How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 304 out of 1,769 tested combinations places it firmly in the upper tier of all systems tested for Pc Building Simulator. Given that simulation games typically favor CPU performance over GPU muscle, this ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component becomes a systemic bottleneck. The i7-13700K sits in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 5070 ranks in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs—both are high performers individually, and their combined ranking confirms they work well together in this specific title.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 47,282 places it within a tight cluster of rivals: it trails the Intel Core i7-13700KF by just 0.1%, sits 0.3% ahead of the AMD EPYC 4364P, and leads the Intel Core i9-12900F by 0.4%. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 is 0.5% ahead. These margins are negligible in real-world gaming, meaning the i7-13700K is effectively on par with its closest competitors. The GPU’s average score of 41,687 is similarly competitive, sitting 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 5300, 0.6% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, and trailing the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 0.5% and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 0.7%. The data shows this combo is neither a top-tier outlier nor a laggard—it’s a consistently strong performer that should handle Pc Building Simulator without breaking a sweat.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how this combo scales across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the system hits 395.8 FPS, which drops to 251 FPS at 1440p and 131.4 FPS at 4K. This scaling pattern—roughly a 36.6% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and another 47.6% drop from 1440p to 4K—indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly limiting as resolution rises. At 1080p, the CPU is likely the primary constraint, as the frame rates far exceed what most displays can show, but the GPU still has headroom. At 4K, the RTX 5070’s workload increases significantly, and the frame rates drop to more typical gaming levels.

Looking at Ultra settings, the pattern holds: 186.8 FPS at 1080p, 120.7 FPS at 1440p, and 62.8 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 35.4%, and from 1440p to 4K is 48.0%. This consistency across settings suggests that resolution scaling is predictable, with the GPU being the dominant factor at higher resolutions. The fact that 4K Ultra still maintains above 60 FPS is notable for a simulation game, indicating that this combo can handle maxed-out visuals at 4K, though not with a massive margin.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 brings 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This is ample for Pc Building Simulator, which is not a VRAM-heavy title. The GPU’s boost clock of 2512 MHz and base clock of 2325 MHz, combined with 6,144 shading units, provide the computational horsepower needed for the frame rates observed. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz, effective 28 Gbps, which supports the high bandwidth figure. With 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores, the card is future-proof for more demanding titles, but in this game, those features likely go unused.

The GPU’s benchmark scores indicate strong general performance: a PassMark G3D score of 29,137 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,077. Its percentile rank of 83 among all GPUs confirms it is a high-tier card. The data shows the RTX 5070 is more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator, as even at 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 62.8 is playable. The GPU’s role becomes more critical at higher resolutions, but it never becomes a hard bottleneck—the frame rates remain smooth throughout.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce 395.8 FPS, Medium yields 280.9 FPS, High achieves 197.3 FPS, and Ultra manages 186.8 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is only 10.5 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns from the highest preset. At 1440p, the numbers are still high: Low hits 251 FPS, Medium 178 FPS, High 127 FPS, and Ultra 120.7 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra narrows further to 6.3 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset’s additional demands are minimal at this resolution.

At 4K, the performance remains respectable but clearly more constrained. Low settings yield 131.4 FPS, Medium 94.2 FPS, High 67.3 FPS, and Ultra 62.8 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra is just 4.5 FPS, the smallest margin across all resolutions. This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is nearing its limits, and the visual gains from Ultra over High may not justify the slight FPS cost. The data collectively shows that this combo is best suited for high-refresh-rate 1080p or 1440p gaming, with 4K being viable but less fluid.

CPU Role

The i7-13700K features 16 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. This is a high-core-count processor that excels in multi-threaded workloads, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 39,000 and PassMark multithread score of 45,887. In Pc Building Simulator, which likely benefits from multiple threads for simulation logic, the CPU provides a strong foundation. Its single-core performance is also solid, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5,505 and a 3DMark single-thread score of 1,136.

The CPU’s 30 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache help reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for simulation games that rely on rapid data access. The processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, offering flexibility, though the dual-channel memory bus is standard. The CPU’s 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms it is a top-tier performer. In this game, the CPU is likely the primary driver of the high frame rates at 1080p, where the GPU has headroom. The data indicates that the i7-13700K is not a bottleneck at any resolution tested, even at 4K where the GPU takes on more work.

Settings Recommendations

The data shows that the High preset offers the best experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, High delivers 197.3 FPS, which is only 10.5 FPS less than Ultra but with likely reduced visual complexity. At 1440p, High produces 127 FPS, a robust figure for high-refresh-rate monitors, and only 6.3 FPS less than Ultra. At 4K, High achieves 67.3 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while Ultra drops to 62.8 FPS—a marginal gain in visuals for a noticeable FPS cost.

For users with 1080p or 1440p displays, Medium is also a strong choice, offering 280.9 FPS and 178 FPS respectively, which would benefit high-refresh-rate panels (240 Hz or higher). Low settings are unnecessary for this combo, as even at 4K, it delivers 131.4 FPS, suggesting that Low is only useful for extreme frame rate targets. The Ultra preset is not recommended at 4K, as the 4.5 FPS gain over High is minimal, and the visual difference in a simulation game is unlikely to justify the lower frame rate. The optimal configuration is High settings at 1440p, which balances visual fidelity with performance, or High at 4K for those prioritizing resolution over frame rate.
