Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a Simulation title that launched on 2019-01-28, and for this combo the measured data is clear: the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with an AMD Radeon RX 580 ranks 1646 out of 1769 tested combos. The CPU is a strong compute part, while the GPU sits near the middle of the GPU range, and the measured frame rates confirm that this pairing is most comfortable at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1646 out of 1769 tested combinations in Pc Building Simulator. That places this Ryzen 7 3700X + RX 580 build in the lower portion of the benchmark database’s combo table. The CPU alone is not the reason. The 3700X sits in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 28631. Its nearest listed rivals are the Intel Core i5-12600 at 28654 with a delta of -0.1%, the Intel Core i5-12600H at 28666 with -0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT at 28591 with +0.1%, and the AMD EPYC 7203P at 28583 with +0.2%.

The GPU, however, is a middle-of-the-pack part. The RX 580 sits in the 53rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 13559. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 at 13564 with a 0% delta, the GTX 950 at 13549 with +0.1%, the AMD Radeon Pro 455 at 13416 with +1.1%, and the NVIDIA P106-090 at 13716 with -1.1%. When combined, the lower GPU standing dominates the outcome: the in-game rank is much closer to the GPU’s 53rd percentile than the CPU’s 85th percentile. Benchmark results indicate a combo with real compute potential whose actual game performance is constrained by the graphics processor.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 3700X is a 3000-series desktop part built on TSMC’s 7 nm process. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, a 3.60 GHz base clock and a 4.40 GHz boost clock, and a 65 W TDP. The CPU uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform and the Zen 2 Matisse architecture, with a 32 MB L3 cache and 512 KB L2 cache per core. Memory support is DDR4 over a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and the CPU provides PCIe Gen 4 with 24 lanes (CPU only). The multiplier is unlocked, which fits a component aimed at enthusiasts who like to tune their systems.

The CPU’s benchmark scores reinforce its desktop position. In Cinebench R15 it scores 1923 multicore and 271 singlecore. In Cinebench R20 it scores 8016 multicore and 1131 singlecore. In Cinebench R23 the multicore score is 19087 and the single-core score is 2694. Geekbench gives it 8083 multicore and 1672 singlecore, while Passmark multithread comes in at 22458 and Passmark single-thread at 2656. Passmark data compression reaches 296379, and Passmark data encryption reaches 18900.

These results put the 3700X in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, and the immediate rival list shows how tight the top of this comparison group is. The average score of 28631 is within 0.1% of the Intel Core i5-12600 and i5-12600H, and within 0.2% of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT and EPYC 7203P. For a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, the 16 threads give the CPU room to handle the system-building logic while maintaining high frame delivery at lower graphics loads. At 1920x1080 Low, the measured average FPS is 123.1, demonstrating that the CPU can drive very high frame rates when the GPU is not under heavy load.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 580 is a Polaris 20 part built on GlobalFoundries’ 14 nm process. It carries 2304 shading units, 144 texture units, and 32 ROPs, with a base clock of 1257 MHz and a boost clock of 1340 MHz. The memory subsystem is 8 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth at 2000 MHz, or 8 Gbps effective. The card is a dual-slot design with a 185 W TDP, a suggested PSU of 450 W, and one 8-pin power connector. Its length is 241 mm (9.5 inches), and display outputs include 1x HDMI 2.0b and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 13559, which places it in the 53rd percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rival list is tight: the GeForce GTX 570 scores 13564 with a 0% delta, the GTX 950 scores 13549 with +0.1%, the Radeon Pro 455 scores 13416 with +1.1%, and the P106-090 scores 13716 with -1.1%. This is a card that trades blows with old guard competitors and doesn’t pull away from them.

The 8 GB VRAM is a useful amount for 1080p work. At 1920x1080 Ultra, the measured average is 56.9 fps, so the GPU can handle the top preset at the lowest resolution. At 4K, the same memory pool and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth are heavily stressed, and the measured average drops to 18.4 fps on High and 19.4 fps on Ultra. The GPU supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3, which covers the API surface of a modern simulation title. Its production status is end-of-life, with Artic Islands as predecessor and Vega as successor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset provides average FPS for three resolutions and four settings. Minimum and maximum FPS fields are null, so this breakdown uses average FPS only.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

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

| 1920x1080 | Low | 123.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 87.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 58.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 56.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 76.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 52.7 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 39.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 34.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 38 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 27.2 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 18.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 19.4 |

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 123.1 fps on Low and 87.9 on Medium, making it a capable 1080p system for the lower presets. Moving to High lowers the average to 58.9, and Ultra lands at 56.9, a relatively narrow step from High. At 2560x1440, Low still averages 76.2 fps, but Medium falls to 52.7, High to 39.8, and Ultra to 34.6. This suggests 1440p is playable at Low or Medium, but the higher presets quickly lose frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes. Low averages 38 fps, Medium averages 27.2, and the High and Ultra presets sit at 18.4 and 19.4 respectively. The Ultra figure being slightly above High is an anomaly in the measured data, but both presets are clearly outside the comfortable range. The scaling from 1080p Low to 1440p Low moves from 123.1 to 76.2 fps, and from 1440p Low to 4K Low it moves from 76.2 to 38 fps. The measured data shows that the most consistent results appear at 1080p Low and Medium.
