This combination of AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA's RTX 5090 D produces a system that ranks 92nd out of 3002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 3% of all configurations tested. The data shows a machine that delivers playable frame rates across all resolution and settings combinations, with the RTX 5090 D providing massive headroom that keeps the system GPU-bound at higher resolutions while the 5800X handles the simulation's CPU workload comfortably.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a classic resolution scaling pattern, with average frame rates dropping by roughly half when moving from 1080p to 4K at the same settings. At Low settings, the system produces 347 FPS at 1920x1080, which falls to 298 FPS at 2560x1440, and then drops to 187 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 46% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the GPU is still managing the workload effectively even at the highest resolution.

The High settings preset shows a similar trajectory: 268 FPS at 1080p, 179 FPS at 1440p, and 94 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly steep here, with a 47% performance drop. This suggests that at 4K High, the RTX 5090 D is being pushed harder, but the 94 FPS result remains well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay in a simulation title.

Medium settings tell a slightly different story, with 305 FPS at 1080p, 254 FPS at 1440p, and 133 FPS at 4K. The 1440p to 4K drop here is 48%, and this preset includes the only min/max FPS data in the entire measurement set. At 4K Medium, the system records a minimum of 113 FPS and a maximum of 153 FPS, suggesting frame times are consistent enough to avoid stutter during complex simulation scenes.

Ultra settings produce the lowest frame rates across all resolutions: 264 FPS at 1080p, 171 FPS at 1440p, and 89 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is only 5 FPS lower than the 4K High result, indicating that the difference between High and Ultra settings becomes less impactful at higher resolutions, likely due to diminishing returns on visual fidelity versus GPU load.

The resolution scaling pattern points to a system that remains playable at every tested configuration. Even the most demanding scenario—4K Ultra at 89 FPS—stays comfortably above playable thresholds, while 1080p Low at 347 FPS demonstrates the system's capability to drive high-refresh-rate displays for users who prioritize frame rate over visual quality.
