Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a measured performance profile in Pc Building Simulator that is heavily dictated by resolution and preset. The data set includes 12 measured FPS points across three resolutions and four quality settings, with the combo ranking 1394th out of 1769 tested combinations. The CPU, a Zen 2 8-core/16-thread part with a 3.60 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost, and the GPU, a Battlemage Xe2-HPG chip with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, together produce results that range from a 215 FPS average at 1080p Low to a 33.1 FPS average at 4K High. The CPU carries a launch MSRP of $329, while the GPU has a launch MSRP of 249 USD.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS values show a steep drop as resolution increases, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at higher pixel counts. At the High preset, the average frame rate falls from 105.5 FPS at 1920x1080 to 68.1 FPS at 2560x1440, and then to 33.1 FPS at 3840x2160. That is a reduction of roughly two-thirds from 1080p to 4K, though the exact numbers are 105.5, 68.1, and 33.1. The Low preset follows a similar pattern: 215 FPS at 1080p, 136 FPS at 1440p, and 72.5 FPS at 4K. The Medium preset yields 151.7, 97.5, and 49.6 FPS respectively, while Ultra produces 104.7, 62.8, and 33.8 FPS.

The scaling behavior indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions. At 1080p, even the Ultra preset maintains an average above 100 FPS, suggesting the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU. The Ryzen 7 3700X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is not the bottleneck at this resolution. As resolution climbs to 1440p and 4K, the frame rate drops proportionally more, which is consistent with the Arc B580's compute and memory bandwidth constraints. The GPU's 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 13.67 TFLOPS FP32 throughput are sufficient for 1080p but become stressed at 4K, where only the Low preset manages to stay above 60 FPS (72.5 FPS). The 4K High and Ultra results, at 33.1 and 33.8 FPS, are below the threshold for smooth gameplay, confirming that the GPU is the limiting factor at that resolution.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear picture of which preset offers the best experience at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 105.5 FPS, while Ultra is nearly identical at 104.7 FPS. The difference is negligible, so High is the better choice because it achieves essentially the same frame rate with less graphical overhead. Medium at 151.7 FPS is also smooth, but High provides a better visual quality without sacrificing performance. Low at 215 FPS is unnecessary for most users, as the game is already well above 60 FPS at High.

At 2560x1440, High again stands out with 68.1 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra drops to 62.8 FPS, still playable but with a noticeable reduction. Medium offers 97.5 FPS, which is very smooth, but High provides a better balance of visual fidelity and frame rate. Low at 136 FPS is overkill for a simulation game. For 4K, the situation is different. Only Low achieves a playable average of 72.5 FPS. Medium falls to 49.6 FPS, and both High and Ultra are in the low 30s (33.1 and 33.8 FPS). Therefore, the recommended preset is High for 1080p and 1440p, and Low for 4K. The data shows that Ultra offers no meaningful advantage over High at any resolution, as the differences are within a few FPS (105.5 vs 104.7 at 1080p, 68.1 vs 62.8 at 1440p, and 33.1 vs 33.8 at 4K).

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1394 out of 1769 places it in the lower portion of the field for Pc Building Simulator. This is notable because the individual components have respectable benchmark standings. The Ryzen 7 3700X sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 28631. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12600, scores 28654, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the 3700X is essentially on par. The Intel Arc B580, meanwhile, is at the 66th percentile among GPUs, with an average score of 23021. Its closest competitor, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, scores 23181, a delta of -0.7%, so the B580 is slightly slower. Despite these competitive individual scores, the combined performance in this simulation game is below average. The low rank suggests that Pc Building Simulator is particularly demanding on the GPU at higher resolutions, or that the CPU-GPU pairing is not optimally balanced for this title. The GPU's 66th percentile is lower than the CPU's 85th, indicating that the GPU is the weaker link in this combo, which aligns with the resolution scaling analysis.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is a Zen 2 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, a base clock of 3.60 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It has a 32 MB L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is to handle the simulation logic and feed the GPU. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (215 FPS) demonstrates that the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions; it can deliver frame rates far beyond what the GPU can render at higher settings. The CPU's multi-threaded performance, as evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19087, provides ample headroom for the game's simulation tasks. Single-threaded performance is also strong, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2694, which helps with game logic that may be single-threaded. The 8-core/16-thread configuration is well-suited for a simulation genre, where background calculations and entity updates can benefit from parallel processing. However, the data shows that at 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, as the frame rate drops significantly regardless of the CPU's capabilities. The CPU's 65 W TDP and 7 nm process node are not directly reflected in the game's performance, but they indicate an efficient design. Overall, the Ryzen 7 3700X provides sufficient processing power to avoid becoming a bottleneck in this title, allowing the Arc B580 to be the primary determinant of frame rate at higher resolutions.
