Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that tasks players with assembling and repairing virtual machines, presents a unique benchmark scenario for the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination. The measured data reveals a system that is highly responsive to settings changes, with the GPU emerging as the dominant performance driver. This analysis explores the performance scaling across resolutions, the distinct roles of the processor and graphics card, and the optimal configurations for a smooth experience.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data shows a predictable and pronounced drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the "Low" settings preset, the average FPS falls from 206.5 at 1080p to 127.9 at 1440p, and then to 69.5 at 4K. This represents a staggering 66% reduction in average frame rate from the lowest to the highest resolution. This pattern strongly suggests that the system is heavily GPU-bound, as the workload on the graphics card increases dramatically with each pixel count jump.

The scaling between 1440p and 4K is particularly steep. For instance, the "High" preset yields 67.7 FPS at 1440p but only 33.5 FPS at 4K, a drop of over half. This indicates that the RTX 2060's capabilities are being pushed to their absolute limit at 4K resolution, regardless of the visual preset. The data implies that 4K gaming is only feasible with the "Low" preset, where the 69.5 FPS average is just barely within the bounds of playability, whereas 1440p offers a far more comfortable headroom for higher quality settings.

The frame rate deltas between presets also widen at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between "Low" (206.5 FPS) and "Ultra" (95.9 FPS) is a massive 110.6 FPS. This gap narrows to 64.5 FPS at 1440p and 35.1 FPS at 4K. This behavior is classic for a GPU-limited scenario; when the graphical load is lower, the GPU has more headroom to render frames quickly, and the impact of setting changes is amplified. As resolution climbs and the GPU becomes the bottleneck, the absolute frame rate ceiling is lowered, compressing the differences between presets.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the primary determinant of performance in Pc Building Simulator. Its 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s, is sufficient for the game's demands at 1080p and 1440p, but the data suggests it may be a limiting factor at 4K. The substantial frame rate drops when moving to 3840x2160, even on "Low" settings, point to the GPU's processing power and memory bandwidth being saturated at that resolution.

The GPU's clock speeds, with a base of 1365 MHz and a boost of 1680 MHz, contribute to its overall performance. Its benchmark scores, such as the Passmark G3D score of 14111 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1242, place it in the 58th percentile of all GPUs. This is a mid-range standing, and the measured FPS in this simulation game aligns with that positioning. The RTX 2060's nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score are the AMD Radeon RX 7600S (0.5% faster) and the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 (1.7% slower), providing a reference point for its raw compute capability.

The data shows that the GPU is the component that dictates the playability threshold. For instance, achieving a smooth 60+ FPS average at 1440p requires the "High" preset (67.7 FPS) or lower. Pushing to "Ultra" at 1440p yields 63.4 FPS, which is still acceptable, but the drop to 33.5 FPS at 4K "High" is a clear indication that the card is overextended. The GPU's role is, therefore, to provide a solid 1080p and 1440p experience, while 4K remains a challenge best suited for the lowest settings.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, the combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 ranks 1426th out of 1769 tested combos for Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the bottom 20% of all system configurations. This rank is a stark indicator that, while this pairing is competent for many titles, it is not a top-tier performer in this specific simulation game, likely due to the high graphical demands at higher resolutions.

The low ranking is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows the system struggling to maintain high frame rates at 4K. The combo's performance is a product of its components. The CPU, while having a strong multi-threaded score, is not the bottleneck here; instead, the GPU's mid-range standing (58th percentile) holds the system back in a game that appears to be graphically intensive. This rank of 1426 out of 1769 suggests that a significant number of other hardware combinations, likely with more powerful GPUs, can achieve higher frame rates.

This ranking also serves as a cautionary note. A user building a system with these parts for Pc Building Simulator should have modest expectations for 4K performance. The system is better suited for high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming or a solid 1440p experience, where its rank within the database would likely be more favorable, even if the aggregate score is low.

Settings Recommendations

For an optimal balance of visual quality and performance, the data points toward 2560x1440 as the sweet spot for this hardware. At this resolution, the "High" preset delivers an average of 67.7 FPS, which is a solid playable experience. The "Ultra" preset is also viable at 63.4 FPS, offering the best visual fidelity for a cost of just 4.3 FPS compared to "High." This makes 1440p "High" or "Ultra" the recommended configuration for a quality experience.

At 1920x1080, the system has more than enough power for high refresh rate gaming. The "High" preset (104.3 FPS) and "Medium" preset (144.4 FPS) are both excellent choices. The "Ultra" preset at 95.9 FPS is also perfectly playable. For users with a 1080p 144Hz monitor, the "Medium" or "High" presets are ideal. The "Low" preset at 1080p (206.5 FPS) is unnecessary for most users and would only be useful for competitive play or benchmarking.

Playing at 3840x2160 is possible but requires significant sacrifices. The "Low" preset at 69.5 FPS is the only setting that provides a smooth experience. Any higher preset at 4K results in frame rates below 48.2 FPS, which would likely feel stuttery and unresponsive. It is recommended to avoid 4K with this hardware unless the user is willing to play on the "Low" preset, as the performance cost of higher settings at this resolution is too high.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 2060 and Ryzen 5 4600G combination delivers a wide range of performance. The "Low" preset is exceptionally fast, with an average of 206.5 FPS. The "Medium" preset is still very high at 144.4 FPS, while "High" drops to 104.3 FPS. The most demanding "Ultra" preset still manages an average of 95.9 FPS, making 1080p a very comfortable resolution for this setup across all settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates are cut significantly but remain playable. The "Low" preset averages 127.9 FPS. "Medium" drops to 91.3 FPS, and "High" falls to 67.7 FPS. The "Ultra" preset is the lowest at this resolution, with an average of 63.4 FPS. This shows a clear tiering where the "High" and "Ultra" presets are still capable of providing a good experience, but the margin for error is smaller than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations are starkly exposed. The "Low" preset is the only one that breaks the 60 FPS barrier, with an average of 69.5 FPS. The "Medium" preset falls to 48.2 FPS, while "High" and "Ultra" are nearly identical at 33.5 FPS and 34.4 FPS, respectively. This data confirms that 4K is only a viable option when all graphical settings are turned down to their minimum. The performance cliff between the "Low" and "Medium" presets is a clear indicator of the GPU's memory and processing limits at this resolution.
