Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT delivers a smooth and highly responsive experience across all tested settings, but the data clearly identifies a sweet spot. At 1080p and 1440p, the Ultra preset provides a visually superior experience while still maintaining frame rates well above 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for most users. At 4K, however, the High preset is the better option, as it keeps the average frame rate above 48 FPS, whereas Ultra dips below 46 FPS. The Low preset is only useful for extreme frame rate maximization, pushing past 300 FPS at 1080p but sacrificing the visual fidelity that this simulation genre benefits from.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results indicate that the Ultra preset is the optimal choice for this configuration at 1080p and 1440p. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset yields an average of 148.3 FPS, which is only 3.3 FPS less than the High preset's 151.6 FPS. The visual quality jump from High to Ultra is substantial in a game focused on detailed hardware models, and the performance cost is negligible. The story is similar at 2560x1440, where Ultra produces 89.9 FPS compared to High's 96.3 FPS. Both are excellent, but Ultra's marginal 6.4 FPS deficit is a worthy trade for maximum graphical fidelity.

The Medium preset offers a middle ground, delivering 217 FPS at 1080p and 138.7 FPS at 1440p. While these are impressive numbers, they do not offer a meaningful advantage over Ultra at these resolutions. The Low preset, while capable of 306.9 FPS at 1080p and 191.8 FPS at 1440p, is not recommended for an optimal experience. The frame rate gains over Ultra are significant, but they come at the cost of visual quality that is integral to the game's theme of showcasing PC components.

At 4K (3840x2160), the recommendation shifts. The High preset, with an average of 48.5 FPS, is the best balance of quality and performance. The Ultra preset at this resolution drops to 45.7 FPS, which is below the 48.5 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for a smooth experience. The Medium preset at 4K produces 69.4 FPS, but the drop in visual quality from High is more noticeable at this high resolution. Therefore, High is the recommended setting for 4K, offering a playable and visually rich experience.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is the primary driver of performance in Pc Building Simulator, as evidenced by the scaling of frame rates with resolution. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, is sufficient for the game's textures and assets at all tested settings. The RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on a 5 nm process, operates with a base clock of 1435 MHz and a boost clock of 2544 MHz, with a game clock of 2171 MHz. These clocks allow the GPU to maintain high frame rates, particularly at lower resolutions.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 30097. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, which has a nearly identical average score of 30109, representing a 0% delta. This indicates that the RX 7700 XT's performance is very competitive in its class. The data shows that this GPU is not a bottleneck at 1080p, where the CPU's performance becomes more relevant, but it becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases to 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT ranks 788th out of 1769 tested combos for Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the upper-middle tier of all configurations tested, indicating that it is a competent but not top-tier pairing for this game. The 91st percentile ranking of the CPU and the 73rd percentile ranking of the GPU relative to their respective categories suggest that the CPU is a stronger component in this pairing.

The data implies that while this combo provides a very good experience in Pc Building Simulator, there are many other combinations that can achieve higher frame rates. The rank of 788 out of 1769 means that over 900 other tested combos performed better. This is not a criticism of the hardware, but rather a reflection of the fact that high-end components like the Ryzen 9 7940H or RTX 5070 Mobile, which are close rivals to these parts, can offer more performance. For a game that is not graphically demanding, the CPU's strong performance helps this combo punch above its weight in the rankings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly demonstrates the increasing load on the GPU. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 151.6 FPS at 1920x1080, to 96.3 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 48.5 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 68% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K. This significant drop indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings. For instance, with the Ultra preset, performance drops from 148.3 FPS at 1080p to 89.9 FPS at 1440p, and then to 45.7 FPS at 4K. The trend shows that the gap between resolutions widens as the resolution increases, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. The data suggests that the CPU has less of an impact on performance as the resolution and graphical load increase, as the GPU's rendering capabilities become the bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following data is a direct measurement of the average frame rates achieved by this configuration.

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 306.9 FPS
• Medium: 217 FPS
• High: 151.6 FPS
• Ultra: 148.3 FPS

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 191.8 FPS
• Medium: 138.7 FPS
• High: 96.3 FPS
• Ultra: 89.9 FPS

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 100.3 FPS
• Medium: 69.4 FPS
• High: 48.5 FPS
• Ultra: 45.7 FPS

These numbers illustrate the performance hierarchy of the presets. The Low preset is always the fastest, followed by Medium, High, and finally Ultra. The differences between presets are more pronounced at lower resolutions, where the CPU and GPU have more headroom. At 4K, the performance gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 2.8 FPS, while at 1080p, the gap between Low and Medium is 89.9 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 plays a crucial role in ensuring high frame rates, particularly at lower resolutions. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, it can handle the game's simulation and logic tasks efficiently. Its boost clock of 5.30 GHz and base clock of 3.80 GHz provide strong single-threaded performance, which is often important in simulation games. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce memory latency.

The CPU's benchmark results are strong, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29302 and single-core score of 4136 indicate robust processing power. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, has an average benchmark score that is only 0.1% lower, showing the 7700's competitive standing. At 1080p with Low settings, the combination reaches 306.9 FPS, a frame rate that is only achievable if the CPU can feed the GPU with enough data. This indicates that the CPU is not a significant bottleneck in this game, and its strong performance ensures that the GPU can be fully utilized, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU workload is lighter.
