How This Combo Ranks

The data places this i5-13400F and RTX 3070 Ti pairing at rank 688 out of 1769 tested combinations. This is a strong result, placing the setup in the upper-middle tier of the performance spectrum. The position indicates that while this is not an ultra-high-end enthusiast configuration, it is significantly more capable than a majority of tested systems.

The CPU is a key contributor here. With a percentile rank of 82 against all CPUs, the i5-13400F is a top-tier processor. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21279 and Geekbench multicore score of 10971 show substantial headroom for complex simulations. It sits nearly dead-even with its closest rivals, with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D being its closest competitor at just 0.5% faster. This means the CPU is not a bottleneck in this configuration.

The GPU, while ranking in the 74th percentile, is the component that holds the combo back from a higher overall rank. Its average benchmark score of 30849 is closely matched by the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME, which is an older, lower-tier card. The RTX 3070 Ti's relative standing is such that it is only 0.3% ahead of that rival, showing that its raw compute performance is not exceptional by current standards. However, the combination of a powerful CPU and a capable GPU results in a balanced system that performs well in this game.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates where the bottleneck lies. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo achieves 151.6 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 drops that to 95.8 FPS, a significant 37% reduction. At 3840x2160, the frame rate falls further to 51.9 FPS, another 46% drop from the 1440p result.

This pattern is consistent across all settings presets. For example, at High settings, the frame rate goes from 161.7 FPS at 1080p, to 99.5 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 51.8 FPS at 4K. The frame rate nearly halves with each step up in resolution, which is a classic indicator of a GPU-bound scenario.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the system has ample headroom, and the CPU and GPU are working in harmony. As resolution increases, the demand on the GPU's pixel and texture processing units grows exponentially. The RTX 3070 Ti, with its 6144 shading units and 192 texture mapping units, begins to struggle to keep up with the increased workload. This confirms that for 4K gaming, the GPU is the limiting component. For 1440p, the balance is much better, while 1080p is where this combo truly shines.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across all settings.

1920x1080:

• Low: 318.4 FPS
• Medium: 226.5 FPS
• High: 161.7 FPS
• Ultra: 151.6 FPS

At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high. The jump from Low to Ultra costs roughly half the performance, but even at Ultra, the system easily drives high-refresh-rate monitors.

2560x1440:

• Low: 198.5 FPS
• Medium: 141.5 FPS
• High: 99.5 FPS
• Ultra: 95.8 FPS

1440p performance is still very strong. Low settings push close to 200 FPS, while Ultra remains comfortably above 90 FPS. This resolution is the sweet spot for a 144Hz monitor with high settings.

3840x2160:

• Low: 103.2 FPS
• Medium: 73.6 FPS
• High: 51.8 FPS
• Ultra: 51.9 FPS

At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. While Low settings are still playable at over 100 FPS, higher presets drop below 60 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is negligible, showing that the GPU is saturated.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with the GA104 chip. It has 8 GB of GDDR6X memory, which is a fast and capable configuration for this game. The memory clock is listed as 1188 MHz with an effective data rate of 19 Gbps, providing a substantial 608.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This is more than sufficient for the textures and assets in Pc Building Simulator.

The GPU's compute capabilities are defined by its 6144 shading units and a boost clock of 1770 MHz. Its FP32 performance is rated at 21.75 TFLOPS. The benchmark scores show a Passmark G3D score of 23356 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 137518, which are solid numbers for a card in this class.

In this game, the GPU's role becomes more critical as resolution increases. At 4K, the system is clearly GPU-limited, as evidenced by the 51.8 FPS on High settings compared to 73.6 FPS on Medium. The card's 8 GB of VRAM is likely sufficient for this title, but the raw processing power is what prevents higher frame rates at 4K. Its performance relative to its nearest rivals is very close, with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 being just 0.8% faster in synthetic benchmarks, suggesting that in-game performance would also be closely matched.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the choice of settings depends heavily on the target resolution.

At 1920x1080: The Ultra preset is the clear recommendation. The system averages 151.6 FPS, which is exceptionally smooth and leaves plenty of headroom for any future updates or additional background tasks. There is no reason to compromise on visual fidelity at this resolution.

At 2560x1440: The High preset is the ideal balance. It delivers 99.5 FPS, which is close to a 100 Hz refresh rate experience. The Ultra preset only offers a small visual improvement but costs nearly 4 FPS. High settings provide a better performance-to-quality ratio here.

At 3840x2160: The Medium preset is the most playable option. It provides 73.6 FPS, which is smooth and responsive. High settings drop the frame rate to 51.8 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for a good experience. The Ultra preset offers no advantage over High, making Medium the only sensible choice for 4K gaming with this combo.

The data shows that this system is best utilized at 1080p or 1440p. At these resolutions, the i5-13400F and RTX 3070 Ti work together to deliver high frame rates with high visual quality. For 4K, the GPU simply does not have the horsepower to maintain high frame rates on demanding presets, and users should be prepared to lower settings to Medium for a playable experience.
