Pc Building Simulator

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Pc Building Simulator with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT shows a clear progression as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 309 FPS average, while the same settings at 2560x1440 yield 195 FPS, and at 3840x2160 the average drops to 102 FPS. This represents a 67% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, which is a substantial scaling penalty that indicates the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor as pixel count grows.

Moving to High settings, the pattern continues: 155 FPS at 1080p, 98 FPS at 1440p, and 51 FPS at 4K. The 4K result falls below the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that at this resolution the RX 7700 XT is stretched thin even with the simulation's modest graphical demands. The gap between 1080p and 1440p High (57 FPS difference) is nearly identical to the gap between 1440p and 4K High (47 FPS difference), which indicates a fairly linear scaling curve rather than a cliff-like drop at any particular resolution.

Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling: 147 FPS at 1080p, 93 FPS at 1440p, and only 49 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest measured value in the entire dataset, and it sits below the 4K High figure by just 2 FPS. This narrow margin suggests that the transition from High to Ultra at 4K carries a minimal additional performance cost, while the jump from Medium to High at 4K costs 21 FPS (from 72 to 51). The data indicates that at 4K, the game is heavily GPU-bound, with resolution having a more pronounced effect than the preset tier.

The Medium settings row provides the only complete min/max FPS data across all resolutions, revealing frame time consistency: at 1080p Medium, the range spans 186 to 252 FPS (66 FPS spread), at 1440p Medium it spans 118 to 159 FPS (41 FPS spread), and at 4K Medium it spans 61 to 83 FPS (22 FPS spread). The shrinking spread at higher resolutions suggests that while average FPS drops, the frame pacing becomes more stable as the GPU approaches its throughput ceiling — a characteristic typical of GPU-bound scenarios.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT carries 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 1435 MHz, with a game clock of 2171 MHz and a boost clock reaching 2544 MHz. These specifications position the card with 3456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units, along with 54 ray tracing cores. The FP32 compute throughput is rated at 35.17 TFLOPS, which is substantial for a simulation title that does not heavily stress modern GPU features.

In Pc Building Simulator, the 12 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for the game's asset loads at any resolution tested. The measured data shows no signs of VRAM-related stutters or minimum FPS collapse, even at 4K Ultra where average FPS settles at 49. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s appears adequate for the texture streaming demands of a simulation game, as evidenced by the smooth scaling between preset levels.

The RX 7700 XT's benchmark results place it in the 67th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22549. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile (0.5% higher score), the RTX 4060 Mobile (0.8% lower), and the RTX 2080 (1.5% lower). The RX 5700 trails by 1.7%. These margins are tight, meaning the RX 7700 XT sits in a competitive mid-range tier where small differences in synthetic benchmarks translate to minor real-world FPS variations.

The GPU's pixel rate of 244.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 549.5 GTexel/s help explain the 4K performance ceiling. At 3840x2160, the GPU must fill over 8.3 million pixels per frame; at 49 FPS on Ultra, that equates to roughly 407 million pixels per second, which approaches the card's theoretical pixel throughput. The 4K Low result of 102 FPS confirms that when shading complexity is reduced, the card can still deliver playable frame rates, but the rendering overhead at higher presets caps performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Ryzen 5 5600 and RX 7700 XT produce an average of 309 FPS on Low settings, which is the highest figure in the entire dataset. Medium settings lower this to 219 FPS, with a minimum of 186 and maximum of 252. High settings yield 155 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 147 FPS — a surprisingly small gap of only 8 FPS between High and Ultra at this resolution. The 1080p results indicate that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution, as even the most demanding preset clears 140 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the data shows a consistent step down across all presets. Low settings average 195 FPS, Medium averages 138 FPS (minimum 118, maximum 159), High averages 98 FPS, and Ultra averages 93 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra shrinks further to 5 FPS at this resolution, reinforcing the pattern observed at 1080p. The 1440p results still provide ample headroom for high refresh rate displays, with even Ultra settings staying above 90 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens considerably. Low settings still manage 102 FPS, but Medium drops to 72 FPS (minimum 61, maximum 83), High falls to 51 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 49 FPS. The 4K results show that only Low and Medium presets deliver a consistently smooth experience above 60 FPS. The High and Ultra presets, while playable, sit below the 60 FPS mark that many users consider the baseline for fluid gameplay.

The complete dataset reveals that the biggest performance jump occurs between Low and Medium at every resolution: at 1080p the difference is 90 FPS, at 1440p it is 57 FPS, and at 4K it is 30 FPS. The smallest jump is consistently between High and Ultra: 8 FPS at 1080p, 5 FPS at 1440p, and 2 FPS at 4K. This pattern suggests that the High-to-Ultra transition adds minimal visual benefit relative to its performance cost in this simulation title.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer), manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 32 MB of shared L3 cache, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 64 KB of L1 per core. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The processor supports PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600 achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18309 and a single-core score of 2584. Its 3DMark scores show scaling from 882 in single-thread to 5659 at max threads, indicating reasonable multi-threaded scaling across its 12 threads. The Geekbench multicore score is 9158 with a single-core score of 1936. The Passmark multithread score is 21541, and the single-thread score is 3256. The CPU's percentile rank among all CPUs is 74, and its average benchmark score is 20468.

The nearest rivals to the Ryzen 5 5600 in average benchmark score are the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (0.1% higher), AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (0.2% higher), AMD EPYC 9454P (0.2% higher), and AMD EPYC 7713 (0.5% higher). These margins are negligible, meaning the 5600 delivers performance on par with a diverse set of competitors across different market segments. The close margins also indicate that the CPU's 6-core/12-thread configuration is well-balanced for this game's workload.

For Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions. The 1080p Low result of 309 FPS demonstrates that the CPU can feed the GPU efficiently at high frame rates, but the 4K results show that GPU throughput becomes the limiting factor. The CPU's boost clock of 4.40 GHz and strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core 2584) are sufficient for the simulation's logic and UI rendering, which typically rely on fewer threads. The 12 threads provide ample headroom for background processes and any multithreaded aspects of the simulation.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, all presets exceed 140 FPS, so the recommendation is to use Ultra settings (147 FPS) for maximum visual quality without sacrificing playability. The 8 FPS difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is negligible, so users should select Ultra for the best experience.

For 2560x1440, Ultra settings average 93 FPS, which remains above 90 FPS and is suitable for high refresh rate monitors. If a user prioritizes frame consistency, Medium settings (138 FPS) offer the only complete min/max data (118 to 159 FPS) at this resolution, providing a stable experience with a 41 FPS spread. High settings (98 FPS) sit in between and are a reasonable middle ground, but the data suggests Ultra is still viable.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation shifts to Medium settings (72 FPS) as the best balance between visual quality and smoothness. The Medium preset is the only 4K configuration with recorded minimum FPS (61), which stays above the 60 FPS threshold. High (51 FPS) and Ultra (49 FPS) both fall below this threshold, making them less desirable for a smooth experience. Low settings (102 FPS) are an option for users who prioritize frame rate over visuals, but Medium provides a better balance.

The data reveals that the High-to-Ultra transition offers minimal FPS gains (2 to 8 FPS depending on resolution), so users should not expect significant visual improvements from this upgrade. The Medium-to-High transition costs 21 FPS at 4K, 40 FPS at 1440p, and 64 FPS at 1080p, making it the most expensive step in the preset ladder. For the best experience per the measured rows, Medium at 4K and Ultra at 1080p/1440p are the recommended choices.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT ranks 1384 out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the 37th percentile of all configurations.
