Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator with an AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti produces a dataset that is heavily skewed by resolution, with the CPU proving to be an unexpected bottleneck at lower settings. The measured frames per second (FPS) range from a modest 70 at 4K Ultra to a staggering 443 at 1080p Low, illustrating the vast performance envelope of this combination. The data suggests that while the RTX 5070 Ti is the primary driver at 4K, the Ryzen 7 9700F's capabilities become the limiting factor at 1080p, where frame rates are high enough to expose the CPU's processing limits.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and reveals a clear shift in the bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 443 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 279 FPS, a substantial 37% reduction. The jump to 4K Low further decreases performance to 146 FPS, which is another 48% drop from the 1440p result. This pattern indicates that at lower settings, the GPU is not the primary constraint at 1080p, but it quickly becomes more influential as the resolution increases.

The scaling with High settings tells a different story. At 1080p High, the average FPS is 221. At 1440p High, it falls to 140 FPS, a 37% decrease. The transition to 4K High yields 73 FPS, a 48% drop from 1440p. This consistent percentage drop between resolutions suggests that the system is becoming more GPU-limited at these higher settings, though the CPU still plays a role.

The most extreme scaling is observed at the Ultra preset. The system manages 211 FPS at 1080p Ultra. This drops to 133 FPS at 1440p Ultra, a 37% reduction. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate plummets to 70 FPS, which is a 47% drop from the 1440p result. The data shows that the 4K Ultra setting is the most demanding configuration tested, and the performance gap between 1440p and 4K is the largest single step, indicating the GPU is the primary limiting component at this resolution.

The scaling pattern across all settings shows that moving from 1080p to 1440p yields a similar percentage decrease in performance (around 37-38%). However, the drop from 1440p to 4K is slightly larger in absolute terms, suggesting that the RTX 5070 Ti's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 256-bit bus are being pushed harder at 4K. The data indicates that for players targeting 4K, the GPU will be the main factor, while at 1080p, the CPU's performance ceiling is more relevant.
