Pc Building Simulator

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a robust combination for Pc Building Simulator, delivering exceptionally high frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings. The data indicates that this setup is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while it has ample headroom to push extremely high refresh rates at 1080p. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, relative ranking, and the specific roles of the GPU and CPU in this simulation title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a classic performance curve as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves an average of 431 FPS on Low settings, demonstrating that the system is rarely constrained by the CPU at this resolution. Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS on Low settings drops to 272, a reduction of 159 FPS, or roughly 37%. This significant drop indicates that the GPU is beginning to take on a heavier load, but the frame rates remain far above what any standard monitor can display.

The scaling becomes more pronounced at 3840x2160 (4K). Here, the average FPS on Low settings falls to 142, which is about 52% of the 1440p Low score. This steep decline highlights that at 4K, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is working much harder to fill the extra pixels. The trend is consistent across all quality presets. For instance, on High settings, the average FPS drops from 215 at 1080p to 136 at 1440p, and finally to 71 at 4K. The gap between 1440p and 4K is substantial, suggesting that the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth are the primary limiting factors at the highest resolution.

The behavior at Medium settings is particularly telling. At 1080p, the average is 305 FPS with a minimum of 259 FPS. At 1440p, the average drops to 193 FPS with a minimum of 164 FPS. At 4K, the average is 101 FPS with a minimum of 86 FPS. The minimum frame rate at 4K Medium (86 FPS) is still very playable, but the overall trend indicates that users targeting 4K will need to make a trade-off between resolution and visual fidelity. The data suggests that for a consistent 100+ FPS experience, 1440p is the sweet spot for this combination, while 4K is viable for 60+ FPS gameplay on High or Ultra settings, as evidenced by the 71 and 68 average FPS scores respectively.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database for Pc Building Simulator, this specific combination of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti holds a comboRankInGame of 275 out of 3002 tested combos. This places the setup in the top 9.2% of all configurations tested for this game. This high ranking indicates that the pair is exceptionally well-suited for Pc Building Simulator, outperforming the vast majority of other CPU-GPU pairings in the database.

The ranking is a holistic measure, reflecting the balance between the two components. While the GPU is a strong performer, its percentileVsAllGpus is 84, meaning it is in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus is even higher at 90, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs. This synergy is key; the high-performing CPU ensures that the GPU is not bottlenecked, allowing the RTX 4070 Ti to operate near its full potential. The fact that this combo ranks significantly higher than the individual percentiles might suggest would be the case suggests that the game's engine is particularly responsive to the strengths of this pairing.

The ranking is a strong endorsement for builders who prioritize high frame rates in simulation titles. It shows that this is not merely a capable combination, but one that has been proven by measured data to be in the upper echelon of performance for this specific game. The data confirms that the Ultra 5 245's strong multi-core and single-core performance, combined with the RTX 4070 Ti's raw power, creates a platform that excels in this workload.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the primary driver of frame rates, especially as resolution and settings increase. The GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU's boost clock is listed at 2610 MHz. This hardware configuration is the reason for the significant performance drop from 1440p to 4K, as the frame buffer and bandwidth are taxed more heavily.

The GPU's avgBenchmarkScore is 44795, with a percentileVsAllGpus of 84. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, has an avgScore of 45152, a deltaPct of -0.8, meaning the RTX 4070 Ti is 0.8% slower than that mobile part. Compared to the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (avgScore 45384), the RTX 4070 Ti is 1.3% slower. These comparisons show that the RTX 4070 Ti sits in a competitive tier of GPU performance, and it is this power that allows it to push the high frame rates seen in the 1080p and 1440p measurements.

In Pc Building Simulator, the impact of the GPU is clear when comparing the High and Ultra settings at 4K. The average FPS drops from 71 on High to 68 on Ultra, a relatively small 3 FPS penalty. This suggests that the Ultra preset is not significantly more demanding than High, likely due to a bottleneck in the CPU simulation logic or a GPU feature saturation point. However, the jump from Medium (101 FPS) to High (71 FPS) is a massive 30 FPS drop, indicating that the High preset introduces a significant increase in rendering complexity that the GPU must handle. This data shows that the RTX 4070 Ti is powerful enough to handle the game's visual effects, but the scaling is not linear, and the most significant performance costs are incurred when moving from Medium to High settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance across all settings and resolutions. All figures are average FPS unless otherwise noted.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance. On Low settings, it achieves an average of 431 FPS. Medium settings produce an average of 305 FPS, with a minimum of 259 FPS and a maximum of 351 FPS. High settings see an average of 215 FPS, while Ultra settings yield an average of 205 FPS. This demonstrates that even at the highest quality preset, the system is well above the threshold for high-refresh-rate gaming.

At 2560x1440, performance remains very high. Low settings average 272 FPS. Medium settings see an average of 193 FPS, with a minimum of 164 FPS and a maximum of 222 FPS. High settings reduce the average to 136 FPS, and Ultra settings lower it further to 130 FPS. This resolution offers the best balance for high refresh rate monitors, as all settings exceed 130 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is heavily taxed. Low settings still manage an average of 142 FPS. Medium settings produce an average of 101 FPS, with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 116 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 71 FPS, and Ultra settings are playable at an average of 68 FPS. This data confirms that 4K gaming is possible, but users will need to accept lower settings to achieve higher frame rates.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 plays a crucial supporting role in this combo, ensuring the GPU is fed with enough data to maintain high frame rates. This processor is a member of the Core Ultra Series 2, built on the Arrow Lake architecture. It features 14 cores and 14 threads, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The CPU has a 24 MB shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus.

The CPU's synthetic benchmark scores are impressive. In Cinebench R23, it scores 32924 points in multi-core and 4648 points in single-core tests. Its avgBenchmarkScore is 48995, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900, has an avgScore of 49228, a deltaPct of -0.5, meaning the Ultra 5 245 is 0.5% slower. Compared to the Intel Core i5-14600K, which has an avgScore of 48618, the Ultra 5 245 is 0.8% faster. This performance headroom is critical; in Pc Building Simulator, the game's simulation logic can be demanding, and a strong CPU ensures that frame times remain consistent.

The data shows that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in this system. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 431 FPS, which is likely near the game's engine limit or the point where CPU single-thread performance becomes the limiting factor. However, the CPU's high single-thread score of 4648 in Cinebench R23 suggests it has the capability to handle the game's logic efficiently. The fact that the combo ranks in the top 9.2% of all tested combos reflects the CPU's ability to keep up with the RTX 4070 Ti, allowing the GPU's performance to scale effectively with resolution and settings. The 65W TDP and efficient 3nm process node also mean this level of performance comes without excessive power draw, making it a solid foundation for a high-performance build.
