Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 lands at rank 474 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. That places this configuration in the top 27% of all pairings the database has measured for this title, a strong showing for a mid-generation 6-core CPU and a 40-series GPU. The combo’s percentile standing reflects a balanced system, though the data suggests the GPU carries more of the load at higher resolutions while the CPU flexes its muscles at 1080p. For a simulation game that can be sensitive to both processor logic and rendering throughput, this pairing delivers a smooth experience across the board, with only the most demanding 4K Ultra settings dipping below the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured rank of 474 out of 1769 combos places this setup in the 73rd percentile of all tested configurations for Pc Building Simulator. That is a solid, above-average result, but not an elite one — the top quartile is occupied by systems with newer CPUs or higher-tier GPUs. The CPU itself sits at the 78th percentile against all processors in the database, while the GPU holds the 81st percentile against all graphics cards. The slight gap between the two percentiles hints that the RTX 4070 is the stronger component relative to its peers, and the benchmark data supports this: the GPU’s average benchmark score of 37283 is within 2.5% of its nearest rivals, while the CPU’s average of 20680 trails its closest competitor by 0.3%.

Comparing the CPU to its immediate rivals, the Ryzen 5 5600X scores a near-identical average of 20680 versus the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT’s 20740 (a 0.3% deficit) and the Intel Core i7-10700’s 20746 (also 0.3% behind). Against the Intel Core i5-12490F, the 5600X trails by 0.5%, but it leads the Intel Xeon 6325P by 0.7%. These are negligible differences, meaning the 5600X is performance-competitive with its direct peers, but it does not outclass them. On the GPU side, the RTX 4070’s average of 37283 is 0.6% behind the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 and 1.9% behind the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A, while leading the AMD Radeon RX 5300M by 2.5%. The RTX 4070 is also 2.2% behind the RTX 4080 Mobile, a laptop part that surprisingly edges it out in aggregate scores.

For Pc Building Simulator specifically, the rank indicates that this combo handles the game’s workload comfortably. The game is not a heavy AAA title demanding top-tier hardware; instead, it rewards mid-range components with high frame rates. The 5600X’s 6 cores and 12 threads, combined with the RTX 4070’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, prove sufficient to push frame rates well beyond display refresh rates at most settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data points toward High settings as the sweet spot for this combo. At 1080p High, the system delivers 183.3 FPS, which is 10 frames above the Ultra preset’s 173 FPS but still well below the 337.6 FPS of Low settings. The jump from High to Ultra costs roughly 10 FPS at 1080p, 3.3 FPS at 1440p, and 3.5 FPS at 4K, while Medium to High gains are larger: 75.7 FPS at 1080p, 48.1 FPS at 1440p, and 23.6 FPS at 4K. High settings offer the best balance of visual fidelity and performance headroom, especially for 1440p and 4K displays.

At 1440p, High settings produce 114.7 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay, and even Ultra holds at 111.4 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at this resolution is a mere 3.3 FPS, making Ultra a viable choice if you want maximum quality without a noticeable penalty. However, at 4K, the difference becomes more pronounced: High hits 62.9 FPS, while Ultra drops to 59.4 FPS — just below the 60 FPS line. For 4K users, High is the recommended preset to maintain a stable frame rate, as it provides a 3.5 FPS advantage over Ultra while looking nearly identical in a simulation context.

Low settings are only useful if you prioritize raw frame rates above all else, pushing the system to 337.6 FPS at 1080p and 232 FPS at 1440p. But for a game like Pc Building Simulator, where you are inspecting components and managing a workshop, those extra frames are unnecessary. Medium settings offer a middle ground, with 259 FPS at 1080p and 162.8 FPS at 1440p, but the visual jump to High is worth the modest FPS cost.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck lies. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 105.6 FPS (from 337.6 to 232), and then another 107.9 FPS to 4K (124.1). That is a steep decline, but Low settings are GPU-bound, and the RTX 4070’s 12 GB frame buffer and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are being pushed hard at higher pixel counts. At Medium settings, the decline is smoother: 259 FPS at 1080p, 162.8 at 1440p, and 86.5 at 4K. The 4K Medium result is still playable, indicating the GPU has enough headroom for moderate settings at ultra-high resolution.

High settings show a similar pattern: 183.3 FPS at 1080p, 114.7 at 1440p, and 62.9 at 4K. The 4K High result is the critical data point — it sits just above 60 FPS, suggesting the GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU’s 6 cores are not holding back the frame rate at 4K, as evidenced by the fact that lowering settings from High to Medium at 4K yields a 23.6 FPS improvement (86.5 vs 62.9). If the CPU were the bottleneck, that settings change would produce a smaller gain.

At 1080p, the system is likely CPU-bound, especially at Low settings where the 5600X’s 12 threads are the constraint. The 337.6 FPS Low result is a classic CPU-limited scenario — the GPU is waiting on the processor to feed it frames. The 5600X’s boost clock of 4.60 GHz and 32 MB of L3 cache help here, but the ceiling is clear. For 1440p and 4K, the RTX 4070 takes over as the primary driver, which is why High and Ultra settings scale more predictably with resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers a wide spread of results. Low settings hit 337.6 FPS, Medium drops to 259 FPS, High falls to 183.3 FPS, and Ultra lands at 173 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 78.6 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is only 10.3 FPS — a sign that Ultra is not much more demanding than High at this resolution. Even the lowest result at 1080p, Ultra at 173 FPS, is far beyond what any standard monitor can display, so this resolution is overkill for this game.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers remain high. Low settings produce 232 FPS, Medium reaches 162.8 FPS, High delivers 114.7 FPS, and Ultra holds at 111.4 FPS. The Ultra-to-High delta is a mere 3.3 FPS, making Ultra the obvious choice for 1440p users who want maximum quality without sacrificing smoothness. The 1440p results are consistent with a GPU that has ample bandwidth, and the 12 GB VRAM is not a limiting factor at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates become more modest. Low settings still manage 124.1 FPS, Medium drops to 86.5 FPS, High falls to 62.9 FPS, and Ultra just misses the 60 FPS mark at 59.4 FPS. The 4K Low result is impressive, proving the RTX 4070 can handle 4K gaming when settings are reduced. However, for a visually rich simulation, High is the practical ceiling, as it stays above 60 FPS. The Ultra result, while playable, is not ideal for a game where you might be scrutinizing fine details on a 4K display.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, with 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, is more than adequate for Pc Building Simulator. The game’s assets — PC cases, motherboards, and cooling components — do not demand massive texture loads, so the VRAM capacity is rarely taxed. The GPU’s boost clock of 2475 MHz and 5888 shading units provide the raw compute necessary to push high frame rates at 1440p and 4K. The 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are largely irrelevant in this title, which has no ray tracing or DLSS implementation, but they do not hurt performance.

The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 26927 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 3854 confirm its mid-to-high-end positioning. In this game, the RTX 4070 demonstrates its strength through the 4K Low result of 124.1 FPS, which is 61.7 FPS higher than the 4K High result. That delta indicates the GPU is highly responsive to settings changes, a trait that gives users flexibility. The 200 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU are standard for this class, and the dual-slot design fits most cases without issue.

The GPU’s percentile rank of 81 places it slightly above the CPU’s 78, and the measured FPS data reflects this hierarchy. At 1080p, the CPU limits performance, but at 4K, the GPU’s capabilities define the experience. The RTX 4070 is the component you would upgrade first if you wanted better 4K performance, but for this game, it is already sufficient at High settings.
