Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a performance profile in Pc Building Simulator that is heavily dictated by resolution, with the data revealing a clear transition from a CPU-bound scenario at 1080p to a GPU-bound one at 4K. This combination, ranking 1017th out of 1769 tested combos, offers a fascinating look at how a mid-range GPU interacts with a high-end CPU in a simulation title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a dramatic and consistent decline as resolution increases, which is the expected signature of a GPU becoming the primary bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 268.5 FPS, but this figure plummets to 165.5 FPS at 1440p, and further still to 90.1 FPS at 4K. This represents a 66.4% drop in performance from 1080p to 4K at the lowest settings, indicating that the GPU is being saturated by the pixel count.

The scaling pattern shifts when examining higher settings. With High settings, the drop from 1080p (133.3 FPS) to 1440p (81.9 FPS) is a 38.6% reduction, and the subsequent drop to 4K (41.6 FPS) is another 49.2% reduction. This steeper decline at higher resolutions and settings suggests that the game’s visual fidelity options are disproportionately taxing the RTX 4060’s 8 GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory bus, rather than the CPU’s capabilities.

The data implies that at 1080p, the Ryzen 5 7600X’s high single-thread performance is sufficient to keep the GPU fed, as evidenced by the massive 268.5 FPS figure at Low settings. However, the scaling curve from 1440p to 4K is nearly linear in its degradation, which points to the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute resources being the limiting factor. The RTX 4060’s 272.0 GB/s bandwidth and 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are simply not enough to maintain high frame rates at 4K, regardless of the CPU’s headroom.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the clear performance ceiling for this combo in Pc Building Simulator, particularly at higher resolutions. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s, and the data suggests this is a critical constraint. At 4K Ultra, the combo manages only 43.2 FPS, while 4K High yields 41.6 FPS — a negligible difference that indicates the GPU is hitting a hard performance wall, likely due to memory capacity or bandwidth exhaustion.

The GPU’s clock speeds, with a base of 1830 MHz and a boost of 2460 MHz, are respectable for the Ada Lovelace architecture, but they cannot compensate for the narrow memory interface. The benchmark results for the RTX 4060 show a Passmark G3D score of 19545, placing it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. This is a mid-range standing, and the game’s performance reflects that positioning; it can handle 1080p and 1440p admirably, but 4K is a stretch.

Interestingly, the nearest rivals to the RTX 4060 in the benchmark database include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (deltaPct -0.6) and the Intel Arc B580 (deltaPct 0.7). These are all within a 1% margin of each other in average benchmark scores, indicating that the RTX 4060’s performance level is highly competitive with its peers. However, the data shows that in Pc Building Simulator, the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM is the primary limitation at 4K, as the FPS drop from Medium (61.9) to High (41.6) is a 32.8% reduction, while the drop from High to Ultra is only 3.8%. This suggests that the High preset is pushing the GPU’s memory capacity to its limit.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal experience depends heavily on the target resolution. For 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 128.8 FPS, which is above the 120 FPS threshold for high-refresh monitors, making it the best choice for visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness. The Medium preset at 1080p yields 186.3 FPS, but the jump to Ultra is only a 30.8% reduction in performance while providing the highest visual quality.

At 1440p, the High preset offers the best balance, delivering 81.9 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 77.5 FPS, a mere 5.4% difference, so the Ultra preset is also viable if users prefer maximum settings. However, the Medium preset at 117.6 FPS is the standout for high refresh rate 1440p gaming, as it maintains fluidity while sacrificing some visual detail.

For 4K, the data is less forgiving. The Medium preset provides 61.9 FPS, which is playable, but the High preset drops to 41.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS standard. The Low preset at 90.1 FPS is the only way to get a truly smooth 4K experience, but it requires significant visual compromises. The recommendation is to stick with Medium at 4K, as it offers a playable frame rate while retaining more visual quality than Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS table shows a consistent pattern across all settings. At 1080p, the range spans from 128.8 FPS (Ultra) to 268.5 FPS (Low), with Medium at 186.3 FPS and High at 133.3 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is a 30.6% performance hit, while the step from High to Ultra is only a 3.4% hit, indicating diminishing returns at the highest settings.

At 1440p, the numbers are 77.5 FPS (Ultra), 81.9 FPS (High), 117.6 FPS (Medium), and 165.5 FPS (Low). The difference between High and Ultra narrows to 5.4%, while the gap between Low and Medium is 29.0%. This suggests that at 1440p, the GPU is starting to struggle with the higher settings, but Medium remains a sweet spot.

At 4K, the results are 43.2 FPS (Ultra), 41.6 FPS (High), 61.9 FPS (Medium), and 90.1 FPS (Low). Notably, the High preset is actually slower than Ultra by 1.6 FPS, which is within margin of error but indicates a potential driver or optimization quirk. The drop from Low to Medium is 31.3%, confirming that the GPU’s memory bandwidth is the critical bottleneck at this resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 holds a rank of 1017 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the 42.5th percentile of all tested systems, meaning it outperforms a slight majority of configurations. The ranking suggests that while the CPU is powerful, the GPU holds the combo back from reaching the upper echelons of the leaderboard.

The Ryzen 5 7600X itself has an average benchmark score of 26272, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (deltaPct 0.2) and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U (deltaPct 0), indicating that the CPU is on par with these alternatives. However, the combo’s rank is more reflective of the GPU’s mid-range standing, as the RTX 4060 sits in the 66th percentile of all GPUs.

The disparity between the CPU’s high percentile (83) and the combo’s lower rank (42.5th percentile) is telling. It suggests that in Pc Building Simulator, the GPU is the dominant factor in overall performance, and a more powerful GPU would likely push this combo significantly higher in the rankings. The data implies that the Ryzen 5 7600X has ample headroom to support a stronger graphics card.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, plays a supporting role in this combo’s performance. Its base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.30 GHz provide exceptional single-threaded performance, as evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3406 and a Passmark single-thread score of 4135. This is crucial for simulation games, which often rely heavily on single-core performance for game logic and physics.

The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth (DDR5 dual-channel) are more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator’s demands. In the measured FPS data, the CPU’s influence is most apparent at 1080p, where the frame rates exceed 128 FPS even at Ultra settings. This indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution, as it can process game logic fast enough to feed the GPU.

However, the data also reveals that the CPU’s performance ceiling is not fully utilized at higher resolutions. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 6879 and the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 24128 show strong multi-threaded capabilities, but these are not the primary drivers of FPS in this game. The CPU’s role is to prevent frame drops, and it does so effectively, as evidenced by the smooth scaling at 1080p. The nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, has a deltaPct of 0.2, indicating near-identical CPU performance, which would likely yield similar results in this game.
