# Pc Building Simulator — AMD Ryzen 5 7500F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers exceptional frame rates in Pc Building Simulator, ranking 258th out of 3723 tested combinations. The data shows this is a GPU-bound configuration at 4K, transitioning to CPU-bound territory at 1080p, with the RTX 4080's 16 GB VRAM proving more than sufficient for all tested presets. The measured results indicate that even at Ultra settings, this combo maintains playable frame rates at every resolution, though the scaling pattern reveals where the performance ceiling shifts.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and clearly demonstrates the GPU becoming the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 385 FPS at 1920x1080 to 155 FPS at 3840x2160 — a 59.7% reduction. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 4080's rendering workload scales almost linearly with pixel count, which is expected for a simulation game that lacks complex CPU-driven AI or physics systems.

At Medium settings, the scaling pattern holds: 333 FPS at 1080p, 210 FPS at 1440p, and 110 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 36.9%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 47.6%. This increasing percentage loss at higher resolutions confirms that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth become the primary constraints as pixel count rises. The RTX 4080's 716.8 GB/s memory bandwidth and 280.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are being pushed harder at 4K, yet the card still delivers 110 FPS at Medium — a very strong result.

High settings show a similar trend: 235 FPS at 1080p, 148 FPS at 1440p, and 78 FPS at 4K. The 1080p-to-1440p drop is 37.0%, and the 1440p-to-4K drop is 47.3%. Ultra settings follow the identical pattern with 224, 141, and 74 FPS respectively, showing that the resolution scaling behavior is consistent across all quality presets. The fact that Ultra at 4K still maintains 74 FPS average indicates the RTX 4080 has ample headroom for this title, even at the highest settings.

At 1080p Low, the 385 FPS result is high enough that the CPU's single-thread performance likely becomes the bottleneck. The Ryzen 5 7500F's boost clock of 5.00 GHz and single-thread benchmark scores (3dmark_single_thread: 974, Cinebench R23 single-core: 3218) suggest it can sustain very high frame rates, but the 4K-to-1080p scaling ratio of 2.48x at Low settings is less than the theoretical 4x pixel difference, indicating some CPU limitation at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the dominant component in this configuration, and its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory is never stressed in Pc Building Simulator. The game's measured results show no signs of VRAM capacity issues at any resolution or setting — even Ultra 4K delivers 74 FPS, which would be impossible if memory were spilling to system RAM. The 256-bit memory bus and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth provide sufficient throughput for the texture-heavy simulation environments.

The GPU's clock behavior is worth noting. The base clock of 2205 MHz and boost clock of 2505 MHz are relatively close, suggesting the card maintains stable boost frequencies under load. The 22.4 Gbps effective memory speed is a key contributor to the consistent performance scaling observed across resolutions. With 9728 shading units and 112 ROPs, the RTX 4080 has substantial raw compute capacity, reflected in its Passmark G3D score of 34457 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6567.

The GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it well above average, with its nearest rival being the RTX 4080 SUPER at just 0.1% higher average score. The data indicates that the RTX 4080's performance in this game is essentially identical to its direct successor, meaning users are not losing meaningful frame rates by using this card. The GPU's FP32 throughput of 48.74 TFLOPS is more than adequate for a simulation title that relies primarily on rasterization rather than ray tracing or compute-heavy effects.

At 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The 74 FPS average is still above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, but the gap between Low (155 FPS) and Ultra (74 FPS) at 4K shows how much headroom the GPU has when settings are reduced. The measured data shows that the RTX 4080's performance ceiling in this game is not reached until 4K with Ultra settings, where it still delivers a playable experience.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F plays a supporting role in this configuration, but its capabilities are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 4080 in most scenarios. With 6 cores and 12 threads, the CPU's Zen 4 architecture (Raphael codename) provides strong single-thread performance, which is critical for simulation games that often rely on a primary game thread. The 5.00 GHz boost clock and 3.70 GHz base clock give the processor excellent frequency headroom.

The CPU's benchmark scores demonstrate its capabilities. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22799 and single-core score of 3218 indicate strong all-around performance. The 3dmark single-thread score of 974 and 2-thread score of 1902 show that the processor scales well with thread count, which is important for a game that may use multiple threads for different simulation systems. The 32 MB shared L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, and the dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provides adequate data throughput for the CPU's needs.

The CPU's 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it above the median, with nearest rivals including the Intel Core i7-11850H and AMD Ryzen 5 8400F. The Intel Core i7-13620H is only 0.2% behind, while the Intel Core 5 210H trails by 0.4%. These close margins indicate that the Ryzen 5 7500F's processing power is competitive with modern mobile and desktop parts, though it is not a top-tier enthusiast chip.

The 1080p Low results (385 FPS average) suggest that the CPU can drive frame rates well above what most displays can show. The 3dmark max threads score of 6379 and Passmark multithread score of 26825 indicate the CPU can handle the game's multi-threaded workload, but the lack of additional cores means the CPU may become the limiting factor at extremely high frame rates. The measured data shows that at 1080p, the frame rate differential between Low and Ultra is only 161 FPS (385 vs 224), compared to the 4K differential of 81 FPS (155 vs 74), suggesting the CPU is starting to constrain performance at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings across different resolutions. At 1920x1080, all settings deliver frame rates well above any practical display refresh rate. Low settings produce 385 FPS, Medium 333 FPS, High 235 FPS, and Ultra 224 FPS. Since even Ultra exceeds 200 FPS, users with high-refresh monitors should prioritize visual quality. The 11 FPS difference between High and Ultra is minimal, making Ultra the recommended choice at this resolution for maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the recommendation shifts slightly. Ultra delivers 141 FPS, which is excellent for most monitors. The step down to High (148 FPS) provides only a 7 FPS improvement, while Medium (210 FPS) and Low (297 FPS) offer diminishing returns for competitive play. For most users, Ultra at 1440p is the optimal balance, as the 141 FPS average is well above the 120-144 Hz range common on modern monitors. Those with 240 Hz displays might prefer Medium for the 210 FPS result, but the visual compromise may not be worth the extra frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the choice becomes more nuanced. Ultra delivers 74 FPS, which is playable but may not satisfy users with high-refresh 4K displays. High settings at 78 FPS provide only a marginal improvement. Medium settings jump to 110 FPS, which is a significant upgrade for a 4K display, while Low reaches 155 FPS. For 4K gaming, Medium is the recommended preset, as it maintains frame rates above 100 FPS while retaining reasonable visual quality. The min FPS of 93 at Medium 4K is still smooth, and the max of 126 FPS shows headroom. Ultra at 4K is the only configuration that risks dropping below 60 FPS in demanding scenes, so users prioritizing consistency should choose Medium.
