Pc Building Simulator

The pairing of an AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 represents an extreme combination of a high-core-count CPU with a flagship GPU, and the measured results in Pc Building Simulator reveal a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-limited. The data shows a clear performance hierarchy where the RTX 4090's immense rasterization power is the primary driver of frame rates, with the Ryzen 5 7500X3D providing ample headroom. Across all tested presets, the system delivers triple-digit average FPS, but the scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K demonstrates how the GPU's workload dictates the final output, making this an exceptional setup for simulation enthusiasts who demand maximum visual fidelity.

Resolution Scaling

The performance delta between 1080p and 4K is stark, with the data showing a significant drop in average FPS as resolution increases. At 1080p with Ultra settings, the combo achieves 247 FPS, but this falls to 156 FPS at 1440p and further to 82 FPS at 4K with the same preset. This represents a 67% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions, as the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are more than sufficient to feed the RTX 4090 even at lower resolutions. The pattern is consistent across all settings: Low preset yields 352 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 302 FPS at 1440p and 171 FPS at 4K, which is a 51% decline.

The scaling behavior suggests that Pc Building Simulator is not a particularly demanding title for the CPU, as the 7500X3D's 96 MB of shared L3 cache and 4.50 GHz boost clock keep the frame pipeline saturated. At 1080p, where CPU overhead is typically more pronounced, the system still manages 260 FPS on High settings, which is only 8% lower than the 302 FPS on Low, showing that the GPU remains the bottleneck even at the lowest resolution. The transition from 1440p to 4K is where the GPU load becomes most apparent: High settings drop from 164 FPS to 86 FPS (a 48% reduction), and Medium settings fall from 232 FPS to 121 FPS (a 48% reduction). This consistent ~50% performance loss across settings when moving to 4K confirms that the RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are being fully utilized at the higher pixel count.

The data indicates that users targeting 4K will need to compromise on settings, as the Ultra preset at 4K delivers 82 FPS, which is below the 86 FPS of High at the same resolution. This unusual inversion—where High outperforms Ultra at 4K—suggests that the Ultra preset introduces effects that disproportionately tax the GPU, while the CPU's role remains secondary. At 1080p, the differences between presets are more modest, with a 30% spread from Low (352 FPS) to Ultra (247 FPS), but at 4K, this spread narrows to 52% (171 FPS to 82 FPS), reinforcing that resolution scaling amplifies GPU-bound behavior.

High settings reach 260 FPS, while Ultra drops to 247 FPS, still an excellent result for a simulation title. Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down predictably: Low averages 302 FPS, Medium 232 FPS (min 197, max 267), High 164 FPS, and Ultra 156 FPS. The 1440p figures represent a 14-37% reduction from 1080p, depending on the preset, which is typical for a GPU-bound workload.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4090's limits become apparent. Low settings average 171 FPS, Medium 121 FPS (min 103, max 140), High 86 FPS, and Ultra 82 FPS. The transition from 1440p to 4K results in a 43-48% performance drop across all settings, highlighting the pixel fill rate demands of 4K. Notably, the Ultra preset at 4K (82 FPS) is only 4 FPS slower than High (86 FPS), suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional effects are not heavily taxing the GPU at this resolution. The data also shows that the system never falls below 82 FPS in any measured configuration, making it capable of driving even 4K Ultra on high-refresh-rate monitors.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the undisputed performance driver in this configuration, with its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory operating at 21 Gbps effective and a 384-bit bus width delivering 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is critical for Pc Building Simulator, which likely involves large texture assets and complex simulations that benefit from the ample VRAM capacity. The GPU's boost clock of 2520 MHz and base clock of 2235 MHz, combined with 16,384 shading units, allow it to process the game's rendering tasks efficiently, as evidenced by the high frame rates across all resolutions.

The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 38,194 places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival, the Intel Arc Pro A60, scores 60,326 in average benchmark performance, a 0% difference. However, the RTX 4090's 24 GB of VRAM is double that of many competitors, and this capacity is likely why the system maintains playable frame rates at 4K Ultra. The GPU's 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores also provide headroom for future titles, though Pc Building Simulator does not appear to leverage ray tracing based on the measured data. The 450W TDP and 850W suggested PSU highlight the power requirements, but the performance return is clear: the GPU is the sole reason this combo achieves 167th place out of 3,723.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p displays, the Ultra preset is the clear choice, as it delivers 247 FPS while providing the highest visual quality. The gap between Ultra and High is only 13 FPS (247 vs 260), making Ultra the better option for users who prioritize image fidelity over marginal frame rate gains. At 1440p, the Medium preset offers the best experience, with 232 FPS and a minimum of 197 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even in complex scenes. High at 1440p drops to 164 FPS, which is still playable, but Medium's higher frame rate and consistent minimum make it the recommended setting.

For 4K, the data shows a trade-off between quality and performance. Ultra averages 82 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold for most monitors, but High at 86 FPS is only 4 FPS faster, making Ultra the better choice for visual purists. However, Medium at 121 FPS (min 103) provides a substantially smoother experience, and for users with 120Hz+ 4K displays, Medium is the recommended preset. The Low preset at 4K (171 FPS) is unnecessary given the Medium settings' performance, but it offers a viable option for users who prioritize frame rates above all else. Overall, the system is powerful enough that users can choose settings based on preference, but the data suggests that Medium at 1440p or 4K offers the best balance of performance and visual quality.
