Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows expected scaling. Low settings average 232 FPS, Medium settings average 164 FPS with a minimum of 140 and a maximum of 189, High settings average 116 FPS, and Ultra settings average 110 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p ranges from 36.8% at Low settings (367 to 232 FPS) to 37.1% at Ultra settings (175 to 110 FPS), indicating consistent scaling across presets.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops more substantially. Low settings average 121 FPS, Medium settings average 86 FPS with a minimum of 73 and a maximum of 99, High settings average 61 FPS, and Ultra settings average 58 FPS. The 4K Ultra result falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it the only preset across all resolutions that fails to maintain a playable average. The 4K Medium preset, with its 86 FPS average and 73 FPS minimum, provides the most balanced experience at this resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about the system's bottleneck characteristics. At Low settings, the FPS drops from 367 at 1080p to 232 at 1440p (a 36.8% reduction) and then to 121 at 4K (a 47.8% reduction from 1440p). This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the workload scales almost linearly with pixel count.

At Medium settings, the scaling is slightly different: 260 FPS at 1080p, 164 FPS at 1440p (a 36.9% reduction), and 86 FPS at 4K (a 47.6% reduction from 1440p). The consistent percentage drops across resolutions suggest that the game's rendering pipeline is GPU-bound, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom even at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 200 FPS.

The High settings scaling shows a similar trend: 184 FPS at 1080p, 116 FPS at 1440p (a 37.0% reduction), and 61 FPS at 4K (a 47.4% reduction from 1440p). Ultra settings follow the same pattern: 175 FPS at 1080p, 110 FPS at 1440p (a 37.1% reduction), and 58 FPS at 4K (a 47.3% reduction from 1440p).

The remarkably consistent percentage reductions across all four presets indicate that the limiting component is the GPU, as the relative performance drop from resolution scaling is uniform regardless of graphical complexity. The CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads, with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, are clearly not a bottleneck in this game, as evidenced by the ability to maintain high frame rates at 1080p where CPU overhead would be most apparent.

The CPU's benchmark results demonstrate its capability: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35122 and single-core score of 4958, a Geekbench multi-core score of 19620 and single-core score of 2429, and a Passmark multithread score of 41317. The CPU's percentile ranking of 91 against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53620, places it above the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (53288, 0.6% difference) and the AMD EPYC 7313P (53206, 0.8% difference).

In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is to manage the game's simulation aspects, including PC component compatibility checks, performance calculations, and workshop interactions. The measured FPS data indicates that the CPU handles these tasks efficiently, as frame rates at 1080p exceed 175 FPS even at Ultra settings. The CPU's 65 W TDP, while modest, does not appear to constrain performance in this title.

The CPU's memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5, along with dual-channel memory bus, provides flexibility, though the game's performance is not memory-bandwidth sensitive based on the measured results. The CPU's PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes ensures the RTX 4070's PCIe 4.0 x16 interface is fully utilized, though the GPU's bandwidth requirements are likely not the limiting factor in this simulation game.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p gaming, all presets deliver excellent performance, with even Ultra settings achieving 175 FPS average. The Medium preset at 1080p offers a particularly balanced experience with 260 FPS average and a minimum of 221 FPS, providing substantial headroom for any simulation-heavy moments.

At 1440p, the Medium preset is the recommended choice for players seeking a smooth experience with a safety margin. The 164 FPS average, with a minimum of 140 FPS, ensures that frame times remain consistent even during intensive simulation sequences. High settings at 1440p, with 116 FPS average, also provide a solid experience, while Ultra settings at 110 FPS are acceptable for those prioritizing visual quality over raw frame rate.

For 4K resolution, the Medium preset is the clear recommendation. With 86 FPS average and a minimum of 73 FPS, this preset provides the best combination of visual fidelity and performance. High settings at 4K, with 61 FPS average, are borderline playable, but the minimum FPS is not recorded, which introduces uncertainty. Ultra settings at 4K, with 58 FPS average, fall below the 60 FPS threshold and are not recommended for consistent gameplay.

The Low preset, while offering high frame rates at all resolutions (367 FPS at 1080p, 232 FPS at 1440p, 121 FPS at 4K), sacrifices the visual quality that makes Pc Building Simulator's component models and workshop environments engaging. For most players, the Medium preset provides the best balance across all resolutions, with the data showing that this setting consistently delivers frame rates well above playable thresholds while maintaining reasonable graphical fidelity.
