Pc Building Simulator

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti places 1290th out of 1769 tested combinations in Pc Building Simulator. That ranking places this build in the lower third of the tested field, which is notable given the hardware involved. The CPU itself sits in the 91st percentile against all processors in the database, with an average benchmark score of 40468. That score is nearly identical to its closest rivals: the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H scores 40431 (just 0.1% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40262 (0.5% behind), and the Intel Core i9-13905H scores 40712 (0.6% ahead). The Intel Core Ultra 5 235T trails by 1.2% with a score of 39995.

The GPU, however, is less dominant in its peer group. The RTX 3060 Ti sits in the 69th percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25120. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the AMD Radeon RX 6700M scores 25180 (0.2% ahead), the AMD Radeon RX 6600 scores 25235 (0.5% ahead), the AMD Radeon 890M scores 25246 (0.5% ahead), and the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 25287 (0.7% ahead). The fact that the GPU's closest competitors are all within 0.7% suggests the RTX 3060 Ti is essentially tied with these parts in aggregate compute performance, yet the combo still ranks low in this specific game.

The rank disparity between the CPU's high percentile (91) and the combo's low game ranking (1290 of 1769) indicates that Pc Building Simulator is not heavily dependent on the processor's strengths. The Ryzen 7 7700's multi-threaded capabilities, shown in benchmarks like Cinebench R23 multicore scoring 29302 and Passmark multithread scoring 34470, are largely irrelevant to this title. Instead, the game's performance profile aligns more closely with the GPU's capabilities, which are merely average relative to the field. The data suggests that for this simulation title, the CPU is over-provisioned relative to what the game actually demands, while the GPU is the limiting factor that drags the overall combo ranking down.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The memory operates at 1750 MHz, which translates to 14 Gbps effective. The core clock runs at 1410 MHz base and 1665 MHz boost, built on the GA104 chip using Samsung's 8 nm process. The GPU's compute capabilities include 4864 shading units, 152 texture mapping units, 80 ROPs, 38 ray tracing cores, and 152 tensor cores. It delivers 16.20 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and an identical 16.20 TFLOPS for FP16, with a pixel rate of 133.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 253.1 GTexel/s.

In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role becomes clear when examining the measured FPS across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the RTX 3060 Ti delivers 224.4 FPS on Low settings, which drops to 106.5 FPS on Ultra — a reduction of roughly 53% from Low to Ultra. At 2560x1440, the spread narrows: 145.2 FPS on Low versus 67.4 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, with 72 FPS on Low dropping to 35 FPS on Ultra. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for this game, as the title's modest texture and geometry demands do not appear to exceed the memory buffer at any tested setting.

The GPU's FP32 compute of 16.20 TFLOPS and its memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s are the key specifications that correlate with the frame rates observed. The game's performance scaling from Low to Ultra suggests a compute-bound workload rather than a memory-bandwidth-bound one, since the frame rate drops are consistent with the increased shading and ray tracing load. The RTX 3060 Ti's 38 RT cores are present but underutilized, as Pc Building Simulator's rendering pipeline does not heavily leverage ray tracing features. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility are more than adequate for this title's requirements.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 110 FPS, which is a strong result for smooth gameplay while maintaining visual quality. The Ultra preset at this resolution yields 106.5 FPS, a modest 3.2% reduction from High, making Ultra a viable choice for users who prioritize image fidelity over the small frame rate difference. The Medium preset at 157.7 FPS offers a significant boost over High, but the visual compromise may not be worth the extra 47.7 FPS for most players.

At 2560x1440, the High preset produces 72.2 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold for comfortable play. The Ultra preset drops to 67.4 FPS, which is still playable but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes. The Medium preset at 97.8 FPS provides a much smoother experience, making it the recommended choice for 1440p if frame rate consistency is the priority. The Low preset at 145.2 FPS is excessive for this resolution, and the visual degradation outweighs the performance benefit.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more constrained. The High preset achieves 37.7 FPS, which is below the standard 60 FPS target and may cause noticeable stutter in fast-paced scenes. The Medium preset at 53.5 FPS is closer to playable but still not ideal. The Low preset at 72 FPS is the only 4K option that clears the 60 FPS threshold, though it requires significant visual compromises. For 4K gaming, the data suggests that Low or Medium settings are the practical choices, while High and Ultra are best reserved for static scenes or screenshots.

The best overall experience, balancing visual quality and frame rate, is the High preset at 2560x1440. It delivers 72.2 FPS, which is smooth for most players, and the visual fidelity at High is substantially better than Low or Medium without the steep performance penalty seen at Ultra. For users with 1080p displays, the Ultra preset at 106.5 FPS is recommended, as the performance cost over High is minimal while providing the best visual experience the game offers.
