Pc Building Simulator

# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 5 8400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

The data for Pc Building Simulator shows a combo that scales unusually well across resolutions, with the RTX 4070 SUPER clearly dominating the workload at 1080p while the Ryzen 5 8400F becomes more relevant as resolution climbs. This pairing lands at rank 281 out of 1769 tested combinations, placing it in the top 16% of all combos tested in this simulation title. The measured FPS numbers reveal a game that is heavily GPU-bound at lower resolutions, with CPU limitations only appearing at the most extreme frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and reveals the GPU as the primary bottleneck. At High settings, average FPS falls from 206.4 at 1920x1080 to 130.1 at 2560x1440 — a 37% reduction — and then to 70.1 at 3840x2160, which is a 46% further drop. This steep decline pattern indicates that Pc Building Simulator's rendering load scales aggressively with pixel count, and the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory is being pushed hard at 4K.

The scaling behavior at Ultra settings is even more telling. The combo delivers 195.4 FPS at 1080p, drops to 124.5 at 1440p, and bottoms out at 66.4 at 4K. The 1080p-to-1440p reduction of 36% is nearly identical to the High-settings drop, suggesting the GPU is the limiting component across both presets. However, the 1440p-to-4K decline of 47% at Ultra is steeper than the 46% at High, pointing to increasing memory bandwidth pressure at higher resolutions.

Low settings produce the most extreme scaling, with 373.1 FPS at 1080p collapsing to 261.1 at 1440p and 134.6 at 4K. The 1080p figure is so high that it approaches the CPU's practical ceiling for this game — the Ryzen 5 8400F's single-thread score of 951 in 3dmark_single_thread suggests it can only push so many draw calls regardless of resolution. At 4K Low, the 134.6 FPS result shows the GPU still has headroom, but the 48% drop from 1440p indicates resolution is now the dominant factor.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo better suited for 1080p or 4K gaming in Pc Building Simulator?

A: The data shows excellent performance at all resolutions, but the sweet spot is 1440p. At High settings, it delivers 130.1 FPS at 2560x1440, which is comfortably above 60 FPS while still being a 37% drop from the 206.4 FPS at 1080p. At 4K, the 70.1 FPS average at High settings remains playable, but Ultra settings at 66.4 FPS show the GPU nearing its limit.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 SUPER compare to its nearest rivals in overall GPU benchmarks?

A: The RTX 4070 SUPER scores 42576 in average benchmark score, placing it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Its closest competitor is the NVIDIA RTX A6000 at 42653, which is only 0.2% ahead. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE trails by 0.3%, while the AMD Radeon Pro 580X and NVIDIA Tesla M40 are 1.4% and 1.6% behind respectively.

Q: What CPU benchmark scores support the Ryzen 5 8400F's performance in this game?

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a rank of 281 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This top-16% placement is notable given that both components individually sit in the low-80s percentile among their respective categories — the CPU at 82nd and the GPU at 84th. The synergy between the two components appears to be better than their individual percentiles would suggest, indicating that Pc Building Simulator benefits from a balanced pairing rather than extreme CPU or GPU bias.

The CPU's nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, has an identical average score of 25057 — a delta of 0% — which means this pairing would perform nearly identically with that older CPU. Interestingly, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is only 0.3% behind in CPU benchmarks, suggesting that a cheaper CPU could achieve similar results. On the GPU side, the RTX A6000 is 0.2% ahead in raw score, but that professional card costs significantly more and would likely not change the measured FPS in this game.

Given that Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title with heavy UI and system management elements, the 281st rank out of 1769 suggests the combo handles the game's unique rendering demands well. The rank implies that 248 other combos outperform it, but many of those likely use higher-tier GPUs like the RTX 4080 or 4090 series, which would push 4K performance higher. This combo occupies a strong mid-to-high tier position, excelling at 1080p and 1440p while remaining playable at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 373.1 FPS, Medium drops to 288.2 FPS, High yields 206.4 FPS, and Ultra maintains 195.4 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is only 5.3%, suggesting that Ultra settings are nearly as efficient as High at this resolution. The 1080p Low result of 373.1 FPS is the highest measured value in the entire dataset, indicating that the CPU can feed the GPU enough data at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show expected declines. Low settings deliver 261.1 FPS, Medium produces 181.8 FPS, High averages 130.1 FPS, and Ultra manages 124.5 FPS. The High-to-Ultra gap narrows further to 4.3%, which is remarkable for a 1440p resolution. The 1440p Low figure of 261.1 FPS is still above 240 Hz refresh rates, making this resolution highly viable for competitive play if the game supported it.

At 3840x2160, performance drops significantly but remains playable. Low settings give 134.6 FPS, Medium yields 94.1 FPS, High reaches 70.1 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 66.4 FPS. The 4K Low result is still above 120 FPS, which is impressive, but the Ultra result at 66.4 FPS is close to the 60 FPS threshold. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a consistent 48-50% reduction across all settings, confirming that 4K requires nearly double the GPU work.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER plays the dominant role in this pairing, particularly at higher resolutions. Its 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power and 554.4 GTexel/s texture rate are more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator's relatively simple rendering, as evidenced by the 373.1 FPS at 1080p Low. The GPU's 80 ROPS and 198.0 GPixel/s pixel rate handle the game's UI-heavy scenes efficiently, though the pixel rate becomes strained at 4K where 66.4 FPS at Ultra suggests fill-rate limitations.

The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth appears adequate for this title. The game is not memory-hungry, and even at 4K Ultra, the combo does not appear to hit VRAM limits — the 66.4 FPS result is more likely due to compute or bandwidth constraints than memory capacity. The 192-bit bus width is narrow by modern standards, but the 21 Gbps effective memory speed compensates, allowing the GPU to maintain high bandwidth efficiency at 1440p.

The GPU's 84th percentile ranking (avg score 42576) places it just behind the RTX A6000 (42653, -0.2%) and RX 7650 GRE (42723, -0.3%). This tight clustering suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER is well-positioned among its peers, and in Pc Building Simulator specifically, its performance is consistent with its benchmark standing. The boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1980 MHz provide strong sustained performance, as the game's benchmark results show no thermal throttling indicators.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F serves as a capable but secondary component in this pairing. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 architecture, it provides solid single-thread performance that simulation games require. The 3dmark_single_thread score of 951 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2943 indicate strong per-core capability, which is critical for Pc Building Simulator's simulation logic that likely runs on a single thread.

The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking (avg score 25064) is nearly identical to its closest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (25057, 0% delta), which is surprising given the 8400F's newer architecture. The Ryzen 5 7500F is only 0.3% behind, suggesting that the 8400F's performance is typical for its class. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient to feed the GPU without bottlenecking at 1440p and 4K.

At 1080p Low with 373.1 FPS, the CPU may be approaching its maximum frame rate capability. The 3dmark_2_threads score of 1874 and 4_threads score of 3563 suggest that the game's primary thread is well-served, but the 1080p Low result may be close to the CPU's draw-call limit. The 4.20 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost clocks provide headroom, but the 65W TDP indicates that the CPU is not designed for extreme sustained loads.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the data points to High settings at 1440p as the optimal choice. The 130.1 FPS at 2560x1440 High is 4.5% higher than the 124.5 FPS at Ultra, while the visual difference between High and Ultra in Pc Building Simulator is likely minimal given the game's interface-heavy nature. The 1440p High setting also leaves headroom for frame rate dips, as the 130.1 FPS average is well above the 60 FPS target.

If the user prioritizes maximum frame rates, 1080p Low at 373.1 FPS is the obvious pick, though this sacrifices visual fidelity. The 1080p Medium at 288.2 FPS offers a better balance, providing 77% of the Low frame rate while likely improving visual clarity. For users with 144Hz monitors, 1440p Medium at 181.8 FPS is the best choice, as it exceeds 144 FPS while maintaining a higher resolution than 1080p.

At 4K, the data shows that High settings (70.1 FPS) are preferable to Ultra (66.4 FPS), as the 5.3% frame rate gain from dropping to High is more valuable than the marginal visual improvements from Ultra. The 4K Medium setting at 94.1 FPS is actually the best 4K option if the user can tolerate Medium quality, as it provides a 34% improvement over High while remaining above 60 FPS. Users with 4K displays should start at High and move down to Medium if they need more frame rate headroom, as the Ultra preset's 66.4 FPS result is too close to the 60 FPS threshold for comfortable gameplay.
