Pc Building Simulator

# Pc Building Simulator — AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

This combination of AMD's 8-core Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX 5090 D produces a benchmark dataset that reveals an interesting dynamic in Pc Building Simulator: while the GPU is clearly the dominant component at higher resolutions, the CPU's substantial L3 cache and high boost clock keep frame rates remarkably consistent across the entire settings spectrum. The measured frame data spans four settings presets at three resolutions, and the patterns within those twelve data points tell a coherent story about where this pairing excels and where it leaves performance on the table.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial but not uniform across settings, and the shape of that scaling curve reveals which component is doing the heavy lifting. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 326 FPS at 1920x1080 to 279 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 187 FPS at 3840x2160 — a total reduction of 139 FPS, or roughly 43% of the 1080p figure. This is a typical GPU-bound scaling pattern, where the RTX 5090 D's raw rasterization throughput becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises.

The Medium preset shows a similar but slightly shallower decline: 286 FPS at 1080p, 246 FPS at 1440p, and 133 FPS at 4K. The 4K figure here is notably lower than the Low preset's 187 FPS, indicating that the additional shading work at Medium settings costs more at higher resolutions. High settings follow the same trajectory: 251 FPS at 1080p, 179 FPS at 1440p, and 94 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings produce the lowest absolute numbers — 247 FPS at 1080p, 171 FPS at 1440p, and 89 FPS at 4K — but the relative drop from 1080p to 4K is only about 64%, which is the smallest percentage decline of any preset.

What this scaling pattern indicates is that Pc Building Simulator is not heavily dependent on the CPU's single-thread performance at higher resolutions. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D's boost clock of 4.50 GHz is more than sufficient to feed the RTX 5090 D at 1080p, where the GPU is still managing 326 FPS on Low. The fact that Ultra settings at 1080p (247 FPS) and High settings at 1440p (179 FPS) both remain well above 144 Hz suggests that the CPU is never the primary bottleneck in this dataset. Instead, the scaling from 1440p to 4K — where frame rates roughly halve across all settings — points squarely at the GPU's pixel throughput as the limiting factor.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this CPU+GPU pairing ranks 137th out of 3,002 tested combinations for Pc Building Simulator. That places it in the top 4.6% of all configs, which is a strong showing but not a top-tier result. The rank is somewhat surprising given the RTX 5090 D's position in the GPU percentile distribution — it sits at the 92nd percentile against all GPUs — and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D's 80th percentile against all CPUs. The gap between those component percentiles and the combo's overall rank suggests that Pc Building Simulator's engine does not scale perfectly with the most extreme hardware.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the average benchmark score table are instructive here. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D's average score of 27,896 is nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (27,887, 0% delta), the Intel Core i9-10900K (27,872, 0.1% delta), and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (27,932, -0.1% delta). This clustering within a 0.4% band indicates that the 5800X3D's performance profile is well-established, but it also means the CPU is not a differentiator in this game — any of those rivals would likely produce similar combo rankings.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5090 D's average benchmark score of 77,712 places it 1.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904) and 1.6% behind the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940). The NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants trail by 2.1% and 2.4% respectively. This tight clustering around the RTX 5090 D in the database's average scores suggests that the specific GPU model matters less than the overall class of performance, and the combo's 137th rank reflects a configuration that is strong but not uniquely optimized for this simulation title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which preset to choose based on target refresh rates. For 1080p displays, every settings preset delivers an average frame rate above 240 FPS — the lowest is Ultra at 247 FPS, and the highest is Low at 326 FPS. Even the most demanding preset at this resolution leaves substantial headroom for high-refresh monitors, so the recommendation is simply to use Ultra settings and enjoy the maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the situation remains favorable for high refresh rates. Ultra settings produce 171 FPS on average, which is still above the 144 Hz threshold for most gaming monitors. High settings deliver 179 FPS, Medium reaches 246 FPS, and Low tops out at 279 FPS. Given that the delta between Ultra and High is only 8 FPS (171 vs 179), there is little reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution unless targeting a 240 Hz display, in which case Medium at 246 FPS is the appropriate choice.

The 4K resolution presents the real trade-off. Ultra settings average 89 FPS, which is below the 90 FPS mark and may feel slightly less smooth on 120 Hz displays. High settings improve this to 94 FPS, still marginally under 100 FPS. Medium settings jump significantly to 133 FPS, which clears the 120 Hz bar comfortably. Low settings reach 187 FPS but at a substantial visual quality cost. For 4K, the data suggests Medium as the sweet spot — it offers 133 FPS average with a measured minimum of 113 FPS and maximum of 153 FPS, providing both smoothness and a meaningful quality improvement over Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the dataset includes four settings with average frame rates as follows: Low averages 326 FPS, Medium averages 286 FPS with a minimum of 243 and maximum of 329, High averages 251 FPS, and Ultra averages 247 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 79 FPS, which is the smallest absolute range across all three resolutions. Notably, the gap between High and Ultra at this resolution is only 4 FPS (251 vs 247), indicating that the Ultra preset's additional effects have minimal performance impact at 1080p.

The 2560x1440 results show a wider spread: Low averages 279 FPS, Medium averages 246 FPS with a minimum of 209 and maximum of 282, High averages 179 FPS, and Ultra averages 171 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra narrows to 8 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High costs 67 FPS. This suggests that the High preset introduces a significant rendering workload increase over Medium, but Ultra adds relatively little on top of High.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 187 FPS, Medium at 133 FPS with a minimum of 113 and maximum of 153, High at 94 FPS, and Ultra at 89 FPS. The High-to-Ultra delta remains small at 5 FPS, consistent with the pattern seen at lower resolutions. The Medium-to-High drop of 39 FPS is the largest single-step penalty in the entire dataset, highlighting that High settings at 4K impose a heavy pixel-shading burden. The minimum frame rate at 4K Medium (113 FPS) is still well above the 90 FPS threshold, confirming that this preset maintains consistent performance without severe dips.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB202 chip manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process, packing 92,200 million transistors across a 750 mm² die. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is likely a factor in the game's ability to maintain high frame rates at 4K Ultra without memory-related stuttering. The GPU's base clock of 2017 MHz and boost clock of 2407 MHz are the primary clock figures in the dataset, and the measured FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K aligns with what would be expected from these specifications.

In the benchmark database, the RTX 5090 D sits at the 92nd percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,712. Its nearest rivals in average score are the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904, 1.1% behind), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, 1.6% ahead), and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants (79,396 and 79,605, 2.1% and 2.4% ahead respectively). These deltas are small, suggesting that the RTX 5090 D's performance class is well-populated. The GPU's passmark scores show a G3D score of 44,065 and a compute score of 28,396, while its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 14,326. These figures place the GPU firmly in the high-end tier, consistent with its 92nd percentile ranking.

The 4K performance data — particularly the 133 FPS average at Medium settings — demonstrates that the RTX 5090 D has ample headroom for this simulation title. The fact that even Ultra settings at 4K manage 89 FPS on average indicates that the GPU is not being pushed to its absolute limit in this game, which is a simulation rather than a graphically intensive AAA shooter.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. Its base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 4.50 GHz are the key frequency figures, and its 96 MB of shared L3 cache is a distinctive feature that likely helps in simulation workloads. The CPU supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is modest by modern standards but sufficient for this game.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 5800X3D scores 14,317 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 1,452 in single-core, with a Geekbench multicore score of 11,765 and single-core of 2,017. Its 3DMark scores scale from 884 for single-thread to 7,299 for 16 threads, and the max-threads score of 7,285 is nearly identical to the 16-thread result, indicating that the extra threads beyond 16 do not provide additional performance. The PassMark multithread score is 28,309, and the single-thread score is 3,234.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 27,896 places it at the 80th percentile against all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (27,887), Intel Core i9-10900K (27,872), and AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (27,932). The 0% to 0.3% deltas between these scores are negligible, meaning the 5800X3D is effectively tied with those processors in average performance. Given that this CPU was released in 2022 with a launch MSRP of $449, its continued competitiveness in the database is notable.

In the context of Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (326 FPS) is high enough that the CPU is clearly not bottlenecking, and the consistent frame rates across settings at each resolution suggest that the game's simulation logic does not heavily tax the 8-core/16-thread configuration. The 96 MB L3 cache may contribute to stable minimum frame rates, as evidenced by the 4K Medium minimum of 113 FPS, but the data does not show any CPU-specific scaling patterns.
