The CPU side shows a similar story: the Ryzen 7 5700X's average score of 26,214 is within 0.2% of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, and within 0.1% of the Intel Core i9-11900KF. This near-parity among rivals means the combination's rank depends more on the GPU's ability to push frames than on CPU headroom.

In practical terms, the data shows this combo is built for high-refresh gaming at 1440p and smooth 4K play. The rank of 58 out of 1,769 isn't just about raw numbers — it reflects how well these two components work together in Pc Building Simulator's specific workload, which rewards both single-thread responsiveness and massive GPU throughput.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090 is the dominant force in this pairing, and the measured FPS data confirms it. With 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, the GPU has enormous headroom for texture-heavy scenes. The memory clock runs at 1,750 MHz (28 Gbps effective), while the base clock sits at 2,017 MHz and boosts to 2,407 MHz. These clocks, combined with 21,760 shading units and 176 ROPs, produce a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is decisive. At 4K Ultra, the combo delivers 83.7 FPS; at 4K High, it climbs to 87.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is substantial — 180 FPS versus 83.7 FPS — indicating that the GPU is the primary scaling factor as settings increase. The RTX 5090's FP32 throughput of 104.8 TFLOPS gives it the compute headroom to handle the simulation's physics and rendering simultaneously, and the 170 RT cores provide future-proofing for any ray-traced elements.

The GPU's 94th percentile ranking among all GPUs underscores its elite status. Compared to its nearest rival, the RTX 5090 D, it leads by 0.1% in average score. The RTX 5050 Mobile trails by 0.2%, while the AMD Radeon PRO W6600 sits 1.3% behind. This close competition at the top means the RTX 5090's advantage comes from its massive memory bandwidth and core count rather than a dominant clock-speed lead.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers exceptional frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 342.1 FPS, Medium reaches 301.8 FPS, High manages 263.1 FPS, and Ultra holds 254.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 87.8 FPS, showing that even at maximum settings the frame rate remains above 250 FPS.

Moving to 1440p, the numbers remain strong but show the GPU starting to work harder. Low settings hit 292.1 FPS, Medium produces 242.6 FPS, High delivers 167.6 FPS, and Ultra maintains 163.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 128.4 FPS — a larger drop than at 1080p, indicating increased GPU load.

At 4K, the picture changes significantly. Low settings still manage 180 FPS, but Medium falls to 128.3 FPS, High drops to 87.6 FPS, and Ultra sits at 83.7 FPS. The Low-to-Ultra spread at 4K is 96.3 FPS, and the absolute numbers confirm that 4K Ultra is the most demanding configuration in the dataset.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a clear pattern: frame rates scale inversely with resolution, but the rate of decline varies by setting. From 1080p to 1440p, the Low setting drops from 342.1 FPS to 292.1 FPS — a 14.6% reduction. From 1440p to 4K, Low falls from 292.1 FPS to 180 FPS — a 38.4% reduction. This accelerating drop indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are being saturated as pixel count increases.

For Ultra settings, the scaling is steeper. 1080p Ultra delivers 254.3 FPS, 1440p Ultra drops to 163.7 FPS (35.6% reduction), and 4K Ultra falls to 83.7 FPS (48.9% reduction from 1440p). The proportionally larger drop at higher settings suggests that Pc Building Simulator's Ultra preset adds effects that disproportionately tax the GPU at higher resolutions.

The limiting component is clearly the GPU at 4K. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads, running at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost of 4.60 GHz, are more than sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 342.1 FPS result suggests the CPU is still keeping pace, but the 47% drop from 1080p Low to 4K Low points to the GPU becoming the bottleneck as resolution scales.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700X provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer), manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. With a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz, it delivers strong single-thread performance — a 3dmark single-thread score of 921 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,193. Multi-threaded performance is equally solid, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,620 and a PassMark multithread score of 26,612.

The CPU's role in Pc Building Simulator is to keep up with the GPU's frame output. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) provide adequate data flow for the simulation's logic. The CPU sits in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26,214 — nearly identical to its nearest rivals. The Intel Core i9-11900KF trails by just 0.1%, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X leads by 0.2%.

At lower resolutions, the CPU's performance ceiling becomes apparent. The 342.1 FPS at 1080p Low is likely near the CPU's practical limit for this game, as the GPU could theoretically push higher. The 3dmark 16-thread score of 6,858 and max-thread score of 6,850 show consistent scaling across thread counts, but the game's simulation logic seems to hit diminishing returns beyond 8 threads.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K gaming, the data strongly favors Ultra settings. The difference between High (87.6 FPS) and Ultra (83.7 FPS) is just 3.9 FPS — a negligible cost for maximum visual quality. Both are comfortably above 60 FPS, making Ultra the clear choice for 4K displays.

At 1440p, Medium settings (242.6 FPS) offer the best experience for competitive play, while High (167.6 FPS) and Ultra (163.7 FPS) provide nearly identical frame rates. The 78.9 FPS gap between Medium and High suggests that High adds significant visual effects that may not justify the frame rate cost for all players. For most users, High at 1440p strikes the ideal balance, delivering well above 144 Hz refresh rates.

For 1080p, all settings exceed 250 FPS, so the choice depends on monitor refresh rate. If using a 240 Hz display, High (263.1 FPS) and Ultra (254.3 FPS) both keep the display fed. For 360 Hz displays, Low (342.1 FPS) is the only setting that fully saturates the panel. Given the minimal visual difference between Medium and High at 1080p (38.7 FPS), High remains the recommended preset for most users, with Ultra being viable for those who prioritize image quality over raw frame rates.
