Pc Building Simulator

# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 5 5600F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers remarkably high frame rates across all tested settings in Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that does not appear to stress high-end hardware heavily. The combo ranks 440th out of 3002 tested combinations, placing it in the top 15% of all tested configurations, which is notable given that the CPU sits at the 85th percentile among all processors and the GPU at the 86th percentile among all GPUs. The measured data shows this pairing is heavily overqualified for the game's demands, with the weakest performance still exceeding 70 FPS at 4K Ultra, but the scaling patterns reveal a system that is increasingly CPU-bound at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 440 out of 3002 tested combinations places it firmly in the upper tier of tested systems, though not at the absolute top. This positioning makes sense when examining the underlying components. The Ryzen 5 5600F achieves an average benchmark score of 36945, which places it at the 85th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals show incredibly tight clustering: the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 scores 36938 (deltaPct 0), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018 (deltaPct -0.2%), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093 (deltaPct -0.4%), and the Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112 (deltaPct -0.5%). This means the 5600F is essentially performance-equivalent to four very different processors, with the largest gap being just half a percent behind the Core i9-12900T. Such tight clustering suggests that for this game, the CPU's specific architecture matters less than its general capability level.

The RTX 4080 SUPER tells a similar story on the GPU side. Its average benchmark score of 54209 places it at the 86th percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals are again extremely close: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 scores 54247 (deltaPct -0.1%), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828 (deltaPct -1.1%), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698 (deltaPct -2.7%), and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757 (deltaPct -2.8%). The RTX 4080 SUPER is essentially tied with the RTX 4080, while trailing the Radeon 8060S by less than 3%. For a game like Pc Building Simulator, where the GPU is rarely the primary constraint, these small differences in raw compute power translate into negligible real-world performance gaps.

The combination of a CPU that matches its immediate rivals within 0.5% and a GPU that matches its immediate rivals within 2.8% results in a system that is well-balanced but not exceptional. The rank of 440 out of 3002 means roughly 85% of tested combos score lower, but the top 15% of systems likely feature more powerful CPUs or GPUs that push frame rates even higher in this undemanding title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 200 FPS average, with Low at 282 FPS, Medium at 248 FPS, High at 218 FPS, and Ultra at 214 FPS. The Medium preset provides a substantial improvement over Low while maintaining 248 FPS average with minimums of 211 FPS and maximums of 285 FPS. For 1080p users with high refresh rate monitors, the High preset's 218 FPS is the sweet spot, as the visual upgrade from High to Ultra is minimal at only 4 FPS difference.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset stands out with 209 FPS average, minimums of 178 FPS, and maximums of 240 FPS. This is notably higher than High's 148 FPS and Ultra's 141 FPS. The Low preset at 242 FPS shows that the system is not GPU-limited at this resolution with lower settings. For 1440p, the Medium preset offers the best balance, providing a significant FPS advantage over High and Ultra while still maintaining good visual quality. The High and Ultra presets are nearly identical in performance, suggesting the game's Ultra preset adds little overhead over High at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. The Low preset delivers 154 FPS, Medium delivers 109 FPS, High delivers 77 FPS, and Ultra delivers 73 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 93 FPS and maximum of 126 FPS indicate stable performance. For 4K, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it provides a 32 FPS improvement over High while still maintaining visual quality above Low. The High and Ultra presets are very close, with only 4 FPS separating them, making Ultra a viable option for users who prioritize visual fidelity over the small FPS cost.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across all settings. The Low preset achieves 282 FPS average, the highest recorded for this resolution. The Medium preset shows 248 FPS average with a minimum of 211 FPS and maximum of 285 FPS, demonstrating consistent frame pacing. The High preset drops to 218 FPS average, while the Ultra preset achieves 214 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra is 68 FPS, representing a 24% reduction in performance from the lowest to highest settings.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains very strong but shows more differentiation between presets. Low settings produce 242 FPS average, Medium produces 209 FPS with minimums of 178 FPS and maximums of 240 FPS, High produces 148 FPS, and Ultra produces 141 FPS. The jump from Medium to High represents a 61 FPS reduction, which is the largest single-step drop in this resolution. This suggests that High settings introduce rendering features that significantly increase GPU load.

At 3840x2160, the performance scales down considerably. Low settings deliver 154 FPS average, Medium delivers 109 FPS with minimums of 93 FPS and maximums of 126 FPS, High delivers 77 FPS, and Ultra delivers 73 FPS. The Medium to High transition at 4K creates a 32 FPS drop, while High to Ultra only costs 4 FPS. The 4K Low to 4K Ultra range spans from 154 FPS to 73 FPS, a spread of 81 FPS that shows the GPU's load scales significantly with resolution and settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about the system's bottleneck characteristics. At Low settings, the system produces 282 FPS at 1080p, 242 FPS at 1440p, and 154 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 14%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 36%. The total reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is 45%. This pattern suggests that at Low settings, the system is partially CPU-bound at 1080p, as the relatively small FPS drop at 1440p indicates the GPU still has headroom.

At Medium settings, the scaling is more pronounced. The system produces 248 FPS at 1080p, 209 FPS at 1440p, and 109 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 16%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 48%. The total reduction is 56%. This indicates that Medium settings increase GPU load enough to make the GPU more of a limiting factor at higher resolutions.

At High settings, the scaling shows the largest proportional drops. The system produces 218 FPS at 1080p, 148 FPS at 1440p, and 77 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 32%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 48%. The total reduction is 65%. At Ultra settings, the system produces 214 FPS at 1080p, 141 FPS at 1440p, and 73 FPS at 4K, with drops of 34% and 48% respectively, totaling 66%.

The scaling pattern indicates that at 1080p, the Ryzen 5 5600F becomes the limiting component at lower settings, as the GPU cannot fully utilize its potential due to CPU constraints. As resolution increases, the GPU load increases proportionally, and the RTX 4080 SUPER becomes the primary bottleneck. The fact that High and Ultra settings show similar scaling curves suggests that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are the determining factors at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 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. It supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's impact is most visible at 1080p resolutions where the frame rates are extremely high. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 282 FPS, which is close to what a 6-core Zen 3 processor can deliver in this simulation title. The small FPS difference between 1080p Low (282 FPS) and 1440p Low (242 FPS) suggests that the CPU is still the limiting factor at 1080p, as the GPU would be capable of higher frame rates if the CPU could feed it faster.

The CPU's PassMark scores provide context for its performance. The multi-thread score of 19236 and single-thread score of 2872 indicate strong per-core performance for a 6-core part. The integer math score of 59339 and floating point math score of 34548 show balanced compute capabilities. The physics score of 1043 and the prime numbers score of 120 are less relevant but indicate the CPU handles simulation-type workloads adequately. The CPU's percentile ranking of 85th among all CPUs means it outperforms the majority of processors, though it does not lead the pack.

The nearest rival data shows the 5600F is essentially tied with several other processors, including the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, and Intel Core i9-12900T. The tight clustering of these scores, all within 0.5% of each other, indicates that for this game's CPU demands, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical performance. This suggests that Pc Building Simulator's CPU requirements are modest enough that the 6-core, 12-thread configuration is sufficient, and additional cores or higher clocks would not meaningfully improve frame rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is based on the AD103 chip using the Ada Lovelace architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz, with memory running at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). It contains 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 80 RT cores, and 320 tensor cores.

The GPU's role in Pc Building Simulator becomes dominant at higher resolutions and settings. At 4K Ultra, the system delivers 73 FPS, which is the lowest measured performance. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 34245 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6600 indicate strong raw performance. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 219065 and Vulkan score of 260075 show the GPU handles compute workloads efficiently. However, the DirectX 9 score of 381, DirectX 10 score of 193, DirectX 11 score of 301, and DirectX 12 score of 134 suggest that the game's rendering engine may not fully utilize the GPU's modern features.

The RTX 4080 SUPER's nearest rival data shows it is essentially tied with the RTX 4080, trailing by just 0.1%. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X trails by 1.1%, the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB trails by 2.7%, and the Radeon 8060S trails by 2.8%. These small deltas indicate that in this game, the GPU's specific brand and model matter less than its overall performance tier. The GPU's percentile ranking of 86th among all GPUs places it in the upper echelon of graphics cards.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, which does not require large texture pools or complex geometry. The GPU's 736.3 GB/s memory bandwidth ensures that even at 4K resolution with Ultra settings, memory bandwidth is not a bottleneck. The triple-slot cooler and 320 W TDP indicate the card is designed for high sustained performance, though the measured frame rates in this game never approach the GPU's maximum capability except at 4K Ultra.
