CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer codename) built on TSMC’s 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, backed by 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 64 KB of L1 plus 512 KB of L2 per core. This configuration places it in the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27,578. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12600K (matching score, 0% delta), AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (0.2% ahead), AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (0.2% behind), and Intel Core Ultra 5 125H (0.3% ahead). These deltas are negligible, meaning the 5700X sits at parity with current mid-range and upper-mid-range competitors.

For Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title where CPU logic manages component interactions, system diagnostics, and user interface responses, the 5700X’s multithreaded capability is relevant. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13,184 and Geekbench multicore score of 10,779 indicate strong parallel throughput, while the single-thread score of 1,499 (Cinebench R23) ensures responsive UI interactions. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 6,858 and max-thread score of 6,850 show consistent scaling across all threads, which helps maintain stable frame pacing when the simulation updates many subsystems simultaneously. In practice, the CPU is never the bottleneck in this pairing: at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 341 FPS average, but the CPU’s contribution is more about ensuring minimum frame stability than pushing peak numbers.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is a formidable graphics card built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm TSMC process. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 716.8 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU has a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz, with memory running at 1400 MHz (22.4 Gbps effective). Its 9,728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s. The card’s FP32 performance is 48.74 TFLOPS, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 54,247. Its nearest rivals are the RTX 4080 SUPER (0.1% ahead), AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (1.1% ahead), AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (2.6% ahead), and AMD Radeon 8060S (2.7% ahead). The RTX 4080 trails these rivals by small margins, but in Pc Building Simulator the performance is clearly sufficient.

The 16 GB VRAM is particularly relevant for this simulation, as it allows the game to store high-resolution textures for PC components, case models, and environment details without swapping. The 716.8 GB/s bandwidth ensures that texture streaming remains smooth even when many components are rendered simultaneously. At 4K Ultra, the combo still averages 74 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s raw compute power (48.74 TFLOPS) is handling the simulation’s rendering load without exceeding memory capacity. The boost clock of 2505 MHz provides consistent peak performance across resolutions, as evidenced by the measured FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This combo ranks 334th out of 3,723 tested combinations, placing it in the top 8.97% of all configurations. This is a strong result, reflecting that the Ryzen 7 5700X and RTX 4080 form a well-balanced partnership for this title. The rank indicates that while there are 333 combos with higher performance, the vast majority (3,389 combos) are slower. The data suggests that the RTX 4080 is the primary driver of this ranking, as the CPU’s performance is comparable to many mid-range options, but the GPU’s high percentile (86th) boosts the overall experience.

In practical terms, this ranking means the combo can handle Pc Building Simulator at high settings across all resolutions, with only the most extreme hardware configurations (likely featuring higher-tier CPUs or GPUs) outperforming it. The gap between this combo and the top 10% is likely small, given that the RTX 4080’s nearest rivals differ by only 0.1% to 2.7% in average GPU score. For a simulation game that is not typically the most demanding title, this rank confirms that the combo is overqualified for smooth gameplay, but it also ensures headroom for future updates or more complex user-created scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1080p, the combo delivers outstanding performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 341 FPS, Medium averages 300 FPS (with min/max of 255/345), High averages 235 FPS, and Ultra averages 224 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 34% drop in average FPS, which is modest for a simulation title. The minimum FPS recorded at Medium (255) is still far above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating no perceptible stuttering. At 1080p, the CPU and GPU are both underutilized, as the frame rates are likely capped by the game engine’s simulation update rate rather than hardware limits.

At 1440p, performance remains excellent. Low settings average 293 FPS, Medium averages 210 FPS (with min/max of 179/242), High averages 148 FPS, and Ultra averages 141 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 52%, which is steeper than at 1080p, suggesting that the GPU is becoming more involved. The Medium preset’s minimum FPS of 179 still provides a smooth experience, and even Ultra’s 141 FPS is far above refresh-rate requirements for most monitors. The 1440p results indicate that the RTX 4080’s 716.8 GB/s bandwidth and 16 GB VRAM are sufficient to handle the increased pixel count without compromising frame delivery.

At 4K, performance is still playable but shows more variation. Low settings average 155 FPS, Medium averages 110 FPS (with min/max of 93/126), High averages 78 FPS, and Ultra averages 74 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 52%, mirroring 1440p’s scaling. The Medium preset’s minimum FPS of 93 is the only measured value below 100 FPS across all resolutions, but it remains comfortably above 60 FPS. Ultra at 4K delivers 74 FPS average, which is sufficient for smooth gameplay on most displays. The data shows that even at the most demanding settings, the combo never falls below 74 FPS average, confirming the RTX 4080’s strength.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The FPS scaling across resolutions reveals the limiting component. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS across all settings drops by approximately 14% to 38%, depending on the preset. For example, Low goes from 341 FPS to 293 FPS (a 14% drop), while Ultra goes from 224 FPS to 141 FPS (a 37% drop). This indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is the limiting factor—the game’s simulation logic cannot feed the GPU fast enough to reach higher frame rates, even though the RTX 4080 has more headroom. The relatively small drop at Low settings (14%) suggests that the CPU is already near its maximum throughput for this game, and the GPU is not being fully utilized.

From 1440p to 4K, the drops are more substantial. Low goes from 293 FPS to 155 FPS (a 47% drop), Medium from 210 FPS to 110 FPS (a 48% drop), High from 148 FPS to 78 FPS (a 47% drop), and Ultra from 141 FPS to 74 FPS (a 48% drop). This consistent ~47-48% drop across all settings is a classic sign of GPU-bound scaling, where the RTX 4080’s pixel throughput becomes the bottleneck as resolution increases. The uniformity of the drop (nearly identical percentages) confirms that the GPU is now the limiting factor, and the CPU’s performance is no longer constraining frame rates.

The transition point appears to be between 1080p and 1440p. At 1080p, the CPU is the bottleneck; at 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck; at 1440p, the system is balanced. This is an ideal scenario for a high-refresh-rate monitor at 1440p, where the combo can deliver 141-293 FPS depending on settings. The data also shows that the RTX 4080’s 16 GB VRAM does not cause any memory-related stuttering at 4K, as the minimum FPS at Medium (93) is still high, indicating sufficient memory bandwidth.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, the Medium preset is the recommended choice across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium averages 300 FPS with a minimum of 255 FPS, providing a 33% improvement over High (235 FPS) while maintaining a minimum frame rate that is 8% higher than High’s average. The 300 FPS average is more than sufficient for any display, and the 255 FPS minimum ensures no perceptible drops. The visual difference between Medium and High in Pc Building Simulator is likely minimal, as the game’s rendering is not heavily dependent on texture detail.

At 1440p, Medium delivers 210 FPS average with a 179 FPS minimum, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors (144 Hz or 165 Hz). The improvement over High is 42% (210 vs 148 FPS), making Medium the clear choice for competitive or smooth gameplay. Ultra at 1440p drops to 141 FPS, which is still playable but offers only marginal visual gains over Medium. The 69 FPS gap between Medium and Ultra (210 vs 141) is not justified by the visual differences in a simulation title.

At 4K, Medium is again the optimal preset. It averages 110 FPS with a minimum of 93 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay on 4K displays with variable refresh rates. High drops to 78 FPS, which is below the 90 FPS threshold that many users prefer for high-refresh 4K monitors, and Ultra at 74 FPS is only slightly lower. The Medium preset’s 93 FPS minimum is 19% higher than High’s average, providing a more consistent experience. For users with a 60 Hz 4K display, Ultra at 74 FPS is acceptable, but Medium’s 110 FPS average offers better headroom for demanding scenes or background applications.

In summary, the Medium preset provides the best experience at every resolution, with the largest frame rate advantages over High and Ultra while maintaining minimum FPS values that are never below 93. The Low preset offers even higher frame rates (155 FPS at 4K, 293 FPS at 1440p, 341 FPS at 1080p) but sacrifices visual fidelity that may be noticeable in a game centered on component detail. The data supports Medium as the sweet spot, balancing the RTX 4080’s capabilities with the CPU’s simulation load.
