Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title where frame pacing and component interaction modeling matter more than raw graphical spectacle. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination produces a measured dataset that clearly separates CPU-bound scenarios from GPU-bound ones. With a combo rank of 2612 out of 3723 tested configurations, this pairing sits in the lower-middle tier of the database, yet the frame rates it achieves across resolutions reveal a consistent and predictable performance curve that is more than adequate for the game's genre.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X brings 8 cores and 16 threads to the test bench, running on the Zen 3 Vermeer architecture with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its 32 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 51.2 GB/s provide the foundation for handling the simulation logic that drives Pc Building Simulator. The CPU's benchmark scores indicate strong multi-threaded capability: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15476 and a Passmark multithread score of 27732 show that the processor can handle the game's background calculations, while the single-core Geekbench score of 2032 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1574.5 suggest sufficient per-thread performance for the game's primary update loop.

In the measured FPS data, the CPU's influence becomes apparent at lower resolutions and higher frame rates. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 225 FPS, which is a figure that indicates the CPU is still keeping pace with the GPU's output. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7586 and max-thread score of 7578 are nearly identical, confirming that the CPU scales well when all threads are utilized, which is relevant for a simulation game that may spawn multiple worker threads for component physics and compatibility checks. The CPU's 81st percentile ranking among all CPUs places it in the upper quintile, yet the combo rank is dragged down by the GPU's lower percentile standing.

The relationship between CPU and GPU in this game is not one of extreme bottleneck at either end. At 1080p Ultra, the combo drops to 107 FPS from the Low setting's 225 FPS, a reduction that points to GPU limitation rather than CPU constraint. The CPU's Passmark physics score of 1364 and floating-point math score of 52639 indicate the processor has ample headroom for the game's logic, meaning the frame rate ceilings at each resolution are dictated by the graphics card's output rather than the CPU's processing speed. The 105 W TDP and 7 nm process node suggest thermal headroom for sustained boost clocks, though the measured data does not include per-core clock behavior during gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The measured combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 2612th out of 3723 combos tested in Pc Building Simulator. This percentile position — roughly the 30th percentile — suggests that while the individual components are not weak, the pairing is not optimized for this specific title. The CPU's 81st percentile ranking among all CPUs is significantly higher than the GPU's 62nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, indicating that the graphics card is the limiting factor in the overall combo performance.

The benchmark scores for the RTX 2060 SUPER show why it drags the combo down. Its Passmark G3D score of 16462 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2011 are modest figures, and its nearest rivals are all within 1.6% of its average score. This tight cluster around the 18000-18400 average benchmark range means the GPU is competitive with its immediate peers, but none of these cards are top-tier performers. The GPU's DirectX 11 score of 130 and DirectX 12 score of 61 from Passmark further illustrate that the card's raw rendering throughput is moderate.

The CPU, by contrast, shows a wider gap between its performance and its rivals. The 5800X's average benchmark score of 29123 puts it in a position where it is essentially tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H (29093) and clearly ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (28940). However, the CPU's benchmark strengths do not translate into a high combo rank because the game's frame rates at higher resolutions are bound by the GPU. The rank of 2612 reflects a system where the CPU has headroom that the GPU cannot exploit, particularly at 4K where the average FPS drops to 35 at Ultra settings.

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

The measured FPS data spans three resolutions and four quality presets, providing twelve distinct data points. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers an average of 225 FPS at Low settings, 159 FPS at Medium with a minimum of 135 and maximum of 183, 112 FPS at High, and 107 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 118 FPS, showing that the settings preset has a substantial impact on performance at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 142 FPS at Low, 100 FPS at Medium (min 85, max 116), 71 FPS at High, and 68 FPS at Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is 83 FPS (from 225 to 142), while at Ultra the drop is 39 FPS (from 107 to 68). This pattern indicates that at higher settings, the resolution scaling has a relatively smaller absolute impact because the GPU is already working harder per frame.

At 3840x2160, the averages fall to 74 FPS at Low, 53 FPS at Medium (min 45, max 60), 37 FPS at High, and 35 FPS at Ultra. The Medium setting at 4K is the only preset in the entire dataset that includes both a minimum and maximum frame rate, with a 15 FPS spread between the 45 FPS minimum and 60 FPS maximum. This suggests that the 4K Medium preset is the most demanding configuration that still maintains playable frame rates, albeit with noticeable variance.

The full progression from 1080p Low to 4K Ultra shows a monotonic decrease: 225 to 74 at Low, 159 to 53 at Medium, 112 to 37 at High, and 107 to 35 at Ultra. The minimum FPS values are only recorded for the Medium preset at each resolution, which means the data does not include frame time variance information for the other presets.

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

The resolution scaling behavior reveals that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the primary constraint in this combo. From 1080p Low (225 FPS) to 4K Low (74 FPS), the frame rate drops by 151 FPS, or approximately 67%. This massive reduction at the Low preset, where the CPU is not heavily loaded by graphics processing, indicates that the GPU's rendering throughput is the limiting factor. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates at 1080p Low would be lower and the scaling curve would flatten out sooner.

At Ultra settings, the drop from 1080p (107 FPS) to 4K (35 FPS) represents a 72 FPS reduction, or again approximately 67%. The consistency of this percentage drop across Low and Ultra presets suggests that the GPU's architectural limits — its 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth — are being hit at every quality level. The GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides sufficient bandwidth for 4K textures, but the raw shader throughput is not enough to maintain high frame rates at that resolution.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly telling. At Medium settings, the drop from 100 FPS to 53 FPS is a 47% reduction, while at High settings the drop from 71 FPS to 37 FPS is a 48% reduction. These near-identical scaling ratios confirm that the GPU is the limiting component, as the CPU's performance headroom (evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15476) would allow for more consistent frame rates if the graphics load were lighter. The data strongly indicates that to improve performance at 4K, a GPU upgrade would be necessary, as the Ryzen 7 5800X's computational capabilities are not being fully utilized at that resolution.

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

The measured data points to 2560x1440 Medium as the optimal balance between visual quality and performance. This preset delivers 100 FPS average with a minimum of 85 FPS and maximum of 116 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay and provides a 15 FPS buffer above the minimum. The 1440p resolution offers a substantial visual improvement over 1080p, and the Medium preset's 100 FPS average is high enough to ensure that the simulation's UI and component interactions remain responsive.

For players who prefer higher visual fidelity, the 1080p Ultra preset at 107 FPS average is the best choice. This delivers nearly the same frame rate as 1440p Medium but with Ultra quality settings, making it the highest-quality preset that maintains triple-digit frame rates. The 1080p High preset at 112 FPS is marginally faster than Ultra but does not provide the same visual benefits, so Ultra is the better option if the resolution is acceptable.

At 4K, the Medium preset is the only viable option, with a 53 FPS average and a minimum of 45 FPS. This is below the ideal 60 FPS target but remains playable for a simulation game where precise timing is less critical. The 4K Low preset at 74 FPS is smoother but sacrifices significant visual quality, and the 4K High and Ultra presets at 37 FPS and 35 FPS respectively are too low for comfortable gameplay. The 1440p Low preset at 142 FPS is an option for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors, but it does not offer the visual balance of the Medium preset.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with the TU106 chip, featuring 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. Its base clock of 1470 MHz and boost clock of 1650 MHz drive the 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 34 RT cores and 272 tensor cores are present but not directly relevant to Pc Building Simulator's rendering workload, which is primarily rasterization-based.

The GPU's 62nd percentile ranking among all GPUs and its average benchmark score of 18093 place it in the mid-range of the database. Its nearest rivals — the RTX 3060 Mobile, Radeon Pro 5700, Radeon RX 460, and Arc A770M — all score within 1.6% of the RTX 2060 SUPER, indicating that this card is not an outlier in either direction. The measured frame rates confirm this mid-range positioning: the GPU handles 1080p and 1440p competently but struggles at 4K Ultra, where the 35 FPS average reveals the limits of its 7.181 TFLOPS throughput.

The memory subsystem is sufficient for the game's requirements. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8 GB capacity are not exceeded at any of the measured settings, as evidenced by the fact that the frame rate drops from 1080p to 4K are consistent with compute-bound behavior rather than memory-related stuttering. The pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s are the specifications that determine the GPU's ability to fill the screen at higher resolutions, and the 4K results show that these rates are insufficient for smooth Ultra gameplay. The GPU's TDP of 175 W and recommended 450 W PSU are consistent with its mid-range positioning, and the dual-slot cooler design with a single 8-pin power connector is adequate for the card's power draw.
