Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that stresses system configuration more than raw graphical fidelity, and the measured data for the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT reflects this. The combination delivers very high frame rates across all tested resolutions, but the scaling pattern reveals a shift in bottleneck behavior as pixel count increases. At 1080p, the system produces frame rates well beyond what most displays can handle, while at 4K, the GPU becomes the primary limiter. The data shows a configuration that is exceptionally capable for this game, with the CPU's strong single-thread performance and the GPU's large memory buffer working together to eliminate most potential stutters or dips.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable decline in performance as resolution increases, though the magnitude of the drop varies significantly depending on the graphics preset. Starting at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 367 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low settings, the average drops to 232 FPS, which is a reduction of roughly 37%. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls to 121 FPS, another 48% drop from the 1440p figure. This pattern indicates that even at the lowest settings, the resolution scaling is steep, suggesting the game engine has a significant pixel-throughput requirement.

When the settings are raised to Medium, the scaling becomes more linear. At 1080p Medium, the average is 260 FPS. At 1440p Medium, it falls to 164 FPS, a 37% decrease. At 4K Medium, the average is 86 FPS, a 48% drop from 1440p. This consistent percentage decrease across resolution steps for both Low and Medium presets suggests that the limiting component is scaling uniformly with pixel count. The CPU is likely not the primary constraint at these settings, as the frame rates remain high even at 4K.

The High and Ultra presets tell a different story. At 1080p High, the average is 184 FPS, and at 1440p High, it is 116 FPS, a 37% drop. However, at 4K High, the average is 61 FPS, a 47% reduction from 1440p. The Ultra preset shows a similar pattern: 175 FPS at 1080p, 110 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K. The fact that the Ultra preset at 4K produces a lower average FPS than the High preset at the same resolution indicates that the GPU is being pushed harder, and the frame rate is becoming more sensitive to the increased shading and texture work.

The most telling observation is the gap between Low and Ultra at each resolution. At 1080p, the difference is 367 FPS versus 175 FPS, a 192 FPS gap. At 1440p, the gap is 232 FPS versus 110 FPS, a 122 FPS difference. At 4K, the gap narrows to 121 FPS versus 58 FPS, a 63 FPS difference. This narrowing gap at higher resolutions suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU even at low settings, but the GPU's raw throughput becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. The data indicates that for this game, the processor is rarely the bottleneck, and the graphics card dictates the playable experience at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptionally high frame rates. With Low settings, the average is 367 FPS. Medium settings yield an average of 260 FPS, with a minimum of 221 FPS and a maximum of 299 FPS. High settings produce an average of 184 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to an average of 175 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is never challenged, and even the most demanding preset maintains an average above 170 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but begins to show the GPU's workload. Low settings achieve an average of 232 FPS. Medium settings average 164 FPS, with a minimum of 140 FPS and a maximum of 189 FPS. High settings average 116 FPS, and Ultra settings average 110 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across presets, with roughly a 37-40% reduction in average FPS. The minimum FPS for Medium settings at 1440p is 140 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the system's performance becomes more moderate. Low settings achieve an average of 121 FPS. Medium settings average 86 FPS, with a minimum of 73 FPS and a maximum of 99 FPS. High settings average 61 FPS, and Ultra settings average 58 FPS. The data shows that at 4K, the Medium preset is the highest setting that consistently stays above 60 FPS, with a minimum of 73 FPS. The High and Ultra presets both hover near the 60 FPS mark, with averages of 61 and 58 FPS respectively, which could result in occasional dips below the refresh rate of a standard 60Hz monitor.

The scaling pattern across resolutions is consistent. The difference between 1080p and 1440p is roughly 37% for all presets, while the difference between 1440p and 4K is roughly 47-48% for all presets. This indicates that the game's rendering pipeline scales predictably with pixel count, and the GPU's memory bandwidth and processing power are the primary factors determining performance at higher resolutions. The CPU's role is minimal in this scaling, as the frame rates remain high even at the lowest settings, confirming that the processor is not a bottleneck.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is a key component in this configuration, and its specifications provide insight into the measured performance. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, with a memory bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s. This large memory buffer is well-suited for simulation games like Pc Building Simulator, which may load many assets and textures. The base clock is 1660 MHz, with a boost clock of 2970 MHz and a game clock of 2400 MHz. The memory clock is 2518 MHz, which translates to 20.1 Gbps effective.

The GPU's benchmark scores indicate a strong overall performance, with a Passmark G3D score of 26795 and a Passmark GPU Compute score of 15864. However, its percentile rank of 55 places it below the median of all GPUs. This is surprising given its specifications, but the data shows that its nearest rivals are significantly older or lower-tier cards. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 7260 is a more modern benchmark, and the Geekbench Vulkan score of 65879 suggests strong compute performance. The GPU's average benchmark score of 13543 is the basis for its percentile ranking.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role becomes more apparent at 4K resolution. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is 58 FPS, which is close to the 60 FPS target. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s is likely sufficient for the game's texture streaming, but the shading units (4096) and texture mapping units (256) are the components that determine pixel throughput. The GPU's pixel rate of 380.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 760.3 GTexel/s are high, but the game's workload at 4K Ultra is demanding enough to bring the frame rate down to 58 FPS.

The comparison to the GPU's nearest rivals is instructive. The AMD Radeon HD 7770M, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, NVIDIA P106-090, and AMD Radeon Pro 555 all have similar average benchmark scores, but they are all much older or lower-power components. This suggests that the Passmark benchmark may not fully capture the RX 9070 XT's capabilities, particularly its ray tracing cores (64) and DirectX 12 Ultimate support. In this game, which does not appear to use ray tracing, the GPU's raw rasterization performance is what matters most, and the data shows that it is sufficient for high frame rates at 1440p and playable frame rates at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of which settings presets offer the best experience for this combo. At 1920x1080, all presets deliver high frame rates, with even Ultra settings averaging 175 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 192 FPS, which is a significant margin, but both are playable. For 1080p users, the Ultra preset is recommended, as it provides the best visual quality without sacrificing performance, given that the average frame rate is well above 144Hz.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 110 FPS, which is still high but begins to show the GPU's workload. The High preset averages 116 FPS, which is a marginal improvement over Ultra. The Medium preset averages 164 FPS, which is a substantial jump. For 1440p users, the High preset is the best recommendation, as it offers a good balance of visual quality and performance, with an average of 116 FPS. The Ultra preset is also viable, but the 6 FPS difference between High and Ultra does not justify the potential visual improvements for most users.

At 3840x2160, the choices are more constrained. The Low preset averages 121 FPS, which is smooth, but the visual quality is likely too poor for a modern game. The Medium preset averages 86 FPS, with a minimum of 73 FPS, which is a solid experience for a 60Hz display. The High preset averages 61 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 58 FPS. For 4K users, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it maintains an average of 86 FPS and a minimum of 73 FPS, ensuring consistent performance above the 60 FPS threshold. The High and Ultra presets are playable but may experience occasional dips below 60 FPS, which could be noticeable on a standard refresh rate monitor.

The data shows that the Medium preset is the most versatile across all resolutions. At 1080p, it averages 260 FPS, at 1440p it averages 164 FPS, and at 4K it averages 86 FPS. This consistency makes it a safe default for users who want to avoid tuning individual settings. However, for users with high refresh rate displays, the High or Ultra presets at 1440p offer a better balance of visual fidelity and performance, with averages above 110 FPS. The measured minimum FPS values for Medium settings (221 at 1080p, 140 at 1440p, and 73 at 4K) indicate that this preset provides the most stable frame pacing, making it the recommended choice for users who prioritize consistency over absolute visual quality.
