Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that responds strongly to both CPU and GPU resources, and the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers a high-refresh-rate experience across all tested settings. This combination places in the 95th percentile of all tested combos for this game, ranking 171st out of 3723, indicating that it sits near the top of the performance stack. The data shows a system that is capable of maxing out high-refresh monitors at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K remains entirely playable at high settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, with the most dramatic shift occurring between 1080p and 1440p. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 470 FPS at 1920x1080 to 297 FPS at 2560x1440, a substantial 173 FPS decrease that indicates the GPU is being pushed harder as pixel count rises. Moving from 1440p to 4K at Low settings further reduces the average to 155 FPS, showing another 142 FPS loss, which confirms that the RTX 4080’s rendering load scales heavily with resolution.

At the High preset, the pattern holds but with less extreme absolute numbers. The system delivers 235 FPS at 1080p, 148 FPS at 1440p, and 78 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is 87 FPS, while the gap between 1440p and 4K is 70 FPS. This indicates that the game becomes progressively more GPU-bound as resolution climbs, with the CPU’s role diminishing at higher pixel counts.

The Ultra preset shows a similar trajectory: 224 FPS at 1080p, 141 FPS at 1440p, and 74 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is only 4 FPS lower than the 4K High result, suggesting that the Ultra preset’s additional graphical demands are relatively modest on this hardware at that resolution. The data indicates that at 1080p, the system is likely CPU-limited even at Ultra settings, as the 224 FPS Ultra result is not far off the 235 FPS High result, while the Low preset’s 470 FPS shows the ceiling for this CPU-GPU pairing.

The limiting component shifts based on resolution. At 1080p Low, the 470 FPS result likely approaches the CPU’s maximum frame throughput for this game. At 1440p and especially 4K, the GPU becomes the primary constraint, as evidenced by the tighter FPS spread across settings at higher resolutions. The 4K results range from 74 to 155 FPS across presets, showing that the RTX 4080 has significant headroom but cannot maintain the triple-digit averages seen at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination achieves a rank of 171 out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 4.6 percent of all systems tested. This is a strong result that puts the combo ahead of the vast majority of alternatives, and the data confirms that this pairing is well-suited for high-refresh gaming in this title.

The CPU’s benchmark scores support this ranking. The Ryzen 7 9700F has an average benchmark score of 69996, which places it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX with an average score of 69875 (a 0.2 percent difference) and the Intel Core i7-14700KF at 70163 (a -0.2 percent difference). These margins are negligible, meaning the 9700F performs essentially identically to these alternatives in synthetic tests, which translates to similar gaming performance in CPU-bound scenarios.

The GPU also ranks high. The RTX 4080 has an average benchmark score of 54247, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the RTX 4080 SUPER at 54209 (a 0.1 percent difference), followed by the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54828 (a -1.1 percent difference). The RTX 4080 is effectively on par with the SUPER variant, and it outperforms the W5700X by about 1.1 percent in aggregate benchmarks.

In the context of this game, the combo rank of 171 indicates that the pairing is well-balanced. The CPU’s strong single-thread performance, reflected in its PassMark single-thread score of 4691, helps push high frame rates at 1080p, while the GPU’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth ensure that texture-heavy scenes at 4K do not cause stuttering or frame drops.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 plays a critical role in this combo’s performance, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute capabilities become the deciding factors. The card features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. This is ample for Pc Building Simulator, which is not known for extreme VRAM consumption, but the capacity ensures that even 4K Ultra settings do not exceed available memory.

The GPU’s clock speeds are 2205 MHz base and 2505 MHz boost, with memory running at 1400 MHz (22.4 Gbps effective). These clocks contribute to a peak FP32 performance of 48.74 TFLOPS, which is more than sufficient for a simulation title that does not heavily utilize ray tracing or advanced effects. The card’s 9728 shading units and 304 texture mapping units handle the game’s rendering pipeline efficiently, while its 112 ROPs manage pixel output.

At 4K Ultra, the RTX 4080 delivers 74 FPS, which is a solid result for a demanding resolution and preset combination. The fact that 4K High only improves this to 78 FPS suggests that the Ultra preset’s additional effects are computationally expensive relative to their visual impact. The GPU’s 86th percentile ranking reflects its overall capability, and the data shows that it is the primary driver of performance at 1440p and 4K, where the CPU’s influence diminishes.

The GPU’s role is also evident in the scaling from Medium to High to Ultra at each resolution. At 1440p, the FPS drops from 210 (Medium) to 148 (High) to 141 (Ultra), showing that the GPU is the bottleneck as settings increase. At 1080p, the same progression goes from 333 to 235 to 224, with the CPU likely limiting the Ultra preset’s frame rate more than the GPU.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which presets deliver the best experience for different refresh-rate targets. For 4K displays, the High preset at 78 FPS offers a smooth experience on 60 Hz monitors, while the Ultra preset at 74 FPS is also viable for those who prioritize visual fidelity over a few extra frames. The Medium preset at 110 FPS is the best choice for 4K users with 120 Hz displays, as it provides a significant FPS boost over High while maintaining acceptable visual quality.

At 1440p, the Ultra preset delivers 141 FPS, which is ideal for 144 Hz monitors and provides a near-maximum visual experience without sacrificing smoothness. The High preset at 148 FPS is nearly identical in performance and may be preferable for users who want a slight FPS buffer. The Medium preset at 210 FPS is overkill for most displays but demonstrates the headroom available for competitive play or high-refresh 240 Hz panels.

For 1080p, the Ultra preset at 224 FPS is the recommended choice for 240 Hz monitors, as it provides the best visual quality while still exceeding the refresh rate of most high-end displays. The Medium preset at 333 FPS is the best option for 360 Hz esports-style play, though the visual downgrade from Ultra may not be worth it for a simulation game. The Low preset at 470 FPS is unnecessary for any current display and should only be used for benchmark purposes.

The data suggests that the High and Ultra presets offer the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. The Medium preset provides a substantial FPS boost but at the cost of visual fidelity, which may be noticeable in a game that involves detailed PC component models. The Low preset is not recommended for normal play, as the frame rates far exceed display capabilities and the visual reduction is severe.
