Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title focused on the assembly and repair of computers, presents an interesting workload that differs significantly from typical AAA shooters. The benchmark data for the Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti reveals a configuration that scales predictably with resolution and settings, but with a distinct performance profile that highlights the CPU's strength and the GPU's limitations at higher graphical presets.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the High preset, the average frame rate drops from 158.2 FPS at 1080p to 100.3 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 57.9 FPS. Moving to 4K, the average plummets further to 54.7 FPS, which represents a 65.4% decrease from the 1080p figure. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 3070 Ti becomes the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the pixel count and shading demands overwhelm the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6X memory and 21.75 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly telling. At 1440p High, the system achieves 100.3 FPS, a figure that is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay. However, at 4K High, the frame rate drops below the 60 FPS threshold to 54.7 FPS, suggesting that the GPU is struggling to maintain playable performance at the highest resolution. The data shows a similar trend across all settings, with the gap between 1080p and 4K widening as the preset quality increases. For instance, at Low settings, the 1080p average of 318.9 FPS drops to 106.3 FPS at 4K, a 212.6 FPS difference. This behavior is characteristic of a system where the CPU is not the bottleneck at lower resolutions, but the GPU's rendering capacity is quickly saturated at 4K.

Interestingly, the scaling between Medium and High presets at each resolution is relatively moderate. At 1440p, the average FPS goes from 140.3 at Medium to 100.3 at High, a 40 FPS drop. This suggests that the incremental cost of moving from Medium to High is significant, but the jump from High to Ultra is less severe, with only a 3.6 FPS difference at 1440p (from 100.3 to 96.7 FPS). At 4K, the Ultra preset yields 49.3 FPS, which is only 5.4 FPS lower than High, indicating that the GPU is already saturated and additional settings have diminishing returns.

How This Combo Ranks

In the global benchmark database, this CPU-GPU combination ranks 679th out of 1769 tested combos for Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 38.4% of all configurations. This ranking reflects a solid but not exceptional pairing. The CPU itself is a high-end part, with an average benchmark score of 47282 and a percentile ranking of 93 against all CPUs, indicating it outperforms 93% of all tested processors. Its nearest rivals in CPU benchmarks are the Intel Core i7-13700KF, which scores 47334 (a 0.1% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945, which scores 47527 (a 0.5% delta). The i7-13700K sits just below these parts, with a slight deficit of 0.1% to the KF variant and 0.5% to the Ryzen 9 PRO 5945.

The GPU, however, is less dominant in its own right. The RTX 3070 Ti has an average benchmark score of 30849 and a percentile ranking of 74 against all GPUs, meaning it outperforms 74% of tested graphics cards. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6700, which scores 31112 (a 0.8% delta), and the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME, which scores 30755 (a 0.3% delta). The RTX 3070 Ti is effectively tied with these parts, with a delta of -0.8% against the RX 6700 and 0.3% against the RX 590 GME.

Given these individual component strengths, the combo's rank of 679 out of 1769 suggests that the pairing is well-balanced but not optimized for top-tier performance in this specific simulation title. The data indicates that the CPU is more than capable of feeding the GPU, but the GPU's mid-range positioning limits the overall combo ranking. For a game like Pc Building Simulator, which is likely more dependent on single-threaded CPU performance than GPU throughput, the i7-13700K's strong single-core scores (e.g., 5505 in Cinebench R23 single-core) help maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions, but the GPU becomes the bottleneck at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional frame rates across the board. The Low preset achieves an average of 318.9 FPS, which drops to 227.2 FPS at Medium, 158.2 FPS at High, and 152.9 FPS at Ultra. The difference between High and Ultra at 1080p is a modest 5.3 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset adds minimal additional load at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain highly playable but show a more pronounced drop. The Low preset averages 200.8 FPS, a 118.1 FPS decrease from 1080p. Medium settings yield 140.3 FPS, High settings yield 100.3 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 96.7 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1440p represents a 104.1 FPS reduction, which is a 51.8% decrease, suggesting that the GPU is beginning to feel the pressure of higher pixel counts.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more constrained. The Low preset averages 106.3 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 212.6 FPS drop from 1080p. Medium settings average 74.3 FPS, High settings average 54.7 FPS, and Ultra settings average 49.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that dips below 50 FPS, highlighting the GPU's limitations at the highest resolution. The data shows that the RTX 3070 Ti can handle 4K at Low settings with relative ease, but struggles to maintain smooth gameplay at higher presets.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear choice, as it delivers an average of 152.9 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The 5.3 FPS difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is negligible, so players should opt for Ultra to get the best visual quality without sacrificing performance.

At 2560x1440, the High preset offers the best balance, with an average of 100.3 FPS. This is comfortably above 60 FPS and provides a significant visual improvement over Medium settings. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 96.7 FPS, which is only 3.6 FPS lower than High, so players with high-refresh-rate monitors may still prefer Ultra, but the difference is minimal. The Medium preset at 140.3 FPS is also viable, but the visual fidelity reduction is noticeable compared to High.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. The High preset averages 54.7 FPS, which is slightly below the 60 FPS target, while the Ultra preset averages 49.3 FPS, which is noticeably less smooth. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset at 74.3 FPS is the recommended choice, as it provides a playable frame rate while maintaining a reasonable level of visual quality. The Low preset at 106.3 FPS is also an option for players who prioritize frame rate over visuals, but the Medium preset offers a better overall experience. The data suggests that this combo is best suited for 1440p gaming at High or Ultra settings, with 4K gaming requiring a compromise on preset quality to achieve acceptable performance.
