Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that leans on CPU and GPU performance in a relatively balanced way, but the data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combo reveals a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions while still delivering exceptional frame rates. This pairing ranks 463rd out of 1769 tested combinations, placing it in the 74th percentile of all tested systems for this game. The measured FPS data shows that this combo can push beyond 300 FPS at 1080p on low settings, yet drops to just 58 FPS at 4K Ultra, indicating that the RTX 4070's memory bandwidth and compute resources become the primary constraint as resolution scales.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 463 out of 1769 tested configurations places it comfortably in the upper tier of systems for Pc Building Simulator. While it does not crack the top 25%, the rank reflects a system that handles the game's simulation logic and rendering demands without bottlenecking at mainstream resolutions. The data shows a clear pattern: this combo delivers playable performance at 4K (61.4 FPS on High) and exceptional performance at 1440p (117.2 FPS on High), which aligns with its mid-to-high tier ranking. However, the gap between 1080p and 4K performance is substantial, suggesting that the GPU is the limiting factor for this pairing.

This suggests the RTX 4070 is a strong mid-range performer, but not a top-tier one, which explains the 463rd overall rank.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. With a TDP of 65 watts, it is an efficient part that provides substantial multi-threaded performance for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, which must track numerous system components and their interactions. The CPU's benchmark scores show strong multi-threaded capability: it scores 22620 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 9500 in Cinebench R20 multi-core, with a PassMark multithread score of 26612. These numbers indicate that the CPU can handle the game's simulation logic without becoming a bottleneck, especially when compared to its rivals. The Ryzen 7 5700X scores 0.1% higher than the Intel Core i9-11900KF in average benchmark score, and 0.2% higher than the AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT, meaning it delivers comparable single- and multi-threaded performance to these alternatives. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is to manage the game's underlying simulation, and with 16 threads available, it has ample headroom. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache also helps with rapid data access for game state updates. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking against all CPUs reinforces that it is a capable part, and the data shows that at 1080p, the combo achieves 340.9 FPS on Low settings, which is likely CPU-limited at that point, but the CPU still delivers enough throughput to avoid stutter.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with 5888 shading units and 64 ROPs. Its memory configuration is critical for Pc Building Simulator, as the game renders detailed 3D models of PC components and case interiors, which requires substantial memory bandwidth at higher resolutions. The GPU's benchmark scores show it is a solid performer: it scores 26927 in PassMark G3D and 3854 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, with a PassMark GPU compute score of 14720. These scores place it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs, and it performs 2.5% better than the AMD Radeon RX 5300M but 0.6% worse than the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56. In the measured FPS data, the GPU's influence is clear when comparing resolutions. At 1080p on Ultra, the combo hits 175.1 FPS, while at 4K on Ultra, it drops to 58 FPS, a 67% reduction. This drop is primarily due to the GPU's rendering workload increasing with pixel count, and the 12 GB VRAM buffer is sufficient for the game's textures at all tested settings. The RTX 4070's 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth becomes a limiting factor at 4K, as the data shows the FPS scaling is not linear with resolution, indicating the GPU is the primary constraint.

A: The RTX 4070 scores 37283 on average, which is 2.5% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 5300M (36371) but 0.6% lower than the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507). This places it in a competitive mid-range tier.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling across resolutions. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS drops by approximately 37% on High settings (from 186 to 117.2 FPS), and from 1440p to 4K, it drops by another 48% (from 117.2 to 61.4 FPS). This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component, as pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K, but FPS does not decrease proportionally. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 340.9 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of driving very high frame rates, but as resolution increases, the GPU's workload becomes more demanding. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the system only manages 58 FPS, which is a 83% reduction from 1080p Low. This pattern is consistent with the GPU's 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth being sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but becoming a constraint at 4K, especially at higher settings. The CPU's performance, on the other hand, does not appear to be a bottleneck, as the FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p is less severe than the drop from 1440p to 4K, indicating the GPU is saturating its resources at the highest resolution.

Settings Recommendations

For users seeking the best experience, the data suggests that High settings at 1440p offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, delivering 117.2 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold and provides a smooth experience. At 4K, High settings are also viable, with an average of 61.4 FPS, but this is close to the threshold where frame drops may become noticeable. Ultra settings at 1440p still deliver 110.2 FPS, which is playable, but the marginal visual improvement over High may not justify the 6% performance drop. At 1080p, all settings are well above 175 FPS, so users can max out the game without concern. Low settings at any resolution are only recommended for competitive play or if the user has a high refresh rate monitor, as the combo achieves 340.9 FPS at 1080p Low, which is overkill for most displays. Medium settings provide a middle ground, with 261.4 FPS at 1080p and 164.2 FPS at 1440p, but the data shows that High settings offer only a marginal FPS reduction (29% from Medium at 1440p) while providing better visual fidelity.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. On Low settings, the average FPS is 340.9, which drops to 261.4 on Medium, 186 on High, and 175.1 on Ultra. This represents a 49% reduction from Low to Ultra, indicating that the GPU is scaling well with settings. At 2560x1440, the average FPS ranges from 230.2 on Low to 110.2 on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is 52%, slightly steeper than at 1080p, showing that the GPU is working harder at this resolution. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 122.6 on Low to 58 on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is 53%, and notably, the 4K Ultra performance of 58 FPS is the only measured result below the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows that the combo can handle 4K High at 61.4 FPS, but Ultra pushes it slightly below the playable threshold. The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low shows a 64% FPS reduction (from 340.9 to 122.6), while 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra shows a 67% reduction (from 175.1 to 58). This indicates that the GPU's performance degrades more severely at higher settings and resolutions, which is typical for a mid-range card like the RTX 4070.
