Pc Building Simulator

Measured FPS rows for Pc Building Simulator pair the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 under Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings. The game is a Simulation title released on 2019-01-28, and the rows are marked as measured rather than estimated. The CPU is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 5 desktop part on AMD Socket AM5, released on 2024-08-07; the GPU is a Blackwell 2.0 GeForce 50-series card with 8 GB of GDDR7, released on 2025-05-18. In this game, the combination ranks 887 of 1769 tested combos.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows make the preset trade-off easy to read. At 1920x1080, Low averages 283.4 fps, Medium 200.5 fps, High 139.6 fps, and Ultra 132.5 fps. At 2560x1440, Low averages 177.1 fps, Medium 123.4 fps, High 89 fps, and Ultra 84.9 fps. At 3840x2160, Low averages 92 fps, Medium 65.9 fps, High 45.8 fps, and Ultra 44.8 fps. The High-to-Ultra gap is narrow at every resolution: from 139.6 to 132.5 at 1920x1080, from 89 to 84.9 at 2560x1440, and from 45.8 to 44.8 at 3840x2160. Because that gap is small, Ultra is the recommended preset at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440; it provides the highest settings with only a small average-FPS reduction compared to High. At 3840x2160, Medium is the strongest recommendation. Medium holds 65.9 fps, while High and Ultra sit at 45.8 and 44.8 respectively. For users who prefer the Ultra preset over Medium, the measured data suggests 2560x1440 Ultra, since that row averages 84.9 fps and still uses the Ultra preset. The measured rows only report average FPS, so the analysis cannot account for frame-time spikes, but the preset ordering is clear.

GPU Role

The RTX 5060 is a 5 nm Blackwell 2.0 GPU from NVIDIA's GeForce 50 series, built by TSMC with 21,900 million transistors on a 181 mm² die. It has 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, with 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Base clock is 2280 MHz, boost clock is 2497 MHz, and memory is rated at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The chip includes 3840 shading units, 120 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 30 RT cores, and 120 tensor cores. Its Passmark G3D score is 20891, its Passmark GPU compute score is 10899, and its Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores are 120785 and 116626 respectively. The Passmark DirectX results are 225 for DirectX 9, 200 for DirectX 11, 127 for DirectX 10, and 77 for DirectX 12, with a G2D score of 1154. The average benchmark score is 30109, which is the 73rd percentile among all GPUs. In the nearest-rival comparison, the RTX 5060 is even with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (delta 0 percent), 0.2 percent behind the AMD Radeon RX 570, 0.5 percent ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla M60, and 0.6 percent ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU is visible in the spread between Low and Ultra. At 1920x1080, Low delivers 283.4 fps and Ultra delivers 132.5 fps. At 2560x1440, those figures are 177.1 and 84.9 fps. At 3840x2160, they are 92 and 44.8 fps. The 128-bit memory interface and 8 GB GDDR7 capacity are the most likely reasons for the steep loss at 3840x2160. The card's predecessor is the GeForce 40 series, and its launch MSRP is 299 USD.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 887 of 1769 measured combos in Pc Building Simulator. That is near the center of the distribution. The individual parts look stronger in aggregate benchmarks: the CPU is at the 85th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is at the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. The in-game rank is lower than those component percentiles because the measured rows include 3840x2160 results that are much slower. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the combo averages 44.8 fps; at 1920x1080 Ultra, it averages 132.5 fps. The rank is a single value across all rows, so the high-resolution penalty drags it down. The CPU's average benchmark score is 28246 and the GPU's is 30109, but the game-specific rank is 887; synthetic averages and in-game performance do not always line up. Users who play at 1920x1080 would likely see this combo perform closer to the top of the pool, while users at 3840x2160 will see the mid-pack position.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Every measured row is an average FPS value; the min and max FPS fields are null.

| Settings | 1920x1080 | 2560x1440 | 3840x2160 |

| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Low | 283.4 | 177.1 | 92 |

| Medium | 200.5 | 123.4 | 65.9 |

| High | 139.6 | 89 | 45.8 |

| Ultra | 132.5 | 84.9 | 44.8 |

At 1920x1080, Low is 283.4 fps, Medium 200.5 fps, High 139.6 fps, and Ultra 132.5 fps. At 2560x1440, the same order holds: Low 177.1 fps, Medium 123.4 fps, High 89 fps, Ultra 84.9 fps. At 3840x2160, Low 92 fps, Medium 65.9 fps, High 45.8 fps, Ultra 44.8 fps. The preset ordering is consistent at every resolution.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution scaling is steep. Low goes from 283.4 fps at 1920x1080 to 177.1 fps at 2560x1440 and then to 92 fps at 3840x2160. Medium goes from 200.5 to 123.4 to 65.9. High goes from 139.6 to 89 to 45.8. Ultra goes from 132.5 to 84.9 to 44.8. Every preset loses a large amount of average FPS when moving to a higher resolution. The GPU's bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s and its 8 GB GDDR7 capacity are the hardware facts that line up with this scaling behavior. The CPU, with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz and 32 MB of L3 cache, does not show the same bottleneck signature; if the CPU were the limit, the 1920x1080 Low row would be much closer to the 3840x2160 Low row. Instead, 283.4 fps at 1920x1080 Low drops to 92 fps at 3840x2160 Low.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 9000 series, built on Zen 5 architecture with the Granite Ridge codename. TSMC manufactures it on a 4 nm node, with 8,315 million transistors in a 70.6 mm² die. It runs at a 3.90 GHz base clock and a 5.40 GHz boost clock within a 65 W TDP. The L3 cache is 32 MB shared, and the memory controller supports DDR5 on a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth and ECC support. The CPU's average benchmark score is 28246, putting it at the 85th percentile of all CPUs. Relative to its nearest rivals, it is 0.3 percent ahead of the Intel Core i5-13490F and the AMD Ryzen 5 230, 0.4 percent behind the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, and 0.5 percent behind the Intel Core i5-14500T.

Multi-threaded results are strong: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 25525, Geekbench multi-core 15182, Passmark multithread 30027, and 3DMark max-thread 7590. It also scores 7585 in 3DMark 16-thread, 6726 in 8-thread, 4649 in 4-thread, and 2456 in 2-thread. Single-thread results are also high: Cinebench R23 single-core 3603, Geekbench single-core 3363, Passmark single-thread 4570, and 3DMark single-thread 1253. In Pc Building Simulator, those results show up at 1920x1080 Low, where the combo reaches 283.4 fps. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the combo falls to 44.8 fps, which is a GPU-side limitation rather than a CPU-side one. The CPU's launch MSRP is $279.
