# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 5 7400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a remarkably smooth experience in Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title from 2019 that is far more forgiving on hardware than modern AAA shooters. The measured frame rates across all resolutions and settings confirm that this pairing is overkill for the game's demands, with the GPU rarely breaking a sweat and the 6-core CPU providing ample headroom. The data shows a system that can push well past 60 FPS at 4K and triple-digit frame rates at lower resolutions, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1440p and even 1080p.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows reveal a clear hierarchy: Ultra settings are the most demanding, followed by High, then Medium, with Low being the fastest preset at every resolution. At 4K, the Ultra preset averages 58 FPS, which is just below the 60 FPS threshold that most users consider the baseline for smooth gameplay. High settings at 4K produce 61 FPS, barely crossing that line. However, the Medium preset at 4K jumps to 86 FPS with a minimum of 73 and a maximum of 99, offering a substantial improvement over Ultra with only a modest visual downgrade. This makes Medium the sensible choice for 4K displays, as it comfortably exceeds 60 FPS while maintaining a frame buffer that prevents noticeable dips.

At 1440p, the situation changes dramatically. Ultra averages 110 FPS, High hits 116 FPS, and Medium reaches 164 FPS. For users with 144Hz monitors, the Medium preset at 1440p is the sweet spot, delivering frame rates that fully utilize the display's refresh rate while still looking sharp. The Low preset at 1440p reaches 232 FPS, which is only relevant for 240Hz panels and offers diminishing returns for most players. High settings at 1440p, at 116 FPS, are also perfectly playable and provide better visual fidelity than Medium, so the choice between High and Medium depends on whether the user prioritizes image quality or maximum frame rate.

At 1080p, every preset is playable, but the differences become stark. Ultra averages 175 FPS, High hits 184 FPS, Medium reaches 260 FPS, and Low tops out at 367 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p is the strongest recommendation for competitive or high-refresh-rate play, as its 260 FPS average with a 221 FPS minimum ensures no frame drops below the refresh rate of even the fastest common gaming monitors. Ultra and High are both well above 144 FPS, so they remain viable for 144Hz displays, but Medium's headroom makes it the best balance of visual quality and performance.

The overall recommendation is to use Medium settings for any resolution above 1080p if the user has a high-refresh-rate display, and to reserve Ultra or High for 1080p or for users who prioritize visual fidelity over raw frame rates. The data suggests that Medium is the "best experience" preset because it consistently delivers large FPS gains over High and Ultra with only minor visual compromises, especially at higher resolutions where the GPU is more stressed.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Pc Building Simulator at 4K with playable frame rates?

A: Yes. At 4K Medium, the average FPS is 86 with a minimum of 73, which is well above the 60 FPS playability threshold. High settings at 4K average 61 FPS, just barely playable, while Ultra drops to 58 FPS, which may feel slightly stuttery. Medium is the recommended 4K preset.

Q: What is the best preset for a 144Hz monitor at 1440p?

A: The Medium preset at 1440p averages 164 FPS, which exceeds 144Hz and provides a comfortable margin. High settings at 1440p average 116 FPS, which is below 144Hz, so users with 144Hz panels should use Medium to fully utilize their monitor's refresh rate.

Q: How much faster is Low compared to Ultra at 1080p?

A: At 1080p, Low averages 367 FPS while Ultra averages 175 FPS. This means Low is roughly twice as fast as Ultra in terms of average frame rate, but the visual differences between these presets are substantial, and Ultra's 175 FPS is already high enough for most displays.

Q: Does the RTX 4070 bottleneck the CPU in this game?

A: The data indicates the opposite. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 367 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high rates. The GPU is more likely the limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings, as frame rates drop from 367 FPS at 1080p Low to 121 FPS at 4K Low.

Q: Is this combination overkill for Pc Building Simulator?

A: The benchmark results indicate that this pairing is far more powerful than the game requires. Even at 4K Ultra, the system maintains 58 FPS, and at 1440p Ultra it hits 110 FPS. For a simulation game that does not feature fast-paced action, these results are excessive, but they do provide headroom for multitasking or streaming.

Q: What frame times can users expect at 1440p Medium?

A: At 1440p Medium, the average FPS is 164 with a minimum of 140 and a maximum of 189. This means frame times stay well within the 7-8 millisecond range, providing a smooth experience without noticeable hitches.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern as resolution increases from 1080p to 1440p to 4K. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 367 at 1080p to 232 at 1440p, a reduction of roughly 37%, and then to 121 at 4K, a further reduction of about 48%. At Medium settings, the progression is from 260 FPS at 1080p to 164 FPS at 1440p and then 86 FPS at 4K. At High settings, the numbers are 184 FPS at 1080p, 116 FPS at 1440p, and 61 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings follow a similar trajectory: 175 FPS at 1080p, 110 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K.

The scaling behavior indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. As resolution increases, the pixel count grows significantly, and the RTX 4070 must render more fragments, which directly reduces frame rates. The fact that the FPS drops by roughly half from 1440p to 4K at every settings level suggests that the GPU is being pushed harder at 4K, while the CPU has enough headroom to keep up. At 1080p, the high frame rates (175-367 FPS depending on settings) indicate that the CPU is still capable of delivering data to the GPU quickly, but the GPU is not the limiting factor at that resolution.

The limiting component shifts based on resolution and settings. At 1080p Low, the CPU is likely the constraint, as the system reaches 367 FPS, which is near the practical limit for many CPUs. At 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, with the frame rate dropping to 58 FPS. The RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 4K, but the rendering load at that resolution overwhelms the GPU's 5888 shading units. The Ryzen 5 7400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, maintains consistent performance across resolutions, suggesting it is not a limiting factor until frame rates exceed 300 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 (4K), the measured results show a wide spread across settings. Low settings produce an average of 121 FPS, which is surprisingly high for 4K and indicates that the game is not graphically intensive. Medium settings average 86 FPS with a minimum of 73 and a maximum of 99, providing a stable experience. High settings average 61 FPS, which is just at the edge of playability, while Ultra settings average 58 FPS, slightly below the 60 FPS target. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 63 FPS, showing that the game scales well with settings but that Ultra demands significantly more GPU resources.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the results are more comfortable. Low settings average 232 FPS, Medium averages 164 FPS with a minimum of 140 and a maximum of 189, High averages 116 FPS, and Ultra averages 110 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 1440p is only 6 FPS, suggesting that Ultra's additional effects have a minimal performance impact at this resolution. Medium offers the largest jump over High, with a 48 FPS improvement, making it the standout preset for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the system shows its full potential. Low settings average 367 FPS, which is exceptionally high and indicates that the CPU can sustain very high frame rates. Medium averages 260 FPS with a minimum of 221 and a maximum of 299, providing smooth performance on any monitor. High averages 184 FPS, and Ultra averages 175 FPS. The gap between Medium and High at 1080p is 76 FPS, which is substantial and highlights Medium as the best performance-per-visual-quality choice. The minimum FPS values are only recorded for Medium settings, but the averages suggest that the system maintains consistent performance without major dips.
