The pairing of a mid-range 2024 CPU with an integrated-class GPU from Intel's Panther Lake generation produces playable results only at the lowest settings and resolutions, with the GPU acting as the clear performance ceiling throughout the benchmark suite.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 2650 out of 3002 tested configurations places it firmly in the lower quartile of all systems measured for Pc Building Simulator. This ranking reflects a fundamental imbalance: the CPU sits in the 74th percentile against all processors, while the GPU languishes in the 9th percentile against all graphics cards. The data suggests that roughly 88% of tested system combinations deliver higher average frame rates in this simulation title.

Benchmark results indicate that the Arc B390's average benchmark score of 1482 places it just 1.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, 1.5% ahead of the GeForce 800M, and 2.5-2.7% ahead of the GT 625 OEM and GT 710 respectively. These are all legacy or entry-level mobile-class parts, which contextualizes the GPU's performance tier. The Ryzen 5 5600GT, by contrast, posts an average benchmark score of 20733, sitting within 0.3-0.5% of rivals like the Intel Core i5-12490F, Intel Xeon 6325P, Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, and AMD EPYC 7J13.

The measured FPS data reinforces this ranking. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 125 FPS, which is respectable, but at 4K Ultra it falls to 20 FPS. The spread between the best and worst measured results spans 105 FPS, indicating that settings and resolution choices dramatically affect playability. For a simulation game that may involve complex system-building scenarios, the low-end performance at higher presets suggests users will need to make significant visual compromises to maintain smooth gameplay.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics processor built on the Xe3-LPG architecture, fabricated on Intel's 3 nm process. It features 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 raster output units, along with 12 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz, delivering a pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s. Floating point performance is rated at 7.680 TFLOPS for FP32 and 15.36 TFLOPS for FP16 (2:1 ratio).

The most defining characteristic of this GPU is its memory configuration: the Arc B390 uses System Shared memory, meaning it draws from the host system's DDR4 RAM rather than dedicated VRAM. The memory bus width, bandwidth, and total size are all listed as system-dependent, which means performance can vary based on the CPU's memory configuration. The Ryzen 5 5600GT supports dual-channel DDR4 with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, which becomes the effective bandwidth ceiling for the GPU.

In Pc Building Simulator, this shared memory architecture shows its limitations at higher resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the system averages 88 FPS, but at 4K Medium it drops to 29 FPS. The GPU's 9th percentile ranking against all GPUs explains why frame rates scale so poorly with resolution increases. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482 confirms this is an entry-level graphics solution, despite supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of resolution sensitivity that points to the GPU as the limiting component. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the average FPS drops from 62 to 39, a 37% reduction. Continuing to 4K High, the average falls to 21 FPS, representing a 66% drop from the 1080p baseline. This steep degradation curve is characteristic of a GPU that lacks sufficient memory bandwidth and processing power for high-resolution rendering.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more dramatic in absolute terms. The system delivers 125 FPS at 1080p, 79 FPS at 1440p, and 41 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 4K transition at Low settings shows a 67% performance loss, which is proportionally similar to the High preset drop. This consistency across presets indicates that resolution is the dominant performance factor, not the quality settings themselves.

Medium settings provide the most complete data set, with minimum and maximum FPS recorded at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the average of 88 FPS comes with a minimum of 75 and maximum of 102. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 56 FPS with a range of 47-64. At 4K Medium, the average is 29 FPS with a range of 25-34. The narrowing FPS range at higher resolutions suggests the GPU is becoming consistently saturated, leaving less variance in frame times.

Ultra settings show the system at its weakest: 59 FPS at 1080p, 38 FPS at 1440p, and 20 FPS at 4K. The 1080p Ultra result of 59 FPS is barely above the 4K Low result of 41 FPS, illustrating that the GPU's processing limits are reached well before the CPU becomes a factor.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p gameplay, the data supports Medium settings as the optimal balance. The 88 FPS average at Medium provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, with the minimum of 75 FPS ensuring consistent frame delivery. High settings at 62 FPS are workable but leave less headroom, while Ultra at 59 FPS dips below the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings at 125 FPS are smooth but unnecessary given the Medium preset's strong performance.

At 1440p, Low settings at 79 FPS are the only preset that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS. Medium settings at 56 FPS are borderline playable, but the 47 FPS minimum could result in noticeable stutter during complex simulation scenes. High and Ultra settings at 39 and 38 FPS respectively are below the threshold for smooth gameplay in a simulation title where menu navigation and system building require precise inputs.

At 4K, the data indicates that only Low settings at 41 FPS are viable, and even this result is marginal. Medium at 29 FPS, High at 21 FPS, and Ultra at 20 FPS all fall below acceptable playability standards. Users with 4K displays should consider running the game at a lower resolution or accepting significant visual compromises.

The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: the Medium preset offers the best visual quality per frame rate cost at 1080p, while Low becomes necessary at higher resolutions. The gap between Low and Medium at 1080p is 37 FPS (125 vs 88), while the gap between Medium and High is 26 FPS (88 vs 62). This suggests diminishing returns from Medium upward, with the GPU struggling to maintain quality settings as resolution increases.
