# CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael), built on TSMC's 5 nm process. It runs on the AMD Socket AM5 platform with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The chip has a 65 W TDP, which is notably modest for a desktop part, and it supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The CPU also carries 32 MB of shared L3 cache, along with 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 64 KB of L1 cache per core.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7400F posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and a single-core score of 3072. Its Cinebench R20 results are 9141 multi-core and 1290 single-core, while the older R15 test yields 2193 multi-core and 309 single-core. The processor's PassMark multi-thread score is 25645, with a single-thread score of 3689. Its average benchmark score across all tests is 32750, which places it in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs.

Looking at the nearest rivals, the Intel Core i5-14600T scores 32707 (0.1% behind the 7400F), the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores 32697 (0.2% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812 (0.2% ahead). The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 scores 32662 (0.3% behind). These are extremely tight margins, with the 7400F sitting essentially at parity with a broad range of mid-range and mobile chips. The practical takeaway is that the CPU's raw compute capability is competitive with those parts, but for Pc Building Simulator, what matters more is how the 6-core/12-thread configuration handles the game's logic and simulation threads.

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title where the CPU manages the state of components, case layouts, and user interactions. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 248 FPS, which suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions. The 7400F's high single-core performance, evidenced by its 3072 Cinebench R23 single-core score, is adequate for the game's mostly single-threaded UI and building logic. The multi-threaded capability (12 threads) ensures that background tasks like component database lookups and physics for dangling cables don't drag down frame rates. In short, the CPU has ample headroom for this game, and its 83rd percentile ranking confirms it is well above the typical processor used in tested combos.

# GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture using the TU104 chip, fabricated on TSMC's 12 nm process. It features 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, along with 40 ray tracing cores and 320 tensor cores. The GPU runs at a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz. Memory is 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s at an effective speed of 14 Gbps. The card's pixel rate is 113.3 GPixel/s, the texture rate is 283.2 GTexel/s, and it delivers 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

In GPU benchmarks, the RTX 2070 SUPER scores 18169 in PassMark G3D, with a PassMark GPU compute score of 7557. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 83358, and Vulkan score is 90637. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result is 1651. The GPU's average benchmark score is 20282, placing it in the 65th percentile among all GPUs.

The nearest rivals show tight competition: the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480 (1.0% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534 (1.2% ahead), the Intel Arc B570 scores 20556 (1.3% ahead), and the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582 (1.5% ahead). While the RTX 2070 SUPER is slightly behind these parts in average score, the differences are under 2%, meaning real-world gaming performance is nearly indistinguishable. For Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is primarily rendering the 3D workspace, component models, and case interiors. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game's textures, which are not demanding by modern standards, but the memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s ensures smooth texture streaming as you rotate and zoom into builds.

The 65th percentile GPU ranking indicates this is a mid-to-upper tier card, but the measured FPS data shows it is more than enough for this simulation. At 1080p Ultra, the combo hits 118 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The GPU's 12 nm process and 215 W TDP are older-generation specs, but they do not hinder this particular title. The real insight is that the RTX 2070 SUPER's performance in Pc Building Simulator is constrained more by the game's engine than by the GPU's raw power, as evidenced by the scaling patterns discussed next.

# Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling across resolutions. At 1080p High, the combo averages 124 FPS; at 1440p High, it drops to 78 FPS; and at 4K High, it falls to 41 FPS. This represents a 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 47% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is consistent across settings: Low settings go from 248 FPS at 1080p to 156 FPS at 1440p and 82 FPS at 4K. Medium settings show 175 FPS at 1080p, 111 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings yield 118 FPS at 1080p, 74 FPS at 1440p, and 39 FPS at 4K.

The pattern is textbook GPU-bound scaling. As resolution increases, the number of pixels quadruples from 1080p to 4K, and the FPS roughly halves at every setting level. For example, at Medium settings, the FPS drops from 175 to 111 to 58, which is a 66% reduction from 1080p to 4K. This is close to what you would expect if the GPU were the primary limiting factor, as rendering more pixels consumes more GPU bandwidth and shading resources. The CPU's contribution remains constant across resolutions, so the fact that FPS scales nearly linearly with pixel count indicates the RTX 2070 SUPER is the bottleneck at higher resolutions.

At 1080p Low, the 248 FPS result shows the CPU can drive the game at very high frame rates when the GPU is not stressed. The fact that 1080p Ultra (118 FPS) is significantly lower than 1080p Low (248 FPS) confirms that even at 1080p, GPU workload matters. The CPU is never the limiting factor in this combo for Pc Building Simulator, as evidenced by the 83rd percentile CPU ranking versus the 65th percentile GPU ranking. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would see FPS plateau across resolutions, but the data shows consistent drops. This means the Ryzen 5 7400F has headroom, and the RTX 2070 SUPER is the component that determines playable settings and resolutions.

# How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo of AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1693 out of 3002 tested combinations in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the 56th percentile of all combos, meaning 56% of tested configurations perform worse, and 44% perform better. Given the individual component rankings (CPU at 83rd percentile, GPU at 65th percentile), the combo ranking is lower than either component's percentile, which indicates that the game's performance is more dependent on the GPU than the CPU.

The rank of 1693 out of 3002 suggests this is a middle-of-the-pack combo. It is not a top-tier configuration, but it is also far from the bottom. The data shows that the combo can achieve 118 FPS at 1080p Ultra, which is playable for most users. The 4K Ultra result of 39 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold, so users targeting 4K would need to lower settings to Medium (58 FPS) or High (41 FPS) to get a smoother experience. At 1440p, the combo is well-suited, with Ultra hitting 74 FPS and High at 78 FPS, both comfortably above 60 FPS.

Compared to other combos, the 1693 rank indicates that while the CPU is strong, the GPU holds the combo back from higher rankings. The nearest GPU rivals (RTX 3070 Mobile, Arc B570, Arc A750) all have slightly higher average scores, and they would likely push a similar CPU into a higher combo rank. Conversely, pairing the 7400F with a stronger GPU would yield better results. For Pc Building Simulator specifically, the combo's rank suggests it is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but 4K requires compromises in visual quality.
