Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination occupies the 1094th position out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the lower-middle tier of the database, indicating that while the pairing is functional, it does not deliver top-tier performance in this specific simulation title. The combo’s rank suggests that the RTX 2070 SUPER, despite being a capable card in its own right, limits the overall experience when paired with the Ryzen 7 7700’s substantial processing power. The data shows a noticeable imbalance, where the CPU’s potential is not fully utilized by the GPU’s output, particularly at higher resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1094 out of 1769 places it in the 38th percentile of all tested pairings in this game. This is a modest result, indicating that roughly 62% of combos outperform it. The ranking reflects the GPU’s standing in the broader hardware landscape; the RTX 2070 SUPER sits in the 65th percentile against all GPUs, but the pairing with a high-end CPU like the Ryzen 7 7700 does not boost its standing in this simulation. In practical terms, the combo delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but it falls short of the high-refresh-rate territory that many other combos achieve. The gap between this combo and top performers is significant, as the rank implies a large delta in average FPS across the tested suite. For a game like Pc Building Simulator, which can be CPU-intensive during complex scene rendering, the Ryzen 7 7700’s strength is partially mitigated by the GPU’s inability to keep pace at higher settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the 12 nm Turing architecture with the TU104 chip. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1605 MHz, with a boost clock of 1770 MHz. In terms of raw compute, it offers 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, alongside 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. The data shows that this GPU is the primary bottleneck in this combo, especially at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra settings, the average FPS drops to 38.1, which is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. Even at 4K High settings, the average FPS of 42.4 indicates that the GPU is struggling to maintain fluid motion. The GPU’s performance is further highlighted by its benchmark scores, such as a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1651 and a PassMark G3D score of 18169. Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 2070 SUPER is 2.3% slower than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile and 2.5% faster than the AMD Radeon RX 5700. This positions it as a mid-range performer that can handle 1080p and 1440p gaming well but loses steam at 4K. The GPU’s 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for this game at most settings, but the 256-bit memory interface and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are not enough to prevent frame rate drops when resolution scaling increases.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a 7000-series processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The CPU is manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC, with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die. It supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The CPU’s benchmark results are impressive, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29302 and a single-core score of 4136. In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the CPU’s role is less prominent than the GPU’s, but it still matters. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves an average FPS of 245.2, which suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to reach high frame rates. However, as resolution increases, the CPU’s influence diminishes, and the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The Ryzen 7 7700’s 91st percentile ranking against all CPUs indicates that it is a high-end processor, but in this combo, it is underutilized. The CPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, scores only 0.1% higher on average, showing that the 7700 is competitive with top mobile processors. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample storage for game assets, but the bottleneck remains on the GPU side.

FAQ

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER has a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, provided by 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a clear pattern of frame rate scaling across resolutions, which highlights the GPU’s dominance in determining performance. At 1080p High settings, the combo averages 125.6 FPS, which is a strong result. Moving to 1440p High, the average FPS drops to 75.8, a 39.7% reduction. At 4K High, the average FPS falls to 42.4, a 66.2% reduction from 1080p. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the limiting component, as the CPU’s performance does not scale with resolution in the same way. The data also shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 245.2 FPS, which suggests that the CPU can push the GPU to its limits when graphical load is minimal. However, at 4K Low settings, the average FPS is 82.5, which is still a significant drop from 1080p Low. This pattern confirms that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for high-resolution gaming, while the Ryzen 7 7700’s processing power remains underutilized. The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K is not linear, with the largest percentage drop occurring between 1440p and 4K, where the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth become critical. For users targeting 4K, this combo would require lower settings to maintain playable frame rates, as the data shows that 4K Medium averages 59.6 FPS, which is borderline acceptable. The overall analysis indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming, where the GPU can deliver high frame rates without being overwhelmed by pixel count.
