Pc Building Simulator

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 places at rank 1717 out of 1769 tested combinations in Pc Building Simulator. This positions the combo in the bottom 3% of all systems evaluated, indicating that this pairing is fundamentally mismatched for the demands of this simulation title. The CPU itself is a solid mid-range performer — its average benchmark score of 27220 puts it in the 84th percentile among all processors, edging out the Intel Core i9-9900K by 0.7% and the Intel Core i7-12700H by 0.8%. The GPU, however, tells a different story: its average benchmark score of 30158 places it in the 74th percentile, but its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (ahead by 0.2%) and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (ahead by 0.2%), which are far more modern parts.

The discrepancy between the CPU's relative strength and the GPU's dated architecture explains the low combo rank. The Ryzen 7 5700, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides ample processing headroom, but the RX 570's Polaris 20 chip, built on a 14 nm process, becomes the bottleneck in nearly every scenario. Benchmark results indicate that this combo struggles to deliver playable frame rates at higher resolutions, and even at 1080p, the system only manages to cross the 60 FPS threshold on Low settings. The data suggests that users seeking a smooth Pc Building Simulator experience would need to either upgrade the GPU substantially or accept significant visual compromises.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the limiting factor in this configuration. Its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is adequate for older titles but insufficient for the memory demands of modern simulation games at high resolutions. The GPU's base clock of 1168 MHz and boost clock of 1244 MHz, combined with 2048 shading units and 32 ROPs, yield a pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 159.2 GTexel/s. These specifications translate to 5.095 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is modest by contemporary standards.

In Pc Building Simulator specifically, the GPU's role becomes evident when examining the measured FPS across settings. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 52.7 FPS, but dropping to High only recovers 3.6 FPS (56.3 FPS), suggesting that the GPU is already saturated. The VRAM capacity of 4 GB is particularly problematic at 1440p and 4K, where texture data exceeds what the memory can efficiently handle. At 2560x1440 Ultra, the average FPS falls to 30.5, and at 3840x2160 Ultra, it plummets to 16.8 FPS. These numbers indicate that the RX 570 simply does not have the memory bandwidth or compute throughput to sustain playable frame rates beyond 1080p, regardless of the CPU's capabilities.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience for this combo is at 1920x1080 with Medium settings, delivering 78.4 FPS. This configuration provides a smooth, responsive experience while maintaining visual fidelity sufficient for a simulation game where UI readability and part details matter. Low settings at 1080p yield 108.3 FPS, which is the only configuration that approaches high-refresh-rate territory, but the visual quality degradation may not be worth the extra 30 FPS given the game's non-competitive nature.

At 2560x1440, the situation becomes more constrained. Low settings deliver 69 FPS, which is playable, but Medium drops to 46.8 FPS and High falls to 32.3 FPS. The data shows that 1440p is only viable on Low settings for this combo. At 3840x2160, no settings preset produces playable frame rates — even Low yields only 35.1 FPS, which is below the typical 40 FPS minimum for smooth simulation gameplay. Users with 4K displays should avoid this combo entirely or be prepared to run the game at a reduced resolution. The recommendation is clear: 1080p Medium balances performance and visuals, while 1440p Low is the fallback for users with higher-resolution monitors.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates its best performance. Low settings produce 108.3 FPS, Medium delivers 78.4 FPS, High reaches 56.3 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 52.7 FPS. The progression from Low to Medium represents a 27.6% performance drop, while the jump from Medium to High costs another 28.2%. The step from High to Ultra is comparatively minor, losing only 6.4% of performance. This pattern suggests that the GPU struggles most with settings that increase shading complexity rather than raw texture resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance cliff becomes apparent. Low settings yield 69 FPS, a 36.3% reduction from 1080p Low. Medium drops to 46.8 FPS (40.3% lower than 1080p Medium), High falls to 32.3 FPS (42.6% lower), and Ultra reaches 30.5 FPS (42.1% lower). The consistent ~40% performance penalty across all settings at 1440p indicates that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the primary constraints, not the CPU.

At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly poor. Low settings produce 35.1 FPS, Medium delivers 23 FPS, High reaches 15.5 FPS, and Ultra manages only 16.8 FPS. Notably, Ultra slightly outperforms High at 4K, which could indicate driver-level optimizations or measurement variance, but both are far below playability thresholds. The 4K Low result of 35.1 FPS represents a 49.1% drop from 1440p Low, showing that pixel count scaling is nearly linear with the GPU's limitations.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a GPU-bound system. From 1080p Low (108.3 FPS) to 1440p Low (69 FPS), performance decreases by 36.3%. From 1440p Low to 4K Low (35.1 FPS), the additional drop is 49.1%. The total reduction from 1080p Low to 4K Low is 67.6%. This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU that is heavily limited by pixel throughput — as resolution increases, the number of pixels quadruples from 1080p to 4K, but the RX 570's 32 ROPs and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth cannot keep pace.

For Medium settings, the scaling is even more severe: 78.4 FPS at 1080p, 46.8 FPS at 1440p (-40.3%), and 23 FPS at 4K (-50.9%). The cumulative drop from 1080p Medium to 4K Medium is 70.7%. High settings show 56.3 FPS at 1080p, 32.3 FPS at 1440p (-42.6%), and 15.5 FPS at 4K (-52.0%), totaling a 72.5% reduction. Ultra settings follow suit: 52.7 FPS at 1080p, 30.5 FPS at 1440p (-42.1%), and 16.8 FPS at 4K (-44.9%), for a total drop of 68.1%.

The near-consistent ~40% penalty from 1080p to 1440p and ~50% penalty from 1440p to 4K across all settings indicates that the limiting component is the GPU's raw pixel processing capability, not memory capacity or CPU throughput. The Ryzen 7 5700's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s are more than sufficient for this workload. The data conclusively shows that the RX 570's 14 nm Polaris architecture, with its 5.095 TFLOPS peak performance, is the bottleneck at every resolution above 1080p, and even at 1080p Ultra, the system barely maintains 52.7 FPS. Users considering this combo for Pc Building Simulator should plan for 1080p gaming exclusively, with Medium settings as the sweet spot.
