Pc Building Simulator

# Pc Building Simulator — AMD Ryzen 5 7600X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER

This combination delivers exceptional frame rates across all tested settings in Pc Building Simulator, with the data showing a system that remains highly playable even at 4K Ultra. The measured results place this pairing at rank 92 out of 1769 tested combos, placing it in the top 5.2% of all configurations in the database for this title. The benchmark data reveals a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets, with the GPU emerging as the dominant factor in most scenarios, while the CPU's strong single-threaded capabilities keep frame rates high even at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K shows a predictable decline, but the magnitude varies significantly by preset. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 416.1 at 1080p to 296.8 at 1440p, then to 155.8 at 4K — a reduction of 62.5% from 1080p to 4K. This steep falloff indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU is increasingly stressed as pixel count rises, though the 155.8 FPS at 4K Low remains far above playable thresholds.

At Medium settings, the scaling shows 330.1 FPS at 1080p, 207.5 at 1440p, and 110.4 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K here is 66.5%, slightly larger than at Low, suggesting that the additional shading and texture work amplifies the resolution penalty. High settings follow a similar pattern: 232.7 FPS at 1080p, 144.5 at 1440p, and 78.3 at 4K, representing a 66.4% decline from 1080p to 4K.

Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling, with 225.1 FPS at 1080p falling to 141.7 at 1440p and then 70.8 at 4K — a 68.5% reduction across the full range. The 1440p-to-4K drop at Ultra is particularly steep, from 141.7 to 70.8 FPS, a 50.0% loss. This indicates that Ultra settings at 4K push the RTX 4080 SUPER to its limits in this simulation title, though the 70.8 FPS average remains smooth for gameplay. The data suggests that resolution scaling is primarily GPU-bound across all presets, with the CPU able to sustain high enough frame rates that it never becomes the limiting factor, even at 1080p Low where the system exceeds 400 FPS.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which appears sufficient for Pc Building Simulator's asset streaming and scene complexity at all tested resolutions. The GPU's 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs contribute to the high fill rates observed in the benchmark data, with pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s. The Ada Lovelace architecture's 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present but likely underutilized in this simulation genre, which focuses more on rasterized rendering of components and workbenches.

The GPU operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz with a boost of 2550 MHz, and the memory runs at 1438 MHz with 23 Gbps effective speed. These clocks allow the card to deliver 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which translates to the high frame rates seen across the measured presets. The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its capability: a PassMark G3D score of 34245 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6600 place it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 53610 sits 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M, while leading the RX 7700S by 2.1% and the RTX 5070 Ti by 2.9%.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is noteworthy for a simulation game that may load large texture sets for component models. At 4K Ultra, the combination of high-resolution textures and complex scenes could approach memory limits, but the measured 70.8 FPS average indicates no severe throttling occurred during testing. The data supports the conclusion that the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences between presets, as evidenced by the significant FPS gaps between Low and Ultra at each resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER achieves rank 92 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 5.2% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the balance between the CPU's strong single-threaded performance and the GPU's high-end rasterization capability. The percentile standing indicates that only 91 other combos in the database deliver higher average FPS in this title, which is remarkable given the wide variety of hardware combinations tested.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 26272 places it in the 83rd percentile of all processors, while the GPU's 53610 average score sits in the 88th percentile. The slightly higher GPU percentile suggests that the graphics card contributes more to this game's performance ranking than the processor, which is consistent with the resolution scaling analysis showing GPU-bound behavior. The combo's rank of 92 is impressive because it demonstrates that this pairing outperforms many combos with theoretically stronger CPUs or GPUs, likely due to the game's moderate threading requirements and the CPU's excellent per-core performance.

When examining the CPU's nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 7600X's 26272 average score is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U (26262, 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 7 7735U (26305, -0.1%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE (26320, -0.2%), while edging the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (26214) by 0.2%. This tight grouping indicates that the CPU is not the differentiator in this combo's high ranking; rather, the GPU's dominance in the 88th percentile drives the overall performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X contributes to this combo's performance through its Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process by TSMC with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die. The processor features 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache, alongside 64 KB L1 and 1 MB L2 per core, provides ample data locality for the simulation's logic and physics calculations. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s over dual-channel DDR5 support helps feed the GPU quickly in lower-resolution scenarios where frame rates exceed 300 FPS.

Benchmark data reveals the CPU's strengths: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 24128 and single-core score of 3406, with Geekbench scores of 12905 multi-core and 2892 single-core. The PassMark single-thread score of 4135 and multi-thread score of 28390 further quantify its capability. The 3DMark results show scaling from 1060 in single-thread to 6879 in 16-thread tests, indicating good multi-threading efficiency. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking against all processors reflects its strong balance of single-core and multi-core performance.

In Pc Building Simulator specifically, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU, but its high single-thread performance ensures that physics calculations and UI interactions do not bottleneck frame delivery. The 105 W TDP and active production status indicate a modern, efficient part that pairs well with the RTX 4080 SUPER. The data shows that even at 1080p Low where the system produces 416.1 FPS, the CPU maintains frame pacing without becoming a constraint, as evidenced by the consistent scaling across resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimal settings based on display resolution and desired frame rate targets. At 4K, Ultra settings deliver 70.8 FPS, which is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. Dropping to High at 4K yields 78.3 FPS, a 10.6% improvement, while Medium produces 110.4 FPS — a 55.9% gain over Ultra. For 4K users prioritizing smoothness, Medium represents the sweet spot, offering over 100 FPS with likely minimal visual impact in a simulation context.

At 1440p, all presets exceed 140 FPS, with Ultra at 141.7 FPS and High at 144.5 FPS being nearly identical. Medium jumps to 207.5 FPS and Low reaches 296.8 FPS. Since the visual difference between Ultra and High at 1440p is often subtle in simulation games, choosing High provides a 2.0% FPS increase while potentially reducing GPU load. For competitive or high-refresh-rate displays, Medium or Low at 1440p offers substantial headroom.

At 1080p, the system exceeds 225 FPS on all presets, with Ultra at 225.1 FPS, High at 232.7 FPS, Medium at 330.1 FPS, and Low at 416.1 FPS. For 1080p users with 240 Hz monitors, Ultra or High is appropriate; for those with 360 Hz displays, Medium becomes necessary. The data indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER is overkill for 1080p in this game, as even Ultra settings cannot stress the GPU to below 200 FPS. Overall, the recommendation is to use High at 4K for balanced quality, Ultra at 1440p for maximum fidelity, and either High or Ultra at 1080p depending on refresh rate, with Medium as a fallback for very high refresh rates.
