Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers a performance profile in Pc Building Simulator that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphics settings. The data reveals a system capable of extremely high frame rates, yet the scaling patterns indicate where the bottleneck shifts between the CPU and GPU. This analysis breaks down the measured results to provide a clear picture of the combo's capabilities.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings, indicating a clear transition from a CPU-bound scenario at lower resolutions to a GPU-bound one at 4K. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 346.3 FPS at 1920x1080 to 152.8 FPS at 3840x2160, a reduction of 55.9%. This dramatic decline shows that while the Ryzen 7 5800X is capable of feeding the GPU at 1080p, the rendering load at 4K overwhelms the graphics card, making it the primary limiting component.

The pattern persists across other settings. At Medium, the drop from 303.7 FPS at 1080p to 110.6 FPS at 4K represents a 63.6% decrease. At High settings, the fall is from 235.5 FPS to 74.9 FPS, a 68.2% reduction. The scaling is slightly less severe at Ultra, where the frame rate goes from 220.8 FPS at 1080p to 76.1 FPS at 4K, a 65.5% drop. The fact that the percentage decrease is larger at higher settings reinforces the notion that the GPU's workload scales significantly with both resolution and graphical fidelity.

The data suggests that at 1920x1080, the CPU is the limiting factor, as the GPU has ample headroom to render frames quickly. At 2560x1440, the balance shifts, with the GPU becoming more involved. At 3840x2160, the RTX 4080 SUPER is fully saturated, and the frame rates are dictated almost entirely by its rendering capabilities. This is a classic demonstration of how a high-end CPU like the 5800X can support very high frame rates at lower resolutions, but the GPU becomes the bottleneck as pixel count increases.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER plays a decisive role in the 4K results, where its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth are put to the test. The card's boost clock of 2550 MHz and its 10240 shading units are the primary drivers of the frame rates observed at 3840x2160. At this resolution, the GPU's raw compute power is the determining factor, with the Ultra preset yielding 76.1 FPS and the High preset yielding 74.9 FPS, showing that the card is fully utilized and the difference between these two presets is minimal.

The GPU's role is less pronounced at 1080p, where the frame rates exceed 220 FPS on all presets. At Low settings, the card achieves 346.3 FPS, which is 46.9% higher than the 235.5 FPS seen at High settings. This gap narrows at 4K, where the Low preset achieves 152.8 FPS versus 74.9 FPS at High, a 104% difference. This indicates that at lower resolutions, the GPU is not the bottleneck, and the CPU's performance in feeding the rendering pipeline is more critical. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is more than sufficient for the simulation's demands at 1080p, but at 4K, the sheer number of pixels being processed limits the frame rate.

The GPU's memory configuration is also relevant. The 256-bit bus and 16 GB capacity are not stressed at 1080p or 1440p, but at 4K, the bandwidth becomes a factor in maintaining smooth performance. The data shows that the card is powerful enough to handle the game at 4K, but the frame rates are not exceptionally high, indicating that the game's engine may not be fully optimized for the card's architecture. Overall, the GPU is the dominant component at 4K, while the CPU holds more sway at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience according to the measured rows, the Medium preset at 2560x1440 offers a strong balance between visual quality and performance, delivering 206.6 FPS. This is a significant jump from the 141.7 FPS at Ultra, while still providing a substantial improvement in fidelity over Low. At 1920x1080, the High preset is recommended, as it provides 235.5 FPS, which is well above the refresh rate of most monitors, while the jump to Ultra only reduces the frame rate to 220.8 FPS, a marginal difference that may not justify the extra load.

At 3840x2160, the choice is more nuanced. The Ultra preset yields 76.1 FPS, which is playable but not exceptionally smooth. The High preset is nearly identical at 74.9 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra settings do not offer a meaningful visual benefit in this game for the performance cost. The Medium preset at 110.6 FPS is a better option for 4K gaming, as it provides a much smoother experience while still offering a decent level of detail. The Low preset at 152.8 FPS is the only way to achieve a high refresh rate at 4K, but it sacrifices visual quality.

The data indicates that the game is not particularly demanding on the GPU at lower settings, allowing for very high frame rates. However, the CPU's performance is the limiting factor at 1080p, as evidenced by the relatively small difference between the 303.7 FPS at Medium and the 346.3 FPS at Low. For users with high refresh rate monitors, the Low preset at 1440p is the only way to approach the 293.9 FPS mark, which is likely above the refresh rate of most displays. The Medium preset at 1440p is the most sensible recommendation for most users, as it offers a good balance of speed and visual quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates provide a detailed look at the combo's performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are as follows: Low settings produce 346.3 FPS, Medium settings produce 303.7 FPS, High settings produce 235.5 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 220.8 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is 42.6 FPS, while the difference between High and Ultra is only 14.7 FPS, showing diminishing returns at the top end.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low settings produce 293.9 FPS, Medium settings produce 206.6 FPS, High settings produce 149.2 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 141.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 87.3 FPS, which is substantial, while the gap between High and Ultra is a mere 7.5 FPS. This pattern suggests that the Ultra preset is not well optimized, offering little performance benefit over High.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are: Low settings produce 152.8 FPS, Medium settings produce 110.6 FPS, High settings produce 74.9 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 76.1 FPS. Interestingly, the Ultra preset is slightly faster than High at this resolution, a 1.2 FPS difference that is within measurement error. The drop from Medium to High is 35.7 FPS, which is significant, and indicates that the High and Ultra presets impose a heavy load on the GPU.

The data shows a consistent trend: the frame rate scaling is not linear across settings. The jump from Medium to High is often the largest, while the jump from High to Ultra is minimal. This suggests that the High and Ultra presets share many of the same costly rendering features, and the performance difference is not justified by the visual gains. The measured FPS data is comprehensive, covering all three resolutions and four settings, providing a clear picture of the combo's capabilities.
