Pc Building Simulator

Best Settings per Resolution

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and Intel Arc B390 shows a clear performance ceiling that scales predictably with resolution. At 4K (3840x2160), none of the tested presets reach the 60 FPS playable threshold. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is the defining metric here, and the results are as follows.

At 3840x2160, the combination fails to hit 60 FPS on any preset. The highest recorded average is 41 FPS on Low settings, which is still well below the playable threshold. Medium settings drop to 29 FPS, High settings deliver 21 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 20 FPS. The database shows no playable settings at this resolution, meaning the verdict is a clear "not playable" for 4K.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains limited. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, which delivers an average of 79 FPS. Medium settings fall to 56 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, and High settings drop further to 39 FPS. Ultra settings are the worst at 38 FPS. So for 1440p, the answer is straightforward: Low settings is the only preset that clears the bar, and it does so with a comfortable margin.

At 1920x1080, the combination finally shows its strengths. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which delivers an average of 62 FPS. This is the best balance of visual quality and smoothness in the entire dataset. Medium settings run at 88 FPS, Low settings hit 125 FPS, and Ultra settings just miss the threshold at 59 FPS. The data indicates that High is the sweet spot for 1080p, as it is the highest visual preset that still maintains playable frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results reveal an interesting dynamic between the CPU and GPU for Pc Building Simulator, particularly when examining how frame rates scale across resolutions and presets. The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics solution, and its performance characteristics dominate the outcome in this pairing.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are uniformly low across all presets, ranging from 20 FPS at Ultra to 41 FPS at Low. The scaling between presets is steep: dropping from Ultra to Low nearly doubles the frame rate. This pattern suggests that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution, as the graphics workload is too heavy for the integrated solution to handle regardless of CPU capability.

At 2560x1440, the scaling pattern continues but with a notable shift. Low settings deliver 79 FPS, while Medium drops to 56 FPS, a 29% reduction. High settings fall to 39 FPS, and Ultra to 38 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is minimal, indicating that the GPU is saturated and the additional graphical features at Ultra have diminishing returns. The CPU, a 6-core Zen 3 part with 12 threads and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, has ample headroom for this simulation game, but the integrated GPU cannot translate that headroom into higher frame rates.

At 1920x1080, the CPU and GPU roles become clearer. The frame rates are significantly higher across the board, with Low at 125 FPS, Medium at 88 FPS, High at 62 FPS, and Ultra at 59 FPS. The transition from Medium to High represents a 30% drop, while High to Ultra is only a 5% drop. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to maintain higher frame rates, but the GPU still limits performance at higher presets. The CPU's single-threaded performance, as shown in benchmarks like 3dmark_single_thread at 882 and passmark_single_thread at 3256, is more than sufficient for this title.

Comparing the scaling between resolutions reveals that the GPU is the dominant factor. Dropping from 1080p Low (125 FPS) to 1440p Low (79 FPS) is a 37% reduction, while dropping from 1080p High (62 FPS) to 1440p High (39 FPS) is a 37% reduction as well. This consistent scaling across resolutions points to a GPU-bound scenario at all settings. The CPU, which scores 18,309 in cinebench_r23_multicore and 2,584 in cinebench_r23_singlecore, is not the limiting factor; the integrated Arc B390, with its 1,536 shading units and 7.680 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, is what determines the final frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and Intel Arc B390 ranks 3,310 out of 3,723 total combos. This places it in the bottom 11% of all tested systems, which is consistent with the integrated GPU's low performance ceiling. The Ryzen 5 5600 itself is a capable processor, sitting in the 74th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 20,468. However, the Intel Arc B390 sits in the 9th percentile of all GPUs, and the combination's overall rank reflects this severe imbalance.

The rank of 3,310 out of 3,723 means that 413 other combinations perform worse, but the vast majority of tested systems deliver better results. This is expected for a setup pairing a mid-range desktop CPU with an integrated graphics solution. The CPU is not the problem here; the GPU is. In fact, the Ryzen 5 5600's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (0.1% ahead), AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (0.2% ahead), AMD EPYC 9454P (0.2% ahead), and AMD EPYC 7713 (0.5% ahead), showing that the CPU is competitive with far more expensive parts. But the Arc B390's nearest rivals are all legacy NVIDIA parts from over a decade ago, such as the GeForce GT 520MX and GeForce GT 710, which underscores the GPU's low standing.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For users looking at the CPU side of this pairing, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 has several close alternatives in the database. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V scores 20,454, a 0.1% difference from the Ryzen 5 5600's 20,468 average. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20,425, a 0.2% difference. The AMD EPYC 9454P scores 20,422, also a 0.2% difference, and the AMD EPYC 7713 scores 20,363, a 0.5% difference. Any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically to the Ryzen 5 5600 in Pc Building Simulator, since the game is GPU-bound with this graphics solution.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B390's nearest rivals are all substantially weaker parts. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1,463 in the same benchmark, a 1.3% difference. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1,460, a 1.5% difference. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1,446, a 2.5% difference, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1,443, a 2.7% difference. These GPUs would produce very similar frame rates in Pc Building Simulator, meaning the overall gameplay experience would be nearly indistinguishable. However, it is important to note that these are all integrated or very low-end discrete GPUs, so the performance class is uniformly low.

For a user considering this combo, the practical takeaway is that the CPU has headroom to support a much stronger GPU, but the integrated Arc B390 anchors the system's gaming performance. Swapping the GPU for a discrete solution would dramatically change the results, but within the confines of the tested data, this pairing performs at the level of a system from the early 2010s in terms of GPU capability.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Pc Building Simulator has a nuanced answer depending on resolution and settings. The verdict by resolution from the database is clear.

At 3840x2160, the answer is no. There are no playable settings, meaning no preset achieves an average of 60 FPS. The best option, Low settings, averages 41 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. This resolution is not viable for this combination.

At 2560x1440, the answer is a qualified yes. The only playable setting is Low, which averages 79 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold with a 19 FPS margin, so players can enjoy the game at 1440p with reduced visual quality. Medium settings fall to 56 FPS, which is technically unplayable by the database's standards, though some players might find it acceptable.

At 1920x1080, the answer is a definitive yes. The database shows three playable presets: High at 62 FPS, Medium at 88 FPS, and Low at 125 FPS. High settings is the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 1080p gaming. Ultra settings just miss the mark at 59 FPS, so players who prioritize visual fidelity over a smooth frame rate might still consider it, but the data suggests High is the optimal balance.

In summary, this PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but only at 1080p with High settings or lower, and at 1440p with Low settings. The integrated Intel Arc B390 is the limiting factor, holding back an otherwise capable CPU. The Ryzen 5 5600 has the processing power to handle far more demanding graphics, but the Arc B390's low performance ceiling, as evidenced by its 9th percentile ranking among GPUs, restricts the overall experience. For 1080p gaming at medium-to-high quality, this combo works. For 4K or high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming, it does not.
