Pc Building Simulator

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows for Pc Building Simulator reveal a clear pattern: the Ultra preset delivers the most visually demanding experience, but it comes at a significant performance cost. At 1080p, Ultra averages 174.9 FPS, which is still exceptionally smooth, but the gap between presets widens dramatically as resolution increases. The High preset offers a more balanced trade-off, producing 182.8 FPS at 1080p, 116.5 FPS at 1440p, and 59.3 FPS at 4K. This last figure is critical—4K High stays just above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the highest visual quality setting that remains playable at that resolution. Medium at 4K (88.7 FPS) provides a comfortable cushion above 60 FPS, while Low at 4K (119.7 FPS) doubles the High preset's frame rate. For users prioritizing maximum smoothness, Low at 1440p delivers 231.1 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display. The data suggests that High is the recommended preset for most scenarios: it preserves substantial visual fidelity while keeping 4K viable, and at lower resolutions it still produces triple-digit frame rates. Ultra, by contrast, only makes sense for users with 1080p displays who want every visual detail, since the 174.9 FPS result remains well above typical refresh rates.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070's memory configuration plays a decisive role in this simulation game. With 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, the card delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth—a figure that becomes relevant when considering Pc Building Simulator's asset-heavy nature. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1920 MHz, combined with 5888 shading units, provide the raw compute headroom evident in the benchmark scores. The card's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854 and Passmark G3D score of 26927 place it in the 81st percentile among all GPUs, indicating strong general-purpose gaming performance. Interestingly, the nearest rivals data shows the RTX 4070 trailing the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 by 0.6% in average benchmark score, while sitting 1.9% behind the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A and 2.2% behind the RTX 4080 Mobile. This suggests that while the card is competitive, its synthetic benchmark standing doesn't fully predict its gaming behavior. The measured FPS data indicates that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at 4K Ultra, where the frame rate drops to 56.8 FPS—below the 60 FPS target. The architecture's 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores suggest ray tracing and DLSS capabilities, though the measured data doesn't include those specific workloads. The 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process, explain the card's efficiency in maintaining high frame rates even at demanding settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K tells a compelling story about where the bottleneck lies. At Low settings, the drop from 368.7 FPS at 1080p to 119.7 FPS at 4K represents a 67.5% reduction—a massive hit that indicates the GPU is being pushed harder as pixel count increases. However, the relative scaling differs across presets. At High settings, the 1080p result of 182.8 FPS falls to 116.5 FPS at 1440p (a 36.3% drop) and then to 59.3 FPS at 4K (a further 49.1% drop from 1440p). This non-linear decline suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is likely limiting performance, since the frame rates are so high that the i5-14600KF's processing power becomes the constraint. As resolution increases, the GPU takes over as the limiting factor. The Ultra preset shows a similar pattern: 174.9 FPS at 1080p, 111.4 FPS at 1440p, and 56.8 FPS at 4K. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows as resolution increases—at 1080p, the difference is 193.8 FPS (368.7 vs 174.9), but at 4K, it shrinks to 62.9 FPS (119.7 vs 56.8). This compression indicates that higher resolutions amplify GPU-bound scenarios, making the settings choice less impactful when the GPU is already saturated. The data implies that for Pc Building Simulator, users with 1080p or 1440p displays can afford to crank settings up, while 4K users must make careful trade-offs to stay above 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 produces exceptional results across all presets. Low settings yield 368.7 FPS, Medium drops to 257.5 FPS, High manages 182.8 FPS, and Ultra still delivers 174.9 FPS. Even the lowest figure is far above any practical refresh rate, making 1080p a non-issue for this combination. Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong: Low hits 231.1 FPS, Medium achieves 165.1 FPS, High produces 116.5 FPS, and Ultra stays at 111.4 FPS. All of these exceed 60 FPS by a wide margin, and even the Ultra figure supports high-refresh monitors. At 3840x2160, the picture changes. Low settings deliver 119.7 FPS, which is still very playable, and Medium produces 88.7 FPS—both comfortable for 60 Hz displays. High drops to 59.3 FPS, barely clearing the 60 FPS threshold, while Ultra falls to 56.8 FPS, dipping below it. This breakdown reveals that 4K Ultra is the only configuration in the entire dataset that fails to maintain 60 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows diminishing returns: at 1080p, the drop from Low to Ultra is 193.8 FPS (52.6% reduction), at 1440p it's 119.7 FPS (51.8% reduction), and at 4K it's 62.9 FPS (52.5% reduction). The consistent percentage drop across resolutions suggests that the settings scaling is uniform, even though the absolute frame rates vary significantly.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-14600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 413th out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the pairing in the top 23.4% of all tested configurations, which is a solid result given the game's simulation nature. The rank percentile indicates that while this combo is above average, there's substantial headroom in the ranking—many other CPU/GPU pairings achieve higher frame rates. The CPU's average benchmark score of 49367 places it in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU's 81st percentile rank suggests the graphics card is the weaker link in this pairing. The nearest rivals for the CPU include the Intel Core i5-14600K (0.4% higher average score), AMD EPYC 4345P (0.5% lower), AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (0.6% higher), and Intel Xeon Gold 5318H (1.4% higher). For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (0.6% higher), NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A (1.9% higher), RTX 4080 Mobile (2.2% higher), and AMD Radeon RX 5300M (2.5% lower). The rank of 413 out of 1769 suggests that many combinations with more powerful GPUs or CPUs outperform this setup, but the measured FPS data shows that for Pc Building Simulator specifically, this combo handles all tested scenarios except 4K Ultra with ease.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14600KF brings substantial processing power to this pairing. With 14 cores and 20 threads, the CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are evident in its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 32889 and Geekbench multicore score of 15636. The single-core performance is equally strong, with R23 single-core at 4643 and Geekbench single-core at 2778. The boost clock of 5.30 GHz and base clock of 3.50 GHz, combined with 24 MB of shared L3 cache, provide the responsiveness that simulation games often require. The Passmark multithread score of 38697 and integer math score of 125982 indicate strong computational throughput. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions. The 1080p Low result of 368.7 FPS suggests the CPU is capable of driving extremely high frame rates, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. The CPU's nearest rivals show it's closely matched with the i5-14600K (0.4% difference), which makes sense given they share the same architecture. The 125W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 compatibility make this a mainstream desktop part, and the unlocked multiplier allows for overclocking, though the measured data doesn't include overclocked results. The CPU's 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs reinforces that this processor is a strong performer, but the game's frame rates at 4K Ultra (56.8 FPS) indicate that the GPU is the bottleneck in the most demanding scenario.
