, the FPS goes from 282 at 1080p, to 178 at 1440p, to 93 at 4K, a 67% drop as well. The consistent percentage drop across settings suggests that the game's rendering pipeline scales linearly with pixel count, and the RX 7700's compute units are the primary arbiter of performance.

This scaling behavior indicates that for this game, the CPU's influence diminishes as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the 282 FPS ceiling is likely set by the CPU's single-thread performance, but by 4K, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck. The fact that 4K Low (93 FPS) is higher than 4K High (47 FPS) by a factor of two shows that the GPU has significant headroom when texture and shader complexity are reduced, but the sheer number of pixels at 4K still limits it to sub-100 FPS even on Low.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal settings depend on the user's resolution and frame rate preference. For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset at 134 FPS average is the best experience for most users, as it provides maximum visual quality while maintaining a frame rate well above 60 FPS. If a user has a 240 Hz monitor, the Medium preset at 200 FPS average (min 170) is the recommended choice, as it offers a significant boost in smoothness with only a moderate reduction in visual fidelity compared to Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset at 85 FPS average is the best for visual fidelity, but it dips below the 90 FPS threshold that some users prefer for fast-paced gameplay. The High preset at 89 FPS average is nearly identical in performance (only 4 FPS less than Ultra) and may be a better choice if it reduces some unnecessary effects. For high refresh rate 1440p monitors (144 Hz or above), the Medium preset at 126 FPS average (min 107) is the recommended setting, as it comfortably stays above 100 FPS and provides a smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, the choice is more constrained. The Ultra preset at 44 FPS average is not recommended for a playable experience, as it falls below the 60 FPS standard. The High preset at 47 FPS is similarly marginal. The Medium preset at 66 FPS average (min 56) is the minimum recommended setting for 4K, as it stays mostly above 60 FPS and provides a balanced visual experience. For users who prioritize frame rate over visuals at 4K, the Low preset at 93 FPS average is available, but it sacrifices significant visual quality. The data suggests that 1440p is the ideal resolution for this combo, as it allows for Ultra settings at 85 FPS, which offers both high fidelity and smooth performance.
