# Pc Building Simulator with Intel Core i5-11400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title from 2019 that stresses both CPU and GPU depending on the scene, and the data shows this combo of an Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 handles the game with room to spare at most settings. The i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread Rocket Lake part with a 2.60 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost, while the RTX 3070 brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth. Across the measured rows, this pairing delivers playable frame rates at every resolution, but the scaling pattern reveals where the bottleneck shifts. The combo ranks 802nd out of 1769 tested configurations, placing it in the upper-middle tier of all tested combos for this game, with the CPU sitting at the 75th percentile among all CPUs and the GPU at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep but consistent with a GPU-bound workload at higher resolutions. At High settings, average FPS falls from 151 at 1920x1080 to 96 at 2560x1440, then to 50.4 at 3840x2160 — that is a 36% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and another 48% drop from 1440p to 4K. The pattern repeats across all settings presets. At Low settings, the numbers are 300.9 FPS at 1080p, 190.5 at 1440p, and 101 at 4K. The 4K figure at Low is still well above 60 FPS, which tells you the RTX 3070 has enough headroom for this game's modest demands.

The scaling behavior changes character when you compare Low to Ultra. At 1080p, the gap between Low (300.9 FPS) and Ultra (143.7 FPS) is a factor of 2.1, meaning the GPU is doing substantially more work per frame at Ultra. At 4K, the Low-to-Ultra gap narrows to a factor of 2.1 as well (101 vs 49 FPS), but the absolute numbers show that the GPU is the limiting component at 4K Ultra — dropping to 49 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target. The i5-11400F's 12 threads are sufficient to feed the RTX 3070 at 1080p, where the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, but at 4K the GPU's compute limits dominate. The data indicates that this is a GPU-limited scenario at higher resolutions and higher settings, with the CPU rarely being the constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 802nd out of 1769 tested combinations for Pc Building Simulator, which places it in the 55th percentile of all tested combos — a solid mid-pack result. This is not a top-tier ranking, but the game is not particularly demanding, and the frame rates achieved are far above what most users would consider playable. The CPU's nearest rivals in overall benchmark scores include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (deltaPct of 0), the Intel Core i7-1260P (deltaPct of -0.2), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U (deltaPct of -0.2), meaning the i5-11400F performs within 0.2% of these alternatives in general compute. The GPU's nearest rivals are the AMD FirePro S7150 (deltaPct of -0.6), the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (deltaPct of 0.9), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (deltaPct of 1), so the RTX 3070 is roughly 1% ahead of a GTX 980 Ti in average benchmark score.

What this ranking means in practice: the combo is not in the top tier for this game, but the measured FPS numbers show that ranking position is not indicative of a poor experience. The 802nd place out of 1769 combos reflects a balanced mid-range pairing that delivers 143.7 FPS at 1080p Ultra and 93.4 FPS at 1440p Ultra — numbers that most users would consider excellent for a simulation game. The CPU's 75th percentile standing among all CPUs and the GPU's 72nd percentile standing suggest both components are well above average, but neither is a flagship part. The data shows that for Pc Building Simulator specifically, this combo is more than adequate, and the ranking is dragged down by the sheer number of higher-end configurations tested rather than by any deficiency in this pairing.

GPU Role

The RTX 3070 is the workhorse in this pairing, and its specifications explain the measured results. The GPU has 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs, with a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1725 MHz. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus, yielding 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. For a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, which relies heavily on asset loading and scene complexity, the memory bandwidth is likely more important than raw compute. The GPU's FP32 performance is 20.31 TFLOPS, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, which the game can leverage for modern rendering features.

The measured FPS numbers show the GPU scaling predictably with settings. At 1080p, the jump from Low (300.9 FPS) to Medium (211.3 FPS) to High (151 FPS) to Ultra (143.7 FPS) shows diminishing returns as settings increase. At 4K, the same pattern holds: Low (101 FPS), Medium (73.9 FPS), High (50.4 FPS), Ultra (49 FPS). The 4K Ultra result of 49 FPS is the only sub-60 FPS measurement in the entire dataset, and it indicates that the RTX 3070's 8 GB memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for most scenarios but stretched at the highest resolution and settings. The GPU's 72nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 28238, puts it slightly behind the AMD FirePro S7150 (28409) and slightly ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (27985) and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (27956). In practical terms, this means the RTX 3070 is a capable mid-high tier card that handles Pc Building Simulator's demands without breaking a sweat except at the extreme end.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the results are uniformly excellent. Low settings produce an average of 300.9 FPS, Medium 211.3 FPS, High 151 FPS, and Ultra 143.7 FPS. All four presets are above 140 FPS, meaning the RTX 3070 is not stressed at this resolution, and the i5-11400F's 12 threads are sufficient to avoid any CPU bottleneck. The gap between High and Ultra is only 7.3 FPS (151 vs 143.7), suggesting that the jump to Ultra adds visual fidelity without a proportional frame rate cost.

At 2560x1440, the numbers remain strong. Low settings yield 190.5 FPS, Medium 132.5 FPS, High 96 FPS, and Ultra 93.4 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at High settings is 55 FPS (151 to 96), which is a 36% reduction. At Ultra, the drop is 50.3 FPS (143.7 to 93.4), a 35% reduction. These are substantial but expected reductions as pixel count increases. The 1440p Ultra result of 93.4 FPS is well above the 60 FPS threshold, making this resolution a sweet spot for the combo.

At 3840x2160, the GPU starts to show its limits. Low settings produce 101 FPS, Medium 73.9 FPS, High 50.4 FPS, and Ultra 49 FPS. The High and Ultra presets both fall below 60 FPS, which is a notable drop from the 1440p results. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 1.4 FPS (50.4 vs 49), indicating that the Ultra preset is not adding much visual benefit over High at this resolution while costing performance. The Low setting at 4K still delivers 101 FPS, so users who prioritize frame rate over visual quality have options even at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the best experience at 1080p is the Ultra preset, which delivers 143.7 FPS — there is no reason to use lower settings when the game runs this well. At 1440p, Ultra also remains the best choice at 93.4 FPS, as it stays well above 60 FPS and provides the highest visual quality. At 4K, the data suggests High settings (50.4 FPS) or Medium settings (73.9 FPS) are the practical choices, with Medium offering a comfortable margin above 60 FPS and High hovering just below it. The Ultra preset at 4K (49 FPS) provides only a 1.4 FPS improvement over High, which is not worth the small gain in visual fidelity given the frame rate penalty.

For users with a 60 Hz display, the recommended setup is 1440p Ultra or 4K Medium. The 4K Medium result of 73.9 FPS gives headroom above 60 FPS, and the visual difference between Medium and High at 4K is typically less noticeable than the 23.5 FPS gap between them (73.9 vs 50.4). For users with a 144 Hz display, 1080p Ultra (143.7 FPS) or 1440p High (96 FPS) are the best options, with the latter being close to the refresh rate but not quite there. The data clearly shows that the combo is overkill for Pc Building Simulator at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, users must make a trade-off between visual quality and frame rate.
