The Sims™ 4 benchmark on GTX 1070: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
The Sims™ 4 FPS with a GTX 1070 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 35FPS min 31Acceptable | 26FPS min 23Poor | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| High | 45FPS min 40Acceptable | 33FPS min 29Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| Medium | 59FPS min 52Acceptable | 44FPS min 39Acceptable | 19FPS min 17Poor |
| Low | 77FPS min 68Good | 56FPS min 50Acceptable | 24FPS min 21Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 44% | GPU 59% | GPU 82% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 3% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for The Sims™ 4, it is not worth it. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders The Sims™ 4 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1070 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 35 | 44 | 51 |
| 1440p | 26 | 35 | 43 |
| 4K | 11 | 16 | 20 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1070 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 1070 is what caps the frame rate in The Sims™ 4. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 1070 Enough for The Sims™ 4?
The GTX 1070 delivers 35 FPS at 1080p Ultra in The Sims™ 4. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 26 FPS and at 4K 11 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
