Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title where the workload is split between CPU-driven logic and GPU-accelerated rendering. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination produces a wide spread of frame rates depending on resolution and preset, placing this combo at rank 57 out of 1769 tested configurations. The data indicates a system that is extraordinarily fast at 1080p, remains highly capable at 1440p, and only begins to show meaningful limitations at 4K with higher settings.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 32 MB of shared L3 cache, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 64 KB of L1 per core. Its memory bandwidth is rated at 83.2 GB/s over a dual-channel DDR5 interface.

In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU scores 999 in 3dmark single-thread, which is a strong result for a desktop part. More relevant for a simulation game, the multi-threaded scores show solid scaling: 3dmark 8-thread score is 5508, while the max-thread score is 6503. Cinebench R23 multi-core yields 22992, and single-core yields 3246. The Passmark multithread score is 27058, with a single-thread score of 3910. These figures indicate that the Ryzen 5 7600 handles both lightly-threaded game logic and heavier background tasks competently.

The CPU's percentile versus all CPUs is 83, meaning it outperforms 83% of all processors in the database. Its average benchmark score is 26617. Looking at nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D scores 26574, which is just 0.2% lower. The Intel Core i9-12900HK scores 26672, 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i9-11900K scores 26546, 0.3% lower. This places the Ryzen 5 7600 in a performance band where it trades blows with previous-generation high-end chips, which is notable for a mid-range 6-core part.

For Pc Building Simulator specifically, the CPU's role is evident when examining the frame rate scaling from low to high settings at a fixed resolution. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 392.1 FPS. When moving to 1080p Ultra, the frame rate drops to 235.4 FPS, a 40% reduction. This drop is largely attributed to increased GPU workload, but the fact that the CPU can feed over 390 FPS at low settings shows it is not a bottleneck at that resolution. The 12 threads and high boost clock are sufficient for the game's simulation logic, which does not appear to be heavily parallelized based on the modest scaling from 8-thread to max-thread scores.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is a Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU built on a 5 nm process. It comes with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2617 MHz, with memory clocked at 1875 MHz (30 Gbps effective). It has 10752 shading units, 336 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, along with 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores.

In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 5080 scores 8637 in 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12, 36565 in Passmark G3D, and 21789 in Passmark GPU compute. The Geekbench OpenCL score is 264461, and Vulkan score is 257942. The GPU's percentile versus all GPUs is 89, and its average benchmark score is 59188. The nearest rivals are all Intel parts: the Arc A570M scores 58239 (1.6% lower), the Arc Pro A60 scores 60326 (1.9% higher), the Arc A580 scores 57756 (2.5% lower), and the Radeon Pro W5500X scores 57661 (2.6% lower). This indicates the RTX 5080 sits in a performance tier where it outpaces most mainstream GPUs but is not at the absolute top of the database.

For Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's 16 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for any preset at any resolution tested. The memory bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s ensures that texture streaming and high-resolution assets do not cause stuttering. The GPU's role becomes more apparent at higher resolutions. At 4K, the frame rates are significantly lower than at 1080p across all settings, which is the classic sign of GPU-bound rendering. The RTX 5080's raw compute power, rated at 56.28 TFLOPS FP32, allows it to push very high frame rates at 1440p and below, but the 4K Ultra result of 78.3 FPS shows that even this GPU has limits when the resolution demands are high.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured data shows a clear pattern of frame rate scaling across resolutions. At Low settings, the combo delivers 392.1 FPS at 1080p, 316.1 FPS at 1440p, and 166.1 FPS at 4K. This represents a 19% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 58% drop from 1080p to 4K. The scaling at Low settings indicates that even with minimal GPU load, the system is able to maintain very high frame rates, and the drop at 4K is substantial, suggesting that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count increases.

At Ultra settings, the frame rates are 235.4 FPS at 1080p, 152.2 FPS at 1440p, and 78.3 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 35%, and from 1080p to 4K is 67%. This steeper scaling at Ultra settings confirms that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions and quality presets. The CPU has more headroom to feed frames, but the GPU cannot keep up with the increased rendering load.

Comparing the scaling between Low and Ultra at each resolution provides insight into the balance. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 156.7 FPS (392.1 to 235.4), which shows the GPU is still quite capable at this resolution. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 87.8 FPS (166.1 to 78.3), indicating that the GPU is working much harder at this resolution and the impact of quality settings is more pronounced relative to the lower absolute frame rates. The data suggests that the Ryzen 5 7600 is sufficient to avoid CPU bottlenecks at all resolutions tested, with the RTX 5080 being the component that determines the final frame rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. With Low settings, the average FPS is 392.1. Medium settings yield 348.3 FPS. High settings produce 248.5 FPS. Ultra settings result in 235.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 40% reduction, but even the lowest figure is well above what most displays can show, making this resolution essentially GPU-overkill territory.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high. Low settings produce 316.1 FPS. Medium settings yield 225.1 FPS. High settings deliver 155.7 FPS. Ultra settings result in 152.2 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 52%, which is steeper than at 1080p. This indicates that the GPU is starting to feel the load at this resolution, but the results are still excellent for high-refresh-rate gaming.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop significantly. Low settings produce 166.1 FPS. Medium settings yield 117.6 FPS. High settings deliver 79.8 FPS. Ultra settings result in 78.3 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is minimal, at just 1.5 FPS. This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is heavily loaded, and the additional rendering features in Ultra provide little benefit over High for this game. The 4K Low result of 166.1 FPS is still very playable, but the 4K Ultra result of 78.3 FPS is the only figure that is below the 100 FPS threshold.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience per the measured rows, the data suggests different optimal presets depending on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset at 235.4 FPS is the recommended choice, as it provides the highest visual quality while still delivering frame rates that exceed any 240 Hz monitor's capability. The gap between High (248.5 FPS) and Ultra (235.4 FPS) is small, so there is little reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 155.7 FPS is the sweet spot. It offers a significant visual improvement over Medium (225.1 FPS) while maintaining frame rates above 144 Hz. The Ultra preset at 152.2 FPS is nearly identical in performance, so users with 144 Hz monitors could also choose Ultra without sacrificing smoothness. For those with 165 Hz or higher refresh displays, Medium at 225.1 FPS is a better option to maximize smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset at 117.6 FPS is the recommended choice. It provides a solid balance of visual quality and performance, staying above 100 FPS. The High preset at 79.8 FPS is acceptable for 60 Hz displays, but the drop from Medium is significant. The Ultra preset at 78.3 FPS offers no meaningful advantage over High, so it should be avoided. For users prioritizing frame rate over visuals, Low at 166.1 FPS is viable for high-refresh 4K monitors, but the visual compromise is substantial.

Overall, the data indicates that this combo is best utilized at 1440p with High settings, where it delivers 155.7 FPS with good visual fidelity. At 1080p, Ultra is a no-brainer, and at 4K, Medium provides the best performance-per-quality tradeoff. The system is flexible enough to handle all resolutions, but the ideal experience is at 1440p.
