Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Pc Building Simulator with the Intel Core i7-14700K and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX reveals a clear pattern of scaling across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 424.2 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Low, that figure drops to 268.1 FPS, a reduction of approximately 37%. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls further to 141.6 FPS, which is about 47% lower than the 1440p result.

The scaling behavior changes when settings are raised. At High settings, the transition from 1080p (214 FPS) to 1440p (135.5 FPS) represents a 36.7% drop, while the move from 1440p to 4K (68.9 FPS) is a 49.2% reduction. This steeper decline at higher resolutions suggests the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count increases. The gap between Low and High at 4K is substantial: 141.6 FPS versus 68.9 FPS, a difference of roughly 105%. At 1080p, the same settings gap is 424.2 FPS versus 214 FPS, which is a 98% difference.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU's capabilities are more relevant, as the frame rates are high enough that the GPU may not be fully saturated. The i7-14700K, with its 20 cores and 28 threads, is capable of feeding the GPU at these rates. By contrast, at 4K, the frame rates across all settings are much lower, pointing to the RX 7900 XTX being the primary constraint. The difference between Medium (98.7 FPS) and Ultra (66.4 FPS) at 4K is 32.3 FPS, which is a moderate step, but the gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 42.9 FPS, indicating that the first settings tier has a disproportionate impact on performance.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with a Navi 31 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It features 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. The GPU's base clock is 1929 MHz, with a boost clock of 2498 MHz and a game clock of 2365 MHz. These specifications are directly relevant to the measured results in Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that may not heavily stress the GPU in the same way as a first-person shooter.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 85th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44019. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (avgScore 44195, deltaPct -0.4), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (avgScore 43667, deltaPct 0.8), and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (avgScore 43313, deltaPct 1.6). The deltaPct values are small, indicating that the RX 7900 XTX performs within a tight band of these alternatives. In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's 24 GB frame buffer is more than sufficient for the game's asset sizes, and the high memory bandwidth likely helps maintain consistent frame delivery at higher settings.

The data shows that the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at 4K. At Ultra settings, the average FPS is 66.4, which is close to the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay but not far above it. At High settings, the 4K average is 68.9 FPS, only slightly better. This suggests that the game's Ultra preset may include effects that are particularly demanding on the GPU's shading units and ROPs. The RX 7900 XTX has 6144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, and 192 render output units, with a pixel rate of 479.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 959.2 GTexel/s. These figures correlate with the observed performance drop at higher settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a full matrix of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, Low settings yield an average of 424.2 FPS, Medium yields 302.8 FPS, High yields 214 FPS, and Ultra yields 201.9 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is a reduction of 121.4 FPS (about 28.6%), while the step from High to Ultra is only 12.1 FPS (about 5.7%). This indicates diminishing returns as settings increase at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 268.1 FPS (Low), 191.9 FPS (Medium), 135.5 FPS (High), and 129 FPS (Ultra). The difference between Low and Medium is 76.2 FPS, between Medium and High is 56.4 FPS, and between High and Ultra is 6.5 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is only marginally slower than High, suggesting that the Ultra preset might add effects that have a minimal impact on the GPU at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 141.6 FPS (Low), 98.7 FPS (Medium), 68.9 FPS (High), and 66.4 FPS (Ultra). The drop from Low to Medium is 42.9 FPS, from Medium to High is 29.8 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 2.5 FPS. The small gap between High and Ultra at 4K is notable, as it indicates that the game's Ultra preset is not significantly more demanding than High at this resolution. However, all 4K results are below the 1440p Low result of 268.1 FPS, confirming that resolution scaling has a dominant effect.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Pc Building Simulator, the Intel Core i7-14700K paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX holds a combo rank of 190 out of 1769 combos. This places the combo in the top 10.7% of all tested configurations for this game. The rank of 190 is based on the measured FPS data across all settings and resolutions, weighted to reflect overall performance.

The CPU's own benchmarks contribute to this ranking. The i7-14700K scores 44534 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 6287 in single-core, and it sits in the 96th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i7-14700KF (avgScore 70104, deltaPct 0) and the AMD EPYC 9115 (avgScore 69887, deltaPct 0.3), have nearly identical average scores, meaning the CPU choice has a negligible impact on the combo's rank. The GPU's percentile of 85 and its rival deltaPct values (e.g., -0.4 vs Radeon Pro 580) show that the RX 7900 XTX is also near the top of its class.

The combination of a high-percentile CPU and a high-percentile GPU results in a rank of 190, which is strong but not at the very top. The 1769 combos include many with higher-end GPUs or CPUs, but the measured data indicates that this combo delivers excellent performance in Pc Building Simulator, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU can stretch its legs.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, even Ultra settings produce an average of 201.9 FPS, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate of most gaming monitors. For players with a 240 Hz display, Medium settings (302.8 FPS) or Low settings (424.2 FPS) would be necessary to fully utilize the display's capability. The data shows that High settings at 1080p (214 FPS) are a reasonable middle ground, providing a good balance between visual quality and frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset yields 129 FPS, which is sufficient for 120 Hz displays. High settings (135.5 FPS) are nearly identical, so there is little reason to choose High over Ultra unless the small difference matters. Medium settings (191.9 FPS) allow for higher refresh rates, and Low settings (268.1 FPS) are available for competitive play. The data suggests that Ultra at 1440p is the best choice for most users, as it delivers frame rates above 120 FPS without sacrificing visual fidelity.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more constrained. Ultra settings produce 66.4 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold but leaves no headroom for demanding scenes. High settings (68.9 FPS) are almost identical, so the Ultra preset is recommended for better visuals at nearly the same performance. Medium settings (98.7 FPS) offer a significant improvement, and Low settings (141.6 FPS) are the only preset that comfortably exceeds 120 FPS at 4K. For 4K gaming, Medium settings provide the best trade-off between visual quality and smoothness, as they are 43% faster than High while still maintaining a playable experience. The data does not include any settings between Medium and High, so users seeking higher frame rates may need to adjust individual options rather than rely on presets.
