Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a robust experience in Pc Building Simulator, with measured frame rates that comfortably exceed display refresh rates at most settings and resolutions. This combination ranks 554th out of 3723 tested combos, placing it in the top 15% of all configurations tested for this simulation title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data for this combination shows that Pc Building Simulator is remarkably forgiving at higher resolutions, which shifts the recommended preset based on the target display. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 195 FPS, while the High preset produces 205 FPS. The difference between these two presets is only 10 FPS, yet Ultra typically includes additional visual effects that make the simulation environment more immersive. Given that both presets maintain averages well above 144 Hz refresh rates, Ultra is the sensible choice for 1080p displays. The Medium preset at 290 FPS and Low at 408 FPS are unnecessary for typical 60-144 Hz monitors, as the visual quality reduction is substantial relative to the frame rate gains.

At 2560x1440, the recommendation shifts slightly. The Ultra preset averages 123 FPS, which is sufficient for 120 Hz displays but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The High preset averages 129 FPS, a marginal 6 FPS improvement. Both are playable, but the data suggests that High is the safer recommendation for 1440p if the user has a 144 Hz monitor, as the 123 FPS average at Ultra may dip below the refresh threshold during complex build sequences. The Medium preset at 183 FPS provides a comfortable margin for 144 Hz displays, and the min FPS of 155 recorded at this setting indicates consistent frame delivery. For users prioritizing smoothness over maximum visual fidelity, Medium at 1440p is the most balanced choice. Low at 258 FPS is excessive for any current display technology.

At 3840x2160, the measured results show a clear demarcation. The High preset averages 67 FPS, which is suitable for 60 Hz displays but not for higher refresh rates. The Ultra preset averages 64 FPS, nearly identical to High. The Medium preset averages 96 FPS with a min of 81 FPS, making it the only 4K setting that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS with headroom. The Low preset at 135 FPS is playable but sacrifices too much visual detail for a simulation game where readability of components matters. For 4K, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it delivers a 43% improvement over High in average frame rate while maintaining the min FPS above 80. The data indicates that this game is not particularly demanding at 4K, but the step from Medium to High incurs a significant frame rate penalty that is not justified by the visual upgrade in a simulation context.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor supports DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU workload is primarily focused on simulating component interactions, power calculations, and thermal dynamics. The benchmark results for this processor indicate strong multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 18760 points in the multi-core test and 1930 points in the single-core test. The 3DMark results show a 16-thread score of 8484, an 8-thread score of 6933, a 4-thread score of 3931, and a 2-thread score of 2043. The single-thread 3DMark score is 1049. The PassMark multi-thread score is 34470, with a single-thread score of 4063.

The game’s simulation logic is largely single-threaded, but the 16 threads allow for background tasks such as OS overhead and monitoring software to run without interfering with the game’s main loop. The measured frame rates at 1080p Low (408 FPS) indicate that the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions, as the game’s logic can be processed quickly enough to feed the GPU at very high frame rates. The 8-core design provides a balanced workload distribution, and the high boost clock of 5.30 GHz ensures that single-threaded simulation ticks are processed with minimal latency.

The processor’s percentile ranking of 87 among all CPUs indicates it performs better than 87% of tested processors. Its average benchmark score is 40081, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (deltaPct 0.1%), Intel Core 5 221E (deltaPct -0.2%), AMD Ryzen 9 270 (deltaPct -0.4%), and Intel Core i9-13905H (deltaPct -0.6%). These deltas are all within 1% of the Ryzen 7 7700’s average score, suggesting that the processor’s performance is tightly clustered with these competitors in synthetic benchmarks. For Pc Building Simulator, the CPU’s strong single-thread performance is the primary contributor to the high frame rates observed, especially at 1080p where the GPU has spare capacity.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is part of the GeForce 40-series, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD104 chip at a 5 nm process. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s.

The card has 7168 shading units, 224 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 56 RT cores, and 224 tensor cores. Its FP32 compute is rated at 35.48 TFLOPS, with a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s. The TDP is 220 W, requiring a 550 W suggested PSU.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU’s role is less about rendering complex geometry and more about displaying the workshop environment, component models, and user interface elements. The measured frame rates show that the GPU is capable of handling 4K resolution at Medium settings with an average of 96 FPS, which is notable for a simulation game that does not feature high-detail environments. The GPU’s 12 GB VRAM is ample for this game, as the memory usage is unlikely to exceed a few gigabytes even at 4K Ultra.

The GPU’s benchmark scores reflect its mid-to-high-end positioning. In PassMark, it scores 29995 in G3D and 17108 in GPU compute. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 4627. Geekbench scores include 172795 in OpenCL and 205624 in Vulkan. The GPU’s percentile ranking is 83, meaning it outperforms 83% of all GPUs tested. Its average benchmark score is 43223, with nearest rivals including the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (deltaPct -0.1%), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (deltaPct -0.1%), NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (deltaPct -0.2%), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (deltaPct -1%). The deltaPct values are negative, indicating the RTX 4070 SUPER has a slightly higher average score than these rivals, though the differences are minimal (less than 1% for the first three).

For this game, the GPU’s performance headroom is evident at 1080p, where even the Ultra preset achieves 195 FPS. The RTX 4070 SUPER is overkill for 1080p in this title, but it provides a smooth experience at 1440p and 4K without requiring aggressive settings compromises. The 12 GB VRAM capacity ensures that texture quality at 4K does not cause memory pressure, and the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth supports fast data transfer for texture streaming during component previews.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 554th out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the combo in the 85th percentile of all combinations tested, meaning it outperforms approximately 85% of the tested systems. The rank reflects the balanced nature of the pairing, where neither component is severely bottlenecked by the other in this simulation title.

The high rank is attributable to the CPU’s strong single-threaded performance and the GPU’s ability to handle high resolutions with ease. In a game like Pc Building Simulator, where the simulation logic is not heavily threaded, the Ryzen 7 7700’s 5.30 GHz boost clock provides the necessary responsiveness. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth allow for high-resolution rendering without compromising texture quality.

Comparatively, the combo’s rank of 554 suggests that while there are many faster configurations, the vast majority of tested systems (3169 combos) perform worse. The gap between this combo and the top-ranked systems is likely due to CPUs with higher single-thread scores or GPUs with higher rasterization throughput, but for the target audience of Pc Building Simulator, the measured frame rates are more than sufficient. The data shows that this combo maintains an average FPS above 60 at 4K Ultra, which is a key threshold for playability.

The rank also indicates that the CPU and GPU are well matched for this game. The CPU’s percentile rank of 87 and the GPU’s percentile rank of 83 are closely aligned, suggesting that neither component is a significant weak point. If the CPU were much weaker, the frame rates at 1080p would likely be lower, and if the GPU were weaker, the 4K performance would suffer. The measured results confirm that this pairing delivers consistent performance across all resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows how the combination scales across three resolutions. At 1080p, the average FPS ranges from 195 (Ultra) to 408 (Low). At 1440p, the range is 123 (Ultra) to 258 (Low). At 4K, the range is 64 (Ultra) to 135 (Low). The scaling from 1080p to 1440p reduces the average FPS by approximately 37% at the Low preset (408 to 258), 37% at Medium (290 to 183), 37% at High (205 to 129), and 37% at Ultra (195 to 123). This consistent percentage drop indicates that the GPU becomes more utilized as resolution increases, but the game’s CPU-bound nature at lower resolutions means the GPU has spare capacity.

Scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a larger drop: Low goes from 258 to 135 (a 48% decrease), Medium from 183 to 96 (a 48% decrease), High from 129 to 67 (a 48% decrease), and Ultra from 123 to 64 (a 48% decrease). The consistent 48% drop across all settings suggests that at 4K, the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the increased pixel count demands more shading and memory bandwidth. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 504.2 GB/s bandwidth and 35.48 TFLOPS compute are sufficient for 4K Medium, but the step to High or Ultra incurs a substantial penalty.

The data reveals that at 1080p, the CPU is the limiting component, as the frame rates exceed 400 FPS at Low, which is beyond what most GPUs can render in more demanding titles. The Ryzen 7 7700’s single-thread performance of 1930 in Cinebench R23 and 4063 in PassMark single-thread allows the simulation logic to run at high speeds, but the GPU is underutilized at lower resolutions. At 1440p, the balance shifts, with the GPU becoming more significant but still not fully saturated. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, as the frame rates at Ultra (64 FPS) and High (67 FPS) are close, indicating that the GPU is rendering as fast as it can with those settings.

The min FPS data is only available for the Medium preset at each resolution: 246 at 1080p, 155 at 1440p, and 81 at 4K. These values show that even at the minimum, the frame rate remains above 60 FPS at all resolutions for Medium settings, which is a positive indicator for consistency. The delta between average and min FPS is 44 at 1080p, 28 at 1440p, and 15 at 4K, suggesting that frame pacing becomes more consistent as the GPU becomes more loaded.
