Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: this combination of Intel Core i5-14600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti scales predictably across the three tested resolutions, with the steepest drop occurring between 1440p and 4K. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo produces 204.6 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same preset, the average falls to 126.3 FPS, a reduction of 78.3 FPS. The jump to 3840x2160 at Ultra yields 68 FPS, which is 58.3 FPS lower than the 1440p result. This demonstrates that the GPU becomes the dominant limiting factor as pixel count increases, with the 4K Ultra result dipping below the 70 FPS threshold that many simulators aim to maintain.

The scaling behavior is even more pronounced at lower settings. At Low settings, the combo achieves 431.8 FPS at 1080p, 269.8 FPS at 1440p, and 143.1 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low is roughly 37.5%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is approximately 47%. This steeper decline at higher resolutions indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti's memory bandwidth and pixel throughput are being saturated. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth and 208.8 GPixel/s pixel rate are the specifications that come into play here, and the data shows that they are sufficient for high-refresh 1440p gaming but not for maintaining triple-digit averages at 4K.

At Medium settings, the progression is 306 FPS at 1080p, 190.7 FPS at 1440p, and 100.7 FPS at 4K. This represents a smooth, nearly linear scaling pattern, suggesting that the game's engine handles the transition between presets consistently. High settings show a similar trend: 214 FPS at 1080p, 137.6 FPS at 1440p, and 70 FPS at 4K. The fact that High and Ultra results at 4K are separated by only 2 FPS (70 vs 68) suggests that the game's Ultra preset adds graphical features that are particularly demanding at 4K, while the High preset is more balanced for that resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, provides the computational foundation for these results. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a critical factor for a simulation game that may load many assets. The GPU's boost clock of 2610 MHz, combined with 7680 shading units and 240 tensor cores, allows it to handle the physics calculations and rendering tasks that Pc Building Simulator requires. The 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is the raw compute figure that correlates with the high frame rates observed at lower resolutions.

The GPU's 85th percentile ranking among all GPUs, based on its average benchmark score of 44900, places it in the upper tier of available hardware. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (deltaPct -0.6), Intel Arc A730M (deltaPct -1.5), and AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (deltaPct -1.6), meaning the RTX 4070 Ti sits within 1.6% of these alternatives in aggregate performance. However, the measured FPS data in this specific game shows that the GPU is not the bottleneck at 1080p, where the CPU's capabilities are more relevant. The Intel Core i5-14600KF, with its 14 cores and 20 threads, has a boost clock of 5.30 GHz and a 24 MB shared L3 cache, which supports high frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios.

The RTX 4070 Ti's memory clock of 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) and 80 ROPs contribute to its 208.8 GPixel/s fill rate. These specifications are what allow the card to maintain 143.1 FPS at 4K Low settings, a result that indicates the GPU can still deliver playable frame rates even when the resolution is pushed to its maximum. The 285 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU are power requirements that the system must meet, but the performance data shows that the card's thermal headroom is sufficient for sustained loads in this simulation title.

Settings Recommendations

For 1920x1080, the data indicates that the Ultra preset is the best choice for maximizing visual quality without sacrificing performance. The 204.6 FPS average is well above the refresh rate of most monitors, and the 9.4 FPS difference between High and Ultra is negligible. Players with 144 Hz or 240 Hz displays will find that Ultra settings at 1080p provide the full experience of this simulation game.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset remains the recommended option, as the 126.3 FPS average comfortably exceeds the 120 Hz threshold that many 1440p monitors offer. If a player prioritizes maximum frame rates, the High preset at 137.6 FPS provides a modest 11.3 FPS improvement, but the visual fidelity loss may not justify this small gain. The Medium preset at 190.7 FPS is only advisable for competitive play where frame rate is paramount, which is unlikely in a simulation genre.

For 3840x2160, the recommendation depends on the display's refresh rate. The High preset at 70 FPS is the best balance for a standard 60 Hz 4K display, as it provides a 2 FPS advantage over Ultra while likely offering slightly lower visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at 68 FPS is also playable, but the margin above 60 FPS is thin. Players with 120 Hz 4K displays should consider the Medium preset at 100.7 FPS, which provides a more comfortable buffer while still delivering good visual quality. The Low preset at 143.1 FPS is only recommended for players who prioritize smoothness over everything else, as the graphical compromise is substantial. Overall, the data shows that this combo is best utilized at 1440p with Ultra settings, where it delivers both high fidelity and high frame rates.
