# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 7 5700G + AMD Radeon RX 9060

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title from 2019, presents a unique workload that scales heavily with both CPU and GPU resources. The benchmark data for this AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 9060 combination reveals a system that delivers playable frame rates across most settings, with a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution increases. The measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 247 frames per second, indicating a strong CPU-driven ceiling, while the 4K Ultra result of 39 FPS shows the GPU becoming the primary constraint. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across resolutions, settings, and component roles.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K for this combo shows a steep drop that is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 124 at 1920x1080 to 78 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 46 frames per second, and then further to 41 at 3840x2160. This represents a 67% decrease from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the Radeon RX 9060 is the limiting component as pixel count rises. The pattern is consistent across all settings presets, with Low settings showing the most dramatic absolute drop from 247 FPS at 1080p to 156 FPS at 1440p and finally 82 FPS at 4K.

The scaling behavior reveals that the CPU has ample headroom at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 247 FPS, which is far above typical display refresh rates and suggests the Ryzen 7 5700G's eight cores are not being saturated. However, as resolution increases, the GPU's workload grows exponentially, and the RX 9060's performance ceiling becomes apparent. The 4K Medium result of 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 FPS shows that even at medium settings, the GPU is struggling to maintain smooth frame pacing at the highest resolution. The delta between 1440p and 4K at each setting is roughly 47-48% of the 1440p value, which aligns with the pixel count difference of 2.25x, confirming that the GPU is the dominant bottleneck at 4K across all presets.

Notably, the scaling from 1080p to 1440p is less severe than from 1440p to 4K. At High settings, 1080p to 1440p results in a 37% drop, while 1440p to 4K results in a 47% drop. This non-linear scaling suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is partially constraining performance, particularly at Low and Medium settings where frame rates exceed 175 FPS. The data shows that the system is well-balanced for 1440p gaming, where the GPU is more consistently the limiting factor without being overwhelmed.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, all settings presets deliver playable performance, with even Ultra averaging 118 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra costs only 6 FPS (from 124 to 118), making Ultra the recommended choice for 1080p users seeking maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. Medium at 1080p offers 175 FPS, which is beneficial for high-refresh-rate displays, but the visual fidelity trade-off may not be worth the extra 51 FPS over High.

For 2560x1440, the situation shifts. High settings deliver a solid 78 FPS average, which is suitable for most gamers, while Ultra drops to 74 FPS—a marginal 5% difference. Medium at 1440p provides 111 FPS, offering a significant performance buffer for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors. The measured minimum at 1440p Medium is 94 FPS, indicating consistent frame delivery. Given the small gap between High and Ultra at this resolution, High is the pragmatic choice for 1440p, as it maintains an 8% performance advantage over Ultra while looking nearly identical.

At 3840x2160, the recommendations become more constrained. High settings average 41 FPS, which is below ideal playability for many users, while Ultra drops to 39 FPS. Medium at 4K achieves 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 FPS, making it the only preset that approaches smooth gameplay at this resolution. Low at 4K reaches 82 FPS, but the visual degradation is substantial. For 4K users, Medium is the recommended preset, as it balances the 58 FPS average with the 49 FPS minimum, avoiding the sub-40 FPS dips seen at High and Ultra. The data indicates that this combo is not well-suited for maxed-out 4K gaming, but Medium delivers a playable experience.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060, based on the Navi 44 chip with RDNA 4.0 architecture, is the primary determinant of performance at higher resolutions. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus providing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, the GPU delivers 21.43 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power. Its boost clock reaches 2990 MHz, with a game clock of 2400 MHz, which explains its strong performance at 1080p and 1440p. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, where even the best settings preset (Medium) only achieves 58 FPS.

The GPU's benchmark scores show it is comparable to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, with a deltaPct of -0.7% in average score. This places the RX 9060 in the upper-mid-range tier of GPUs. At 1080p, the GPU's capabilities are sufficient to exceed 100 FPS at all settings, with Ultra reaching 118 FPS. However, the steep FPS drop at 4K—from 124 FPS at 1080p High to 41 FPS at 4K High—indicates that the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become limiting factors when pixel count quadruples. The 64 ROPs and 112 TMUs handle texture and pixel processing adequately at lower resolutions, but the 4K workload exposes the GPU's bandwidth limitations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 247 FPS on Low, 175 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 149 and maximum of 201), 124 FPS on High, and 118 FPS on Ultra. These results indicate that at 1080p, the system has significant headroom, with even the most demanding preset exceeding 115 FPS.

At 2560x1440, performance scales down predictably: Low averages 156 FPS, Medium averages 111 FPS (94 minimum, 127 maximum), High averages 78 FPS, and Ultra averages 74 FPS. The 1440p results show a tighter spread between High and Ultra (only 4 FPS difference), suggesting diminishing returns from High to Ultra settings at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck: Low averages 82 FPS, Medium averages 58 FPS (49 minimum, 66 maximum), High averages 41 FPS, and Ultra averages 39 FPS. The 4K results demonstrate a consistent 33% performance penalty from Medium to Ultra (58 to 39 FPS), while Low offers a 41% improvement over Medium (82 to 58 FPS). The minimum FPS data at Medium settings shows 49 FPS at 4K, 94 FPS at 1440p, and 149 FPS at 1080p, indicating that frame pacing remains stable across resolutions without significant stuttering.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, with 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, plays a crucial role in driving high frame rates at lower resolutions. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz, combined with 16 MB of L3 cache, provide strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. The CPU's average benchmark score of 27051 places it at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12830.5 and single-core score of 1494.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's influence is most evident at 1080p, where it enables frame rates exceeding 200 FPS on Low settings. The 247 FPS result at 1080p Low indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution, as the GPU is capable of rendering frames faster than the CPU can issue draw calls. However, the CPU's performance relative to rivals is notable: it is 0.2% slower than the Intel Core i9-9900K, 0.4% faster than the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, 0.4% slower than the Intel Core i5-14400T, and 0.6% faster than the Intel Core i7-1370P. These small deltas indicate that the 5700G's computational throughput is competitive with older high-end and newer mid-range CPUs.

The CPU's 65 W TDP and 7 nm process node (TSMC) make it an efficient choice, though the data does not directly measure power consumption in this game. The 16 threads provide ample parallelism for simulation workloads, which often involve physics calculations and AI pathfinding. At 1440p and 4K, the CPU's role diminishes as the GPU becomes the limiting factor, but the 5700G ensures that it never holds back performance, as evidenced by the consistent FPS scaling across resolutions. The CPU's 3DMark scores—6629 for 16 threads and 899 for single-thread—further confirm its balanced capability for this title.
