GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 serves as the primary rendering engine in this configuration, and its specifications directly explain the measured performance in Pc Building Simulator. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz, built on the AD103 chip using Ada Lovelace architecture at a 5 nm process node. With 9,728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs, the card delivers 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which translates into the high frame rates observed across all tested settings.

The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 256-bit bus width provides 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, a figure that becomes particularly relevant at higher resolutions. The data shows this memory configuration handles 4K resolution effectively, as the card maintains playable frame rates even at Ultra settings with an average of 74 FPS. The GPU's 76 ray tracing cores and 304 tensor cores contribute to its overall capability, though Pc Building Simulator's simulation-focused workload appears to rely more heavily on raw rasterization throughput.

The RTX 4080's benchmark scores reinforce its position in the GPU hierarchy. It achieves a PassMark G3D score of 34,457 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 214,739, with a percentile ranking of 86 against all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, scores within 0.1% of the same average, indicating that this card sits at a performance tier where minor architectural differences produce negligible real-world impact. The memory clock runs at 1400 MHz with 22.4 Gbps effective speed, and the card's 320 W TDP with a triple-slot design suggests substantial cooling requirements for sustained performance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals distinct scaling patterns as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, and these patterns indicate where the bottleneck shifts between CPU and GPU. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 460 FPS average, which drops to 297 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 155 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 66% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, showing that even at the lowest quality preset, resolution still imposes significant rendering demands.

Moving to Medium settings, the scaling shows 333 FPS at 1080p, 210 FPS at 1440p, and 110 FPS at 4K, with the 1080p to 4K drop being 67%. At High settings, the values are 235 FPS at 1080p, 148 FPS at 1440p, and 78 FPS at 4K, representing a 67% reduction as well. Ultra settings produce 224 FPS at 1080p, 141 FPS at 1440p, and 74 FPS at 4K, with a 67% decrease from the lowest to highest resolution.

The consistency of this 66-67% reduction across all settings suggests that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The fact that Ultra settings at 1080p (224 FPS) still exceeds Low settings at 4K (155 FPS) by 45% indicates that resolution scaling has a more pronounced effect on performance than quality settings do. The gap between 1440p and 4K is notably larger than the gap between 1080p and 1440p in absolute terms, with the 4K Ultra result of 74 FPS remaining above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Settings Recommendations

Analyzing the measured data across all resolutions and settings, the Medium preset emerges as the most balanced choice for this combo in Pc Building Simulator. At 4K, Medium produces 110 FPS average with a minimum of 93 FPS and maximum of 126 FPS, providing a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS standard while maintaining visual quality. The 16 FPS gap between minimum and average at this setting suggests stable frame delivery without significant drops.

At 1440p, Medium delivers 210 FPS average with 179 FPS minimum and 242 FPS maximum, which represents an excellent experience for high-refresh-rate displays. The 1080p Medium result of 333 FPS average with 283 FPS minimum and 383 FPS maximum demonstrates that this setting scales well across all resolutions without introducing frame pacing issues.

High settings offer a modest visual improvement over Medium but come with a notable performance cost. At 4K, High produces 78 FPS average compared to Medium's 110 FPS, a 29% reduction. The Ultra preset provides the least additional value, with 4K Ultra at 74 FPS representing only a 5% drop from High while requiring the most demanding settings. For users prioritizing frame rate stability, Medium provides the best combination of visual fidelity and performance headroom, while those with 60 Hz displays may find High settings acceptable at 4K given the 78 FPS average remains above the refresh threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest performance across all settings. Low settings produce 460 FPS average, Medium produces 333 FPS with a minimum of 283 FPS and maximum of 383 FPS, High produces 235 FPS, and Ultra produces 224 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is 127 FPS, while the difference between High and Ultra is only 11 FPS, indicating diminishing returns as settings increase.

At 2560x1440, the measured results show 297 FPS at Low, 210 FPS at Medium with 179 FPS minimum and 242 FPS maximum, 148 FPS at High, and 141 FPS at Ultra. The transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 35-38% of performance depending on settings, with Low experiencing a 35% drop and Ultra experiencing a 37% drop. The Medium setting maintains a minimum of 179 FPS, which remains well above typical refresh rate targets.

At 3840x2160, the results are 155 FPS at Low, 110 FPS at Medium with 93 FPS minimum and 126 FPS maximum, 78 FPS at High, and 74 FPS at Ultra. The 4K Medium minimum of 93 FPS confirms that this setting avoids any frame drops below the 60 FPS threshold. The gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 4 FPS at this resolution, suggesting that the GPU's rendering capacity reaches its practical limit for this game's workload at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X provides the processing foundation for this combo, operating with 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture at Granite Ridge codename. The CPU runs at a 3.90 GHz base clock and boosts to 5.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP that keeps power requirements modest. Built on a 4 nm process with 8,315 million transistors, the processor includes 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache.

The CPU's benchmark results demonstrate strong single-thread and multi-thread capabilities that complement the GPU's rendering power. The single-thread score of 1,253 in 3DMark and 2,183.5 in Cinebench R23 indicate excellent per-core performance, which matters for Pc Building Simulator's simulation logic. The multi-thread scores of 7,590 in 3DMark max threads and 17,528.5 in Cinebench R23 show that the 6-core configuration handles threaded workloads effectively.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 29,713 places it at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, with its nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE at 0.2% higher, the Ryzen 7 7840H at 0.5% lower, and the Ryzen 7 5800XT at 0.6% lower. These margins indicate the 9600X sits in a tightly contested performance band. The memory support for DDR5 with dual-channel configuration provides 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth, which at 1080p Low settings where the CPU has more influence on frame rates, the 460 FPS result suggests the processor can feed the GPU effectively without becoming a limiting factor.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 achieves a rank of 188 out of 3,723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 5% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the balanced nature of the pairing, where the CPU's strong single-thread performance complements the GPU's high rendering throughput without either component creating a significant bottleneck.

The CPU's 81st percentile ranking among all processors and the GPU's 86th percentile among all graphics cards indicate that both components perform above average in their respective categories. The combo rank of 188 out of 3,723 suggests that the combination performs better than the individual percentiles might imply, as the synergy between the 9600X's fast cores and the RTX 4080's substantial memory bandwidth creates an efficient pipeline for this simulation game.

The measured FPS data supports this high ranking, with even the most demanding configuration (4K Ultra) maintaining 74 FPS average, which exceeds the standard 60 FPS target. At more common gaming resolutions, the combo provides substantial headroom, with 1440p Medium producing 210 FPS and 1080p Medium producing 333 FPS. The rank of 188 means that only 187 other combinations out of 3,723 tested deliver better overall performance in this game, placing this setup firmly in enthusiast-tier territory.
