Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that tasks players with assembling and benchmarking virtual PCs, and the measured frame rates for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 reveal a configuration that scales predictably with resolution and settings. The data shows a system that delivers very high frame rates at 1080p, remains highly playable at 1440p, and only begins to struggle at 4K with the most demanding presets.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 in Pc Building Simulator tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lies. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 226 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 142 FPS, a reduction of 84 FPS or roughly 37%. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 74 FPS, which is about 48% lower than the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern suggests that at lower resolutions and settings, the CPU has enough headroom to push very high frame rates, but the GPU becomes increasingly responsible for the final output as pixel count grows.

The Medium settings row provides the most complete data because it includes minimum and maximum frame rates. At 1080p Medium, the average is 160 FPS with a minimum of 136 FPS and a maximum of 184 FPS. Stepping up to 1440p Medium yields an average of 101 FPS, with a minimum of 86 FPS and maximum of 116 FPS. The 4K Medium result drops to an average of 53 FPS, with a minimum of 45 FPS and maximum of 61 FPS. This represents a 67 FPS decline from 1080p to 1440p, and another 48 FPS decline from 1440p to 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 36.9%, while from 1440p to 4K it is 47.5%, indicating that the scaling penalty accelerates at higher resolutions.

High settings show a similar trend. At 1080p, the average is 113 FPS. At 1440p, it falls to 71 FPS, a 42 FPS or 37.2% reduction. At 4K, the average is 37 FPS, which is 34 FPS lower than 1440p and represents a 47.9% drop. Ultra settings follow the same pattern: 107 FPS at 1080p, 68 FPS at 1440p, and 35 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 39 FPS (36.4%), and from 1440p to 4K is 33 FPS (48.5%).

The consistent pattern across all settings — roughly a 37% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 48% reduction from 1440p to 4K — indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. The RX 7600’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth appears sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the combination of pixel count and memory pressure causes frame rates to drop below the 60 FPS threshold for High and Ultra presets. The fact that Low settings at 4K still manage 74 FPS suggests that the GPU can handle the geometry and shading work if texture and effect loads are reduced.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, fabricated on a 6 nm process by TSMC. It has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, along with 32 ray tracing cores. The GPU’s base clock is 1720 MHz, with a game clock of 2250 MHz and a boost clock of 2655 MHz. Memory runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, providing 8 GB of GDDR6 across a 128-bit bus for a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. The card’s pixel rate is 169.9 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 339.8 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 21.75 TFLOPS.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU’s role becomes evident when comparing Low and Ultra settings at the same resolution. At 1080p, Low produces 226 FPS while Ultra produces 107 FPS, a difference of 119 FPS. At 1440p, the gap narrows to 74 FPS (142 vs 68), and at 4K it shrinks to 39 FPS (74 vs 35). This narrowing gap with increasing resolution indicates that while the GPU is capable of high frame rates at low settings, the additional workload from Ultra settings (likely higher resolution textures, more complex lighting, and additional effects) significantly impacts performance. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a notable constraint at 4K Ultra, where the average of 35 FPS suggests the card is both compute-bound and memory-bound.

The RX 7600’s benchmark scores place it in the 57th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 15171. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM (with a deltaPct of -0.2, meaning the RX 7600 scores 0.2% lower), the AMD Radeon 680M (deltaPct of -0.7), and the AMD Radeon Pro 560X (deltaPct of 0.6). This positioning indicates that the RX 7600 sits in the mid-range tier, which aligns with its measured performance in Pc Building Simulator. The card’s 57th percentile ranking suggests it outperforms a majority of GPUs but is not a top-tier part, which is consistent with the observed frame rates that are excellent at 1080p, good at 1440p, and marginal at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer), manufactured on a 7 nm process by TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The processor uses the AMD Socket AM4 interface and supports PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). Its transistor count is 4,150 million on a die size of 74 mm².

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU’s influence is most apparent at 1080p with Low settings, where the system achieves 226 FPS. This high frame rate indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions. The CPU’s single-thread performance, as measured by benchmarks, shows a 3dmark_single_thread score of 882 and a passmark_single_thread score of 3256. Multi-threaded performance is strong for its class, with a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 18309 and a geekbench_multicore score of 9158.

However, the CPU’s role becomes less critical as resolution increases. The fact that frame rates drop by roughly 37% from 1080p to 1440p and another 48% from 1440p to 4K, regardless of settings, suggests that the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher resolutions. At 1080p Ultra, the 107 FPS average is still well above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the CPU is not limiting performance even with maximum settings. The Ryzen 5 5600’s percentile rank of 74 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20468, places it above the median. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (deltaPct of 0.1), AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (deltaPct of 0.2), AMD EPYC 9454P (deltaPct of 0.2), and AMD EPYC 7713 (deltaPct of 0.5), all of which have nearly identical average scores.

The CPU’s 3.50 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost clock provide adequate single-thread performance for simulation games, which often rely on a single main thread for game logic. In Pc Building Simulator, the virtual benchmarking workloads may also exercise multiple threads, and the 12 threads of the Ryzen 5 5600 appear well-suited to the task. The data indicates that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU is not the limiting factor, as frame rates scale primarily with GPU workload. Only at 4K with the heaviest presets does the overall system performance fall below 60 FPS, and this is attributable to the GPU’s capabilities rather than the CPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + AMD Radeon RX 7600 combination ranks 2561 out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the combo in the 68.8th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning it outperforms approximately 68.8% of all combinations but is outperformed by roughly 31.2%. This ranking reflects the mid-range positioning of both components. The CPU’s 74th percentile ranking is notably higher than the GPU’s 57th percentile, suggesting that the GPU is the more limiting component in this pairing.

The combo rank of 2561 out of 3723 indicates that there are 1162 combos that perform better in this game. Given that the GPU ranks in the 57th percentile while the CPU ranks in the 74th percentile, the overall combo ranking is dragged down by the GPU’s lower relative performance. This is consistent with the resolution scaling analysis, which showed the GPU becoming the bottleneck at higher resolutions. The rank also suggests that in a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, where the workload may be less demanding than AAA shooters or open-world titles, this mid-range combo can still deliver playable frame rates at most settings and resolutions, but it cannot compete with higher-end GPU configurations.

The nearest rival data supports this interpretation. The RX 7600’s closest GPU rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, has a deltaPct of -0.2, meaning the RX 7600 scores essentially identically. A combo with the RTX 3050 OEM would likely rank similarly in Pc Building Simulator. The CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V and AMD Ryzen 5 8500G, also have nearly identical average scores, so swapping the CPU for one of these would not significantly change the combo’s ranking. This suggests that to improve the combo’s rank, a GPU upgrade would be more impactful than a CPU upgrade.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, all settings provide playable frame rates. Low settings produce 226 FPS, Medium 160 FPS, High 113 FPS, and Ultra 107 FPS. For a 60 FPS display, any preset works, but for high refresh rate monitors (144 Hz or higher), Low or Medium settings are recommended to take advantage of the higher frame rates. Medium settings at 1080p offer a good balance with 160 FPS average and a minimum of 136 FPS, ensuring no drops below 120 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the choice is more nuanced. Low settings deliver 142 FPS, Medium 101 FPS, High 71 FPS, and Ultra 68 FPS. For 60 Hz displays, Ultra is acceptable, but for 144 Hz monitors, Medium settings provide the best experience with 101 FPS average and 86 FPS minimum. High settings at 71 FPS are suitable for 60-75 Hz displays. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot for 1440p, as it maintains frame rates well above 60 FPS while offering better visual quality than Low.

At 3840x2160, the options are limited. Low settings average 74 FPS, which is playable on 60 Hz displays. Medium settings average 53 FPS, which may be acceptable for some players but is below the 60 FPS threshold. High and Ultra settings at 37 FPS and 35 FPS respectively are not recommended for smooth gameplay. For 4K, Low settings are the only preset that consistently stays above 60 FPS, while Medium can be used if the player prioritizes visual quality over frame rate stability.

The overall recommendation is to use Medium settings at 1080p or 1440p for the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. At 4K, Low settings are advised, with Medium as a fallback for players who prefer higher quality over frame rate. The measured minimum frame rates at Medium settings (136 FPS at 1080p, 86 FPS at 1440p, 45 FPS at 4K) indicate that this preset provides the most consistent experience without significant drops.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + AMD Radeon RX 7600 in Pc Building Simulator is as follows:

At 1920x1080:

• Low settings: 226 FPS average
• Medium settings: 160 FPS average, 136 FPS minimum, 184 FPS maximum
• High settings: 113 FPS average
• Ultra settings: 107 FPS average

At 2560x1440:

• Low settings: 142 FPS average
• Medium settings: 101 FPS average, 86 FPS minimum, 116 FPS maximum
• High settings: 71 FPS average
• Ultra settings: 68 FPS average

At 3840x2160:

• Low settings: 74 FPS average
• Medium settings: 53 FPS average, 45 FPS minimum, 61 FPS maximum
• High settings: 37 FPS average
• Ultra settings: 35 FPS average

This breakdown reveals that the Medium preset is the only one with full minimum and maximum data, providing insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the range from 136 to 184 FPS spans 48 FPS, indicating some variability but overall high performance. At 1440p Medium, the range narrows to 30 FPS (86 to 116), suggesting more consistent frame pacing. At 4K Medium, the range is 16 FPS (45 to 61), which is tighter but at a lower average. The data shows that as resolution increases, the frame rate range narrows, but the average drops significantly, confirming that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The jump from Low to Medium settings at 1080p is 66 FPS (226 to 160), while from Medium to High it is 47 FPS (160 to 113), and from High to Ultra it is only 6 FPS (113 to 107). This indicates diminishing returns at the highest preset. At 1440p, the gaps are 41 FPS (Low to Medium), 30 FPS (Medium to High), and 3 FPS (High to Ultra). At 4K, the gaps are 21 FPS (Low to Medium), 16 FPS (Medium to High), and 2 FPS (High to Ultra). The shrinking gaps at higher resolutions suggest that the GPU is becoming saturated, and the difference between High and Ultra becomes negligible. This pattern reinforces the recommendation to use Medium settings, as the visual upgrade to High or Ultra comes at a significant frame rate cost, particularly at 1440p and 4K.
