# Pc Building Simulator — AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 pairs with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D to deliver a simulation-focused build that prioritizes high refresh rates at mainstream resolutions while still maintaining playable performance at 4K. Across the measured FPS data, this combo produces average frame rates ranging from 89 FPS at 4K Ultra to 332 FPS at 1080p Low, indicating a system that scales predictably with both resolution and settings. The combination ranks 127th out of 3,002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 4.2% of all tested configurations — a strong result for a CPU that sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs and a GPU at the 92nd percentile among all GPUs.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture with a 7 nm TSMC process. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP that makes it a modest power draw for a desktop part. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and it connects via PCIe Gen 3 with 20 CPU lanes. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache.

In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU demonstrates balanced single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. The 3DMark single-thread score is 901, while the 2-thread score reaches 1,762 and the 4-thread score hits 3,382 — showing near-linear scaling in the first few threads. The 8-thread score of 5,585 and max-thread score of 6,617 indicate that the additional threads beyond 8 provide only marginal gains, typical of a 8-core/16-thread design. Cinebench R23 results confirm this pattern: 2,916 in single-core and 20,655 in multi-core, a ratio of roughly 7.1x when moving from one to all cores. Geekbench scores of 1,907 single-core and 9,959 multi-core reinforce the same story — the CPU is capable but not exceptional in either domain.

For Pc Building Simulator, a game that simulates PC assembly and benchmarking rather than rendering complex 3D worlds, CPU threading matters primarily for the simulation logic, inventory management, and benchmark subroutines that mimic real hardware testing. The 16 threads provide enough parallelism to handle these tasks without becoming a bottleneck at any resolution. The percentile ranking of 78 among all CPUs suggests this is a solid mid-to-upper-tier processor, and its nearest rivals — the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (0.1% slower), AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (0.1% faster), AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (0.1% slower), and AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (0.3% faster) — all fall within a narrow performance band, indicating that the 5700's overall compute capability is well understood relative to its peers.

However, the CPU's influence on game FPS diminishes as resolution increases. At 1080p, the average FPS across settings ranges from 252 to 332, with the GPU able to stretch its legs. At 4K, the same settings range produces 89 to 187 FPS, where the GPU's workload grows substantially. The data suggests that even at 1080p Low (332 FPS), the CPU is not the primary limiter — the frame rates are high enough that both components are sharing the load effectively.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data covers four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) at three resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 4K). Across all resolutions, the relationship between settings and FPS is consistent: Low produces the highest frame rates, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra being the most demanding.

At 1080p, the differences between presets are relatively modest in percentage terms: Low achieves 332 FPS, Medium 292 FPS, High 256 FPS, and Ultra 252 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra costs only 4 FPS (1.6%), which suggests that Ultra is essentially a free upgrade over High at this resolution. Medium offers a 14% improvement over High, while Low provides a 30% improvement over Ultra. For competitive play or maximum smoothness, Low at 332 FPS is the clear choice, but for most users, Ultra at 252 FPS is still far above any display refresh rate.

At 1440p, the pattern shifts slightly: Low hits 285 FPS, Medium 250 FPS, High 179 FPS, and Ultra 171 FPS. The gap between Medium and High widens to 28%, while High to Ultra remains small at 4.5%. Low to Medium is a 14% drop, and Low to Ultra is 40%. This resolution still offers excellent headroom — even Ultra at 171 FPS exceeds 144 Hz displays.

At 4K, the presets produce 187 FPS (Low), 133 FPS (Medium), 94 FPS (High), and 89 FPS (Ultra). Here, the differences become more pronounced: Low to Medium is a 29% drop, Medium to High is 29%, and High to Ultra is just 5%. Ultra at 89 FPS is playable but not ideal for high-refresh displays, while Medium at 133 FPS offers a better balance. Low at 187 FPS is the only preset that keeps 4K above 144 Hz.

The best experience depends on the user's display. For 1080p or 1440p monitors with refresh rates up to 240 Hz, Ultra is the recommended preset — the frame rates remain high enough (252 FPS at 1080p, 171 FPS at 1440p) that no visual quality should be sacrificed. For 4K displays, Medium at 133 FPS provides the best compromise between visual fidelity and smoothness, with High at 94 FPS as a fallback for users who prioritize image quality over frame rate. Low settings are only necessary for 4K displays with 144 Hz or higher refresh rates, where 187 FPS becomes the target.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame field places this configuration at rank 127 out of 3,002 tested combos. This represents the 95.8th percentile — meaning this combo outperforms roughly 95.8% of all tested configurations in Pc Building Simulator. Given that the CPU alone sits at the 78th percentile and the GPU at the 92nd percentile, the combo ranking suggests a synergistic pairing where the components complement each other well in this specific game.

To contextualize this ranking: if 3,002 combos were arranged by performance, this combo would be near the top of the second tier, just below the absolute best configurations. The gap between the CPU's 78th percentile and the combo's 95.8th percentile indicates that the GPU is doing most of the heavy lifting in this game, which aligns with Pc Building Simulator's nature — it simulates hardware benchmarking, so GPU compute performance is often more impactful than CPU threading.

The nearest CPU rivals (all within 0.3% in average benchmark score) would likely produce similar combo rankings when paired with the same GPU, but the 127th rank already demonstrates that this specific pairing is well-optimized. The GPU's nearest rivals (within 2.4% in average score) suggest that swapping to a slightly faster GPU could push the combo ranking higher, but the differences are small enough that the practical impact on in-game FPS would be minimal.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about which component limits performance in Pc Building Simulator. At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 252 at 1080p to 171 at 1440p (a 32% reduction), then to 89 at 4K (a 65% reduction from 1440p and a 65% reduction from 1080p). At Low settings, the progression is 332 FPS (1080p) to 285 FPS (1440p, 14% drop) to 187 FPS (4K, 34% drop from 1440p).

The fact that Low settings show a smaller relative drop from 1080p to 1440p (14%) compared to Ultra settings (32%) indicates that at lower settings, the CPU has more headroom to feed the GPU, while at higher settings, the GPU becomes more stressed by the increased pixel count and shading work. The 4K to 1080p ratio at Low is 187/332 = 56%, meaning 4K produces 56% of the 1080p frame rate. At Ultra, the ratio is 89/252 = 35%, which is a steeper decline.

This pattern suggests that the GPU is the primary scaling factor — as resolution increases, the RTX 5090 D's workload grows, and the frame rate drops accordingly. The CPU's role remains relatively constant across resolutions, as evidenced by the fact that even at 1080p Low (332 FPS), the CPU is able to keep up. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see similar FPS at 1080p and 1440p, which is not the case — the 1440p numbers are consistently lower.

The data also shows that the gap between Low and Ultra widens with resolution. At 1080p, Ultra is 24% slower than Low (252 vs 332). At 1440p, Ultra is 40% slower (171 vs 285). At 4K, Ultra is 52% slower (89 vs 187). This widening gap indicates that the GPU's rendering workload scales superlinearly with pixel count and settings level, a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 332 FPS average
• Medium: 292 FPS average, 248 FPS minimum, 335 FPS maximum
• High: 256 FPS average
• Ultra: 252 FPS average

At 1080p, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. The spread from Low to Ultra is 80 FPS (24%), with the largest single drop occurring between Low and Medium (40 FPS, 12%). High to Ultra is nearly negligible at 4 FPS (1.6%), indicating that the Ultra preset at 1080p is barely more demanding than High. The Medium preset's min/max range of 248-335 FPS shows a 87 FPS spread, which is 30% of the average — this is the only preset with recorded variability, but even the minimum of 248 FPS is far above display refresh rates.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 285 FPS average
• Medium: 250 FPS average, 213 FPS minimum, 288 FPS maximum
• High: 179 FPS average
• Ultra: 171 FPS average

At 1440p, the performance remains strong but the gaps between presets widen. Low to Medium is 35 FPS (12%), Medium to High is 71 FPS (28%), and High to Ultra is 8 FPS (4.5%). The Medium preset shows a min/max range of 213-288 FPS (75 FPS spread, 30% of average). The 1440p Ultra score of 171 FPS is still above 144 Hz, making this the highest resolution at which the Ultra preset can comfortably drive a high-refresh display.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 187 FPS average
• Medium: 133 FPS average, 113 FPS minimum, 153 FPS maximum
• High: 94 FPS average
• Ultra: 89 FPS average

At 4K, the combo's performance drops significantly. Low settings still produce 187 FPS, which is respectable, but Ultra falls to 89 FPS — below 90 FPS and barely above 60 Hz refresh rates. The Medium preset offers 133 FPS with a min/max of 113-153 FPS (40 FPS spread, 30% of average). The drop from Medium to High is 39 FPS (29%), while High to Ultra is just 5 FPS (5%). The 4K Ultra result of 89 FPS is the only measured average below 100 FPS across all tests.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a flagship GPU from the GeForce 50-series, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm TSMC process. It features 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output pipelines, along with 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2017 MHz and boosts to 2407 MHz, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). It has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth.

In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 5090 D scores 14,326 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 310,674 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 376,915 in Geekbench Vulkan. The Passmark suite shows a G3D score of 44,065 and a GPU compute score of 28,396. Its average benchmark score of 77,712 places it at the 92nd percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904, 1.1% slower), AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, 1.6% faster), NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (79,396, 2.1% faster), and NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605, 2.4% faster).

For Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is primarily to execute the simulated benchmarks that the game replicates — the game includes 3DMark-style tests, Passmark-style tests, and other synthetic workloads that stress the GPU in ways similar to real hardware. The RTX 5090 D's massive compute resources (104.8 TFLOPS FP32) and high memory bandwidth (1.79 TB/s) allow it to handle these simulated workloads with ease, which explains the high frame rates at lower resolutions and settings.

The GPU's 32 GB of VRAM is far more than any current game requires, and in Pc Building Simulator, where the rendered scenes are relatively simple (a workbench and PC components), VRAM usage is unlikely to be a limiting factor at any resolution. The 512-bit memory bus and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth ensure that texture streaming and memory-intensive operations never become bottlenecks. The GPU's TDP of 575 W and suggested PSU of 950 W indicate that this is a power-hungry component, but the measured FPS data shows it delivers commensurate performance — even the 4K Ultra score of 89 FPS is respectable for a simulation game that emphasizes logical accuracy over graphical fidelity.

The GPU's benchmark percentile of 92, combined with the combo's 127th rank out of 3,002, confirms that the RTX 5090 D is a top-tier component. The fact that its nearest rivals are within 2.4% in average score suggests that the specific performance envelope of this GPU is well-established, and the measured FPS data in Pc Building Simulator reflects that consistency.
