# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 7 7700X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090

This combination of an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers remarkably high frame rates in Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that clearly favors GPU throughput at higher resolutions while showing CPU scaling characteristics at 1080p. The measured data reveals a system that is overkill for most settings tiers, yet the performance curve across resolutions tells a nuanced story about where the bottleneck shifts. With an average FPS ranging from 56 at 4K Ultra to 245 at 1080p Low, the spread of 189 frames per second between the most demanding and least demanding configurations highlights how settings and resolution interact with this particular hardware pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling behavior in Pc Building Simulator is dramatic, with frame rates dropping sharply as pixel count increases. At High settings, the system produces 180 FPS at 1920x1080, which falls to 124 FPS at 2560x1440, and further to 73 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 31% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and another 41% reduction from 1440p to 4K, resulting in an overall 59% drop from 1080p to 4K at High settings. Such a steep decline indicates that the game becomes heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, with the RTX 4090's rendering workload scaling nearly linearly with pixel count.

The Low settings tier shows an even more pronounced resolution penalty. At 1920x1080 Low, the system achieves 245 FPS, which drops to 216 FPS at 1440p and then to 129 FPS at 4K. The 4K figure represents just 53% of the 1080p performance, suggesting that even at Low settings, the pixel throughput demands at 4K overwhelm the GPU's ability to maintain the high frame rates seen at lower resolutions. Interestingly, the gap between 1080p and 1440p Low is only 12%, while the gap between 1440p and 4K Low is a massive 40%, indicating a nonlinear scaling pattern.

Ultra settings produce the lowest absolute numbers, with 137 FPS at 1080p, 94 FPS at 1440p, and just 56 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is particularly telling — it is the only configuration in the entire dataset that falls below 60 FPS, suggesting that this setting tier pushes the hardware to its practical limit. The resolution scaling at Ultra follows a similar pattern to High, with a 31% drop from 1080p to 1440p and another 40% drop to 4K.

The data implies that the limiting component shifts across resolution bands. At 1080p, the relatively small FPS differences between Low and Ultra (245 versus 137) suggest the CPU may be imposing a ceiling, while at 4K the larger relative gaps between settings tiers point to the GPU as the primary constraint. The RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth appear sufficient even at 4K Ultra, yet the 56 FPS result indicates the rendering pipeline itself is the bottleneck.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X brings 8 cores and 16 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 4.50 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz. This Zen 4 architecture processor, built on a 5 nm process by TSMC, delivers strong single-threaded performance with a 3dmark_single_thread score of 1090 and a passmark_single_thread score of 4190. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide ample headroom for simulation logic that Pc Building Simulator requires.

In the context of this game's results, the CPU's role appears most significant at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system hits 245 FPS, which likely approaches the engine's frame rate ceiling given the CPU's single-thread capabilities. The 3dmark_2_threads score of 2112 and 4_threads score of 4074 suggest that the game benefits from a few fast cores rather than massive parallelism, which aligns with the 7700X's design of 8 fast Zen 4 cores.

The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 19088 and single-core score of 1987 indicate balanced performance that avoids becoming a limiting factor in most scenarios. However, at 1080p Ultra, where the GPU is less stressed, the 137 FPS result is only 56% of the 1080p Low figure, implying that the CPU's ability to feed the GPU with draw calls and simulation updates may cap performance when frame rates climb toward 200 FPS.

The 7700X ranks in the 85th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35909. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 at 35802 (0.3% faster), the Intel Core 7 250H at 35728 (0.5% faster), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 at 35719 (0.5% faster). These margins are negligible, confirming that the 7700X sits in a tightly contested performance tier where no single processor holds a decisive advantage.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimizing the experience in Pc Building Simulator. The Medium settings tier offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all three resolutions. At 1920x1080 Medium, the system produces 211 FPS with a minimum of 179 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even during complex simulation scenes. The 2560x1440 Medium result of 147 FPS with a minimum of 125 FPS remains well above any display refresh rate concern.

For 4K displays, Medium settings at 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS delivers a playable experience, though users seeking higher frame rates might prefer High settings at 73 FPS. The High preset at 1440p produces 124 FPS, which is only 23 FPS lower than Medium at the same resolution, making High a reasonable choice for users who prioritize visual fidelity over raw frame rates.

Ultra settings should be approached with caution. At 1080p Ultra, the 137 FPS average remains smooth, but 1440p Ultra drops to 94 FPS, and 4K Ultra falls to 56 FPS — the only sub-60 FPS result in the entire dataset. For 4K users, the choice between Medium at 87 FPS and High at 73 FPS represents a 19% performance difference, while the jump from High to Ultra costs an additional 23% performance for incremental visual gains.

The Low preset is difficult to recommend given the hardware's capability. Even at 4K Low, the system produces 129 FPS, which is more than sufficient, but the visual compromise seems unnecessary when Medium provides 87 FPS at the same resolution. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot, offering 211 FPS at 1080p, 147 FPS at 1440p, and 87 FPS at 4K — all comfortably playable figures.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 1287 out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 35% of all configurations. Given the extreme hardware on both sides, this ranking might seem modest, but it reflects the game's relatively low demands and the fact that many other combinations likely reach similar frame rate ceilings.

The RTX 4090 sits in the 88th percentile against all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 60347. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Arc Pro A60 at 60326 (0% difference), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 at 60140 (0.3% slower), and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 61896 (2.5% faster). These competitors are workstation-oriented cards, which highlights how the 4090's gaming-focused design still edges out professional alternatives in synthetic benchmarks.

The combo's rank of 1287 out of 3723 suggests that while this pairing is powerful, Pc Building Simulator does not heavily differentiate between high-end configurations. The game's simulation genre likely means that CPU-bound scenarios at high frame rates become the limiting factor, preventing the RTX 4090 from fully flexing its muscle. The rank also implies that many lower-cost combinations could achieve similar results, though the data does not provide direct comparisons for those alternatives.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this pairing, featuring 16,384 shading units, 512 TMUs, and 176 ROPs. Its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus delivers 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, which proves critical for maintaining high frame rates at 4K resolutions. The GPU's boost clock of 2520 MHz and base clock of 2235 MHz, combined with 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, provide substantial headroom for the rendering demands of Pc Building Simulator.

The GPU's role becomes increasingly apparent as resolution climbs. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 108 FPS (245 versus 137), but at 4K, that difference shrinks to 73 FPS (129 versus 56). This narrowing gap suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU limits the maximum frame rate, while at 4K, the GPU's rendering workload becomes the primary constraint.

The RTX 4090's memory configuration appears more than adequate for this game. With 24 GB of VRAM and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth, even the most demanding 4K Ultra settings do not appear to cause memory-related stuttering, as evidenced by the 56 FPS average being consistent with compute-bound performance rather than memory thrashing. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility ensure modern API utilization, though the game's release date of January 2019 predates some of these features.

The GPU's passmark_g3d score of 38194 and geekbench_vulkan score of 271631 demonstrate strong raw performance, yet the game's results show that the 4090 is often underutilized at lower resolutions. The 1080p Low result of 245 FPS is likely near the engine's maximum frame rate, meaning the GPU has spare capacity that the CPU cannot feed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 245 FPS average, followed by Medium at 211 FPS with a minimum of 179 FPS and maximum of 242 FPS. High settings reach 180 FPS, while Ultra drops to 137 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 108 FPS, representing a 44% performance penalty for the highest quality preset.

The 2560x1440 results show a consistent step down from 1080p. Low settings average 216 FPS, Medium produces 147 FPS with a minimum of 125 FPS and maximum of 169 FPS, High reaches 124 FPS, and Ultra falls to 94 FPS. The Medium settings at 1440p demonstrate the best consistency, with a 44 FPS range between minimum and maximum that suggests stable frame pacing.

At 3840x2160, performance drops significantly across all settings. Low settings average 129 FPS, Medium produces 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and maximum of 100 FPS, High reaches 73 FPS, and Ultra falls to 56 FPS. The Medium settings at 4K show a 26 FPS range, indicating some frame time variance but still maintaining playable performance. The 4K Ultra result of 56 FPS is the only measured configuration below 60 FPS, making it the sole scenario where the hardware cannot maintain smooth gameplay.

The Medium settings tier provides the most complete data with minimum and maximum values at all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the 179-242 FPS range shows a 63 FPS spread, while 1440p Medium shows a 44 FPS spread, and 4K Medium shows a 26 FPS spread. This decreasing variance with increasing resolution suggests that frame time consistency improves when the GPU is more fully utilized.
