Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation game released in January 2019, and this page covers the measured performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080. The data set contains twelve measured FPS points across three resolutions and four graphical presets, all recorded without variable-rate shading or frame generation. The analysis below breaks down how the hardware behaves in this title, starting with scaling trends and ending with settings recommendations.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution is the single most influential factor on frame output in this combo. At High, the average FPS drops from 235 at 2570×1440? No, correct: the measured resolutions are 3840×2160, 2560×1440, and 1920×1080. For High preset, values are 235 (1080p), 148 (1440p), and 78 (4K). The pattern is consistent across every setting. At Low, the same drop is 347 (1080p) → 297 (1440p) → 155 (4K). Medium shifts from 305 → 210 → 110, and Ultra from 224 → 141 → 74.

This scaling clearly indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. In 1080p the system saturates very high frame rates, with the CPU often the limiting factor at that level. For example, the jump from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is a 37% reduction (347 to 297), but the jump from 1440p Low to 4K Low is a 99% increase in pixels, yet the frame rate falls from 297 to 155. The magnitude of the drop grows as resolution rises, which is a classic sign of the GPU being maximized.

At 4K, the ultra preset still stays above 60 FPS (74), so the card never feels strained. The difference between 1440p Ultra and 1080p Ultra is only 83 FPS, meaning 1440p is still highly playable. The data shows that the combination handles 1440p and 4K with clear headroom, but the CPU will limit final performance at 1080p and below.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is an 8‑core, 16‑thread processor based on Zen 3 (Vermeer) architecture. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 32 MB L3 cache and a 72 MB total L2+L3. It uses the AM4 socket with PCIe Gen 4 support (20 lanes) and supports dual‑channel DDR4 memory at 51.2 GB/s. The launch MSRP of the CPU is $449.

The CPU’s multi‑threading strength is clear from the benchmarks. In Cinebench R23, it achieves 15,476 multi‑core and 1,574.5 single‑core points. In 3DMark, the 16‑thread score is 7,586, the single‑thread 943. Geekbench shows multi‑core 11,036 and single‑core 2,032. The Passmark multithread score is 27,732 and single‑thread 3,445. These numbers place it at the 81st percentile of all CPUs.

In unit terms, the CPU’s applicability to a simulation game is significant. The high multi‑core throughput helps with system logic, while the strong single‑thread performance, for a 943‑score in 3DMark single‑thread, is more than enough. The measured 1080p average frame rates (up to 347 at Low) are high enough that the CPU does not starve the GPU at high settings. However, the 1080p Low numbers suggest that the CPU is the first any potential bottleneck at extreme low settings, since the GPU is overloaded. The nearest competing CPUs in the average benchmark score are the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H (0.1% higher) and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (0.6% higher), showing how close this chip is to modern alternatives.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 4080 occupies the 321st position out of 3,723 tested CPU-GPU pairings in Pc Building Simulator. These are rare, but they indicate a high‑level system. Ranking in the top 10% of all tested configurations directly means that the system is certainly in the elite bracket, with only 320 other combos producing higher measured frame rates across the tested resolution/settings matrix.

That said, the stack 321/372 ― approximately the top 9% ― is mostly because the game is not particularly heavy on GPU at high FPS. The 4080’s raw output likely accounts for the gap between 1080p and 4K, but other combos using stronger GPUs like the RTX 4080 SUPER or the newer Blackwell could outperform. Within the tested set, the rank comes from the combination’s ability to push high average FPS at 1440p and 4K, which is exactly what the data shows.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is a 40‑series card based on Ada Lovelace architecture. It has 9,728 shading units, 76 RT cores, 302 tensor cores, and 112 ROPs. Memory is 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256‑bit bus with 716.8 GB/s bandwidth. The boost clock is 2,505 MHz and the base clock 2,205 MHz. The TDP is 320 W, with a triple‑slot design. The GPU’s launch MSRP was 1,199 USD.

In the synthetic benchmarks, it scores 6,567 points in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 214,739 in Geekbench OpenCL, 263,779 in Geekbench Vulkan, and 34,457 in Passmark G3D. Its average benchmark score is 54,247, placing it at the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Compared to its closest air, the RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54,209 (delta +0.1%), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828 (-1.1%), the Radeon RX 6750 GRE scores 55,698 (-2.6%), and the Radeon 8060S scores 55,757 (-2.7%). These deltas are slight, implying that the RTX 4080 is in the mid‑high sector of the market.

Performance in Pc Building Simulator reflects the GPU's strengths. At 1440p Ultra, the average is 141 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it drops to 74 FPS, still above 60. The 1080p Low frame rate of 347 FPS shows that even the fastest CPU and GPU cannot overcome the game's simulation engine at low settings. The 16 GB VRAM is plenty for 4K textures, and there are no signs of frame drop due to situation.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured data points exactly as six.

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|----------------|----------|-------------|---------|---------|

| 3840x2160 (4K) | High | 78 | — | — |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 155 | — | — |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 110 | 93 | 126 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 74 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | High | 148 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 297 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 210 | 179 | 242 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 141 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | High | 235 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 347 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 305 | 260 | 351 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 224 | — | — |

A few patterns emerge. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is only 123 FPS (347 vs 224), meaning that the CPU is not a limiting factor; the GPU and extreme framerates run into the game's engine. At 1440p, the Low‑to‑Ultra spread is 156 FPS (297–141), but the minimum at Medium is 179 FPS, so even medium presets are smooth. At 4K, Low–to‑Ultra spans 81 FPS (155–74), and the 93–126 range for Medium shows that frame drops are well contained.

The single‑frame minimum is 93 at 2160p Medium, which is still above 90 FPS. The only time the frame dips under 60 at 4K Ultra (74) is the lowest recorded. Overall, the worst‑case scenario in the entire data set is 74 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is easily handled on most displays.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal preset depends on resolution and target refresh rate.

For a 1080p display with a 60Hz or 144Hz refresh, the Ultra preset provides an average of 224 FPS, which exceeds any high‑refresh monitor. There is no reason to lower settings at this resolution unless you want to reduce GPU load, but even Ultra easily passes 200 FPS. The Low preset is unnecessary, but if you want to push 347 FPS on a 240Hz, it is there.

At 1440p, Ultra delivers 141 FPS and always hits above 60. For a 144Hz monitor set to 120–144 Hz, Ultra is recommended because it offers maximum quality without sacrificing perceptual smoothness. If you require 240 Hz, Medium (210 FPS) and High (148) are viable, though High at 148 is only 8% above 144, so Medium is safer for a solid 144+.

For 4K UHD, you have two main choices. If your display targets 60 Hz, you can run Ultra at 74 FPS average, and since every setting is above 60, the GPU will hold that framerate in most situations. If you prefer headroom above 100 FPS, Medium is the sweet spot at 110 FPS average, with a measured low of 93 and high of 126. The 155 FPS average at Low plus does not offer better visuals, so Medium or Ultra are the only sensible choices – Medium for high refresh 4K, Ultra for just above 60.

Speaking generally, the combination never drops below the 60 FPS threshold at any resolution or preset, including 4K with Ultra. This is a rare trait for a CPU‑GPU pairing, making the system exceptional for its intended use of simulating a PC building environment.
