Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title where frame pacing and component interaction matter more than raw graphical spectacle, and the measured results for the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combo show a system that scales predictably across resolutions. The data places this pairing at rank 440 out of 3002 tested combos, putting it in the top 15% of all configurations tested for this game, which indicates a strong but not absolute top-tier showing. The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 part with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, and the GPU, a 12 GB GDDR6X card with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, work together to deliver playable performance at every setting measured, though the balance of responsibility shifts noticeably as resolution increases.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is the clearest indicator of where the bottleneck lies in this combo. At 1080p with Low settings, the system pushes 370 FPS average, which is an exceptionally high ceiling that suggests the CPU is doing the heavy lifting to feed frames. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 258 FPS, a reduction of 112 FPS or roughly 30%, and then 4K Low falls to 135 FPS, which is another 123 FPS drop or about 48% from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, but the absolute numbers at Low settings indicate that the CPU is capable of generating very high frame rates when the GPU has less work to do.

The scaling becomes more linear and less dramatic when looking at higher presets. At High settings, the system delivers 205 FPS at 1080p, 129 FPS at 1440p, and 67 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is about 37%, and from 1440p to 4K it is about 48%. This consistent pattern across presets suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary limiter as resolution climbs, with the Ryzen 5 7400F providing enough headroom to avoid stalling the GPU at lower resolutions. At Ultra settings, the numbers are 195 FPS, 123 FPS, and 64 FPS for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively, showing that the Ultra preset imposes a near-constant overhead that scales proportionally with pixel count.

The data reveals that this game is not particularly demanding on the GPU at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the 370 FPS Low result at 1080p. This is a simulation title where the CPU handles complex logic for system building and testing, so the high frame rates at 1080p suggest that the processor is the limiting factor there. However, the 4K results, which cap out at 135 FPS even on Low settings, indicate that the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck at 3840x2160. The measured minimum FPS values, which are only available for Medium settings, show 246 FPS at 1080p, 155 FPS at 1440p, and 81 FPS at 4K, and these minimums are all well above playable thresholds, indicating stable frame delivery rather than sporadic spikes.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 5 nm process from TSMC, with a transistor count of 35,800 million on a 294 mm² die. The card features 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs, which gives it a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is rated at 35.48 TFLOPS, which is a strong figure for 1440p gaming but shows its limits when pushing 4K at higher presets. The GPU has a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, and these clocks are directly reflected in the measured frame rates, where the card maintains high averages without thermal throttling in the data.

Memory configuration is a critical factor for this game, as Pc Building Simulator involves rendering detailed 3D components and case layouts. The RTX 4070 SUPER comes with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This memory bandwidth is sufficient for the textures and models used in the simulation, as evidenced by the stable minimum FPS values at Medium settings across all resolutions. The 12 GB capacity is not taxed heavily at 1080p or 1440p, but the 4K results suggest that the card is working harder to fill the frame buffer, which contributes to the lower average FPS at that resolution.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 43223, and its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB with a delta of -0.1% and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile with a delta of -1%. This positioning indicates that the desktop RTX 4070 SUPER is a solid performer, but it is not at the absolute top of the stack. In this specific game, the GPU's role is to render the 3D environment and component models, and the data shows that it can handle Medium settings at 4K with an average of 96 FPS, but High and Ultra drop to 67 FPS and 64 FPS respectively, which are still playable but not ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W, and it supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The CPU has a total L3 cache of 32 MB shared across the cores, which is important for simulation games that rely on fast access to frequently used data. The processor's passmark single-thread score is 3689, which is strong for handling the game's UI and logic threads, and its multithread score is 25645, which helps with background tasks.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU is responsible for simulating the behavior of components, calculating power draw, and managing the complex state of the virtual system. The benchmark results show that the Ryzen 5 7400F is not a bottleneck at 1080p, as evidenced by the 370 FPS Low result, which is likely near the engine's frame rate cap. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and single-core score of 3072 indicate that the processor has sufficient headroom to feed the RTX 4070 SUPER at lower resolutions. At 1440p, the CPU still provides enough throughput to maintain high frame rates, with the 258 FPS Low result showing that the processor is not the limiting factor until the GPU becomes more heavily loaded.

The CPU's percentile ranking is 83rd among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32750, and its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-14600T with a delta of 0.1% and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H with a delta of -0.2%. This places the 7400F in a competitive position for gaming, and the data confirms that it does not hold back the GPU in this title. However, the 4K results show that the CPU's role diminishes as the GPU takes over, and the 135 FPS Low result at 4K is more indicative of GPU limitations than CPU performance. The processor's 12 threads and 6 cores are adequate for this simulation, and the 65 W TDP suggests it runs cool enough to sustain boost clocks without thermal issues, which is reflected in the consistent frame rates across presets.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide clear guidance on which preset delivers the best experience for this combo. At 1080p, the Low preset yields 370 FPS average, which is overkill for any standard monitor, and the Medium preset at 290 FPS is also excessive. The High preset at 205 FPS and Ultra at 195 FPS are both well above 144 Hz refresh rates, so players with high-refresh monitors should opt for Ultra to get the best visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. The difference between High and Ultra is only 10 FPS at 1080p, making Ultra the obvious choice for maximum fidelity.

At 1440p, the recommendation shifts slightly. The Low preset at 258 FPS is still more than needed, but the Medium preset at 183 FPS provides a good balance of visual quality and performance. The High preset at 129 FPS is still above 120 Hz, which is excellent for most gaming monitors, and the Ultra preset at 123 FPS is nearly identical, showing that the GPU can handle the extra settings without a significant penalty. For 1440p, the data suggests that High or Ultra is the sweet spot, with only a 6 FPS difference between them, and both are well within the range of high-refresh displays.

At 4K, the choice becomes more critical. The Low preset at 135 FPS is playable but sacrifices visual detail, while the Medium preset at 96 FPS with a minimum of 81 FPS offers a more balanced experience. The High preset at 67 FPS and Ultra at 64 FPS are both above 60 FPS, which is the minimum for smooth gameplay, but they may not be ideal for fast-paced interactions. The Medium preset at 4K is the best recommendation for this combo, as it provides a comfortable frame rate with a minimum of 81 FPS, ensuring no noticeable stutter, while retaining enough visual quality for a simulation game where readability of components matters. For players who prioritize frame rate over visuals, the Low preset is the fallback, but the Medium preset is the measured sweet spot at 3840x2160.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank for this pairing in Pc Building Simulator is 440 out of 3002 tested combinations, which places it in the 85th percentile of all combos. This is a strong showing, indicating that the Ryzen 5 7400F and RTX 4070 SUPER are well-matched for this title, but there are 439 other combos that perform better. The rank is likely influenced by the fact that this is a simulation game that does not heavily stress the GPU, so combos with stronger CPUs might edge out this pairing in specific scenarios. However, the data shows that this combo delivers playable frame rates at all resolutions and settings, which is a solid result for a mid-range to high-end configuration.

Looking at the individual component rankings, the CPU is in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is also in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. This alignment suggests that neither component is a weak link, and the combo rank of 440 out of 3002 reflects a balanced system. The nearest rival combos in terms of GPU performance include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB and the GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile, but those are different form factors, so the desktop RTX 4070 SUPER is in a unique position. The combo's rank is not at the very top, but it is far from the bottom, and the measured FPS data shows that it can handle this game with ease, even at 4K with Medium settings.

The fact that the combo ranks in the top 15% is notable, but it also indicates that there is room for improvement if a user were to pair the RTX 4070 SUPER with a higher-end CPU. However, for the price point and power envelope, this combo is efficient, and the data confirms that it delivers a smooth experience in this specific simulation title. The rank is a single data point, but it correlates with the measured FPS numbers, which show consistent performance across all tested configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured FPS values show a clear hierarchy across presets. The Low preset delivers an average of 370 FPS, which is the highest recorded for this combo in any configuration. The Medium preset drops to 290 FPS, with a minimum of 246 FPS and a maximum of 333 FPS, indicating a stable frame delivery. The High preset averages 205 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 195 FPS, with no minimum or maximum values recorded for these presets. These numbers show that the CPU is the limiting factor at 1080p, as the GPU is not being fully utilized at these lower resolutions.

At 2560x1440, the FPS values scale down proportionally. The Low preset averages 258 FPS, which is still very high, and the Medium preset averages 183 FPS, with a minimum of 155 FPS and a maximum of 210 FPS. The High preset averages 129 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 123 FPS. These results indicate that the GPU is starting to become more involved, but the system still has significant headroom for high-refresh monitors. The difference between High and Ultra at 1440p is minimal, showing that the extra settings do not tax the GPU heavily.

At 3840x2160, the FPS values are the lowest but still playable. The Low preset averages 135 FPS, which is surprisingly high for 4K and suggests that the game is not graphically intensive at lower settings. The Medium preset averages 96 FPS, with a minimum of 81 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS, which is a solid result for 4K gaming. The High preset averages 67 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 64 FPS, both of which are above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The data shows that the GPU is the clear bottleneck at 4K, but the RTX 4070 SUPER handles it well, especially at Medium settings where the minimum FPS stays above 80.
