# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER serves as the rendering engine in this combo. Its core specifications include a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz, built on the TU106 chip with Turing architecture. The GPU features 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. Memory configuration consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz, which translates to 14 Gbps effective.

The GPU's compute capabilities include 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 14.36 TFLOPS of FP16 performance (at 2:1 ratio). Pixel rate reaches 105.6 GPixel/s, while texture rate hits 224.4 GTexel/s. The card includes 34 ray tracing cores and 272 tensor cores, which are relevant for games that leverage these features. However, Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that likely does not heavily stress ray tracing or tensor core workloads based on the measured FPS patterns.

The RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB VRAM capacity appears sufficient for this game at the tested resolutions. The measured FPS data shows that at 3840x2160 with High settings, the combo achieves 37 FPS average. At the same resolution with Low settings, performance jumps to 74 FPS. This doubling of performance when dropping from High to Low settings suggests that the GPU's fill rate and shading workload are significant factors at 4K resolution. The 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth provides adequate data throughput for texture streaming in a simulation game where scene complexity can vary with the number of PC components displayed.

The GPU's percentile ranking among all GPUs is 62, meaning it outperforms 62% of the GPU pool. Its average benchmark score of 18093 places it in the mid-range tier. The nearest rival comparisons show very tight clustering — the RTX 3060 Mobile is only 0.4% higher, the Radeon Pro 5700 is 0.5% higher, the RX 460 is 1.5% higher, and the Arc A770M is 1.6% higher. This indicates the RTX 2060 SUPER sits at a performance level where minor architectural differences among competitors produce negligible real-world deltas.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions. The transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 with High settings drops average FPS from 112 to 71, a 36.6% reduction. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at High settings drops from 71 to 37 FPS, a 47.9% reduction. The larger relative drop at 4K indicates the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases, consistent with the RTX 2060 SUPER's mid-range positioning.

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D combined with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 2098 out of 3002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This rank places the combo in the 30th percentile of tested configurations, meaning approximately 70% of pairings deliver higher average FPS in this game. The ranking reflects the GPU's mid-tier status combined with a high-end CPU that cannot fully compensate for the graphics card's limitations at demanding settings.

The combo rank of 2098 out of 3002 suggests that this pairing is positioned for 1080p and 1440p gaming rather than 4K. The measured FPS data supports this interpretation: at 1920x1080, the combo delivers playable frame rates across all settings (107 FPS at Ultra, 112 FPS at High, 159 FPS at Medium, 225 FPS at Low). At 2560x1440, performance remains respectable (68 FPS at Ultra, 71 FPS at High, 100 FPS at Medium, 142 FPS at Low). However, at 3840x2160, only Low settings achieve above 60 FPS (74 FPS), while Medium drops to 53 FPS, High to 37 FPS, and Ultra to 35 FPS.

Relative to other combos in the database, the 2098 rank indicates this pairing falls behind many modern configurations. The CPU's 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs contrasts sharply with the GPU's 62nd percentile ranking. This imbalance suggests that in CPU-light games like Pc Building Simulator, the GPU determines the combo's overall standing. The 904 combos ranked below this pairing likely feature older or weaker GPUs paired with mid-range CPUs, while the 2098 combos ranked above likely employ faster graphics cards.

The rank also reflects the age of the GPU relative to the CPU. The RTX 2060 SUPER released in 2019 and is marked as end-of-life, while the Ryzen 5 7500X3D released in 2025 and remains in active production. This generational gap contributes to the performance disparity between the two components, with the newer CPU offering substantial headroom that the GPU cannot fully utilize in graphically intensive scenarios.

Medium settings produce 100 FPS average, with a minimum of 85 FPS and a maximum of 116 FPS. High settings deliver 71 FPS average, and Ultra settings yield 68 FPS average. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 74 FPS, a 52.1% reduction. The minimum FPS values at Medium settings (85 FPS at 1440p) remain above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160 resolution, the combo struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low settings achieve 74 FPS average. Medium settings produce 53 FPS average, with a minimum of 45 FPS and a maximum of 60 FPS. High settings deliver 37 FPS average, and Ultra settings yield 35 FPS average. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 39 FPS, a 52.7% reduction. Notably, the Medium settings at 4K have a maximum FPS of exactly 60, indicating occasional dips below and above that threshold during gameplay.

The measured FPS data reveals consistent scaling behavior across resolutions. At 1080p, all settings exceed 100 FPS, making the combo suitable for high-refresh-rate displays. At 1440p, all settings remain above 60 FPS, providing a playable experience across the quality spectrum. At 4K, only Low settings maintain above 60 FPS average, while Medium hovers near 53 FPS and High/Ultra fall below 40 FPS.

The minimum and maximum FPS values provided only for Medium settings across all three resolutions offer insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the range spans from 135 to 183 FPS, a 48 FPS spread. At 1440p Medium, the range spans from 85 to 116 FPS, a 31 FPS spread. At 4K Medium, the range spans from 45 to 60 FPS, a 15 FPS spread. This narrowing range at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes more consistently saturated as resolution increases, reducing frame time variance.

# Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 and then to 3840x2160 reveals the bottleneck characteristics of this combo. At High settings, the FPS progression is 112 (1080p), 71 (1440p), and 37 (4K). The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 36.6%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 47.9%. The larger percentage drop at the higher resolution step indicates the GPU is increasingly saturated as pixel count rises.

At Low settings, the progression is 225 (1080p), 142 (1440p), and 74 (4K). The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 36.9%, and from 1440p to 4K is 47.9%. These percentages are nearly identical to those observed at High settings, suggesting that the resolution scaling behavior is consistent regardless of quality preset. This consistency implies that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the dominant factors limiting performance, rather than specific shading or texture workloads that might vary with settings.

At Medium settings, the progression is 159 (1080p), 100 (1440p), and 53 (4K). The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 37.1%, and from 1440p to 4K is 47.0%. At Ultra settings, the progression is 107 (1080p), 68 (1440p), and 35 (4K). The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 36.4%, and from 1440p to 4K is 48.5%. Across all settings, the 1080p-to-1440p drop averages around 36.7%, while the 1440p-to-4K drop averages around 47.8%.

These scaling patterns indicate that the RTX 2060 SUPER approaches its rendering limits as resolution increases. The near-constant percentage drops across settings suggest that the GPU's pixel throughput is the primary constraint. The 4K resolution requires four times the pixel count of 1080p, but the FPS at 4K is roughly one-third of the 1080p value across settings. This sub-linear scaling confirms that the GPU hits a bandwidth or fill-rate ceiling before the CPU becomes a limiting factor.

The CPU's role in resolution scaling appears minimal. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D with its 6 cores, 12 threads, and 96 MB of shared L3 cache provides ample processing power for simulation logic. The PassMark single-thread score of 3494 and multithread score of 25047 indicate strong performance that does not bottleneck the GPU at any resolution. The consistent FPS scaling percentages across settings further support the conclusion that the GPU, not the CPU, determines the resolution-dependent performance envelope.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver 107 FPS average, which is sufficient for smooth gameplay on standard 60 Hz monitors and acceptable for 144 Hz displays. The 107 FPS at Ultra represents only a 4.5% drop from High settings (112 FPS), making Ultra the preferred choice for visual quality without meaningful performance sacrifice.

At 2560x1440, the choice between High and Ultra is more consequential. High settings deliver 71 FPS average, while Ultra produces 68 FPS — a 4.2% difference. Both remain above 60 FPS, making either preset viable. However, the 71 FPS at High provides a safety margin for demanding scenes, while Ultra's 68 FPS leaves less headroom. For users prioritizing consistent frame delivery, High settings at 1440p offer the best balance.

At 3840x2160, the recommendations shift dramatically. Low settings achieve 74 FPS average, which is playable but visually compromised. Medium settings produce 53 FPS average, with a minimum of 45 FPS and maximum of 60 FPS. The 45 FPS minimum at Medium could result in noticeable stutter during scene transitions. High and Ultra settings at 37 FPS and 35 FPS respectively are borderline playable but may feel sluggish. For 4K gaming with this combo, Low settings provide the only configuration that consistently exceeds 60 FPS.

The Medium settings data across all resolutions provides the most complete picture of frame time behavior. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 135 FPS ensures fluid gameplay. At 1440p Medium, the 85 FPS minimum remains above 60 FPS. At 4K Medium, the 45 FPS minimum drops below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating potential stutter. This pattern suggests that Medium settings at 1440p represent the highest quality preset that maintains a minimum FPS above 60.

For the best overall experience per the measured rows, the recommendation is 1440p with High settings. This configuration delivers 71 FPS average, which is above 60 FPS and provides a comfortable margin. The 4.2% difference between High and Ultra at 1440p is modest, but High's higher average FPS makes it the safer choice. Alternatively, 1080p Ultra at 107 FPS offers the highest visual quality among configurations that exceed 100 FPS average.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, based on the Raphael codename with Zen 4 architecture. It operates at a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The CPU includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 96 MB of shared L3 cache. This large L3 cache is characteristic of the 3D V-Cache lineup, though the fact pack does not specify vCache3d details for this particular model.

The CPU's memory support includes DDR5 with dual-channel configuration, providing 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It supports ECC memory and connects via PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU. The integrated Radeon Graphics provide a fallback display output, though the discrete RTX 2060 SUPER handles rendering in this combo. The CPU's TDP is 65 watts, making it a relatively power-efficient part for its performance level.

In benchmark tests, the Ryzen 5 7500X3D achieves a multithread score of 25047 and a single-thread score of 3494. The PassMark data compression score of 271649, data encryption score of 15797, and extended instructions score of 20455 indicate strong integer and cryptographic performance. The floating point math score of 43594 and integer math score of 70774 demonstrate balanced compute capabilities. The find prime numbers score of 221 and random string sorting score of 32999 round out the benchmark suite.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 44573 places it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H (44466, 0.2% lower), Intel Core i9-13950HX (44342, 0.5% lower), AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 (44309, 0.6% lower), and Intel Core i5-14600 (44889, 0.7% higher). This tight clustering indicates the 7500X3D sits in a competitive performance band where no single rival holds a decisive advantage.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is likely secondary to the GPU given the game's simulation nature. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration provides sufficient processing power for managing the physics, logic, and UI elements typical of a simulation title. The 96 MB L3 cache may help with storing frequently accessed game data, reducing memory latency. The CPU's 89th percentile ranking suggests it does not bottleneck the RTX 2060 SUPER in most scenarios, as evidenced by the consistent FPS scaling patterns discussed earlier.

The CPU's boost clock of 4.50 GHz provides responsive single-threaded performance, which is relevant for simulation games that often rely on a primary thread for game logic. The PassMark single-thread score of 3494 confirms strong per-core performance. However, the measured FPS data shows that at 4K resolution, even Low settings produce only 74 FPS, indicating that the GPU reaches its limits before the CPU becomes a constraint. The CPU's high benchmark scores and percentile ranking suggest it has ample headroom for future GPU upgrades without requiring a platform change.
