Pc Building Simulator

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates across the three tested resolutions reveal a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling in Pc Building Simulator. At 1080p with High settings, the combo delivers 113.9 FPS. Moving to 1440p drops that to 73 FPS, a reduction of roughly 36%. The jump to 4K further reduces performance to 36.5 FPS, another 50% decline from the 1440p figure. This steep scaling curve indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the primary performance limiter as pixel count rises.

The Low settings preset tells a more interesting story about where the bottleneck shifts. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 224.6 FPS, which is an exceptionally high figure. Stepping up to 1440p Low yields 144.4 FPS, a 35.7% decrease. At 4K Low, the frame rate falls to 75.4 FPS, which is a 47.8% drop from 1440p. Even at the lowest settings, the resolution scaling remains steep, suggesting that the GPU's memory bandwidth and shading throughput are heavily taxed by the simulation's rendering workload regardless of visual complexity.

The Ultra preset demonstrates the most severe scaling penalty. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 106.8 FPS, which is only slightly below the High preset result. At 1440p Ultra, the frame rate drops to 66.4 FPS. At 4K Ultra, the system falls to exactly 36 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is marginal — 36.5 versus 36 FPS — indicating that the extra visual fidelity from Ultra settings costs almost nothing at that resolution because the GPU is already saturated. This suggests that at 4K, the limiting factor is raw pixel throughput rather than shader complexity.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card's base clock runs at 1410 MHz with a boost clock of 1665 MHz. These specifications position the GPU at the 69th percentile versus all GPUs in the benchmark database. Its average benchmark score of 25120 places it in close competition with several AMD parts: the RX 6700M scores 25180 (0.2% higher), the RX 6600 scores 25235 (0.5% higher), and the Radeon 890M scores 25246 (0.5% higher). The RX 580 2048SP trails at 25287, which is 0.7% higher.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity appears sufficient for Pc Building Simulator at the tested settings, as the frame rate scaling from Medium to High to Ultra does not exhibit any sudden cliffs that would indicate memory swapping. The transition from 1080p Medium (157.4 FPS) to 1080p High (113.9 FPS) is a smooth degradation, as is the move from High to Ultra (106.8 FPS). The same pattern holds at 1440p, where Medium produces 98.6 FPS, High produces 73 FPS, and Ultra produces 66.4 FPS. The consistent scaling across settings suggests that the GPU's shading units and texture units are the primary constraint, not memory capacity.

The RTX 3060 Ti's 4864 shading units and 152 texture mapping units deliver 16.20 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and a texture rate of 253.1 GTexel/s. These figures explain why the card performs admirably at 1080p and 1440p but struggles at 4K. The simulation genre typically involves rendering many small objects and UI elements, which taxes the GPU's geometry throughput. The 80 ROPs provide a pixel rate of 133.2 GPixel/s, which becomes the limiting factor at 4K where the card must fill over 8 million pixels per frame.

Settings Recommendations

Examining the measured FPS rows, the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the combo produces 157.4 FPS, which is 38% higher than the High preset's 113.9 FPS and 47% higher than Ultra's 106.8 FPS. The visual difference between Medium and High in a simulation game with mostly static scenes is typically less noticeable than in fast-paced action titles, making Medium an attractive choice for maintaining high frame rates.

At 1440p, the Medium preset delivers 98.6 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The High preset at 73 FPS is also playable, but the 35% performance gap between Medium and High at this resolution suggests that Medium is the safer recommendation for users with 1440p displays who want headroom for occasional frame drops. The Ultra preset at 66.4 FPS is still playable but leaves little margin for complex scenes.

At 4K, the situation changes dramatically. The Medium preset produces 52.2 FPS, which is below the ideal 60 FPS target. The High preset at 36.5 FPS and Ultra at 36 FPS are both below playable thresholds for most users. Interestingly, the Low preset at 4K achieves 75.4 FPS, making it the only 4K option that clears the 60 FPS bar. For users with 4K displays, the data suggests that Low settings provide the best playable experience, as the jump from Low to Medium costs 23.2 FPS (a 30.8% reduction) while the visual improvement in a simulation game may not justify that penalty.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ranks 1255 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the combo in the lower third of all tested systems, which is somewhat surprising given the individual component performance. The ranking suggests that Pc Building Simulator may be more sensitive to other system factors, or that many of the tested combos feature more recent or higher-end components.

The CPU's individual performance metrics provide context for this ranking. The Ryzen 7 5700 achieves an average benchmark score of 27220, placing it at the 84th percentile versus all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i9-9900K with an average score of 27043 (0.7% lower), the Intel Core i7-12700H at 27006 (0.8% lower), and the Intel Core i7-1370P at 26991 (0.8% lower). The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 trails at 26909 (1.2% lower). This CPU performance is respectable, yet the combo's rank of 1255 out of 1769 indicates that the GPU is likely the limiting factor in this pairing for this specific game.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 69 versus all GPUs is notably lower than the CPU's 84th percentile standing. This imbalance suggests that the RTX 3060 Ti may be holding back the Ryzen 7 5700 in Pc Building Simulator, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck. The combo rank reflects this dynamic, as the overall system performance is constrained by the weaker component.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 brings 8 cores and 16 threads to the pairing, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This Zen 3 architecture processor, built on TSMC's 7 nm process, includes 16 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The CPU's benchmark scores show strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 20655, while the single-core score is 2916. The PassMark multithread score of 24303 and single-thread score of 3296 further demonstrate balanced capabilities.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU, as evidenced by the resolution scaling patterns. The fact that frame rates drop substantially from 1080p to 1440p to 4K indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at 1080p without becoming a limiting factor. The 224.6 FPS result at 1080p Low suggests that the CPU can handle even the most demanding frame rate scenarios in this game, which involves simulating building processes and rendering modest 3D scenes.

The 3DMark scores reinforce this interpretation. The 16-thread score of 6628 and max-thread score of 6617 are nearly identical, indicating that the CPU scales well with additional threads. The 8-thread score of 5585 and 4-thread score of 3382 show diminishing returns with fewer active threads, but the single-thread score of 901 is sufficient for the game's logic. The PassMark physics score of 984 and floating-point math score of 51427 suggest adequate computational headroom for simulation calculations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers the following average frame rates across settings: Low produces 224.6 FPS, Medium produces 157.4 FPS, High produces 113.9 FPS, and Ultra produces 106.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 67.2 FPS (a 29.9% reduction), while the gap between Medium and High is 43.5 FPS (a 27.6% reduction). The difference between High and Ultra is only 7.1 FPS (a 6.2% reduction), suggesting that the Ultra preset adds minimal performance cost at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low produces 144.4 FPS, Medium produces 98.6 FPS, High produces 73 FPS, and Ultra produces 66.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium represents a 45.8 FPS drop (31.7%), from Medium to High a 25.6 FPS drop (26%), and from High to Ultra a 6.6 FPS drop (9%). The Ultra preset's marginal cost over High at 1440p mirrors the 1080p pattern.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are: Low produces 75.4 FPS, Medium produces 52.2 FPS, High produces 36.5 FPS, and Ultra produces 36 FPS. The Low to Medium transition costs 23.2 FPS (30.8%), Medium to High costs 15.7 FPS (30.1%), and High to Ultra costs only 0.5 FPS (1.4%). The negligible difference between High and Ultra at 4K strongly indicates that the GPU is completely saturated at this resolution, with the Ultra preset's additional effects having no measurable impact on the already bottlenecked render pipeline.

The data shows that the RTX 3060 Ti's performance ceiling in Pc Building Simulator is reached at 4K with any settings above Low. The 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game's textures, but the 16.20 TFLOPS compute throughput cannot sustain higher frame rates at 4K. Conversely, the Ryzen 7 5700's 8-core, 16-thread configuration with 4.60 GHz boost clock ensures that the CPU never becomes the limiting component, even at the 224.6 FPS peak observed at 1080p Low.
