Pc Building Simulator

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Pc Building Simulator with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B370 shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combination delivers playable frame rates at Low and Medium settings. Low settings average 113 FPS, while Medium averages 80 FPS with a recorded minimum of 68 FPS and maximum of 92 FPS. High settings drop to 56 FPS, just below the 60 FPS playable threshold, and Ultra averages 54 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results show a significant step down. Low settings average 71 FPS, which remains playable. Medium averages 50 FPS with a range of 43 to 58 FPS, placing it below the playable threshold. High settings average 36 FPS, and Ultra drops to 34 FPS. At 3840x2160, none of the settings reach playable frame rates. Low averages 37 FPS, Medium averages 26 FPS with a range of 22 to 30 FPS, High averages 19 FPS, and Ultra averages 18 FPS.

The pattern across resolutions is consistent: the gap between Low and Medium settings narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Medium is 33 FPS, while at 2160p, the difference is only 11 FPS. This indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions, compressing the performance spread between presets. The data shows no recorded minimum or maximum values for Low, High, or Ultra settings at any resolution, only for Medium settings, which provides a partial picture of frame time consistency.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data reveals how the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B370 divide responsibility across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence on performance. The Ryzen 5 3600 provides 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, which is sufficient for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator. The GPU, with its 1280 shading units and 20 ROPs, handles the lower resolution workload without becoming the primary bottleneck. The result is that frame rates at 1080p scale strongly with settings, from 113 FPS at Low to 54 FPS at Ultra, indicating that both components have headroom and the CPU can feed the GPU adequately.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on a larger role. The frame rate drops from 71 FPS at Low to 34 FPS at Ultra, a reduction of 52%. This scaling is steeper than the resolution increase alone would suggest, indicating that the GPU's pixel throughput becomes more constrained. The Arc B370's pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s are modest figures, and at 1440p, these limits start to bind. The CPU still has enough single-thread performance, as shown by its 3dmark single-thread score of 696, to keep up, but the GPU is now the limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the bottleneck. The frame rates across all settings are tightly clustered, from 37 FPS at Low to 18 FPS at Ultra. This narrow spread indicates that the GPU is saturated regardless of settings, and the CPU's role is minimal. The Ryzen 5 3600's multi-thread performance, demonstrated by a cinebench r23 multicore score of 15045, is not being fully utilized because the GPU cannot render frames fast enough. The data shows that resolution scaling has a larger impact on performance than settings scaling, which is a clear sign of GPU limitation at higher resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 provide context for CPU-bound scenarios. The Intel Core i5-11400 scores 17067, which is 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 5 3600's 17035. This means that in situations where the CPU is the primary driver, such as at 1080p with lower settings, the i5-11400 would deliver nearly identical frame rates. The Intel Core i7-1260P scores 17007, 0.2% lower, and the AMD EPYC 7742 scores 16998, also 0.2% lower. These differences are within measurement noise, so any of these CPUs would behave similarly in Pc Building Simulator.

For the Intel Arc B370, the nearest rivals are significantly older hardware. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, which is 0.5% higher than the Arc B370's 1184. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, 0.2% higher, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4% lower. These deltas are all within 1.5%, meaning that in GPU-bound scenarios, which dominate at 1440p and 2160p, these older cards would produce frame rates very close to the Arc B370's measurements. The practical implication is that the Arc B370's performance class is similar to a mid-range GPU from over a decade ago, which explains the low 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs.

When combining these rival perspectives, the data suggests that swapping the Ryzen 5 3600 for any of its nearest rivals would not change the measured FPS meaningfully, as the CPU is not the limiting factor at most settings. Swapping the Arc B370 for any of its nearest rivals would also produce similar results, since the performance deltas are under 1.5%.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 3436 out of 3723 tested combos in the database for Pc Building Simulator. This places the system in the bottom 7.7% of all tested configurations. The ranking reflects the GPU's weak position, as the Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU is at the 71st percentile among all CPUs. The combination's performance is therefore heavily constrained by the graphics card.

In practical terms, this ranking means that the vast majority of tested systems deliver higher frame rates in Pc Building Simulator. The system is only competitive with older or lower-end hardware, as evidenced by the GPU's nearest rivals being from the ATI Radeon HD and FirePro families. The CPU's strong ranking does not compensate for the GPU's limitations, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU dominates performance.

The ranking also aligns with the measured FPS data. At 1920x1080, the system achieves playable frame rates on two of four settings, which is a modest result. At 2560x1440, only one setting is playable. At 3840x2160, no settings are playable. This progression mirrors the overall ranking, confirming that the system is best suited for 1080p gaming with reduced settings.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but with significant limitations depending on resolution. At 1920x1080, the system achieves playable frame rates on Low and Medium settings. Low averages 113 FPS, well above the 60 FPS threshold, and Medium averages 80 FPS, also above the threshold. High and Ultra settings fall short at 56 FPS and 54 FPS respectively. The best playable setting at 1080p is Medium, which offers a good balance of visual quality and performance.

At 2560x1440, the system is playable only on Low settings, averaging 71 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the 60 FPS threshold, with averages of 50, 36, and 34 FPS respectively. The best playable setting at 1440p is Low, which is the only option that clears the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system cannot achieve playable frame rates on any settings. The highest average is 37 FPS on Low, which is well below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra average 26, 19, and 18 FPS respectively. There are no playable settings at this resolution.

The verdict is clear: this combination is suitable for 1080p gaming with Low or Medium settings, and for 1440p gaming only on Low settings. For 4K gaming, the hardware is inadequate. The CPU is not the limiting factor, as the Ryzen 5 3600's performance is competitive with its peers. The GPU, ranked at the 5th percentile, is the primary constraint, and users seeking higher frame rates at higher resolutions would need significantly more powerful graphics hardware.
