Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates across the three tested resolutions reveal a classic scaling curve that shifts the bottleneck between components. At 1920x1080, the combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti delivers extremely high average frame rates: 315.7 FPS on Low settings, 225.9 FPS on Medium, 160.0 FPS on High, and 148.8 FPS on Ultra. These figures are so far beyond typical display refresh rates that the CPU's Zen 4 architecture, with its 6 cores and 12 threads boosting to 5.30 GHz, is clearly capable of feeding the GPU without constraint at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but begin to show a more pronounced drop. Low settings produce 200.5 FPS, Medium yields 140.9 FPS, High comes in at 102.6 FPS, and Ultra holds at 94.6 FPS. The relative drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 36% at Low settings, 38% at Medium, 36% at High, and 36% at Ultra. This consistency across settings suggests that the scaling is resolution-driven rather than settings-driven, pointing toward the GPU becoming a more significant factor as pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. Low settings drop to 107.3 FPS, Medium falls to 75.2 FPS, High sinks to 53.3 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 48.2 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is approximately 46% at Low, 47% at Medium, 48% at High, and 49% at Ultra. This near-uniform percentage decline across all settings indicates that the RTX 3070 Ti's 8 GB of GDDR6X memory and 256-bit bus are now the primary limiting factor. The data clearly shows that this configuration is CPU-bound at 1080p, balanced at 1440p, and GPU-bound at 4K.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, built on the Ampere architecture with the GA104 chip, plays a decisive role in determining the upper limits of this benchmark set. Its memory configuration—8 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus delivering 608.3 GB/s of bandwidth—provides ample headroom for the simulation genre's typical asset streaming demands. The GPU's base clock of 1575 MHz and boost clock of 1770 MHz, combined with 6144 shading units and 192 texture mapping units, produce a measured PassMark G3D score of 23356 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3478.

The VRAM capacity becomes particularly relevant at 3840x2160, where the gap between Low and Ultra settings is substantial: 107.3 FPS versus 48.2 FPS. This 55% reduction in frame rate when moving from Low to Ultra at 4K suggests that the 8 GB frame buffer is being heavily taxed by higher-quality textures and effects typical of Ultra presets. In contrast, the same Low-to-Ultra transition at 1080p only reduces performance by 53%, and at 1440p by 53% as well, indicating that the VRAM pressure scales more steeply with resolution than with settings complexity.

The GPU's compute capabilities, measured at 11601 in PassMark GPU Compute and 21.75 TFLOPS FP32, are more than sufficient for a simulation title that does not heavily utilize ray tracing or tensor core workloads. The 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores present in this GPU are largely idle in this game, meaning the raw rasterization throughput—169.9 GPixel/s pixel rate and 339.8 GTexel/s texture rate—is what drives the observed frame rates. The data suggests that the RTX 3070 Ti is the correct performance tier for 1440p gaming, where it maintains 94.6 FPS at Ultra, but it is insufficient for smooth 4K Ultra experiences, where the 48.2 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS threshold.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal settings preset depends heavily on target resolution and desired frame rate floor. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 148.8 FPS, which is already far above any practical refresh rate ceiling and only 7% lower than High settings at 160.0 FPS. This makes Ultra the clear choice at 1080p, as the performance cost is minimal and the visual quality ceiling is achieved without compromising playability.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 102.6 FPS offers the best balance. Ultra at 94.6 FPS is still playable but the 8% performance penalty compared to High yields diminishing returns in a simulation genre where visual fidelity differences between High and Ultra are often subtle. The Medium preset at 140.9 FPS is unnecessary for most users, as High already exceeds 100 FPS and provides superior image quality.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more nuanced. The Medium preset at 75.2 FPS is the only setting that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 4K gaming. High at 53.3 FPS is borderline, and Ultra at 48.2 FPS falls short of smooth gameplay standards. Low at 107.3 FPS is playable but sacrifices too much visual quality for a simulation game where readability of system components and UI elements matters. The data indicates that Medium at 4K is the sweet spot, providing a 56% improvement over Ultra while maintaining acceptable visual quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured average frame rates provides a comprehensive view of this configuration's performance envelope.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are uniformly high: Low produces 315.7 FPS, Medium reduces this to 225.9 FPS (a 28% drop), High further reduces to 160.0 FPS (a 29% drop from Medium), and Ultra settles at 148.8 FPS (a 7% drop from High). The relatively modest gap between High and Ultra at this resolution indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor, as the GPU can still process frames quickly enough to keep up with the processor's output.

At 2560x1440, the progression is steeper: Low at 200.5 FPS, Medium at 140.9 FPS (a 30% drop), High at 102.6 FPS (a 27% drop), and Ultra at 94.6 FPS (an 8% drop). The similar percentage drops between resolutions suggest a consistent GPU workload scaling pattern, with the 1440p pixel count (3.7 million pixels) representing a 78% increase over 1080p (2.1 million pixels).

At 3840x2160, the frame rates compress significantly: Low at 107.3 FPS, Medium at 75.2 FPS (a 30% drop), High at 53.3 FPS (a 29% drop), and Ultra at 48.2 FPS (a 10% drop). The 4K resolution contains 8.3 million pixels, which is 4 times more than 1080p and 2.25 times more than 1440p. The measured frame rates at 4K scale roughly inversely with pixel count, confirming that the RTX 3070 Ti's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the dominant constraints at this resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database's tested combinations for Pc Building Simulator, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti achieves a rank of 693 out of 1769 tested combos, placing it in the 61st percentile of all configurations tested for this game. This mid-tier ranking reflects the balanced nature of the pairing: the CPU is not the fastest available (its average benchmark score of 26272 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs), and the GPU is similarly positioned (its average score of 30849 places it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs).

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U (avg score 26262, delta 0%), AMD Ryzen 7 7735U (avg score 26305, delta -0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE (avg score 26320, delta -0.2%), and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (avg score 26214, delta 0.2%). These negligible deltas indicate that the 7600X performs nearly identically to these alternatives in general-purpose benchmarks, though the game-specific results may differ due to architectural nuances.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME (avg score 30755, delta 0.3%), AMD Radeon RX 6700 (avg score 31112, delta -0.8%), NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (avg score 31142, delta -0.9%), and NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q (avg score 31220, delta -1.2%). These small deltas again suggest that the RTX 3070 Ti performs within a narrow band of its direct competitors in synthetic workloads. The combo's rank of 693 out of 1769 indicates that while this configuration is capable of running Pc Building Simulator comfortably at all tested resolutions, it is not among the top-tier combinations that would achieve maximum frame rates at 4K Ultra settings. The data positions this pairing as a solid mid-range option that excels at 1440p gaming and handles 1080p with exceptional headroom.
