Pc Building Simulator

The Intel Core i7-13700K and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT combination delivers a data-rich performance profile in Pc Building Simulator, a Simulation title released in 2019. The benchmark results, measured directly, show that this pairing is capable of extreme frame rates, often exceeding what high-refresh displays can utilize. The data positions this combo as a high-end performer, though its rank and FPS vary significantly based on resolution and graphical preset, revealing distinct bottlenecks between the CPU and GPU.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is central to this combo’s performance, particularly in a simulation game where logic and system state calculations are constant. The CPU features 16 cores and 24 threads, a configuration that benefits from its hybrid architecture of performance and efficiency cores. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz, boosting up to 5.40 GHz, ensuring high single-thread responsiveness for game logic while providing ample multi-threading capacity for background simulation tasks. The processor’s 30 MB of shared L3 cache helps keep the game’s asset data close at hand, reducing latency.

The CPU’s synthetic benchmark scores are robust. In Cinebench R23, it scores 39,000 points multi-core and 5,505 single-core. This strong single-core result is crucial for Pc Building Simulator, which likely relies on a primary game thread for simulation ticks. The processor’s overall average benchmark score is 47,282, placing it in the 93rd percentile versus all CPUs. When compared to its nearest rivals, the performance is tightly clustered. It scores effectively the same as the Intel Core i7-13700KF, with a deltaPct of -0.1%. It is 0.3% ahead of the AMD EPYC 4364P and 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i9-12900F, but trails the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 by 0.5%. This indicates that while the 13700K is a top-tier chip, the marginal gains over its direct competitors are minimal in synthetic tests.

In the game’s measured FPS, the CPU’s influence is most evident at lower resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 365.2 FPS, a figure that is less about raw GPU power and more about the CPU’s ability to feed frames quickly. The CPU’s high boost clock and strong IPC are what allow the system to reach such high frame rates, preventing the processor from becoming the limiting factor before the GPU's workload increases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how this hardware scales with resolution and settings. The performance envelope is wide, from a low of 58.7 FPS to a high of 365.2 FPS.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the GPU is the primary bottleneck. With Ultra settings, the average FPS is 59.2, which is playable but not high-refresh territory. Lowering to High settings yields 58.7 FPS, a negligible change that suggests the Ultra preset is not significantly more demanding than High at this resolution. Medium settings jump to 84.3 FPS, a substantial 43.6% increase over High, showing that the graphical preset has a non-linear impact. Low settings nearly double the frame rate to 119.9 FPS, making 4K gaming smooth on a 120Hz display. The data shows that for 4K, the RX 9070 XT is the limiting factor, as the CPU has more than enough headroom.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the balance shifts. Ultra settings produce 111.3 FPS, which is a solid high-refresh experience. High settings are close at 114.7 FPS, showing a more linear scaling than at 4K. Medium settings reach 165.1 FPS, a significant uplift for competitive play or very smooth visuals. Low settings hit 231.2 FPS, which is exceptional and far beyond what most monitors can display. The gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings is 365.2 FPS versus 231.2 FPS, indicating that the GPU workload is scaling up, but the CPU is still keeping pace without bottlenecking.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the CPU becomes the star. Low settings produce 365.2 FPS, which is an enormous frame rate, indicating the game is very CPU-bound at this point. Medium settings drop to 258.7 FPS, a 29% decrease, as the GPU starts to work harder. High settings yield 183.4 FPS, and Ultra settings drop further to 173.8 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 1080p is only 9.6 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset is not much more demanding than High for this game, but the frame rates are still incredibly high. The data shows that at 1080p, even with a powerful GPU, the i7-13700K is able to push frame rates into the hundreds, making the system highly responsive.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is the other half of this powerful pairing. This GPU is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture and the Navi 48 chip, manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC. It has a base clock of 1660 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost clock of 2970 MHz, allowing it to scale its performance dynamically. The GPU is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s. This large memory pool is more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator, which is not a VRAM-intensive title, ensuring there are no memory-related stutters.

The GPU’s performance in synthetic benchmarks is strong. It scores 26,795 in Passmark G3D and 18,4026 in Geekbench Vulkan, placing it in the 82nd percentile versus all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 39,647. Compared to its nearest rivals, the RX 9070 XT is 0.1% behind the AMD Radeon Pro 575 and 0.2% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile. It is 0.5% behind the AMD Radeon Pro 575X and 0.6% behind the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64. This indicates that while the GPU is fast, its synthetic scores are closely matched with these specific workstation and older flagship cards, though in this game, its raw power is more than enough.

The GPU’s role in the measured FPS is most apparent at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate is 59.2 FPS, which is a typical result for a high-end GPU on a demanding setting. The GPU's 48.66 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is being fully utilized here. As the resolution drops, the GPU’s workload lessens, allowing the CPU to take over and push frame rates to extreme levels. The RX 9070 XT’s high 2970 MHz boost clock and 380.2 GPixel/s pixel rate ensure that even at 1440p High settings, the combo can maintain 114.7 FPS, proving it is not a bottleneck until 4K. The data shows this GPU is an excellent match for the i7-13700K, providing a balanced system that excels in simulation games.
