At 1080p Low, the frame rate reaches 337.5 FPS, which is high enough to stress CPU limits, but the Ryzen 5 5600X's 12-thread configuration and single-thread performance (3,364 in PassMark) appear sufficient to keep up with the GPU's output without becoming a significant constraint.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary driver of performance in this combo, with its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is particularly relevant for Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that manages numerous assets and system state data, where the high bandwidth prevents texture streaming bottlenecks. The GPU's base clock of 2295 MHz and boost clock of 2550 MHz provide substantial compute throughput, with the AD103 chip's 10,240 shading units and 80 RT cores handling the game's rendering workload efficiently.

The GPU's 88th percentile ranking among all graphics cards (average benchmark score of 53,610) indicates it sits well above the median, though its nearest rivals show only marginal differences. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (53,489, 0.2% behind) and AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (53,414, 0.4% behind) demonstrate that the RTX 4080 SUPER's advantage over comparable alternatives is narrow in synthetic tests. However, the measured FPS data reveals that this GPU excels in Pc Building Simulator specifically, producing frame rates that are 2-3 times higher than what lower-tier GPUs would typically achieve in this title.

The GPU's 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 816.0 GTexel/s texture rate provide ample headroom for the game's simulation logic and rendering. The 45,900 million transistors on a 5 nm TSMC process (379 mm² die size) contribute to efficient power delivery, though the 320 W TDP and suggested 700 W PSU requirement indicate this is a power-hungry component. The triple-slot design and 310 mm length require substantial case clearance, but the PCIe 4.0 x16 interface ensures full bandwidth availability with the Ryzen 5 5600X's Gen 4 support.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest performance, with Low settings producing 337.5 FPS average. Medium settings reduce this to 295.3 FPS, while High settings yield 235.8 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 224.8 FPS, still far exceeding the 144 Hz refresh rate common in gaming monitors. The pattern shows a 33.4% reduction from Low to Ultra, indicating that the GPU's rendering load increases substantially with higher quality presets, but the RTX 4080 SUPER's compute resources absorb this without falling below 200 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show more pronounced settings scaling. Low settings produce 290.1 FPS, Medium drops to 211.7 FPS, and High settings deliver 144.4 FPS. Ultra settings bottom out at 140.3 FPS. The transition from Low to Ultra at 1440p represents a 51.6% reduction, reflecting the increased pixel count and shading demands. Notably, the gap between High (144.4 FPS) and Ultra (140.3 FPS) is just 2.9%, suggesting diminishing returns from the highest quality preset at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve steepens significantly. Low settings yield 157 FPS, Medium drops to 108 FPS, and High settings produce 77 FPS. Ultra settings fall to 75.1 FPS, which is the only configuration that approaches the 60 FPS threshold. The reduction from Low to Ultra at 4K is 52.2%, similar to the 1440p scaling but with much lower absolute values. This indicates that 4K gaming with this combo is viable, but users must accept either high frame rates at lower settings or playable frame rates at maximum quality.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the limiting component. At Low settings, the drop from 337.5 FPS (1080p) to 290.1 FPS (1440p) to 157 FPS (4K) shows a 53.5% reduction from 1080p to 4K. This scaling pattern suggests the GPU becomes increasingly stressed as pixel count quadruples, but the CPU maintains sufficient headroom to keep frame rates high even at 1080p where CPU overhead is most significant.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is more dramatic: 224.8 FPS at 1080p drops to 140.3 FPS at 1440p (a 37.6% reduction) and then to 75.1 FPS at 4K (a 66.6% reduction from 1080p). The steeper decline at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU's rendering pipeline, rather than the CPU, is the primary bottleneck when quality settings are maximized. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB VRAM and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth handle the increased texture and shader demands at 4K, but the pixel throughput requirements eventually outpace the GPU's compute capacity.

The data shows that at 1080p, the combo is likely CPU-limited at lower settings — the 337.5 FPS at Low versus 224.8 FPS at Ultra demonstrates that the Ryzen 5 5600X's 6-core, 12-thread configuration can generate high frame rates but cannot fully saturate the GPU's potential when quality settings are reduced. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor, with even Low settings (157 FPS) showing the resolution's impact on rendering load. This analysis confirms that the combo is best suited for 1440p gaming, where it delivers over 140 FPS at all settings while maintaining balanced CPU-GPU utilization.
