Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, with the GPU becoming progressively more limiting at higher resolutions. At 1080p with Ultra settings, the combo achieves 224 FPS, which drops to 141 FPS at 1440p (a 37% reduction) and further to 74 FPS at 4K (a 67% reduction from 1080p). This scaling pattern is consistent with GPU-bound performance, as the rendering workload increases roughly in proportion to the pixel count while the CPU's contribution remains relatively constant.

The Low preset demonstrates even more dramatic scaling, with 299 FPS at 1080p dropping to 256 FPS at 1440p (14% reduction) and 155 FPS at 4K (48% reduction). The smaller percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings compared to Ultra settings (14% vs 37%) suggests that at lower graphical fidelity, the CPU plays a more significant role in maintaining frame rates, and the GPU has more headroom to handle the increased resolution. The Medium preset shows intermediate scaling behavior, with 263 FPS at 1080p, 210 FPS at 1440p (20% reduction), and 110 FPS at 4K (58% reduction), while also providing the only measured minimum and maximum frame rate data in the dataset.

The resolution scaling analysis indicates that the RTX 4080's performance in Pc Building Simulator is primarily limited by pixel throughput rather than memory bandwidth or capacity. The 716.8 GB/s memory bandwidth provides sufficient headroom even at 4K Ultra, as evidenced by the playable frame rates, and the 16 GB VRAM capacity ensures that texture memory is not a limiting factor. The data suggests that users targeting 4K gaming should expect roughly half the frame rates achievable at 1080p, which is consistent with the GPU's rendering capabilities.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D plays a supporting role in Pc Building Simulator, providing sufficient processing power to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 4080 while contributing to overall system responsiveness. The processor's 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 3 architecture, deliver strong multi-threaded performance as evidenced by the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22366 and the Passmark multithread score of 26318. The 96 MB shared L3 cache is particularly beneficial for simulation games, which often have large working sets that benefit from cache locality.

The CPU's single-threaded performance, while not class-leading, is adequate for Pc Building Simulator's game logic and physics calculations. The 3dmark_single_thread score of 804 and the Cinebench R15 single-core score of 318 indicate that the processor handles single-threaded workloads competently, ensuring that the game's simulation loop does not become a performance bottleneck. The base clock of 3.00 GHz and boost clock of 4.10 GHz provide sufficient frequency headroom, though the processor's 105 W TDP suggests that adequate cooling is necessary to maintain sustained boost clocks during extended gaming sessions.

The processor's nearest rival comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5700X3D performs nearly identically to the Ryzen 5 7600X3D, with only a 0.1% difference in average benchmark scores. This indicates that for Pc Building Simulator, the additional cores and cache of the 5700X3D do not provide a meaningful advantage over the 7600X3D, as the game likely does not scale well beyond a certain number of threads. The processor's 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms that it provides above-average performance, but the benchmark data suggests that the GPU is the primary determinant of frame rates in this game, particularly at higher resolutions.
