Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows consistently high frame rates across all settings. The Low preset delivers an average of 409.7 FPS, while Medium reaches 360.4 FPS. High settings produce 263.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 245.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial — 164 FPS — indicating that even at the most demanding preset, the system remains far above the refresh rates of typical monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain elevated but show a clearer separation between settings. Low yields 331 FPS, Medium 236.1 FPS, High 161.8 FPS, and Ultra 158.3 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 172.7 FPS, a slightly larger absolute delta than at 1080p. Notably, the difference between High and Ultra shrinks to just 3.5 FPS at this resolution, suggesting diminishing returns from the highest preset.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve flattens considerably. Low produces 171.1 FPS, Medium 124 FPS, High 83.6 FPS, and Ultra 81.9 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 89.2 FPS, much narrower than at lower resolutions. The High-to-Ultra delta narrows further to 1.7 FPS, meaning the visual uplift from Ultra over High is essentially free in terms of frame rate cost.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently delivers a balanced experience. At 1080p, Medium is 88% of the Low preset's frame rate. At 1440p, it retains 71% of Low. At 4K, it holds 72% of Low. The data indicates that the RTX 4090's raw compute power keeps even Ultra settings playable at 4K, with an average of 81.9 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process, with 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die. Its base clock is 2235 MHz with a boost clock of 2520 MHz. The GPU's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus provides 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for texture-heavy simulation workloads.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. At 1080p, the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output; the frame rates scale almost linearly with settings. However, at 4K, the RTX 4090's 16,384 shading units, 512 TMUs, and 176 ROPs are pushed harder, and the frame rate differences between settings compress. The pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s are the key throughput metrics driving 4K performance.

The GPU's FP32 compute of 82.58 TFLOPS (with FP16 at 1:1 ratio) indicates substantial headroom for physics calculations and rendering tasks that Pc Building Simulator may offload to the GPU. The 128 ray-tracing cores and 512 tensor cores are present but may see limited use in this simulation title, which is primarily CPU-bound in its logic but GPU-bound in its rendering.

At 4K Low, the GPU achieves 171.1 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it drops to 81.9 FPS. This 89.2 FPS reduction reflects the increased memory bandwidth demand and shader complexity of higher presets. The RTX 4090's 1.01 TB/s bandwidth ensures that memory throughput is rarely the limiting factor; instead, the shading rate and ROP throughput cap performance at Ultra settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data suggests that the Ultra preset offers the most visually complete experience without sacrificing playability. At 1080p, Ultra produces 245.7 FPS, which is 93% of the High preset's 263.1 FPS. The 17.4 FPS difference is negligible for most users, making Ultra the clear choice at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset delivers 158.3 FPS, nearly identical to High's 161.8 FPS — a delta of just 3.5 FPS (2.2% reduction). Given that Ultra typically includes higher-quality textures and additional effects, this minimal frame rate cost makes Ultra the recommended preset for 1440p gaming.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset yields 81.9 FPS, while High produces 83.6 FPS — a difference of only 1.7 FPS. This is within the margin of measurement error, so choosing Ultra over High costs essentially nothing. The Medium preset at 124 FPS is also viable for users prioritizing higher frame rates, but the Ultra preset's 81.9 FPS already exceeds the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

The Low preset is only recommended for competitive scenarios requiring maximum frame rates, such as 409.7 FPS at 1080p or 331 FPS at 1440p. However, for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, where visual fidelity of components and interfaces matters, the Ultra preset provides the best balance. The data shows no scenario where High offers a meaningful advantage over Ultra — the frame rate deltas at all three resolutions are 2.2% or less.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the system's bottleneck characteristics. At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 245.7 at 1080p to 158.3 at 1440p (a 35.6% reduction), then to 81.9 at 4K (a 48.3% reduction from 1440p). This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more strained as pixel count increases.

At Low settings, the scaling is different. The system produces 409.7 FPS at 1080p, 331 FPS at 1440p (19.2% drop), and 171.1 FPS at 4K (48.3% drop from 1440p). The relatively small drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings suggests that the CPU is the limiting factor at these lower graphical loads. At 1080p Low, the Ryzen 7 7700's 8 cores and 16 threads may be saturated, preventing the GPU from reaching its full potential.

The Medium preset shows a scaling pattern between Low and Ultra: 360.4 FPS at 1080p, 236.1 at 1440p (34.5% drop), and 124 at 4K (47.5% drop from 1440p). The consistent 47-48% drops from 1440p to 4K across all settings indicate that the RTX 4090's performance scales predictably with pixel count when the CPU is not the bottleneck.

The High preset exhibits the most pronounced scaling: 263.1 FPS at 1080p, 161.8 at 1440p (38.5% drop), and 83.6 at 4K (48.3% drop). The larger 1080p-to-1440p drop suggests that High settings begin to shift the workload more heavily toward the GPU, while still retaining some CPU dependency. Overall, the data indicates that at 1080p and 1440p Low/Medium, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is the primary limiter, while at 4K and at higher presets, the RTX 4090's rendering throughput becomes the dominant constraint.
