Pc Building Simulator with Intel Core i7-12700K + AMD Radeon RX 9070, In-Depth Analysis
Pc Building Simulator is a Simulation title with a release date of 2019-01-28, and the measured average FPS rows for the Intel Core i7-12700K + AMD Radeon RX 9070 combination show a fast pairing that scales predictably with resolution. At 1920x1080, the fastest measured preset is Low at 345.7 FPS and the slowest is Ultra at 165.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, the range runs from 219.5 on Low to 104.7 on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the range runs from 113.6 on Low to 53.5 on Ultra. The combination ranks 552 out of 1769 tested combos in this game, with the CPU at the 89th percentile and the GPU at the 79th percentile.
Resolution Scaling
Resolution has a greater effect on FPS than preset changes in this data. The Low preset drops from 345.7 at 1920x1080 to 219.5 at 2560x1440, then to 113.6 at 3840x2160. The Medium preset drops from 242.5 to 156.3 to 80.9. The High preset drops from 171.7 to 111.2 to 58.8. The Ultra preset drops from 165.5 to 104.7 to 53.5. Every settings row shows a large FPS loss at each higher resolution. This pattern is consistent with the GPU becoming the limiting component as pixel count rises. At 1920x1080, the CPU can support very high frame rates; at 3840x2160, the GPU workload dominates, and the FPS falls by a substantial margin across all presets. The measured rows do not include min or max FPS values, so this analysis is based on average FPS only.
Settings Recommendations
Using the measured rows alone, the best presets are Ultra at 1920x1080, High at 2560x1440, and Medium at 3840x2160. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 165.5 and High averages 171.7; the difference between these two is small, so the highest preset is reasonable. Medium and Low are faster at 242.5 and 345.7, but neither is necessary for a high frame rate at this resolution. At 2560x1440, High gives 111.2 and Ultra gives 104.7. Medium gives 156.3, but it lowers the settings level enough that High is the better measured compromise. At 3840x2160, Medium averages 80.9, which is the highest preset in the data that remains comfortably above the High result of 58.8. Ultra at 53.5 is the slowest measured row in the entire dataset, so it is harder to recommend at this resolution. Low at 113.6 is the fastest, but it offers a much lower settings level than Medium.
CPU Role
The Intel Core i7-12700K is a 12-core, 20-thread Alder Lake-S processor with a base clock of 3.60 and a boost clock of 5.00. It is built on Intel's 10 nm process and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. Its cache includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 25 MB of shared L3. The CPU's average benchmark score is 35684, and its percentile vs all CPUs is 89.
In multi-thread benchmarks, it scores 29241 in Cinebench R23, 12281 in Cinebench R20, 2947 in Cinebench R15, 13892 in Geekbench, and 34404 in Passmark. In single-thread benchmarks, it scores 4128 in Cinebench R23, 1733 in Cinebench R20, 415 in Cinebench R15, 2561 in Geekbench, and 4013 in Passmark. The 3DMark thread scaling results are 1043 at one thread, 2065 at two threads, 4011 at four, 7202 at eight, 9276 at 16, and 9979 at max threads. This scaling shows that the 12-core/20-thread design delivers meaningful throughput across multiple threads.
The CPU's nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845, Intel Core i7-13700T, Intel Core i5-14500HX, and Intel Core i7-13800H, with deltaPct values of -0.3, 0.6, -0.7, and 0.8 respectively. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's single-thread strength is visible in the 1920x1080 Low result of 345.7, because that is the least GPU-limited row in the dataset. At higher resolutions, the CPU is not the bottleneck; the FPS drops follow the GPU workload.
