Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (launch MSRP $279) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (launch MSRP 599 USD) form a mid-range pairing that handles Pc Building Simulator with ease. In measured testing, this combination ranks 261st out of 1769 tested combos, placing it in the upper tier of systems for this simulation title. The data shows strong frame rates across all resolutions and presets, with the GPU and CPU both contributing to a smooth experience.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, average frame rates drop substantially at every preset. At High settings, the 1080p average is 206.5 FPS, falling to 131.5 at 1440p and 65 at 4K. The Low preset shows the same trend: 407.3 at 1080p, 255.9 at 1440p, and 137 at 4K. Medium goes from 288 to 184.6 to 95.1, while Ultra drops from 195.9 to 125.1 to 62.7. The consistent scaling across all four presets indicates that the graphics card is the primary limiting factor; the CPU is not holding back performance at any resolution. The 4K numbers, while lower, remain playable even at Ultra with 62.7 FPS, and the Low preset at 4K reaches 137 FPS, showing headroom for high-refresh monitors.

The drop from 1080p to 1440p is significant but not as steep as the drop from 1440p to 4K. For example, at High, the 1440p average of 131.5 is roughly two-thirds of the 1080p value of 206.5, while the 4K average of 65 is about half of the 1440p figure. This nonlinear scaling is typical of GPU-bound workloads, where pixel count increases geometrically. The fact that even the Low preset at 4K (137 FPS) is higher than the Ultra preset at 1440p (125.1 FPS) underscores how much resolution affects the rendering load. For a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, which likely involves detailed 3D scenes and UI elements, the GPU's ability to maintain high frame rates at 4K is a strong indicator of its headroom.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1980 MHz with a boost of 2475 MHz, and memory runs at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These specifications translate into strong rasterization performance, as seen in the game's frame rates. The GPU's average benchmark score of 42576 places it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it trails the NVIDIA RTX A6000 by 0.2% and the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE by 0.3%, while leading the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 1.4% and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 1.6%. In Pc Building Simulator, the 12 GB VRAM is more than sufficient; even at 4K Ultra, the game runs within that capacity, as evidenced by the 62.7 FPS average. The GPU's compute capabilities, including 35.48 TFLOPS FP32, ensure that the simulation's rendering tasks are handled without issue.

The memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is particularly relevant for high-resolution textures and complex scenes, which Pc Building Simulator may employ. The boost clock of 2475 MHz allows the GPU to sustain high performance under load, and the 12 GB frame buffer prevents any memory-related stutters at the tested settings. The GPU's percentile ranking of 84 indicates that it outperforms the majority of graphics cards, and its nearest rivals are all within a narrow margin, suggesting that the 4070 SUPER is a well-balanced choice for this game.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, even Ultra delivers 195.9 FPS, so any preset will exceed typical 144 Hz displays. At 2560x1440, Ultra still provides 125.1 FPS, which is smooth for high-refresh gaming. At 3840x2160, the High preset yields 65 FPS, slightly above the Ultra's 62.7, making High the better choice for 4K if you want the best balance of visual quality and frame rate. If you prioritize frame rate over fidelity, Low at 4K gives 137 FPS, and Medium gives 95.1. For a standard 4K display, High's 65 FPS is a comfortable margin over Ultra's 62.7, and the difference in visual quality between High and Ultra is often negligible in simulation titles. The data suggests that High is the recommended preset for 4K, while Ultra is perfectly viable at 1440p and below.

At 1080p, the Low preset's 407.3 FPS is far beyond any practical need, so users can freely crank settings to Ultra without concern. At 1440p, the Ultra preset's 125.1 FPS is still well above 100, making it the best choice for high-refresh monitors. The Medium preset at 4K (95.1 FPS) offers a middle ground for those who want higher frame rates without dropping to Low, but High's 65 FPS is the sweet spot for visual fidelity and smoothness. The measured data provides a clear hierarchy: for 4K, High > Ultra > Medium > Low in terms of quality, but High offers the best frame rate among the higher presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) on a 4 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU's cache includes 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 25525 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3603 in single-core, indicating strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. Its average benchmark score of 28246 places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core i5-13490F and the AMD Ryzen 5 230, and 0.4% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and 0.5% behind the Intel Core i5-14500T. For Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's high single-thread performance is likely more important than core count, as simulation logic often relies on per-core speed. The 6 cores and 12 threads are ample for this game, and the measured FPS shows no CPU bottleneck even at 1080p Low, where the GPU is pushed to 407.3 FPS.

The CPU's boost clock of 5.40 GHz is among the highest in its class, and its single-thread score of 3603 in Cinebench R23 reflects that. The 32 MB of L3 cache helps with data locality, which can benefit simulation workloads that frequently access shared state. The 65 W TDP means the CPU runs cool and efficiently, leaving thermal headroom for the GPU. In this game, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics calculations, and the data indicates that the 9600X does so without limiting frame rates at any resolution or preset.
