Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator presents a highly scalable workload for the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 pairing. The measured data shows that the Ultra preset offers diminishing returns over High, while the Medium preset provides the most balanced experience across all tested resolutions, delivering frame rates that are both smooth and visually robust without the performance cost of the highest settings.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results clearly indicate that the Ultra preset is not the optimal choice for this combination. At 1920x1080, Ultra yields an average of 128.2 FPS, which is only marginally higher than the 134.2 FPS achieved at High settings; the performance difference is negligible, yet the visual uplift from High to Ultra is typically minor in a simulation title focused on menus and workbenches. Similarly, at 2560x1440, Ultra drops to 78.6 FPS, while High maintains a comfortable 82.3 FPS. The most significant gap appears at 3840x2160, where Ultra and High are nearly identical at 44.9 FPS and 43.9 FPS, respectively, indicating that the Ultra preset is not utilizing additional resources effectively.

The Medium preset emerges as the clear sweet spot. At 1080p, it delivers 190 FPS, a substantial 41.6% improvement over Ultra’s 128.2 FPS, while still offering enhanced visual fidelity compared to Low. At 1440p, Medium provides 117.8 FPS, which is more than sufficient for high-refresh-rate displays and is 49.9% faster than Ultra. Even at 4K, Medium achieves 61.7 FPS, which is playable, whereas Ultra struggles at 44.9 FPS. For users prioritizing a high frame rate with good visual quality, Medium is the recommended preset, as it offers the best balance of performance and fidelity without the steep drop-off seen at Ultra.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the primary driver of frame rates in this configuration, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the texture loads in Pc Building Simulator. The card’s boost clock of 2460 MHz and base clock of 1830 MHz allow it to maintain high throughput in this simulation, as evidenced by the significant FPS jumps when moving from Low to Medium settings. For instance, at 1080p, the RTX 4060 pushes from 223.7 FPS on Low to 190 FPS on Medium, showing that the GPU has ample headroom.

The data suggests that the RTX 4060 is not the limiting factor until 4K resolution is introduced. At 3840x2160 with High settings, the average FPS falls to 43.9, which is a stark contrast to the 82.3 FPS at 1440p. This indicates that the GPU’s 8 GB memory capacity and 128-bit bus become constrained at 4K, as the pixel throughput demands exceed the card’s capabilities. The RTX 4060’s PassMark G3D score of 19545 places it in the 66th percentile, and its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, scores 23321, a delta of -0.6%, confirming that the GPU is competitive but not top-tier for 4K gaming. For this game, the RTX 4060 is best suited for 1080p and 1440p, where it delivers excellent performance.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear trend of GPU-bound behavior at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 134.2 at 1080p to 82.3 at 1440p, a reduction of 38.7%, and then further to 43.9 at 4K, a cumulative drop of 67.3% from 1080p. This steep decline is characteristic of a workload where the GPU’s pixel processing capabilities are increasingly taxed, while the CPU remains less involved. The RTX 4060’s 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is adequate for 1440p but insufficient for maintaining high frame rates at 4K in this title.

At Low settings, the scaling is more dramatic, with FPS dropping from 223.7 at 1080p to 169.1 at 1440p and 85.6 at 4K. This suggests that even with minimal graphical load, the GPU is still the primary bottleneck at 4K, as the CPU’s role in this simulation is relatively static. The Ryzen 5 2600’s 6 cores and 12 threads are enough to keep up with the frame generation at lower resolutions, evidenced by the high FPS at 1080p, but the GPU’s limitations become apparent as resolution increases. The data shows that this combo is best utilized at 1080p or 1440p, where the RTX 4060 can fully stretch its legs, while 4K gaming should be reserved for less demanding presets like Medium.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Pc Building Simulator, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 holds the rank of 1021 out of 1769 combos. This places it in the lower-middle tier of all tested systems, indicating that while it is capable of running the game, it is not among the top performers. The rank is influenced by the GPU’s 66th percentile standing and the CPU’s 77th percentile, but the combination’s overall performance is constrained by the CPU’s older Zen architecture.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 19616 is close to its nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i5-1345U at 19691 (-0.4%) and the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U at 19508 (0.6%). This shows that the Ryzen 5 2600 is still competitive in raw compute, but its single-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1579, may limit frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios. However, in Pc Building Simulator, the data indicates that the GPU is the primary determinant of FPS, especially at higher resolutions, so the combo’s rank is more reflective of the RTX 4060’s capabilities than the CPU’s.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides a solid foundation for this simulation. Its base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 3.90 GHz, combined with a 16 MB shared L3 cache, ensure that the CPU can handle the game’s logic and physics calculations without becoming a bottleneck at lower resolutions. The CPU’s PassMark multithread score of 13160 and Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 4698 demonstrate its capability in multi-threaded workloads, which is relevant for a simulation game that may utilize multiple cores for system emulation.

However, the CPU’s single-threaded performance is less impressive, with a PassMark single-thread score of 2239 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1579. This could theoretically limit performance in scenarios that are heavily dependent on single-core speed, but the measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 223.7 FPS, indicating that the CPU is not a limiting factor in this game. The data reveals that as resolution increases, the FPS drops consistently, which points to the GPU as the primary constraint. The Ryzen 5 2600’s 12 nm process node and 65 W TDP make it an efficient, if older, choice, and its release date of 2018 with a launch MSRP of $199 positions it as a value-oriented processor that still holds its own in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of this combo’s performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional frame rates: Low averages 223.7 FPS, Medium averages 190 FPS, High averages 134.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 128.2 FPS. This shows a clear scaling pattern where the GPU has ample headroom, and even the most demanding preset remains well above the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected decline. Low settings produce 169.1 FPS, Medium produces 117.8 FPS, High produces 82.3 FPS, and Ultra produces 78.6 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is significant, with High settings losing 51.9 FPS, but the system still delivers smooth gameplay at all presets. At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to struggle: Low averages 85.6 FPS, Medium averages 61.7 FPS, High averages 43.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 44.9 FPS. This final resolution tier exposes the RTX 4060’s limitations, as only Low and Medium settings maintain playable frame rates. The data confirms that this combo is best experienced at 1080p or 1440p, where it excels, while 4K requires a compromise on visual fidelity to achieve acceptable performance.
