Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers a distinctive performance profile in Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that scales predictably across resolutions and settings. The measured data shows a pairing where the CPU’s modern architecture provides ample headroom for the GPU’s older Turing-based design. Benchmark results indicate that the system’s overall ranking places it in the lower-middle segment of tested configurations, suggesting a balanced but not dominant setup for this specific title.

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 5 architecture, using the Granite Ridge codename on AMD Socket AM5. It operates with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, which are substantial figures for simulation workloads that often rely on single-threaded performance for game logic. The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 cache per core provide fast access to frequently used data, which is beneficial for the iterative calculations common in building and management simulations.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 9600X shows strong scaling from 2 threads to 8 threads, with 3DMark scores rising from 2456 at 2 threads to 6726 at 8 threads, before plateauing near 7590 at max threads. This pattern indicates that the processor’s performance is largely saturated by 8 threads, which aligns with how Pc Building Simulator typically utilizes fewer cores. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25525 and single-core score of 3603 confirm that the CPU is capable of handling both lightly threaded game logic and heavier background tasks without bottlenecking the GPU in this title.

The processor’s 65 W TDP and 4 nm process node from TSMC contribute to efficient operation, though the measured FPS in this game are more directly influenced by clock speed and cache architecture than raw power draw. Compared to its nearest rivals, the 9600X’s average benchmark score of 28246 places it marginally ahead of the Intel Core i5-13490F and AMD Ryzen 5 230, both at 0.3% delta, while slightly trailing the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and Intel Core i5-14500T by 0.4% and 0.5% respectively. These narrow margins suggest that in CPU-bound scenarios, the 9600X is competitive with mid-range alternatives, though the measured FPS data for this combo shows the GPU becoming the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a Turing-architecture GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its base clock of 1470 MHz and boost clock of 1650 MHz are modest by modern standards, but the 2176 shading units and 64 ROPs provide adequate pixel throughput for simulation titles that emphasize geometry and texture work over complex shading. The GPU’s 34 RT cores and 272 tensor cores are present but largely underutilized in Pc Building Simulator, which does not heavily leverage ray tracing or DLSS.

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: at 1080p, the RTX 2060 SUPER is capable of high frame rates, with an average of 224.2 FPS at Low settings and 112 FPS at High settings. However, performance drops significantly at 4K, where the Ultra preset averages only 36.4 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and bandwidth are sufficient for the game’s asset loading, but the raw compute power limits performance at higher resolutions. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 19774 places it at the 63rd percentile of all GPUs, with its nearest rival being the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN at a 0.3% delta, and the RTX 2070 at 0.5% ahead. This positioning suggests that the RTX 2060 SUPER is a competent mid-range card, though its performance in this game is more constrained by resolution than by the CPU’s capabilities.

FAQ — 4-6 Q&A pairs answerable from FACT PACK data

Q: How does the combo rank among all tested configurations in Pc Building Simulator?

A: The combination ranks 1329 out of 1769 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database. This ranking reflects a balanced but not exceptional setup for this simulation title.

Q: What is the FPS difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the average FPS drops from 140.6 at Low settings to 65.5 at Ultra settings, a reduction of 75.1 FPS. This indicates that the GPU’s compute capacity is the primary constraint when increasing graphical fidelity.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU at any tested resolution?

A: The data does not show a CPU bottleneck, as the 9600X’s single-thread performance of 3603 in Cinebench R23 is sufficient to drive the GPU across all resolutions. The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K is consistent with GPU-bound behavior.

Q: What is the highest average FPS achievable with this combo?

A: The highest measured average FPS is 224.2, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This suggests that the combo can exceed 200 FPS in less demanding scenarios, though typical gameplay at higher settings will be lower.

Q: How does the RTX 2060 SUPER compare to its nearest rival in terms of average score?

A: The RTX 2060 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 19774, which is 0.3% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN and 0.5% lower than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070. These small deltas indicate near-identical performance among these cards in synthetic tests.

Q: What is the FPS difference between 1080p and 4K at High settings?

A: At High settings, the average FPS drops from 112 at 1920x1080 to 35.7 at 3840x2160, a reduction of 76.3 FPS. This dramatic decline highlights the GPU’s limitations at 4K resolution.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo’s rank of 1329 out of 1769 tested configurations places it in the 75th percentile of the database, meaning roughly 440 combos perform worse and 1328 perform better. This ranking is consistent with the hardware’s specifications: the Ryzen 5 9600X is a high-end CPU in terms of synthetic benchmarks, but the RTX 2060 SUPER is a mid-range GPU from an older generation. The combination therefore sits below many modern pairings that feature newer GPUs with higher compute throughput.

When interpreting the rank, it is important to note that Pc Building Simulator is not a highly demanding title for either component. The CPU’s percentile of 85 among all CPUs indicates strong processor performance, while the GPU’s percentile of 63 reflects its more modest standing. The gap between these percentiles suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing, which is corroborated by the measured FPS showing significant drops at higher resolutions. The rank of 1329 is therefore a reflection of the GPU’s age rather than any CPU deficiency.

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

At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates its strongest performance. Low settings yield an average of 224.2 FPS, Medium settings produce 158.3 FPS, High settings deliver 112 FPS, and Ultra settings result in 108.8 FPS. The relatively small gap between High and Ultra (3.2 FPS) suggests that the GPU is not heavily taxed by the highest preset at this resolution, and the CPU’s single-thread performance is likely the ceiling for frame rates above 200 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down proportionally. Low settings average 140.6 FPS, Medium settings achieve 97.4 FPS, High settings produce 71.1 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 65.5 FPS. The transition from Low to Medium shows a 43.2 FPS decrease, while the gap from High to Ultra narrows to 5.6 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s shading units are near saturation at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s limitations become pronounced. Low settings average 73.2 FPS, Medium settings produce 51 FPS, High settings deliver 35.7 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 36.4 FPS. Notably, the High and Ultra presets yield nearly identical results, with Ultra being only 0.7 FPS higher than High. This anomaly suggests that the GPU’s memory bandwidth or ROP throughput is the bottleneck at 4K, preventing any meaningful benefit from the Ultra preset’s additional settings. The overall pattern across resolutions is consistent: the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K performance only viable at lower settings.
