Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that taxes system components in a unique way, and the combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER produces a distinct performance profile. Benchmark results show this pairing delivers extremely high frame rates across all tested settings, with the data revealing where the system's limits lie as resolution and graphical fidelity increase.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for this combo shows a clear and expected pattern: performance drops significantly as resolution scales from 1920x1080 up to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 234 FPS at 1080p to 148 FPS at 1440p, then further to 77 FPS at 4K. This represents a 67% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at High settings, which is a substantial hit that indicates the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The scaling behavior is consistent across all quality presets. At Low settings, the system delivers 421 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 295 FPS at 1440p and 154 FPS at 4K. The 4K result is still remarkably high, showing that even at the most demanding resolution tested, this combo maintains playable performance. Medium settings follow the same trajectory: 331 FPS at 1080p, 209 FPS at 1440p, and 109 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings produce the lowest overall numbers but still maintain high frame rates: 223 FPS at 1080p, 141 FPS at 1440p, and 73 FPS at 4K.

The frame rate drops between 1440p and 4K are particularly steep across all settings, averaging around 48% reduction. This steep decline suggests the GPU is working near its limits at 4K, while the 1080p to 1440p transition shows a more moderate average drop of about 37%. The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU likely plays a more significant role in determining performance, while at 4K, the RTX 4080 SUPER becomes the dominant factor, with its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth being fully utilized.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node from TSMC. Its specifications include 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, with a boost clock of 2550 MHz and a base clock of 2295 MHz. The memory runs at 1438 MHz, providing 23 Gbps effective speed, which translates to that 736.3 GB/s bandwidth figure. These specifications directly influence the measured results in Pc Building Simulator, particularly at higher resolutions where memory bandwidth and capacity become critical.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54209. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, which scores 54247, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the SUPER variant is essentially tied with the standard 4080 in aggregate performance. The other nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54828 (-1.1% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55698 (-2.7% delta), and the AMD Radeon 8060S at 55757 (-2.8% delta). All of these deltas are negative, meaning the RTX 4080 SUPER scores lower than these rivals in the aggregate benchmark, though the differences are small.

In Pc Building Simulator specifically, the GPU's 16 GB memory capacity appears sufficient even at 4K Ultra settings, where the average FPS is 73. The jump from High to Ultra at 4K costs only 4 FPS (from 77 to 73), while the jump from Medium to High costs 32 FPS (from 109 to 77). This suggests that the Ultra preset in this game is not dramatically more demanding than High, at least for this GPU. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 10240 shading units and 80 RT cores provide ample compute for this simulation title, which likely does not heavily utilize ray tracing or tensor core features.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 238th out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the top 6.4% of all tested combinations, which is a strong showing given the game's release date of January 2019 and the relative newness of both components. The rank reflects that while this is a high-end pairing, there are 237 other combinations that deliver higher average frame rates in this specific title.

This ranking is notable because Pc Building Simulator is a CPU-intensive simulation game, and the Ryzen 7 7700X's performance characteristics play a significant role in the overall result. The combo's position in the 238th spot suggests that other combinations, likely featuring even more powerful CPUs or GPUs, can outperform this setup. However, the actual measured FPS numbers are very high, with even the lowest tested result (73 FPS at 4K Ultra) being well above playable thresholds.

The data shows this combo sits in the upper tier of tested configurations. Given that the RTX 4080 SUPER scores in the 86th percentile of all GPUs and the Ryzen 7 7700X scores in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, the combined ranking of 238 out of 3723 is consistent with expectations for two above-average components working together. The gap between this combo and the top-ranked combinations is likely attributable to more expensive or newer hardware that pushes frame rates even higher, particularly at lower resolutions where CPU performance matters more.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 resolution, the combo delivers exceptionally high frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 421 FPS, Medium settings yield 331 FPS with a minimum of 282 FPS and maximum of 381 FPS, High settings achieve 234 FPS, and Ultra settings deliver 223 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 198 FPS, showing that the GPU has significant headroom even at maximum quality settings. The Medium settings data includes the only min/max measurements in the entire dataset, with a 99 FPS spread between minimum and maximum.

Moving to 2560x1440 resolution, performance remains very strong. Low settings average 295 FPS, Medium settings average 209 FPS with a minimum of 178 FPS and maximum of 240 FPS, High settings average 148 FPS, and Ultra settings average 141 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings, with Low seeing a 30% reduction, Medium a 37% reduction, High a 37% reduction, and Ultra a 37% reduction. The Medium settings at 1440p show a 62 FPS spread between minimum and maximum.

At 3840x2160 resolution, frame rates remain respectable but show clear GPU limitations. Low settings average 154 FPS, Medium settings average 109 FPS with a minimum of 93 FPS and maximum of 126 FPS, High settings average 77 FPS, and Ultra settings average 73 FPS. The transition from 1440p to 4K is steep, with Low dropping 48%, Medium dropping 48%, High dropping 48%, and Ultra dropping 48%. At 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 81 FPS, compared to 154 FPS at 1440p and 198 FPS at 1080p, indicating the GPU is becoming saturated.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 4.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. These specifications position it as a strong performer for simulation games, which often benefit from higher single-thread performance and moderate multi-threading.

The CPU's benchmark results show a single-thread score of 1090 in 3DMark, a multi-thread score of 8859 in the 16-thread test, and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19088 with a single-core score of 1987. These scores place the Ryzen 7 7700X in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35909. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 with an average score of 35802 (0.3% delta), the Intel Core 7 250H at 35728 (0.5% delta), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 at 35719 (0.5% delta), and the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H at 35670 (0.7% delta). All of these deltas are positive, meaning the Ryzen 7 7700X scores slightly higher than these rivals.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is evident in the 1080p results, where frame rates exceed 400 FPS at Low settings. At this resolution, the GPU is not the bottleneck, so the CPU's 5.40 GHz boost clock and 16 threads allow for high frame rates. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration is well-suited for simulation workloads that often parallelize across multiple cores. The CPU's 105 W TDP and unlocked multiplier suggest it can sustain high clocks during extended gaming sessions. The data shows the CPU is not significantly limiting performance until 4K resolution, where the GPU becomes the primary constraint.
