# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 5 4600G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a versatile experience in Pc Building Simulator, with measured frame rates ranging from 48.6 FPS at 4K Ultra to 266 FPS at 1080p Low. The data reveals a system that is clearly GPU-bound at higher resolutions but shows surprising CPU headroom at lower settings, making it a balanced pairing for this simulation title that rewards both component understanding and visual fidelity.

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G brings 6 cores and 12 threads to the table, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. This Zen 2 architecture chip, built on TSMC's 7 nm process, carries 8 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory over a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. In benchmark terms, the CPU achieves a 3DMark single-thread score of 726 and a max-threads score of 4889, while Cinebench R23 results show 1919 single-core and 13593 multi-core points.

For a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, the workload pattern is interesting. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 4863 versus the max-threads score of 4889 indicates that the processor's performance scales well with additional threads, but the game does not appear to stress all 12 threads simultaneously. The single-thread score of 726 relative to the 2-thread score of 1430 suggests that even modest multi-threading benefits apply. The CPU's 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it firmly in the mid-range tier, and its nearest rival Intel Core i3-13100F scores just 1% higher on average, confirming that the 4600G's processing power is competitive for this genre.

The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 266 FPS, which far exceeds what the RTX 3070 could deliver if the CPU were a bottleneck. This suggests that in Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are more than sufficient for the game's logic, component simulation, and UI rendering. The 65W TDP also indicates efficient operation, which matters in a game literally about building PCs where thermal management is part of the simulation aesthetic.

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

The measured FPS data across presets reveals a clear hierarchy. At 1080p, Ultra settings deliver 146.8 FPS, High delivers 150.3 FPS, Medium reaches 215.2 FPS, and Low peaks at 266 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is minimal—just 3.5 FPS—which suggests that Ultra is essentially a visual sidegrade from High at this resolution. At 1440p, the pattern shifts: High produces 93.1 FPS, Medium 133.4 FPS, Low 190.3 FPS, and Ultra 89 FPS. The High-to-Ultra delta here is 4.1 FPS, again marginal.

The most compelling recommendation emerges from the 4K data. At 3840x2160, High delivers 51.8 FPS, Medium 72 FPS, Low 101.7 FPS, and Ultra 48.6 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K dips below the commonly cited 60 FPS threshold, while High barely exceeds it. Medium, however, provides 72 FPS—a 39% improvement over Ultra—while presumably still offering respectable visual quality. Given that the game is a simulation about building and testing PCs, the measured data suggests that Medium at 4K offers the best balance of smoothness and fidelity, while at 1440p or 1080p, High or Ultra are both viable depending on whether the user prioritizes maximum frame rates or maximum detail.

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

The resolution scaling pattern in Pc Building Simulator is telling. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the average FPS drops from 150.3 to 93.1—a 38% reduction. Going from 1440p to 4K at High, the frame rate falls from 93.1 to 51.8, another 44% drop. At Low settings, the progression is 266 FPS at 1080p, 190.3 at 1440p, and 101.7 at 4K—a 29% and 47% decline respectively. These diminishing returns as resolution increases point directly to the GPU as the primary limiting factor.

The RTX 3070's memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory over a 256-bit bus are the key constraints here. At 4K, the pixel throughput demands—165.6 GPixel/s fill rate and 317.4 GTexel/s texture rate—become the bottleneck. The fact that the CPU can deliver 266 FPS at 1080p Low but the system only reaches 101.7 FPS at 4K Low confirms that the processor is not the constraint; the GPU's 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is being saturated by the higher resolution workloads. Interestingly, the FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p is proportionally larger than from 1440p to 4K at High settings, suggesting that the game's engine has a non-linear scaling curve that may reflect memory bandwidth saturation rather than pure compute limits.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA104 chip manufactured on Samsung's 8 nm process. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory operates at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus, yielding 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock runs at 1500 MHz with a boost clock of 1725 MHz, and it houses 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 46 RT cores, and 184 tensor cores.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. At 1080p, the RTX 3070's 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is sufficient to push frame rates from 146.8 (Ultra) to 266 (Low). The 165.6 GPixel/s pixel rate helps maintain high fill rates even at 4K, where the GPU still manages 101.7 FPS at Low settings. However, the jump from 1080p to 4K at Ultra—from 146.8 to 48.6 FPS—represents a 67% reduction, which aligns with the GPU being pushed to its limits. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is not likely the bottleneck here, as the game's simulation focus likely doesn't require massive texture loads, but the memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s does appear to be a limiting factor at 4K.

The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 22214 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3162 place it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD FirePro S7150, scores 0.6% higher, while the RX 6600 XT trails by 0.9%. These margins are tight, indicating that the RTX 3070 sits in a competitive performance tier for this title.

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

The complete measured FPS dataset provides a clear picture of performance across all nine resolution-settings combinations. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 266 FPS on Low, 215.2 FPS on Medium, 150.3 FPS on High, and 146.8 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p results show 190.3 FPS on Low, 133.4 FPS on Medium, 93.1 FPS on High, and 89 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the frame rates are 101.7 FPS on Low, 72 FPS on Medium, 51.8 FPS on High, and 48.6 FPS on Ultra.

These numbers reveal consistent patterns. The transition from Low to Medium costs roughly 19% performance at 1080p (266 to 215.2), 30% at 1440p (190.3 to 133.4), and 29% at 4K (101.7 to 72). Moving from Medium to High is more expensive: 30% at 1080p, 30% at 1440p, and 28% at 4K. The High-to-Ultra step is the least impactful, with only 2.3% loss at 1080p, 4.4% at 1440p, and 6.2% at 4K. This suggests that Ultra presets in Pc Building Simulator offer marginal visual improvements over High while exacting a modest performance cost, making High the more efficient choice when frame rate is paramount.
