How This Combo Ranks

The 598th rank out of 1769 combos places this pairing in the 66th percentile of all tested configurations in Pc Building Simulator. This is a strong showing, but the data reveals nuance: the CPU is a top-tier processor (93rd percentile among all CPUs), while the GPU sits slightly lower (87th percentile among all GPUs). The gap suggests the GPU is the primary limiter in this pairing, though the measured FPS figures show the combo still delivers excellent results. At 1080p Low, the system pushes 342.8 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display. Even at 4K Ultra, the 51.3 FPS average means the game remains playable, though users targeting 60 FPS at maximum settings would need to step down to High or Medium. The ranking reflects a configuration that is overkill for 1080p but still competitive at higher resolutions, making it a versatile choice for Pc Building Simulator's varied hardware demands.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K brings 16 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. This Raptor Lake-S architecture chip, built on Intel's 10 nm process, delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39000 and a single-core score of 5505. In Pc Building Simulator, where simulation logic and physics calculations can tax multiple threads, the CPU's multi-threaded capability is directly relevant. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 10717 and max-thread score of 12412 indicate strong scaling, which helps maintain frame rates when the game simulates complex PC building scenarios. The CPU's 30 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache reduce memory latency, while its 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms it is not a bottleneck in this configuration. Compared to its nearest rival, the i7-13700KF, the performance delta is negligible at -0.1%, meaning users lose virtually nothing with the non-F variant. The CPU's high single-thread performance (PassMark single-thread score of 4333) also ensures that the game's main thread, which often handles UI interactions and component placement, runs smoothly.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 342.8 FPS on Low, 241.7 FPS on Medium, 173.1 FPS on High, and 160.5 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, these figures drop to 213.6 FPS (Low), 150.3 FPS (Medium), 105.2 FPS (High), and 103.7 FPS (Ultra). At 3840x2160, the averages are 110.8 FPS (Low), 79.8 FPS (Medium), 55.7 FPS (High), and 51.3 FPS (Ultra). The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 53.2% reduction in FPS, indicating the GPU is the primary driver of performance changes. At 4K, the drop from Low to Ultra is 53.7% of the Low setting's performance, which is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario. The 1440p data shows the combo can comfortably exceed 100 FPS at High and Ultra settings, making it an excellent choice for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors. The 4K High result of 55.7 FPS is just below the 60 FPS threshold, but the Medium setting at 79.8 FPS provides a comfortable margin for smoother gameplay at that resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, based on the Navi 21 chip and RDNA 2.0 architecture, is a 7 nm GPU with 4608 shading units, 288 TMUs, and 128 ROPs. Its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for Pc Building Simulator's texture-heavy scenes. The GPU's boost clock of 2250 MHz and game clock of 2015 MHz, combined with a 20.74 TFLOPS FP32 performance, provide ample compute for the game's rendering demands. The 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it above the average, and its PassMark G3D score of 24980 confirms strong DirectX performance. Compared to rivals, the RX 6800 XT is 0.5% ahead of the Intel Arc A550M and 2.6% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, though it trails the NVIDIA RTX A1000 by 1.7%. The GPU's 16 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator, even at 4K Ultra, where the measured 51.3 FPS suggests memory capacity is not a limiting factor. The 72 ray tracing cores and DirectX 12 Ultimate support ensure the GPU can handle modern rendering features, though the game's performance is more dependent on raw rasterization throughput.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data suggests that the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and frame rate. For 1080p users, the Ultra preset at 160.5 FPS is the best choice, as it provides the highest visual fidelity while still delivering frame rates well above any display's refresh rate. At 1440p, the High preset at 105.2 FPS offers an excellent balance, but Ultra at 103.7 FPS is nearly identical in performance, making Ultra the recommended choice for those prioritizing visual quality. For 4K, the situation changes: Ultra at 51.3 FPS is playable but may feel less smooth on 60 Hz displays; High at 55.7 FPS is marginally better but still below 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 79.8 FPS is the sweet spot for 4K, providing a significant FPS boost over High with a modest visual trade-off. The Low preset at 110.8 FPS is only recommended for users targeting very high refresh rates at 4K, as the visual downgrade is substantial. Overall, the data indicates that Medium at 4K, High at 1440p, and Ultra at 1080p are the most balanced settings for this combo.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU-bound nature of this configuration. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 342.8 at 1080p to 213.6 at 1440p (a 37.7% reduction) and then to 110.8 at 4K (a 67.7% reduction from 1080p). At Ultra settings, the FPS drops from 160.5 at 1080p to 103.7 at 1440p (35.4% reduction) and to 51.3 at 4K (68.0% reduction from 1080p). This consistent ~68% reduction from 1080p to 4K across settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting component, as the CPU's performance headroom (evidenced by its high multi-threaded scores) is not being fully utilized at higher resolutions. The 1440p to 4K transition shows a more pronounced drop (51.9% at Low, 50.5% at Ultra), which aligns with the quadrupling of pixel count from 1440p to 4K versus the 2.25x increase from 1080p to 1440p. The data suggests that users seeking to maintain 60+ FPS at 4K should opt for Medium settings, while those with 1080p or 1440p displays can comfortably max out the game's settings without sacrificing frame rates.
