Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X paired with the Intel Arc B370 presents a unique combination for running Pc Building Simulator. The recorded data shows a clear picture of performance across resolutions and presets, with the simulation’s demands heavily favoring the CPU while the GPU becomes a limiting factor at higher settings. This analysis walks through the measured FPS values, component roles, and optimal configurations based solely on the database.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo spans three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the database records average frame rates of 113 FPS on Low settings, 80 FPS on Medium, 56 FPS on High, and 54 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset also includes min and max values of 68 FPS and 92 FPS respectively, indicating a stable frame window. The High and Ultra presets lack min/max data, but their averages fall below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop significantly. Low settings deliver 71 FPS, which is the only preset at this resolution to clear the playable mark. Medium averages 50 FPS with a recorded range of 43 to 58 FPS, while High and Ultra average 36 FPS and 34 FPS respectively. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent reduction of roughly 37 to 38 percent across Low and Medium presets, while High and Ultra see slightly smaller percentage drops.

At 3840x2160, all presets fall well below playable levels. Low settings average 37 FPS, Medium averages 26 FPS with min/max of 22 and 30 FPS, High averages 19 FPS, and Ultra averages 18 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is only 19 FPS, suggesting that the GPU is heavily saturated and additional settings changes yield diminishing returns. The overall trend across all resolutions shows that Low settings provide the largest performance headroom, while Ultra consistently delivers the lowest averages.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the CPU plays a dominant role in Pc Building Simulator, particularly at lower resolutions. The Ryzen 9 9900X, with its 12 cores and 24 threads, provides substantial processing power. The recorded FPS at 1920x1080 Low (113 FPS) versus 2560x1440 Low (71 FPS) shows a 42 FPS drop when resolution increases by roughly 78 percent in pixel count. This suggests that the GPU begins to take on more responsibility as resolution climbs, but the CPU remains the primary driver of simulation logic.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. The Intel Arc B370, rated at just 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 and occupying the 5th percentile among all GPUs, cannot maintain high frame rates regardless of the CPU’s strength. The difference between 1080p Ultra (54 FPS) and 4K Ultra (18 FPS) is a 36 FPS drop, which aligns with the GPU’s limited pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s. In contrast, the CPU’s benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multicore result of 32172, show ample headroom for the game’s simulation tasks.

The settings scaling reinforces this split. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium costs 33 FPS, while Medium to High costs 24 FPS, and High to Ultra costs only 2 FPS. This pattern indicates that the GPU hits a performance wall around the High preset. At 1440p, the same Low to Medium transition costs 21 FPS, and at 4K it costs 11 FPS, showing that the GPU’s relative impact grows with resolution. The CPU’s role is most visible at 1080p Low, where the frame rate exceeds what the GPU would typically deliver at higher settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the database identifies the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS average. At 1920x1080, the best settings are Medium, which achieves an average of 80 FPS. This preset also shows a minimum of 68 FPS, ensuring that frame drops stay above the playable threshold. Low settings at this resolution reach 113 FPS, but Medium offers a better visual balance while still clearing the requirement comfortably.

At 2560x1440, only Low settings are playable, with an average of 71 FPS. The next step up, Medium, falls to 50 FPS with a minimum of 43 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. The database marks Low as the best settings for this resolution, as no higher preset maintains 60 FPS. Users seeking higher visual quality would need to accept sub-60 FPS performance, as High and Ultra average 36 and 34 FPS respectively.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The database records no playable settings for this resolution, with the best average coming from Low at 37 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall further behind, with averages of 26, 19, and 18 FPS. This resolution is effectively not playable with this combination, regardless of settings adjustments.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU provide context for its compute capabilities. The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X has an average benchmark score of 57498, sitting at the 92nd percentile among all CPUs. Its closest competitors include the AMD EPYC 9015 with a score of 57555 and a delta of -0.1 percent, the AMD EPYC 7313 with 57399 and a delta of 0.2 percent, the Intel Core i9-14900 with 58115 and a delta of -1.1 percent, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M with 58323 and a delta of -1.4 percent. These differences are minimal, meaning any of these CPUs would feed the Arc B370 similarly in this game.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B370 scores 1184 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, placing it in the 5th percentile. Its nearest rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with a score of 1186 and a delta of -0.2 percent, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1190 and a delta of -0.5 percent, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M with 1192 and a delta of -0.7 percent, and the AMD FirePro M2000 with 1168 and a delta of 1.4 percent. These GPUs would produce nearly identical FPS results in Pc Building Simulator, meaning users with any of these cards should expect similar performance ceilings.

The combination of a top-tier CPU with a low-tier GPU means that swapping the CPU for a rival would have negligible impact on frame rates, as the GPU remains the limiting factor in most presets. Conversely, replacing the GPU with a rival from the list would not improve performance either, as all score within 1.4 percent of each other.

The Verdict

This PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on Low and Medium presets, with Medium delivering the best playable experience at 80 FPS average. At 2560x1440, only Low settings maintain playability, achieving 71 FPS average. At 3840x2160, no settings reach 60 FPS, with the highest average being 37 FPS on Low.

The database verdict confirms these findings. For 1920x1080, the playable settings are Low and Medium, with Medium as the best option at 80 FPS. For 2560x1440, the only playable setting is Low at 71 FPS. For 3840x2160, there are no playable settings. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS, and the system meets this only at 1080p and 1440p with reduced quality presets.

Users who prioritize frame rate should stick to 1080p Medium or 1440p Low. Those who want higher visual fidelity at 1440p or any quality at 4K will need a more capable GPU. The CPU is not the constraint in this setup, as its 92nd percentile ranking indicates substantial headroom for the game’s simulation workload.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 3436 out of 3723 tested combos for Pc Building Simulator. This places the system in the lower portion of the rankings, reflecting the GPU’s limited performance despite the CPU’s strength. The Ryzen 9 9900X ranks in the 92nd percentile among CPUs, but the Arc B370’s 5th percentile GPU ranking drags the overall combo down.

The rank suggests that most other tested combinations deliver better frame rates in this game. The CPU’s high benchmark scores do not translate to top-tier gaming performance because the GPU cannot keep up at higher resolutions and settings. Users considering this build should focus on 1080p gaming with Medium settings, as the data shows that is the practical limit for a smooth experience. The combo rank reinforces that this configuration is CPU-heavy and GPU-light, which is a mismatch for a game that scales significantly with graphics hardware.
