Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Pc Building Simulator with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 reveals a clear pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers 319.8 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings drops that to 276.9 FPS, a reduction of 42.9 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low settings still produce 174.3 FPS, meaning the 4K figure is roughly 54.5% of the 1080p result.

The scaling pattern shifts when looking at higher presets. At Ultra settings, the frame rates are 244.5 FPS at 1080p, 157.9 FPS at 1440p, and 82 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is only about one-third of the 1080p Ultra figure. This indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is the limiting component — the Ryzen 5 5600G's six cores and twelve threads cap frame rates even with a powerful GPU. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary constraint, which is why the gap between Low and Ultra narrows from a factor of 1.31 at 1080p (319.8 vs 244.5) to a factor of 2.12 at 4K (174.3 vs 82).

The data shows that the RTX 4090 is underutilized at lower resolutions in this simulation title. At 1080p Low, the frame rate likely approaches the CPU's practical limit for this game engine. The 5600G, with its 3.90 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost clock, provides solid single-thread performance but cannot feed the RTX 4090 enough frames to reach its full potential. The difference between 1080p High (245.2 FPS) and 1440p High (164.6 FPS) is substantial, suggesting that resolution scaling is not linear and that the game's simulation logic becomes more demanding as pixel count increases.

A: The data does not indicate memory capacity as a limiting factor; the measured FPS figures suggest the game is not VRAM-bound even at 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a six-core, twelve-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. It operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform and features a base clock of 3.90 GHz with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. This configuration places it in the 78th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19983.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is significant at lower resolutions. The benchmark results show that at 1080p, the frame rates across settings are compressed: Low produces 319.8 FPS, Medium 280.4 FPS, High 245.2 FPS, and Ultra 244.5 FPS. The small delta between High and Ultra (0.7 FPS) suggests that beyond a certain point, the CPU cannot translate additional graphical settings into higher frame rates. The 5600G's single-thread performance, measured at 872 in 3dmark_single_thread and 2365 in cinebench_r23_singlecore, is adequate for this simulation genre but not exceptional.

The CPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the Intel Core i7-11600H (0.2% faster), Intel Core i7-11800H (0.2% slower), AMD EPYC 7713P (0.2% slower), and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX (0.3% faster). These deltas are negligible, meaning the 5600G's performance class is competitive with those processors. However, the RTX 4090's massive GPU resources — 16384 shading units, 128 RT cores, and 512 tensor cores — are likely underutilized when paired with this CPU at 1080p. The data indicates that the CPU becomes less of a bottleneck as resolution increases, which is consistent with typical rendering behavior.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, even Ultra settings deliver 244.5 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most monitors. The difference between High (245.2 FPS) and Ultra (244.5 FPS) is negligible, so there is no practical reason to choose High over Ultra at this resolution — the measured performance is essentially identical.

At 2560x1440, the choices become more consequential. Ultra delivers 157.9 FPS, which is still high for most displays. High produces 164.6 FPS, a gain of 6.7 FPS over Ultra. Medium offers 230.8 FPS, a substantial improvement. For users with 144Hz displays, either High or Ultra works well; for those seeking maximum smoothness, Medium at 230.8 FPS provides a significant margin above the 144Hz threshold.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. Ultra produces 82 FPS, which is below the 90 FPS threshold some users consider ideal. High delivers 86.2 FPS, a modest 4.2 FPS improvement. Medium reaches 122.8 FPS, which is a much more comfortable margin for 4K gaming. Low at 174.3 FPS is the only setting that approaches the frame rates seen at lower resolutions. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot at 4K, offering more than double the frame rate of Ultra while presumably maintaining reasonable visual quality in this simulation title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 102nd out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the configuration in the top 5.8% of all tested setups, which is strong but not near the top. The ranking reflects the CPU's position as a mid-range processor (78th percentile) paired with a high-end GPU (91st percentile). The RTX 4090's average benchmark score of 66473 places it among the top GPUs, but the 5600G's average of 19983 is more modest.

The rank of 102 suggests that while this combo performs well, there are 101 other combinations that achieve higher frame rates in this specific game. Given that the RTX 4090 is one of the most powerful consumer GPUs available, the ranking is likely constrained by the CPU. The 5600G's six cores and 16 MB of L3 cache are sufficient for many titles but may not fully exploit the RTX 4090's capabilities in a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, which often involves complex system state calculations.

The GPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the NVIDIA Tesla T4 (0.4% slower), NVIDIA Tesla P40 (0.5% slower), AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (0.9% slower), and NVIDIA Quadro P6000 (1.3% slower). These are all professional or workstation GPUs, which indicates that the RTX 4090's consumer-oriented performance is competitive with specialized hardware. The combo's rank of 102 out of 1769 means that only about 5.8% of tested combinations outperform it, which is a solid result for a pairing that mixes a budget-oriented CPU with a flagship GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are as follows: Low settings produce 319.8 FPS, Medium produces 280.4 FPS, High produces 245.2 FPS, and Ultra produces 244.5 FPS. The progression from Low to Medium results in a 39.4 FPS drop, from Medium to High a 35.2 FPS drop, and from High to Ultra a negligible 0.7 FPS drop. The data shows that the High and Ultra presets are effectively equivalent at this resolution, indicating a CPU-bound scenario.

At 2560x1440, the measured values are: Low at 276.9 FPS, Medium at 230.8 FPS, High at 164.6 FPS, and Ultra at 157.9 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 46.1 FPS, from Medium to High is 66.2 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 6.7 FPS. The larger gaps between Medium and High suggest that the GPU begins to take on more workload at this resolution, although the CPU still plays a significant role.

At 3840x2160, the measured values are: Low at 174.3 FPS, Medium at 122.8 FPS, High at 86.2 FPS, and Ultra at 82 FPS. The differences are: Low to Medium is 51.5 FPS, Medium to High is 36.6 FPS, and High to Ultra is 4.2 FPS. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, as the Ultra setting produces less than half the frame rate of Low. The data shows that the RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are not the bottleneck — rather, the compute load at higher settings scales significantly with pixel count.

The overall trend across all resolutions is that the gap between High and Ultra remains small (0.7 to 6.7 FPS), while the gap between Low and Medium is substantial (39.4 to 51.5 FPS). This suggests that the Medium preset offers the best balance between visual fidelity and performance, particularly at 1440p and 4K where the higher settings incur significant FPS penalties.
