Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that behaves differently from typical shooters or action games, and the benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the Intel Arc B570 reflects that. The measured FPS across resolutions shows a system that is very capable at 1080p, solid at 1440p, but clearly struggling to maintain playable frame rates at 4K, especially on higher presets. This analysis breaks down the raw numbers to explain where this combo excels, where it falls short, and what settings you should actually use.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and tells a clear story about which component is the bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 192 FPS average. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 121 FPS, a 37% reduction. At 4K Low, the average falls to 63 FPS, which is another 48% cut from the 1440p figure. This pattern—where each resolution step costs roughly a third to half of the remaining performance—points directly to the GPU being the limiting factor. The Arc B570 is a mid-range card, and the data shows it simply cannot feed frames fast enough at higher pixel counts.

Looking at the High preset, the scaling is similar but with lower absolute numbers. The 1080p High average is 96 FPS, dropping to 61 FPS at 1440p (a 36% loss), and then to 32 FPS at 4K (a 48% loss from 1440p). The fact that the percentage drops are nearly identical between Low and High presets suggests the resolution scaling penalty is consistent regardless of graphical load. This is classic GPU-bound behavior—the CPU has enough headroom at these settings, and the graphics card is the wall.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max FPS data, which provides extra insight. At 1080p Medium, the average is 136 FPS with a minimum of 115 and maximum of 156. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 86 FPS with a minimum of 73 and maximum of 99. At 4K Medium, the average is 45 FPS with a minimum of 38 and maximum of 52. The min frame rates show that even at 4K, the system doesn't have catastrophic stutters—the 38 FPS minimum is close to the average, meaning frame pacing is stable. This is good news for a simulation game where consistent frame times matter more than raw peak FPS.

The Ultra preset follows the expected trend: 91 FPS at 1080p, 58 FPS at 1440p, and 30 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is essentially unplayable for a smooth experience, and even 1440p Ultra is borderline for a game that benefits from high frame rates. The data clearly indicates that 4K is not a realistic target for this hardware combination unless you are willing to drop to Low settings, where 63 FPS average is acceptable but not great. The sweet spot for this pairing is clearly 1080p or 1440p, where the GPU can maintain high frame rates without being overwhelmed by pixel count.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the best experience for this hardware depends heavily on your target resolution. At 1080p, you have the luxury of choice. The Ultra preset at 91 FPS average is perfectly playable, and the High preset at 96 FPS is nearly identical in performance. The data shows that the jump from High to Ultra costs only 5 FPS at 1080p, which is a negligible penalty for the graphical uplift. For most players at 1080p, Ultra is the recommended setting because it delivers above 90 FPS average and the min frame data for Medium (115 FPS min) suggests that even the heavier presets won't dip below playable territory.

At 1440p, the recommendation shifts. The High preset at 61 FPS average is the minimum for a smooth experience, and it sits right at the edge of what most consider playable for a simulation title. The Ultra preset at 58 FPS is technically playable but leaves almost no headroom for dips. The Medium preset at 86 FPS is the safer choice, offering a 25 FPS buffer over High. Given that Pc Building Simulator is not a fast-paced competitive game, the 61 FPS at High is acceptable, but the data suggests that Medium at 1440p is the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. It provides a 86 FPS average with a 73 FPS minimum, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 4K, the situation is dire for high presets. Ultra at 30 FPS average is a slideshow, and High at 32 FPS is no better. Medium at 45 FPS is playable but not ideal, and Low at 63 FPS is the only preset that provides a consistently smooth experience. For 4K owners, the recommendation is to use Low settings if you want to stay above 60 FPS, or Medium if you can tolerate occasional drops into the high 30s. The 63 FPS average at Low is the only preset that hits the 60 FPS target, so that is the practical choice for 4K gaming on this combo.

The overall best experience per the measured rows is 1080p Ultra or 1440p Medium. At 1080p, the system has enough headroom to max out settings without sacrificing frame rate. At 1440p, Medium is the sweet spot because it delivers 86 FPS average with a solid minimum of 73 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even during complex scenes in the simulator. The data does not support 4K gaming on this hardware unless you are willing to make significant compromises on visual quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers strong performance across all settings. The Low preset produces an average of 192 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the entire dataset. The Medium preset averages 136 FPS with a minimum of 115 and maximum of 156 FPS. The High preset averages 96 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 91 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is only 5 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset is not significantly more demanding at this resolution. All presets at 1080p are above 90 FPS average, making this the most comfortable resolution for the hardware.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably but remains playable on most presets. The Low preset averages 121 FPS, which is still excellent. The Medium preset averages 86 FPS with a minimum of 73 and maximum of 99 FPS. The High preset averages 61 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset averages 58 FPS, which dips slightly below that threshold. The data shows that 1440p is viable for all presets if you can tolerate 58-61 FPS on High/Ultra, but Medium is the safest choice for consistent 60+ FPS gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the results are significantly compromised. The Low preset averages 63 FPS, which is the only preset to hit the 60 FPS target at this resolution. The Medium preset averages 45 FPS with a minimum of 38 and maximum of 52 FPS. The High preset averages 32 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 30 FPS. The 4K data shows a clear pattern: the Arc B570 is overwhelmed at this resolution for anything above Low settings. The min FPS of 38 at Medium indicates that even the low points are not catastrophic, but the overall experience is below what most players would consider smooth.

The complete FPS breakdown shows a consistent scaling pattern across resolutions. At Low settings, the frame rates are 192 (1080p), 121 (1440p), and 63 (4K). At Medium, the frame rates are 136 (1080p), 86 (1440p), and 45 (4K). At High, the frame rates are 96 (1080p), 61 (1440p), and 32 (4K). At Ultra, the frame rates are 91 (1080p), 58 (1440p), and 30 (4K). The linear progression of these numbers confirms that the GPU is the primary constraint, with no unexpected bottlenecks or CPU-related stutters appearing in the min FPS data.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is the dominant factor in these benchmark results. The card features a 10 GB GDDR6 memory pool on a 160-bit bus, providing 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is listed at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed. These specifications are modest by modern standards, and the benchmark data reflects that. The card's 150 W TDP is reasonable for its performance class, and the dual-slot design with a single 8-pin power connector suggests it is not a power-hungry component.

The GPU's compute capabilities are defined by 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The pixel rate is 200.0 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 360.0 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 11.52 TFLOPS, which is the raw compute throughput that games rely on for rendering. The 18 RT cores are present but not heavily utilized in a simulation title like Pc Building Simulator, which is more focused on CPU logic and moderate graphical loads.

The benchmark scores for the Arc B570 place it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 20534 (a 0.1% delta), and the Intel Arc A750, which scores 20582 (a -0.1% delta). This puts the B570 in the same performance tier as those cards, which is consistent with the FPS results seen in this game. The 4K performance is particularly telling—the card simply does not have the fill rate or bandwidth to handle 4K at high settings, and the measured 30-32 FPS on High/Ultra confirms that.

The VRAM capacity of 10 GB is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, as evidenced by the stable frame rates at those resolutions. At 4K, the combination of higher memory pressure and lower bandwidth becomes a limiting factor. The 380.0 GB/s bandwidth is likely the primary constraint at 4K, as the card needs to move more texture and geometry data per frame. The 19 Gbps effective memory speed is not exceptional, and the 160-bit bus width limits the total bandwidth compared to wider-bus cards. The data suggests that the B570 is a capable 1080p and 1440p card, but 4K is beyond its design intent.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform and is manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The base clock is 3.00 GHz with a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The TDP is 65 W, which is modest for a desktop processor. The CPU has a 32 MB shared L3 cache, 512 KB L2 per core, and 64 KB L1 per core. It supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is to handle the simulation logic, including component interactions, thermal calculations, and system stability checks. The benchmark data shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this game. At 1080p Low, the system produces 192 FPS, which is a high number that indicates the CPU can feed frames faster than the GPU can render them. The consistent scaling across resolution changes confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor, not the CPU.

The CPU's benchmark scores are strong for its class. The multi-thread score is 19236, and the single-thread score is 2872. The integer math score is 59339, and the floating point math score is 34548. The physics score is 1043. These numbers place the 5600F in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36945. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (36938, 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D (37018, -0.2% delta), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 (37093, -0.4% delta). The 5600F is essentially tied with these processors, showing it is a well-balanced mid-range CPU.

The data in this game indicates that the CPU is more than capable of keeping up with the Arc B570. Even at 1080p Low, where the GPU is working at its highest frame rate, the CPU does not appear to introduce any frame time spikes. The min FPS data for the Medium preset shows that at 1080p, the minimum is 115 FPS, which is a narrow spread from the 136 FPS average. This suggests the CPU is handling the simulation load without creating stutters. The 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for this game, which is not heavily multi-threaded but benefits from having extra threads for background simulation tasks. The 4.00 GHz boost clock provides solid single-thread performance, which is important for the game's logic-heavy nature.
