Q: What is the difference in average FPS between 1080p and 4K at High settings?

A: At 1920x1080 High settings, the combo achieves 215 FPS. At 3840x2160 High settings, it drops to 71 FPS. This represents a 67% reduction in frame rate when moving from 1080p to 4K.

Q: Is there a measurable FPS difference between Medium and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: Yes. At 2560x1440, the Medium preset delivers an average of 193 FPS, while the Ultra preset delivers 130 FPS. This shows a 63 FPS (or roughly 33%) performance cost for enabling the highest settings.

Q: Does the RTX 4070 Ti's VRAM capacity appear to be a limiting factor at 4K Ultra settings?

A: The data shows a significant performance drop at 4K Ultra (68 FPS) compared to 4K High (71 FPS) and 4K Medium (101 FPS), suggesting that the combination of high resolution and maximum settings places a substantial load on the GPU. The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory is sufficient to run the game, but the performance scaling indicates the GPU's processing power, rather than memory capacity, is the primary constraint at this extreme setting.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti achieves a rank of 493 out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the configuration in the top 13% of all tested systems, a strong showing that underscores its high-end positioning. The percentileVsAllCpus for the Ryzen 7 5800XT is 81, meaning it outperforms 81% of all CPUs in the database, while the RTX 4070 Ti's percentileVsAllGpus is 84, outperforming 84% of all GPUs.

However, the rank of 493 is not higher, which is reflective of the game's specific demands. Simulation titles often rely heavily on CPU performance for game logic and physics, but Pc Building Simulator also has significant graphical rendering requirements. The data suggests that while this combo is very capable, there are 492 other configurations that deliver a higher average FPS, likely featuring even more powerful CPUs or GPUs that can push frame rates higher at lower resolutions. The combo's rank indicates a balanced but not top-tier pairing for this specific title, as the CPU's 81st percentile and GPU's 84th percentile, while both high, do not combine to create a top-10 finish. The measured FPS data shows the system is more than capable of delivering high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, but the rank suggests that for the absolute highest performance, other components may have a slight edge.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the primary driver of visual fidelity and resolution scaling in this configuration. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s, which is a critical factor when rendering at 4K. The card's core clocks are set to a base of 2310 MHz and a boost of 2610 MHz, and its 7680 shading units are tasked with processing the game's geometry and textures.

The GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as the resolution and settings increase. At 1080p, the CPU can keep up with the GPU, allowing frame rates to scale into the 300+ FPS territory. However, at 4K, the GPU's workload becomes much more intensive. The measured FPS shows a clear progression: at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 68, which is a significant drop from the 101 FPS at 4K Medium. This indicates that the GPU's compute capabilities, specifically its FP32 throughput of 40.09 TFLOPS, are being fully utilized at the highest settings. The data suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti is not a limiting factor at 1080p or 1440p, where it delivers excellent results, but it is the definitive bottleneck at 4K, where the performance ceiling is reached due to the GPU's rendering workload.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at the combo's performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system is clearly CPU-bound at lower settings, as the frame rates are exceptionally high. The Low preset achieves an average of 356 FPS, while Medium drops to 305 FPS (min 259, max 351). High settings yield 215 FPS, and Ultra produces 205 FPS. The small gap between High and Ultra (10 FPS) suggests that the GPU is starting to become more involved, but the CPU still has headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the system remains highly playable, but the GPU begins to assert its influence. The Low preset hits 272 FPS, Medium averages 193 FPS (min 164, max 222), High drops to 136 FPS, and Ultra falls to 130 FPS. The scaling here is more linear, showing that the GPU is handling the increased pixel count. The gap between Medium and High is 57 FPS, and between High and Ultra is just 6 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional effects have a minimal impact on the GPU at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is the undisputed bottleneck. The Low preset still manages an impressive 142 FPS, but the Medium preset drops to 101 FPS (min 86, max 116). High settings yield 71 FPS, and Ultra drops to 68 FPS. The performance degradation from 1440p to 4K is severe, with High settings falling from 136 FPS to 71 FPS. This indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB of VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient, but the raw compute power is stretched thin at 4K, especially when enabling higher quality settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates the transition from a CPU-bound scenario to a GPU-bound one. At High settings, the system delivers 215 FPS at 1080p, 136 FPS at 1440p, and 71 FPS at 4K. This represents a 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 48% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, which is typical, but the magnitude of the drop at 4K indicates that the GPU is struggling to maintain the same level of performance.

Looking at the Low preset, the scaling is also steep: 356 FPS at 1080p, 272 FPS at 1440p, and 142 FPS at 4K. The fact that Low settings at 4K (142 FPS) is still higher than High settings at 4K (71 FPS) shows that the game's visual effects are a major drain on the GPU. The data suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at high frame rates, but the GPU's rendering pipeline becomes the limiting factor as the pixel count increases. The 4K results, which hover around the 68-71 FPS mark for High and Ultra, suggest that the RTX 4070 Ti is hitting a performance wall at this resolution, where the combination of pixel fill rate (208.8 GPixel/s) and texture rate (626.4 GTexel/s) is insufficient to push frame rates higher without reducing settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT serves as the central processing unit, and its performance is critical for the simulation aspects of Pc Building Simulator. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, it operates at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache is a key asset for gaming, and its benchmark scores reflect its strength: the Cinebench R23 multicore score is 23794, and the single-core score is 3359.

In this game, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions. The high frame rates at 1080p (e.g., 356 FPS on Low) are only achievable if the CPU can process the game's logic and issue draw calls fast enough. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's strong single-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 959) ensures it can handle this task. The data shows that the CPU is not a bottleneck at 1440p or 4K, as the frame rates are limited by the GPU. However, the CPU's headroom is clearly demonstrated by the fact that frame rates at 1080p are nearly double those at 1440p, indicating that the CPU is capable of producing many more frames than the GPU can render at higher resolutions. The CPU's performance is sufficient to keep the RTX 4070 Ti well-fed at 1080p and 1440p, but the GPU's workload becomes the sole limiting factor at 4K. The CPU's 105W TDP and 7nm process node are typical for a high-end desktop part, and its performance places it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs, confirming its capability as a solid partner for this GPU.
