Pc Building Simulator

# Pc Building Simulator — AMD Ryzen 5 7400F + AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

The measured performance data for this combination in Pc Building Simulator reveals a system that scales predictably across resolutions, with the RX 9070 XT providing substantial headroom at 1080p and 1440p while settling into playable territory at 4K. The Ryzen 5 7400F, a 6-core/12-thread Zen 4 Raphael part, pairs with the Navi 48-based RX 9070 XT to produce frame rates that shift from extremely high at lower resolutions to merely adequate at the top end. Across the twelve measured rows spanning three resolutions and four settings, the data shows a clear pattern: the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution climbs, while the CPU's strong single-thread performance keeps frame rates elevated at 1080p. The combo ranks 617th out of 3002 tested combinations, placing it in the top 21% of all tested combos for this title.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K tells a clear story about which component dominates the rendering pipeline. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 184 FPS at 1920x1080 to 116 FPS at 2560x1440, then further to 61 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 37% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, followed by a 47% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is nearly linear with pixel count, which indicates the GPU is doing the heavy lifting at these settings. At Low settings, the drop is even more dramatic in absolute terms: 367 FPS at 1080p falls to 232 FPS at 1440p, then to 121 FPS at 4K. The 1080p Low result of 367 FPS is the highest measured value across the entire dataset, suggesting the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU at this resolution.

The Medium preset provides the most complete data, including minimum and maximum frame rates. At 1080p Medium, the system averages 260 FPS with a minimum of 221 and maximum of 299. Moving to 1440p Medium, the average drops to 164 FPS with a range of 140 to 189. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 86 FPS with a minimum of 73 and maximum of 99. The minimum frame rates show a consistent pattern: the 4K Medium minimum of 73 FPS is 33% below the 1080p Medium minimum of 221 FPS, which aligns with the pixel count difference. The Ultra preset follows the same trend: 175 FPS at 1080p, 110 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K.

The scaling behavior indicates that Pc Building Simulator is primarily GPU-limited at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the gap between Low (367 FPS) and Ultra (175 FPS) is 192 FPS, while at 4K the same settings gap shrinks to 63 FPS (121 versus 58). This compression at 4K suggests the GPU's pixel throughput becomes the bottleneck, whereas at 1080p the settings-dependent workload allows the CPU to push much higher frame rates. The RX 9070 XT's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 644.6 GB/s bandwidth appear sufficient across all tested configurations, as there are no anomalous drops that would indicate memory capacity or bandwidth constraints.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear hierarchy of performance across the four presets. For players targeting 60 FPS as a baseline, the data shows that 4K Ultra delivers 58 FPS average, which is just below the 60 FPS threshold. Stepping down to 4K High yields 61 FPS average, making High the more suitable choice for 4K displays. At 1440p, all four presets exceed 60 FPS comfortably: Low runs at 232 FPS, Medium at 164 FPS, High at 116 FPS, and Ultra at 110 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at 1440p is only 6 FPS (116 versus 110), which suggests Ultra is viable for players who prioritize visual fidelity over the small frame rate difference.

At 1080p, every preset delivers well above 60 FPS, with even Ultra maintaining 175 FPS average. The data shows that Medium at 1080p provides the best balance of smoothness and visual quality, with a 260 FPS average and a minimum of 221 FPS that keeps well above any display refresh rate below 200 Hz. For competitive play or high-refresh-rate displays, Low at 1080p offers 367 FPS, which provides maximum responsiveness. The 4K Medium result of 86 FPS average with a 73 FPS minimum makes it a solid choice for players who want higher quality than Low but cannot sustain Ultra settings. The measured minimum frame rates at Medium — 73 FPS at 4K, 140 FPS at 1440p, and 221 FPS at 1080p — indicate consistent frame pacing without severe dips.

The data suggests that the Ultra preset is only marginally more demanding than High at lower resolutions. At 1440p, the difference is 6 FPS, and at 1080p it is 9 FPS. This small delta means players with 1440p or 1080p displays can typically enable Ultra without sacrificing smoothness. At 4K, however, the 3 FPS difference between High (61 FPS) and Ultra (58 FPS) crosses the 60 FPS threshold, making High the recommended setting for that resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT ranks 617th out of 3002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator.

At 1920x1080, the measured results span a wide range. Low settings produce an average of 367 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded in the entire dataset. Medium settings yield 260 FPS average, with a minimum of 221 and maximum of 299. High settings deliver 184 FPS average, and Ultra settings produce 175 FPS average. The variation from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 192 FPS, representing a 52% reduction from the lowest to highest quality preset. The Medium preset's minimum of 221 FPS ensures that even the most demanding scenes stay well above typical refresh rates.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong across all settings. Low averages 232 FPS, Medium averages 164 FPS with a range of 140 to 189, High averages 116 FPS, and Ultra averages 110 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 6 FPS at this resolution, compared to 9 FPS at 1080p. The Medium minimum of 140 FPS still provides a smooth experience for high-refresh-rate monitors. The 1440p results show that the RX 9070 XT retains significant headroom even at higher pixel counts.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates become more moderate. Low averages 121 FPS, Medium averages 86 FPS with a minimum of 73 and maximum of 99, High averages 61 FPS, and Ultra averages 58 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only measured configuration that falls below 60 FPS average. The Medium preset at 4K provides the best balance, with an 86 FPS average that remains comfortably above 60 FPS. The minimum frame rate at 4K Medium (73 FPS) is still higher than the average frame rate at 4K Ultra (58 FPS), highlighting the performance cost of the Ultra preset.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1660 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost clock of 2970 MHz. With 4096 shading units, 256 TMUs, and 128 ROPs, the card delivers 48.66 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The memory runs at 2518 MHz, which translates to 20.1 Gbps effective. These specifications are more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p.

The GPU's benchmark results show a PassMark G3D score of 26795 and a PassMark GPU Compute score of 15864. Its percentile rank of 55 against all GPUs places it in the middle of the pack, which is surprising given the modern RDNA 4.0 architecture. The nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the AMD Radeon HD 7770M, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, NVIDIA P106-090, and AMD Radeon Pro 555 — all significantly older or lower-tier products. This suggests that Pc Building Simulator may not fully utilize the RX 9070 XT's capabilities, or that the benchmark database's scoring does not reflect gaming performance accurately.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is not stressed by this title, as the game's release date of 2019-01-28 predates the GPU by several years. The measured frame rates show no signs of memory-related stuttering or capacity limitations, even at 4K Ultra with 58 FPS average. The GPU's 304 W TDP and dual-slot design indicate a high-power part, but the data does not reveal any thermal throttling effects on frame rates. The DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 API compatibility ensure the card can handle modern rendering paths, though the game's simulation focus likely places less emphasis on advanced graphics features.
