Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a highly capable 1080p and 1440p experience in Pc Building Simulator, but the data clearly shows that the Ultra preset is the only setting tier that fails to maintain a fluid frame rate at higher resolutions. The measured results indicate that Medium settings offer the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, providing a substantial frame rate uplift over High while staying well ahead of the 60 FPS target at both 1080p and 1440p.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data strongly favors the Medium preset as the optimal configuration for this hardware combination. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers an average of 175.6 FPS, which is 42.3% higher than the High preset’s 123.4 FPS and 47.8% higher than Ultra’s 118.8 FPS. This performance headroom ensures consistent smoothness even during complex simulation scenes. At 2560x1440, Medium maintains an excellent 109.8 FPS, comfortably exceeding the 60 FPS threshold and providing a 39.9% improvement over High’s 78.5 FPS. The Ultra preset, while visually superior, drops to 76 FPS at 1440p and 37.6 FPS at 3840x2160, making it unsuitable for demanding resolutions.

For users prioritizing maximum visual quality, the High preset remains a viable option at 1440p with 78.5 FPS, but the jump to Ultra yields only a marginal 3.2% average frame rate reduction at 1080p while costing significantly more performance at higher resolutions. The Low preset, while delivering 249.6 FPS at 1080p and 156.3 FPS at 1440p, sacrifices too much visual detail for a simulation game where readability of PC components matters. Medium emerges as the clear recommendation, offering 109.8 FPS at 1440p and 175.6 FPS at 1080p — numbers that indicate the GPU has ample headroom for future driver optimizations.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER serves as the primary performance driver in this configuration, particularly at higher resolutions. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, the card provides substantial memory throughput for simulation workloads. The GPU’s boost clock of 1770 MHz, combined with 2560 shading units, yields 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which directly translates to the measured frame rates.

The benchmark results show a clear GPU-bound pattern at 4K. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates scale from 37.6 FPS at Ultra to 83.1 FPS at Low, indicating that the GPU is the bottleneck. The GPU’s percentile ranking of 65 against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22206, places it slightly above the GTX TITAN Z by 0.9% and 2.5% above the RX 5700. The card’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1651 and Passmark G3D score of 18169 confirm its mid-range positioning.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the combo achieves 175.6 FPS and 109.8 FPS on Medium respectively. However, at 4K Ultra, the 37.6 FPS result suggests that the GPU’s texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s are overwhelmed by the rendering demands. The RTX 2070 SUPER’s 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores provide ray tracing and DLSS capabilities, though these features are not reflected in the measured FPS data for Pc Building Simulator.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 2070 SUPER shows remarkable headroom across all settings. The Low preset achieves 249.6 FPS, Medium drops to 175.6 FPS, High settles at 123.4 FPS, and Ultra produces 118.8 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is minimal at just 4.6 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns in visual fidelity at this resolution. The 1080p results indicate the CPU has sufficient single-thread performance to feed the GPU, as evidenced by the 3dmark_single_thread score of 917 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2622.

At 2560x1440, the scaling is more pronounced. Low delivers 156.3 FPS, Medium maintains 109.8 FPS, High produces 78.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 76 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 2.5 FPS at 1440p, while the jump from Low to Medium costs 46.5 FPS. This suggests that Medium is the most efficient setting, providing 109.8 FPS while preserving visual quality.

At 3840x2160, performance drops significantly. Ultra yields 37.6 FPS, High produces 43.1 FPS, Medium reaches 58.3 FPS, and Low achieves 83.1 FPS. Even at Low settings, the 4K result falls below the 1080p Ultra figure, highlighting the GPU’s limitations at this resolution. The 4K Medium result of 58.3 FPS is the only 4K setting that approaches playability, though it still falls short of the 60 FPS target.

Resolution Scaling

The performance degradation from 1080p to 4K follows a consistent pattern across all settings, but the severity varies. At Medium settings, the frame rate drops from 175.6 FPS at 1080p to 109.8 FPS at 1440p (a 37.5% reduction), then further to 58.3 FPS at 4K (a 46.9% reduction from 1440p). This translates to a cumulative 66.8% loss from 1080p to 4K, which aligns with the pixel count increase from 2.07 million to 8.29 million.

The scaling behavior reveals that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at 4K. At 1080p Medium, the 175.6 FPS result suggests the CPU can keep up with the GPU’s output, but at 4K Medium, the 58.3 FPS figure indicates the GPU is saturated. The RTX 2070 SUPER’s 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 9.062 TFLOPS of compute are insufficient for 4K rendering at high detail levels. The Ultra preset shows the steepest drop, falling from 118.8 FPS at 1080p to 37.6 FPS at 4K, a 68.3% reduction, confirming that the GPU’s pixel fill rate of 113.3 GPixel/s is the bottleneck.

The scaling pattern suggests that for this combo, 1440p is the practical ceiling for high frame rates. The 109.8 FPS at 1440p Medium demonstrates that the GPU retains enough headroom for demanding simulation scenes, while the 4K results indicate that users should stick to 1080p or 1440p for smooth gameplay.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X provides the computational foundation for this combo, though its role varies by resolution. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, the CPU delivers strong single-thread performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2622 and 3dmark_single_thread score of 917. The 4.60 GHz boost clock and 32 MB L3 cache contribute to responsive gameplay in simulation titles.

At 1080p, the CPU’s influence is most apparent. The 249.6 FPS at Low settings suggests that the CPU can feed the GPU effectively, but the diminishing returns from Medium to High (175.6 to 123.4 FPS) indicate that GPU load dominates above Medium. The CPU’s Passmark single-thread score of 3364 positions it well for gaming, and its 78th percentile ranking against all CPUs reflects solid overall capability.

At 4K, the CPU becomes less relevant as the GPU takes over the performance bottleneck. The 83.1 FPS at 4K Low versus 37.6 FPS at 4K Ultra shows that the GPU’s rendering load dictates the frame rate, not the CPU’s processing power. The Ryzen 5 5600X’s 3dmark_16_threads score of 5582 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18578 indicate sufficient multi-threaded performance for background tasks, but gaming performance is primarily limited by the GPU at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1062 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the 60th percentile of all configurations. This ranking reflects the GPU’s mid-range positioning, as the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 65th percentile against all GPUs and the CPU’s 78th percentile combine to produce a solid but not top-tier gaming experience.

The ranking is consistent with the measured FPS data. At 1080p, the combo achieves 118.8 FPS at Ultra, which is competitive for the resolution. At 1440p, the 76 FPS at Ultra and 109.8 FPS at Medium demonstrate capable performance that many users would find satisfactory. The 4K results, however, pull the ranking down, as the 37.6 FPS at Ultra and 43.1 FPS at High fall below playable thresholds. The combo’s position in the 1062nd spot out of 1769 indicates that while it handles 1080p and 1440p well, it lacks the GPU horsepower for 4K gaming at high settings. The CPU’s strong single-thread performance ensures that the combo remains responsive in CPU-bound scenarios, but the GPU ultimately defines the overall ranking.
