Pc Building Simulator

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 sits at rank 471 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. That places this configuration in the top 26.6% of all systems tested, which is a strong showing for a pairing that is not at the absolute flagship tier. The combo outperforms roughly three-quarters of the tested field, making it a capable foundation for this simulation title.

Looking at the individual components, both parts are well above average in their respective categories. The Ryzen 7 5800X holds an 84th percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the RTX 4070 sits at the 81st percentile among all GPUs. The CPU's average benchmark score of 27606 places it effectively neck-and-neck with its nearest rivals: it is 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800, and only 0.4% behind both the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE and the Intel Core i7-13700H. The Intel Core i5-12600KF trails by a similarly narrow 0.8% margin. This tells us the processor is performing exactly where expected for its class, with no meaningful deviation from the pack.

The GPU side shows similar consistency. The RTX 4070's average benchmark score of 37283 is within 0.6% of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, and it sits 2.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5300M. The two other nearest rivals — the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A and the RTX 4080 Mobile — are 1.9% and 2.2% ahead respectively. These tight margins indicate the RTX 4070 is delivering benchmark results that align precisely with its tier, no more and no less.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, the data points decisively toward the High preset at 2560x1440. At this resolution, High settings produce 114.6 FPS average, which is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay in a simulation title where precision matters. Dropping to Medium at 1440p yields 167 FPS, but the visual fidelity loss is unlikely to be worth the extra frames in a game that is not a fast-twitch shooter.

If you prioritize maximum smoothness over visuals, the Low preset at 1920x1080 delivers 345.8 FPS, which is far beyond what any display can show. However, this is overkill for Pc Building Simulator, a genre where the player is mostly interacting with menus, part selection, and assembly animations rather than reacting to split-second events.

The Ultra preset is the outlier in the data. At 3840x2160, Ultra drops to 57.4 FPS, which is the only measured configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, Ultra still manages 108.8 FPS, but High at the same resolution gives you 5.8 more frames per second with only a marginal reduction in eye candy. The measured results suggest that High is the sweet spot for this combo, offering the best experiential quality without sacrificing frame rate.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck lies in this pairing. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 345.8 FPS at 1080p to 233 FPS at 1440p — a reduction of 32.6% — and then to 123.6 FPS at 4K, which is 64.3% lower than the 1080p figure. This steep decline as resolution increases indicates the GPU is the primary limiting factor at lower settings, where the CPU has enough headroom to feed frames quickly but the graphics card cannot keep pace with the increasing pixel count.

The pattern holds across all settings presets. At Ultra, the frame rate falls from 173.2 FPS at 1080p to 108.8 FPS at 1440p (a 37.2% drop), then to 57.4 FPS at 4K (a 66.9% drop from 1080p). The consistent percentage-based scaling across presets is classic GPU-bound behavior. If the CPU were the constraint, we would expect to see the 1080p and 1440p results converge more closely, since the processor's workload does not scale with resolution the way the GPU's does.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce 345.8 FPS, Medium hits 257.7 FPS, High reaches 183.7 FPS, and Ultra still manages 173.2 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is a modest 10.5 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional visual features are not particularly taxing at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very playable. Low settings hit 233 FPS, Medium achieves 167 FPS, High produces 114.6 FPS, and Ultra delivers 108.8 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra here is only 5.8 FPS, reinforcing that the High preset is the efficient choice — the Ultra preset's extra effects cost relatively little, but they also add little measurable benefit.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes. Low settings still manage 123.6 FPS, and Medium produces 84.7 FPS. High dips to 60.4 FPS, which is right at the edge of acceptable for most displays. Ultra falls to 57.4 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target and likely to be noticeable as occasional stutter. For 4K gaming, the data suggests sticking with Medium or High, depending on whether you prefer visual fidelity or a safer frame rate margin.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In Pc Building Simulator, this memory configuration is more than adequate — the game's scenes are not texture-heavy in the way that open-world titles are, and the 12 GB capacity ensures no memory-related stuttering even at 4K Ultra.

The GPU clock speeds tell a story of headroom. With a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, the card can push its 5888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units effectively. The 64 ROPs handle pixel output at 158.4 GPixel/s, which explains why the card scales predictably across resolutions. The 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is more than sufficient for a simulation game that does not rely on complex physics or particle effects.

The Ada Lovelace architecture's 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are largely idle in this title, as Pc Building Simulator does not heavily utilize ray tracing or DLSS. This means the RTX 4070 is not being pushed to its limits — the measured frame rates reflect the card's raw rasterization capability rather than any specialized features. The 200 W TDP and dual-slot cooler are appropriate for the workload.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5800X brings 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosting up to 4.70 GHz. In Pc Building Simulator, which is a simulation title that manages multiple systems and components simultaneously, the 16 threads provide enough parallel processing headroom. The benchmark data confirms this: the CPU scores 7586 in the 3DMark 16-thread test and 7578 at max threads, showing that scaling beyond 8 cores yields virtually no additional performance — the extra threads are not the bottleneck.

Single-thread performance is solid, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 943 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3327. This matters because simulation games often have a primary game thread that cannot be fully parallelized. The 5800X's strong single-core showing ensures that this thread is not starved, which is reflected in the high frame rates even at lower resolutions where CPU load is relatively higher.

The 32 MB of L3 cache is another asset. Pc Building Simulator involves frequent access to component data, and the large cache reduces memory latency for repeated lookups. The dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth is adequate — the game does not appear to be memory-bandwidth sensitive based on the consistent performance scaling. The CPU's 84th percentile ranking and its near-identical average score to its rivals (within 0.8% in all cases) indicate that this processor is delivering exactly the expected level of performance for its specifications.
