# Pc Building Simulator — AMD Ryzen 5 7400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090

This hardware combination, pairing AMD's 6-core Zen 4 desktop processor with NVIDIA's flagship Blackwell GPU, produces exceptional frame rates across all tested settings in Pc Building Simulator. The measured data shows this combo ranks 99th out of 3,002 tested combinations, placing it firmly in the top tier of systems for this simulation title. The following analysis breaks down how the system behaves across resolutions, what each component contributes, and which settings deliver the optimal experience.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a system where the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as pixel count rises, though even at 4K the performance remains remarkably high. At 1080p with High settings, the combo produces 266 FPS average. Moving to 1440p drops that to 168 FPS, a 36.8% reduction. At 4K, the average falls to 88 FPS, which represents a 66.9% decline from the 1080p figure. These scaling patterns indicate that Pc Building Simulator is not particularly demanding at lower resolutions for this hardware tier.

The Low settings progression shows even more dramatic scaling. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 370 FPS average. At 1440p Low, it achieves 318 FPS, and at 4K Low, it still manages 176 FPS. The 4K Low result is still higher than the 1080p Ultra result of 253 FPS, demonstrating that resolution scaling has a larger impact on frame rate than the settings preset does for this combination. The gap between 1080p and 4K at Low settings is 194 FPS, while the gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 117 FPS.

Medium settings provide the only rows with minimum and maximum frame rate data. At 1080p Medium, the system averages 326 FPS with a minimum of 277 and maximum of 374. At 1440p Medium, the average is 238 FPS with a range of 202 to 274. At 4K Medium, the average drops to 124 FPS with a range of 106 to 143. The consistency of these ranges—roughly 50 FPS between minimum and maximum at each resolution—suggests stable frame pacing without major hitches.

Ultra settings show the steepest resolution curve. The 1080p Ultra average of 253 FPS falls to 160 FPS at 1440p, then to 84 FPS at 4K. This 4K Ultra figure is the lowest measured result in the entire dataset, yet it still exceeds 60 FPS by a comfortable margin. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Ultra represents a 47.5% performance drop, which is slightly steeper than the High settings drop of 47.6% across the same resolution transition.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU likely becomes a limiting factor, particularly at Low settings where 370 FPS suggests the Ryzen 5 7400F's single-thread performance is the ceiling. As resolution increases, the RTX 5090's rasterization workload grows, and the frame rates scale accordingly. The 4K results, especially at Ultra, show the GPU taking on the primary limiting role while still delivering playable performance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 brings substantial hardware resources to this simulation title. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is far more than Pc Building Simulator requires at any tested resolution. The 4K Ultra result of 84 FPS with such memory capacity suggests the game is not memory-constrained at these settings, as even the most demanding configuration leaves ample bandwidth headroom.

Clock speeds for the RTX 5090 are listed with a base of 2017 MHz and boost of 2407 MHz. The memory operates at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed. These clocks, combined with 21,760 shading units and 680 tensor cores, produce 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. The GPU's 176 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s, which helps explain the strong 4K performance where pixel throughput becomes more relevant.

The GPU's benchmark scores contextualize its position. It achieves a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 18,355, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 334,370, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 376,728. In PassMark testing, it scores 39,650 in G3D and 26,756 in GPU compute. The GPU sits in the 92nd percentile versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 79,842.

In Pc Building Simulator specifically, the GPU's contribution becomes apparent when examining the 4K results. At 4K Ultra, the average of 84 FPS represents the system's lowest measured performance, but it remains comfortably above typical display refresh rates. The 4K High result of 88 FPS is only slightly better, suggesting that Ultra and High presets impose similar GPU workloads at this resolution. The 4K Medium result of 124 FPS shows a significant improvement, indicating that the Medium preset reduces GPU load enough to yield a 41% frame rate increase over Ultra.

The GPU's dual-slot design with a 304 mm length and 575 W TDP indicates a high-power component, and the suggested 950 W PSU requirement aligns with its power draw. The PCIe 5.0 x16 interface ensures no bandwidth bottleneck for this simulation title. The display outputs include one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b connectors, supporting high refresh rate monitors at the resolutions tested.
