Settings Recommendations

The measured data for Pc Building Simulator with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and Intel Arc B390 shows a clear progression in frame rates across the four quality presets at each resolution. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 125 FPS average, which is the highest recorded figure for this combo. Medium drops to 88 FPS, High to 62 FPS, and Ultra to 59 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is only 3 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset’s additional visual demands yield diminishing returns relative to the performance cost.

At 1440p, the same pattern holds: Low produces 79 FPS, Medium 56 FPS, High 39 FPS, and Ultra 38 FPS. The Medium preset at this resolution maintains a playable 56 FPS average, with a recorded minimum of 47 FPS and maximum of 64 FPS, which represents the only row at 1440p with min/max data available. High and Ultra at 1440p are nearly identical, separated by just 1 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the bottleneck once settings rise.

At 4K, the situation becomes more constrained. Low averages 41 FPS, Medium 29 FPS, High 21 FPS, and Ultra 20 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K shows a minimum of 25 FPS and maximum of 34 FPS, which is the only 4K row with min/max data. The drop from Low to Medium at 4K is 12 FPS, a substantial penalty, whereas the drop from High to Ultra is only 1 FPS.

The best experience per the measured rows is the Medium preset at 1080p. It delivers 88 FPS average with a minimum of 75 FPS and maximum of 102 FPS, providing a smooth frame rate while retaining visual quality above Low. The Ultra preset at 1080p offers only 59 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold that many users consider ideal, so the extra settings cost is not justified by the small visual gain. At 1440p, Medium is the recommended choice with 56 FPS, though users seeking higher frame rates should drop to Low for 79 FPS. At 4K, Low is the only preset that stays above 40 FPS, making it the sole viable option for near-60 FPS gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and Intel Arc B390 ranks 2650 out of 3002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the 88th percentile of all tested combinations, meaning roughly 88% of combos perform better in this specific game. The rank is heavily influenced by the GPU’s modest capabilities, as the CPU is a strong performer in general benchmarks.

The Intel Arc B390’s average benchmark score of 1482 places it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs, which is a very low standing. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX with an average score of 1463 (1.3% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce 800M at 1460 (1.5% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM at 1446 (2.5% higher), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 at 1443 (2.7% higher). The Arc B390’s score is actually higher than all four of these rivals, but the margin is thin, ranging from 1.3% to 2.7%. This indicates that the GPU sits at the very bottom of the performance spectrum, comparable to entry-level discrete GPUs from over a decade ago.

In contrast, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 27051, placing it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i9-9900K at 27097 (-0.2%), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 at 26936 (0.4%), the Intel Core i5-14400T at 27166 (-0.4%), and the Intel Core i7-1370P at 26900 (0.6%). The deltas are all within 0.6%, meaning the 5700G performs essentially on par with these CPUs, with no meaningful advantage or disadvantage.

The disparity between the CPU’s high percentile (79th) and the GPU’s low percentile (9th) explains the combo’s overall rank. The GPU is the limiting factor in Pc Building Simulator, and the CPU’s strength cannot compensate for the GPU’s weakness in this title. The data shows that the combo rank of 2650 out of 3002 is consistent with a pairing of a mid-high range CPU with a very low-end GPU.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, manufactured on Intel’s 3 nm process node. It features 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 render output units, along with 12 ray tracing cores. The base clock is 300 MHz and the boost clock is 2500 MHz, which is a wide range that allows the GPU to scale up under load. The pixel rate is 60.00 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 120.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 7.680 TFLOPS.

The memory configuration is entirely system-shared, meaning the GPU uses the main system memory rather than dedicated VRAM. The memory type, bus width, and bandwidth are all listed as system-shared or system-dependent, which means performance is tied to the CPU’s memory subsystem. The Ryzen 7 5700G supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. This shared memory arrangement is typical for integrated graphics and explains why the GPU’s performance is limited compared to discrete solutions.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU’s role is evident from the frame rate scaling across settings and resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 125 FPS, but at 1080p Ultra, it drops to 59 FPS. This 66 FPS difference highlights how the GPU struggles with higher quality settings. At 4K, the GPU’s limitations become severe: Low delivers 41 FPS, but Medium drops to 29 FPS, and both High and Ultra fall to 21 and 20 FPS respectively. The 4K results show that the GPU cannot maintain playable frame rates at higher settings, with all presets except Low falling below 30 FPS.

The GPU’s only benchmark in the database is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 with a score of 1482, which places it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs. This single data point confirms that the Arc B390 is an entry-level graphics solution, despite its modern architecture and features like DirectX 12 Ultimate support. The low pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s are indicative of its limited fillrate capabilities, which directly impact performance at higher resolutions where pixel throughput becomes critical.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates show a consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At the Low preset, 1080p yields 125 FPS, 1440p yields 79 FPS, and 4K yields 41 FPS. This represents a 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p (125 to 79) and a 48% drop from 1440p to 4K (79 to 41). The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 67%, indicating that resolution scaling has a severe impact on this combo.

At the Medium preset, 1080p delivers 88 FPS, 1440p delivers 56 FPS, and 4K delivers 29 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 36%, and from 1440p to 4K is 48%, with a total drop of 67% from 1080p to 4K. This mirrors the Low preset’s scaling, suggesting that the GPU’s performance scales roughly linearly with pixel count, which is typical for a GPU that is already near its limits.

At the High preset, 1080p delivers 62 FPS, 1440p delivers 39 FPS, and 4K delivers 21 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 37%, and from 1440p to 4K is 46%, with a total drop of 66% from 1080p to 4K. The Ultra preset shows similar scaling: 59 FPS at 1080p, 38 FPS at 1440p, and 20 FPS at 4K, representing drops of 36% and 47% respectively.

The consistent scaling across all presets indicates that the GPU is the limiting component. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rate would not drop so dramatically with resolution increases, as the CPU’s workload would remain relatively constant. The fact that every preset shows a roughly 36-37% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 46-48% drop from 1440p to 4K suggests that the GPU’s fillrate and memory bandwidth are being saturated at higher resolutions. The system-shared memory, with bandwidth dependent on the system, further compounds this issue, as the GPU must compete with the CPU for memory access.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU is manufactured on TSMC’s 7 nm process node and features 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. It supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and uses PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes.

In terms of cache, the 5700G has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The CPU’s benchmark scores are strong: Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 12830.5, single-core 1494, Geekbench multicore 9950, and single-core 1894. PassMark multithread scores 24419, and single-thread scores 3283. These results place the CPU in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27051.

The nearest rivals are all within 0.6% of the 5700G’s average score. The Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27097 (-0.2%), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936 (0.4%), the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166 (-0.4%), and the Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900 (0.6%). This means the 5700G is effectively tied with these CPUs in general performance, despite being a lower-TDP, integrated-graphics part.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU’s role is less pronounced than the GPU’s. The benchmark data shows that the combo’s performance is heavily GPU-limited, as evidenced by the sharp frame rate drops at higher resolutions and settings. The CPU’s 16 threads and 4.60 GHz boost clock are more than sufficient for a simulation game of this type, which typically does not require extreme multi-threading. The 3DMark scores for the CPU show a progression from 899 in single-thread to 6629 in 16-thread tests, indicating good scaling with thread count, but this scaling is not reflected in the game’s frame rates because the GPU cannot keep up.

The CPU’s integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics are not used in this combo, as the system pairs the 5700G with the discrete Intel Arc B390. However, the CPU’s memory controller is critical, as the Arc B390 uses system-shared memory. The 5700G’s dual-channel DDR4 support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth directly impacts the GPU’s performance, since the shared memory bandwidth is a limiting factor for the Arc B390. This is evident in the game’s poor high-resolution performance, which is consistent with a GPU that is constrained by memory bandwidth rather than raw compute power.
