GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the primary driver of performance in Pc Building Simulator, especially at higher resolutions. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides a 504.2 GB/s bandwidth, which is ample for the game's asset streaming. Its 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power and 5888 shading units are the key specifications behind the high frame rates observed.

The data reveals a clear correlation between GPU load and resolution. At 3840x2160, the frame rate drops by roughly half when moving from Low to Ultra settings (121.8 FPS to 56.4 FPS), indicating the GPU is the bottleneck. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz ensures it can sustain high throughput during complex scenes, but the 200 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU highlight its power requirements. With a 2.5% lead over the AMD Radeon RX 5300M in raw benchmarks, the RTX 4070 proves to be a potent force, though it sits slightly behind the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A by 1.9%.

How This Combo Ranks

In the specific context of Pc Building Simulator, the Intel Core i5-14400F and RTX 4070 combination achieves a rank of 405 out of 1769 tested combos. This places it in the top 23% of all configurations, a strong result that reflects its balanced capabilities. While the RTX 4070's raw benchmark score is 37283, placing it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs, the in-game ranking shows how this specific pairing performs in a simulation workload.

The CPU's 88th percentile ranking (score 32508) is a significant contributor to this high placement. The performance delta between the CPU and its nearest rivals is minimal, with a 0% difference from the Intel Core i7-12800H, which means the processor provides a consistent foundation for the GPU. This combination of a top-quartile GPU and a high-percentile CPU results in a system that is well-above average for this title, ensuring a smooth experience across all settings and resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at performance across three resolutions and four quality presets.

At 1920x1080, the system is exceptionally fast. The Low preset yields an average of 367.8 FPS. This drops to 261.7 FPS on Medium, 183.5 FPS on High, and 177.1 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from High to Ultra is small (6.4 FPS), while the jump from Low to Medium is massive (106.1 FPS), suggesting a significant increase in GPU workload at the Medium preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains very high. The Low preset averages 229.3 FPS. Medium settings produce 164.2 FPS, High settings yield 116.8 FPS, and Ultra settings deliver 111.2 FPS. The pattern is similar to 1080p, with the gap between High and Ultra being just 5.6 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is fully engaged. Low settings average 121.8 FPS, which is still very playable. This drops to 86.3 FPS on Medium, 58.4 FPS on High, and 56.4 FPS on Ultra. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 2 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset's additional effects provide diminishing returns at this resolution.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F plays a crucial role in ensuring the RTX 4070 is not bottlenecked, particularly at resolutions below 4K. With 10 cores and 16 threads, it provides ample parallelism for the game's simulation logic. Its base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.70 GHz allow it to handle both sustained loads and bursty single-threaded tasks, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3093.

The CPU's 20 MB of shared L3 cache is beneficial for keeping frequently accessed data close to the cores. The benchmark results show it is a formidable processor, with a multi-core score of 21914 in Cinebench R23 and a Passmark multithread score of 25783. The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU is the limiting factor, as the frame rates (e.g., 367.8 FPS at 1080p Low) far exceed what the GPU can render in more demanding scenarios. This is a classic sign of a powerful GPU paired with a capable, but not top-tier, CPU.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K (3840x2160), the data suggests that the Medium preset (86.3 FPS) offers the best balance of visual quality and smoothness. While Ultra (56.4 FPS) is playable, the 30 FPS jump to Medium provides a much more fluid experience. The High preset (58.4 FPS) offers minimal improvement over Ultra for a significant performance cost.

At 1440p (2560x1440), the High preset (116.8 FPS) is the clear sweet spot. It provides a substantial visual upgrade over Medium (164.2 FPS) while maintaining a frame rate well above 100 FPS. The Ultra preset (111.2 FPS) is only 5.6 FPS slower, so users with high-refresh monitors can consider it if they prefer maximum fidelity.

For 1080p (1920x1080), the Ultra preset (177.1 FPS) is recommended. The high frame rates at this resolution mean that even with all settings maxed out, the system delivers a buttery-smooth experience. Users on 240Hz monitors will still see a major benefit, and the performance headroom is so large that there is no need to compromise on visuals.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates the transition from a CPU-bound to a GPU-bound system. At 1080p Ultra, the system averages 177.1 FPS. Moving to 1440p Ultra drops this to 111.2 FPS, a 37.2% decrease. The jump to 4K Ultra results in 56.4 FPS, a further 49.3% decrease from 1440p.

This pattern is consistent across all settings. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p (367.8 FPS) to 1440p (229.3 FPS) is 37.7%, and then to 4K (121.8 FPS) is 46.9%. The larger percentage drops at higher resolutions indicate that the GPU's rendering capabilities are becoming the primary constraint. At 1080p, the CPU is likely the limiting factor, as the frame rates are extraordinarily high. The data points to the RTX 4070 being fully utilized at 4K, while at 1080p, the i5-14400F's single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 score of 3093) is what sets the ceiling.
