GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary driver of frame rates in Pc Building Simulator, as evidenced by the scaling of performance across resolutions. With a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, the card’s Turing architecture processes the game’s visuals efficiently, but its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions. The GPU’s FP32 compute of 9.062 TFLOPS and 2560 shading units provide adequate power for a simulation game, yet the data shows that 4K Ultra is a stretch, producing only 36.4 FPS.

The card’s 64 ROPs and 160 TMUs handle the rendering pipeline, but the pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s are modest by today’s standards. At 1080p, the GPU is not the bottleneck, as the CPU can push frame rates to 244.5 FPS on Low settings. However, at 4K, the GPU’s workload increases dramatically, and the average FPS drops below 60 even on Medium settings (60.5 FPS). This suggests that for 4K gaming, the RTX 2070 SUPER is only viable on Low settings, where it hits 80.4 FPS.

The transition from 1440p to 4K highlights the GPU’s memory bandwidth constraints. At 2560x1440, the card delivers 154.2 FPS on Low and 75.9 FPS on Ultra, which is a respectable range. At 4K, the same settings yield 80.4 FPS and 36.4 FPS respectively, showing a 50% reduction in performance at the extreme. The 12 nm process node and 215 W TDP indicate that this is an older, power-hungry design, but for a game like this, the GPU still provides playable frame rates at 1440p with high visual quality.

How This Combo Ranks

In the global database of tested hardware combinations for Pc Building Simulator, this specific pairing of the Ryzen 5 9600X and RTX 2070 SUPER occupies the 1082nd position out of 1769 combos. This places it in the 61st percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 61% of all combinations deliver better performance in this game. The ranking reflects a system that is capable but not exceptional, primarily due to the GPU’s age and mid-range positioning.

The CPU’s contribution to this ranking is solid, as the Ryzen 5 9600X sits in the 85th percentile among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 28246 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, with a delta of only 0.3% against the Intel Core i5-13490F and a 0.4% deficit to the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS. In contrast, the GPU’s 65th percentile ranking drags the overall combo down. The RTX 2070 SUPER’s average score of 22206 is within 2.5% of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 and 0.9% above the GTX TITAN Z, but it lags behind the RTX 4060 Mobile by 2.3%.

This discrepancy between CPU and GPU performance tiers explains the combo’s mid-pack rank. The processor is capable of feeding the graphics card at 1080p, as evidenced by the 244.5 FPS low-settings result, but the GPU cannot sustain that performance at higher resolutions. For a simulation game that is not graphically intensive, the combo still ranks above the median, but users seeking top-tier performance would need a more powerful GPU to match the CPU’s potential.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the combo excels: Low settings produce 244.5 FPS, Medium delivers 174.8 FPS, High hits 123.9 FPS, and Ultra maintains 120.5 FPS. These numbers show that at 1080p, the system is never CPU-bound, and even the heaviest settings remain highly playable on high-refresh-rate monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show the GPU starting to work harder. Low settings yield 154.2 FPS, Medium drops to 112.2 FPS, High comes in at 78.4 FPS, and Ultra settles at 75.9 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is narrow, suggesting that the settings overhead is minimal at this resolution. The system still delivers smooth gameplay, with only Ultra dipping below 80 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings produce 80.4 FPS, which is playable, but Medium drops to 60.5 FPS, High falls to 40.9 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 36.4 FPS. These results indicate that 4K is only viable with Low or Medium settings for a smooth experience. The data shows a consistent pattern: each step from 1080p to 4K roughly halves the performance at equivalent settings, which is typical for a GPU with 8 GB of VRAM and a 256-bit bus.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a predictable pattern of performance degradation that points directly to the GPU as the limiting component. At Low settings, the FPS drops from 244.5 at 1080p to 154.2 at 1440p (a 37% reduction) and then to 80.4 at 4K (a 48% reduction from 1440p). This steep decline is characteristic of a graphics card running out of pixel throughput and memory bandwidth as the pixel count quadruples.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is even more pronounced. The combo delivers 120.5 FPS at 1080p, but this falls to 75.9 FPS at 1440p (a 37% drop) and then to 36.4 FPS at 4K (a 52% drop from 1440p). The fact that the percentage drop increases with resolution and settings strongly suggests that the GPU’s 8 GB memory capacity and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are the primary constraints. The CPU’s role in this scaling is minimal, as its performance metrics—such as the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25525—indicate it has ample headroom to handle the game’s simulation logic at any resolution.

The data also shows that the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference is 124 FPS (244.5 vs 120.5), while at 4K it narrows to 44 FPS (80.4 vs 36.4). This narrowing suggests that at 4K, the GPU is so heavily loaded that changing settings has a relatively smaller impact on the absolute frame rate, further confirming that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the ceiling for this system’s 4K performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X plays a supporting role in Pc Building Simulator, providing enough processing power to avoid becoming a bottleneck at any tested resolution. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture, the CPU has a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support (89.6 GB/s bandwidth) ensure that the game’s system management tasks run smoothly.

The CPU’s benchmark scores confirm its capability. A Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25525 and a single-core score of 3603 place it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, meaning it outperforms 85% of processors on the market. This is critical for a simulation game, where the CPU must handle numerous calculations per frame. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7585 and max-thread score of 7590 show that the CPU scales well with multithreaded workloads, though the game itself may not utilize all 12 threads.

The data indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 244.5 FPS, which is near the practical limit for most displays. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is clearly struggling at 36.4 FPS, the CPU still has headroom, as evidenced by its high single-thread performance. The Ryzen 5 9600X’s 65 W TDP and 4 nm process node also mean it runs efficiently, leaving thermal and power headroom for the GPU to operate at its rated 215 W. In this pairing, the CPU is a reliable foundation, but the RTX 2070 SUPER is the component that dictates the final frame rates.
