Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Pc Building Simulator with the Intel Core i7-14700KF and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combination produces 222.2 FPS. Moving to 1440p drops that to 138.8 FPS, a reduction of roughly 38%. At 4K, the same Low preset yields 70.9 FPS, which is about 49% lower than the 1440p result and 68% below the 1080p figure. This steep decline indicates that the graphics card becomes the primary limiting factor as pixel count grows.

The pattern holds across all settings presets. At Ultra settings, the frame rate falls from 107.9 FPS at 1080p to 68 FPS at 1440p, a 37% drop, and then to 32.8 FPS at 4K, another 52% reduction. The 4K Ultra result of 32.8 FPS is below the 36.9 FPS achieved at 4K High, showing that the highest quality preset demands more from the GPU than it can deliver at this resolution. The scaling from High to Ultra at 4K is particularly telling: 36.9 FPS to 32.8 FPS, a 11% penalty, which is modest compared to the resolution-based drops.

What the resolution scaling data suggests is that the RX 5700 XT, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, has enough headroom at 1080p and 1440p to keep the simulation running smoothly, but 4K pushes it past its comfort zone. The 4K Low result of 70.9 FPS versus the 1080p Ultra result of 107.9 FPS illustrates that resolution has a larger impact on performance than the quality preset. This is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the pixel throughput requirement at 4K overwhelms the card's 9.754 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 64 ROPs.

The delta between 1440p and 4K at Medium settings—100.6 FPS to 53.9 FPS, a 46% decline—reinforces the conclusion that the Radeon RX 5700 XT is the bottleneck at higher resolutions. The Core i7-14700KF, with its 20 cores and 28 threads, is unlikely to be the constraint in a simulation title that does not heavily tax multi-threaded workloads. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44557 and a 96th percentile ranking among all CPUs suggest it can feed frames far faster than the GPU can render them at 4K.

A: The measured results show playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p across all settings, with the lowest 1440p result being 68 FPS at Ultra. At 4K, only Low settings surpass 60 FPS. No VRAM-related stutter or memory cap is evident in the data.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT is the decisive component in this benchmark configuration, and its specifications explain the measured frame rates. The card operates with a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1905 MHz, with a game clock of 1755 MHz. These clock speeds, combined with 2560 shading units, produce 9.754 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is adequate for the texture loads in a simulation game but becomes strained at 4K resolutions.

The GPU's benchmark scores are modest relative to its peers. Its Passmark G3D score is 16277, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2134. The percentileVsAllGpus figure of 68 places it in the upper two-thirds of all GPUs, but it trails several near rivals. The nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A5000 Mobile with an average score of 24763 and a deltaPct of -0.1, the Intel Arc A350M at 24647 with a deltaPct of 0.3, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile at 24592 with a deltaPct of 0.6. The RX 5700 XT's average benchmark score of 24731 is effectively tied with these mobile and workstation parts, indicating that its desktop-oriented design does not provide a decisive performance advantage in synthetic tests.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is evident in the resolution scaling. At 1080p, the card can push 222.2 FPS on Low and 107.9 FPS on Ultra, which suggests the 8 GB frame buffer and memory bandwidth are sufficient for the geometry and texture data at that resolution. At 1440p, the card still manages 138.8 FPS on Low and 68 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results are where the GPU's limitations become apparent: 70.9 FPS on Low and 32.8 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration that falls below 35 FPS, and it is 11% slower than 4K High. This indicates that the Ultra preset at 4K exceeds what the 1905 MHz boost clock and 64 ROPs can sustain.

The memory clock of 1750 MHz, translating to 14 Gbps effective, and the 256-bit bus width are the same specifications that produce 448.0 GB/s. In a simulation game that likely stores many object states and building component data, this bandwidth is sufficient at 1080p and 1440p. The data shows no anomalous performance collapse at any resolution, which would indicate a VRAM capacity issue. Instead, the smooth degradation from 1080p to 4K suggests the GPU's compute throughput, not its memory subsystem, is the binding constraint.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, all presets deliver playable frame rates. The Low preset achieves 222.2 FPS, which is excessive for most displays. Medium produces 155.4 FPS, High produces 114.1 FPS, and Ultra produces 107.9 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra costs only 6.2 FPS, making Ultra the best choice for 1080p users who want the highest quality without sacrificing smoothness. The 107.9 FPS at Ultra is well above the 60 FPS threshold and leaves headroom for demanding scenes.

At 2560x1440, the recommendation is more nuanced. Low settings yield 138.8 FPS, Medium yields 100.6 FPS, High yields 70.4 FPS, and Ultra yields 68 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is just 2.4 FPS, so Ultra is essentially free at this resolution. The 68 FPS at 1440p Ultra is still above 60 FPS, making it a viable option. However, users with high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors might prefer Medium at 100.6 FPS, which is 48% faster than Ultra while presumably still offering acceptable visual quality. The data shows Medium as the balanced choice at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the settings selection is critical. Low produces 70.9 FPS, which is the only 4K preset above 60 FPS. Medium produces 53.9 FPS, High produces 36.9 FPS, and Ultra produces 32.8 FPS. For 4K, Low is the only recommended preset for smooth gameplay. The drop from Low to Medium is 17 FPS, a 24% reduction, which is a significant penalty for what may be modest visual gains in a simulation title. Users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate might accept Medium at 53.9 FPS, but the data indicates that High and Ultra at 4K are not viable for responsive play.

Across all resolutions, the Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that falls below 35 FPS. This suggests that the game's Ultra preset is designed for GPUs with more compute headroom than the RX 5700 XT provides. The best overall experience, balancing quality and frame rate, is 1440p Ultra at 68 FPS or 1080p Ultra at 107.9 FPS. For 4K, Low at 70.9 FPS is the practical ceiling.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, for a total of twelve configurations. At 1920x1080, the results range from 222.2 FPS at Low to 107.9 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset produces 155.4 FPS, and High produces 114.1 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium is a 30% reduction, from Medium to High is a 27% reduction, and from High to Ultra is a 5.4% reduction. The small gap between High and Ultra at 1080p is notable because it indicates that the Ultra preset's additional effects do not heavily tax the GPU at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are 138.8 FPS at Low, 100.6 FPS at Medium, 70.4 FPS at High, and 68 FPS at Ultra. The drop from Low to Medium is 27.5%, from Medium to High is 30%, and from High to Ultra is just 3.4%. The 1440p results show a similar pattern to 1080p, with the High-to-Ultra transition being the least costly. The 68 FPS at Ultra is the lowest 1440p result but remains above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the results are 70.9 FPS at Low, 53.9 FPS at Medium, 36.9 FPS at High, and 32.8 FPS at Ultra. The percentage drops are 24% from Low to Medium, 31.5% from Medium to High, and 11.1% from High to Ultra. The 4K data shows a different pattern: the Medium-to-High drop is the largest, while the High-to-Ultra drop is smaller than at other resolutions. The 32.8 FPS at 4K Ultra is the worst measured result and is 54% lower than the 1080p Ultra result of 107.9 FPS.

The resolution scaling at each preset is consistent. At Low, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 83.4 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is 67.9 FPS. At Medium, the drops are 54.8 FPS and 46.7 FPS, respectively. At High, the drops are 43.7 FPS and 33.5 FPS. At Ultra, the drops are 39.9 FPS and 35.2 FPS. The diminishing absolute FPS losses at higher presets reflect the GPU approaching its performance ceiling at 4K.

The combo rank in game is 1336 out of 1769 combinations, placing this CPU-GPU pairing in the 75th percentile of tested configurations. This ranking, combined with the measured FPS data, positions the i7-14700KF and RX 5700 XT as a capable but not top-tier pairing for Pc Building Simulator. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44557 and single-core score of 6290 ensure it is not a bottleneck, while the GPU's 68th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms it as the performance limiter. The data shows a system that excels at 1080p and 1440p but requires conservative settings at 4K.
