Pc Building Simulator

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with the Intel Arc B370 ranks 3436 out of 3723 tested combinations for Pc Building Simulator. That places this combo in the bottom 8% of all tested systems, a position driven almost entirely by the graphics side of the equation. The CPU is a top-tier part, sitting at the 91st percentile among all processors, but the GPU lands at just the 5th percentile among all graphics cards. This is a severely imbalanced pairing for gaming purposes.

The recorded data shows that this combination struggles to deliver a consistently smooth experience at most settings. The playable threshold for the database is 60 FPS, and this combo only crosses that line at 1080p Medium and below, plus 1440p Low. At 4K, no settings reach the playable threshold. The bottleneck is unambiguous: the Intel Arc B370's single benchmark score of 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 places it in competition with integrated and entry-level discrete graphics from over a decade ago. The Ryzen 9 5950X, meanwhile, posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26017 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 15233, showing it has ample compute headroom that the GPU cannot exploit in this simulation title.

The rank of 3436 out of 3723 means the vast majority of tested combos outperform this one in Pc Building Simulator. The data suggests that users with this CPU should pair it with a far stronger GPU to achieve the frame rates the processor is capable of supporting. As configured, the system is effectively GPU-bound at every resolution and preset.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no settings preset achieves the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best recorded result is Low settings at 37 FPS average, which falls well short. Medium delivers 26 FPS, High drops to 19 FPS, and Ultra manages only 18 FPS. The database records no playable settings for this resolution, meaning the combo is not recommended for 4K gaming in this title.

At 2560x1440, the only playable setting is Low, which delivers an average of 71 FPS. That is the best settings preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Medium falls to 50 FPS average, High drops to 36 FPS, and Ultra sits at 34 FPS. The verdict data confirms Low as the best settings choice at this resolution, with 71 FPS average.

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Medium, delivering an 80 FPS average. Low runs at 113 FPS, which is higher but not the best balance of visual quality and performance. High drops below the threshold at 56 FPS, and Ultra sits at 54 FPS. The database verdict lists both Low and Medium as playable, with Medium selected as the best settings option at 80 FPS average. This is the resolution where the combo is most usable, though users must accept Medium settings to stay above 60 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a stark asymmetry between the CPU and GPU contributions in this pairing. At every resolution, the GPU is the limiting factor, and the recorded frame rates scale almost entirely with graphics settings rather than resolution changes that would stress the CPU.

At 1920x1080, dropping from Ultra to Low increases average FPS from 54 to 113, a gain of 59 FPS. That is a 109% improvement purely from reducing graphics load. At 2560x1440, the same settings change moves from 34 to 71 FPS, a 37 FPS gain or 109% improvement. At 3840x2160, Low delivers 37 FPS versus 18 FPS on Ultra, a 19 FPS gain or 106% improvement. The consistency of these percentage gains across resolutions indicates the GPU is saturated at all settings, with the CPU never becoming the bottleneck.

Resolution scaling tells the same story. At Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p drops FPS from 113 to 71, a 37% reduction. Moving from 1440p to 4K drops FPS from 71 to 37, another 48% reduction. These are classic GPU-bound scaling patterns, where pixel count directly dictates performance. The Ryzen 9 5950X with 16 cores and 32 threads is capable of far more than this game demands, and the recorded 3DMark scores for the CPU (10810 at 16 threads, 11597 at max threads) confirm it is not the constraint.

The Arc B370's specifications reinforce this analysis. With 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs, plus a memory interface that is system shared, the GPU is designed for low-power integrated use, not gaming workloads. Its 25 W TDP and base clock of 300 MHz with a 2400 MHz boost indicate a part that will throttle under sustained load. In Pc Building Simulator, which is primarily CPU-light simulation logic with moderate rendering demands, the GPU still becomes the wall at every resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database, both the CPU and GPU have close performance neighbors that would behave similarly in this game.

For the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, the nearest rivals by average benchmark score include the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX with an average score of 52073, which is 0.2% lower than the 5950X's 51947. The AMD EPYC 8124P scores 52121, 0.3% higher. The Intel Core i9-13900F scores 51730, 0.4% higher than the 5950X. The Intel Core i7-14700 scores 52301, 0.7% higher. All four processors are within 1% of the 5950X's average benchmark score, so any of them would produce virtually identical frame rates in Pc Building Simulator when paired with the same GPU. The performance difference between these CPUs is negligible for this game, since the GPU is the limiting factor.

For the Intel Arc B370, the nearest rivals are all legacy discrete GPUs from the HD 5000 and 6000 series era. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, just 0.2% higher than the Arc B370's 1184. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4% lower. These delta values are all under 1.5%, meaning users with any of these GPUs would see nearly identical performance in Pc Building Simulator. The Arc B370 is effectively in the same performance class as graphics hardware from roughly 2010, which explains its 5th percentile ranking.

Users considering alternatives should note that upgrading either component would change the dynamic. Swapping the GPU for something even modestly stronger would yield large gains, while swapping the CPU among its nearest rivals would produce no measurable difference given the GPU bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains measured frame rates for all combinations of three resolutions and four settings presets. All measurements are recorded as average FPS, with min and max values only available for Medium presets.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 37 FPS average
• Medium: 26 FPS average, 22 FPS minimum, 30 FPS maximum
• High: 19 FPS average
• Ultra: 18 FPS average

At 4K, the combo never approaches the 60 FPS threshold. Even the lowest settings preset delivers only 37 FPS, and the spread between Low and Ultra is just 19 FPS, showing that the GPU is so weak that even reducing graphics load cannot produce a playable result.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 71 FPS average
• Medium: 50 FPS average, 43 FPS minimum, 58 FPS maximum
• High: 36 FPS average
• Ultra: 34 FPS average

At 1440p, Low settings cross the playable threshold with 71 FPS average. Medium comes close at 50 FPS but falls short, and the minimum recorded during Medium gameplay is 43 FPS, which would be noticeable as stutter. High and Ultra are both below 40 FPS.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 113 FPS average
• Medium: 80 FPS average, 68 FPS minimum, 92 FPS maximum
• High: 56 FPS average
• Ultra: 54 FPS average

At 1080p, Low and Medium are both playable. Low delivers 113 FPS average, which is smooth even on high refresh rate displays. Medium at 80 FPS average with a 68 FPS minimum stays above the 60 FPS threshold throughout, making it the best playable visual quality setting. High at 56 FPS and Ultra at 54 FPS both miss the threshold by a small margin.

The min and max values for Medium settings show frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the 68 FPS minimum is still playable, while at 1440p Medium the 43 FPS minimum would cause visible hitches. At 4K Medium, the 22 FPS minimum makes the game nearly unplayable.
