Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that is far more demanding on the GPU than its modest visual style might suggest. The measured data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination shows a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while still delivering extremely high frame rates at 1080p. The benchmark results indicate that this pairing is capable of running the game at maximum settings with room to spare at most resolutions, though the settings menu does reveal a clear performance hierarchy that can be leveraged for higher refresh rates or stricter visual fidelity.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows show a consistent pattern across all resolutions: the "Ultra" preset is the most demanding, followed by "High," then "Medium," with "Low" being the fastest. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 140.1 FPS, which is already well above the threshold for smooth gameplay on high-refresh-rate monitors. However, the data shows that the High preset at 2560x1440 achieves 145.7 FPS, which is only a 4.0% increase over Ultra despite likely reducing some visual effects. This suggests that the Ultra preset is the best choice for 1440p users who want maximum visual quality without sacrificing playability, as the performance difference between the two is negligible.

For 1920x1080, the situation is even clearer. The Ultra preset produces 222.3 FPS, while High yields 230.4 FPS, a difference of just 3.6%. Given that both far exceed the refresh rate of most monitors, the Ultra preset is the recommended choice for 1080p. The Medium preset at 294.4 FPS and Low at 333.9 FPS offer diminishing returns in terms of visual quality for a performance gain that is largely imperceptible on standard displays. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset drops to 75.8 FPS, which is still playable but not ideal for competitive play. The High preset at 79.7 FPS is only 5.1% faster, so 4K users should stick with Ultra unless they need to push closer to 100 FPS, in which case the Medium preset at 110.5 FPS provides a substantial 45.9% improvement over Ultra while still looking respectable.

The recommendation is to use Ultra settings for 1080p and 1440p, as the measured data shows that the performance cost is minimal compared to High. For 4K, the choice depends on the user's refresh rate: if the display is 60 Hz, Ultra is fine; if it is 120 Hz or higher, Medium is the better balance of visual quality and frame rate.

FAQ

Q: Is the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 a bottleneck for the RTX 4080 SUPER in this game?

A: The data shows that the system is GPU-bound at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 75.8, while at 1080p Ultra it is 222.3. This scaling indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor, as the frame rate increases dramatically when the resolution drops, which would not happen if the CPU were the bottleneck.

Q: What is the best setting for a 144 Hz monitor at 1440p?

A: The Ultra preset at 2560x1440 achieves an average of 140.1 FPS, which is just below the 144 Hz threshold. The High preset reaches 145.7 FPS, exceeding it. Therefore, High is the recommended setting for a 144 Hz 1440p display, though Ultra is also acceptable if you do not mind a slight dip below the refresh rate.

Q: How much faster is the Low preset compared to Ultra at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 152.5 FPS, while Ultra averages 75.8 FPS. This represents a 101.2% increase in performance, effectively doubling the frame rate. This makes Low the choice for 4K gaming on high-refresh-rate monitors.

Q: Does the RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB VRAM matter for this game?

A: The RTX 4080 SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory. Pc Building Simulator is not a graphically intensive game in terms of texture memory, so the 16 GB capacity is far more than sufficient. The measured data does not indicate any VRAM-related limitations, as the frame rates scale consistently with resolution and settings.

Q: How does this combo's performance at 1080p compare to 1440p?

A: At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 222.3, while at 1440p Ultra it is 140.1. This is a 58.7% drop in performance when moving from 1080p to 1440p, which is a significant but expected decrease for a GPU-bound title.

Q: Is the RTX 4080 SUPER overkill for this game?

A: The data suggests that at 1080p, the GPU is not fully utilized, as the frame rates are extremely high. However, at 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly the limiting component, delivering 75.8 FPS. The RTX 4080 SUPER is not overkill for 4K gaming, but it is excessive for 1080p if you are not using a very high refresh rate monitor.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for Pc Building Simulator. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for the game's asset streaming. The base clock of 2295 MHz and boost clock of 2550 MHz are high, and the measured FPS data shows that the GPU scales predictably with resolution and settings. The GPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, which has an average benchmark score that is 0.2% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, which is 2.9% lower. This places the RTX 4080 SUPER at the top of its performance tier.

The role of the GPU becomes apparent when examining the FPS scaling. At 1080p Low, the system produces 333.9 FPS, which is an extraordinarily high frame rate that indicates the GPU is not being taxed. As the resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the frame rates drop, showing that the GPU's rendering capabilities are the primary constraint. The 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power and 112 ROPs are sufficient to handle the game's simulation and rendering workloads, but the data shows that the GPU is still the limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where it delivers 75.8 FPS. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are not directly relevant for this game, as it does not heavily utilize ray tracing or DLSS, but they do not hurt performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 155th out of 1769 tested combos for Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the top 8.8% of all configurations tested, which is a strong result. The CPU itself, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700, has a percentile rank of 84 against all CPUs, meaning it is faster than 84% of tested processors. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, has an average benchmark score that is 0.7% higher, making the two essentially equivalent in general compute tasks. The GPU has a percentile rank of 88 against all GPUs, and its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, is only 0.2% faster on average.

Given that the CPU and GPU are both in the upper echelon of their respective categories, the 155th rank out of 1769 combos is expected. The data indicates that this combo is not at the very top of the leaderboard, but it is far above the median. The rank is likely driven by the CPU's mid-range positioning, as the GPU is a high-end part. Users looking for a top-100 ranking would need a more powerful CPU, but for the vast majority of gaming scenarios, this combo provides more than adequate performance.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the nature of the bottleneck in this system. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 222.3. Moving to 1440p Ultra, the FPS drops to 140.1, a decrease of 37.0%. Moving further to 4K Ultra, the FPS drops to 75.8, another 45.9% decrease from 1440p. This consistent drop with resolution increases indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates would be more similar across resolutions, as the CPU workload would not change significantly.

The scaling is most pronounced at the highest settings. At 1080p Low, the FPS is 333.9, and at 4K Low, it is 152.5, a drop of 54.3%. This is a larger relative drop than at Ultra settings, which further confirms that the GPU is doing more work at lower settings relative to the CPU. The data shows that the RTX 4080 SUPER is powerful enough to handle the game at 4K, but the frame rates suggest that 1440p is the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate gaming, while 4K is better suited for 60 Hz displays.
