# Pc Building Simulator: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 + AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT

This combination of a 6-core, 12-thread AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (Zen 2, Matisse architecture) and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT (RDNA 2.0, Navi 22 chip) sits at rank 891 out of 1769 tested combos for Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the middle of the database's performance distribution. The pairing is a balanced 1080p and 1440p machine, with the data showing a clear GPU-bound pattern at higher resolutions, while the CPU's 76th percentile standing among all processors (average benchmark score 18129) ensures it is rarely the bottleneck in this simulation title. The measured FPS numbers reveal a system that can push past 260 FPS at 1080p Low, yet drops to 43.7 FPS at 4K Ultra, demonstrating a wide performance envelope that depends heavily on settings and resolution choices.

How This Combo Ranks

The rank of 891 out of 1769 combos means this pairing sits just above the median, which is a notable position for a mid-range CPU from 2019 paired with a GPU from 2022. The Ryzen 5 3600's average benchmark score of 18129 places it at the 76th percentile of all CPUs, with its nearest rival being the Intel Core i5-11400 at 18150 (deltaPct -0.1%), meaning the two are virtually identical in overall processing power. Interestingly, the data also shows the Ryzen 5 7535HS at 18101 (deltaPct 0.2%) and the older AMD Ryzen 5 1600 at 18158 (deltaPct -0.2%), which suggests that within this performance bracket, generational improvements have been marginal for multi-threaded workloads typical of simulation games.

On the GPU side, the RX 6750 XT's average benchmark score of 35327 puts it at the 79th percentile of all GPUs, with the AMD Radeon RX 5600M as the closest rival at 35264 (deltaPct 0.2%). The fact that a mobile GPU from a different era scores nearly identically to this desktop card highlights how the RX 6750 XT's performance class has been matched by more power-efficient designs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, a higher-tier desktop card, scores 35787 (deltaPct -1.3%), meaning the RX 6750 XT is only 1.3% behind it in aggregate benchmarks, yet the measured FPS in this game will tell a more nuanced story about real-world performance.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6750 XT comes equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for a card in this class. Its clock speeds are aggressive: a base clock of 2150 MHz, a game clock of 2495 MHz, and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, with memory running at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). These specifications translate to 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 166.4 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 416.0 GTexel/s texture rate, making the card capable of handling high-resolution textures and effects in Pc Building Simulator's simulation environment.

The GPU's 40 ray tracing cores and support for DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 indicate it is prepared for modern rendering techniques, though the game's measured FPS suggests that traditional rasterization performance is what drives the results. The 250 W TDP and requirement for a 600 W suggested PSU mean this is a power-hungry component, but the data shows it delivers consistent frame rates across all tested resolutions. The GPU's 79th percentile ranking among all GPUs, combined with its benchmark scores (Passmark G3D of 20700, Geekbench Vulkan of 109310), positions it as a solid performer that excels when paired with a capable CPU like the Ryzen 5 3600.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop is telling. At 1080p High, the combo achieves 142.1 FPS, which drops to 89.6 FPS at 1440p High (a 37% reduction) and further to 48.9 FPS at 4K High (a 66% reduction from 1080p). This scaling indicates that the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU has sufficient headroom to maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions where the workload is less demanding on the graphics processor.

The Low settings preset shows even more dramatic scaling: 260.1 FPS at 1080p drops to 178.2 FPS at 1440p (a 31% reduction) and 94.5 FPS at 4K (a 64% reduction from 1080p). This pattern suggests that even at the lowest graphical settings, the RX 6750 XT's fill rate and memory bandwidth become constraints as pixel count increases. The difference between 1080p and 1440p is consistently around 30-37% across settings, while the jump to 4K adds another 30% reduction, which aligns with the pixel count increase from 2.1 million to 8.3 million, indicating a GPU-bound scenario at all resolutions above 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers a wide range of performance depending on settings. Low settings produce 260.1 FPS average, Medium drops to 200.7 FPS, High achieves 142.1 FPS, and Ultra settles at 135.4 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is only 6.7 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns for the highest preset at this resolution, while the jump from Low to Medium is 59.4 FPS, indicating that the Low preset leaves significant GPU headroom unused.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers show a similar pattern but with lower absolute values: Low hits 178.2 FPS, Medium reaches 126.4 FPS, High achieves 89.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 87.9 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is just 1.7 FPS, making the Ultra preset nearly indistinguishable from High in terms of frame rate, which is a key insight for settings optimization. At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more constrained: Low yields 94.5 FPS, Medium produces 67.6 FPS, High manages 48.9 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 43.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that dips below 45 FPS, which may be playable but not ideal for a smooth experience.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data suggests that the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p, High produces 142.1 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and only 6.7 FPS below Ultra, making the extra visual fidelity of Ultra not worth the performance cost. At 1440p, High achieves 89.6 FPS, which is excellent for a 1440p monitor, and the difference from Ultra (87.9 FPS) is negligible at just 1.7 FPS, so choosing High over Ultra saves GPU resources without a meaningful frame rate penalty.

For 4K, the High preset at 48.9 FPS is borderline, but dropping to Medium at 67.6 FPS provides a much smoother experience. The data indicates that Medium at 4K is the sweet spot for this combo, offering a 38% improvement over High while still maintaining acceptable visual quality. Conversely, the Low preset at any resolution produces frame rates that exceed what most displays can show (260.1 FPS at 1080p, 178.2 FPS at 1440p, 94.5 FPS at 4K), suggesting that Low is only useful for competitive play or for users with high-refresh-rate monitors who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 features 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC with 3,800 million transistors on a 74 mm² die. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 and 512 KB of L2 per core, plus 32 MB of shared L3 cache, which provides ample data for simulation workloads that often rely on repeated access to the same game state information. The CPU's memory support for DDR4 in dual-channel configuration yields 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is modest by modern standards but sufficient for this game's requirements.

Benchmark scores underscore the CPU's balanced performance: Cinebench R23 multicore hits 15045 points, while single-core reaches 2124 points, and the 3DMark 16-thread test scores 4605. The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 76 indicates it outperforms three-quarters of all processors tested, and its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-11400, shows a deltaPct of -0.1%, meaning they are statistically tied. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is to manage the simulation logic, and the measured FPS at 1080p Low (260.1 FPS) suggests that the Ryzen 5 3600 has enough single-thread performance to feed the GPU at high frame rates, though the drop to 142.1 FPS at 1080p High indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor once graphical effects are enabled.
