The combination of a 79th-percentile CPU with an 81st-percentile GPU produces a system that ranks in the 78th percentile of all combos tested in this game. The slight gap between component percentiles and the combo rank suggests Pc Building Simulator's workload may favor the GPU slightly more than the CPU, though the difference is small enough that both parts contribute meaningfully to the final result.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Pc Building Simulator's asset streaming and rendering demands. The memory clock runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed, while the GPU's base clock of 1920 MHz boosts to 2475 MHz under load. These specifications translate into a 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 compute rate, which the benchmark results show is more than adequate for this simulation title.

The GPU's 5 nm process node from TSMC houses 35,800 million transistors across a 294 mm² die, with 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. The 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for features that Pc Building Simulator may utilize for realistic lighting and rendering effects, though the measured frame rates suggest the game's core workload relies primarily on traditional rasterization.

At 4K Ultra settings, the combo produces 58 FPS average, which is just below the 60 FPS threshold many users consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. The GPU's performance at this setting shows the RTX 4070 reaching its practical limit in this title, as dropping to High settings at 4K yields 61 FPS — a marginal 3 FPS improvement. This small delta between Ultra and High at 4K indicates the GPU is heavily utilized in both cases, with the additional visual features of Ultra settings consuming most of the remaining headroom.

The GPU's 200 W TDP with a suggested 550 W power supply requirement places it in the mid-range power envelope for modern graphics cards. The dual-slot design and single 16-pin power connector make it compatible with a wide range of cases and power supplies, though the benchmark data focuses on performance rather than physical installation characteristics.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the combo delivers 367 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 232 FPS at 1440p (a 37% reduction) and 121 FPS at 4K (a 67% reduction from 1080p). This dramatic scaling demonstrates that the RTX 4070 becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases, with the CPU's performance headroom becoming less relevant.

At Medium settings, the pattern continues: 260 FPS at 1080p falls to 164 FPS at 1440p (37% lower) and 86 FPS at 4K (67% lower). The consistency of these percentage drops across Low and Medium settings suggests the game's render pipeline scales predictably with resolution, and the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the primary constraints.

High settings show 184 FPS at 1080p, 116 FPS at 1440p, and 61 FPS at 4K. The 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p and 67% drop from 1080p to 4K mirrors the Low and Medium patterns precisely, indicating that resolution scaling is independent of the quality preset. This uniform scaling behavior points to a GPU that is consistently the bottleneck at all settings, with the CPU rarely impeding performance even at lower resolutions.

Ultra settings produce 175 FPS at 1080p, 110 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p drop is 37%, while the 1080p to 4K drop is 67% — again matching the other presets. The fact that Ultra at 1080p (175 FPS) is only 5% slower than High at 1080p (184 FPS) suggests the additional visual features in Ultra have a modest performance cost at lower resolutions, but the gap narrows as resolution increases due to the GPU becoming more saturated.

The measured FPS data includes minimum and maximum values only for Medium settings across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the range spans from 221 FPS minimum to 299 FPS maximum, with an average of 260 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the range is 140 to 189 FPS with a 164 FPS average. At 4K Medium, the range narrows to 73 to 99 FPS with an 86 FPS average. The tightening of the frame time variance at higher resolutions further confirms the GPU-bound nature of the workload, as the CPU has less idle time to cause frame pacing inconsistencies.

Low settings average 232 FPS, Medium settings produce 164 FPS with a range of 140 to 189 FPS, High settings deliver 116 FPS, and Ultra settings achieve 110 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent at approximately 37% across all settings, confirming the GPU-bound nature of the workload. The gap between High and Ultra narrows to 5% at this resolution as well, with 116 FPS versus 110 FPS respectively.

At 3840x2160, the combo reaches its performance limits. Low settings average 121 FPS, Medium settings produce 86 FPS with a range of 73 to 99 FPS, High settings deliver 61 FPS, and Ultra settings achieve 58 FPS. The 4K resolution reduces frame rates by 67% compared to 1080p across all settings, with the GPU becoming increasingly saturated. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 3 FPS (61 versus 58), indicating that the GPU is operating at maximum capacity regardless of the quality preset.

The Medium settings data provides the only complete frame time information, showing minimum and maximum values at each resolution. The variance between minimum and maximum FPS narrows as resolution increases: 78 FPS spread at 1080p (221-299), 49 FPS spread at 1440p (140-189), and 26 FPS spread at 4K (73-99). This tightening variance at higher resolutions indicates more consistent frame pacing as the GPU becomes the sole performance limiter.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X brings six cores and twelve threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.30 GHz. This Zen 4 architecture processor, codenamed Raphael, is manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process node with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die. The 32 MB shared L3 cache, combined with 64 KB L1 and 1 MB L2 per core, provides ample fast memory for Pc Building Simulator's simulation logic and system management tasks.

The CPU's benchmark results demonstrate strong single-threaded performance with a 3DMark single-thread score of 1,060 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,965. Multi-threaded scores include a Cinebench R23 multicore result of 15,236 and a Geekbench multicore score of 13,858. The PassMark multithread score of 28,390 and single-thread score of 4,135 further confirm the CPU's balanced capabilities. These scores place the 7600X in the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27,636.

In Pc Building Simulator specifically, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU. The consistent 37% frame rate drop from 1080p to 1440p and 67% drop from 1080p to 4K across all settings indicates the GPU is the limiting factor at every resolution. Even at 1080p Low settings, where the CPU would be most likely to bottleneck, the combo achieves 367 FPS — a rate that suggests the processor is not constraining performance. The 12 threads handle the game's simulation and system management tasks without issue, allowing the RTX 4070 to operate at full capacity.

The CPU's DDR5 memory support with dual-channel configuration provides 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which complements the GPU's 504.2 GB/s bandwidth. The PCIe Gen 5 interface with 24 lanes (CPU only) offers substantial bandwidth for future expansion, though the RTX 4070 uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The integrated Radeon Graphics provide a fallback display output, though discrete GPU performance is clearly the focus for gaming workloads.

The nearest rival comparisons show the 7600X performing essentially identically to the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Core i5-12600K, both with a 0.2% delta. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE trails by 0.3%, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 leads by 0.4%. These tight margins indicate that in Pc Building Simulator, the choice between these mid-range processors would have minimal impact on the final frame rates when paired with the RTX 4070.
