Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title where the focus is on assembling and managing hardware, not on pushing graphical boundaries. Even so, the measured data for the Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX shows a system that can handle the game's demands at virtually every setting. The benchmark results indicate that this combination is heavily overqualified for the task, delivering playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra, while at lower resolutions it produces frame counts that exceed the refresh rates of most high-end displays.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, featuring a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. For a game like Pc Building Simulator, which is not known for heavy computational demands, this level of processing power is substantial. The benchmark data supports this, with the CPU achieving a multithreaded score of 35,443 in Cinebench R23 and a single-core score of 5,003 in the same test.

This processor sits in the 94th percentile when compared to all CPUs, indicating it outperforms the vast majority of available processors. Its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score are the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, which are slightly ahead by 0.6% and 1.1% respectively. However, the i7-14700F holds a 1.2% lead over the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 and a 1.7% lead over the AMD EPYC 7313P. In Pc Building Simulator, this level of CPU performance ensures that the processor will not be a bottleneck, allowing the GPU to work without waiting on the CPU to calculate game logic or physics. The high boost clock is particularly relevant, as the game's simulation elements likely benefit from strong single-threaded performance, which the 5.03 GHz boost clock helps provide.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is a high-end graphics card built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, featuring 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. Its boost clock is listed at 2498 MHz, and it has a game clock of 2365 MHz. This GPU's performance is reflected in its benchmark scores, such as a Passmark G3D score of 31,238 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 189,573. It ranks in the 85th percentile among all GPUs.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the RX 7900 XTX is 0.4% behind the AMD Radeon Pro 580, but it is 0.8% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile and 1.6% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro M6000. The data shows that the GPU is 2% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. For Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is primarily to render the 3D shop environment and the hardware models. With 24 GB of VRAM, there is ample memory for high-resolution textures, though the game's graphics are not particularly demanding. The high memory bandwidth ensures that even at 4K resolution with Ultra settings, the card can feed the renderer quickly enough to maintain a smooth 69.7 FPS average.

How This Combo Ranks

In the specific context of Pc Building Simulator, the combination of the Intel Core i7-14700F and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX ranks 201st out of 1769 tested combos. This places it in the top 11.4% of all tested configurations, which is a strong result for a high-end pairing. Given the game's modest graphical requirements, the ranking is likely influenced more by the sheer power of both components rather than their ability to handle complex scenes.

The rank of 201 suggests that while there are 200 other combinations that perform better, this is still a very capable setup. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of performance in this game, as the frame rates scale significantly with resolution and settings changes. The CPU's high performance ensures it does not hold the system back, allowing the GPU to reach its full potential. This combination is not just adequate; it is excessive for the game's needs, providing frame rates that are far above what is necessary for a smooth experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo shows a clear pattern of performance scaling across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are exceptionally high, starting at 422.5 FPS on Low settings, dropping to 301.6 FPS on Medium, 210.3 FPS on High, and 202.4 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is almost always going to be limited by the refresh rate of the monitor rather than the hardware.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high but show a noticeable drop. The Low setting produces an average of 266.8 FPS, Medium produces 192.1 FPS, High produces 133.3 FPS, and Ultra produces 129.5 FPS. This resolution still provides a smooth experience on any setting, with even the most demanding Ultra preset exceeding 120 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more moderate but remains entirely playable. The Low setting yields an average of 137.7 FPS, Medium drops to 96.3 FPS, High is at 68.7 FPS, and Ultra is at 69.7 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is minimal, at just 1 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset has a similar rendering load to High in this game. The data shows that this combination can handle 4K gaming without any major compromises, although the High and Ultra presets will not fully utilize a 144Hz monitor at this resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the best experience for this combo depends on the user's display. For 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 monitors, the Ultra preset is the recommended choice, as it provides 202.4 FPS and 129.5 FPS respectively. These frame rates are high enough for smooth gameplay on most high-refresh-rate displays, and the visual quality increase from lower settings is worth the performance cost.

For 3840x2160 displays, the choice is between the Medium and High presets. The Medium preset delivers an average of 96.3 FPS, which is smoother for fast-paced action, while the High preset delivers 68.7 FPS and Ultra delivers 69.7 FPS. Given that the difference between High and Ultra is negligible, the High preset is the better choice for 4K, as it offers a slight frame rate advantage over Ultra with likely identical visual fidelity. If the user prioritizes frame rate over visual detail, the Medium preset at 96.3 FPS is the optimal choice, as it provides a significant boost over High while still looking good. The Low preset at 137.7 FPS is not recommended for 4K, as the visual downgrade is substantial for only a moderate frame rate increase.
