Its average benchmark score of 52086 is virtually identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, with a deltaPct of 0, suggesting that in raw compute terms, these two cards are interchangeable. The AMD Radeon RX 7700S shows a slight edge at -0.8%, while the NVIDIA RTX A1000 lags by 2.5% and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M leads by 2.5%. This data indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti is a high-tier performer, but its position in the combo ranking is also influenced by the CPU's ability to feed it. The combination of a top-4% CPU and a top-13% GPU results in a system that is more than capable of handling the demands of Pc Building Simulator, even if it doesn't claim the absolute top spot, which is likely reserved for configurations with the most extreme flagship hardware.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the primary driver of visual output in this combo, and its memory configuration is particularly relevant for a simulation game that can involve complex 3D scenes and UI elements. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a substantial 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This capacity is more than sufficient for the textures and asset data typically used in Pc Building Simulator, ensuring that the graphics card does not become a bottleneck due to memory capacity at any of the tested settings. The high memory bandwidth is a key factor in sustaining high frame rates when the resolution increases, as the demand for texture data and frame buffer operations scales with pixel count.

Clock speeds for the RTX 5070 Ti are listed with a base of 2295 MHz and a boost of 2452 MHz. The relatively modest gap between these two figures suggests that the card maintains a consistent performance level under sustained load, which is important for maintaining stable frame times. The memory clock is rated at 1750 MHz, translating to 28 Gbps effective, which is a high-speed configuration that complements the 256-bit bus to deliver the aforementioned bandwidth. In the context of this game's measured results, the GPU's role appears to be well-balanced; it is not a weak link that limits performance even at 4K, as the frame rates remain playable, but it also doesn't dominate the performance profile to the extent that the CPU becomes irrelevant. The data suggests a symbiosis where the GPU's capabilities are fully utilized without being the sole determinant of the final FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Analyzing the measured FPS across different settings presets reveals a clear pattern for optimal performance. The Ultra preset, which typically offers the highest visual fidelity, yields the lowest average frame rates at every resolution. At 4K, the Ultra preset produces an average of 71.9 FPS, which is just slightly below the High preset's 72 FPS. Given that the High preset offers nearly identical performance with a likely reduction in some demanding effects, it presents a more sensible choice for 4K gaming if a higher frame rate is desired, though the difference is marginal. The Medium preset provides a significant jump to 102.7 FPS at 4K, which is a 42.6% improvement over Ultra, making it the best choice for a smoother experience on high-resolution displays.

The data indicates that the Medium preset offers the best balance between visual quality and performance. At 1440p, Medium delivers 198.6 FPS, which is over 48% faster than the Ultra preset's 133.5 FPS, while still maintaining a visual quality that is likely superior to Low. At 1080p, Medium achieves 318.1 FPS, a substantial increase from the 212.1 FPS of Ultra. For a simulation game where smoothness is paramount for a pleasant experience, the Medium preset is recommended across all resolutions. The Low preset offers the highest frame rates, reaching 447.1 FPS at 1080p, but this likely comes with a significant visual compromise that is unnecessary given the high performance headroom. Therefore, the measured data points to Medium as the sweet spot for this combo, providing a high refresh-rate experience without sacrificing the visual detail that makes a PC-building sim immersive.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates for this combo show a clear hierarchy based on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates extreme performance, with the Low preset hitting an average of 447.1 FPS. This drops to 318.1 FPS on Medium and 223.4 FPS on High, before settling at 212.1 FPS on Ultra. The difference between High and Ultra at 1080p is a modest 5.3%, indicating that the Ultra preset's additional effects are not particularly demanding at this resolution. The performance is so high that it is likely beyond the refresh rate of most monitors, suggesting the system is heavily CPU-bound at this resolution, as the GPU has ample headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high. The Low preset averages 281.7 FPS, which is a 37% reduction from 1080p. The Medium preset follows at 198.6 FPS, a 37.6% drop, while High averages 142.8 FPS, a 36.1% drop, and Ultra averages 133.5 FPS, a 37.1% drop. This consistent reduction across all settings indicates a uniform scaling with pixel count, suggesting that the GPU is now becoming a more significant factor but is still not overwhelmed. At 4K (3840x2160), the impact is more pronounced. The Low preset drops to 145.6 FPS, a 48.3% reduction from 1080p. Medium falls to 102.7 FPS, a 67.7% reduction, while High and Ultra settle at 72 FPS and 71.9 FPS, respectively, representing a 67.8% and 66.1% reduction from their 1080p counterparts. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is essentially negligible, confirming that they are bound by the same bottleneck.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling of frame rates from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights into the limiting component of this combo. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS across all settings drops by approximately 37%. This is very close to the expected scaling factor based on pixel count, which is a 44% increase in pixels. The fact that the FPS drop is smaller than the pixel increase suggests that the system is not purely GPU-limited at 1440p; the CPU is still able to push enough data to keep the GPU relatively busy, even with the increased load.

The transition from 1440p to 4K is more telling. The FPS drop is much steeper, with an average reduction of around 48% from the 1440p figures. This is closer to the theoretical pixel increase of 125%, but the actual FPS reduction is less, indicating that the GPU is now the primary limiting factor. The data shows that the High preset at 4K (72 FPS) is nearly identical to the Ultra preset (71.9 FPS), while at 1440p there was a 6.5% difference. This convergence at 4K strongly suggests that the GPU's rendering capabilities are saturated at this resolution, regardless of the specific settings preset. The RTX 5070 Ti’s 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth and 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute are being fully utilized, and the CPU, with its 20 cores and 28 threads, is no longer the bottleneck. The result is that the combo is CPU-bound at 1080p and 1440p, where the high frame rates are proof of the i7-14700K's single-thread performance, but becomes GPU-bound at 4K, where the RTX 5070 Ti's raw power dictates the final output.
