Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination delivers an exceptional performance profile in Pc Building Simulator, with benchmark results placing it firmly in the upper echelon of tested hardware configurations. The data shows a system that is never constrained by CPU limitations at any resolution, instead relying on the GPU to scale visuals from a staggering 408 FPS at 1080p Low to a playable 74 FPS at 4K Ultra. This pairing proves that even a simulation title, which can be CPU-bound by nature, is here handled with headroom to spare by an eight-core Zen 4 processor.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a desktop-class processor built on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, and manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The CPU has a 65 W TDP and is compatible with AMD Socket AM5, supporting DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The processor also includes 32 MB of shared L3 cache, and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, alongside 64 KB of L1 cache per core. The CPU’s integrated Radeon Graphics are present, but they are not the source of the measured frame rates in this data.

In Pc Building Simulator, the benchmark results indicate that the Ryzen 7 7700 is not the limiting factor. At 1080p with Low settings, the combination nearly reaches the refresh-rate ceiling of most monitors, delivering an average of 408 FPS. The CPU’s multi-threaded capacity is substantial, as shown by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18760 points and a Geekbench multi-core score of 15371 points. The single-thread performance is also strong, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1930 points, which is relevant for a simulation title that may rely on a primary thread for game logic updates. The data shows a 3DMark 16-threads score of 8484, which is nearly identical to the max-threads score of 8479, suggesting the CPU is well-utilized across its 16 threads.

The processor’s nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (0.1% higher), the Intel Core 5 221E (-0.2% lower), the AMD Ryzen 9 270 (-0.4% lower), and the Intel Core i9-13905H (-0.6% lower). These margins are narrow, but the Ryzen 7 7700 sits in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, indicating a high-performing part. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 40081, which is competitive with these rivals. In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the CPU’s capability is more than sufficient to keep up with the GPU, as evidenced by the frame rates at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data shows a clear progression from 1080p to 4K, with each resolution offering a different balance of CPU and GPU load. At 1920x1080, the CPU and GPU are both capable of producing very high frame rates. The Low preset yields an average of 408 FPS, the Medium preset 333 FPS, the High preset 235 FPS, and the Ultra preset 224 FPS. The High and Ultra deltas are relatively small, but the gap between Low and Medium is 75 FPS, which is significant.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but begin to show the GPU’s influence. The Low preset achieves 297 FPS, Medium 210 FPS, High 148 FPS, and Ultra 141 FPS. The delta between High and Ultra is just 7 FPS, while the gap between Low and Medium is 87 FPS. The GPU is still capable of handling this resolution with ease, as the average FPS for all presets is above 140.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is the primary limiting component. The Low preset still delivers a good 155 FPS, but Medium drops to 110, High to 78, and Ultra to 74. The difference between Low and Medium is 45 FPS, and between High and Ultra is 4 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, and the 74 FPS average is still above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, but it is the lowest of the tested settings.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scale from 1080p to 4K shows how quickly the GPU becomes the bottleneck. At 1080p, the system is capable of delivering 408 FPS on Low settings, which is a CPU-bound scenario where the GPU is not fully utilized. As the resolution increases, the frame rate drops, but the drop is not linear. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the frame rate drops from 235 to 148 FPS, a 37% reduction. From 1440p to 4K, the High preset drops from 148 to 78 FPS, a 47% reduction. This indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU has ample headroom.

The data also shows that the Low preset scales better than the High preset. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 408 FPS, at 1440p Low it drops to 297 FPS, and at 4K Low it is 155 FPS. This is a 62% reduction from 1080p to 4K. In contrast, the High preset drops from 235 to 148 to 78 FPS, a 67% reduction. The Medium preset shows a similar pattern, with 333 at 1080p, 210 at 1440p, and 110 at 4K, a 67% reduction. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, with 224 at 1080p, 141 at 1440p, and 74 at 4K, a 67% reduction. This scaling behavior reveals that the GPU is the primary constraint at higher resolutions and settings.

Settings Recommendations

For the best measured experience, the data suggests that the High preset at 1440p offers an excellent balance of performance and visual quality. At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 148 FPS, which is well above the 120 FPS threshold for high-refresh monitors. The Ultra preset at the same resolution is only 7 FPS lower at 141, but the visual difference may be worth the small performance hit. For 1080p users, the High preset at 235 FPS is a strong choice, as it provides a high frame rate that can take advantage of a 240 Hz monitor. The Medium preset at 1440p also provides a solid 210 FPS, but the High preset is the best option for a balance of visual fidelity and performance.

At 4K, the High preset at 78 FPS is the best choice for a smooth experience, as it is above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 74 FPS is also playable, but the difference between the two is only 4 FPS. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, so for those targeting a 60 FPS experience, the High preset is the most reliable. Overall, the data indicates that the combo is capable of delivering a high-refresh experience at 1080p and 1440p, and a smooth 60+ FPS experience at 4K across most presets.
