Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers a remarkably fluid experience in Pc Building Simulator, with the data showing that the most demanding settings still produce playable frame rates at 4K. The measured results indicate that High settings at 1440p offer the best compromise between visual fidelity and performance, hitting 85.7 FPS, while the 1080p High preset reaches 131.8 FPS, both comfortably above the threshold for smooth simulation gameplay.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data reveals a clear hierarchy across presets, with Low settings producing the highest frame rates at every resolution. At 1080p, Low achieves 264.9 FPS, Medium follows at 186.8 FPS, and High drops to 131.8 FPS, while Ultra trails at 125.8 FPS. The pattern repeats at 1440p, where Low hits 165.7 FPS, Medium reaches 117.9 FPS, High manages 85.7 FPS, and Ultra falls to 82.9 FPS. At 4K, the gap narrows significantly, with Low producing 85.5 FPS, Medium 61.9 FPS, High 43.1 FPS, and Ultra 42.7 FPS.

The optimal experience, based on the measured data, is the High preset at 1440p. It delivers 85.7 FPS, which is more than sufficient for a simulation title where precision matters more than raw speed, while providing noticeably better visual quality than Medium at 117.9 FPS. For users with 1080p displays, the High preset at 131.8 FPS is equally compelling, offering a substantial improvement over Medium's 186.8 FPS without sacrificing the smoothness that makes the simulation feel responsive. The Ultra preset at 1440p provides only a marginal gain over High, 82.9 versus 85.7 FPS, making it difficult to justify the additional visual load given the minimal performance difference.

GPU Role

The RTX 4060's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, proves adequate for Pc Building Simulator's demands. The GPU's base clock of 1830 MHz and boost clock of 2460 MHz, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 3072 shading units, drive the frame rates measured across all settings. The card's 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power and 236.2 GTexel/s texture rate are more than sufficient for this simulation, as evidenced by the 19545 Passmark G3D score and the 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs.

The GPU's performance relative to its nearest rivals shows a tight grouping. The RTX 4060 sits just 0.6% behind the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (23321 avg score) and 0.7% behind the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (23338 avg score), while leading the Intel Arc B580 by 0.7% (23021 avg score) and the AMD Radeon 760M by 0.8% (22999 avg score). These margins are negligible in real-world terms, but the data suggests the RTX 4060 is positioned competitively within its class. The GPU's 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores provide additional capabilities, though Pc Building Simulator's workload appears primarily rasterization-focused, given the consistent frame rates across presets.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5500's six cores and twelve threads, operating at a 3.60 GHz base clock and 4.20 GHz boost clock, deliver ample processing power for this simulation. The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth ensure that the system's memory subsystem keeps pace with the GPU. The CPU's Passmark multithread score of 19330 and single-thread score of 3058 indicate balanced performance, while the 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs shows it is a capable mid-range processor.

The CPU's benchmark results across various tests reveal its strengths. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16429 and single-core score of 2319 demonstrate solid multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The 3DMark scores, ranging from 836 for single-thread to 5411 for max threads, show good scaling with thread count. The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12500 (20897 avg score, 0.1% ahead), AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE (20900 avg score, 0.1% ahead), AMD EPYC 7J13 (20845 avg score, 0.1% behind), and Intel Core i5-12600T (20917 avg score, 0.2% ahead).

The data indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck in Pc Building Simulator. The frame rates scale consistently with resolution and settings, which typically points to GPU-bound workloads. The CPU's ample multi-threading capabilities, evidenced by the 19330 Passmark multithread score, ensure that the simulation's logic and system management tasks run smoothly without impinging on frame delivery.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Ryzen 5 5500 and RTX 4060 ranks 1019 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the benchmark database. The ranking reflects the balanced nature of this pairing, where neither component significantly overpowers the other, resulting in a system that performs consistently across all tested resolutions and settings.

The combo's position at the 57.6% mark of all tested configurations suggests that while it is not at the high-end, it delivers dependable performance for the majority of gaming scenarios. The data shows that this pairing excels at 1080p and 1440p, with the 4K results being the only area where the system shows its limits. The rank of 1019 out of 1769 indicates that there are many higher-performing combinations, but also a substantial number that fall below this pairing's capabilities. For a simulation game that does not demand extreme frame rates, this ranking is more than adequate.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a significant GPU-bound workload. At High settings, the system delivers 131.8 FPS at 1080p, drops to 85.7 FPS at 1440p, and falls to 43.1 FPS at 4K. This represents a 67.3% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The Low preset shows a similar pattern, with 264.9 FPS at 1080p, 165.7 FPS at 1440p, and 85.5 FPS at 4K, a 67.7% decrease. Medium settings follow with 186.8 FPS at 1080p, 117.9 FPS at 1440p, and 61.9 FPS at 4K, a 66.9% drop. Ultra settings produce 125.8 FPS at 1080p, 82.9 FPS at 1440p, and 42.7 FPS at 4K, a 66.1% reduction.

The consistent performance degradation across all presets indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor when resolution increases. The proportional drops, ranging from 66.1% to 67.7%, suggest a uniform scaling pattern that is typical of GPU-bound scenarios. The CPU's performance, with its 79th percentile ranking and strong multi-threaded scores, remains sufficient even at 1080p Low where the frame rate reaches 264.9 FPS, demonstrating that the processor is not holding back the system. The data clearly shows that users seeking higher frame rates at 4K would need a more powerful GPU, while the current pairing is well-optimized for 1080p and 1440p gaming.
