A: At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 108.4 at 1920x1080 to 38.3 at 3840x2160, representing a 64.7% reduction in frame rate when quadrupling the pixel count.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 serves as the definitive performance ceiling in this configuration. Its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with base and boost clocks of 1168 MHz and 1244 MHz respectively. The card's 2048 shading units and 32 ROPs are the architectural foundation for all rendering work in Pc Building Simulator.

The GPU's synthetic benchmark profile shows a 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average score of 30158. Critically, its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (0.2% delta) and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (0.2% delta), which are vastly more modern cards. This suggests the RX 570's score is competitive in aggregate benchmarks, but the 4 GB memory capacity becomes a practical limitation in this simulation game.

In measured results, the GPU's influence is unmistakable. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 54.5 FPS, while dropping to Low settings at the same resolution yields 108.4 FPS. This 53.9 FPS swing demonstrates how heavily the game's visual settings tax the Polaris 20 chip. The 14 nm process node and 5.095 TFLOPS FP32 performance place this card firmly in the previous generation, yet the data shows it can still manage playable frame rates at lower presets.

The CPU, by contrast, is a Zen 4 Raphael part with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a 5.40 GHz boost clock. Its 89th percentile ranking and average score of 34313 indicate it is far more capable than the GPU demands. The 7700X's nearest rivals in average score include the Intel Core i5-13500 (34175, 0.4% delta) and Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (34584, -0.8% delta), confirming this CPU is not the constraint. The game's simulation workload likely benefits from the CPU's strong single-thread performance, but the GPU's rendering limits dominate the final output.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance curve as resolution increases. At Low settings, the jump from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces average FPS from 108.4 to 67.7, a 40.7 FPS drop. Moving further to 3840x2160 yields just 38.3 FPS, meaning the 4K result is only 35.3% of the 1080p figure. This pattern holds across all settings, indicating a component that scales poorly with pixel count.

At Medium settings, the progression is 79.7 FPS (1080p), 48.2 FPS (1440p), and 27 FPS (4K). The 1440p result represents a 39.5% reduction from 1080p, while the 4K result is 66.1% lower. High settings follow a similar trajectory: 52.6 FPS at 1080p, 31.5 FPS at 1440p, and 17.2 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings show 54.5 FPS at 1080p, 33 FPS at 1440p, and 16.5 FPS at 4K.

These numbers indicate the limiting component is the GPU. The RX 570's 224.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 4 GB capacity are insufficient for the increasing texture and shading demands at higher resolutions. A CPU-bound system would show smaller relative drops between resolutions, but here the 4K results at High (17.2 FPS) and Ultra (16.5 FPS) are nearly unplayable. The 1440p results, while better, still fall below 70 FPS at every setting except Low, confirming the graphics card cannot sustain modern resolution expectations.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 1684 out of 1769 tested combinations in Pc Building Simulator. This places the combo in the bottom 5% of all systems tested, a position that reflects the severe mismatch between the high-end 2022 CPU and the entry-level 2017 GPU.

The ranking is particularly telling given the CPU's standalone performance. The 7700X achieves an 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs with an average score of 34313, placing it among the top tier of processors. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-13500 (34175, 0.4% delta) and Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (34584, -0.8% delta), all within 1% of each other. This is a CPU capable of far more than the RX 570 can deliver.

The GPU's 74th percentile ranking (average score 30158) is respectable in isolation, but its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT — cards from completely different performance classes. The RX 570's 4 GB memory and GCN 4.0 architecture simply cannot translate the CPU's potential into frame rate. In a game about building PCs, this combo demonstrates the practical consequences of pairing a modern processor with a legacy graphics solution.

The rank of 1684 out of 1769 combos means there are only 85 worse-performing configurations. This places the system in the lowest tier for this specific game, where even the 1080p Medium result of 79.7 FPS is the best achievable with any visual quality above Low.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear hierarchy of playable settings for this combo. At 1920x1080, Low settings achieve 108.4 FPS, which is the only configuration that exceeds 100 FPS. Medium settings deliver 79.7 FPS, while High (52.6 FPS) and Ultra (54.5 FPS) both fall below 60 FPS.

For a consistent 60 FPS experience at 1080p, Medium settings are the optimal choice. The 79.7 FPS average provides headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, allowing for minor frame time variations without dropping below playability. The jump from Low to Medium is substantial in visual quality terms, and the 28.7 FPS cost is acceptable given the starting point.

At 2560x1440, the options narrow significantly. Low settings produce 67.7 FPS, which is the only preset above 60 FPS. Medium drops to 48.2 FPS, and High/Ultra fall to 31.5 and 33 FPS respectively. Users prioritizing resolution over quality should select Low at 1440p, but the 1080p Medium experience is superior in both frame rate and visual fidelity.

At 3840x2160, no setting achieves a playable frame rate. Low yields 38.3 FPS, Medium 27 FPS, and High/Ultra sit at 17.2 and 16.5 FPS. The 4K resolution is not viable for this combo in Pc Building Simulator, regardless of settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its strongest results across all settings. Low settings average 108.4 FPS, making it the only preset that clears the 100 FPS mark. Medium settings deliver 79.7 FPS, High settings achieve 52.6 FPS, and Ultra settings reach 54.5 FPS. Interestingly, Ultra outperforms High by 1.9 FPS, an anomaly that suggests the two presets have minimal differences in this game's rendering pipeline.

At 2560x1440, performance drops considerably. Low settings average 67.7 FPS, still playable but 40.7 FPS below the 1080p result. Medium settings produce 48.2 FPS, High settings manage 31.5 FPS, and Ultra settings hit 33 FPS. The 1440p results show a consistent pattern of roughly 35-40% reduction from 1080p at each corresponding setting.

At 3840x2160, the combo falls below playability thresholds. Low settings average 38.3 FPS, Medium averages 27 FPS, High averages 17.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 16.5 FPS. The 4K results are consistently 60-70% lower than the 1080p equivalents, with the High and Ultra presets both hovering near 17 FPS regardless of the 0.7 FPS difference between them.

The full dataset shows 12 measured configurations, with no min or max FPS recorded. The scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution reveals the GPU's limitations: at 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 53.9 FPS; at 1440p, it is 34.7 FPS; at 4K, it is 21.8 FPS. As resolution increases, the absolute FPS spread narrows because the GPU is increasingly saturated by pixel throughput, leaving less headroom for settings-based variation.
