How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1693 out of 3002 puts this system in the 56th percentile of all tested configurations in Pc Building Simulator. That position reflects a significant imbalance between the two components: the CPU's 96th percentile standing pulls the overall score upward, while the GPU's 65th percentile drags it back down. In a simulation game like this, where the CPU handles most of the logic and calculation work, the ranking makes sense — the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus delivers enormous multithreaded throughput, but the RTX 2070 SUPER is a previous-generation mid-range card.

Looking at the CPU's benchmark results clarifies why it ranks so highly. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 44,253 and single-core score of 2,439 demonstrate strong scaling across its 24 cores and 24 threads. PassMark multithread score of 68,574 further reinforces this, while the single-thread score of 5,068 shows the architecture handles lightly-threaded workloads well too. The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 96 means it outperforms 96% of all processors in the database, making it a top-tier part by any measure.

The GPU tells a different story. With a percentileVsAllGpus of 65, the RTX 2070 SUPER sits comfortably in the upper-middle range but falls well short of flagship territory. Its PassMark G3D score of 18,169 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1,651 place it in a tight cluster with the Quadro M4000M and RTX 3070 Mobile, all within 1.5% of each other. This clustering suggests the card is firmly established at a particular performance tier, and the game's measured FPS reflects that ceiling.

In Pc Building Simulator specifically, the combo's rank suggests the system is more than capable for the game's demands, but not exceptional. The game is not graphically intensive by modern standards, so the CPU-heavy nature of this pairing actually works in its favor at lower resolutions. The measured FPS data confirms this: at 1080p the system produces very high frame rates across all settings, while at 4K it drops to barely playable levels on higher presets.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of GPU limitation as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the system hits 248 FPS average — a number that indicates the CPU is feeding frames far faster than the display could ever show. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 156 FPS, and at 4K Low it falls to 82 FPS. That progression from 248 to 156 to 82 shows the GPU struggling more with each pixel count increase, even at the least demanding settings.

The scaling becomes more dramatic at higher settings. At High preset, the system runs 124 FPS at 1080p, 78 FPS at 1440p, and 41 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 46 FPS (37%), while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 37 FPS (47%). This accelerating decline as resolution climbs points directly at the GPU as the bottleneck — the CPU has ample headroom to push far more frames, but the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB of VRAM and compute throughput simply cannot keep pace.

Ultra settings tell the same story with lower absolute numbers: 118 FPS at 1080p, 74 FPS at 1440p, and 39 FPS at 4K. The 1080p-to-1440p drop is 44 FPS (37%), and the 1440p-to-4K drop is 35 FPS (47%). The consistency of these percentage drops across presets indicates the limiting factor is resolution-dependent rather than settings-dependent — the GPU's pixel throughput, not its shading complexity handling, is what caps performance.

At 4K Ultra, the system produces 39 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS threshold most builders consider smooth. Even 4K Medium only reaches 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 FPS, suggesting occasional stutter. The data indicates that 1440p is the realistic ceiling for this combo at higher settings, while 1080p allows the CPU to stretch its legs and deliver triple-digit frame rates on every preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1080p:

• Low: 248 FPS average
• Medium: 175 FPS average, 149 FPS minimum, 202 FPS maximum
• High: 124 FPS average
• Ultra: 118 FPS average

At 1080p, every preset delivers well over 100 FPS, making this resolution the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate displays. The gap between Low and Ultra is 130 FPS, showing that settings have a substantial impact even at this resolution. The Medium preset's 149 FPS minimum ensures smooth gameplay even in demanding scenes, with the 202 FPS maximum indicating the CPU can push much higher when the GPU isn't the constraint.

1440p:

• Low: 156 FPS average
• Medium: 111 FPS average, 94 FPS minimum, 127 FPS maximum
• High: 78 FPS average
• Ultra: 74 FPS average

At 1440p, the system remains highly playable on Medium and below, with Low still exceeding 150 FPS. High and Ultra both hover in the 74-78 FPS range, which is acceptable for most players but not ideal for competitive play. The Medium preset's 94 FPS minimum shows the system can maintain smooth performance even under load, though the gap between Low and Ultra has narrowed to 82 FPS compared to 130 FPS at 1080p — further evidence of GPU limitation.

4K:

• Low: 82 FPS average
• Medium: 58 FPS average, 49 FPS minimum, 67 FPS maximum
• High: 41 FPS average
• Ultra: 39 FPS average

At 4K, the system falls below 60 FPS on everything except Low. The Medium preset's 49 FPS minimum means it will occasionally dip into noticeable stutter territory. High and Ultra are essentially indistinguishable at 41 and 39 FPS respectively, suggesting the GPU has hit a hard computational wall that additional settings changes cannot overcome. The 8 GB VRAM buffer may also be a factor at this resolution, though the data does not directly confirm VRAM capacity as the cause.

GPU Role

The RTX 2070 SUPER's specifications reveal a card designed for 1440p gaming in its era, and the measured FPS data confirms that assessment. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is adequate for 1080p and 1440p but becomes strained at 4K where larger texture buffers and higher pixel counts demand more memory throughput. The card's 2560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units deliver 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, a figure that places it firmly in the mid-range of the Turing lineup.

The GPU's boost clock of 1770 MHz (base 1605 MHz) is typical for the 20-series, and its 64 ROPs provide a pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s. This pixel throughput is the key metric for resolution scaling — at 4K, the card must fill four times as many pixels as at 1080p, and the data shows it simply cannot maintain the same frame rates. The 283.2 GTexel/s texture rate helps with detailed surfaces, but again, this scales with resolution.

The card's position in the benchmark database reinforces its mid-range status. Its nearest rivals — the Quadro M4000M, RTX 3070 Mobile, Arc B570, and Arc A750 — are all within 1.5% of its average score, indicating this is a well-established performance tier. The PassMark GPU Compute score of 7,557 shows the card handles compute workloads reasonably, but this is less relevant for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator.

The RTX 2070 SUPER's 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores provide ray tracing and DLSS capabilities, but the measured FPS data does not include ray-traced or DLSS scenarios. In Pc Building Simulator, these features are unlikely to be heavily utilized, so the card's rasterization performance is what matters most. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K Ultra, memory capacity may contribute to the 39 FPS result — though the data does not explicitly confirm this.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data suggests that 1080p is the resolution where this combo truly shines, with every preset delivering above 118 FPS. For players with high-refresh-rate monitors, 1080p High at 124 FPS provides an excellent balance of visual quality and smoothness, while 1080p Medium at 175 FPS is the better choice for competitive play or if frame rate consistency matters most. The 1080p Ultra preset at 118 FPS offers only a 6 FPS penalty over High, so there is little reason to avoid Ultra if visual fidelity is the priority at this resolution.

At 1440p, the recommendation becomes more nuanced. The Medium preset at 111 FPS (94 FPS minimum) is the sweet spot, delivering smooth performance with decent visual quality. Dropping to Low at 156 FPS is viable for players who prioritize frame rate above all else, but the jump from Low to Medium costs 45 FPS — a significant trade-off. High at 78 FPS and Ultra at 74 FPS are both playable but do not clear the 80 FPS threshold that many players consider the floor for smooth gameplay. For most users, 1440p Medium is the recommended choice.

At 4K, the system struggles to maintain playable frame rates on most presets. Low at 82 FPS is the only preset that exceeds 60 FPS, making it the only viable option for 4K gaming. Medium at 58 FPS (49 FPS minimum) is borderline, with occasional dips below 50 FPS that could cause noticeable stuttering. High and Ultra at 41 and 39 FPS respectively are not recommended for any gameplay scenario — these settings are only suitable for screenshots or static scenes. Players with 4K displays should either accept Low settings or reduce the resolution to 1440p for a better experience.

For the best overall experience with this combo, the data points to 1440p Medium as the ideal configuration. It delivers 111 FPS average with a 94 FPS minimum, providing smooth gameplay with good visual quality. The alternative of 1080p Ultra at 118 FPS is equally valid for players who prefer maximum visual fidelity over resolution. Given that the CPU has enormous headroom and the GPU is the limiting factor, players should prioritize keeping the RTX 2070 SUPER's load reasonable — which means avoiding 4K unless they are willing to play on Low settings.
