CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G brings six cores and twelve threads to the table, running at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosting up to 4.20 GHz. This Zen 2 architecture chip, built on TSMC's 7 nm process, carries a 65 W TDP and fits the AMD Socket AM4 platform. The processor's cache layout includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache, which for a simulation title like Pc Building Simulator provides ample headroom for managing multiple system components and their interactions.

Benchmark results for the 4600G show a processor that sits in the 71st percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE at a 0.1% higher score, the Intel Core 7 150U at 0.6% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE at 0.6% lower — all within a tight 1.4% band. This clustering suggests the 4600G delivers performance squarely in the mid-range, neither dominating nor lagging its immediate competition.

Looking at synthetic tests, the 4600G achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593 and a single-core score of 1919. The Geekbench multicore result stands at 6637 with a single-core score of 1460. These numbers indicate a processor with balanced multi-threaded and single-threaded capabilities. In Pc Building Simulator, where the simulation logic involves tracking numerous hardware parameters and their effects on system performance, the 12 threads allow for efficient parallel processing of these game mechanics without creating a bottleneck.

The relationship between CPU capability and game performance becomes clearer when examining the measured FPS across different settings. At 1080p Low, the system hits 247 FPS average, which is far beyond what any display would need, yet at 1080p Ultra it drops to 118 FPS. This 129 FPS swing from Low to Ultra at the same resolution indicates that while the CPU can handle the simulation workload easily, the graphics settings — and therefore the GPU — are what limit performance at higher presets. The 4600G's Passmark multithread score of 15992 and single-thread score of 2653 reinforce that it has enough computational muscle for this game's simulation demands.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, with the limiting component shifting based on settings. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 247 at 1080p to 156 at 1440p, then down to 82 at 4K. This represents a 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 47% further drop from 1440p to 4K. Such dramatic scaling at Low settings points to the GPU becoming the primary constraint, as the CPU easily maintains high frame rates when graphics load is minimal.

At Medium settings, the scaling shows 175 FPS at 1080p, 111 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops here are 37% and 48% respectively, nearly identical to the Low setting pattern. This consistency suggests that even as the game's visual complexity increases with Medium preset, the GPU remains the bottleneck at higher resolutions. The min and max FPS at Medium settings — 149 to 201 at 1080p, 94 to 127 at 1440p, and 49 to 66 at 4K — show that frame pacing holds up reasonably well even as average rates decline.

High settings follow a similar trajectory: 124 FPS at 1080p, 78 FPS at 1440p, and 41 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 37%, but from 1440p to 4K it steepens to 47%. Ultra settings produce 118 FPS at 1080p, 74 FPS at 1440p, and 39 FPS at 4K, with corresponding drops of 37% and 47%. The fact that both High and Ultra show the same proportional scaling at each resolution step indicates the GPU's rendering capabilities are the dominant factor, with the 4600G's CPU performance never becoming a limiting constraint.

The data implies that this system is GPU-bound in Pc Building Simulator across all tested settings. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see frame rates plateau at higher resolutions as the GPU's workload increases. Instead, the consistent percentage drops suggest the RX 9060's 8 GB memory buffer and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient to maintain performance as pixel count rises, particularly at 4K where even Low settings only manage 82 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and AMD Radeon RX 9060 achieves a rank of 1710 out of 3002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the setup in the 57th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 43% of configurations tested faster. While this rank might seem modest, it must be considered in context: the database includes high-end processors and graphics cards that far exceed the specifications of this mid-range pairing.

Given that the CPU sits in the 71st percentile and the GPU in the 59th percentile individually, the combo rank of 1710 suggests that the overall system performance is slightly below what each component's individual percentile might imply. This discrepancy likely stems from the GPU's 8 GB memory capacity, which at 4K resolution with Ultra settings produces only 39 FPS. The game's simulation nature means occasional CPU spikes could occur, but the data shows the GPU is the consistent limiting factor.

The rank positioning indicates that this combo is competitive for 1080p and 1440p gaming but falls behind in 4K scenarios. Compared to the entire 3002-combo pool, being in the lower-middle range means users will experience solid performance at mainstream resolutions but should not expect high-refresh-rate 4K gaming. The combination's strength lies in its balance — neither component drastically overpowers the other, which keeps the system well-rounded for a simulation game that does not demand extreme hardware.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with the Navi 44 chip, manufactured on TSMC's 4 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 1700 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost clock of 2990 MHz. The memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units provide the raw compute capability, with a pixel rate of 191.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s.

Performance benchmarks place the RX 9060 in the 59th percentile of all GPUs with an average score of 16014. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti at 0.7% higher, the AMD Radeon R9 370X at 1% lower, and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 at 1% lower. This tight grouping around the 16000 score mark indicates the RX 9060 delivers performance comparable to mid-range GPUs from previous generations, with the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3322 and Passmark G3D score of 17631 confirming its mid-range positioning.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity becomes a critical factor in Pc Building Simulator. At 1080p, the frame rates are high enough — 247 FPS at Low, 175 FPS at Medium, 124 FPS at High, and 118 FPS at Ultra — that the memory buffer is sufficient. Moving to 1440p drops these to 156, 111, 78, and 74 FPS respectively, still playable. However, at 4K, the average FPS falls to 82 at Low, 58 at Medium, 41 at High, and 39 at Ultra. This steep decline at 4K, particularly from Low to Medium where the drop is from 82 to 58 FPS, suggests the 8 GB frame buffer is being exhausted, forcing the GPU to manage memory more inefficiently.

The GPU's clock behavior also plays a role. With a boost clock of 2990 MHz, the RX 9060 has substantial headroom for short bursts of performance, but sustained loads at 4K Ultra will likely cause the clocks to settle closer to the game clock of 2400 MHz. The power delivery is rated for 132 W TDP with a single 8-pin connector and a suggested 300 W PSU, indicating this is not a power-hungry card, which aligns with its mid-range performance profile.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest performance. Low settings produce an average of 247 FPS, Medium settings achieve 175 FPS with a minimum of 149 and maximum of 201, High settings reach 124 FPS, and Ultra settings maintain 118 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 51 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 6 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns at the highest preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop substantially. Low settings yield 156 FPS, Medium settings produce 111 FPS with a range of 94 to 127, High settings achieve 78 FPS, and Ultra settings deliver 74 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is only 4 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset's additional visual features have minimal performance cost at 1440p. The Medium setting's min FPS of 94 ensures smooth gameplay, though the 33 FPS spread between min and max shows some frame time variance.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes the most constrained. Low settings average 82 FPS, Medium settings drop to 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 and maximum of 66, High settings fall to 41 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 39 FPS. The transition from Low to Medium at 4K costs 24 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs only 2 FPS. The Medium preset's min FPS of 49 means some scenes will dip below the 60 FPS threshold, potentially causing noticeable stutter in a simulation game where smooth camera movement matters.

The complete data set shows that 1080p is where this combo shines, with all presets exceeding 118 FPS. At 1440p, only Low and Medium presets exceed 100 FPS, with High and Ultra still playable above 74 FPS. At 4K, only Low settings manage above 80 FPS, and Ultra sits at 39 FPS, which is below the commonly accepted 60 FPS standard for smooth gameplay.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For 1080p gaming, the Ultra preset at 118 FPS offers the best visual experience without sacrificing playability, as the 6 FPS difference from High is negligible while providing maximum graphical fidelity. If higher frame rates are preferred for competitive play, the Medium preset at 175 FPS provides a 57 FPS improvement over Ultra, though the visual downgrade may not be worth it for a simulation game that emphasizes detail.

At 1440p, the Medium preset delivers 111 FPS with a minimum of 94, which balances visual quality and smoothness effectively. The High preset at 78 FPS is still playable, but the 33 FPS drop from Medium may result in less fluid camera movement. The Ultra preset at 74 FPS is only marginally slower than High and could be chosen if visual quality is paramount, but the Medium preset's higher min FPS of 94 ensures more consistent frame delivery.

For 4K, the Low preset at 82 FPS is the only setting that maintains a comfortable frame rate above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 FPS may cause noticeable stuttering in demanding scenes, while High at 41 FPS and Ultra at 39 FPS fall below the threshold for smooth gameplay. If 4K is the target resolution, the Low preset is the recommended choice, as it provides a playable experience while the higher presets do not achieve acceptable performance.

Across all resolutions, the data suggests that the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and visual quality for this GPU-CPU combination. At 1080p Medium delivers 175 FPS, at 1440p Medium reaches 111 FPS, and at 4K Medium hits 58 FPS — the latter being the only non-Low preset that approaches playable frame rates at 4K. For users prioritizing maximum visual fidelity at 1080p or 1440p, Ultra is viable, but for 4K, staying at Low is necessary to avoid sub-60 FPS performance.
