Pc Building Simulator

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Pc Building Simulator with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 shows a clear pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combination produces 248.6 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 Ultra drops this to 158.4 FPS, a reduction of approximately 36%. The jump to 3840x2160 Ultra yields 85.1 FPS, which is another 46% decline from the 1440p figure.

This scaling behavior reveals that the system is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions. The RTX 4090, with its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 384-bit bus width delivering 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, handles the increased pixel throughput at 4K, but the frame rate still falls to levels that are playable yet noticeably lower than the high-refresh-rate territory seen at 1080p. The gap between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution is substantial: at 4K, Low delivers 173.9 FPS while Ultra drops to 85.1 FPS, a spread of 88.8 FPS. At 1080p, the same settings spread is 90.5 FPS (339.1 versus 248.6), indicating that the game's settings scaling remains consistent regardless of resolution.

The fact that 4K Ultra produces 85.1 FPS while 4K Low reaches 173.9 FPS suggests that Pc Building Simulator's visual effects at higher settings impose a significant rendering cost. The RTX 4090's 128 ray tracing cores and 512 tensor cores are present, but the simulation-focused nature of this title means traditional rasterization performance dominates. The data indicates that at 1080p and 1440p, the frame rates exceed 240 FPS at Ultra, which far outpaces typical display refresh rates, while 4K brings the experience into the 85-120 FPS range depending on settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this pairing. Its boost clock of 2520 MHz and 16384 shading units provide immense raw compute throughput, reflected in the 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 performance. The GPU's 24 GB frame buffer is more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator, which is not a memory-intensive title; the data shows no indication of VRAM limitations at any tested resolution or settings combination.

The RTX 4090's 1.01 TB/s memory bandwidth becomes relevant when examining the 4K results. At 3840x2160, the pixel throughput demands substantial memory traffic, and the bandwidth figure allows the GPU to maintain consistent frame delivery. The GPU's 176 ROPs handle the final pixel output, and the 443.5 GPixel/s pixel rate supports the observed 4K frame rates. The benchmark results show the RTX 4090's percentileVsAllGpus score of 91, placing it in the top tier of GPUs.

Interestingly, the nearest rivals listed for the RTX 4090 include the NVIDIA Tesla T4 with a deltaPct of -0.4, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at -0.9, and the NVIDIA Quadro P6000 at -1.3. These are compute-oriented or professional cards rather than gaming-focused alternatives, which reflects the benchmark database's categorization. The RTX 4090's avgBenchmarkScore of 66473 positions it well above most consumer GPUs, and in this simulation title, the data shows it never becomes the bottleneck at 1080p or 1440p, where frame rates exceed 248 FPS even at Ultra settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT provides six cores and twelve threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This 5000-series processor has a 65 W TDP and uses the AM4 socket. The CPU's benchmark scores show a cinebench_r23_multicore result of 17272 and a single-core score of 2438. The 3DMark tests reveal scaling from 913 single-thread to 5554 max-threads, indicating reasonable multithreading efficiency.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is secondary to the GPU but still relevant at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 Low, the system achieves 339.1 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra it reaches 248.6 FPS. These figures suggest that even at 1080p, the RTX 4090 is not fully saturated, and the Ryzen 5 5600GT's single-thread performance of 913 in 3DMark single-thread test may impose some ceiling. The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus score of 78 indicates it performs better than 78% of all CPUs in the database.

The Ryzen 5 5600GT's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-10700 with a deltaPct of 0, the Intel Core i5-12490F at -0.3, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X at 0.3. These deltas show the 5600GT sits within a tight performance band around these comparable processors. The CPU's avgBenchmarkScore of 20740 is nearly identical to the i7-10700's 20746. In this game, the CPU appears sufficient to feed the RTX 4090 at 4K, where frame rates are GPU-limited, but at 1080p the data suggests the CPU becomes a more noticeable factor, particularly at Low settings where the GPU could theoretically render even faster.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides twelve distinct data points across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 339.1 FPS average, Medium reaches 299.2 FPS, High achieves 259.4 FPS, and Ultra produces 248.6 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs approximately 40 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs only about 11 FPS, indicating diminishing returns at the highest settings.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low yields 287.9 FPS, Medium 232.8 FPS, High 167 FPS, and Ultra 158.4 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 8.6 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional effects have minimal impact at this resolution. The Medium to High step is the largest drop at 65.8 FPS, which may indicate a significant visual quality tier change between these presets.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates compress further. Low produces 173.9 FPS, Medium 120 FPS, High 87.5 FPS, and Ultra 85.1 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 2.4 FPS, making the Ultra preset essentially free in performance terms at this resolution. The Medium to High transition at 4K costs 32.5 FPS, which is proportionally similar to the 1440p drop. The overall data shows that the RTX 4090 maintains playable frame rates at all settings and resolutions, with the lowest figure being 85.1 FPS at 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 71st out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 4% of all configurations. The rank reflects the RTX 4090's dominance in this simulation title, where the GPU's raw rasterization power translates directly into high frame rates. The CPU's contribution is adequate but not exceptional; the 5600GT's 78th percentile CPU score is respectable, but the GPU's 91st percentile score carries the combo.

The ranking suggests that the RTX 4090 can boost even a mid-range CPU pairing to near-top-tier performance in this game. The data shows that the CPU bottleneck at 1080p does not prevent the combo from achieving 248.6 FPS at Ultra, which is far above what most displays can show. At 4K, the CPU becomes irrelevant as the GPU workload dominates, and the combo's 71st rank reflects strong overall performance.

Compared to other combos in the database, this pairing's 4K Ultra result of 85.1 FPS and 1440p Ultra result of 158.4 FPS indicate that it outperforms the vast majority of configurations. The rank of 71 out of 1769 suggests that only a handful of combos, likely those pairing the RTX 4090 with faster CPUs, achieve better results. The 5600GT's performance is sufficient to avoid being a significant drag on the overall ranking, as evidenced by the 1440p results exceeding 150 FPS even at Ultra settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset at 248.6 FPS is the best choice for users with high-refresh-rate monitors, as it provides the maximum visual quality while still delivering frame rates far above 144 Hz. The drop from Ultra to High at 1080p is only 10.8 FPS, so users preferring maximum settings should choose Ultra without concern.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset delivers 158.4 FPS, which is still excellent for most high-refresh displays. However, the High preset at 167 FPS is only 8.6 FPS faster, making Ultra clearly preferable for visual quality. The Medium preset at 232.8 FPS offers a substantial performance boost for users with 240 Hz displays, but the visual downgrade from Ultra is noticeable in the data. For 1440p, Ultra is recommended for its balance of quality and performance.

At 3840x2160, the High preset at 87.5 FPS and Ultra at 85.1 FPS are nearly identical in performance, with only a 2.4 FPS difference. This makes Ultra the logical choice at 4K, as it provides the best visual quality at a negligible performance cost. The Medium preset at 120 FPS is attractive for users seeking higher refresh rates at 4K, but the step down from Ultra to Medium costs 34.9 FPS, suggesting a significant visual quality reduction. The Low preset at 173.9 FPS is only recommended for users with 144 Hz 4K displays who prioritize frame rate over all visual fidelity, as the jump from Low to Medium costs 53.9 FPS.

Overall, the data indicates that the Ultra preset is the best experience at 1080p and 1440p, while at 4K, both High and Ultra are viable, with Ultra offering the same performance as High while providing superior visuals.
