Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B390 combination delivers a playable experience in Pc Building Simulator, but only under specific conditions. At 1080p, the combo clears the 60 FPS threshold on High settings, while 1440p requires dropping to Low. 4K resolution remains out of reach for smooth gameplay. The data indicates a system heavily constrained by the integrated GPU, which ranks in the bottom percentile of all tested graphics cards.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data shows clear performance tiers across the three resolutions tested. At 3840x2160, the highest resolution, the system struggles across every preset. The Low preset yields an average of 41 FPS, which is the only 4K result above 30 FPS. Medium drops to 29 FPS average with a minimum of 25 and maximum of 34. High produces 21 FPS average, and Ultra lands at 20 FPS. None of these results approach the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance improves substantially but still requires compromises. The Low preset achieves an average of 79 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS target. Medium averages 56 FPS with a range of 47 to 64, meaning it dips below the threshold during demanding scenes. High averages 39 FPS, while Ultra averages 38 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is significant, a 23 FPS difference, indicating that the GPU load scales sharply with preset quality.

At 1920x1080, the combination finally shows its strengths. Low settings produce an average of 125 FPS, a very high frame rate for a simulation title. Medium averages 88 FPS with a minimum of 75 and maximum of 102, keeping every measured frame above the 60 FPS line. High averages 62 FPS, just barely clearing the threshold. Ultra averages 59 FPS, missing the 60 FPS target by a single frame. The progression from Low to Ultra shows diminishing returns: 125 to 88 to 62 to 59 FPS, with the biggest drop occurring between Low and Medium.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each resolution step down from 4K roughly doubles the average FPS at equivalent settings. For example, at Low settings, 4K yields 41 FPS, 1440p yields 79 FPS, and 1080p yields 125 FPS. This scaling behavior points to a GPU-limited scenario where pixel count dominates performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS varies by resolution. At 1920x1080, the High preset is the best playable option, averaging 62 FPS. This is the highest quality setting that maintains the playable threshold. The Ultra preset falls just short at 59 FPS average, making it technically unplayable by the 60 FPS standard. For users who prioritize visual fidelity, High at 1080p is the ceiling for this combination.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset is the only playable option, averaging 79 FPS. Medium averages 56 FPS, which fails the 60 FPS requirement. The drop from Low to Medium costs 23 FPS on average, a steep price for moderate visual improvements. The data suggests that 1440p gaming with this combo requires accepting minimal graphics quality.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS. The best result is Low at 41 FPS, which is far below the playable threshold. Even the lowest quality settings cannot make 4K viable for this hardware combination. Users targeting 4K would need a substantially more powerful GPU.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the Intel Arc B390 is the primary bottleneck in this system. The GPU's percentile ranking sits at 9 among all tested graphics cards, placing it in the bottom tenth of the database. Its average benchmark score of 1482 is closely matched by the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 at 1443, a delta of 2.7 percent. This places the Arc B390 in extremely low-end territory.

The CPU side is much stronger. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 ranks in the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17035. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-11400 at 17067, a delta of -0.2 percent, and the Intel Core i7-1260P at 17007, a delta of 0.2 percent. The CPU is clearly not the limiting factor.

The resolution scaling confirms this analysis. At 1080p, the system delivers 125 FPS on Low settings, suggesting headroom in the CPU. But at 4K, the same settings produce only 41 FPS, a 67 percent reduction. This type of scaling is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload, where increasing pixel count directly impacts the graphics processor. The CPU's workload does not change significantly with resolution, so the frame rate drop must come from the GPU.

The preset scaling further supports this. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces average FPS from 125 to 59, a 53 percent drop. This is a large penalty for higher quality settings, which typically stresses the GPU through increased shading and texture work. The simulation genre also tends to be more CPU-sensitive than fast-paced shooters, but here the GPU clearly dominates the performance equation.

The Arc B390's specifications explain its limitations. It is an integrated GPU with system-shared memory and system-dependent bandwidth. This means it relies on the main system RAM for both storage and bandwidth, which is far slower than dedicated VRAM. The 80 W TDP and lack of power connectors indicate a low-power design, and its 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is modest by modern standards.

How This Combo Ranks

In Pc Building Simulator, this combination ranks 3310 out of 3723 tested configurations. This places it in the bottom 11 percent of all combos in the database. The ranking reflects the GPU's weakness more than the CPU's strength, as the Ryzen 5 3600 is a competent processor that scores well in synthetic benchmarks.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the database illustrate its standing. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, which is 2.7 percent lower than the Arc B390's 1482. The GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5 percent lower. These are legacy entry-level cards from a decade ago. The Arc B390 is only 1.3 percent ahead of the GeForce GT 520MX, which scores 1463. This places the Arc B390 in the same performance class as very old, low-end discrete GPUs.

The CPU's ranking tells a different story. The Ryzen 5 3600 sits near the Intel Core i5-11400 and the AMD EPYC 7742, both of which are within 0.2 percent of its average score. This is a mid-range processor that holds its own against newer and more expensive parts. The mismatch between CPU and GPU performance is stark: a 71st percentile processor paired with a 9th percentile graphics solution.

The net result is a system that performs like a low-end machine in this game. The rank of 3310 out of 3723 puts it ahead of only about 400 other configurations, most of which likely pair similarly weak GPUs with older CPUs. For a game like Pc Building Simulator, which is not graphically demanding, this rank is disappointing and reflects the GPU's inability to handle even moderate settings.

The Verdict

This PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but the experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution. At 1920x1080, the system is fully capable: High settings deliver 62 FPS average, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold, and Medium and Low provide even higher frame rates. Users playing at 1080p should select High for the best balance of quality and performance.

At 2560x1440, the system is technically playable but only on Low settings, which average 79 FPS. This requires accepting reduced visual quality. Medium settings fall short at 56 FPS average, so 1440p users must choose between smoothness and fidelity. The verdict for 1440p is that the system passes the 60 FPS test, but with minimal graphics settings.

At 3840x2160, the system fails to deliver a playable experience at any preset. The highest average is 41 FPS on Low, well below the 60 FPS target. Users with 4K monitors should not expect to play this game smoothly with this hardware combination.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p High is the sweet spot, 1440p Low is the only playable option, and 4K is not viable. The system's ranking of 3310 out of 3723 combos reflects its limited GPU performance. For a simulation game that benefits from seeing details in menus and interfaces, the 1080p High preset at 62 FPS provides a functional and visually acceptable experience. The 1440p Low preset at 79 FPS is also workable, but the visual compromise is noticeable. This is not a system for high-fidelity or high-resolution gaming, but it does meet the minimum playability standard at common gaming resolutions.
