Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title from 2019, shows a clear performance hierarchy when paired with the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and AMD Radeon RX 7600. The measured data reveals a system that is heavily influenced by resolution and settings, with the GPU taking on an increasingly dominant role as pixel count rises. The benchmarks provide a detailed look at how this specific combination handles the game's demands across three common resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The most telling data point is the dramatic FPS drop when moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 113.4 FPS at 1080p to 73.8 FPS at 1440p, and then plummets to 36.3 FPS at 4K. This represents a 68% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, a scaling curve that strongly indicates the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The RX 7600's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s, appears sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but is clearly strained by the 3840x2160 pixel count.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings presets. At Low settings, the system achieves 229.5 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 142.3 FPS at 1440p and 75.5 FPS at 4K. The fact that even at Low settings the 4K result is only 32.9% of the 1080p result suggests that the rendering load at 4K overwhelms the GPU regardless of visual complexity. This is a classic sign of a pixel-bound scenario, where the sheer number of pixels, rather than the shader work, dictates performance.

Medium settings follow a similar trajectory: 164 FPS at 1080p, 102.8 FPS at 1440p, and 51.2 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings show the most severe drop, from 106.2 FPS at 1080p down to 39.2 FPS at 4K. The data implies that for this game, the jump from 1440p to 4K is particularly punishing, with average FPS roughly halving in every settings tier. Gamers targeting 4K with this combo would need to accept Low settings to approach playability, and even then, the 75.5 FPS average is far from the 1080p experience.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its performance profile, as measured by synthetic benchmarks, shows a processor that is well-suited for simulation workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593 and single-core score of 1919 indicate a balanced processor capable of handling both multi-threaded simulation logic and single-threaded game engine tasks.

In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, but it still provides a solid foundation. The 1080p Low setting result of 229.5 FPS suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution, as the frame rate is high enough to indicate the GPU is still the limiting factor. The processor's 8 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for the game's simulation elements.

The CPU's benchmark scores place it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17489. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE with a delta of 0%, and the Intel Core i5-12450H with a delta of 0.1%, showing it performs on par with those processors. The data suggests that while the CPU is not the star of the show in this combo, it provides enough headroom that the GPU is the primary determinant of frame rates, especially as resolution increases.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is the clear driving force behind this system's gaming performance. With a boost clock of 2655 MHz and a game clock of 2250 MHz, it offers substantial compute power. Its 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 339.8 GTexel/s. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, while not massive by modern standards, is sufficient for this simulation title at most settings.

The GPU's performance metrics reinforce its role. The Passmark G3D score of 16634 and its 63rd percentile ranking among all GPUs show a mid-range card that is capable but not top-tier. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT with a delta of 0.6% and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile with a delta of -1.3%, indicate it sits in a competitive but tight performance band. The data strongly suggests that the GPU is the limiting component in this combo, particularly at 4K where even Low settings only yield 75.5 FPS.

The 1080p results are the most revealing for the GPU's capabilities. At 1080p Ultra, the system only manages 106.2 FPS, which is lower than the 1440p High result of 73.8 FPS by a significant margin. This indicates that the GPU is being pushed hard even at 1080p with high visual fidelity. The 8 GB VRAM may be a contributing factor, as the game's simulation elements and texture data could be straining against the memory limit at Ultra settings, preventing higher frame rates.

A: At 2560x1440, the Low preset achieves 142.3 FPS while Ultra drops to 69.4 FPS. This represents a 51.2% performance decrease when moving from Low to Ultra settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution. For 1920x1080, the High preset at 113.4 FPS is the best choice for a balance of visual quality and performance, though Ultra at 106.2 FPS is also perfectly playable and offers the best image fidelity. Medium at 164 FPS is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors, but the visual compromise may not be worth it given the strong High and Ultra results.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset with 102.8 FPS is the recommended starting point, as it provides a smooth experience while maintaining reasonable visual details. High at 73.8 FPS is acceptable for gamers who prioritize visuals over frame rate, but Ultra at 69.4 FPS is only marginally slower and may be preferred for the best graphics. Low at 142.3 FPS is unnecessary unless chasing maximum frame rates.

For 3840x2160, the situation is more constrained. Low settings at 75.5 FPS is the only preset that achieves a consistently playable frame rate. Medium at 51.2 FPS and High at 36.3 FPS are both too choppy for most gamers, and Ultra at 39.2 FPS is similarly problematic. The data suggests that 4K gaming is not a viable option for this combo beyond Low settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data for this combo is as follows:

At 1920x1080, the system achieves 229.5 FPS on Low, 164 FPS on Medium, 113.4 FPS on High, and 106.2 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 53.7% drop in performance, indicating that the higher settings have a significant impact on the GPU.

At 2560x1440, the results are 142.3 FPS on Low, 102.8 FPS on Medium, 73.8 FPS on High, and 69.4 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is 51.2%, similar to the 1080p scaling, suggesting the GPU is consistently taxed by the settings presets.

At 3840x2160, the results are 75.5 FPS on Low, 51.2 FPS on Medium, 36.3 FPS on High, and 39.2 FPS on Ultra. Interestingly, Ultra produces a slightly higher FPS than High, which could indicate a variance in the test or a specific optimization quirk in the game's rendering engine.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and AMD Radeon RX 7600 ranks 1187 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the lower-middle tier of all possible hardware configurations, which is consistent with the mid-range nature of both components. The ranking suggests that while this combo is fully capable of running the game well at 1080p and 1440p, there are many faster configurations available.

The combo's rank is influenced by the CPU and GPU's individual performance percentiles. The CPU is in the 75th percentile of all CPUs, which is a solid showing, while the GPU is in the 63rd percentile. The combination of a relatively strong CPU with a mid-range GPU results in a system that is often GPU-limited, as seen in the resolution scaling data. The rank of 1187 out of 1769 indicates that roughly 67% of tested combos perform better, which is a reasonable expectation for a mid-range pairing. The data shows this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming, where it can achieve high frame rates at most settings, and can handle 1440p with some compromises. It is not recommended for 4K gaming due to the significant FPS drops at that resolution.
