Pc Building Simulator

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is an extreme pairing that produces remarkably high frame rates in Pc Building Simulator, with the data showing that even the most demanding Ultra preset clears the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution tested, including 4K. The benchmark results indicate that this combination is heavily GPU-bound at lower resolutions, with the RTX 5090 delivering over 250 FPS at 1080p Ultra, while the CPU’s 4-core/8-thread configuration proves sufficient for this simulation title’s demands.

Best Settings per Resolution

The measured FPS data supports a clear conclusion: this combo can run Pc Building Simulator at the maximum Ultra preset with an average frame rate well above 60 FPS at all three tested resolutions. There is no need to compromise on visual quality.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which produces an average of 83.8 FPS. This is the best possible settings choice because the data shows Ultra is fully playable, and the next step down (High) actually delivers a lower average of 87.1 FPS — meaning the performance headroom is sufficient to run the game at its highest visual fidelity without dropping below the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the answer is also Ultra with an average of 163.5 FPS. This represents a significant jump over the 4K result, showing that the RTX 5090 has ample headroom at this resolution. The High preset at this resolution runs at 168.3 FPS, but since Ultra maintains nearly the same performance, there is no reason to select a lower preset.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the best settings are again Ultra, delivering an average of 253.8 FPS. This is the highest performance tier available, and the frame rate is so far above the 60 FPS threshold that even the most demanding preset leaves massive headroom for any additional background tasks or future game updates.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i3-12100F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination achieves a combo rank of 151 out of 3,723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the configuration in the top 4% of all tested hardware pairings, which is an exceptional result for a system built around a 4-core CPU. The data suggests that the RTX 5090’s raw rasterization power (Passmark G3D score of 39,650) dominates the performance profile, while the i3-12100F’s single-thread performance (Geekbench single-core score of 1,932) is sufficient to avoid holding the GPU back in this simulation genre.

The ranking is particularly impressive when considering the CPU’s overall standing: the i3-12100F sits at the 68th percentile among all CPUs, meaning it is a mid-range processor by global standards. Despite this, the combo outperforms the vast majority of tested systems because Pc Building Simulator is not a heavily multithreaded title. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11,860 and Passmark multithread score of 14,015 are modest compared to high-end processors, but the game’s workload does not appear to require more than the 4 cores and 8 threads available.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for both components provides context for what other hardware would deliver similar performance. For the CPU, the closest alternatives are the Intel Core 3 N355 (average score 13,492, delta 0%), Intel Core i5-9500 (average score 13,452, delta 0.3%), Intel Core 5 120UL (average score 13,594, delta -0.7%), and Intel Core i7-1250U (average score 13,351, delta 1.1%). These processors all fall within roughly 1% of the i3-12100F’s average benchmark score of 13,494, meaning a user swapping to any of these would see nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Pc Building Simulator.

For the GPU, the nearest performance rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (average score 79,605, delta 0.3%), NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (average score 79,396, delta 0.6%), AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (average score 78,940, delta 1.1%), and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X (average score 80,959, delta -1.4%). These GPUs all have average benchmark scores within 1.4% of the RTX 5090’s 79,842 average, suggesting they would produce nearly identical FPS in this game. However, it is worth remembering the RTX 5090’s Passmark G3D score of 39,650 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 18,355 indicate very high raw performance, so any of these rivals would still deliver well above 60 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all settings and resolutions. At 3840x2160, the averages are 177.6 FPS (Low), 126.7 FPS (Medium), 87.1 FPS (High), and 83.8 FPS (Ultra). The gap between High and Ultra is relatively small at 3.3 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset’s additional effects are not particularly demanding on the RTX 5090. The jump from Low to Medium is larger (50.9 FPS), while Medium to High drops by 39.6 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 295 FPS (Low), 239.1 FPS (Medium), 168.3 FPS (High), and 163.5 FPS (Ultra). The performance scaling is somewhat unusual here: Medium to High shows a large drop of 70.8 FPS, while High to Ultra only costs 4.8 FPS. This suggests that the High preset introduces a significant rendering feature that is not further scaled at Ultra. The 1080p results follow a similar pattern: 347.9 FPS (Low), 308.1 FPS (Medium), 265.1 FPS (High), and 253.8 FPS (Ultra). The Medium-to-High drop is 43 FPS, while High-to-Ultra is only 11.3 FPS.

Across all resolutions, the data shows that the RTX 5090 provides massive performance headroom. Even the worst-case scenario (4K Ultra at 83.8 FPS) exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold by nearly 40%. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings shows a reduction from 253.8 FPS to 83.8 FPS, which is a 67% performance decrease — a typical resolution scaling curve for a high-end GPU.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Pc Building Simulator, and it does so with exceptional performance at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at every resolution, meaning the only question is how much performance headroom you want.

At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is Ultra with an average of 83.8 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable margin. At 2560x1440, Ultra delivers 163.5 FPS, and at 1920x1080, Ultra achieves 253.8 FPS. In every case, the most demanding preset is fully playable, and the data indicates that the system could likely handle even higher refresh rates if the display supports them.

The combination of a modest 4-core CPU with a flagship 32 GB GPU produces a surprisingly well-balanced result for this game. The RTX 5090’s 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth provide massive headroom for texture-heavy scenes, while the i3-12100F’s single-thread performance (Geekbench single-core score of 1,932) ensures the simulation logic runs smoothly. The data shows that users should select Ultra settings at any resolution without concern, as the system maintains frame rates between 83.8 FPS (4K Ultra) and 253.8 FPS (1080p Ultra) — all far above the playable threshold.
