# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 5 7600X + AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT

Pc Building Simulator presents a peculiar case for hardware analysis: a simulation title where the CPU and GPU work in concert to render detailed workshop environments, component models, and live system diagnostics. The measured frame rates for this AMD Ryzen 5 7600X + AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT combination reveal a configuration that scales predictably across resolutions, with the GPU becoming increasingly dominant as pixel count rises. The data shows a system that delivers playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra, but the scaling pattern hints at where the true bottleneck lies at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K tells a clear story about which component drives performance in this simulation title. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 396 FPS average, which drops to 250 FPS at 2560x1440, and further to 131 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 66.9% reduction in frame rate when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a 47.6% further reduction when stepping up to 4K. The scaling is not linear — the pixel count increases by 77.8% from 1080p to 1440p, yet the frame rate drops by roughly two-thirds, suggesting the CPU is holding back performance at the lowest resolution.

At Ultra settings, the pattern shifts. The 1080p average of 189 FPS drops to 119 FPS at 1440p — a 37.0% decrease — and then to 62 FPS at 4K, another 47.9% reduction. The 4K Ultra result of 62 FPS is barely above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that at the highest quality preset, the GPU is working near its limits. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 69 FPS (131 vs 62), while at 1080p the delta is 207 FPS (396 vs 189). This widening gap at lower resolutions strongly suggests the CPU becomes the limiting factor when the GPU has less work to do.

The Medium preset provides the only complete min/max data in the measured rows. At 1080p Medium, the average is 281 FPS with a minimum of 238 and maximum of 323 — a 35.7% spread between minimum and maximum. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 177 FPS with min/max of 150/204, and at 4K Medium, the average is 93 FPS with min/max of 79/106. The consistency of the frame pacing, as evidenced by relatively tight min/max ranges, suggests the game engine handles the rendering load evenly across resolutions.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT brings substantial rendering resources to this simulation title. With 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus, the memory bandwidth of 800.0 GB/s provides ample headroom for the texture-heavy workshop environments and detailed component models that Pc Building Simulator renders. The GPU's 5376 shading units and 192 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 459.6 GPixel/s, which explains why the card can push 396 FPS at 1080p Low — the fill rate is more than sufficient for that workload.

The clock behavior is revealing. The base clock of 1387 MHz, game clock of 2025 MHz, and boost clock of 2394 MHz show a wide dynamic range. In a simulation game where the camera often focuses on static scenes with occasional movement, the GPU can sustain higher clocks compared to fast-paced action titles. The 4K Ultra result of 62 FPS suggests the card is hitting its thermal or power limits at that setting, but the 131 FPS at 4K Low shows the architecture can scale effectively when the shading load is reduced.

The GPU's FP32 throughput of 51.48 TFLOPS and texture rate of 804.4 GTexel/s are substantial, yet the benchmark results indicate the RX 7900 XT sits at the 55th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 13745 places it near the AMD Radeon RX 570X (13871, 0.9% higher) and the NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile (13821, 0.5% higher), but interestingly, the AMD Radeon 660M scores 13812, just 0.5% higher — a stark contrast to the architectural differences between these parts. In Pc Building Simulator specifically, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at 4K, where the 62 FPS Ultra result is the only measured frame rate below the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimal settings across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, all presets deliver frame rates far above the playability threshold — even Ultra produces 189 FPS average. The Medium preset's 281 FPS average with a 238 FPS minimum offers the best combination of visual quality and performance headroom, particularly for users who might experience scene complexity spikes. The Ultra preset at 1080p still delivers 189 FPS, so players prioritizing maximum visual fidelity can use it without concern.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 125 FPS average is the recommended choice. The Ultra preset drops to 119 FPS, a modest 4.8% reduction that might be acceptable, but the High preset provides better margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset at 177 FPS offers the smoothest experience with a 150 FPS minimum, making it suitable for competitive or high-refresh-rate displays. The Low preset at 250 FPS is unnecessary given the high frame rates of higher presets.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. The Ultra preset at 62 FPS average is just barely above the 60 FPS threshold, and the lack of min/max data suggests potential frame dips could push it below playable levels. The High preset at 65 FPS average offers minimal improvement, while the Medium preset at 93 FPS with a 79 FPS minimum provides a comfortable margin. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the safest recommendation, as it maintains frame rates well above 60 FPS while still delivering acceptable visual quality. The Low preset at 131 FPS ensures maximum smoothness but sacrifices visual fidelity.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured frame rate data for this combo spans three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 396 FPS average, Medium reaches 281 FPS (min 238, max 323), High produces 198 FPS, and Ultra delivers 189 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 52.3% reduction in frame rate, with the largest single drop occurring between Medium and High — a 29.5% decrease from 281 to 198 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset produces 250 FPS average, Medium achieves 177 FPS (min 150, max 204), High delivers 125 FPS, and Ultra reaches 119 FPS. The reduction from Low to Ultra is 52.4%, nearly identical to the 1080p scaling. The Medium preset's min/max range of 150-204 FPS shows a 26.5% spread, indicating consistent frame delivery under load.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset achieves 131 FPS average, Medium produces 93 FPS (min 79, max 106), High reaches 65 FPS, and Ultra drops to 62 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 52.7% reduction, consistent with the other resolutions. The Medium preset's min/max range of 79-106 FPS represents a 25.5% spread, similar to lower resolutions. The High and Ultra presets at 4K both hover near the 60-65 FPS range, with a mere 3 FPS difference between them, suggesting the game engine may have a rendering cost ceiling at that resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X plays a crucial role in Pc Building Simulator's performance, particularly at lower resolutions where the GPU has spare capacity. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture, the processor operates at a base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 cache per core provide fast access to game data, while the dual-channel DDR5 memory interface delivers 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

Benchmark results show the CPU's balanced capabilities. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15236 and single-core score of 1965 indicate strong performance for both threaded and single-threaded workloads. The 3DMark scores demonstrate scalability: 2028 for 2 threads, 3796 for 4 threads, 5715 for 8 threads, and 6879 for 16 threads. The near-linear scaling from 2 to 8 threads (68.2% increase from 2 to 4 threads, 50.6% from 4 to 8) suggests the processor handles increasing thread counts efficiently.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p. The 396 FPS Low result versus the 189 FPS Ultra result shows a 52.3% drop, but at 4K the same preset comparison shows only a 52.7% drop — nearly identical. This consistency suggests the CPU is not introducing a bottleneck at any resolution, but rather the game engine's rendering pipeline maintains similar scaling across pixel counts. The CPU's percentile ranking of 79 among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 27636, places it slightly above the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Core i5-12600K (both 27578, 0.2% lower) and just below the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE (27712, 0.3% higher).
