Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that stresses system configuration and hardware interaction, and the measured frame rates for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER reveal a configuration that is heavily skewed toward GPU dominance across all tested resolutions. The data shows this pairing achieving high frame rates even at 4K, with the CPU’s six-core design providing sufficient throughput to keep the GPU fed, though the scaling patterns indicate a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution and settings change.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications make the frame rate behavior in Pc Building Simulator predictable. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s, which is ample for the simulation's asset streaming at all tested resolutions. The base clock of 2295 MHz and boost clock of 2550 MHz, combined with 10240 shading units, drive the raw compute throughput that the game's rendering engine leverages. The GPU’s 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present, though their impact on this specific simulation is secondary to the traditional rasterization workload. The memory subsystem is particularly relevant: at 4K Ultra, the combo averages 71.9 FPS, and the 16 GB frame buffer ensures no capacity-related stutter is evident in the data.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 53610 places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, scores 53489, a delta of just 0.2%, meaning the 4080 SUPER is marginally ahead. The data indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER is not the limiting factor at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 224 FPS even at Ultra settings. However, at 4K, the GPU’s workload increases significantly, as evidenced by the drop from 1080p Ultra (224 FPS) to 4K Ultra (71.9 FPS), a 68% decrease. This suggests that the GPU’s fill rate and shading capacity are the primary drivers of performance at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s role becomes less critical as the resolution scales.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 provides a solid foundation for this configuration, with 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture. Its base clock of 3.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz, combined with a 32 MB shared L3 cache, offer adequate single-threaded and multi-threaded performance for a simulation title that may not fully utilize all cores. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 21765 places it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 9554P (21899, deltaPct -0.6) and the Intel Core i7-11700F (21957, deltaPct -0.9), indicating the 5600 is competitive but not a standout in raw compute. The CPU’s 3DMark scores show a progression from 1737 in the 2-thread test to 5659 in the max-thread test, demonstrating that scaling exists but is not linear, which is typical for a 6-core part.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU’s impact is most visible at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 326.5 FPS, which is 38% higher than the 1080p High result of 236.2 FPS, suggesting that at Low settings, the CPU is able to feed the GPU more efficiently, but the frame rate is still high enough to indicate the GPU is not fully saturated. The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and dual-channel DDR4 support are sufficient for the game’s data transfer needs. However, the data shows that as resolution increases, the CPU’s role diminishes: the difference between 1080p Ultra (224 FPS) and 1440p Ultra (138.3 FPS) is 38%, while the difference between 1440p Ultra and 4K Ultra (71.9 FPS) is 48%, indicating a growing GPU bottleneck. The CPU’s 12 threads are likely underutilized in this simulation, but its strong single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 882, prevents it from being a drag on the GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 4080 SUPER achieves a rank of 173 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 9.8% of all configurations. This rank reflects a pairing that is imbalanced toward the GPU, as the CPU’s mid-range standing (79th percentile) contrasts with the GPU’s high-end standing (88th percentile). The data suggests that the combo’s rank is driven primarily by the GPU’s ability to maintain high frame rates at 1440p and 4K, where the CPU’s limitations are less apparent. For context, the CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the Intel Xeon D-1746TER, have similar average scores (21635, deltaPct 0.6), but the RTX 4080 SUPER’s nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, scores slightly lower (53489, deltaPct 0.2), reinforcing that the GPU is the stronger component in this pairing.

The rank of 173 is notable because it suggests that many other combos, likely with higher-end CPUs, achieve better results. The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600’s six-core design may be a limiting factor in scenarios where the simulation’s logic threads scale beyond 12 threads, though the measured FPS does not show severe CPU-bound drops. At 1080p High, the combo hits 236.2 FPS, which is high but not the top of the chart, and the 4K Ultra result of 71.9 FPS is respectable but not exceptional for a GPU in the 88th percentile. The combo’s rank suggests that a stronger CPU, such as those with more cores or higher boost clocks, could push the frame rates higher at 1080p, but the GPU remains the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data across resolutions reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling, with the CPU’s influence waning as pixel count increases. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 326.5 FPS at Low, 290.4 FPS at Medium, 236.2 FPS at High, and 224 FPS at Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 31%, indicating that settings have a moderate impact, but the frame rates are all above 200 FPS, which suggests the GPU is not fully saturated at this resolution. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop to 279.5 FPS at Low, 207 FPS at Medium, 145.9 FPS at High, and 138.3 FPS at Ultra. The drop from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra is 38%, which is a significant reduction but still leaves the combo in high-refresh territory. At 3840x2160, the frame rates fall to 156 FPS at Low, 108.5 FPS at Medium, 75 FPS at High, and 71.9 FPS at Ultra. The drop from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra is 48%, and the drop from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra is 68%, demonstrating a steep scaling curve.

The resolution scaling data indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at 4K, as the frame rate reduction from 1440p to 4K is proportionally larger than the reduction from 1080p to 1440p. For example, the High setting shows a 38% drop from 1080p (236.2 FPS) to 1440p (145.9 FPS), but only a 49% drop from 1440p to 4K (75 FPS), which is less severe in relative terms but still significant. The Low setting shows a 14% drop from 1080p (326.5 FPS) to 1440p (279.5 FPS), and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K (156 FPS), indicating that even at Low settings, the GPU’s workload at 4K is substantial. This pattern suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck at any resolution, as the frame rate scaling is consistent with GPU-bound behavior. The data also shows that the gap between High and Ultra settings narrows at higher resolutions: at 1080p, the difference is 5%, at 1440p it is 5%, and at 4K it is 4%, indicating that the GPU’s performance ceiling is reached at Ultra settings regardless of resolution.
