Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that tasks players with assembling and troubleshooting PCs, and the measured frame rates for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT show a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-limited at higher resolutions but surprisingly CPU-bound at 1080p. The data indicates this combo ranks 742nd out of 3723 tested configurations, placing it in the top 20% of all possible pairings for this game. The benchmark results show that this system is capable of delivering playable frame rates at every tested setting, though the relationship between resolution and performance reveals where the bottleneck shifts.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This 7nm chip from TSMC has 16 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU achieves a single-thread score of 901 in 3dmark and 2916 in Cinebench R23 single-core, while its multi-threaded performance reaches 6617 in 3dmark max threads and 20655 in Cinebench R23 multicore. These numbers place the Ryzen 7 5700 in the 78th percentile of all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 25517.

For a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's job is primarily to manage the game's logic, component interactions, and UI updates rather than rendering complex scenes. The data shows the CPU performs nearly identically to its nearest rivals: it is 0.1% slower than the Intel Xeon D-2752TER and AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, but 0.1% faster than the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U and 0.3% faster than the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U. These negligible deltas mean the 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for this game's threading demands, as evidenced by the fact that the 16-thread 3dmark score of 6628 nearly matches the max-thread score of 6617, indicating the CPU scales well with all available threads.

At 1080p resolution, the CPU's role becomes more pronounced because the GPU is not being fully utilized. The measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 332 FPS, but at 1080p Ultra it drops to 189 FPS — a difference that is more attributable to the GPU's workload than CPU limitations. However, the fact that the 1080p Medium setting yields 281 FPS with a minimum of 238 FPS suggests the CPU can feed frames fast enough to keep the GPU busy, as the minimum FPS here is higher than the average FPS at 4K Ultra. The CPU's passmark single-thread score of 3296 and its floating point math score of 51427 indicate it has plenty of headroom for the game's physics and simulation calculations, which are not graphically intensive.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is a high-end RDNA 3.0 graphics card built on the 5nm process, featuring the Navi 31 chip with 57,700 million transistors. It comes with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus, delivering 800.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's boost clock is 2394 MHz, with a game clock of 2025 MHz, and it offers 5376 shading units, 336 TMUs, and 192 ROPs. Its compute capabilities are substantial, with 51.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 84 ray tracing cores. In synthetic tests, this GPU achieves a 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5623 and a passmark G3D score of 29009, placing it in the 55th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 13745.

The RX 7900 XT's nearest rivals are all significantly weaker cards, which is unusual: it is 0.5% faster than the AMD Radeon 660M and NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile, 0.9% faster than the AMD Radeon RX 570X, but 1.5% slower than the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT. This suggests that the benchmark database has a wide range of GPU scores, and the 7900 XT sits in the middle of the pack despite its high-end specifications. For Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is to render the 3D workspace, PC cases, and component models, which are relatively simple geometry but can be numerous on screen.

The GPU's 20 GB of VRAM is far more than this game requires, but the data shows that the card's raw rasterization power is the limiting factor at 4K resolution. At 4K High, the average FPS is 65, while at 4K Low it jumps to 131 FPS — a 2x improvement that demonstrates the GPU is stressed by the higher resolution. The 4K Medium result of 93 FPS with a minimum of 79 FPS and maximum of 106 FPS shows that the card handles moderate settings well at 4K, but the Ultra preset at 62 FPS is barely playable. This pattern indicates that the RX 7900 XT's performance is heavily influenced by pixel count, as the GPU's 459.6 GPixel/s pixel rate is being fully taxed at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of how this system performs across all resolution and settings combinations. At 1920x1080, the system achieves its highest frame rates across all presets. The Low preset yields an average of 332 FPS, followed by Medium at 281 FPS with a minimum of 238 and maximum of 323, High at 198 FPS, and Ultra at 189 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 1080p is only 9 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset adds visual effects that have minimal performance impact at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a more pronounced drop from 1080p. The Low preset averages 250 FPS, Medium averages 177 FPS with a minimum of 150 and maximum of 204, High averages 125 FPS, and Ultra averages 119 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra narrows to just 6 FPS at 1440p, while the gap between Low and Medium is 73 FPS, indicating that the Medium preset is where the GPU starts to work harder.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops significantly across all settings. The Low preset averages 131 FPS, Medium averages 93 FPS with a minimum of 79 and maximum of 106, High averages 65 FPS, and Ultra averages 62 FPS. The minimum FPS data for Medium at 4K is 79 FPS, which still provides a smooth experience. However, the High and Ultra presets at 4K, with averages of 65 and 62 FPS respectively, are on the edge of what most players would consider acceptable for a simulation game where precision matters.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling data reveals a clear pattern of GPU limitation as resolution increases. Comparing the Low preset across resolutions, the 1080p average of 332 FPS drops to 250 FPS at 1440p (a 24.7% decrease) and then to 131 FPS at 4K (a 60.5% decrease from 1440p). This scaling is not linear, which is typical for GPU-bound scenarios where pixel count increases disproportionately with resolution.

For the Medium preset, the scaling is similar: 281 FPS at 1080p drops to 177 FPS at 1440p (a 37% decrease) and then to 93 FPS at 4K (a 47.5% decrease from 1440p). The High preset shows 198 FPS at 1080p, 125 FPS at 1440p (a 36.9% decrease), and 65 FPS at 4K (a 48% decrease). The Ultra preset follows the same trend: 189 FPS at 1080p, 119 FPS at 1440p (a 37% decrease), and 62 FPS at 4K (a 47.9% decrease).

The fact that the percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistently around 25-37% across all settings, and the drop from 1440p to 4K is consistently around 48-60%, indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The CPU's performance, which is identical regardless of resolution, does not factor into these scaling patterns. However, the 1080p Low result of 332 FPS suggests that the CPU is capping performance at this resolution, as the GPU would likely be able to push even higher frame rates if not for the CPU's frame delivery limit. This is supported by the CPU's passmark single-thread score of 3296, which is adequate but not exceptional for extremely high frame rate scenarios.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p users, the Ultra preset at 189 FPS is the best choice because it provides the highest visual quality while still delivering more than three times the 60 FPS target. The gap between High and Ultra at 1080p is only 9 FPS, so there is no reason to sacrifice visual fidelity for that negligible performance difference.

At 1440p, the Ultra preset at 119 FPS is also the recommended choice, as it maintains a high frame rate above 100 FPS while offering the best visual experience. The High preset at 125 FPS is only 6 FPS faster, making Ultra the clear winner for players with 1440p displays. Even the Medium preset at 177 FPS with a minimum of 150 FPS is excellent, but Ultra's visual improvements are worth the small performance cost.

For 4K resolution, the decision is more nuanced. The Ultra preset at 62 FPS is technically above 60 FPS, but the lack of a recorded minimum FPS means it could dip below that threshold in busy scenes. The High preset at 65 FPS is similar, with no minimum data to confirm stability. The Medium preset at 93 FPS with a minimum of 79 FPS is the safest choice for a smooth 4K experience, as the minimum FPS is well above the 60 FPS target. Given that this is a simulation game where players often have many components on screen, the Medium preset at 4K provides the best balance of visual quality and consistent performance, ensuring that the frame rate never drops below 79 FPS.
