# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 5 5600F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 in Pc Building Simulator delivers a combo that sits at rank 361 out of 3002 tested combinations, placing it comfortably in the top tier of configurations for this simulation title. The RTX 4090, with its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 384-bit bus, dominates the rendering workload, while the six-core Ryzen 5 5600F provides enough processing headroom to keep frame rates consistently high across all resolutions. The data reveals a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher settings, but the CPU's Zen 3 architecture still plays a meaningful role at lower preset levels where the GPU is less stressed.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS numbers show a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1080p to 1440p to 4K. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 218 FPS at 1920x1080 to 164 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 54 FPS, and then further to 86 FPS at 3840x2160, a drop of 78 FPS from the 1440p result. This progression indicates that the RTX 4090 is the primary limiting factor at 4K, as the gap between 1080p and 1440p is proportionally smaller than the gap between 1440p and 4K when the pixel count roughly doubles at each step.

Looking at Low settings, the scaling is even more dramatic. The 1080p Low result hits 282 FPS, while 1440p Low manages 242 FPS, and 4K Low falls to 171 FPS. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is roughly 39%, which is less severe than the High settings drop of approximately 61% from 218 FPS to 86 FPS. This difference suggests that at Low settings, the CPU begins to play a larger role in limiting performance, particularly at 1080p where the 282 FPS figure is likely approaching the practical ceiling for the Ryzen 5 5600F's single-thread performance in this game.

The Medium preset shows intermediate scaling, with 248 FPS at 1080p, 213 FPS at 1440p, and 121 FPS at 4K. Notably, the 4K Medium result of 121 FPS is still well above the 60 FPS target, indicating that this combination can handle 4K gaming with medium details without breaking a sweat. The Ultra preset, on the other hand, drops to 82 FPS at 4K, which remains playable but shows that the most demanding settings start to challenge even the flagship RTX 4090 in this simulation title.

The pattern across all presets reveals that Pc Building Simulator scales resolution in a mostly linear fashion for this GPU, with the 4K results consistently landing at roughly 40-50% of the 1080p numbers. This is typical for a GPU-bound scenario, and the data suggests that the RTX 4090's 24 GB frame buffer is not a bottleneck at any resolution tested, as even the 4K Ultra result of 82 FPS maintains smooth gameplay without memory-related stuttering.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the undisputed performance leader in this pairing, and its specifications paint a picture of overwhelming graphical capability. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2235 MHz and a boost clock of 2520 MHz, built on the AD102 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture at a 5 nm process node. The 16,384 shading units and 176 ROPs provide massive raw compute throughput, with FP32 performance rated at 82.58 TFLOPS. These numbers translate directly into the high frame rates observed in the measured data, particularly at 1440p and 1080p where the GPU is rarely the limiting factor.

The 24 GB of GDDR6X memory running on a 384-bit bus delivers 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator's asset streaming and scene complexity. The game, released in 2019, does not appear to stress the VRAM capacity even at 4K Ultra settings, as the 82 FPS average at those settings shows no signs of memory-related performance collapse. The GPU's tensor cores and ray tracing capabilities, while present with 512 tensor cores and 128 RT cores, are not directly measured in the benchmark data, but the raw rasterization performance clearly drives the results.

The RTX 4090's benchmark scores reinforce its top-tier status, with a PassMark G3D score of 38194 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 271631. These synthetic results place the GPU in the 88th percentile of all GPUs tested, and its average benchmark score of 60347 puts it slightly above the Intel Arc Pro A60 by a negligible 0 deltaPct, and ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 by 0.3%. The nearest rival data shows that the RTX 4090 sits in a performance class where even small percentage differences represent significant real-world gaps, though the closest competitors in the database are professional workstation cards rather than gaming-focused alternatives.

In Pc Building Simulator specifically, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions and settings. The transition from 4K Medium at 121 FPS to 4K High at 86 FPS represents a 35 FPS drop, while the step from High to Ultra at 4K costs only 4 FPS (86 to 82). This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces settings that are more computationally expensive per visual benefit, but the RTX 4090 still handles them without dropping below playable framerates.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a six-core, twelve-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It operates at a base clock of 3.00 GHz and boosts to 4.00 GHz, with a 65 W TDP that makes it a power-efficient choice for this kind of pairing. The CPU features 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 512 KB of L2 cache per core, with dual-channel DDR4 memory support providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications place the 5600F in the 85th percentile of all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 36945.

In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not the primary bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 282 FPS, which is the highest measured result across all configurations. This figure likely approaches the CPU's limit for this game, as the single-thread PassMark score of 2872 and the multithread score of 19236 indicate strong but not exceptional processing power. The Ryzen 5 5600F's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 with a deltaPct of 0, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at -0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at -0.4%, showing that this CPU is competitive with newer and more expensive options.

The data shows that at 4K resolution, the CPU's influence diminishes significantly. The difference between 4K Low at 171 FPS and 4K Medium at 121 FPS is 50 FPS, which is largely attributable to GPU workload rather than CPU limitations. However, at 1080p, the gap between Low (282 FPS) and Medium (248 FPS) is only 34 FPS, and the gap between Medium and High (218 FPS) is 30 FPS. This tighter spacing at 1080p indicates that the CPU is becoming a more significant factor as the GPU has less work to do per frame.

The 5600F's twelve threads and 4.00 GHz boost clock provide adequate headroom for Pc Building Simulator's simulation logic, which involves tracking component compatibility, temperature, and performance metrics in real time. The PassMark physics score of 1043 and the floating-point math score of 34548 suggest that the CPU handles the game's computational demands without becoming a severe bottleneck, even at the highest frame rates observed.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 achieves a rank of 361 out of 3002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 12% of all configurations tested. This ranking reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU, where the RTX 4090's immense graphical power compensates for the 5600F being a mid-range processor rather than a flagship part. The rank is particularly impressive given that the RTX 4090 is paired with a CPU that costs a fraction of what a top-tier processor would, yet the combo still outperforms the vast majority of tested systems.

The benchmark database shows that the RTX 4090 alone sits in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 5600F sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. When combined, the system's rank of 361 suggests that the GPU's dominance in this game outweighs the CPU's relatively lower standing. In a simulation title like Pc Building Simulator, where the graphical rendering of components and cases is a core part of the experience, the GPU's role is naturally amplified, which explains why this combo performs so well despite the CPU not being a top-tier part.

Comparing to the nearest rival data for each component, the Ryzen 5 5600F's average score of 36945 is nearly identical to the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 at 36938 (0% delta), meaning that swapping to that CPU would likely produce almost identical results in this game. The RTX 4090's average score of 60347 is similarly close to the Intel Arc Pro A60 at 60326 (0% delta), though those professional cards are unlikely to appear in gaming-focused builds. The combo rank of 361 out of 3002 indicates that this pairing offers performance that is well above the median tested configuration, and the measured FPS data confirms that it can handle even the most demanding settings at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 282 FPS, which is the peak measured performance in the entire dataset. Medium settings achieve 248 FPS with a minimum of 211 FPS and a maximum of 285 FPS, showing tight frame pacing. High settings average 218 FPS, and Ultra settings come in at 214 FPS, a surprisingly small drop from High. The 1080p results indicate that the CPU is the limiting factor at Low settings, while the GPU takes over as the bottleneck as settings increase.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a more pronounced scaling with settings. Low settings average 242 FPS, which is 40 FPS below the 1080p Low result. Medium settings average 213 FPS with a minimum of 181 FPS and a maximum of 245 FPS, representing a 35 FPS drop from the 1080p Medium figure. High settings average 164 FPS, and Ultra settings average 156 FPS. The 1440p results show a pattern where the gap between Low and Medium (29 FPS) is smaller than the gap between Medium and High (49 FPS), indicating that higher settings at this resolution start to tax the GPU more significantly.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops are most severe. Low settings average 171 FPS, which is still highly playable but represents a 71 FPS drop from 1440p Low. Medium settings average 121 FPS with a minimum of 103 FPS and a maximum of 140 FPS, maintaining smooth gameplay throughout. High settings average 86 FPS, and Ultra settings average 82 FPS. The 4K results show that the RTX 4090's raw power keeps the game playable even at the highest settings, but the gap between Medium and High (35 FPS) and the small difference between High and Ultra (4 FPS) suggest that the Ultra preset offers diminishing returns at this resolution.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently shows the most balanced performance with the only recorded minimum and maximum FPS values in the dataset. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 211 FPS and maximum of 285 FPS span a 74 FPS range, while at 1440p Medium the range is 181 to 245 FPS (64 FPS spread), and at 4K Medium the range is 103 to 140 FPS (37 FPS spread). These narrower ranges at higher resolutions indicate more consistent frame delivery when the GPU is under heavier load.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting the highest possible frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 282 FPS, which is the maximum measured performance. However, this settings level sacrifices visual quality for speed, and given that even the Ultra preset at 1080p achieves 214 FPS, there is little reason to use Low settings at this resolution unless chasing maximum refresh rates on a 240 Hz or higher monitor.

At 1440p, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, with 213 FPS average and a minimum of 181 FPS. This preset provides a 49 FPS advantage over High settings (164 FPS) while maintaining a frame rate well above the 144 Hz refresh rate that is common on modern gaming monitors. The Ultra preset at 156 FPS is also viable for 144 Hz displays, but the 57 FPS gap between Medium and Ultra suggests that the visual improvements at Ultra may not justify the performance cost.

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset at 121 FPS is the recommended choice, as it provides smooth gameplay with a minimum of 103 FPS that keeps frame times stable. The High preset at 86 FPS is still playable on 60 Hz displays but may show noticeable dips in demanding scenes. The Ultra preset at 82 FPS is only marginally slower than High, so players who prioritize visual quality on a 4K display could opt for Ultra without significant penalty. The Low preset at 171 FPS at 4K is unnecessary, as the Medium preset delivers 50 FPS more than the 60 FPS target while offering substantially better visuals.

The data consistently shows that the Medium preset is the sweet spot for this combo across all resolutions, offering the most consistent frame delivery as evidenced by the recorded minimum and maximum values. Players with high refresh rate 1080p or 1440p monitors can confidently use High or Ultra settings, while 4K users should stick with Medium for the best experience. The RTX 4090's 24 GB of VRAM ensures that even the Medium preset at 4K has ample memory headroom, and the Ryzen 5 5600F's six cores are sufficient to feed the GPU at all settings levels tested.
