Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that stresses system configuration logic more than raw graphical fidelity, yet the measured frame rates for the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 reveal a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings. The data shows a component pairing that scales unusually well with lower graphical loads, indicating that the CPU and GPU are both capable of pushing high frame rates, but the balance between them shifts dramatically depending on the resolution and preset selected.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for this combo demonstrates a steep and consistent drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, which is typical for a GPU-bound simulation workload. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers an average of 346 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 219 FPS, a reduction of 127 FPS or roughly 36.7% from the 1080p figure. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls further to 114 FPS, which is about 67.1% lower than the 1080p Low result. This pattern indicates that even at Low settings, the resolution increase places a heavy load on the GPU, and the RX 9070’s rendering capabilities become the primary limiter as pixel count grows.

The scaling behavior is more pronounced at higher settings. At High settings, the combo achieves 173 FPS at 1920x1080, 109 FPS at 2560x1440, and 57 FPS at 3840x2160. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 64 FPS (37.0%), while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 52 FPS (47.7%). This suggests that the GPU is increasingly taxed at each resolution step, with the 4K High result barely maintaining a playable average above 60 FPS. At Ultra settings, the trend continues: 165 FPS at 1080p, 104 FPS at 1440p, and 54 FPS at 4K. The Ultra 4K figure is actually lower than the High 4K figure by 3 FPS, showing that the additional graphical detail from Ultra settings pushes the GPU past its comfortable threshold at that resolution.

The Medium settings provide the only complete min and max FPS data in the pack. At 1920x1080 Medium, the average is 245 FPS with a minimum of 209 FPS and a maximum of 282 FPS. At 2560x1440 Medium, the average drops to 155 FPS, with a minimum of 132 FPS and a maximum of 178 FPS. At 3840x2160 Medium, the average is 81 FPS, with a minimum of 69 FPS and a maximum of 93 FPS. The gap between minimum and maximum FPS widens proportionally with resolution, from a 73 FPS spread at 1080p to a 46 FPS spread at 1440p and a 24 FPS spread at 4K. This narrowing range at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes more consistently saturated, reducing frame time variance as it works closer to its limit.

What the resolution scaling reveals is that this combo is heavily GPU-limited at 4K across all settings, with the CPU headroom largely unused. At 1080p Low, the 346 FPS average suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high rates, but the GPU cannot sustain that throughput as resolution climbs. The data implies that for players targeting 1080p or 1440p, the RX 9070 has ample performance, while 4K gaming requires setting adjustments to stay above 60 FPS, as only Low settings (114 FPS) and Medium settings (81 FPS) exceed that threshold.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is a RDNA 4.0 architecture GPU built on a 4 nm process, featuring a Navi 48 chip with 53,900 million transistors and a die size of 357 mm². Its clock speeds are notable: a base clock of 1330 MHz, a boost clock of 2520 MHz, and a game clock of 2070 MHz. The memory subsystem consists of 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s. The GPU has 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 128 render output units, along with 56 ray tracing cores. Its compute performance is rated at 36.13 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, with a pixel rate of 322.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 564.5 GTexel/s.

In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the GPU’s role is defined by how these specifications translate into frame rates. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for a simulation game that does not require extreme texture memory, and the 644.6 GB/s bandwidth ensures that the memory subsystem is not a bottleneck at any tested resolution. The GPU’s benchmark scores reflect its overall capability: it scores 25381 in Passmark G3D, 6290 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, and 131539 in Geekbench OpenCL. Its percentile ranking against all GPUs is 69, meaning it outperforms 69% of the tested GPU pool.

The nearest rivals to the RX 9070 in average benchmark score provide context for its relative position. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z has an average score of 23736, which is 0.6% lower than the RX 9070’s average of 23877. The AMD Radeon RX 6800S scores 24063, which is 0.8% higher, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile scores 23628, which is 1.1% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER scores 24170, which is 1.2% higher. These deltas are all within a narrow band of about 1.2%, indicating that the RX 9070 sits in a performance tier where small differences in synthetic benchmarks do not necessarily translate to large FPS gaps in real games.

In this specific game, the GPU’s performance is the dominant factor at higher resolutions. The measured FPS data shows that at 3840x2160, even at Low settings, the average FPS is 114, which is far below the 346 FPS seen at 1920x1080 Low. This suggests that the GPU’s rendering pipeline, not the CPU, is the limiting component at 4K. The GPU’s 36.13 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is substantial, but the demand of 4K rendering in this simulation title exceeds what the GPU can deliver at high or ultra settings, resulting in averages of 57 and 54 FPS respectively. The GPU’s 220 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU indicate a power-hungry component, but the data does not include power consumption measurements during gameplay, so its thermal impact cannot be quantified here.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a Zen 4 architecture processor based on the Raphael codename, manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s and ECC memory support. The CPU uses the AMD Socket AM5 interface and has a 65 W TDP. Its PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 24 lanes available from the CPU. The CPU’s release date is 2025-01-08, and it is currently in active production.

The CPU’s benchmark scores indicate strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21765 in multi-core and 3072 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, the scores are 9141 multi-core and 1290 single-core. Passmark tests show a multithread score of 25645 and a single-thread score of 3689. Its percentile ranking against all CPUs is 83, meaning it outperforms 83% of the tested CPU pool. The average benchmark score is 32750, and the nearest rivals are all within a narrow margin: the Intel Core i5-14600T scores 32707 (0.1% lower), the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores 32697 (0.2% lower), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812 (0.2% higher), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 scores 32662 (0.3% lower).

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU’s role is to handle game logic, system simulation, and physics calculations, which are not graphically intensive but can be demanding on processor resources. The data shows that at 1920x1080 Low, the combo achieves 346 FPS, which is a very high frame rate that likely approaches the CPU’s maximum throughput in this game. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads, combined with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, provide enough single-thread performance to drive high frame rates at lower resolutions. The 32 MB L3 cache is ample for the simulation’s data access patterns, and the DDR5 memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s ensures that memory latency does not become a bottleneck.

However, the CPU’s influence diminishes as resolution increases. At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop to 54-114 FPS depending on settings, which is far below the CPU’s potential. This indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, and the CPU has significant headroom that is not being utilized. The fact that the 1080p Low result is 346 FPS, while the 4K Low result is only 114 FPS, shows a 232 FPS gap that cannot be attributed to CPU performance. The CPU is capable of sustaining frame rates well above 300 FPS in this game, as evidenced by the 1080p Low figure, but the GPU cannot match that throughput at higher resolutions.

The CPU’s nearest rival comparisons further contextualize its performance. Being within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H and 0.2% of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H means that in synthetic benchmarks, the 7400F is effectively on par with these processors. In gaming, this translates to similar CPU-bound performance, but the actual FPS in Pc Building Simulator will be determined by the GPU at most settings and resolutions. The CPU’s 65 W TDP is low for a desktop processor, but the data does not include power consumption during gaming, so its efficiency cannot be assessed from this pack.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and AMD Radeon RX 9070 ranks 830 out of 3002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 27.6% of all combinations. This rank is based on measured FPS data, and it reflects the combo’s ability to deliver high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, while being less competitive at 4K. The rank of 830 means that 2172 combos performed worse, and 829 combos performed better, indicating that this pairing is above average but not elite.

The ranking is likely influenced by the GPU’s strong performance at 1080p and 1440p, where it achieves averages above 100 FPS at High settings and above 200 FPS at Low settings for 1440p. The CPU’s high single-thread performance helps ensure that the GPU is not starved at lower resolutions, allowing the combo to reach 346 FPS at 1080p Low. At 4K, the combo’s performance drops significantly, which may drag its overall rank down compared to combos with more powerful GPUs that can maintain higher frame rates at that resolution.

In comparison to other combos, the data shows that this pairing is competitive in its price and performance tier, but without specific rival combo scores, a direct comparison is not possible. The combo’s rank of 830 out of 3002 suggests that it is a solid mid-to-high-tier option for simulation games, where frame rates are not as critical as in fast-paced shooters, but still benefit from smooth performance. The fact that the combo can achieve 165 FPS at 1080p Ultra and 104 FPS at 1440p Ultra indicates that it can handle high settings with ease, making it suitable for players who prioritize visual quality over maximum frame rates.
