How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 616 out of 1769 tested configurations indicates that it outperforms roughly 65% of all tested systems in Pc Building Simulator. This is a strong showing for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The data suggests that the i5-10400F, despite being a 10th Gen part, is not a significant bottleneck in this simulation title, allowing the RTX 4070 to flex its muscle. The CPU's average benchmark score of 14168 places it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, which is respectable for a six-core, twelve-thread processor. However, the GPU is clearly the star of the show, with its 81st percentile ranking among all graphics cards, indicating that the visual fidelity and frame rates are largely dictated by the RTX 4070’s capabilities.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the primary driver of performance in Pc Building Simulator, as evidenced by the measured FPS data. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 192-bit memory bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for the textures and assets in a building simulation game. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz, combined with its 5888 shading units, allows for substantial parallel processing. The 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores also signify that the card is future-proofed for any ray-traced effects, even though the measured data does not specify whether they are enabled. The GPU's 81st percentile ranking among all graphics cards underscores its high-end positioning. The fact that the GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, is only 0.6% higher in average score shows that the RTX 4070 is competitively placed. The performance gap between the RTX 4070 and the i5-10400F is vast; the GPU's compute score of 14720 in Passmark reflects its ability to handle complex graphical workloads without breaking a sweat.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear performance hierarchy based on resolution and settings. At 1080p, the system is exceptionally fast, with the lowest average being 172.9 FPS at Ultra settings. The jump from Ultra to Low at 1080p is significant, moving from 172.9 to 257.9 FPS, a 49% increase. At 1440p, the system remains highly capable, with Ultra settings producing 109.8 FPS and Low settings reaching 216.5 FPS. The transition from High to Ultra at 1440p is minimal, with only a 3.7 FPS difference (113.5 vs 109.8 FPS), suggesting that the game engine is not heavily taxing the GPU at these settings. At 4K, the system begins to show its limits. Ultra settings yield 58.7 FPS, while High settings produce nearly identical results at 58.9 FPS. This indicates that the game is hitting a performance ceiling at 4K with high visual fidelity. However, dropping to Medium settings at 4K brings the average up to 85.8 FPS, and Low settings achieve a playable 119.2 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates where the bottleneck lies. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 182.7 at 1080p to 113.5 at 1440p (a 38% decrease) and then to 58.9 at 4K (a 68% decrease from 1080p). This steep decline is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the rendering resolution has a direct and substantial impact on performance. The same pattern holds for Ultra settings, where the frame rate falls from 172.9 FPS at 1080p to 109.8 FPS at 1440p and finally to 58.7 FPS at 4K. The data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor here; the i5-10400F can feed the GPU enough data to maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions, but the RTX 4070's workload increases disproportionately with pixel count. Interestingly, the drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is only 16% (from 257.9 to 216.5 FPS), while the drop from 1440p to 4K at Low settings is 45% (from 216.5 to 119.2 FPS). This indicates that at Low settings, the GPU has more headroom, and the scaling is more linear, but at higher settings, the GPU's raw compute power is the primary constraint. In summary, the RTX 4070 is the performance arbiter, and users seeking 4K Ultra should expect to stay at 60 FPS, while those prioritizing high refresh rates should stick to 1440p or 1080p.
