A: The High preset at 2560x1440 provides the most balanced experience, delivering 118.1 FPS. This exceeds the Ultra preset's 110.3 FPS at the same resolution while maintaining most visual features, and the performance gap widens significantly when comparing 4K results.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points toward the High preset at 2560x1440 as the optimal configuration for this combo. At this setting and resolution, the average frame rate reaches 118.1 FPS, offering smooth gameplay with substantial visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at the same resolution achieves 110.3 FPS, a modest 6.6% reduction in frame rate that might justify the additional visual features for players prioritizing graphics over raw performance.

For players with 4K displays, the Medium preset at 3840x2160 delivers 84 FPS, which represents the best balance at that resolution. The High preset drops to 58.7 FPS and Ultra falls to 61 FPS — both marginally below or at the 60 FPS threshold. The Low preset at 4K reaches 120.5 FPS but sacrifices too much visual quality to recommend for general play. At 1080p, even the Ultra preset maintains 172.7 FPS, making any settings choice viable for competitive or casual play on standard monitors.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data spans three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a comprehensive view of this combo's capabilities in Pc Building Simulator.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 369.1 FPS, Medium reaches 261.8 FPS, High achieves 182.9 FPS, and Ultra maintains 172.7 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 53.2% reduction in frame rate, indicating the game becomes more demanding with each preset tier but never approaches unplayable territory at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected decline. Low settings average 229.8 FPS, Medium hits 164.1 FPS, High reaches 118.1 FPS, and Ultra delivers 110.3 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra narrows considerably here — only 6.6% — suggesting diminishing returns from the Ultra preset at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop more dramatically. Low settings still manage 120.5 FPS, but Medium falls to 84 FPS, High drops to 58.7 FPS, and Ultra reaches 61 FPS. Interestingly, Ultra outperforms High at 4K by 3.9%, a counterintuitive result that may stem from specific rendering paths in the game engine. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K represents a 49.4% reduction in frame rate, slightly less severe than at 1080p.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals how this combo handles increasing pixel counts. At Ultra settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces the average from 172.7 FPS to 110.3 FPS, a 36.1% drop. Moving from 1440p to 4K further reduces performance to 61 FPS, a 44.7% drop from the 1440p figure. Combined, the jump from 1080p to 4K at Ultra represents a 64.7% reduction in frame rate.

The High preset shows similar scaling behavior. From 1080p to 1440p, frame rates fall from 182.9 FPS to 118.1 FPS, a 35.4% decrease. The move from 1440p to 4K drops performance to 58.7 FPS, a 50.3% reduction. This steeper decline at higher resolutions strongly indicates the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count increases. The RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth appear insufficient to maintain high frame rates at 4K with demanding presets, while the CPU's 96 MB of L3 cache and 8 cores provide ample processing power for the game's simulation logic.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D brings substantial processing capabilities to this combo. Its 8 cores and 16 threads operate at a base clock of 4.20 GHz with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, built on the Zen 4 architecture using a 5 nm process. The 96 MB shared L3 cache is particularly notable for gaming workloads, as it reduces memory latency and improves data access patterns common in simulation titles.

Benchmark results confirm the CPU's strength. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29149 and single-core score of 4115 demonstrate balanced performance across both multi-threaded and single-threaded tasks. The 3DMark scores show scaling from 1887 at 2 threads to 7967 at max threads, indicating efficient thread utilization. The Passmark multi-thread score of 34293 and single-thread score of 3759 further validate the CPU's capability.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role appears well-served by these specifications. The game's simulation nature likely benefits from the large L3 cache and strong single-thread performance. The CPU's 87th percentile ranking against all processors suggests it handles the game's logic without becoming a bottleneck, especially at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 200 FPS. At those frame rates, the CPU must process game state updates quickly enough to feed the GPU, and the 7800X3D's performance metrics indicate it rises to this challenge.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 serves as the graphical workhorse of this combo, with specifications that explain both its strengths and limitations in Pc Building Simulator. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units process graphics data at rates of 455.4 GTexel/s and 158.4 GPixel/s. The boost clock of 2475 MHz drives FP32 performance to 29.15 TFLOPS.

The GPU's benchmark results show strong DirectX performance, with Passmark DirectX 11 scoring 244 and DirectX 12 scoring 103. The Passmark G3D score of 26927 and GPU compute score of 14720 indicate solid overall graphics capability. The 81st percentile ranking against all GPUs places it in the upper tier, though the nearest rival comparisons show mixed results — the RX Vega 56 sits 0.6% ahead, while the RTX 4080 Mobile trails by 2.2%.

In this game, the GPU's role becomes increasingly critical as resolution rises. At 1080p, the GPU easily keeps pace with the CPU, delivering over 170 FPS even at Ultra settings. At 1440p, performance remains strong but begins to show the GPU's workload increasing. At 4K, the GPU clearly becomes the limiting factor, with frame rates dropping to 61 FPS at Ultra and 58.7 FPS at High. The 12 GB VRAM capacity and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth appear adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but constrain performance at 4K with higher quality presets.
