CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded measurements show a system where the GPU is the dominant factor for Pc Building Simulator, but the CPU still matters at lower resolutions and lighter presets. At 1920x1080 the frame rates are extremely high across all settings, which indicates the simulation workload is not bottlenecking the graphics card. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 118.3 FPS, from 254.4 FPS down to 136.1 FPS, and this scaling is almost entirely driven by graphics load rather than processor throughput.

At 2560x1440 the same pattern holds. Low produces 177.4 FPS, Medium 129.1 FPS, High 87.5 FPS, and Ultra 85.1 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 48.3 FPS, while the drop from High to Ultra is only 2.4 FPS, which suggests the GPU is still managing the heavier presets without the CPU becoming a limiting factor. The i5-10400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, delivers enough thread count and single-core performance for the simulation logic in this game.

At 3840x2160 the GPU role becomes even clearer. The Ultra preset falls to 42.6 FPS, and High sits at 44.3 FPS, while Medium reaches 68.3 FPS and Low hits 91.1 FPS. The 4K resolution places a much heavier load on the RTX 5060's 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and 128 bit bus, and the CPU is no longer the deciding factor. The scaling between resolutions reinforces this: the same preset drops significantly when moving from 1440p to 4K. For example, High at 2560x1440 runs at 87.5 FPS, but High at 3840x2160 runs at 44.3 FPS, a reduction of 43.2 FPS. That is a GPU-bound shift, not a CPU-bound one.

The CPU's single-thread score of 688 in 3DMark and 2541 in PassMark single thread, along with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1451, is sufficient for this title. The game is classified as a simulation, but the measured data shows that graphics resolution and preset selection have a much larger impact on average FPS than the CPU's workload. At 1080p and 1440p, the GPU is capable of producing frame rates well above the 60 FPS playable threshold, even at Ultra. At 4K, only the lower presets clear the threshold, which points entirely to GPU performance limits.

Overall, the data indicates that users should prioritize GPU settings when tuning this game, especially at higher resolutions. The CPU role is secondary, though it must still be capable enough to feed the GPU at high frame rates. In this case, the i5-10400F is not the limiting component at any resolution or preset in the recorded measurements.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains measured average frame rates for this combo across three resolutions and four presets. No minimum or maximum frame rate values were recorded, so the following analysis uses only average FPS.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 254.4 FPS on Low, 198.7 FPS on Medium, 143.2 FPS on High, and 136.1 FPS on Ultra. Every preset clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by a wide margin. The difference between Ultra and Low is 118.3 FPS, and the difference between High and Ultra is just 7.1 FPS, which is a modest penalty for the highest quality settings.

At 2560x1440, the results are 177.4 FPS on Low, 129.1 FPS on Medium, 87.5 FPS on High, and 85.1 FPS on Ultra. All four presets remain above 60 FPS. The step from Medium to High costs 41.6 FPS, while High to Ultra costs only 2.4 FPS. This suggests that the Ultra preset at 1440p is not much more demanding than High in this game, at least in terms of average frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the results are 91.1 FPS on Low, 68.3 FPS on Medium, 44.3 FPS on High, and 42.6 FPS on Ultra. Only Low and Medium clear the 60 FPS threshold. The jump from Medium to High costs 24.0 FPS, and High to Ultra costs only 1.7 FPS. The 4K Ultra preset is the most demanding configuration tested, and it lands well below the playable threshold.

The overall trend across all resolutions is that Low is always far above 60 FPS, Medium is playable everywhere, and High and Ultra are playable at 1080p and 1440p but not at 4K. The largest single resolution penalty appears between 1440p High and 4K High, where the average FPS drops from 87.5 to 44.3.

The Verdict

This PC can run Pc Building Simulator, but the answer depends on the chosen resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 136.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are also playable, with Ultra averaging 85.1 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium averaging 68.3 FPS. High and Ultra at 4K fall to 44.3 FPS and 42.6 FPS respectively, both below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

The verdict from the database is clear: this combo provides a smooth experience at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, and at 4K with Medium settings. The 4K High and Ultra presets should be avoided if the user wants to stay at or above 60 FPS. For players who prioritize visual quality, 1440p Ultra is the best balance, since it delivers 85.1 FPS while remaining above the threshold. For 4K users, Medium is the recommended ceiling, and Low provides additional headroom at 91.1 FPS.

In short, the system is more than capable for the majority of playable configurations, and only the heaviest 4K presets fall short. The 68.3 FPS average on 4K Medium shows that even at the highest resolution, a playable experience is achievable without dropping to the lowest settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1834 out of 3723 tested combinations in the database for Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the upper half of all tested systems, though not among the top performers. The GPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, is at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26331. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 860M with a score of 26401 (0.3% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 with a score of 26421 (0.3% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary with a score of 26553 (0.8% higher), and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT with a score of 26011 (1.2% lower).

The CPU, an Intel Core i5-10400F, is at the 68th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 14185. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon 6756E with a score of 14163 (0.2% lower), the Intel Core 7 160UL with a score of 14232 (0.3% higher), the AMD EPYC 7552 with a score of 14115 (0.5% lower), and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C with a score of 14277 (0.6% higher).

The rank of 1834 out of 3723 means that a large number of tested combos deliver higher frame rates, but this setup still comfortably handles the game at most settings. The GPU's 72nd percentile position is the stronger part of the pairing, while the CPU's 68th percentile is slightly lower but still adequate. The recorded frame rates confirm that the combo is not held back by the processor in this title, and the ranking reflects a balanced mid-to-upper tier configuration.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which delivers an average of 136.1 FPS. This is the most demanding preset at this resolution and it remains far above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Ultra, which delivers an average of 85.1 FPS. This preset is the most demanding available at 1440p and still clears the threshold with a comfortable margin.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Medium, which delivers an average of 68.3 FPS. The High preset at 4K drops to 44.3 FPS, so Medium is the highest preset that stays at or above 60 FPS.

For users who want maximum visual quality, 1440p Ultra is the recommended choice because it combines the highest preset with a frame rate of 85.1 FPS. For 4K users, Medium is the ceiling, and Low at 91.1 FPS is available if extra headroom is desired. The data shows that this combo is best utilized at 1080p or 1440p with Ultra settings, while 4K users should stick to Medium or lower.
