Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS deltas across resolutions tell a clear story about where this system's bottleneck lives. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 330.1 FPS, but stepping up to 1440p Low drops that to 256.2 FPS — a 22.4% reduction. Moving further to 4K Low yields 133.4 FPS, which is nearly half of the 1440p result. This scaling pattern is steep, indicating that the GPU is being increasingly taxed as pixel count rises, but the CPU is still keeping pace without collapsing.

The High preset shows a similar but slightly different curve: 207.1 FPS at 1080p, 131.9 FPS at 1440p, and 65.9 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p here is 36.3%, larger than the Low preset's 22.4% decline. That widening gap suggests that as settings increase, the graphics card's workload grows disproportionately, reinforcing that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary driver of performance changes across resolutions. The CPU's role becomes less dominant at higher settings because the frame rate is already lower, giving the processor more time between frames to do its work.

At Ultra settings, the pattern continues: 195.7 FPS at 1080p, 122.7 FPS at 1440p, and 62.3 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is just 31.8% of the 1080p Ultra figure, which is a substantial performance penalty. This indicates that 4K Ultra is pushing the GPU to its limits, with the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth being fully utilized. The data implies that for anyone targeting 4K, the GPU becomes the clear limiting component, while at 1080p, the CPU's capability to feed high frame rates is more relevant.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The RTX 4070 SUPER operates with a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, built on the AD104 chip with 7168 shading units. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit bus delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that relies heavily on scene complexity rather than fast-paced rendering, these specifications translate into the FPS figures observed. The game's benchmark results show that at 4K Ultra, the combo achieves 62.3 FPS, which is playable but not silky smooth, suggesting the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute capacity are the binding constraints at that extreme.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 84th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A6000 with a delta of -0.2%, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE at -0.3%, and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X at 1.4%. These close margins indicate that the RTX 4070 SUPER is competitively positioned, but in this specific game, the measured FPS at 4K High (65.9 FPS) versus 4K Low (133.4 FPS) shows a 67.5 FPS swing — a 51% improvement when dropping settings. This large gap underscores that the GPU's performance is highly sensitive to graphical preset changes, particularly at higher resolutions where pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth become critical.

The GPU's pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s are substantial, yet the 4K Ultra result of 62.3 FPS reveals that even this hardware cannot fully saturate a 4K display with maximum settings in this title. The FP32 compute of 35.48 TFLOPS is ample for most simulation workloads, but the game's engine appears to favor memory throughput over raw compute, given the steep drops when moving from Medium to Ultra at 4K (94.8 FPS to 62.3 FPS, a 34.3% reduction).

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 brings 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Built on Zen 3 architecture with 16 MB of L3 cache, this CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20655 and a single-core score of 2916. In a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, which often involves complex logic and physics calculations, the CPU's multi-threaded capability matters, but the single-thread performance also plays a role in maintaining high frame rates.

The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 330.1 FPS, which is well above typical display refresh rates and indicates the CPU is not the limiting factor at lower settings. However, comparing to the CPU's percentile ranking of 84th among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27220, it sits close to rivals like the Intel Core i9-9900K (deltaPct 0.7%) and Intel Core i7-12700H (deltaPct 0.8%). This proximity in synthetic benchmarks suggests that the Ryzen 7 5700 is well-matched to its peers, but in gaming, the actual FPS will depend on how the game engine utilizes the available threads.

The CPU's TDP of 65 W and dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s are modest, yet the benchmark results indicate that it can sustain high frame rates in this game. At 1440p High, the combo delivers 131.9 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold, showing that the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at mid-range resolutions. The 3dmark 16-thread score of 6628 and max-thread score of 6617 demonstrate consistent multi-threaded performance, which is likely why the game's simulation aspects do not cause frame drops even at higher presets.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 5700 with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 343rd out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. That places it in the top 19.4% of all configurations tested, which is a strong showing given the game's simulation nature. The rank of 343 out of 1769 means that roughly 1426 other combos performed worse, putting this system in the upper quintile of performance.

The ranking is notable because the CPU and GPU both sit at the 84th percentile among their respective categories, yet the combo's rank of 343 suggests that the combination works well together without any significant bottleneck. In many games, a pairing of a mid-range CPU with a high-end GPU can result in CPU limitations at lower resolutions, but here the Ryzen 7 5700's 8-core/16-thread design seems sufficient to keep up with the RTX 4070 SUPER's output. The fact that the combo outperforms 80.6% of tested systems indicates that this is a balanced setup for Pc Building Simulator, where the simulation logic can be demanding but the graphics workload is also significant.

The rank also implies that there are 342 combos that perform better, likely featuring more powerful CPUs or GPUs, but the delta in performance may not be large given the game's overall frame rates. For instance, the 4K Ultra result of 62.3 FPS is already near the playable threshold, so higher-ranked combos would need to achieve significantly higher FPS to justify their position. The data suggests that this combo is well-optimized for the game's requirements, striking a balance between CPU and GPU capabilities.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers the following average FPS: Low 330.1, Medium 289.3, High 207.1, and Ultra 195.7. The drop from Low to Medium is 40.8 FPS (12.4% reduction), from Medium to High is 82.2 FPS (28.4% reduction), and from High to Ultra is 11.4 FPS (5.5% reduction). This indicates that the most significant performance hit occurs when moving from Medium to High, while the Ultra preset is only slightly more demanding than High at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low 256.2, Medium 181.1, High 131.9, and Ultra 122.7. The reduction from Low to Medium is 75.1 FPS (29.3% reduction), from Medium to High is 49.2 FPS (27.2% reduction), and from High to Ultra is 9.2 FPS (7.0% reduction). The pattern shifts slightly, with a more even distribution of performance loss across presets compared to 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low 133.4, Medium 94.8, High 65.9, and Ultra 62.3. The reduction from Low to Medium is 38.6 FPS (28.9% reduction), from Medium to High is 28.9 FPS (30.5% reduction), and from High to Ultra is 3.6 FPS (5.5% reduction). This shows that the High to Ultra gap narrows at 4K, suggesting that the GPU is already saturated at High settings, and Ultra adds minimal additional load.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured data suggests that for 1080p displays, the High preset (207.1 FPS) offers an excellent balance, as it provides a 11.4 FPS improvement over Ultra while still maintaining a very high frame rate. However, the jump from Medium (289.3 FPS) to High (207.1 FPS) is substantial, so users with high refresh rate monitors (144Hz or higher) may prefer Medium to stay well above the refresh rate threshold. The Ultra preset at 195.7 FPS is only marginally lower than High, so if visual fidelity is prioritized, Ultra is a reasonable choice without a major performance penalty.

For 1440p, the Medium preset (181.1 FPS) appears to be the sweet spot, as it delivers a frame rate that is 37.3% higher than High (131.9 FPS) while still offering improved visuals over Low (256.2 FPS). The Ultra preset at 122.7 FPS is still playable and only 7.0% lower than High, so users with 144Hz displays might consider High or Ultra if they can tolerate slightly lower frame rates.

For 4K, the Low preset (133.4 FPS) is the only one that clearly exceeds 60 FPS with significant headroom. The Medium preset (94.8 FPS) is also viable for 60Hz displays, but High (65.9 FPS) and Ultra (62.3 FPS) are close to the 60 FPS threshold and may experience occasional dips below it. Given the small difference between High and Ultra at 4K (5.5%), the Ultra preset is recommended for 4K users who want maximum visual quality, as the performance cost is minimal. However, for consistent smoothness, Medium at 4K is the better choice, offering a 43.8% improvement over High while still looking good.
