Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination delivers a wide range of frame rates in Pc Building Simulator, from 352.5 FPS at 1080p Low to 55.8 FPS at 4K Ultra. The CPU, with a launch MSRP of $279, and the GPU, with a launch MSRP of 699 USD, together rank 519th out of 1769 tested combos in this game. The data shows a clear resolution scaling pattern, with the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck as resolution increases.

Resolution Scaling

At 1080p, the combination produces very high frame rates across all settings. The Low preset reaches 352.5 FPS, Medium 247.6, High 178.3, and Ultra 166.6. Moving to 1440p, these numbers drop to 221.4, 159.6, 109.6, and 104 respectively. At 4K, the Low preset still manages 118.3 FPS, but Medium falls to 79.5, High to 59.8, and Ultra to 55.8. The scaling from 1080p to 4K is consistent: each resolution step reduces the average FPS substantially for the higher settings. For example, High at 1080p is 178.3, at 1440p it is 109.6, and at 4K it is 59.8. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU's performance remains constant while the GPU's workload increases. The 1080p Low result of 352.5 FPS suggests the CPU can push far more frames than the GPU can render at that resolution, but at 4K the GPU's rendering capacity caps the output.

GPU Role

The RTX 3080 features 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus, providing 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock is 1710 MHz, and it delivers 29.77 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's average benchmark score is 35787, placing it in the 80th percentile of all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.4% higher than the AMD Radeon 880M's 35646 and 1% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 35435, but 0.2% lower than the AMD Radeon Pro Duo's 35860 and 0.9% lower than the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE's 36101. The measured frame rates show that the GPU is capable of handling this simulation at all tested settings, with the lowest result being 55.8 FPS at 4K Ultra. The 10 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game's demands, as no settings produce unplayable frame rates. The GPU's 8704 shading units and 272 texture mapping units contribute to its ability to maintain high frame rates even at 4K, though the Ultra preset at that resolution dips below 60 FPS.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. It has 32 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. Its average benchmark score is 28246, which is 0.3% higher than the Intel Core i5-13490F's 28173 and 0.3% higher than the AMD Ryzen 5 230's 28164. It is 0.4% lower than the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS's 28369 and 0.5% lower than the Intel Core i5-14500T's 28377. The CPU sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. In this game, the CPU's single-thread performance, as indicated by a 3DMark single-thread score of 1253 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3603, likely drives the high frame rates at 1080p, where the GPU is not stressed. At 4K, the CPU's role diminishes as the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The CPU's multi-thread capabilities, reflected in a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25525, ensure that the simulation's background tasks do not create a bottleneck even at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution. At 4K, the Medium preset delivers 79.5 FPS, which is a comfortable margin above the High preset's 59.8 and Ultra's 55.8. Low at 4K reaches 118.3 FPS, but Medium offers a better visual quality while still maintaining a high frame rate. For 1440p, High provides 109.6 FPS, while Ultra is 104 FPS; the difference is small, so High is a safe choice. At 1080p, all settings exceed 166.6 FPS, so Ultra at 166.6 FPS is the best experience, as it is the highest quality setting and still maintains a high frame rate. The data suggests that for a smooth 4K experience, Medium is the recommended preset, while for 1440p and 1080p, High and Ultra respectively offer the best balance of quality and performance.
