# Performance Analysis: Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 5 7500F + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

The data set for Pc Building Simulator with the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 shows a combination that is heavily constrained by the graphics card. The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 part with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, sits in the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU, a Turing-based GTX 1650 with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, ranks in the 43rd percentile among all GPUs. This imbalance is clear in the measured frame rates, which range from 19.4 FPS at 4K Ultra to 110.2 FPS at 1080p Low. The benchmark results indicate that the GTX 1650 is the limiting factor across almost every resolution and settings combination, with the CPU’s headroom going largely unused.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent, revealing a graphics-bound workload. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 110.2 at 1920x1080 to 70.4 at 2560x1440, then to 36.4 at 3840x2160. That represents a 36% decline from 1080p to 1440p, followed by a 48% drop from 1440p to 4K. This scaling pattern is typical for a GPU with a 128-bit memory bus and 128.1 GB/s of bandwidth, as pixel throughput requirements outpace what the GTX 1650 can deliver.

At Medium settings, the same trend holds: 76.7 FPS at 1080p, 50 FPS at 1440p, and 26.5 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are nearly identical (35% and 47%), suggesting that the GPU’s compute and memory resources are being saturated in a linear fashion as resolution increases. High settings follow suit with 52.1, 32.9, and 19.9 FPS across the three resolutions, while Ultra settings produce 48.5, 33, and 19.4 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at each resolution is small—less than 4 FPS at 1080p and less than 1 FPS at 4K—indicating that the game’s Ultra preset adds visual detail without proportionally taxing the hardware further.

The data shows that 1080p is the only resolution where this combo approaches playable frame rates across all settings. At 1440p, Low settings hit 70.4 FPS, but Medium drops to 50 FPS and High falls to 32.9 FPS, making 1440p marginal for anything above Low. At 4K, even the Low preset at 36.4 FPS is below the typical 60 FPS target, and Ultra at 19.4 FPS is a slideshow. The limiting component is unequivocally the GPU; the Ryzen 5 7500F, with a passmark multithread score of 26825 and a single-thread score of 3841, has ample compute headroom to drive far more frames than the GTX 1650 can render.

GPU Role

The GTX 1650’s specifications explain its performance ceiling in Pc Building Simulator. It has 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs, running at a base clock of 1485 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz. The 4 GB of GDDR5 memory operates at 2001 MHz with an 8 Gbps effective rate, yielding a bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s. In a simulation game like this, which often involves rendering detailed PC components and case interiors, the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are critical. The pixel rate of 53.28 GPixel/s and texture rate of 93.24 GTexel/s are modest by modern standards, and the 2.984 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is a fraction of what newer cards offer.

The GPU’s benchmark scores reinforce this. Its passmark G3D score is 7880, placing it in the 43rd percentile, with nearest rivals including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile (deltaPct -0.4) and AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 (deltaPct -0.5). The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 305 is low, reflecting the card’s age—it was released on 2019-04-22 and is now end-of-life. The 4 GB VRAM is also a limiting factor at higher resolutions; while Pc Building Simulator may not be VRAM-hungry compared to AAA titles, the data shows that 4K Ultra still only achieves 19.4 FPS, which is more about raw compute than memory capacity.

The CPU’s role in this combo is secondary but not irrelevant. The Ryzen 5 7500F, with 6 cores and 12 threads, has a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22799 and a single-core score of 3218. Its nearest CPU rivals—the Intel Core i7-11850H (deltaPct 0.1) and AMD Ryzen 5 8400F (deltaPct -0.3)—show that it is a mid-range performer, but in this game, the CPU is rarely the bottleneck. The fact that frame rates scale almost perfectly with resolution changes (e.g., 110.2 to 70.4 to 36.4 FPS at Low) indicates that the workload is predominantly GPU-bound, leaving the CPU with significant idle capacity.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this CPU/GPU combo in Pc Building Simulator?

A: The data shows that 1920x1080 is the only resolution where all settings presets achieve playable frame rates. At 1080p, even Ultra settings produce 48.5 FPS, while 1440p Low hits 70.4 FPS but Medium falls to 50 FPS. 4K is not viable, with the highest measured average being 36.4 FPS at Low settings.

Q: How much does the Ultra preset cost in performance compared to Low at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 48.5 FPS, while Low averages 110.2 FPS. This represents a 61.7 FPS difference, meaning Ultra runs at about 44% of the Low preset’s frame rate. The Medium preset at 76.7 FPS offers a middle ground.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 7500F holding back the GTX 1650?

A: No. The CPU’s benchmark scores—Cinebench R23 multicore of 22799 and single-core of 3218, with a passmark multithread score of 26825—indicate it is far more capable than the GPU. The frame rate drops across resolutions (e.g., from 70.4 FPS at 1440p Low to 36.4 FPS at 4K Low) are consistent with GPU limitations, not CPU bottlenecks.

Q: How does this combo compare to other tested combinations in the database?

A: This combo ranks 1674 out of 1769 tested combinations in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the bottom 6% of all tested systems. This low rank is driven by the GTX 1650’s 43rd percentile GPU ranking, while the CPU ranks in the 82nd percentile.

Q: What settings should be avoided at 1440p and 4K?

A: At 2560x1440, High and Ultra settings produce 32.9 FPS and 33 FPS respectively, which are below smooth playability. At 3840x2160, all settings are below 40 FPS, with High at 19.9 FPS and Ultra at 19.4 FPS. Only Low settings at 1440p (70.4 FPS) approach 60 FPS.

Q: Does the GTX 1650’s 4 GB VRAM cause issues in this game?

A: The measured data does not indicate VRAM-specific failures, but the 4 GB GDDR5 memory with 128.1 GB/s bandwidth likely contributes to the steep performance drop at 4K. At 3840x2160, even Low settings only reach 36.4 FPS, suggesting both compute and memory bandwidth are insufficient for high-resolution rendering.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the best experience for this combo is at 1920x1080 with Medium settings. This preset averages 76.7 FPS, which provides a smooth experience while maintaining visual fidelity above the Low preset. The Medium preset at 1080p is 24.5 FPS faster than High (76.7 vs 52.1) and 28.2 FPS faster than Ultra (76.7 vs 48.5), making it the optimal balance between performance and quality for a simulation game where reading text on PC components matters.

For users who prioritize frame rate above all else, 1080p Low at 110.2 FPS is the best option, but the visual downgrade is significant. At 2560x1440, the only acceptable setting is Low, which achieves 70.4 FPS; Medium drops to 50 FPS, which may be playable but is below the 60 FPS threshold. High and Ultra at 1440p (32.9 FPS and 33 FPS) are not recommended. At 3840x2160, no setting achieves playable frame rates—the highest is Low at 36.4 FPS—so 4K should be avoided entirely unless the user accepts a slideshow-like experience.

The data suggests that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming with Medium settings, or 1440p with Low settings. The GTX 1650’s 75 W TDP and lack of power connectors make it a low-power card, but its performance ceiling is clear. The CPU’s 5.00 GHz boost clock does not translate into higher frame rates because the GPU is saturated at all settings above Low at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Pc Building Simulator, this setup ranks 1674 out of 1769 combos, placing it in the bottom 5.4% of all tested systems. This is a very low ranking, driven almost entirely by the GPU. The GTX 1650’s average benchmark score is 8713, with a percentile rank of 43, meaning it performs worse than 57% of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals—the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile (deltaPct -0.4) and AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 (deltaPct -0.5)—all have similar scores, indicating a cluster of low-to-mid-range GPUs.

In contrast, the Ryzen 5 7500F is a comparatively strong CPU, with an average benchmark score of 24993 and a percentile rank of 82. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11850H, is within 0.1% of its score, while the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X trails by 0.3%. The CPU’s passmark multithread score of 26825 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22799 show it is a capable processor, but in this game, that capability is wasted because the GTX 1650 cannot keep up. The combo rank of 1674 out of 1769 is a reflection of the GPU’s low standing, not the CPU’s.

The delta between the CPU’s 82nd percentile and the GPU’s 43rd percentile is stark. If the GTX 1650 were paired with a weaker CPU, the frame rates might be similar, but the combo rank would likely be the same. This indicates that users looking to improve performance in Pc Building Simulator should focus on upgrading the GPU first. The measured FPS data supports this: at 1080p Low, the combo hits 110.2 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it falls to 19.4 FPS, a 90.8 FPS swing that is purely GPU-driven.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full set of measured average frame rates is as follows. At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 110.2 FPS, Medium averages 76.7 FPS, High averages 52.1 FPS, and Ultra averages 48.5 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 61.7 FPS, with the largest jump occurring between Low and Medium (33.5 FPS). The step from Medium to High is 24.6 FPS, while High to Ultra is only 3.6 FPS, indicating diminishing returns at the top end.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 70.4 FPS, Medium averages 50 FPS, High averages 32.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 33 FPS. Interestingly, Ultra is slightly higher than High at this resolution (33 vs 32.9 FPS), which is likely measurement noise but shows that High and Ultra are essentially identical in cost. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low is 39.8 FPS, while at Medium it is 26.7 FPS, at High it is 19.2 FPS, and at Ultra it is 15.5 FPS. This pattern shows that higher settings scale better with resolution because they are already GPU-bound.

At 3840x2160, Low averages 36.4 FPS, Medium averages 26.5 FPS, High averages 19.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 19.4 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is severe: 34 FPS at Low, 23.5 FPS at Medium, 13 FPS at High, and 13.6 FPS at Ultra. The 4K Low to Ultra spread is 17 FPS, which is smaller than at 1080p (61.7 FPS) and 1440p (37.4 FPS), confirming that the GPU is completely saturated at 4K regardless of settings. The highest measured frame rate in the entire data set is 110.2 FPS (1080p Low), and the lowest is 19.4 FPS (4K Ultra), a range of 90.8 FPS across the tested configurations.
