Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title focused on PC assembly and troubleshooting, presents a unique workload that scales significantly with hardware. The measured data for the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination provides a clear picture of its capabilities across different settings and resolutions. The benchmark results indicate a system that delivers high frame rates, but the choice of settings and resolution substantially impacts the performance ceiling and the balance between CPU and GPU load.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data suggests that the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience, providing high frame rates while maintaining a stable performance window. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset achieves an average of 333 FPS, with a minimum of 283 FPS and a maximum of 383 FPS. This is notably higher than the High preset's 235 FPS and the Ultra preset's 224 FPS, while still being only slightly below the Low preset's 394 FPS. The presence of min/max data for Medium settings across all resolutions indicates a more consistent performance profile compared to other presets, which only list average FPS.

For users prioritizing frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p yields the highest average at 394 FPS, but the Medium preset's 333 FPS average is a more practical target for a smoother experience with better visual fidelity. At 2560x1440, the Medium preset maintains an average of 210 FPS, with a minimum of 179 FPS and a maximum of 242 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. The High preset at this resolution delivers 148 FPS, and Ultra drops to 141 FPS, both of which are still playable but leave less headroom.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the only one with recorded min/max data, showing an average of 110 FPS, a minimum of 93 FPS, and a maximum of 126 FPS. This is a significant drop from the lower resolutions, but the Medium preset remains the most viable option for 4K gaming, as the High preset averages 78 FPS and Ultra averages 74 FPS. The Low preset at 4K hits 155 FPS, but this requires substantial visual compromises. The data shows that the Medium preset consistently provides the best combination of performance and stability, making it the recommended choice for this hardware combination.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is a high-end graphics card with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. Its boost clock is rated at 2505 MHz, with a base clock of 2205 MHz. The GPU's performance in this game is clearly demonstrated by the FPS scaling across resolutions. At 1080p, the GPU is able to push frame rates well beyond 200 FPS at High and Ultra settings, indicating that it is not the primary bottleneck at this resolution. The data shows a clear trend: as resolution increases, average FPS decreases, which is expected as the GPU's workload becomes more demanding.

The GPU's 16 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, which does not typically require massive memory allocations. The benchmark results show that the GPU can handle the game's demands even at 4K Ultra settings, albeit at a lower average of 74 FPS. The RTX 4080's architecture, based on Ada Lovelace, provides substantial compute power, with an FP32 performance of 48.74 TFLOPS. This is reflected in its strong performance in synthetic benchmarks, such as a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6567 and a Passmark G3D score of 34457.

The GPU's performance percentile versus all GPUs is 86, placing it in the upper echelon of graphics cards. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, has an average benchmark score that is 0.1% higher, indicating that the RTX 4080 is nearly equivalent in performance. The data suggests that the RTX 4080 is a powerful component that can deliver high frame rates in this game, but its performance is more closely tied to resolution scaling than to settings changes, which is a key observation for understanding the system's overall behavior.

This places it in the top 6.8% of all configurations tested, which is a strong result for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The high ranking is likely driven by the CPU's strong multi-threaded performance, which is important for a simulation game that may rely on CPU calculations for game logic and AI.

The CPU's benchmark scores support this, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12735 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 13413. Its percentile versus all CPUs is 78, and its average benchmark score is 26324. The nearest CPU rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, which has a deltaPct of 0.2%, and the Intel Core i9-11900KF, which is 0.4% ahead. This indicates that the Ryzen 5 7600 is competitive with higher-tier CPUs from previous generations, making it a capable partner for the RTX 4080.

The combo rank of 252 suggests that while the system is powerful, there are other combinations that perform better. This is likely due to the CPU being a 6-core, 12-thread processor, which may limit performance in scenarios that benefit from more cores. The data shows that the system is well-balanced, but the CPU is not the absolute top performer, which is reflected in its rank. The combination of a high-end GPU with a mid-range CPU results in a system that is very capable for this game, but it is not the absolute best configuration available.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights into the system's bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the average FPS is 394. Moving to 1440p, this drops to 297 FPS, a reduction of 97 FPS or approximately 24.6%. Moving to 4K, the average drops to 155 FPS, which is a further reduction of 142 FPS or approximately 47.8% from the 1440p score. This pattern indicates that the GPU is becoming increasingly stressed as resolution increases.

For the Medium preset, the scaling is similar. At 1080p, the average is 333 FPS. At 1440p, it drops to 210 FPS, a reduction of 123 FPS or approximately 36.9%. At 4K, it drops to 110 FPS, a further reduction of 100 FPS or approximately 47.6%. The percentage drop from 1440p to 4K is nearly identical to the drop from 1080p to 1440p, suggesting a linear scaling relationship that is typical of GPU-bound workloads.

This data indicates that the limiting component at higher resolutions is the GPU. The CPU's performance is likely sufficient to keep up with the GPU at all resolutions, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p. The fact that the FPS drops significantly more from 1440p to 4K than from 1080p to 1440p suggests that the GPU is hitting its limits at 4K, especially at higher settings. The system is clearly GPU-bound at 4K, while at 1080p, the CPU may be more of a factor, but the GPU still has headroom.
