Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide a clear picture of which preset to choose. For a smooth experience, the data points to 1920x1080 with Low settings, where the average FPS is 108. This is the only configuration in the entire dataset that doubles the 60 FPS threshold, offering substantial headroom for scene complexity. Medium at 1080p yields 77 FPS average, which is still comfortable, but the jump from Low to Medium costs 31 FPS, a 29% drop. High at 1080p drops to 54 FPS, and Ultra falls to 51 FPS, both below the ideal 60 FPS target.

At 2560x1440, the situation worsens. Low settings produce 68 FPS average, which is playable, but Medium drops to 48 FPS, and High and Ultra fall to 34 FPS and 32 FPS respectively. The data suggests that if a player insists on 1440p, only Low settings are viable for consistent frame rates. At 3840x2160, no setting reaches 40 FPS; Low averages 36 FPS, Medium 25 FPS, High 18 FPS, and Ultra 17 FPS. This resolution is effectively unplayable for this combo.

The best experience per the measured rows is 1920x1080 with Medium settings. While Low offers higher FPS, Medium provides a balance with 77 FPS average and a minimum of 65 FPS, ensuring no severe dips below 60 FPS. The min FPS of 65 on Medium is higher than the average FPS of High at 54, meaning Medium is both smoother and more stable than any higher preset. Ultra at 1080p does not improve the experience enough to justify the 26 FPS loss from Medium, as the average of 51 FPS is below the 60 FPS target.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the decisive factor in this combo’s performance. Its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and its base clock is 1168 MHz with a boost clock of 1244 MHz. The GPU has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs, with a pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 159.2 GTexel/s. These specifications place it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs, but for a simulation game that renders detailed scenes, the 4 GB VRAM is a limiting factor.

The benchmark data shows the GPU’s ceiling. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 32084, Vulkan score is 42752, and Metal score is 39349. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is only 880, which is low and explains the poor high-resolution performance. The RX 570’s nearest rival, the RX 6800M, scores 28874, which is 0.4% higher, but the RX 570’s 74th percentile ranking masks its weakness in modern titles. In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU’s limited memory bandwidth becomes apparent when moving from 1080p to 4K.

At 1920x1080, the GPU can push 108 FPS on Low, but this drops to 54 FPS on High, showing a 50% reduction from settings alone. At 3840x2160, the GPU struggles to maintain 20 FPS on Ultra, and even Low only reaches 36 FPS. The data implies that the RX 570’s 4 GB VRAM is insufficient for the texture loads at 4K, and its 5.095 TFLOPS FP32 performance is not enough to fill the larger frame buffer. The GPU’s TDP of 150 W and suggested PSU of 450 W indicate it is a modest part, and the benchmark results confirm it is the bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture. At 1920x1080, Low settings yield an average of 108 FPS, Medium yields 77 FPS with a minimum of 65 and maximum of 88, High yields 54 FPS, and Ultra yields 51 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 57 FPS, a 53% reduction, which is substantial for a settings change.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 68 FPS, Medium averages 48 FPS with a minimum of 41 and maximum of 56, High averages 34 FPS, and Ultra averages 32 FPS. The drop from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is 40 FPS, or 37%. Medium at 1440p is 29 FPS lower than Medium at 1080p. High at 1440p is 20 FPS lower than High at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, Low averages 36 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS with a minimum of 21 and maximum of 29, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 17 FPS. The difference between 1080p Low and 4K Low is 72 FPS, a 67% drop. The difference between 1080p Ultra and 4K Ultra is 34 FPS, a 67% drop as well. This consistency suggests the GPU scales poorly with resolution, losing roughly two-thirds of its performance from 1080p to 4K.

The min FPS data is only available for Medium settings at each resolution. At 1080p, the min is 65 FPS; at 1440p, it is 41 FPS; and at 4K, it is 21 FPS. This shows that even the most stable preset at 1080p becomes choppy at 4K, with the minimum dropping below 30 FPS. The max FPS at Medium follows a similar trend: 88 at 1080p, 56 at 1440p, and 29 at 4K. The data indicates that the GPU’s performance degrades linearly with pixel count, but the 4K results are disproportionately poor, likely due to VRAM exhaustion.

How This Combo Ranks

This combo ranks 3562 out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the bottom 4.3% of all configurations. The rank reflects the GPU’s limitations more than the CPU’s capabilities. The Ryzen 7 9700F is a top-tier CPU, with an average benchmark score of 69996 and a 94th percentile ranking, but pairing it with an RX 570 creates a severe imbalance. The CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the Ryzen 9 7940HX at 0.2% lower and the Core i7-14700KF at 0.2% higher, are all far more capable than the RX 570.

The GPU’s rank is 74th percentile, but its nearest rivals include the RX 6800M, which is a mobile part, and the Quadro RTX 8000, which is a workstation GPU. None of these rivals are designed for gaming at high resolutions. The combo rank of 3562 out of 3723 means that 161 other combos perform worse, but the vast majority of tested systems outperform this one. The data suggests that the RX 570 drags the entire combo down, as the CPU alone would rank near the top for any game.

In Pc Building Simulator specifically, the game’s simulation nature means it is not extremely demanding on the GPU, but the RX 570 still cannot deliver playable frame rates at 4K. The combo rank indicates that users with this hardware should stick to 1080p, where the data shows acceptable performance. The rank also implies that upgrading the GPU would yield a massive improvement, as the CPU has plenty of headroom.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is a Zen 5 architecture processor on the AM5 socket, with 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz and boost clock is 5.50 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. It has 80 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 with a dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. Its Passmark scores include a single-thread score of 4691 and a multithread score of 36470, with an average benchmark score of 69996.

The CPU’s percentile rank of 94 means it outperforms most processors, and its nearest rivals are all high-end parts. The Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69875, the Core i7-14700KF scores 70163, the Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69515, and the Core i7-14700K scores 69355. The 9700F’s performance is within 1% of these parts, showing that it is not the limiting factor in this combo.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU’s role is to handle game logic, simulation calculations, and AI, which the 8-core, 16-thread configuration does easily. The Passmark physics score is 2122, and the integer math score is 120788, both indicating strong computational throughput. However, the measured FPS data shows that the CPU is never the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the FPS is 108, which is likely near the game’s engine limit, but at 4K Ultra, the FPS drops to 17, clearly a GPU limitation. The CPU’s single-thread performance of 4691 is more than sufficient for a simulation game, and the 94th percentile rank confirms its capability.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 108; at 1440p Low, it is 68; and at 4K Low, it is 36. This is a 67% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Medium settings, the drop is from 77 FPS at 1080p to 48 FPS at 1440p and 25 FPS at 4K, a 68% reduction. At High settings, the drop is from 54 FPS at 1080p to 34 FPS at 1440p and 18 FPS at 4K, a 67% reduction. At Ultra, the drop is from 51 FPS at 1080p to 32 FPS at 1440p and 17 FPS at 4K, a 67% reduction.

This consistent 67% drop across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor, as the CPU would not scale with resolution. The pixel count from 1080p to 4K is 4 times higher, but the FPS drops by only 67%, suggesting that the GPU is not purely pixel-bound but also memory-bound. The RX 570’s 4 GB VRAM is likely exhausted at 4K, causing the GPU to swap textures and reducing performance further.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is less severe, with a 37% FPS drop on Low settings. This shows that the GPU can handle a moderate resolution increase but fails at 4K. The data implies that if a user wants to play at 1440p, they must use Low settings, but even then, the 68 FPS average is acceptable. At 4K, no setting is playable, as even Low falls below 40 FPS. The resolution scaling confirms that the CPU has no role in this limitation; the Ryzen 7 9700F’s 94th percentile ranking is irrelevant when the GPU cannot keep up. The measured data points to the RX 570 as the sole bottleneck, and the 67% FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is a textbook example of GPU-bound performance scaling.
