How This Combo Ranks

The 267th position out of 1769 tested combos places this CPU-GPU pair in the upper tier of configurations for Pc Building Simulator. This ranking is particularly notable because the Ryzen 7 3700X is a Zen 2 architecture processor from 2019, while the RTX 5090 is a Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU from 2025, representing a generational mismatch that still yields strong results.

The CPU's percentile rank of 85 among all processors indicates it remains a capable performer, despite being six generations old at the time of this testing. Its average benchmark score of 28,631 points nearly matches the Intel Core i5-12600 (28,654 points), with a negligible -0.1% delta. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT comes in slightly lower at 28,591 points, a 0.1% delta, while the AMD EPYC 7203P trails farther at 28,583 points.

The GPU side tells a different story. The RTX 5090's 94th percentile ranking among all graphics cards reflects its position as a flagship product. Its average benchmark score of 84,306 points is only 0.1% above the RTX 5090 D (84,241 points) and 0.2% above the RTX 5050 Mobile (84,171 points). The AMD Radeon PRO W6600 scores 83,209 points, a 1.3% delta, while the NVIDIA CMP 40HX leads slightly at 85,637 points.

This combination's ranking in Pc Building Simulator specifically suggests the simulation's workload benefits from the GPU's massive compute resources, even when paired with an older CPU. The 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 3700X with its 3.60 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost clocks provides enough processing power to keep the RTX 5090 fed in most scenarios, though the data reveals some bottlenecks at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090's specifications explain its dominance in Pc Building Simulator. With 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, the card delivers 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for a simulation game that manages many system components and their associated textures. The 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output pipelines provide the raw compute throughput needed for complex scene rendering.

Clock speeds of 2017 MHz base and 2407 MHz boost allow the Blackwell 2.0 architecture to maintain high utilization during gameplay. The memory clock of 1750 MHz translates to 28 Gbps effective, which helps maintain consistent frame delivery even when the simulation spawns numerous objects or effects. The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 1,636.8 GTexel/s texture rate are directly relevant to how quickly the game can render its interface and 3D components.

The GPU's 94th percentile ranking among all graphics cards is reflected in the measured frame rates. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combination achieves 266.7 FPS average, which drops to 200.9 FPS at Ultra settings. The RTX 5090's 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores also contribute to its overall benchmark scores, including a PassMark G3D score of 39,650 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 379,571.

However, the GPU's capabilities are not fully utilized at every resolution. The data shows diminishing returns as resolution increases, with the simulation becoming more CPU-bound. This is consistent with the CPU's 85th percentile ranking and its 65W TDP, which limits sustained multithreaded performance compared to newer processors.

Settings Recommendations

The measured frame rates across all three resolutions and four quality presets provide clear guidance for optimal settings. At 1920x1080, every preset delivers playable frame rates, with Low hitting 266.7 FPS, Medium at 236.8 FPS, High at 206.9 FPS, and Ultra at 200.9 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is only 65.8 FPS, suggesting the game is not particularly demanding at this resolution.

For 2560x1440, the results remain strong but show a wider spread. Low settings produce 227.9 FPS, Medium drops to 203.2 FPS, High reaches 167.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 162 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 35.8 FPS, which is more significant than at 1080p. Players with 144Hz monitors can comfortably use High settings, while those with 240Hz displays should consider Medium.

At 3840x2160, the CPU bottleneck becomes apparent. Low settings achieve 177.5 FPS, Medium drops to 125.8 FPS, High reaches 87 FPS, and Ultra falls to 85.8 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium costs 51.7 FPS, which is substantial. High and Ultra are nearly identical, with only a 1.2 FPS difference, indicating that the GPU is not the limiting factor at these settings.

The best experience for 4K gaming is Medium settings, which provides 125.8 FPS and maintains smooth gameplay without the visual degradation of Low settings. For 1440p, High settings at 167.4 FPS offer the best balance of visual quality and performance. At 1080p, Ultra at 200.9 FPS is recommended since the GPU has ample headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete dataset reveals how this combination scales across resolutions and quality presets. At 3840x2160, the average frame rate ranges from 85.8 FPS at Ultra to 177.5 FPS at Low. Medium settings deliver 125.8 FPS, while High settings achieve 87 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is minimal at 1.2 FPS, suggesting that Ultra settings impose no additional cost over High at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance improves substantially. Low settings reach 227.9 FPS, Medium achieves 203.2 FPS, High delivers 167.4 FPS, and Ultra maintains 162 FPS. The scaling from 4K to 1440p shows a 28.4% improvement at Low settings, 61.5% at Medium, 92.4% at High, and 88.8% at Ultra. This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU becomes more efficient at lower resolutions.

At 1920x1080, the results show further gains. Low settings hit 266.7 FPS, Medium reaches 236.8 FPS, High achieves 206.9 FPS, and Ultra delivers 200.9 FPS. From 1440p to 1080p, performance improves by 17% at Low, 16.5% at Medium, 23.6% at High, and 24% at Ultra. The larger relative gains at High and Ultra suggest reduced GPU load allows the CPU to keep pace more effectively.

The CPU's benchmark scores provide context for these results. The Ryzen 7 3700X achieves 19,087 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 8,016 points in R20 multi-core. Its PassMark multithread score of 22,458 and single-thread score of 2,656 indicate balanced performance. The CPU's 32 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient for the simulation's demands, though the 3,800 million transistors on a 74 mm² die show its age compared to modern processors.

The RTX 5090's benchmark scores complement the measured FPS data. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14,411 and PassMark G3D score of 39,650 place it among the top GPUs. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 380,114 and Vulkan score of 379,571 confirm its compute capabilities. These scores align with the observed 4K performance, where the GPU's 32 GB VRAM and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth prevent any memory-related bottlenecks.
