# Pc Building Simulator — Intel Core i7-14700K + AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT

The benchmark data for Pc Building Simulator with the Intel Core i7-14700K and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT shows a simulation title that scales predictably with resolution and settings, with the GPU acting as the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions while the CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads provide ample headroom at lower settings. The combo ranks 747th out of 1769 tested configurations, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. Measured results span 12 distinct resolution/settings combinations, ranging from 50 FPS at 4K Ultra to 308.4 FPS at 1080p Low, revealing a wide performance envelope that depends heavily on how the user configures the game.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings, indicating that the RX 7700 XT becomes the limiting component as pixel count rises. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 151.9 FPS at 1920x1080 to 96.6 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 51.4 FPS at 3840x2160 — a reduction of approximately 66% from 1080p to 4K. This steep decline points to a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, where the 12 GB GDDR6 memory and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are stressed by the increased pixel workload.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more dramatic in absolute terms: 308.4 FPS at 1080p drops to 195.7 FPS at 1440p and then to 100.8 FPS at 4K. The fact that Low settings at 4K still deliver over 100 FPS suggests that the RX 7700 XT retains enough compute headroom — its 35.17 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 96 ROPs — even when resolution climbs. However, the gap between Low and Ultra at 4K (100.8 vs 50.0 FPS) nearly doubles the frame rate, confirming that settings adjustments matter more at higher resolutions.

The 1440p results occupy a middle ground where the combo remains playable across all settings: 92.5 FPS at Ultra and 195.7 FPS at Low. The 1080p numbers show the CPU's influence, with the i7-14700K's 5.60 GHz boost clock and 33 MB shared L3 cache allowing the RX 7700 XT to reach 308.4 FPS at Low — a figure that approaches the refresh rate ceilings of most monitors. The data suggests that at 1080p Low, the system becomes CPU-limited, but at 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly the constraint.

A: Pc Building Simulator's results show high frame rates even at 1080p Ultra (148.9 FPS), which benefits from the i7-14700K's 28 threads and 33 MB L3 cache. However, the game appears more GPU-dependent, as evidenced by the steep FPS drops when resolution increases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the full range of settings produces the following averages: Low delivers 308.4 FPS, Medium reaches 218.1 FPS, High hits 151.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 148.9 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 90.3 FPS, while the step from Medium to High costs 66.2 FPS, and High to Ultra only loses 3.0 FPS — indicating diminishing returns at the top end.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 195.7 FPS at Low, 137.7 FPS at Medium, 96.6 FPS at High, and 92.5 FPS at Ultra. The relative ordering remains consistent, but the absolute differences shrink: Low to Medium is 58.0 FPS, Medium to High is 41.1 FPS, and High to Ultra is just 4.1 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result is still above 90 FPS, making this resolution viable for high-refresh-rate displays.

At 3840x2160, the averages fall to 100.8 FPS at Low, 73.3 FPS at Medium, 51.4 FPS at High, and 50.0 FPS at Ultra. The Low-to-Medium drop is 27.5 FPS, Medium-to-High is 21.9 FPS, and High-to-Ultra is only 1.4 FPS. Notably, High and Ultra at 4K are nearly identical, suggesting that the Ultra preset adds little visual benefit for the performance cost. None of the High or Ultra 4K results reach 60 FPS, while Low and Medium both exceed 70 FPS.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700K brings 20 cores and 28 threads from its Raptor Lake-R architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. Its 33 MB shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache support high-frequency operation, which synthetic benchmarks reflect: the Cinebench R23 multicore score is 44534, and single-core is 6287, while Geekbench multicore reaches 18896 and single-core 2932. The Passmark multithread score of 52392 and single-thread score of 4472 further quantify its processing power.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role becomes apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the 308.4 FPS result exceeds what the GPU would typically sustain in more demanding titles, indicating that the i7-14700K's high boost clock and thread count prevent CPU bottlenecks. The 96th percentile ranking across all CPUs means this processor outperforms nearly all alternatives, but the game's frame rates at 4K (50-100.8 FPS) show that the GPU's 73rd percentile standing is the limiting factor in this pairing.

The nearest CPU rivals show minimal performance deltas in aggregate benchmarks — the i7-14700KF is identical at 0%, and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is only 0.5% faster — so any frame rate differences between these processors in Pc Building Simulator would be negligible. The data supports the interpretation that this simulation title's performance is far more sensitive to GPU selection than CPU choice, given the wide FPS swings across resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For users targeting 60 FPS as a baseline, the 4K results require Low (100.8 FPS) or Medium (73.3 FPS) settings; High and Ultra both fall below 52 FPS. At 2560x1440, all settings exceed 92 FPS, making Ultra (92.5 FPS) a reasonable choice for maximum visual quality while maintaining smooth gameplay. At 1920x1080, every preset delivers over 148 FPS, so Ultra (148.9 FPS) is the recommended configuration to fully utilize the RX 7700 XT's capabilities without sacrificing frame rate.

The most efficient settings-to-performance trade-off appears at 1440p Medium (137.7 FPS) or 1440p High (96.6 FPS) — both offer high frame rates while likely preserving visual fidelity. At 4K, Medium at 73.3 FPS provides the best balance, as the jump to High only adds 1.4 FPS over Ultra while Medium gains 21.9 FPS over High. For competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors, 1080p Low at 308.4 FPS maximizes frame delivery, but 1080p Medium at 218.1 FPS still far exceeds typical 144 Hz displays.

The data indicates that Ultra settings offer marginal improvements over High at every resolution — the largest delta is 4.1 FPS at 1440p, and at 4K the difference is just 1.4 FPS. Therefore, users should select High over Ultra to save GPU resources with negligible visual impact, or choose Medium at 4K to more than double the frame rate compared to Ultra (73.3 vs 50.0 FPS).
