# Pc Building Simulator — Intel Core i5-12600KF + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

The Intel Core i5-12600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination delivers remarkably high frame rates across all tested settings in Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that clearly favors strong GPU throughput. With measured average FPS ranging from 68 at 4K Ultra to 394 at 1080p Low, the data indicates this pairing is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at lower resolutions, while the CPU begins to assert its influence at higher settings and resolutions. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, with its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth, provides ample headroom for the game's asset loading demands, while the i5-12600KF's 10 cores and 16 threads ensure the simulation logic never becomes a bottleneck.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear and consistent pattern of GPU-bound scaling. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 217 at 1920x1080 to 137 at 2560x1440, then further to 72 at 3840x2160 — representing a 36.9% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 47.4% reduction from 1440p to 4K. This steep decline strongly indicates that the rendering workload, not the CPU, is the limiting factor as pixel count increases.

The Low settings row tells an even more dramatic story. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 394 FPS average, falling to 274 FPS at 1440p Low and 143 FPS at 4K Low. The 4K Low result is still remarkably playable, but the 63.7% drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings suggests that even with minimal graphical load, the GPU is being pushed hard by the 4K pixel throughput. The gap between Low and Ultra at each resolution further confirms this: at 1080p, the spread from 394 FPS (Low) to 207 FPS (Ultra) is a 47.5% reduction, while at 4K, it narrows to 143 FPS (Low) versus 68 FPS (Ultra), a 52.4% reduction — the GPU is the primary constraint throughout.

Notably, the Medium preset provides the only complete min/max FPS data in the measured results, with 4K Medium showing 86 FPS minimum and 117 FPS maximum. This suggests that the game's Medium settings offer a particularly stable frame delivery window, which is valuable for understanding performance consistency at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the dominant component in this gaming scenario, and its specifications directly explain the observed performance. With 8448 shading units and a boost clock of 2610 MHz, the GPU delivers substantial raw compute power — measured at 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 — which is more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator's modest visual demands. The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, ensuring that texture streaming and asset loading at 4K resolution never starve the render pipeline.

The GPU's 76th percentile ranking among all GPUs, based on an average benchmark score of 31087, places it comfortably in the upper tier of graphics hardware. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA TITAN RTX (avg score 31676, deltaPct -1.9%) and NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (avg score 31532, deltaPct -1.4%), meaning the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER trails these workstation-class cards by less than 2% in synthetic benchmarks. In Pc Building Simulator specifically, this GPU's strengths translate to 207+ FPS at 1080p Ultra, confirming that the card has ample headroom for this title.

The GPU's 285 W TDP and triple-slot design indicate a power-hungry, physically large card (310 mm length, 61 mm width), but its performance in this game justifies the footprint. The 1313 MHz memory clock (21 Gbps effective) combined with the 256-bit bus yields the 672.3 GB/s bandwidth figure, which is critical for the high-resolution texture loads that Pc Building Simulator presents at 4K. The GPU's production status is listed as end-of-life, but its benchmark results here show it remains highly capable for simulation titles.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance for most users, particularly at 4K. At 3840x2160 Medium, the combo averages 101 FPS with a minimum of 86 FPS and maximum of 117 FPS — this is the only 4K configuration that provides full min/max data, indicating a stable frame window above the 60 FPS threshold. The 4K High preset dips to 72 FPS average, which is still playable but leaves less margin for demanding scenes, while 4K Ultra drops to 68 FPS average, pushing the lower bound of smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 137 FPS average, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. However, the Medium preset at 194 FPS (with min 165, max 223) provides a more substantial performance buffer while still looking respectable. For 1080p users, the Ultra preset at 207 FPS is the clear choice — it maximizes visual quality while maintaining frame rates well above any display's refresh capabilities.

The Low presets, while delivering extreme frame rates (394 FPS at 1080p, 274 FPS at 1440p, 143 FPS at 4K), are unnecessary for this combo since even Ultra settings remain playable. The data shows that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has enough headroom that players should never need to sacrifice visual quality for playable performance in Pc Building Simulator.
