Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers strong 1080p and 1440p performance in Pc Building Simulator, but 4K Ultra remains below 60 FPS. Measured results show 127.7 FPS at 1080p Ultra and 44.6 FPS at 4K Ultra, indicating a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. The combo ranks 991st out of 1769 tested configurations, placing it in the lower half of the database.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is less than the pixel count increase, revealing a shift in the limiting component. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 268.5 FPS; at 1440p Low it falls to 167.2 FPS (a 37.7% reduction), and at 4K Low it drops to 89.8 FPS (a 46.3% reduction from 1440p). Pixel counts increase by 1.78x from 1080p to 1440p and by 2.25x from 1440p to 4K, yet the FPS reductions are smaller than these factors. This indicates that at 1080p the CPU is the primary limiter, while at 4K the GPU takes over. The same pattern holds for High settings: 134 FPS at 1080p, 84.6 at 1440p (36.9% drop), and 44.7 at 4K (47.2% drop). For Ultra, the numbers are 127.7, 79.4, and 44.6, with a 37.8% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 43.8% drop from 1440p to 4K. The near-identical 4K High and Ultra results (44.7 vs 44.6) confirm that the RTX 4060 is fully saturated at that resolution, and the CPU is no longer a factor.

GPU Role

The RTX 4060 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 272.0 GB/s bandwidth. In Pc Building Simulator, this memory configuration is sufficient for the game's textures, as evidenced by the performance at 4K Medium (60.2 FPS). The GPU's boost clock of 2460 MHz and 3072 shading units contribute to its 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 throughput. The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 19545 places it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, meaning it outperforms 66% of tested graphics cards. Its nearest rivals include the RX 6600M (23321, -0.6%) and GTX 780 Ti (23338, -0.7%), showing that the RTX 4060 is competitive with those older or mobile parts. The 8 GB VRAM is not a limiting factor in this game, as even at 4K Ultra the frame rate is limited by compute rather than memory capacity. The GPU's launch MSRP is 299 USD.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 268.5 FPS on Low, 190.6 on Medium, 134 on High, and 127.7 on Ultra. These numbers indicate that even at Ultra, the frame rate is far above the 60 FPS threshold, making 1080p a non-issue. At 2560x1440, Low yields 167.2 FPS, Medium 120.7, High 84.6, and Ultra 79.4. All settings at 1440p remain above 60 FPS, with Ultra still providing a smooth experience. At 3840x2160, Low drops to 89.8 FPS, Medium to 60.2, High to 44.7, and Ultra to 44.6. Only Low and Medium achieve 60 FPS or higher at 4K. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is just 0.1 FPS, indicating that the GPU is fully saturated and the extra settings have negligible impact.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p, Ultra is the clear choice, delivering 127.7 FPS with no compromise. At 1440p, Ultra also holds at 79.4 FPS, so players can max out settings. At 4K, Medium is the only preset that reaches 60 FPS (60.2), while High and Ultra fall to 44.7 and 44.6. Therefore, for a 60 FPS target at 4K, Medium is recommended. If a lower frame rate is acceptable, High offers a marginal visual improvement over Ultra at the same performance level. The data shows that the RTX 4060 is not capable of 4K Ultra in this game, but it handles 1440p Ultra comfortably.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 7500F has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz and 32 MB of L3 cache. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22799 and single-core score of 3218 indicate strong performance. The CPU's percentile of 82 means it outperforms 82% of all CPUs. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is evident at lower resolutions: at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 268.5 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited, as the GPU would not be able to produce such high frame rates in a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11850H (delta 0.1%) and AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (delta -0.3%), showing that the 7500F is on par with those parts. The 12 threads and high boost clock ensure that the CPU does not bottleneck the RTX 4060 at 1080p and 1440p, as evidenced by the scaling from 1080p to 1440p: the FPS drop is less than the pixel increase, indicating that the CPU is still providing headroom. The CPU's launch MSRP is $179.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F + RTX 4060 combination ranks 991st out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the lower half of the database, with 990 combos performing better. The rank reflects the overall performance across all resolutions and settings. Given that the CPU is in the 82nd percentile and the GPU in the 66th percentile, the combo's mid-pack ranking suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor for high-resolution play. The measured FPS data supports this: at 4K Ultra, the combo only manages 44.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target. However, at 1080p and 1440p, the combo delivers excellent frame rates, making it a solid choice for those resolutions. The rank of 991 out of 1769 indicates that there are many more powerful combos, but this pairing offers a balanced experience for 1080p and 1440p gaming.
