Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, the High preset is the recommended choice across all resolutions. The data consistently shows that High settings offer a significant performance headroom over Ultra while providing a much better visual experience than Medium. At 1920x1080, High delivers 196 FPS, which is more than enough for any high refresh rate display. Moving to 2560x1440, High still maintains an excellent 124 FPS, making it ideal for 144Hz monitors. Even at 3840x2160, High achieves a playable 65 FPS, which is a modest improvement over Ultra's 62 FPS.

The Ultra preset is only viable for users with a 60Hz display at 4K, as it produces an average of 62 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra yields 118 FPS, but the jump from High to Ultra only provides marginal visual gains that do not justify the performance cost. The Medium preset offers a large performance boost—175 FPS at 1440p and 92 FPS at 4K—but the visual compromise is often too great in a game where reading component details is important. The Low preset is not recommended for a system of this caliber, as it produces extremely high frame rates (392 FPS at 1080p) but sacrifices the graphical fidelity that makes the simulation engaging.

The performance scaling from High to Ultra is consistent, with an approximate 5-6% decrease in average FPS at each resolution. This suggests that the High preset is the most efficient point on the performance curve, offering the best "bang for the buck" in terms of frames per visual quality. For users who prefer maximum visual quality, the data shows that 1440p Ultra (118 FPS) is a better choice than 4K High (65 FPS), as the higher pixel density compensates for the lower in-game settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the system is heavily CPU-limited, particularly at lower settings. The jump from Low (392 FPS) to Medium (278 FPS) is a 29% decrease, and from Medium to High (196 FPS) is another 29% decrease. This steep drop-off indicates that the CPU is struggling to keep up with the GPU's rendering capability at lower settings, making the Ryzen 7 9700X the bottleneck at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the scaling becomes more balanced. The frame rates drop to 248 FPS (Low), 175 FPS (Medium), and 124 FPS (High). The percentage decrease from Low to Medium is 29%, and from Medium to High is 29%, which is nearly identical to the 1080p pattern. However, the absolute frame rates are lower, suggesting that the GPU is beginning to take on more of the workload. The 1440p to 4K transition is where the GPU bottleneck becomes fully apparent.

Moving to 3840x2160, the frame rates drop to 129 FPS (Low), 92 FPS (Medium), and 65 FPS (High). The decrease from 1440p to 4K is roughly 48% at Low settings (248 to 129 FPS), 47% at Medium (175 to 92 FPS), and 48% at High (124 to 65 FPS). This near-uniform percentage drop across all settings confirms that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at 4K. The RTX 5070's pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s are being fully utilized at this resolution.

The data indicates that the RTX 5070 is the dominant component in this pairing for Pc Building Simulator. The CPU's influence is only apparent at 1080p with lower settings, where the frame rates exceed what the GPU can render, and even then, the Ryzen 7 9700X's strong single-thread performance (3dmark_single_thread score of 1280) ensures that the frame rate remains exceptionally high. At 1440p and above, the GPU's capabilities are the deciding factor in performance.
