# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers exceptional performance in Pc Building Simulator, placing at rank 248 out of 3,723 tested combos. The measured frame rates across all resolutions and settings presets reveal a system that handles this simulation title with substantial headroom, though the scaling patterns indicate where the workload becomes more demanding on each component.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K shows how Pc Building Simulator responds to pixel count increases with this hardware. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 251 at 1920x1080 to 164 at 2560x1440, then to 86 at 3840x2160. That represents a 34.7% reduction when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 47.6% reduction when stepping up to 4K. The 4K High result at 86 FPS remains comfortably playable, but the scaling curve suggests the GPU is becoming the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

Low settings tell a similar story with higher absolute numbers. The system achieves 326 FPS at 1080p Low, drops to 279 FPS at 1440p Low, and settles at 171 FPS for 4K Low. The percentage drops are 14.4% from 1080p to 1440p and 38.7% from 1440p to 4K. Notably, the relative drop from 1440p to 4K is smaller at Low settings than at High settings, which indicates that the additional GPU workload from higher quality presets amplifies the resolution penalty.

At Medium settings, the measured minimum and maximum frame rates provide additional context. The 4K Medium result shows an average of 121 FPS with a minimum of 103 and maximum of 140. The 1440p Medium average is 232 FPS with a range of 197 to 267. The 1080p Medium average reaches 286 FPS with minimum 243 and maximum 329. The spread between minimum and maximum FPS narrows as resolution increases, suggesting that frame time consistency improves when the GPU is more fully utilized.

Ultra settings produce the lowest frame rates across all resolutions. The 4K Ultra average is 82 FPS, which is the only measured result below the 90 FPS threshold. At 1440p Ultra, the average rises to 156 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra it reaches 247 FPS. The jump from 4K Ultra to 1440p Ultra represents an 90.2% improvement, while the jump from 1440p Ultra to 1080p Ultra is a 58.3% gain. This indicates that Ultra settings at 4K place the heaviest load on the GPU, while lower resolutions allow the CPU to keep pace more easily.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 brings substantial resources to Pc Building Simulator. Its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus provides 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for a simulation title that manages many system components. The GPU's 16,384 shading units and 512 texture mapping units handle the game's interface rendering and 3D component previews without difficulty.

Clock behavior plays a role in the measured results. The base clock of 2235 MHz and boost clock of 2520 MHz represent the operational range, and the GPU's Ada Lovelace architecture with 128 ray tracing cores and 512 tensor cores provides headroom beyond what this game requires. The 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance means the GPU is rarely the bottleneck, even at 4K Ultra where the average FPS remains at 82.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 88 versus all GPUs and average benchmark score of 60,347 place it near the top of the performance spectrum. Its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Arc Pro A60 with a deltaPct of 0, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 at 0.3% higher, and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 2.5% lower. These comparisons show that the RTX 4090's synthetic scores are consistent with its class-leading position, though the measured game results demonstrate that Pc Building Simulator does not fully stress the GPU's capabilities.

The 4K Ultra result of 82 FPS is the only sub-90 FPS measurement in the entire data set. This indicates that the GPU can deliver high frame rates even under maximum load, but the game's simulation logic and CPU interaction become more prominent at lower resolutions. The 24 GB memory capacity exceeds any possible requirement for this title, leaving ample headroom for texture data and scene complexity.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 248 out of 3,723 total tested combinations places this system in the upper echelon of configurations for Pc Building Simulator. This ranking reflects the combined capabilities of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, both of which are high-end components in their respective categories.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 shows a deltaPct of -0.1, meaning it scores marginally higher. These narrow margins in synthetic benchmarks do not translate to meaningful differences in Pc Building Simulator's measured performance.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 88 versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 60,347, is similarly strong. The nearest rival comparisons show the Intel Arc Pro A60 at a deltaPct of 0, AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 at 0.3% higher, AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 2.5% lower, and AMD Radeon PRO V710 at 2.9% higher. These are professional-oriented GPUs that do not directly compete with the RTX 4090 in gaming workloads, but the synthetic scores provide context for the GPU's overall capability.

Being in the top 6.7% of all tested combos means that the vast majority of systems cannot match the frame rates this configuration achieves. The combination of a high-core-count CPU with large L3 cache and a flagship GPU ensures that neither component becomes a limiting factor in this simulation title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system produces its highest frame rates. Low settings yield an average of 326 FPS, Medium produces 286 FPS with a range of 243 to 329, High achieves 251 FPS, and Ultra reaches 247 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 1080p is minimal at just 4 FPS, suggesting that the CPU's processing of simulation logic becomes the limiting factor at this resolution.

The 2560x1440 results show a clear step down from 1080p. Low settings average 279 FPS, Medium averages 232 FPS with a range of 197 to 267, High averages 164 FPS, and Ultra averages 156 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra narrows slightly to 8 FPS, while the gap between Low and Medium is 47 FPS, indicating that the Medium preset introduces significant additional GPU work compared to Low.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop more substantially. Low settings still manage 171 FPS, Medium averages 121 FPS with a range of 103 to 140, High averages 86 FPS, and Ultra averages 82 FPS. The 4K results show the largest spread between presets: Low to Medium is a 50 FPS difference, Medium to High is 35 FPS, and High to Ultra is just 4 FPS. This pattern suggests that the Ultra preset at 4K is pushing the GPU near its limits, while the High and Ultra presets produce nearly identical results.

The minimum FPS values recorded only for Medium settings show that 4K has the lowest floor at 103 FPS, while 1440p bottoms out at 197 FPS and 1080p at 243 FPS. These minimums are all well above playable thresholds, indicating stable performance without significant frame drops.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K displays, the Medium preset at 121 FPS average with a 103 FPS minimum offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. The High preset at 86 FPS is still playable, but the 35 FPS drop from Medium to High is substantial. The Ultra preset at 82 FPS provides only marginal visual improvements over High while delivering the lowest frame rates in the entire data set. Low settings at 171 FPS are smooth but sacrifice too much visual fidelity for the additional frame rate.

For 1440p displays, the High preset at 164 FPS provides excellent visual quality with frame rates well above any display's refresh rate. The Ultra preset at 156 FPS is nearly identical in performance and may be preferred if the visual differences are noticeable. Medium at 232 FPS offers a large margin for high-refresh-rate displays, while Low at 279 FPS is only useful for extreme refresh rates or competitive play.

For 1080p displays, the Ultra preset at 247 FPS is the recommended choice, as it delivers the highest visual quality with only a 4 FPS penalty compared to High at 251 FPS. The Medium preset at 286 FPS and Low at 326 FPS provide diminishing returns for most users, as the Ultra and High presets already exceed the refresh rates of virtually all monitors. The 1080p results show that the system is CPU-bound at this resolution, so increasing GPU load through higher settings has minimal impact on frame rate.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 4.50 GHz. This Vermeer-codename processor features 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is exceptionally large and beneficial for simulation games that frequently access the same data. The 7 nm process node from TSMC houses 8,850 million transistors on a 74 mm² die.

The CPU's benchmark results demonstrate strong multi-threaded performance. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14,317 and single-core score of 1,452 indicate balanced capability. The 3DMark scores show scaling from 1,746 at 2 threads to 7,299 at 16 threads, with 8 threads reaching 5,906. The Passmark multi-thread score of 28,309 and single-thread score of 3,234 further confirm the CPU's capabilities.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. The 1080p results show minimal differences between High and Ultra presets (251 vs 247 FPS), suggesting that the CPU's simulation logic processing, rather than GPU rendering, limits frame rates at this resolution. The large L3 cache helps maintain consistent performance when the game accesses component data and system state information.

The CPU's memory support for DDR4 with dual-channel configuration provides 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The PCIe Gen 4 interface with 20 lanes offers sufficient bandwidth for the GPU and storage devices. The 105 W TDP and AMD Socket AM4 compatibility make this a straightforward component for system integration, though its end-of-life production status means it is no longer in active manufacturing.
