The Intel Core i7-14700KF is 0.2% behind at 70,163, while the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X trails by 0.7% at 69,515, and the Intel Core i7-14700K is 0.9% behind at 69,355. These are remarkably small margins, meaning that swapping the Ryzen 7 9700F for any of these near-identical performers would produce virtually indistinguishable results in Pc Building Simulator. Similarly, the GPU’s nearest rivals show the RTX 4080 SUPER’s average score of 54,209 is within 2.8% of the AMD Radeon 8060S at 55,757, and within 2.7% of the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55,698. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is essentially tied at 54,247, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the SUPER variant offers no meaningful performance advantage in this title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for this combo reveals a clear pattern: the system delivers playable frame rates at every settings preset, but the optimal choice depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1080p, the Ultra preset still produces an average of 223 FPS, which is far beyond what any standard display can show. The High preset at 1080p averages 234 FPS, a marginal 5% improvement over Ultra, while Low pushes to 468 FPS and Medium hits 331 FPS. For a game like Pc Building Simulator, where visual fidelity matters for the simulation experience, the Ultra preset at 1080p is the clear recommendation, as the 223 FPS average provides massive headroom and the visual quality is maximized without any performance concern.

At 1440p, the Ultra preset averages 141 FPS, which remains exceptionally smooth and suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors. The High preset at 1440p delivers 148 FPS, a modest 5% gain, while Medium reaches 209 FPS and Low hits 295 FPS. Given that the difference between Ultra and High is only 7 FPS, the Ultra preset is the sensible choice for 1440p gaming, as it provides the best visual experience while still easily exceeding 60 FPS and even 120 FPS thresholds. The Medium preset at 209 FPS offers a significant jump in frame rate, but for a simulation game where the action is not fast-paced, the visual benefits of Ultra outweigh the marginal performance gain.

At 4K, the situation becomes more nuanced. The Ultra preset averages 73 FPS, which is playable but not as buttery-smooth as the lower resolutions. The High preset at 4K averages 77 FPS, a 5% improvement over Ultra, while Medium reaches 109 FPS and Low hits 154 FPS. For 4K, the High preset is the recommended balance, as it offers a 5% frame rate boost over Ultra with minimal visual degradation, while still maintaining a 77 FPS average that is comfortably above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 109 FPS is also a strong option for those who prioritize frame rate over visual quality, but the data suggests that High is the sweet spot for 4K on this hardware.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K is a clear indicator of where the bottleneck lies in this system. At the High preset, the average FPS drops from 234 at 1080p to 148 at 1440p, a 37% reduction, and then to 77 at 4K, a further 48% reduction from the 1440p figure. This steep decline as resolution increases points to the GPU being the primary limiting factor, as the rendering load scales directly with pixel count. The RTX 4080 SUPER’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth are sufficient to handle the higher resolutions, but the raw compute power of the GPU is what determines the frame rate at 4K.

The Low preset shows an even more dramatic scaling pattern: 468 FPS at 1080p, 295 FPS at 1440p, and 154 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 37%, and from 1440p to 4K is 48%, exactly matching the High preset’s scaling. This consistent percentage reduction across different settings presets strongly suggests that the GPU is the bottleneck at all quality levels, as the CPU’s workload does not change significantly with resolution. The Ryzen 7 9700F’s 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient to feed the GPU at any resolution, as evidenced by the fact that the frame rate drops are purely proportional to the pixel count increase.

Interestingly, the scaling from 1080p to 4K is not perfectly linear, which indicates that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and cache hierarchy are also playing a role. At 1080p, the GPU is likely not fully utilized, allowing the CPU to push frame rates higher, but as resolution increases, the GPU becomes the sole limiting factor. The 4K results, with a 77 FPS average at High settings, show that the RTX 4080 SUPER is being pushed to its limits, but the system still delivers a smooth experience. The data confirms that for this combo, the GPU is the performance ceiling, and any upgrade path would involve a more powerful graphics card rather than a faster processor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across all settings. The Low preset averages 468 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the entire dataset. Medium settings produce an average of 331 FPS, with a minimum of 282 FPS and a maximum of 381 FPS, showing consistent frame delivery with no noticeable dips. High settings average 234 FPS, while Ultra settings average 223 FPS, a difference of only 5% between the two highest quality presets. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the CPU is the primary driver of performance, as the GPU is far from being saturated at any settings level.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high. Low settings average 295 FPS, which is still more than enough for any high-refresh-rate gaming monitor. Medium settings deliver 209 FPS on average, with minimums of 178 FPS and maximums of 240 FPS, demonstrating stable performance even during demanding scenes. High settings average 148 FPS, while Ultra settings average 141 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 61 FPS, which is more pronounced than the gap between High and Ultra at 7 FPS, suggesting that the visual quality differences between Medium and High have a more significant impact on the GPU’s workload.

At 3840x2160, the performance scales down as expected, but remains playable at all settings. Low settings average 154 FPS, which is still smooth for 4K gaming. Medium settings average 109 FPS, with minimums of 93 FPS and maximums of 126 FPS, ensuring that even the worst-case frame drops stay above 90 FPS. High settings average 77 FPS, while Ultra settings average 73 FPS. The 4K results show that the Ultra preset is the most demanding, with the 73 FPS average being the lowest measured in the entire dataset, but still comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 109 FPS is the standout option at 4K, offering a 48% improvement over High with only a moderate reduction in visual quality.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for Pc Building Simulator, as evidenced by the resolution scaling analysis. The GPU’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than adequate for this simulation game’s texture and asset demands. The base clock of 2295 MHz and boost clock of 2550 MHz allow the card to maintain high utilization across all settings, with the measured FPS data showing that the GPU scales predictably with resolution and quality presets. The card’s 10,240 shading units and 112 ROPs deliver a 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 compute capability, which is substantial but not the absolute highest in the RTX 40-series lineup.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 54,209 places it in the 86th percentile of all graphics cards, and its nearest rivals show that it is closely matched with the RTX 4080 at 54,247 (-0.1% delta) and the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54,828 (-1.1% delta). The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and AMD Radeon 8060S are 2.7% and 2.8% behind, respectively, indicating that the RTX 4080 SUPER is a solid mid-to-high-tier performer but not an outlier. In Pc Building Simulator specifically, the GPU’s role is most apparent at 4K, where the frame rates drop significantly from lower resolutions, confirming that the graphics card is the limiting factor at higher pixel counts.

The RTX 4080 SUPER’s 320W TDP and triple-slot design are notable, but the measured performance data speaks for itself. The card’s DirectX 12 Ultimate support with 12_2 feature level ensures full compatibility with modern game engines, and the 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores provide additional compute resources that may benefit from future game updates. However, in Pc Building Simulator, the standard rasterization performance is what drives the results, and the data shows that the GPU delivers consistent frame rates across all measured configurations without any signs of thermal throttling or memory bottlenecks.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F serves as the foundation for this system, and its role in Pc Building Simulator is to provide sufficient compute throughput to keep the GPU fed at lower resolutions. The CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 5 architecture with a 4 nm process, deliver strong single-threaded performance with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core help reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for simulation games that often have complex logic and asset loading. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 69,996 places it in the 94th percentile of all processors, making it one of the stronger CPUs in the database.

The CPU’s nearest rivals highlight its competitive positioning. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX is 0.2% ahead, while the Intel Core i7-14700KF is 0.2% behind, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X is 0.7% behind. These tiny deltas mean that the Ryzen 7 9700F is essentially equivalent in performance to these alternatives for Pc Building Simulator. The PassMark single-thread score of 4,691 and multithread score of 36,470 indicate that the CPU excels in both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded workloads, which is important for a game that may use multiple threads for simulation logic while keeping the main game loop on a single core.

In the measured FPS data, the CPU’s influence is most visible at 1080p, where the frame rates are exceptionally high. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 468 FPS, which is likely near the game engine’s maximum frame rate or the CPU’s limit for draw call processing. As resolution increases, the GPU takes over as the bottleneck, and the CPU’s performance becomes less critical. The Ryzen 7 9700F’s 65W TDP and 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth are sufficient for this workload, and the data shows no signs of CPU-related stuttering or frame pacing issues, with the Medium preset minimums staying close to the averages across all resolutions. Overall, the CPU provides ample headroom for the RTX 4080 SUPER, ensuring that the GPU is the sole performance limiter at higher resolutions while the CPU shines at 1080p.
