That places this pairing in the top 10% of all combos, a strong result for a game that rarely pushes high-end hardware to its limits. The i7-14700KF sits in the 94th percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 4070 Ti lands in the 84th percentile among all GPUs, so this is a high-tier setup by any measure. The measured FPS numbers reveal a system that delivers playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra, which is notable for a simulation game where physics and UI responsiveness often matter more than sheer frame counts.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 379 out of 3,723 tested combos places this CPU-GPU pairing in the 89.8th percentile of all systems tested for Pc Building Simulator. That means roughly nine out of ten tested configurations perform worse than this one, which is a strong showing for a game that is not particularly demanding on graphics hardware. The ranking reflects the balance between the i7-14700KF’s 20 cores and 28 threads and the RTX 4070 Ti’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, a combination that handles both the CPU-side simulation logic and the GPU-side rendering without obvious bottlenecks.

Looking at the CPU’s nearest rivals, the i7-14700KF posts an average benchmark score of 70,163 across all tested workloads. That score is 0.2% higher than the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F (69,996), 0.4% higher than the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (69,875), and 0.9% higher than the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (69,515). The only competitor that beats it in this group is the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, which scores 70,879, putting the i7-14700KF 1% behind that chip. These deltas are tiny, meaning the i7-14700KF is effectively tied with its closest rivals in overall CPU performance, and the ranking in Pc Building Simulator is more likely determined by how the game uses those cores.

For the GPU, the RTX 4070 Ti posts an average benchmark score of 44,795. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, scores 45,152, which is 0.8% higher, so the desktop RTX 4070 Ti is slightly behind a mobile flagship.

These margins are all within a couple of percentage points, so the GPU is also in a tight performance cluster.

What matters for Pc Building Simulator is that this combo sits comfortably in the upper tier. The game’s simulation nature means it may not use the GPU as heavily as a AAA shooter, but the data shows that the i7-14700KF’s multi-core strength, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44,167, provides ample headroom for any CPU-bound tasks the game throws at it.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, packing 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die. Its base clock runs at 2310 MHz, boosting up to 2610 MHz, which is a modest boost over the base for a card of this class. The memory subsystem consists of 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory configuration is sufficient for Pc Building Simulator, which is not a VRAM-heavy title at the resolutions tested.

The GPU’s compute capabilities include 7,680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. It also has 60 ray tracing cores and 240 tensor cores, which are features that Pc Building Simulator likely does not leverage heavily, given its simulation focus. The FP32 performance is rated at 40.09 TFLOPS, and the pixel rate is 208.8 GPixel/s with a texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s. These specs suggest that the RTX 4070 Ti is more than capable of handling the visual demands of this game, even at 4K.

The GPU’s benchmark scores provide context. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 5,024, which is a moderate result for a high-end card. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 176,953, and the Vulkan score is 213,808, indicating that the card performs well across different API types. Passmark G3D score is 31,624, while the GPU compute score is 18,396. These numbers are consistent with a GPU that sits in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, meaning it is better than 84% of the hardware tested on this site.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU’s role is primarily to render the menus, 3D models of components, and the PC case environment. The measured FPS data shows that even at 4K Ultra, the RTX 4070 Ti maintains an average of 68 FPS, which is playable for a simulation game. At 1080p Low, the card pushes 431 FPS, which is far beyond what any monitor can display, indicating that the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of scaling as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 215 at 1080p to 136 at 1440p, then to 71 at 4K. That is a 36.7% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 47.8% reduction from 1440p to 4K, which suggests that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor as pixel count rises.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more pronounced. The average FPS at 1080p is 431, which drops to 272 at 1440p (a 36.9% reduction) and then to 142 at 4K (a 47.8% reduction). These percentages are nearly identical to the High settings, indicating that the relative performance hit from resolution scaling is consistent regardless of quality preset. This is typical for a GPU-bound scenario, where the same percentage of pixels are added at each step.

Medium settings show the most detailed data with min and max FPS recorded. At 1080p Medium, the average is 305 FPS, with a min of 259 and a max of 351. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 193 FPS, with a min of 164 and a max of 222. At 4K Medium, the average is 101 FPS, with a min of 86 and a max of 116. The spread between min and max FPS is tighter at higher resolutions, suggesting that frame time consistency improves when the GPU is more heavily loaded.

Ultra settings follow the same trend, with 205 FPS at 1080p, 130 FPS at 1440p, and 68 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 36.6%, and from 1440p to 4K is 47.7%, again matching the other settings. This uniformity across settings indicates that the limiting component is the GPU, as the CPU has enough headroom to maintain consistent frame delivery regardless of resolution.

The data shows that at 1080p, the frame rates are so high (over 200 FPS at High and over 400 FPS at Low) that the CPU likely becomes the primary limiter, since the GPU is not fully utilized. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, as frame rates drop to levels consistent with what the RTX 4070 Ti can render. The i7-14700KF’s high single-core performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6,235, helps maintain high minimum frame rates at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the Medium preset at 1440p offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for this combo. The average FPS at 1440p Medium is 193, with a minimum of 164 and a maximum of 222, which provides a smooth experience well above the 60 FPS threshold. The game is a simulation, so consistent frame pacing matters more than extreme frame rates, and the tight min-max spread at this setting suggests good frame time consistency.

At 1080p, the Medium preset delivers 305 FPS average with a min of 259, which is overkill for most displays but ensures zero perceptible stutter. However, the visual difference between Medium and High at 1080p is minimal in a game like this, and the 215 FPS at High is still far above any refresh rate. For users with 144Hz monitors, 1080p High at 215 FPS would be a solid choice, but the data shows that 1440p High at 136 FPS is also perfectly playable.

For 4K, the Ultra preset at 68 FPS average is technically playable, but the Medium preset at 101 FPS is a better experience. The min FPS at 4K Medium is 86, which avoids major dips, while the Ultra settings have no recorded min FPS, so there is uncertainty about frame stability. Given that the game is not visually demanding, Medium at 4K provides a significant performance boost (101 vs 68 FPS) without a dramatic loss in visual fidelity.

The Low preset at any resolution delivers extremely high frame rates, but it is not recommended for a game that relies on reading component labels and UI elements, as lower settings may reduce text clarity. The data shows that Low at 4K still hits 142 FPS, which is impressive, but the visual compromise is likely not worth it. The best overall recommendation is 1440p Medium, which offers a frame rate that is 42% higher than 1440p High (193 vs 136) while maintaining a solid visual experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured FPS varies significantly by settings. Low settings produce an average of 431 FPS, which is the highest recorded across all resolutions and settings. Medium settings average 305 FPS, with a minimum of 259 and a maximum of 351, showing a tight range. High settings average 215 FPS, and Ultra settings average 205 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is only 10 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset adds little visual benefit for a small performance cost.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop noticeably. Low settings average 272 FPS, which is still very high. Medium settings average 193 FPS, with a min of 164 and a max of 222, providing a stable experience. High settings average 136 FPS, and Ultra settings average 130 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra narrows to 6 FPS at 1440p, indicating that the Ultra preset’s additional effects are not well-optimized or have diminishing returns.

At 3840x2160, the performance scales down further. Low settings average 142 FPS, which is remarkable for 4K. Medium settings average 101 FPS, with a min of 86 and a max of 116, offering a playable range. High settings average 71 FPS, and Ultra settings average 68 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 3 FPS, making the Ultra preset essentially identical to High in terms of performance.

Comparing across resolutions, the Low preset at 4K (142 FPS) is faster than the Ultra preset at 1440p (130 FPS), which shows how much headroom the RTX 4070 Ti has at lower quality settings. The Medium preset at 1440p (193 FPS) is faster than the Low preset at 4K (142 FPS), indicating that resolution has a larger impact on performance than quality settings in this game. The data consistently shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences, with the CPU providing a stable foundation.

The min and max FPS data for Medium settings across all resolutions shows that the spread increases with resolution. At 1080p, the range is 259-351 FPS (a 92 FPS spread). At 1440p, the range is 164-222 FPS (a 58 FPS spread). At 4K, the range is 86-116 FPS (a 30 FPS spread). This narrowing spread at higher resolutions indicates that frame times become more consistent when the GPU is fully utilized, which is a positive sign for gameplay smoothness.
