Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title from 2019, presents a unique workload that scales dramatically across resolutions and settings when paired with the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070. The measured data reveals a system capable of extreme frame rates at 1080p, with performance tapering off predictably as resolution increases, highlighting the shifting balance between CPU and GPU load in this specific title.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K in Pc Building Simulator shows a clear and steep curve, indicating that the game becomes progressively more demanding on the GPU as pixel count rises. At the High preset, average FPS drops from 196 at 1920x1080 to 124 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 72 FPS, before falling further to 65 at 3840x2160. This trajectory shows that moving from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 37% of the performance, while the jump to 4K from 1440p halves the frame rate again, underscoring the exponential cost of higher resolutions.

This scaling pattern strongly suggests that at 1080p, the system is heavily CPU-bound. The massive 392 FPS average at Low settings with 1080p resolution is a strong indicator that the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 is feeding frames faster than the RTX 5070 can render them, even at its peak. The fact that increasing resolution to 1440p at Low settings still yields 248 FPS, a drop of 144 FPS, shows that while the GPU load is increasing, the CPU is still able to keep up, pushing the bottleneck further towards the graphics card.

At 4K resolution, the tables turn completely. The difference between Low (129 FPS) and Ultra (62 FPS) settings at 3840x2160 is a substantial 67 FPS, revealing that the RTX 5070's rendering capabilities are now the primary limiting factor. The data indicates a smooth transition: at 1080p, the CPU is the ceiling; at 1440p, the workload is more balanced; and at 4K, the GPU is definitively the limiting component. The 4K Medium preset's min FPS of 78 and max of 105, with an average of 92, shows that even at this high resolution, the hardware maintains playable frame rates with a relatively narrow variance, suggesting consistent performance without major stutters.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 plays a pivotal role in shaping the performance landscape at higher resolutions and settings. With 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, it offers a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s, which is critical for handling the texture and asset streaming demands of a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, where detailed system components are rendered. The 80 ROPs and 192 TMUs are tasked with the final pixel output and texture filtering, and the measured FPS at 4K shows these units are working hard, with the average dropping to 62 FPS at Ultra settings.

The GPU's clock speeds, a base of 2325 MHz and a boost of 2512 MHz, are relatively high, and the data suggests they are effectively utilized. The scaling from 1440p High (124 FPS) to 4K High (65 FPS) is a near-halving of performance, which is a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario. This is further supported by the fact that at 1080p, the difference between Low (392 FPS) and Ultra (187 FPS) is over 200 FPS, showing that the GPU is not the bottleneck at lower resolutions. The RTX 5070's compute capabilities, rated at 30.87 TFLOPS for FP32, are sufficient for the game's physics and simulation logic, which become more prominent as the graphical queue fills up.

The data shows that the GPU only becomes the definitive limiting factor at 4K. At this resolution, the performance gap between Low and Ultra settings widens to 67 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the primary constraints. The 4K Medium preset, with an average of 92 FPS and a minimum of 78, suggests that the RTX 5070 has enough headroom to maintain smooth gameplay even when a moderate amount of graphical effects are enabled, but the Ultra preset pushes it to its limits.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and the user's priority for frame rate versus visual fidelity. At 1920x1080, every preset delivers a high frame rate, with even the Ultra setting averaging 187 FPS. The data shows that the Ultra preset is the best choice here, as the 196 FPS from High is only marginally better, while Ultra provides the maximum visual quality without any risk of dropping below 60 FPS. The Low preset's 392 FPS is excessive for most displays and sacrifices too much visual detail.

For 2560x1440, the High preset is the standout recommendation, averaging 124 FPS. The Ultra preset, at 118 FPS, is only 6 FPS slower, meaning it is also a viable option for users who prefer maximum graphical detail. The Medium preset, at 175 FPS, offers a significant frame rate boost but is likely overkill for most 1440p monitors, which typically cap at 144Hz or 165Hz. The data suggests that High or Ultra provide the best balance of visual quality and performance at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the High preset yields 65 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The Medium preset is a safer choice, offering 92 FPS, which provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS and ensures smoother gameplay. The Ultra preset, at 62 FPS, is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes, making Medium the recommended setting for a consistent 4K experience. The Low preset, at 129 FPS, is an option for competitive play or for users who prioritize frame rate above all else, but it sacrifices significant visual detail.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete dataset for this configuration provides a clear picture of its performance. At 1920x1080, the average FPS is 187 for Ultra, 196 for High, 278 for Medium, and 392 for Low. The Medium preset also has recorded min and max values of 236 and 320 FPS, respectively. These numbers show a system with immense headroom at 1080p, where even the most demanding preset produces a frame rate far exceeding standard monitor refresh rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS drops to 118 for Ultra, 124 for High, 175 for Medium, and 248 for Low. The Medium preset's min and max are 149 and 202 FPS. This resolution shows a more balanced workload, but the system still delivers high performance across the board. The 1440p High preset's 124 FPS is a sweet spot for high-refresh-rate gaming, while the Low preset's 248 FPS shows the CPU is still capable of pushing very high frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS is 62 for Ultra, 65 for High, 92 for Medium, and 129 for Low. The Medium preset has a min of 78 and a max of 105 FPS. This is where the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, with the Ultra and High presets hovering near the 60 FPS mark. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is a 67 FPS drop, which is the largest percentage difference across all resolutions, confirming that the RTX 5070's rendering capabilities are the limiting factor here.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245, with its 14 cores and 14 threads, provides a substantial foundation for Pc Building Simulator's simulation logic. The absence of hyper-threading means the 14 cores are physical, and the data suggests that the game is able to utilize this multi-core capacity effectively at lower resolutions. The 1080p Low preset's 392 FPS average reflects the CPU's ability to process the game's systems and feed frames to the GPU at an extraordinary rate.

The CPU's high boost clock of 5.10 GHz is a key factor in this performance. The single-core performance, as evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4648, is strong, which is critical for the game's main simulation thread. The 24 MB of shared L3 cache also helps in reducing latency for frequently accessed data. The benchmark data shows that the CPU's multi-core performance is competitive, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 32924, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs.

However, the CPU's role is primarily evident at 1080p. As resolution increases, the frame rate drops in a pattern that indicates the GPU is taking over as the primary bottleneck. At 4K, the difference between CPU-driven performance is less apparent, as the frame rate is constrained by the RTX 5070. The CPU's 65W TDP and efficient 3nm process node allow it to maintain high clocks under load, ensuring that it does not throttle and become a limiting factor even in extended gaming sessions. The data confirms that the Core Ultra 5 245 is a capable partner for the RTX 5070, providing enough processing power to prevent the GPU from being underutilized at mainstream resolutions.
