Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate, the benchmark data points to specific settings at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the High preset offers an excellent experience with an average of 117.1 FPS, leaving plenty of headroom for a high-refresh-rate monitor. While the Ultra preset is still playable at 109.6 FPS, the performance gain from dropping to High is marginal, making High the more efficient choice. The Medium preset is a strong fallback for those seeking even higher frame rates, hitting 163.9 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the clear recommendation. Averaging 75.8 FPS, it provides a smooth and visually rich experience. The Ultra preset is still viable at 71.2 FPS, but it offers diminishing returns for the performance cost. Dropping to Medium yields a significant boost to 104.5 FPS, which could be preferred for competitive play or if the user prioritizes frame rate over maximum detail.

At 3840x2160, the data reveals a difficult trade-off. High and Ultra settings yield nearly identical average FPS of 37.4 and 37.7 respectively, which is not smooth enough for a good experience. To achieve a playable frame rate at this resolution, users must drop to Low settings, which hit an average of 77 FPS. The Medium preset offers a middle ground at 56 FPS, but it still falls short of the 60 FPS target for many users. Therefore, for a 4K experience, Low settings are the only option that provides consistent, playable performance.

How This Combo Ranks

In the comprehensive database of tested hardware combinations for Pc Building Simulator, this pairing of the Intel Core i7-12700K and AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT secures the 1161st position out of 1769 total combos. This rank indicates that while the system is far from the bottom, it is also not near the top of the performance charts. The data shows this is a mid-to-low tier configuration for this specific title.

The ranking suggests that the GPU, which sits in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, is the limiting factor. The CPU, however, is a powerhouse, ranking in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. This large discrepancy in percentile ranking supports the notion that the processor's capabilities are not being fully utilized. The system's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU's performance in this specific game, despite the CPU being a top-tier component.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of the system's capabilities across different resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system is clearly capable of high frame rates. The average FPS scales from 109.6 on Ultra, to 117.1 on High, to 163.9 on Medium, and finally to 233.3 on Low. This progression shows a strong response to graphical settings at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains solid but decreases as expected. The average FPS drops to 71.2 on Ultra, 75.8 on High, 104.5 on Medium, and 146.5 on Low. The difference between High and Ultra is small, but the step down to Medium provides a significant frame rate boost. At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become apparent. The average FPS is 37.7 on Ultra, 37.4 on High, 56 on Medium, and 77 on Low. This shows a severe performance cliff at 4K with higher settings, making only the Low preset viable for smooth gameplay.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 280.3 GB/s. Its boost clock is rated at 2635 MHz, with a game clock of 2410 MHz. These specifications, combined with its 2048 shading units, are what the game has to work with, and the performance data shows its limits.

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the primary bottleneck in Pc Building Simulator, especially at higher resolutions. The dramatic drop in FPS from 1080p to 4K, particularly at High and Ultra settings, points directly to the GPU struggling with the increased pixel count and rendering load. The 8 GB VRAM buffer is likely sufficient for this game, but the raw compute power of the GPU is not enough to maintain high frame rates at 4K with demanding settings. Its PassMark G3D score of 17166 places it at the 72nd percentile, which is respectable but not in the high-end tier required for 4K gaming.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700K is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, features 25 MB of shared L3 cache, and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. This is a high-performance desktop processor, as evidenced by its strong benchmark scores.

The data shows the CPU is more than capable of handling Pc Building Simulator. Its 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35684, puts it in the top tier of processors. The results show that even when the GPU is heavily loaded at 4K, the CPU is not the limiting factor. The relatively small FPS difference between High and Ultra settings at 1440p, compared to the large jump to Medium, suggests the game's logic and physics simulation, which rely on the CPU, are handled with ease. The CPU's high single-threaded performance, indicated by a 3DMark single-thread score of 1043, is likely a key factor in its ability to keep up with the game's simulation demands.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates the GPU-bound nature of this configuration. At 1080p Ultra, the system achieves 109.6 FPS. Moving to 1440p Ultra, the FPS drops to 71.2, a 35% decrease. At 4K Ultra, the FPS falls to 37.7, which is a 66% drop from the 1080p figure. This pattern of steep decline with each resolution increase is classic behavior for a system where the GPU is the primary bottleneck.

The scaling also shows that the CPU is not a limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the system hits 233.3 FPS. This high frame rate is likely near the limit of what the game engine allows or what the CPU can feed to the GPU. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would see a much smaller difference between resolutions, as the CPU's workload (game logic, physics) does not change significantly with resolution. The fact that FPS scales down so dramatically with resolution confirms that the AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT is the component that determines the performance ceiling in Pc Building Simulator.
