GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the dominant component in this combination for Pc Building Simulator, as evidenced by the measured FPS scaling across resolutions and settings. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory is ample for the simulation's asset loading and rendering tasks, and the high bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s ensures texture streaming keeps up with the CPU's requests. The GPU's boost clock of 2505 MHz, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process, delivers the raw compute power required for the game's visual output.

At 4K Ultra settings, the combination produces 74 FPS average, which is a demanding workload that primarily stresses the GPU's 9728 shading units and 112 ROPs. The GPU's 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores, while not explicitly utilized by this simulation's benchmarks, contribute to the overall architectural capability. The measured results show that the RTX 4080's 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 performance is sufficient to maintain high frame rates even at the most demanding settings, with the 4K Medium preset yielding 110 FPS average and a minimum of 93 FPS.

The GPU's pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s directly influence how quickly the scene can be rasterized and textured. At 1080p Low, the combination hits 436 FPS average, indicating that the GPU is far from a bottleneck at lower resolutions and settings. The RTX 4080's 16 GB VRAM capacity is particularly relevant for a building simulator, where complex scenes with many objects and materials can consume significant memory. The data suggests that this GPU provides a comfortable margin for the game's requirements, with no indication of VRAM limitations affecting performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 achieves a rank of 215 out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the configuration in the top 5.8% of all tested systems, indicating that it is a high-end setup capable of delivering excellent performance in this simulation title. The rank reflects the synergy between the CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads and the GPU's substantial compute resources, which together handle the game's simulation and rendering workloads effectively.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 89 against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 46881, confirms that it is a strong processor relative to the broader market. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 5900, which scores 46971 (0.2% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX, which scores 46654 (0.5% lower). This tight clustering indicates that the CPU is well-positioned among its peers, with performance differences that are negligible in practical terms.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 86 against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54247, similarly places it in the upper tier of graphics cards. Its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, scores 54209 (0.1% lower), showing that the original RTX 4080 remains competitive even against its successor. The combination's overall rank of 215 out of 3723 suggests that while there are faster configurations, this setup is firmly in the enthusiast tier, providing a high level of performance for Pc Building Simulator without reaching the absolute top of the charts.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 resolution, the combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates across all settings. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 436, while Medium settings produce 333 FPS average with a minimum of 283 FPS and a maximum of 383 FPS. High settings yield 235 FPS average, and Ultra settings still maintain 224 FPS average. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is heavily CPU-limited, as the GPU has significant headroom to render frames far faster than the simulation can feed it.

Moving to 2560x1440 resolution, the performance remains strong but shows the expected scaling. Low settings produce 297 FPS average, Medium settings hit 210 FPS average with a minimum of 179 FPS and a maximum of 242 FPS, High settings deliver 148 FPS average, and Ultra settings maintain 141 FPS average. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 32% on Low settings, but the system still provides smooth gameplay at all presets.

At 3840x2160 resolution, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck. Low settings produce 155 FPS average, Medium settings yield 110 FPS average with a minimum of 93 FPS and a maximum of 126 FPS, High settings deliver 78 FPS average, and Ultra settings drop to 74 FPS average. The 4K results show a clear progression where each increase in settings reduces frame rate, with Ultra settings nearly halving the Low-settings performance. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium of 93 FPS indicates that even in demanding scenes, the system maintains playable frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the workload shifts between CPU and GPU. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 436 FPS, while at 4K Low it produces 155 FPS, representing a 64.4% reduction. This dramatic drop at Low settings indicates that the GPU is not the limiting factor at 1080p; instead, the CPU's simulation and draw-call processing caps the frame rate. At 1080p Low, the GPU could theoretically render more frames, but the CPU cannot feed it fast enough.

Scaling to higher settings changes the dynamic. At Ultra settings, 1080p yields 224 FPS, while 4K yields 74 FPS, a 67.0% reduction. This larger relative drop at Ultra settings suggests that the GPU's rendering workload becomes more dominant as visual fidelity increases. The 4K Ultra result of 74 FPS is the lowest measured average, showing that the GPU is now the primary constraint, while the CPU's role becomes less significant at this resolution.

The Medium settings data provides the most complete picture with min and max FPS values. At 1080p Medium, the average is 333 FPS with a range of 283 to 383 FPS; at 1440p Medium, the average is 210 FPS with a range of 179 to 242 FPS; and at 4K Medium, the average is 110 FPS with a range of 93 to 126 FPS. The consistent drop in both average and minimum FPS as resolution increases confirms that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions, while the CPU's capability is sufficient to maintain high frame rates when the GPU is not saturated.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K provides the computational foundation for Pc Building Simulator, with 16 cores and 24 threads running at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. This Raptor Lake-S architecture processor, built on Intel's 10 nm process, has a 30 MB shared L3 cache and 2 MB L2 cache per core, which helps reduce memory latency for the simulation's frequently accessed data. The CPU's multi-threaded performance is notable, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30745 and a single-core score of 2116, demonstrating strong performance in both heavily threaded and single-threaded workloads.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is critical for managing the game's simulation logic, component interactions, and system state calculations. The 3DMark results show scaling from 1136 in single-thread to 12412 in max-thread tests, indicating that the processor can effectively use its many cores when the workload allows. The PassMark multi-thread score of 45887 and single-thread score of 4333 further confirm this balance, with the integer math score of 154446 and floating-point math score of 114867 showing strong arithmetic capability.

The CPU's performance relative to its nearest rivals is tightly clustered, with the Core i7-13700K's average benchmark score of 46881 sitting within 0.5% of the AMD Ryzen 9 5900, AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375, AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX, and Intel Xeon w3-2535. This indicates that the CPU is not a distinguishing factor in performance for this game; rather, the GPU determines the frame rates at higher resolutions and settings. The CPU's 125 W TDP and support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration provide flexibility for system builders, but the measured FPS data shows that the CPU is rarely the bottleneck, except at 1080p Low where it caps performance at 436 FPS.
