GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, featuring 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. Its memory subsystem consists of 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The core operates with a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, while the memory runs at an effective 21 Gbps. This configuration provides 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which the benchmark data shows is well-suited for the simulation's demands.

The GPU's role in Pc Building Simulator becomes apparent when examining the frame rate scaling across settings. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 380.6 FPS, but this drops to 197.6 FPS at Ultra. The data indicates that the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions, as the frame rates exceed what most displays can show. The 7168 shading units and 80 ROPs handle the simulation's rendering efficiently, while the 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores contribute to the overall compute capability, even if the simulation does not heavily utilize ray tracing.

The RTX 4070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 42576 places it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered, with the NVIDIA RTX A6000 scoring 42653 (-0.2%), the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scoring 42723 (-0.3%), and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X scoring 41991 (+1.4%). This suggests that the 4070 SUPER performs within a narrow performance band, and its specific advantage in this simulation comes from the combination with the CPU. The GPU's 220 W TDP and dual-slot design are standard for this class, and the data shows no temperature-related throttling based on the consistent frame rates across resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop varies significantly by settings preset. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 380.6 at 1080p to 258.3 at 1440p, a 32.1% reduction, and then to 135.3 at 4K, a further 47.6% reduction. This steep decline at 4K indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly stressed at higher pixel counts, even with minimal visual effects enabled.

For the High preset, the scaling is more moderate: 202.8 FPS at 1080p, 128.3 at 1440p, and 66.4 at 4K. The 1440p to 4K drop of 48.3% is similar to the Low preset's decline, suggesting that the simulation's rendering workload scales consistently with pixel count. The Ultra preset shows a similar pattern, with 197.6 FPS at 1080p falling to 124.3 at 1440p and 62.9 at 4K. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is only 3.5 FPS, indicating that the additional settings in Ultra have diminishing returns at higher resolutions.

The data suggests that the CPU is the primary limiting factor at 1080p, as the frame rates exceed 380 FPS at Low settings, which is beyond what most GPUs can sustain in other titles. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D's 96 MB of shared L3 cache and 8 cores with 16 threads provide ample processing power for the simulation's logic. At 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, as evidenced by the frame rates converging to a narrower range across settings: 62.9 FPS at Ultra versus 135.3 FPS at Low. This convergence indicates that the GPU's pixel throughput, not the CPU's simulation calculations, dictates performance at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates exceptional performance across all presets. The Low preset achieves an average of 380.6 FPS, which is the highest recorded frame rate in the entire dataset. Medium settings deliver 289.7 FPS, High settings provide 202.8 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 197.6 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is only 5.2 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional effects have minimal impact on frame rate compared to the step from Low to Medium.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a more pronounced separation between presets. Low settings average 258.3 FPS, Medium settings average 184.4 FPS, High settings average 128.3 FPS, and Ultra settings average 124.3 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 56.1 FPS, which is larger than the 8.2 FPS difference between High and Ultra. This indicates that the High preset introduces a significant rendering load compared to Medium, while Ultra adds relatively little additional cost.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops to more modest levels. Low settings maintain an average of 135.3 FPS, which is still above standard 120 Hz displays. Medium settings deliver 93.3 FPS, High settings provide 66.4 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 62.9 FPS. The 1440p to 4K transition for the Medium preset shows a 49.4% reduction in frame rate, from 184.4 to 93.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K, at 62.9 FPS, represents the most demanding scenario in the dataset, but it remains playable for a simulation title that does not require twitch reflexes.

Settings Recommendations

For users with 1080p displays, the Ultra preset at 197.6 FPS is the clear recommendation, as the performance headroom is substantial and the visual quality improvement over High is likely noticeable in a simulation where users inspect component details. The data shows that the 5.2 FPS difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is a negligible cost for maximum fidelity.

At 1440p, the High preset at 128.3 FPS offers the best balance, as it exceeds 120 Hz refresh rates while the Ultra preset at 124.3 FPS provides only a marginal improvement at a 3.2% frame rate cost. The Medium preset at 184.4 FPS is suitable for users with 165 Hz or higher refresh rate displays, but the step to High is substantial enough to justify the frame rate trade-off for most users.

For 4K displays, the Medium preset at 93.3 FPS is the optimal choice, as it maintains a smooth experience while the High preset at 66.4 FPS and Ultra at 62.9 FPS dip below 70 FPS. The Low preset at 135.3 FPS provides a high-refresh-rate option, but the visual compromise is significant for a game where aesthetics matter. The data suggests that the GPU's 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for Medium settings at 4K, as the measured performance does not indicate any memory-related stuttering or frame time anomalies.
