Settings Recommendations

The measured frame rate data for Pc Building Simulator with this hardware combination strongly favors the Medium preset as the optimal choice for most users, particularly at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset achieves an average of 175 FPS, with a minimum of 149 FPS and a maximum of 201 FPS, which is a comfortable margin above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on modern monitors. In contrast, the High preset at 1080p delivers 124 FPS, and Ultra drops to 118 FPS, both of which are still very playable but offer diminishing returns in visual fidelity for a simulation game where the interface and menus are the primary focus. The Low preset at 1080p reaches 225 FPS, but this setting likely sacrifices too much detail for a genre that relies on reading text and managing components.

Moving up to 2560x1440, the Medium preset again stands out, delivering an average of 111 FPS with a minimum of 94 FPS and a maximum of 127 FPS. This is a strong result for 1440p, as it maintains smoothness on high-refresh displays. The High preset at 1440p yields 78 FPS, which is acceptable for 60 Hz monitors but not ideal for competitive play, and the Ultra preset drops to 74 FPS. The data shows that Medium at 1440p provides a better frame rate experience than High at the same resolution, with the trade-off being a moderate reduction in graphical settings that may not be noticeable in a game centered on system building rather than action scenes.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the only setting that balances playability with visual quality, reaching an average of 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 FPS and a maximum of 66 FPS. The High preset at 4K drops to 41 FPS, and Ultra falls to 39 FPS, both of which are below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider smooth. The Low preset at 4K achieves 82 FPS, but this undermines the purpose of 4K resolution, which is to maximize detail. Therefore, for 4K users, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it provides the best compromise between performance and image quality, while for 1080p and 1440p users, Medium offers the highest average frame rates with acceptable visual settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which indicates that the Radeon RX 9060 is the primary limiting component in this configuration, especially at higher pixel counts. At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the average FPS is 175, which drops to 111 at 2560x1440 (a 36.6% decrease) and further to 58 at 3840x2160 (a 66.9% decrease from 1080p). This steep decline is consistent with a GPU that is powerful enough for 1080p gaming but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K, where the pixel count quadruples.

The Low settings row provides further evidence of this GPU-bound behavior. At 1080p Low, the pair achieves 225 FPS, which falls to 156 FPS at 1440p (a 30.7% drop) and 82 FPS at 4K (a 63.6% drop from 1080p). These reductions are larger than what would be expected if the CPU were the bottleneck, as the Ryzen 5 2600’s 6-core, 12-thread design and 3.90 GHz boost clock would likely show less variation across resolutions if it were constraining performance. Instead, the consistent scaling with resolution points to the GPU’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus width, which deliver a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s, being the limiting factor at 4K.

The High and Ultra settings reinforce this conclusion. At 1080p High, the average is 124 FPS, dropping to 78 FPS at 1440p (a 37.1% decrease) and 41 FPS at 4K (a 66.9% decrease from 1080p). Similarly, Ultra at 1080p yields 118 FPS, falling to 74 FPS at 1440p (a 37.3% drop) and 39 FPS at 4K (a 66.9% drop). The uniformity of these percentage drops across all settings—roughly 37% from 1080p to 1440p and 67% from 1080p to 4K—indicates that the GPU’s rendering throughput is the dominant factor, not the CPU. The Ryzen 5 2600’s performance, with a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1248 and a Geekbench multicore score of 5648, appears sufficient to keep up with the GPU at all tested resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and AMD Radeon RX 9060 combination shows its strongest performance. With Low settings, the average frame rate is 225 FPS, which is the highest recorded across all configurations. Medium settings at 1080p produce an average of 175 FPS, with a minimum of 149 FPS and a maximum of 201 FPS, indicating a stable frame time distribution. High settings reduce the average to 124 FPS, while Ultra settings yield 118 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 1080p is minimal, only 6 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset adds little performance cost at this resolution but also provides limited benefit over High.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same settings hierarchy persists but with lower absolute numbers. Low settings achieve 156 FPS, which is a 30.7% drop from the 1080p result. Medium settings at 1440p deliver an average of 111 FPS, with a minimum of 94 FPS and a maximum of 127 FPS, demonstrating that even the minimum frame rate remains above the 90 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. High settings at 1440p produce 78 FPS, and Ultra settings reach 74 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 4 FPS at this resolution, which is even smaller than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU’s resources are becoming more constrained as pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops significantly across all settings. Low settings average 82 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 47.4% reduction from the 1440p Low result. Medium settings at 4K average 58 FPS, with a minimum of 49 FPS and a maximum of 66 FPS, which means the frame rate occasionally dips below 60 FPS during demanding scenes. High settings at 4K drop to 41 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 39 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 2 FPS, and both are below the 60 FPS target, making them unsuitable for smooth gameplay. The data shows that the 4K resolution is the dividing line for this hardware, with Medium being the highest playable setting and Low being the only option that consistently exceeds 60 FPS.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060, based on the Navi 44 chip with RDNA 4.0 architecture, plays the central role in determining frame rates in Pc Building Simulator, as evidenced by the resolution scaling patterns. The GPU features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming but becomes a limiting factor at 4K where texture data and frame buffer demands increase. The memory clock is rated at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), and the GPU has a base clock of 1700 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost clock of 2990 MHz, allowing for significant performance scaling under load.

In terms of raw compute, the RX 9060 delivers 21.43 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is competitive with its nearest rivals. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 16014, placing it in the 59th percentile of all GPUs. Its closest competitor is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which scores 16129, a 0.7% advantage over the RX 9060. The RX 9060 also outperforms the AMD Radeon R9 370X (15862, 1% lower), the AMD Radeon RX 7700 (15852, 1% lower), and the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 (15679, 2.1% lower). These margins are small, indicating that the RX 9060 sits in a tightly contested performance tier.

The measured FPS results align with this mid-range positioning. At 1080p, the GPU is able to push frame rates well above 100 FPS on most settings, but at 4K, the 8 GB memory capacity and 128-bit bus width become bottlenecks, as seen in the 39-82 FPS range. The GPU’s 64 ROPs and 112 TMUs contribute to its pixel rate of 191.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s, which are adequate for the game’s visual workload but not exceptional for high-resolution rendering. The RX 9060’s DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 API compatibility ensure it can handle modern game features, but Pc Building Simulator’s simulation-focused graphics do not appear to stress the GPU’s ray tracing or compute capabilities heavily.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600, a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 2000 series, provides the computational foundation for this pairing, and its role in Pc Building Simulator is to ensure the game logic, physics, and AI calculations run without stalling the GPU. The CPU has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 3.90 GHz, with a 65 W TDP, and it is built on the 12 nm process with the Zen architecture (specifically Zen+ Pinnacle Ridge). Its cache configuration includes 96 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache, which helps reduce memory latency for game-related tasks.

Benchmark results show the Ryzen 5 2600 performs admirably for its age. It achieves a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1248 and a single-core score of 157.3, while Geekbench results show 5648 multicore and 1154 single-core. The Passmark multithread score is 13160, and the single-thread score is 2239, placing the CPU in the 75th percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score is 21484, which is remarkably close to its rivals: the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V scores 21440 (0.2% lower), the Intel Core i9-11900H scores 21367 (0.5% lower), the Intel Xeon D-1746TER scores 21635 (0.7% higher), and the AMD EPYC 9454 scores 21223 (1.2% lower). This indicates that the Ryzen 5 2600 remains competitive in general processing tasks despite its older architecture.

In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the CPU’s performance is more than adequate. At 1080p Low, the frame rate reaches 225 FPS, which is likely near the engine’s maximum or the GPU’s limit, as the CPU would need to handle the game’s simulation logic at that speed. The fact that frame rates scale smoothly with resolution—225 FPS at 1080p Low, 156 FPS at 1440p Low, and 82 FPS at 4K Low—suggests the CPU is not bottlenecking, as a CPU bottleneck would show similar frame rates regardless of resolution. The Ryzen 5 2600’s dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 46.9 GB/s bandwidth is also sufficient, as the game does not appear to be memory-bandwidth sensitive. The CPU’s 12 threads are likely handling the game’s background tasks, such as component simulation and UI updates, without issue, allowing the Radeon RX 9060 to focus on rendering. Overall, the data indicates that the Ryzen 5 2600 is a capable partner for the RX 9060 in this title, with the GPU being the primary determinant of frame rates at higher resolutions and settings.
