Pc Building Simulator

The data for Pc Building Simulator with the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 shows a configuration that scales predictably across resolutions, with the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck only at higher fidelity settings. The combination ranks in the 75th percentile of tested configurations for this title, indicating strong but not top-tier performance. The benchmark results reveal a system capable of delivering high frame rates at 1440p, while 4K performance depends heavily on the graphics preset selected.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 and then to 3840x2160 illustrates a classic scaling pattern, where the CPU’s headroom at lower resolutions gives way to GPU limitation at higher pixel counts. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 365.9 FPS, which is exceptionally high and suggests that the i5-13400F is not a limiting factor at this resolution. Moving to 1440p Low, the frame rate drops to 229.1 FPS, a reduction of approximately 37%, while 4K Low yields 119.7 FPS, a further 48% decline from 1440p.

The scaling pattern changes substantially when settings are increased. At Ultra settings, the frame rate goes from 173.2 FPS at 1080p, to 111.2 FPS at 1440p (a 36% drop), and then to 58.5 FPS at 4K (a 47% drop from 1440p). This indicates that the RTX 4070 is the dominant component at Ultra settings, as the workload scales almost linearly with pixel count. In contrast, the 1080p Low result of 365.9 FPS versus the 4K Low result of 119.7 FPS shows a 67% reduction, which is steeper than the 4x pixel count increase would suggest, indicating that even at Low settings, the GPU’s memory bandwidth and shading capacity are being taxed at 4K.

The data shows that Pc Building Simulator is not a heavily threaded title, and the i5-13400F’s 16 threads provide ample capacity. The 10-core, 16-thread processor with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz can sustain high frame rates at 1080p, but the GPU’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth become the deciding factor as resolution increases. The 4K High result of 58.1 FPS versus the 4K Medium result of 85.8 FPS highlights how dramatically the preset level impacts GPU load, with High and Ultra both falling below the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific CPU-GPU pairing ranks 439 out of 1769 tested combinations in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 25% of all configurations. The percentile ranking of 82 for the CPU and 81 for the GPU on their respective benchmark scales suggests a balanced pairing, where neither component is significantly underpowered relative to the other. The i5-13400F’s average benchmark score of 25236 places it in close competition with the Intel Core i7-13620H, which scores 25201 (a 0.1% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D, which scores 25365 (a -0.5% delta).

The RTX 4070’s average benchmark score of 37283 is slightly below the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56’s 37507 (-0.6% delta), but it is notably ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5300M, which scores 36371 (a 2.5% delta). The ranking data indicates that this combo is not at the top of the leaderboard, but it is far from the bottom, and the measured FPS results confirm that it delivers playable performance at most settings. The 439th rank out of 1769 combos means there are 438 configurations that perform better in this specific game, which is expected given that the RTX 4070 is a mid-range to upper-mid-range GPU in the current market.

The gap between this combo and higher-ranked ones likely comes from GPU-bound scenarios at 4K, where the RTX 4070’s 192-bit memory bus and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth limit performance compared to cards with wider buses. The CPU’s 82nd percentile ranking indicates it is not a weak link, and the data supports this: at 1080p Low, the system achieves over 360 FPS, which is far beyond display refresh rates for most users.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its peak performance. With Low settings, the average FPS is 365.9. Medium settings reduce this to 259.1 FPS, while High settings yield 184.2 FPS. Ultra settings produce the lowest 1080p result at 173.2 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution shows a 53% reduction in frame rate, indicating that the GPU is handling most of the load.

At 2560x1440, the results are still strong but show more GPU pressure. Low settings average 229.1 FPS, which drops to 164.2 FPS at Medium. High settings achieve 115.8 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 111.2 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 1440p is only 4.6 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset adds minimal graphical complexity that the GPU can handle without a major penalty.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings average 119.7 FPS, which is still playable, but Medium drops to 85.8 FPS. High settings average 58.1 FPS, and Ultra settings average 58.5 FPS. Interestingly, the Ultra result is slightly higher than High at 4K, which could be due to test variance, but both fall below the 60 FPS mark. The 4K Low result of 119.7 FPS is roughly 33% of the 1080p Low result, showing the significant impact of rendering four times the pixels.

The data shows that for smooth 60+ FPS gameplay, users should stick to 1440p High or 4K Medium settings. The 1080p results are all well above 170 FPS, making this combo ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors at that resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the dominant component in this pairing for Pc Building Simulator, as evidenced by the frame rate scaling across resolutions. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 504.2 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for the textures and assets in this simulation game, but the 192-bit memory bus limits performance at 4K Ultra compared to higher-end cards. The GPU’s boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1920 MHz allow it to reach a texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s, which are the key metrics for this game’s rendering workload.

The RTX 4070’s 5888 shading units and 64 ROPs handle the game’s geometry and pixel fill requirements effectively at 1080p and 1440p. At 4K, the GPU’s FP32 performance of 29.15 TFLOPS is still substantial, but the memory bandwidth becomes the limiting factor, as seen in the 4K High result of 58.1 FPS. The card’s 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are not heavily utilized in Pc Building Simulator, which is primarily a rasterization-focused title, so the game’s performance is more dependent on raw shader throughput and memory bandwidth.

The GPU’s 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs aligns with its measured performance in this game. The nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, has a slightly higher average benchmark score (37507 vs 37283), but the RTX 4070’s modern architecture and 12 GB frame buffer give it an advantage in this title, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU’s TDP of 200 W and dual-slot design are appropriate for its performance class, and the PCIe 4.0 x16 interface provides sufficient bandwidth for the data transfer demands of the game. The RTX 4070’s role is clear: it is the component that determines whether the system hits 60 FPS at 4K, and it does so only at Medium settings or below.
