Pc Building Simulator

Opening

_Released on 2019-01-28, Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title where component selection and system tuning affect in-game performance. The measured pairing of an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers frame rates from 328 FPS at 1080p Low to 57 FPS at 4K Ultra. This analysis walks through resolution scaling, CPU and GPU influence, a FAQ, the combo's rank among tested systems, and the exact measured numbers._

Resolution Scaling

Resolution is the single largest variable in this dataset. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 328. When the resolution rises to 1440p Low, that average drops to 231. At 4K Low, it reaches 121 FPS. The pattern repeats at every quality setting: 1080p Medium runs at 259 FPS with a spread from 220 to 298; 1440p Medium averages 163 FPS with a floor of 139 and a ceiling of 188; 4K Medium yields 85 FPS, ranging from 73 to 98. High preset numbers follow: 183 FPS, 115 FPS, 60 FPS across 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p. Ultra preset is slightly lower: 174, 110, and 57 for 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p, respectively.

The pattern shows that doubling the pixels from 1080p to 1440p cuts the average FPS roughly by half at low and medium, though High and Ultra fall by about one-third. Moving from 1440p to 4K reduces every preset further: High goes from 115 to 60, Ultra from 110 to 57, Medium 163 to 85, and Low 231 to 121. This ~49% drop per step indicates an increasingly GPU-bound workload. The frame-time consistency changes as well: the medium setting shows a 79 FPS spread (298–218) at 1080p, which narrows to 47 FPS at 1440p (188–139) and only 17 FPS at 2160p (98–81). This implies that even the weakest sampled setting (4K medium) holds a steadier frame rate than the low-latency scenario at 1080p.

A logical conclusion from the scaling is that the RTX 3080 Ti is the primary limiting component at 4K, because only the GPU output changes when the resolution changes; the CPU work per frame stays similar. At 1080p the CPU and GPU are both fast enough to reach three-digit rates, but at 4K the rendering load pushes the GPU to its floor on the High/Ultra presets, landing near 60 FPS.

CPU Role

Effects of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 are visible in the CPU-bound nuance at 1080p. The chip is built on a 7nm process; it has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost of 4.40 GHz. The L1 cache is 64 KB per core, L2 is 512 KB per core, and L3 is 32 MB shared. The memory interfaces are dual-channel DDR4 with a theoretical bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 20468, which places it in the 74th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 258.5 (avgScore 20454, deltaPct 0.1), the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (20425, delta 0.2), and two EPYC models (three? actually list four). The deltaPct values show that the Ryzen 5 5600 is within 0.5% of these models, indicating a mid-tier performance tier.

In Pc Building Simulator, which is a simulator where the player assembly and management create largely CPU-friendly systems, such a processor is more than sufficient at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the CPU can feed the GPU to 328 FPS; the 4.4GHz boost clock ensures high single-thread responsiveness. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result is 18309 points with a single-core score of 2584; the 6C/12T design handles the game’s logic threads easily. These numbers are strong enough to confirm that the CPU is not the ultimate ceiling at 1080p, since scaling down resolution still increases frames. However, at 4Kp the processor doesn’t have to work as hard for each frame because the GPU becomes the bottleneck, as shown by the larger frame drops at higher resolutions.

The 65 W TDP and 74 mm² die size suggest that power draw is modest, which is relevant for a simulation game that might involve small updates and physics. While these specs don’t appear directly in the frame data, they add context to why the CPU can maintain steady frame pacing without throttling.

GPU Role

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the rendering driver of this configuration. It is built on an 8nm process, has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering 912.4 GB/s of bandwidth. The chip has 10240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, 112 Raster Output Units, 80 Ray Tracing (RT) cores, and 320 Tensor cores. Pixel rate measures 186.5 gigapixels/second and texture rate 532.8 gigatexels/second, with FP32 performance 34.10 TFLOPS. The boost clock peaks at 1665 MHz, and the core base is 1365 MHz.

The GPU holds a percentile of 83 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 41187. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (score 40870, deltaPct 0.8), the Tesla M40 24 GB (41707, delta -1.2), the plain Tesla M40 (41897, delta -1.7), and the RTX 5070 (40377, delta 2.0). These numbers position the RTX 3080 Ti as a high-tier card that is within 2% of current flagship entries. The GPU’s memory bandwidth supports high texture detail and particle effects common in simulation menus and 3D component renders.

In the game, its role is apparent at 4K Ultra: 57 FPS is just below the 60 FPS that many consider playable. The minute 3 FPS gap between Ultra and High (57 vs 60) implies a GPU that is nearly saturated at the top settings. The 3DMark score of 5077 (as per benchmarks) and PassMark G3D score of 26896 reinforce its capacity. The measured FPS drops from 121 at 4K Low to 57 at 4K Ultra, a 64-frame difference that shows how much GPUs the ultra geometry consumes.

The GPU’s 912.4 GB/s bandwidth handles the high-texture packages of a building simulation, which often involve moving dense assets between VRAM and the core. However, the data does not reveal any memory-capacity tie because the game only requires 12 GB, well within the 12 GB pool. The 80 RT cores are idle or lightly used in a simulation title that likely does not use ray tracing; the frame data shows no unexplained stutters, so the GPU is stable.

FAQ

Q: What is the lowest average FPS, and at which resolution/settings?

A: The lowest measured average is 57 FPS, which occurs at 4K Ultra (3840x2160, Ultra). The High preset at 4K sits at 60 FPS, medium at 85 FPS, and low at 121 FPS.

Q: How does the CPU’s benchmark score compare with its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600 scores 20468 on the average benchmark. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V scores 20454 (deltaPct 0.1), the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425 (delta 0.2), the AMD EPYC 9454P 20422 (delta 0.2), and the AMD EPYC 7713 20363 (delta 0.5). The differences are within 0.5% of each other.

Q: Which resolution shows the greatest frame-time volatility?

A: The Medium setting at 1080p has the widest span between the minimum (220) and maximum (298) FPS, a 79-frame range. The 4K medium range is 73 to 98, a tighter 25 frames, indicating greater consistency at higher resolutions.

Q: Is the CPU a limiting factor at 4K?

A: No. The FPS scales dramatically with resolution, dropping from 328 (1080p Low) to 121 (4K Low) and from 174 (1080p Ultra) to 57 (4K Ultra). If the CPU were the constraint, frame rate would remain constant across resolutions. The GPU is the bottleneck at 4K, as the GPU load quadruples each resolution step.

Q: How does this combo rank compared to other systems in Pc Building Simulator?

A: With a rank of 976 out of 3723 tested combos, this pairing is in the 26th percentile (approximately). It sits above three-quarters of the tested configurations, confirming that the RTX 3080 Ti complements the mid-range CPU effectively.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + GeForce RTX 3080 Ti holds the 976th position out of 3,723 total measured combos in Pc Building Simulator. That rank appears in the upper midfield, but not the top section. The CPU’s 74th PCI percentile and GPU’s 83rd percentile both support a robust system, yet the slightly more powerful graphics card pulls the overall ranking higher. The deltaPct on the GPU’s rival list – within 2% of the RTX 5070 – shows that this card is still competitive. In practice the data above, the combo meets smooth 4K playable frames (60 on High, 57 on Ultra) and sits nearly a tenth of the way from the top 25 percent. The rank statistic reflects the raw performance group; it does not account for productivity or other tasks.
