A: The data shows that at 2560x1440, the combo delivers an average of 232 FPS on Medium settings and 168 FPS on High, providing a smooth experience with ample headroom. At 3840x2160, the average drops to 124 FPS on Medium, which is still playable, but the 2560x1440 results offer a better balance of visual quality and frame rate.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 5500 compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 5 5500 has an average benchmark score of 19593, placing it nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430, which scores 19617 with a delta of -0.1%. It is also within 0.4% of the Intel Core i5-12500 (19668) and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core i7-10700F (19499).

Q: Is the RTX 5090's 32GB of VRAM utilized by this game?

A: While the game is a simulation and not graphically intensive, the RTX 5090's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory is present. The measured frame rates indicate that the game does not stress the memory capacity, as performance scales primarily with resolution and settings rather than showing signs of VRAM limitation.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1920x1080?

A: At 1920x1080, the average frame rate drops from 308 FPS on Low settings to 234 FPS on Ultra settings. This 74 FPS difference shows that the Ultra preset introduces a significant load, but both results are exceptionally high and well above the refresh rate of most monitors.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested configurations?

A: This specific CPU and GPU pairing ranks 291st out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the top 8% of all configurations, demonstrating that it is a high-performing setup for this game.

Q: What is the frame rate behavior at 3840x2160 on Medium settings?

A: At 4K with Medium settings, the combo achieves an average of 124 FPS, with a minimum of 106 FPS and a maximum of 143 FPS. The minimum frame rate indicates that the experience remains fluid even during demanding scenes.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data suggests that the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers an average of 271 FPS, which is only 37 FPS lower than Low but provides a substantial visual upgrade. The step to High at 1080p yields 238 FPS, a drop of 33 FPS from Medium, while Ultra produces 234 FPS, showing a diminishing return for the extra graphical load. At 2560x1440, the Medium preset is again the sweet spot, with an average of 232 FPS and a minimum of 198 FPS, ensuring consistent smoothness. The High preset at 1440p still manages 168 FPS, but the jump from Medium to High costs 64 FPS, which is more noticeable. For 3840x2160, Medium is the only setting that maintains an average above 100 FPS, hitting 124 FPS. Low at 4K reaches 176 FPS, but the visual compromise is significant, while High and Ultra drop to 88 FPS and 84 FPS respectively. Based on the data, Medium is the recommended preset for this combo, as it provides the highest frame rate that still leverages the graphical capabilities of the RTX 5090 without sacrificing playability.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the dominant component in this pairing, with a massive 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, offering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, and its benchmark scores reflect its high-end status, with a Passmark G3D score of 39650 and an average benchmark score of 79842. In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role varies by resolution and settings. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS of 308 indicates that the GPU is not fully utilized, as the simulation's logic likely limits performance. However, at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average drops to 84 FPS, showing the GPU is being pushed harder. The data reveals that the RTX 5090's performance is consistent with its high percentile ranking of 92 among all GPUs, but the game's low graphical demands mean that the GPU is often overkill. The 32 GB VRAM is never a limiting factor, as even at 4K Ultra, the frame rate is determined by the GPU's compute power rather than memory capacity. The GPU's substantial compute resources, including 21760 shading units and 176 ROPs, are more than sufficient for this title, and the measured results show that the RTX 5090 is the primary driver of frame rate differences between settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 ranks 291st out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 8% of all configurations. This rank is impressive given that the CPU is a mid-range part, while the GPU is a flagship model. The GPU's high percentile ranking of 92 and the CPU's percentile of 73 contribute to this strong overall position. The data indicates that the combo's performance is heavily influenced by the GPU, as the CPU's benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16429, are sufficient to keep up with the game's demands. Compared to other combos in the database, this pairing is in the upper echelon, but it is not at the very top, suggesting that some combinations with higher-end CPUs may achieve better results in CPU-bound scenarios. The rank of 291 out of 3723 also implies that there are 290 other combos that outperform this one, likely those with more powerful processors paired with the same or similar GPUs. However, for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, this rank demonstrates that the combo is well-suited for the title, providing high frame rates without being a bottleneck.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It has a 16 MB L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface, offering 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 16429 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2319 in single-core, with a Passmark single-thread score of 3058. These scores place it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, and its average benchmark score of 19593 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, with a 0.1% difference from the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 and a 0.4% difference from the Intel Core i5-12500. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is to handle the simulation logic, which is not heavily threaded. The measured frame rates show that at low resolutions and settings, the CPU can become a limiting factor. For instance, at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS is 308, which is likely near the CPU's maximum for this game. However, as resolution and settings increase, the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck, as evidenced by the frame rate scaling from 308 FPS at 1080p Low to 176 FPS at 4K Low. The CPU's 12 threads are more than adequate for this game, and the data shows no signs of a CPU bottleneck at higher graphical loads, as the frame rates scale consistently with GPU load. The 65W TDP and 7nm process node also indicate that the CPU runs efficiently, allowing the GPU to operate without thermal constraints.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four settings, providing a comprehensive view of performance. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are 308 FPS on Low, 271 FPS on Medium, 238 FPS on High, and 234 FPS on Ultra. The Medium setting at 1080p shows a minimum of 230 FPS and a maximum of 312 FPS, indicating stable performance. At 2560x1440, the averages are 264 FPS on Low, 232 FPS on Medium, 168 FPS on High, and 160 FPS on Ultra. The Medium setting at 1440p has a minimum of 198 FPS and a maximum of 267 FPS, showing a wider range but still maintaining high frame rates. At 3840x2160, the averages are 176 FPS on Low, 124 FPS on Medium, 88 FPS on High, and 84 FPS on Ultra. The Medium setting at 4K has a minimum of 106 FPS and a maximum of 143 FPS, which is the only 4K setting with a reported minimum above 100 FPS. The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, the frame rate drops, and as settings increase, the frame rate also drops. The largest drop occurs when moving from Medium to High at 2560x1440, with a 64 FPS decrease, while the smallest drop is from High to Ultra at 1920x1080, with only a 4 FPS difference. The results indicate that the RTX 5090 is capable of handling this game at high frame rates even at 4K, but the CPU may limit performance at lower resolutions and settings. Overall, the combo provides an excellent experience across the board, with the only concern being the 84 FPS average at 4K Ultra, which is still playable but not as smooth as the other configurations.
