Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 delivers a fundamentally imbalanced experience in Pc Building Simulator, where the processor’s substantial headroom is capped by the graphics card’s modest throughput. The data shows a combo ranking of 1664 out of 1769 tested configurations, placing it in the lower percentile of all pairings. This section breaks down how each component’s specifications influence the measured frame rates, followed by a FAQ, ranking analysis, and precise FPS breakdown.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael) using a 5 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. It supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s and provides 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes. Its benchmark scores are strong: Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 29,302, while single-core hits 4,136; PassMark multithread scores 34,470, with single-thread at 4,063.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 7700 sits in a tight cluster. It scores 0.1% above the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H (40,431 avg) and 0.5% above the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (40,262 avg). It trails the Intel Core i9-13905H by 0.6% (40,712 avg) but leads the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T by 1.2% (39,995 avg). With a percentile rank of 91 against all CPUs, this processor is clearly high-end. For Pc Building Simulator, a simulation game, the CPU handles game logic, building simulation, and system interactions. The 16 threads and high boost clock suggest the 7700 is more than capable of feeding frames, but the measured FPS data indicates it is not the limiting factor here. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 107.6 FPS, which is respectable, but at 4K Ultra it drops to 19.5 FPS, revealing that the GPU is the primary constraint. The CPU’s PassMark data compression score of 405,084 and integer math score of 110,295 further indicate its processing strength, which is largely underutilized in this pairing.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is a Turing-architecture chip (TU117) built on a 12 nm process. It has 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1485 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz, with memory running at 2001 MHz (8 Gbps effective). It features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s. Its compute capabilities include 2.984 TFLOPS FP32 and 5.967 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). The card is rated for a TDP of 75 W and requires a suggested PSU of 250 W.

The GTX 1650’s benchmark results place it in the lower-middle tier. Its PassMark G3D score is 7,880, with a percentile rank of 43 against all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile (avg score 8,746, deltaPct -0.4%), AMD Radeon 550X (8,749, -0.4%), NVIDIA Quadro P2200 (8,671, +0.5%), and AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 (8,761, -0.5%). The 4 GB VRAM is a critical limitation for a simulation game that may hold textures and assets in memory. In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU renders the workshop environment, PC components, and UI elements. The measured FPS shows a clear scaling pattern: at 1080p Low the combo achieves 107.6 FPS, but at 4K High it falls to 20.8 FPS. The 4 GB frame buffer likely becomes saturated at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the steep drop from 68 FPS at 1440p Low to 31.1 FPS at 1440p Ultra. This is a GPU-bound scenario where the CPU’s power cannot compensate.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1664 out of 1769 tested configurations places this pairing firmly in the lower tier of systems for Pc Building Simulator. With 1769 total combos, this rank means the Ryzen 7 7700 + GTX 1650 outperforms only about 105 other configurations. The CPU’s percentile rank of 91 suggests it is a top-tier processor, but the GPU’s percentile rank of 43 drags the overall performance down. The data indicates a severe bottleneck: while the CPU can handle the simulation’s logic with ease, the GPU cannot keep pace at higher resolutions. For context, the CPU’s nearest rivals (e.g., Ryzen 9 7940H) all have similar average scores, but their pairing with more capable GPUs would yield better FPS. This combo’s low rank is almost entirely attributable to the GPU’s 4 GB VRAM and modest compute power. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (107.6) shows the CPU can drive high frame rates, but the GPU’s limits emerge quickly as settings increase. At 1440p, the combo drops from 68 FPS on Low to 31.1 on Ultra, a 54% reduction. At 4K, the highest setting (Low) yields only 36.8 FPS, which is playable but far from smooth. This rank reflects a system that is CPU-overqualified and GPU-underpowered for the game’s demands.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo shows its best performance: Low settings deliver 107.6 FPS, Medium 78, High 56.4, and Ultra 51.4. This resolution is the only one where the combo consistently exceeds 50 FPS across all settings. At 2560x1440, performance drops significantly: Low achieves 68 FPS, Medium 48.4, High 36.4, and Ultra 31.1. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 36.9 FPS, highlighting the GPU’s sensitivity to settings. At 3840x2160, the combo struggles: Low yields 36.8 FPS, Medium 24.7, High 20.8, and Ultra 19.5. The difference between 1080p Low and 4K Low is 70.8 FPS, a 66% reduction. Similarly, 1440p Low (68) is nearly double 4K Low (36.8). The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is a 37% drop, while 1440p to 4K at Low is a 46% drop. These numbers indicate that the 4 GB VRAM and 128.1 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for 4K rendering, even at Low. The GPU’s FP32 of 2.984 TFLOPS likely limits pixel throughput at higher resolutions. The data reveals a consistent pattern: each step up in resolution or settings reduces FPS by a substantial margin, with the most severe penalties at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal experience depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the combo can handle Ultra settings at 51.4 FPS, which is playable for a simulation game. For a smoother experience, High at 56.4 FPS offers a slight improvement, while Medium at 78 FPS provides a significant boost with minimal visual trade-offs. Low at 107.6 FPS is ideal for maximum fluidity, but the visual quality loss may not be worth it. At 2560x1440, the best compromise is Medium at 48.4 FPS, which stays above 30 FPS and balances detail. High at 36.4 FPS is still playable, but Ultra at 31.1 FPS is borderline. Low at 68 FPS is the only setting that provides a comfortable margin. At 3840x2160, no setting achieves 60 FPS; Low at 36.8 FPS is the only viable option, as Medium (24.7), High (20.8), and Ultra (19.5) all drop below playable thresholds. For the best experience per the data, 1080p Medium (78 FPS) offers the highest frame rate with acceptable visual quality, while 1440p Low (68 FPS) is the recommended choice for higher resolution with playable performance. Given the GPU’s 4 GB VRAM, users should prioritize lower settings at higher resolutions to avoid memory bottlenecks. The data suggests avoiding 4K entirely unless using Low, as the frame rates are too low for a smooth simulation experience.
