Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title where system assembly and troubleshooting take priority over graphical fidelity, yet the benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination reveals a configuration that scales predictably with resolution and settings. The measured frame rates show a hardware pairing that is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p but transitions into a more demanding experience at 4K, with the GPU becoming the primary constraint. This analysis breaks down the measured performance data, contextualizes the results within the broader benchmark database, and provides actionable settings recommendations based solely on the observed figures.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data shows a clear and consistent drop as resolution increases, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces an average of 102 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 High settings reduces that average to 65 FPS, a decline of 37 FPS. At 3840x2160 High settings, the average plummets to 34 FPS, which is exactly half the 1080p figure. This scaling pattern—where 4K performance is roughly one-third of 1080p performance—indicates that the rendering workload is expanding in a predictable linear fashion with pixel count.

The scaling behavior is even more pronounced when examining the Low settings preset. At 1080p Low, the average FPS reaches 205, which is an exceptionally high figure that suggests the CPU and GPU are not being fully stressed. At 1440p Low, the average drops to 129 FPS, and at 4K Low, it falls to 68 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p is a 76 FPS loss, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is a 61 FPS loss. This suggests that at Low settings, the GPU still has headroom at 1080p, and the scaling remains relatively smooth across resolutions.

The Medium settings preset provides the only complete data set with minimum and maximum frame rates. At 1080p Medium, the average is 145 FPS with a minimum of 123 FPS and a maximum of 167 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average falls to 92 FPS with a minimum of 78 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 48 FPS with a minimum of 41 FPS and a maximum of 55 FPS. The minimum frame rates at each resolution are 85%, 85%, and 85% of the average respectively, indicating a stable frame time distribution without significant stuttering.

The Ultra settings preset shows the most dramatic scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 98 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 62 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 32 FPS. The difference between 1080p and 1440p Ultra is 36 FPS, while the difference between 1440p and 4K Ultra is 30 FPS. This nearly linear scaling suggests that the GPU is the limiting component at all resolutions when Ultra settings are applied, as the workload increases proportionally with pixel count.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is the central component in determining frame rates for this combo, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU has a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1680 MHz, with 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus providing 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The benchmark results show that the GPU's average benchmark score is 15290, placing it in the 58th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 with a deltaPct of 0, the AMD Radeon 680M with a deltaPct of 0.1, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM with a deltaPct of 0.6, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 with a deltaPct of 0.8.

The VRAM capacity of 6 GB becomes a relevant factor when examining the 4K results. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 32, which is the lowest measured value across all tests. While the frame rate data does not directly indicate VRAM limitations, the substantial performance drop from 1080p Ultra (98 FPS) to 4K Ultra (32 FPS) suggests that the GPU is struggling to maintain playable performance at the highest resolution and settings. The 6 GB VRAM buffer may be insufficient for the texture and geometry demands of 4K Ultra in this simulation genre, though the frame pacing remains consistent.

The GPU's compute capabilities are evidenced by its benchmark scores: a PassMark G3D score of 14111, a PassMark GPU Compute score of 5488, and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 65014. These figures place the RTX 2060 in a competitive position relative to its peers, but the measured game performance shows that the GPU becomes the bottleneck at 4K, as the CPU has sufficient headroom to push higher frame rates if the GPU could render faster.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 holds a combo rank of 2936 out of 3723 total combinations. This places the combo in the 21st percentile of all tested configurations, meaning that approximately 79% of all tested combos perform better in Pc Building Simulator. This ranking reflects the fact that the RTX 2060 is an older mid-range GPU, while the CPU is a high-end processor from the 5000 series.

The CPU's individual performance metrics help contextualize the combo ranking. The Ryzen 7 5800X has an average benchmark score of 29123, placing it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs.
