GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti brings 8 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 256-bit bus, delivering 608.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This memory configuration proves adequate for Pc Building Simulator across all tested resolutions, with the measured frame rates showing no signs of memory capacity being a limiting factor even at 4K Ultra settings.

The GPU's clock behavior—1575 MHz base and 1770 MHz boost—combined with its 6144 shading units and 96 ROPs, produces a texture rate of 339.8 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s. These specifications translate into raw throughput that the game's rendering engine can utilize effectively, particularly given that Pc Building Simulator's visual complexity is moderate compared to action-oriented titles.

The RTX 3070 Ti's 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which allows the game to leverage modern rendering features when enabled. The GPU's FP32 compute of 21.75 TFLOPS provides substantial headroom for any physics or simulation calculations that might offload to the GPU, though the game's CPU-focused nature means this compute capacity is not always fully exercised.

At 4K resolution, the GPU's role becomes more prominent. The measured data shows a clear scaling pattern: Low settings at 4K produce 105 FPS average, Medium produces 74 FPS, High produces 52 FPS, and Ultra drops to 50 FPS. This progression demonstrates that the GPU's rendering load increases substantially with each quality tier, and the 8 GB VRAM buffer remains sufficient throughout. The GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6800, scores 30095 on average versus the RTX 3070 Ti's 29945, a delta of -0.5%, indicating these cards perform nearly identically in synthetic benchmarks, which aligns with the measured game performance.

The data reveals that the RTX 3070 Ti maintains playable frame rates above 50 FPS at all tested settings and resolutions. The minimum FPS values recorded at Medium settings (191 at 1080p, 121 at 1440p, 63 at 4K) indicate frame time consistency that avoids major stuttering, even though the game's simulation nature may introduce occasional CPU-bound dips not captured in the average values.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process node. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 65 W TDP that keeps thermal demands modest. The CPU's 32 MB shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 cache per core provide ample low-latency storage for game data, which is beneficial for a simulation title that may frequently access game state information.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7400F scores 21765 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3072 in single-core, placing it at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. The PassMark multi-thread score of 25645 and single-thread score of 3689 further confirm its capability. The CPU's nearest rivals show extremely tight clustering, with all deltas within 0.3% of each other, indicating that the Ryzen 5 7400F's performance tier is well-populated with similarly capable processors.

For Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is significant given the genre's reliance on logic simulation, inventory management, and component interaction calculations. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 317 FPS, which is high enough to suggest the CPU is not the primary limiter at lower resolutions. However, the scaling from 1080p to 4K—where frame rates drop by nearly half—indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck as resolution increases.

The CPU's 12 threads provide sufficient parallelism for the game's simulation threads, and the boost clock of 4.70 GHz ensures strong single-threaded performance for the primary game logic loop. The 65 W TDP and 5 nm process node contribute to thermal headroom that prevents clock throttling during extended sessions, which is relevant for a game where users may spend significant time building and testing systems. The CPU's memory support for DDR5 at 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provides fast data access for the game's asset loading and state management.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium settings preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium produces 225 FPS average with a minimum of 191 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most displays while maintaining frame time stability. At 1440p, Medium yields 142 FPS average with 121 FPS minimum, still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. At 4K, Medium delivers 74 FPS average with 63 FPS minimum, providing a playable experience without requiring the performance sacrifice of Low settings.

The High settings preset represents a reasonable alternative for users prioritizing visual quality over frame rate headroom. At 1080p, High produces 159 FPS average, at 1440p it produces 100 FPS, and at 4K it drops to 52 FPS. The 4K High result is borderline for users with high refresh rate displays, but remains playable. The difference between High and Ultra settings is minimal—only 8 FPS at 1080p, 5 FPS at 1440p, and 2 FPS at 4K—suggesting that the visual improvements from Ultra may not justify the performance cost.

For users with 60 Hz displays at 4K, Medium settings provide a comfortable margin above the refresh rate, while High settings sit just below the ideal threshold. The Low settings preset, while producing the highest frame rates (317 FPS at 1080p, 200 FPS at 1440p, 105 FPS at 4K), likely sacrifices too much visual fidelity for a simulation game where reading component details and system status is important. The data indicates that the GPU's performance headroom at Medium settings across all resolutions makes this the recommended starting point, with adjustments toward High for users who prefer visual quality and have lower refresh rate displays.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the system produces 317 FPS at 1080p, 200 FPS at 1440p, and 105 FPS at 4K, representing drops of 37% from 1080p to 1440p and 48% from 1440p to 4K. At Medium settings, the progression goes from 225 FPS at 1080p to 142 FPS at 1440p to 74 FPS at 4K, with identical percentage drops. High settings follow the same pattern: 159 FPS at 1080p, 100 FPS at 1440p, 52 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings produce 151 FPS at 1080p, 95 FPS at 1440p, and 50 FPS at 4K.

The consistent scaling pattern across all settings presets—approximately 37% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and 48% reduction from 1440p to 4K—indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component as resolution increases. The number of pixels from 1080p to 1440p increases by 78%, and from 1440p to 4K by 125%, yet the frame rate drops are proportionally smaller, suggesting that the game's rendering workload does not scale purely with pixel count. This is characteristic of a simulation title where CPU overhead and game logic processing consume a portion of frame time that remains constant regardless of resolution.

The narrowing gap between High and Ultra settings at higher resolutions—8 FPS at 1080p, 5 FPS at 1440p, 2 FPS at 4K—further reinforces that the GPU is becoming saturated as pixel count increases. At 4K, both High and Ultra settings produce frame rates in the low 50s, indicating that the GPU is nearing its maximum output capacity for this game's rendering requirements. The RTX 3070 Ti's 8 GB VRAM and 608.3 GB/s bandwidth appear sufficient at all resolutions, as no sudden performance cliff is observed that would indicate memory capacity exhaustion.

The scaling data suggests that for users who want to maintain frame rates above 60 FPS, the RTX 3070 Ti can handle Medium settings at 4K (74 FPS) but not High (52 FPS). At 1440p, the GPU can handle Ultra settings at 95 FPS, providing headroom for high refresh rate displays. At 1080p, all settings presets exceed 150 FPS, making the GPU's performance more than adequate for competitive play or high refresh rate monitors. The CPU's role in this scaling is minimal, as the consistent percentage drops across settings indicate the GPU's rendering load is the dominant factor in frame rate variation with resolution.
