Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT ranks 2769th out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the 26th percentile of all systems. This is a mid-pack result that reflects a pairing of a modern, high-end CPU with an older, mid-range GPU. The data indicates this is a system where the graphics card is the primary constraint, and the processor has significant headroom left on the table. The ranking suggests that while this combo will run the game, it will not deliver top-tier frame rates, especially at higher resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 2769 out of 3723 places it firmly in the lower half of tested configurations, indicating that most other pairings will deliver better performance. The data shows the CPU is not the bottleneck; its Passmark multi-thread score of 36470 and single-thread score of 4691 are strong, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. The GPU, however, sits in the 59th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 16361 Pascal, which drags the overall combo ranking down.

The CPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores are the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX, Intel Core i7-14700KF, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, and Intel Core i7-14700K. The Ryzen 7 9700F is essentially tied with these processors, showing a deltaPct of only 0.2% ahead of the Ryzen 9 7940HX and 0.7% ahead of the Ryzen 9 7950X, while being 0.2% behind the i7-14700KF. This confirms the CPU is performing at a top-tier level, matching or slightly beating some of the best desktop and mobile chips. The GPU's nearest rivals tell a different story, with the RX 5700 XT being virtually tied with the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M within 0.1%, but slightly behind the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and AMD Radeon PRO W7500, and 0.9% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 crab. This shows the graphics card is a mid-range performer that holds its own against much newer workstation parts.

The discrepancy between the CPU's high percentile ranking and the combo's overall low rank is the key takeaway. The Ryzen 7 9700F is a capable processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, but it is paired with a graphics card that is simply not in the same performance class. A system with a weaker CPU but a stronger GPU would likely rank higher in this specific game, as Pc Building Simulator's results show a clear sensitivity to graphics processing power across different resolutions.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT is the limiting factor in this combo. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU's clocks are set at a base of 1605 MHz, a game clock of 1755 MHz, and a boost clock of 1905 MHz. This older RDNA 1.0 architecture delivers a compute performance of 9.754 TFLOPS FP32, which is modest by current standards.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is decisive. The performance scaling from Low to Ultra settings shows that the card is quickly overwhelmed when graphical load increases. At 1080p, the GPU manages to produce playable frame rates at all settings, but at 4K, it struggles to maintain a smooth experience at anything above Low settings. The data indicates that the 8 GB frame buffer and the raw shading power of the 2560 shading units are insufficient for the most demanding presets at high resolutions.

The GPU's benchmark scores provide context for its in-game performance. Its Passmark G3D score is 16277, and its DirectX 12 score is 64, which are indicative of its mid-range standing. The texture rate of 304.8 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 121.9 GPixel/s show that while it can handle geometry and textures at moderate resolutions, it falls behind when the resolution increases and the pixel count jumps. The card's performance in this game is consistent with a 59th percentile GPU, meaning that roughly 41% of tested GPUs will outperform it.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern: performance drops significantly as resolution increases, which confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck. At Low settings, the average FPS scales from 220 at 1080p to 139 at 1440p and finally to 72 at 4K. This represents a 67% drop from 1080p to 4K, showing that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are being pushed to their limits.

At High settings, the frame rates are 110, 69, and 36 for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. This is a larger percentage drop from 1080p to 4K, falling to just 33% of the 1080p performance. The trend continues at Medium settings with 156, 98, and 51 FPS, and at Ultra settings with 105, 66, and 35 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 35 FPS is nearly unplayable, while the 1080p Ultra result of 105 FPS is perfectly smooth.

The scaling pattern indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor. The Ryzen 7 9700F has ample processing power, and the frame rate drops are entirely consistent with the increased pixel count that the GPU must render. The fact that the 4K Low result of 72 FPS is higher than the 1080p Ultra result of 105 FPS is expected, as the Low preset reduces the shading load dramaticallyikuha. The data suggests that if the GPU were upgraded, the frame rates would increase across all resolutions, but the relative scaling between resolutions would remain similar.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers its best performance. The Low preset averages 220 FPS, which is exceptionally high and shows the CPU's strength. The Medium preset averages 156 FPS with a minimum of 132 and a maximum of 179 FPS, indicating a stable experience. The High preset averages 110 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 105 FPS. All of these results are well above the 60 FPS threshold and provide a smooth experience for a simulation game.

At 1440p, the frame rates drop but remain playable. The Low preset averages 139 FPS, which is still very smooth. The Medium preset averages 98 FPS with a minimum of 84 and a maximum of 113 FPS. The High preset averages 69 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 66 FPS. These numbers show that the GPU is starting to work harder, but the system can still maintain a playable frame rate at all settings.

At 4K, the performance becomes marginal. The Low preset averages 72 FPS, which is playable but not ideal. The Medium preset averages 51 FPS with a minimum of 44 and a maximum of 59 FPS, dipping below the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset averages 36 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 35 FPS. These results are not suitable for a smooth gaming experience. The data shows a clear progression where the GPU's performance degrades significantly as the resolution increases, confirming that the RX 5700 XT is the primary limiting factor in this pairing.

The data shows this combination delivers an average of 98 FPS with a minimum of 84 FPS, which is smooth and stable. This provides a significant visual upgrade over 1080p while maintaining a high frame rate that is well above the 60 FPS target.

If a higher frame rate is preferred, the Low preset at 1440p averages 139 FPS, which is excellent for fast-paced interaction. However, the visual quality will be noticeably reduced. At 1080p, the High preset at 110 FPS is a strong choice, offering good visuals and a very smooth experience, while the Ultra preset at 105 FPS is nearly identical in performance and provides the highest fidelity.

For 4K gaming, the data suggests that only the Low preset is viable, with an average of 72 FPS. The Medium preset at 51 FPS is borderline, and High or Ultra settings should be avoided as they produce averages of 36 and 35 FPS respectively, which will feel sluggish. Given the substantial performance penalty at 4K, users with a 4K display should either lower the resolution to 1440p or accept the Low preset for a playable experience. The 1080p Ultra preset, with an average of 105 FPS, is the best way to experience the game's maximum visual settings without compromising smoothness.
