Steamworld Build

Steamworld Build is a city builder released on 2023-11-30. The data set covers the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, with all FPS values flagged as measured. In the benchmark database for this game, this combo ranks 30th out of 1730 combinations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS progression from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 shows a consistent downward curve. At High settings, average FPS moves from 254.4 at 1920x1080 to 158.9 at 2560x1440 and then to 85.6 at 3840x2160. On Low, the same resolution steps yield 361.3, 279.3, and 146.8. On Medium, the sequence is 324.9, 212.1, and 110.6. On Ultra, it is 170.9, 107.9, and 55.1.

Every move to a higher resolution lowers average FPS. The largest 4K value, 146.8 on Low, is still below the smallest 1080p value, 170.9 on Ultra. That separation indicates that the render load at 4K becomes the primary constraint on the RTX 4090. At 1080p Low, the GPU is not the limiting component; the CPU and game engine must sustain 361.3 FPS, which is the highest frame rate in the data set. As resolution climbs, FPS scales down heavily, which points to the GPU becoming the dominant limiting component at 3840x2160. The pattern holds across all four settings presets, so it is not a single preset artifact.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD102 chip on a 5 nm TSMC process. It contains 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die. The card has 16,384 shading units, 512 texture mapping units, 176 ROPs, 128 RT cores, and 512 tensor cores. Core clocks are 2235 MHz base and 2520 MHz boost, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz and 21 Gbps effective. The memory configuration is 24 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus, delivering 1.01 TB/s of memory bandwidth. Pixel rate is 443.5 GPixel/s, texture rate is 1,290.2 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute is 82.58 TFLOPS. The GPU also has a 450 W TDP with a suggested PSU of 850 W.

In the GPU benchmark distribution, the RTX 4090 sits at the 91st percentile with an average benchmark score of 66473. Its nearest rivals are close in average score: the Tesla T4 scores 66733 with a deltaPct of -0.4, the Tesla P40 scores 66127 with a deltaPct of 0.5, the Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 67097 with a deltaPct of -0.9, and the Quadro P6000 scores 67320 with a deltaPct of -1.3. Individual GPU benchmarks include a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 9223, Geekbench OpenCL score of 317684, Geekbench Vulkan score of 270615, PassMark G3D score of 38194, and PassMark GPU compute score of 26613.

These numbers appear in the Steamworld Build results as high frame rates at every resolution. The 24 GB frame buffer and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are the memory characteristics of the measured configuration. At 4K, the average FPS is 146.8 on Low, 110.6 on Medium, 85.6 on High, and 55.1 on Ultra. The 2520 MHz boost clock feeds the 443.5 GPixel/s pixel rate, which is the throughput that keeps 4K High at 85.6. The data set does not include VRAM usage figures, so the exact memory load cannot be extracted, but the listed memory pool is 24 GB GDDR6X.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a desktop CPU with 8 cores and 16 threads. It belongs to the 7000 series, uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Raphael codename, and is built on a 5 nm TSMC process. The socket is AMD Socket AM5. Base clock is 3.80 GHz, boost clock is 5.30 GHz, and TDP is 65 W. Cache includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel interface with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth.

The CPU’s benchmark profile shows a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29302 and a single-core score of 4136. Cinebench R20 multicore is 12306 and single-core is 1737. PassMark multithread score is 34470 and PassMark single-thread score is 4063. The 7700 sits at the 91st percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 40468. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H at 40431 with a deltaPct of 0.1, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 at 40262 with a deltaPct of 0.5, the Intel Core i9-13905H at 40712 with a deltaPct of -0.6, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T at 39995 with a deltaPct of 1.2.

For Steamworld Build, the CPU-side picture is best seen at 1920x1080. The measured 361.3 FPS on Low and 324.9 FPS on Medium require the CPU to feed frames at very high rates. The 7700’s 16 threads and 5.30 GHz boost clock provide the compute for that workload. The single-core score of 4136 and multicore score of 29302 are the two scores that capture both the simulation-oriented and render-feeding aspects of this CPU. At 3840x2160, frame rates are lower, which gives the CPU more headroom relative to the GPU; the measured 4K values are limited by the GPU’s rendering work rather than by the CPU’s frame generation capacity.
