Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title focused on the assembly and maintenance of virtual PCs, presents a unique benchmark scenario for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Arc B370 combination. The data indicates a system where the integrated graphics solution is the primary performance gateway, with the CPU providing a stable foundation. This analysis examines the measured FPS across resolutions and settings, contextualizes the combo's standing against other tested configurations, and breaks down the individual roles of the processor and graphics component.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a pronounced sensitivity to resolution, which is the defining characteristic of this particular combo in Pc Building Simulator. The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep, indicating that the Intel Arc B370's rendering capabilities are the limiting factor. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 113 FPS, but this figure plummets to 37 FPS at 4K Low—a reduction of 76 FPS. This stark decline shows that as pixel count increases, the GPU is overwhelmed, and the frame rate pays the price.

The scaling pattern becomes even more telling when examining the High preset. At 1920x1080, the average is 56 FPS, which is a playable figure for a simulation game. Moving to 2560x1440, this drops to 36 FPS, a 35.7% reduction. The final step to 3840x2160 yields 19 FPS, which is a 66% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This trajectory demonstrates that the Arc B370's fill rate and shading power are insufficient for 4K rendering, even at lower quality settings. The GPU's pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s are simply not enough to manage the 8.3 million pixels of 4K resolution effectively.

The difference between Low and High settings at 4K is also notable. The data shows a 19 FPS average on High and a 37 FPS average on Low. This doubling of performance by dropping from High to Low suggests that the GPU is not just fill-rate limited but also shader-bound. The reduction in shading complexity and texture fetches at Low settings provides significant relief. In contrast, the CPU's role here is secondary; the Ryzen 7 5700X's 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient to handle the game's logic at any of these resolutions. The bottleneck is clearly the integrated graphics, as the FPS scales almost inversely with pixel count.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand scheme of tested hardware combinations for Pc Building Simulator, this pairing of an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Arc B370 finds itself in a challenging position. The combo rank is 2761 out of 3002 tested combos, placing it in the 92nd percentile of underperformers. This means that roughly 92% of all other CPU-GPU pairings tested deliver better frame rates in this game. This ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU, which itself has a percentile rank of 5 when compared to all other GPUs, indicating that it performs better than only 5% of its peers.

The CPU, in contrast, is a much stronger component. The Ryzen 7 5700X holds a percentile rank of 79 against all CPUs, meaning it is more powerful than 79% of them. This discrepancy between the CPU's strong standing and the GPU's weak standing explains the combo's low overall rank. The processor is not the limiting factor; it is the graphics solution that drags the entire system down in this benchmark. This is a classic case of a powerful processor being paired with a very weak graphics component, resulting in a system that cannot translate its CPU potential into gaming performance.

When looking at the GPU's nearest rivals, the data shows it is closely matched with legacy parts like the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M. This confirms its position as an entry-level graphics solution. The CPU, on the other hand, is on par with modern mid-range processors like the Intel Core i5-12600K and the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X. This pairing represents a significant imbalance, which is reflected in the low combo rank. For a game like Pc Building Simulator, which is not graphically intensive, the weak GPU severely hampers the overall experience despite the capable CPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of the system's capabilities across different settings and resolutions. Each data point is a measured result, not an estimate.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: The average FPS is 113. This is the highest score recorded for this combo and represents the only setting where the frame rate is high enough for very smooth, responsive gameplay.
• Medium: The average FPS is 80, with a minimum of 68 and a maximum of 92. This gives a solid, playable experience with a noticeable improvement in visual quality over Low.
• High: The average FPS drops to 56. This is still a playable frame rate for a simulation title, but it is a significant 30% reduction from the Medium preset.
• Ultra: The average FPS is 54. This is the lowest setting at 1080p, showing that the most demanding preset pushes the integrated GPU to its limits even at this resolution.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: The average FPS is 71. This is a playable frame rate, though much lower than the 113 FPS seen at 1080p Low.
• Medium: The average FPS is 50, with a minimum of 43 and a maximum of 58. This is a marginal experience, often dipping below the 60 FPS threshold.
• High: The average FPS is 36. This is a noticeable drop and is approaching the lower limits of playability for a game of this type.
• Ultra: The average FPS is 34. This preset is not recommended at this resolution, as the frame rate is too low for a consistently smooth experience.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: The average FPS is 37. This is below the threshold for smooth gameplay and indicates that 4K is not a practical option, even on the lowest settings.
• Medium: The average FPS is 26, with a minimum of 22 and a maximum of 30. This is a slideshow-like experience and is not suitable for actual play.
• High: The average FPS is 19. This is a very low frame rate, making the game nearly unresponsive.
• Ultra: The average FPS is 18. This is the lowest score in the entire dataset and confirms that 4K Ultra is completely unplayable with this hardware.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience with this combo is found at 1920x1080 resolution. The data shows clear tiers of performance that help guide settings choices. For the most responsive gameplay, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 113 FPS, which is ideal for a simulation game where menu navigation and precise mouse control are common. However, this comes with the visual compromise of lower quality textures and effects.

The Medium preset at 1080p strikes the best balance between visual fidelity and performance. The 80 FPS average is still very smooth, and the jump from Low to Medium is often the most visually significant. The minimum FPS of 68 is also above the 60 FPS target, ensuring a mostly consistent experience. This is the recommended setting for most users who want a good-looking game without sacrificing responsiveness.

For those who prioritize visual quality over frame rate, the High preset at 1080p is an option, with an average of 56 FPS. This is still playable, but the drop from 80 to 56 FPS is substantial. The Ultra preset offers only a marginal gain over High (54 vs 56 FPS) and is not worth the performance hit. At 1440p, the Medium preset is the only viable option for a somewhat playable experience, but the 50 FPS average and dips to 43 FPS make it a less desirable choice than 1080p Medium. The data clearly indicates that 4K should be avoided entirely, as even the Low preset fails to provide a smooth frame rate.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is a desktop processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. In Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that likely does not have heavily threaded demands, this processor provides a strong foundation. Its multi-threaded performance, as evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13184, is more than adequate for handling the game's logic, physics, and background tasks.

The data shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this system. The FPS scaling across resolutions is almost entirely dependent on the GPU. For example, at 1080p High, the FPS is 56, and at 1440p High, it is 36. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect to see a smaller difference between these resolutions. The fact that the FPS drops proportionally with pixel count points directly to the graphics solution as the constraint. The Ryzen 7 5700X's single-thread performance, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1499, is also sufficient for the game's main thread, ensuring that the CPU is not holding back the frame rate even at lower resolutions where the GPU has less work to do.

The processor's memory support for DDR4 and its dual-channel memory bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth also contribute to a stable platform. While the game may not be memory-bandwidth sensitive, the CPU's design ensures that data can be fed to it efficiently. In this benchmark, the CPU's role is to provide a predictable, high-performance base that allows the GPU to be the sole determinant of FPS. The data confirms that the Ryzen 7 5700X is a capable component that is wasted in this specific pairing due to the weak integrated graphics.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) based on the Xe3-LPG architecture and is part of the Panther Lake generation. It has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Its memory is "System Shared," meaning it uses a portion of the system's main memory for graphics work. The data shows that this GPU is the definite bottleneck in Pc Building Simulator. Its average benchmark score is 1184, and its percentile ranking is 5, meaning it performs better than only 5% of all GPUs in the database.

The GPU's limited capabilities are clearly illustrated by the measured FPS. The fact that it drops from 113 FPS at 1080p Low to 37 FPS at 4K Low demonstrates its inability to handle higher resolutions. The GPU's shading units (1280) and ROPs (20) are not numerous enough to fill the pixels required at 4K. Its FP32 performance of 6.144 TFLOPS is a theoretical metric that is not realized in practical gaming due to its integrated nature and shared memory bandwidth. The GPU's close performance to legacy parts like the ATI Radeon HD 5770, which had a score of 1190, further confirms its entry-level standing.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is to render the 3D graphics. The data suggests that the Arc B370 is only comfortable at 1080p with lower settings. The 80 FPS at 1080p Medium is the highest playable setting with a decent visual quality. Anything beyond that, such as High or Ultra settings, or higher resolutions, pushes the GPU into a performance range that is not playable. The GPU's 25 W TDP is low, which is typical for an IGP, but this also limits its performance potential. The conclusion from the data is that the Intel Arc B370 is a major limiting factor, and its performance in this game is poor, dragging down an otherwise capable CPU.
