Pc Building Simulator

# Pc Building Simulator — AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + AMD Radeon RX 9070

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that rarely stresses modern hardware the way a AAA shooter might, yet the measured FPS data for this AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Radeon RX 9070 pairing reveals a fascinating scaling curve. The combo ranks 564th out of 1769 tested configurations, placing it comfortably above the median but far from the top, which suggests the game's workload responds to both CPU and GPU in ways that shift dramatically across resolutions. The 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 5700, based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename) on TSMC's 7nm process, pairs with the RDNA 4.0-based RX 9070, a 4nm chip with 53,900 million transistors spread over a 357 mm² die. The data points toward a system that becomes increasingly GPU-bound as resolution climbs, but the CPU's role is not trivial at lower settings, where frame rates soar to 331.2 FPS at 1080p Low.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K across four settings presets tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lies. At 1080p Low, the combo delivers 331.2 FPS, which drops to 219.7 FPS at 1440p Low (a 33.6% reduction) and then to 113.8 FPS at 4K Low (a further 48.2% reduction from 1440p). This steep decline from 1440p to 4K indicates that the RX 9070's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 644.6 GB/s bandwidth become the limiting factor as pixel count quadruples. At Ultra settings, the pattern is similar but more compressed: 165 FPS at 1080p, 105.8 FPS at 1440p (a 35.9% drop), and 55.9 FPS at 4K (a 47.2% drop from 1440p). The consistent ~48% reduction from 1440p to 4K across both Low and Ultra suggests a purely GPU-bound scenario at 4K, regardless of how demanding the preset is. Conversely, the smaller gap between 1080p and 1440p (around 33-36%) implies that at 1080p, the CPU is still contributing meaningfully, especially at Low settings where the Ryzen 7 5700's 16 threads can flex.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads, running at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost of 4.60 GHz, are more than adequate for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, which likely relies on single-threaded physics and logic calculations. The CPU's benchmark scores reinforce this: a 3dmark single-thread score of 901 and a passmark single-thread score of 3296 show respectable per-core strength, while the cinebench r23 multicore score of 20655 indicates robust multi-threaded capacity for background simulation tasks. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the frame rate of 331.2 FPS is likely near the CPU's practical ceiling for this game, as the GPU is barely taxed at such low settings. The 2-thread 3dmark score of 1762 and 4-thread score of 3382 suggest that the game may not fully utilize all 16 threads, but the 8-thread score of 5585 and max-thread score of 6617 indicate scaling does exist. Notably, the CPU's nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, scores nearly identically (27043 avg vs 27220, a 0.7% delta), which implies that in CPU-limited scenarios, this Ryzen trades blows with a high-end 2018 part. The 65W TDP and DDR4 memory support (dual-channel, 51.2 GB/s) mean the CPU is not a power-hungry outlier, but its L3 cache of 16 MB is modest compared to some modern chips, which could matter in simulation-heavy moments.

GPU Role

The RX 9070 is the star of this pairing, with 3584 shading units, 224 TMUs, and 128 ROPs driving pixel rates of 322.6 GPixel/s and texture rates of 564.5 GTexel/s. The 16 GB GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth, which is crucial for Pc Building Simulator's 3D rendering of PC components and case interiors. The GPU's boost clock of 2520 MHz (game clock 2070 MHz) and 36.13 TFLOPS FP32 compute are clearly overkill for 1080p, as evidenced by the 174.4 FPS at High settings — the game is unlikely to be GPU-limited there. However, at 4K Ultra, the combo dips to 55.9 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold commonly sought for smooth gameplay. The GPU's passmark g3d score of 25381 and 3dmark steel nomad dx12 score of 6290 place it at the 79th percentile among all GPUs, yet its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA A2 (deltaPct -0.2%) and AMD Radeon HD 7970 (deltaPct 0.7%) — a decade-old card — which suggests that raw compute scores may not translate perfectly to this game's specific rendering paths. The RX 9070's 4nm process and RDNA 4.0 architecture with 56 RT cores (though ray tracing is likely unused here) make it a modern powerhouse, but the 4K Ultra result shows that even this GPU hits limits when the game's effects stack up.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for maintaining 60+ FPS at Ultra settings?

A: At 1440p Ultra, the combo delivers 105.8 FPS, well above 60 FPS. At 4K Ultra, it drops to 55.9 FPS, just below the 60 FPS mark. Therefore, 1440p is the highest resolution that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS at Ultra.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rival in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700 scores an average benchmark of 27220, which is 0.7% higher than the Intel Core i9-9900K (27043) and 0.8% higher than the Intel Core i7-12700H (27006). This places the CPU at the 84th percentile of all CPUs.

Q: Is the RX 9070's 16 GB VRAM enough for 4K in this game?

A: Based on measured performance, 16 GB is sufficient, as the 4K High preset achieves 59.6 FPS. The VRAM capacity is not the limiting factor; the GPU's compute throughput appears to be, given the 4K Ultra result of 55.9 FPS.

Q: Why does the FPS drop so much from 1080p to 4K at Low settings?

A: At 1080p Low (331.2 FPS), the CPU is likely the bottleneck. As resolution increases to 4K Low (113.8 FPS), the GPU becomes fully utilized, and the frame rate drops by 65.6% from 1080p, reflecting the GPU's rendering load scaling with pixel count.

Q: What is the combo's overall ranking among tested configurations?

A: The combo ranks 564th out of 1769 tested combos, placing it in the top 31.9% of all configurations tested for Pc Building Simulator.

Q: Does the game benefit more from the CPU's multi-threading or the GPU's raw power?

A: The data suggests a balance. At 1080p Low, the CPU's 16 threads and high single-thread performance (passmark single-thread 3296) keep FPS above 300, while at 4K Ultra, the GPU's 36.13 TFLOPS determines the 55.9 FPS outcome. Neither component is fully idle at any tested setting.

How This Combo Ranks

With a rank of 564 out of 1769 combos, this pairing sits in the upper-middle tier of tested configurations for Pc Building Simulator. The percentile placement (roughly 68% of combos are slower) is notable given the GPU's 79th percentile standing and the CPU's 84th percentile — both components are individually strong, but the game's modest requirements mean that many lower-end combos can also achieve playable frames. The RX 9070's nearest GPU rival, the NVIDIA A2, scores nearly identically (34866 vs 34780, a -0.2% delta), yet the A2 is a data-center card, which underscores that synthetic benchmarks do not always map to gaming performance. Meanwhile, the CPU's rivals — including the Intel Core i7-12700H, a mobile chip — all score within 1.2% of the Ryzen, suggesting that the game's CPU workload is not particularly sensitive to desktop vs mobile variants. The combo's rank implies that while this is a capable system, there are 563 other configurations that outperform it, likely featuring higher-end CPUs or GPUs that push 4K Ultra past 60 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience per the measured rows, the 1440p High preset at 109.8 FPS offers an excellent balance of visual fidelity and performance. It beats 1440p Medium (157.9 FPS) in quality while still exceeding 100 FPS, and it nearly doubles the 4K High result (59.6 FPS) without a significant visual sacrifice. At 1080p, the High preset at 174.4 FPS is overkill for most displays, but it provides a massive headroom for frame pacing. The 4K Medium preset at 80.6 FPS is the only 4K option above 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 4K users who prioritize smoothness over Ultra effects. The Ultra preset at any resolution below 4K (105.8 FPS at 1440p, 165 FPS at 1080p) is viable, but the data shows diminishing returns: stepping from High to Ultra at 1440p costs only 4 FPS (from 109.8 to 105.8), so Ultra is justified if the user wants maximum settings. For 4K, however, Ultra drops to 55.9 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, so Medium (80.6 FPS) is the sensible ceiling.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 331.2 FPS at Low, 244.1 FPS at Medium, 174.4 FPS at High, and 165 FPS at Ultra. The step from Low to Medium reduces FPS by 26.3%, while High to Ultra is a mere 5.4% drop, indicating that Ultra adds little cost at 1080p. At 2560x1440, the numbers are 219.7 FPS (Low), 157.9 FPS (Medium), 109.8 FPS (High), and 105.8 FPS (Ultra). The Low-to-Medium drop is 28.1%, and High-to-Ultra is 3.6%, again showing Ultra's efficiency at this resolution. At 3840x2160, the performance is 113.8 FPS (Low), 80.6 FPS (Medium), 59.6 FPS (High), and 55.9 FPS (Ultra). The Low-to-Medium drop is 29.2%, while High-to-Ultra is 6.2%. Notably, the absolute FPS differences between High and Ultra are nearly constant across resolutions (9.4 FPS at 1080p, 4.0 FPS at 1440p, 3.7 FPS at 4K), which suggests Ultra's extra effects (likely shadows and reflections) have a fixed cost rather than a resolution-scaled one. The min and max FPS are not recorded, so the data only reflects average performance, but the averages alone reveal a system that is remarkably consistent: at every resolution, Low is roughly 2x the FPS of High, and Medium sits almost exactly between Low and High. This linear scaling is typical of a GPU-bound scenario where the game's renderer scales predictably with workload.
