Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of resolution scaling that highlights the GPU as the primary constraint at higher resolutions. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 235.2 to 149.6, a reduction of 36.4%. Scaling further to 3840x2160 at Ultra brings the average down to 76.5 FPS, which is 67.5% lower than the 1080p result. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 5080's rendering workload scales heavily with pixel count, while the Ryzen 7 7700X's 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to keep feeding frames at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 420.3 FPS, and at 1440p Low it reaches 316.3 FPS, suggesting that at these settings the CPU is approaching its limits or the game's simulation logic becomes a factor. However, the jump from 1440p Medium (220.6 FPS) to 4K Medium (114.3 FPS) shows a 48.2% drop, consistent with GPU-bound behavior. The most telling comparison is between Low settings at 1080p (420.3 FPS) and 4K (165.3 FPS), a 60.7% reduction that underscores how resolution dominates performance scaling. The data implies that for players targeting 4K, the RTX 5080 is the decisive component, while at 1080p the combo is nearly overkill for this simulation title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers staggering performance: 420.3 FPS on Low, 352.5 FPS on Medium, 249.1 FPS on High, and 235.2 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, even the most demanding preset leaves significant headroom for future game updates or additional simulation complexity. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high: 316.3 FPS on Low, 220.6 FPS on Medium, 157.7 FPS on High, and 149.6 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Medium at 1440p is 30.2%, while the drop from High to Ultra is only 5.1%, suggesting diminishing returns at the highest settings. At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more moderate: 165.3 FPS on Low, 114.3 FPS on Medium, 79.7 FPS on High, and 76.5 FPS on Ultra. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is just 4.0%, indicating that Ultra offers little extra visual benefit for the performance cost. Across all resolutions, the scaling from Low to Ultra shows a consistent pattern: the largest relative drops occur between Low and Medium at 4K (30.9%) and between Medium and High at 1440p (28.5%). The data reveals that this game is highly sensitive to resolution, with 4K Ultra producing roughly one-sixth the frame rate of 1080p Low, while the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads appear adequate to prevent CPU-bound scenarios at any tested configuration.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows suggest that High settings at 1440p provides the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, with 157.7 FPS average. This exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors while maintaining quality. At 4K, High settings deliver 79.7 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for high-refresh displays; players seeking smooth 4K should consider Medium settings, which yields 114.3 FPS. For competitive or high-refresh gaming at 1080p, Ultra settings at 235.2 FPS are more than sufficient, making the High preset at 1080p (249.1 FPS) a redundant option given the minimal visual difference. The data shows that Ultra settings at any resolution produce only marginal FPS improvements over High—at 1080p the difference is 5.9%, at 1440p it's 5.1%, and at 4K it's 4.0%—yet the visual quality gain may justify it for players who prioritize image fidelity. Conversely, Low settings at 4K (165.3 FPS) offer a massive performance boost over Ultra (76.5 FPS) but likely sacrifices too much visual detail for a simulation game where reading text and UI elements matters. The optimal recommendation is 1440p High for most users, with 4K Medium as the best compromise for those who prioritize resolution above all else. The 420.3 FPS at 1080p Low suggests that this combo is future-proof for upcoming patches or mods that may increase system requirements.
