Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title from 2019, presents a unique workload where the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combo delivers a performance profile that is notably more CPU-bound at lower resolutions and GPU-bound at 4K. The benchmark data shows this pairing ranks 1812th out of 3723 tested combos, placing it in the 51st percentile, which indicates a mid-pack standing that is defined by a capable but not top-tier CPU and a strong but not flagship GPU. The measured frame rates reveal that the RTX 5060 is the primary driver of high refresh rate performance, while the Ryzen 5 4600G becomes a limiting factor at 1080p, a dynamic that shifts entirely at 4K where the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and bandwidth are put under severe pressure.

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform, features 8 MB of shared L3 cache, and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593 and a single-core score of 1919, alongside a Geekbench multi-core score of 6637 and a single-core score of 1460. The data indicates a processor that is firmly in the mid-range segment, with a percentile rank of 71 against all CPUs, meaning it outperforms 71% of its peers.

In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is to manage the simulation's logical operations, and its performance is most evident at 1080p where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 267 FPS, which is the highest frame rate measured across all configurations. This high result suggests that at this setting, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to feed the RTX 5060, allowing the GPU to reach its full potential. However, when comparing to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 4600G shows a marginal performance delta. It is 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE in average benchmark score, and 0.6% ahead of the Intel Core 7 150U. Conversely, it trails the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE by 0.6% and the Intel Core i3-14100T by 0.8%. These tiny deltas mean that in CPU-bound scenarios, the 4600G is effectively tied with these alternatives, and the differences in frame rates would be negligible.

The CPU's impact becomes more apparent when examining the scaling from Low to Ultra settings at 1080p. At Low, the average FPS is 267, but at Ultra, it drops to 135 FPS. This 132 FPS reduction is a 49.4% decrease, which is a substantial drop that can be attributed to both increased CPU load from simulation logic and increased GPU load from rendering. The data suggests that at 1080p Ultra, the CPU is still managing to keep up, but the frame rate is more constrained than at Low. The 3DMark scores further illustrate the CPU's threading capabilities: it scores 4863 in the 16-thread test but 4889 in the max-thread test, indicating that scaling beyond 16 threads yields minimal gains, which is expected for a 12-thread part. The single-thread score of 726 in 3DMark is relatively low, but the game's engine appears to utilize multiple cores well enough to maintain playable frame rates. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU is not a weak link at 1080p, but it is also not a strong differentiator, as evidenced by its near-tie performance with its nearest rivals.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and features 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its core clocks are set at 2280 MHz base and 2497 MHz boost, and it has a TDP of 145 W. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 20891 in Passmark G3D and 3628 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, with a percentile rank of 72 against all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 26331 places it in close competition with its nearest rivals: it is 0.3% behind the AMD Radeon 860M and the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, and 0.8% behind the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary, while it is 1.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT.

For Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is to render the visual environment, and its performance is the dominant factor in determining frame rates at higher resolutions. The data shows that at 2560x1440 with High settings, the combo achieves 90 FPS, while at 3840x2160 with High settings, it drops to 47 FPS. This 4K result is the most demanding scenario, and it highlights the GPU's limitations. The 8 GB VRAM capacity and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1440p, but at 4K, the rendering load causes a significant drop. The GPU's compute performance, as measured by Passmark GPU Compute at 10899, is solid, but it is not sufficient to maintain high frame rates at the extreme resolution.

The RTX 5060's performance is consistent with its position in the market. At 1080p Low settings, it pushes 267 FPS, which is an excellent result for a simulation game. However, the scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop from 267 to 135 FPS, a 49.4% reduction. This is a typical pattern for a GPU that is powerful enough to be limited by other factors at lower settings but becomes the bottleneck as graphical demands increase. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 3628 indicates the GPU is capable of handling modern rendering techniques, but in a game like Pc Building Simulator, which is not visually intensive, the GPU's headroom is more than adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting component, as the CPU's load is less demanding, and the frame rate drops to levels that are below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The GPU's 72nd percentile rank confirms it is a mid-to-high performer, and its measured frame rates align with this standing.

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

The measured FPS data shows a clear trend of diminishing performance as resolution increases, which is the expected behavior when the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the average FPS is 142. Moving to 2560x1440 High, the FPS drops to 90, a 36.6% decrease. At 3840x2160 High, the FPS further drops to 47, an additional 47.8% decrease from the 1440p result. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU's workload does not scale with resolution in the same way.

The scaling from 1080p to 4K is even more pronounced at lower settings. At Low settings, the 1080p average is 267 FPS, but at 1440p it is 179 FPS, a 33.0% drop, and at 4K it is 94 FPS, a 47.5% drop from 1440p. This suggests that even at Low settings, where the GPU is doing less rendering work, the resolution increase still has a significant impact. The frame rate at 4K Low is 94 FPS, which is still playable, but it is less than half of the 1080p Low result. This demonstrates that the RTX 5060's 8 GB VRAM and memory bandwidth are not sufficient to maintain high frame rates at 4K, regardless of the graphical settings.

The resolution scaling also reveals the CPU's role. At 1080p, the CPU is more likely to be the bottleneck, as the GPU can render frames quickly. The gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings is 88 FPS, which is a significant difference. However, at 4K, the GPU is so heavily loaded that the CPU's performance becomes less relevant. The data shows that the frame rate drop from 1440p to 4K is larger than the drop from 1080p to 1440p, which is consistent with the GPU being the limiting component. The Ultra settings show a similar trend: 1080p Ultra averages 135 FPS, 1440p Ultra averages 85 FPS, and 4K Ultra averages 45 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest measured, at 45 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay. This confirms that for this combo, 4K is not a viable resolution for high-refresh-rate gaming, and the GPU is the primary constraint.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination ranks 1812th out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the middle of the pack, with a rank that is slightly below the median. The combo's performance is defined by the balance between the CPU and GPU, and the data suggests that the RTX 5060 is the stronger component, as its percentile rank of 72 is higher than the CPU's percentile rank of 71. However, the overall combo rank is lower than either component's individual percentile, which indicates that the pairing is not perfectly optimized.

The rank of 1812 out of 3723 means that this combo outperforms approximately 51% of all tested combinations. This is a solid result for a mid-range pairing, and it reflects the fact that the RTX 5060 is a capable GPU, while the Ryzen 5 4600G is a competent CPU. The combo is not in the top tier, as higher-end CPUs and GPUs would rank higher, but it is also not at the bottom. The rank suggests that this combo is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but it will struggle at 4K, as the measured FPS data confirms.

When comparing to other combos, the rank is a direct reflection of the average FPS across all settings and resolutions. The combo's performance is limited by the CPU's single-thread performance, which is relatively low, but the GPU's high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p help to boost the overall average. The rank also indicates that there are many combos that perform better, likely with more powerful CPUs or GPUs, but there are also many that perform worse. The 1812th rank is a mid-table finish, and it is consistent with the hardware's specifications and benchmark scores. The data does not show which specific combos are ranked above or below, but the overall position is clear.

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

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at the combo's performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. With Low settings, the average FPS is 267, which is the highest of any configuration. At Medium settings, the average FPS is 201, with a minimum of 171 and a maximum of 232. High settings produce an average of 142 FPS, and Ultra settings yield an average of 135 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop of 132 FPS, which is a 49.4% reduction. This indicates that the GPU is still able to maintain high frame rates even at Ultra settings, though the CPU's load is also increasing.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are lower but still playable. Low settings produce an average of 179 FPS, which is a 33.0% drop from 1080p Low. Medium settings yield an average of 127 FPS, with a minimum of 108 and a maximum of 146. High settings average 90 FPS, and Ultra settings average 85 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across all settings, with an average reduction of about 35%. This suggests that the GPU is becoming more of a bottleneck at this resolution, but the combo still delivers smooth gameplay at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop significantly. Low settings produce an average of 94 FPS, which is a 47.5% drop from 1440p Low. Medium settings yield an average of 66 FPS, with a minimum of 56 and a maximum of 76. High settings average 47 FPS, and Ultra settings average 45 FPS. The 4K results are the weakest, with the Ultra setting barely reaching 45 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is larger than the drop from 1080p to 1440p, which confirms that the GPU is the limiting component at this resolution. The data shows that for a smooth 60 FPS experience at 4K, the settings would need to be set to Low, which yields 94 FPS, but even that is a significant compromise.
