Pc Building Simulator

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, this combo delivers its strongest results. The Low preset reaches 125 FPS average, which is the highest recorded figure across all tested configurations. Medium follows at 88 FPS average, with a minimum of 75 FPS and a maximum of 102 FPS. High settings produce 62 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 59 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 66 FPS, indicating that preset selection heavily influences performance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers scale downward as expected. Low settings still manage 79 FPS average, a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS playability threshold. Medium drops to 56 FPS average, with a minimum of 47 FPS and a maximum of 64 FPS. High falls to 39 FPS average, and Ultra sits at 38 FPS average. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 41 FPS, a narrower spread than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the results become marginal. Low settings produce 41 FPS average, Medium reaches 29 FPS average with a minimum of 25 FPS and a maximum of 34 FPS, High drops to 21 FPS average, and Ultra bottoms out at 20 FPS average. None of these figures approach the 60 FPS threshold, and even the best case, Low at 41 FPS, falls well short of playable performance for smooth gameplay.

The recorded data shows a consistent pattern across all three resolutions: preset scaling is substantial, with Low always delivering roughly double the frame rate of Ultra. The Medium preset at each resolution provides the only min/max measurements in the dataset, which allows for a closer look at frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the spread between minimum and maximum is 27 FPS, while at 1440p Medium it is 17 FPS, and at 4K Medium it is 9 FPS. This narrowing spread at higher resolutions indicates that the frame rate becomes more stable but at a much lower overall level.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that this game is heavily GPU-bound, but the integrated nature of the Intel Arc B390 creates a unique dynamic. The GPU is classified as an IGP with system-shared memory, meaning it relies on the host CPU's memory bandwidth and allocation. The CPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 7600, has a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s with dual-channel DDR5 support, which directly feeds the GPU's system-shared memory.

At 1920x1080, the CPU has headroom to spare. The Ryzen 5 7600 scores 999 in 3dmark single-thread and 1,852 in Cinebench R23 single-core, figures that are ample for a simulation title. The bottleneck at this resolution is clearly the GPU, as evidenced by the 66 FPS swing between Low and Ultra presets. The CPU is not the limiting factor when the GPU delivers 125 FPS at Low settings.

Scaling to 2560x1440, the GPU load increases, and the frame rate drops by 46 FPS at Low settings compared to 1080p. This 37% reduction in performance is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario where the rendering resolution directly impacts output. The CPU's role remains secondary, as its compute capacity does not change with resolution, yet the frame rate falls anyway.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmed. The 41 FPS at Low settings versus 125 FPS at 1080p Low represents a 67% performance loss, which cannot be attributed to CPU limitations. The Ryzen 5 7600's multicore score of 12,735 in Cinebench R23 and 6,503 in 3dmark max-threads indicate a processor that is far more capable than the frame rates suggest. The game's simulation logic may use multiple threads, given the 6-core, 12-thread configuration, but the GPU is the dominant constraint at every resolution tested.

The system-shared memory architecture of the Arc B390 means that the CPU's memory subsystem, rated at 83.2 GB/s, is also the GPU's memory pipeline. This shared resource creates a coupling between CPU memory performance and GPU throughput. At lower resolutions, this is less impactful, but at 4K, the memory bandwidth demands of the GPU likely contribute to the steep performance drop.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 3,310 out of 3,723 tested combos for this game. This places it in the lower 11% of all configurations, a position that reflects the GPU's limited capabilities rather than the CPU's strengths. The Ryzen 5 7600 sits in the 78th percentile among all CPUs, but the Arc B390 languishes in the 9th percentile among all GPUs, which drags the overall combo ranking down.

Among the 3,723 combos, this pairing is firmly in the bottom tier. The GPU's single benchmark score of 1,482 in 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 is the only GPU data point available, and its percentile ranking of 9 indicates that nearly all other GPUs outperform it. The CPU's strong benchmark scores, including a Geekbench multicore of 13,413 and a Passmark multithread of 27,058, do little to boost the combo because the game's frame rates are GPU-limited.

The rank of 3,310 means that 413 combos perform worse, but the vast majority of tested systems deliver better results. For a game that is not graphically demanding by modern standards, this combo's position suggests that the Arc B390 is the primary liability. A different GPU paired with the same CPU would likely rank substantially higher, given the CPU's 78th percentile standing.

The Verdict

This PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold at High, Medium, and Low presets. The best playable preset at this resolution is High, which delivers 62 FPS average. Ultra falls just short at 59 FPS average, so it is not recommended for consistent 60 FPS gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the only playable preset is Low, which achieves 79 FPS average. Medium at 56 FPS, High at 39 FPS, and Ultra at 38 FPS all fail to reach the 60 FPS playability threshold. The verdict data confirms that Low is the best settings option at this resolution, with a comfortable 19 FPS margin above the threshold.

At 3840x2160, this combo cannot run the game at playable frame rates. No preset reaches 60 FPS, and the highest recorded value is 41 FPS at Low settings. The database's verdict records no playable settings at this resolution, and the best settings field is null, meaning there is no configuration that meets the playability standard.

For users targeting 1080p, this system is adequate for High settings and can even approach Ultra, though the 59 FPS average at Ultra leaves no headroom for demanding scenes. At 1440p, the system is playable only at the lowest preset, which may not be visually acceptable to all users. At 4K, the system is not viable for this game.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The GPU's nearest rivals in the database are all significantly older NVIDIA parts. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1,463, which is 1.3% lower than the Arc B390's 1,482. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1,460, a 1.5% deficit. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1,446, which is 2.5% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1,443, a 2.7% gap. These deltas are small, meaning the Arc B390 performs within a few percent of these older discrete GPUs. Users coming from any of these cards would see nearly identical frame rates in this game.

On the CPU side, the nearest rivals are a mix of mobile and older desktop parts. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX scores 26,274, which is 0.2% lower than the Ryzen 5 7600's 26,324 average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS scores 26,402, which is 0.3% higher. The Intel Core i9-11900KF scores 26,212, a 0.4% deficit. The AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26,187, which is 0.5% lower. These differences are negligible, so swapping the Ryzen 5 7600 for any of these CPUs would produce essentially identical game performance, assuming the same GPU is used.

The practical takeaway from the rival data is that the GPU is the binding constraint. Any of the CPU rivals listed would pair with the Arc B390 to produce similar FPS figures, because the game is not CPU-bound at any resolution tested. Conversely, pairing the Ryzen 5 7600 with a stronger GPU would likely transform the system's ranking, but that configuration is not covered in this analysis.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which records 62 FPS average. Medium is also viable at 88 FPS, and Low reaches 125 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality among playable options. Ultra at 59 FPS is just below the threshold and should be avoided for consistent performance.

At 2560x1440, the only preset that maintains 60 FPS is Low, with a 79 FPS average. Medium at 56 FPS, High at 39 FPS, and Ultra at 38 FPS all fall short. Users at this resolution must accept Low settings to achieve playable frame rates. The 79 FPS figure provides a modest buffer above the threshold, but it is the ceiling for this resolution.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS, so there is no recommended setting. The best recorded result is Low at 41 FPS, but this is below the playability threshold. The database lists no playable settings for this resolution, confirming that 4K is not a viable option for this combo in this game.

For a smooth experience, the optimal configuration is 1080p with High settings, delivering 62 FPS. Users who prioritize frame rate over visuals can select Low at 1080p for 125 FPS, which is more than double the High preset's output. At 1440p, Low is the only choice, and at 4K, the system should be considered unusable for this title. The data is clear: this combo is a 1080p-oriented configuration with limited headroom for higher resolutions.
