FAQ

Q: What is the best average FPS this combo achieves at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches an average of 220 FPS, which is the highest recorded frame rate in the dataset. High settings still deliver 110 FPS, while Medium and Ultra produce 156 FPS and 105 FPS respectively.

Q: How does the combo perform at 2560x1440 compared to 1080p?

A: At 1440p, the average FPS drops significantly from the 1080p results. For example, High settings fall from 110 FPS at 1080p to 69 FPS at 1440p, and Low settings drop from 220 FPS to 139 FPS. This indicates a substantial performance cost when moving to a higher resolution.

Q: Is this combination capable of 4K gaming?

A: The data shows it is not ideal for 4K. At 3840x2160, the highest average FPS is 72 on Low settings, but High and Ultra settings drop to 36 FPS and 35 FPS respectively. Medium settings at 4K produce 51 FPS, which is the only 4K result above 60 FPS.

Q: What is the measured frame time consistency at Medium settings?

A: The dataset includes min and max FPS only for Medium settings. At 1080p Medium, the range is 132 to 179 FPS, at 1440p Medium it is 84 to 113 FPS, and at 4K Medium it is 44 to 59 FPS. This provides a window into frame pacing, with the 4K result showing significant dips below the average.

Q: How does the CPU's multi-threaded performance compare to its single-threaded performance?

A: The Ryzen 7 5800XT scores 23,794 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, which is far higher than its 3,359 in single-core. Similarly, 3DMark shows 7,683 for 16 threads versus 959 for a single thread. This indicates strong multi-threading capability, though the game's performance is likely more dependent on the GPU.

Q: What is the GPU's benchmark percentile and its nearest rival?

A: The Radeon RX 5700 XT has a percentile rank of 59 among all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M, which has an average score of 16,351, placing it just 0.1% behind the RX 5700 XT's 16,361 average.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT ranks 2769 out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the lower-middle portion of all possible pairings, indicating that while it is not a top-tier configuration, it is also far from the bottom. The percentile ranking for the GPU is 59, suggesting it is slightly above average compared to all GPUs, but the specific game results show that the pairing is held back by the GPU's limits at higher resolutions.

The rank of 2769 out of 3723 means roughly 74% of all tested combos perform better in this game. This is a meaningful data point, but the measured FPS reveals more nuance. The combo is clearly capable of high frame rates at 1080p, with the 220 FPS Low result being exceptional. However, the ranking suggests that many other configurations achieve even higher performance, likely due to more powerful GPUs. The CPU's percentile rank is 81, which is strong, but the combo's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU's mid-range standing. This suggests that in Pc Building Simulator, the GPU is the primary bottleneck for this specific pairing, as the CPU has ample headroom based on its own benchmarks.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1605 MHz, with a game clock of 1755 MHz and a boost clock of 1905 MHz. These specifications place it as a mid-range GPU from the RDNA 1.0 architecture, and the measured FPS data confirms its behavior in this game.

The GPU's role becomes clear when examining the FPS scaling across resolutions. At 1080p, the GPU is able to push very high frame rates, but the performance drop from 1080p to 1440p is steep. For example, High settings drop from 110 FPS to 69 FPS, a 37% reduction. This points to the GPU being heavily utilized, and the 8 GB VRAM and bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p but become a limiting factor as resolution increases. At 4K, the GPU is clearly overwhelmed, with Ultra settings producing just 35 FPS. The 4K Medium result of 51 FPS with a minimum of 44 FPS shows that the GPU is struggling to maintain consistent frame times, as the gap between average and minimum is 7 FPS.

The GPU's benchmarks reinforce this. Its Passmark G3D score is 16,277, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad score is 2,134. These are moderate scores, and the GPU's percentile of 59 indicates it is not a high-end part. In this game, the RX 5700 XT is the limiting component at 1440p and 4K, as the CPU's benchmarks suggest it has more headroom to spare.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers excellent results: Low settings average 220 FPS, Medium averages 156 FPS with a range of 132-179, High averages 110 FPS, and Ultra averages 105 FPS. These numbers show that the combo is more than capable of smooth gameplay at 1080p, with even Ultra settings staying well above 100 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably. Low settings average 139 FPS, Medium averages 98 FPS with a range of 84-113, High averages 69 FPS, and Ultra averages 66 FPS. The 1440p results are still playable, but the gap between Low and Ultra is significant, with Ultra being nearly half the frame rate of Low. At 3840x2160, the combo struggles. Low settings average 72 FPS, Medium averages 51 FPS with a range of 44-59, High averages 36 FPS, and Ultra averages 35 FPS. The 4K results show that this resolution is not suitable for this pairing, as even Low settings barely maintain 72 FPS, and High and Ultra are below 40 FPS.

The data also shows that the gap between High and Ultra is minimal at all resolutions. At 1080p, High is 110 FPS and Ultra is 105 FPS, a difference of only 5 FPS. At 1440p, the difference is 3 FPS (69 vs 66), and at 4K it is 1 FPS (36 vs 35). This suggests that the Ultra preset offers little visual benefit over High for a significant performance cost, which is important for settings recommendations.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the bottleneck clearly. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 220 at 1080p to 139 at 1440p (a 37% decrease), and then to 72 at 4K (a 48% further decrease from 1440p). This indicates a massive performance hit as resolution increases. At High settings, the same pattern holds: 110 FPS at 1080p, 69 FPS at 1440p, and 36 FPS at 4K. The 4K result is roughly one-third of the 1080p result, showing that the GPU is the limiting factor.

The scaling is not linear, and the steep drops between 1440p and 4K are particularly telling. For example, Medium settings go from 98 FPS at 1440p to 51 FPS at 4K, a 48% reduction. This suggests that the RX 5700 XT's 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for 4K textures and pixel counts. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is unlikely to be the bottleneck here, as its multi-threaded scores are high (23,794 in Cinebench R23), but the game's simulation nature may not stress it heavily.

The data shows that the combo is best suited for 1080p, where it can maintain high frame rates across all settings. At 1440p, it is still viable, but users must drop to Medium settings to stay above 90 FPS. At 4K, the performance is too low for a smooth experience, with only Low settings reaching 72 FPS, which is still below the 100+ FPS ideal for many players. This scaling behavior is classic GPU-bound behavior, confirming that the RX 5700 XT is the primary constraint.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is a 5000 series processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 3 architecture (codename Vermeer). It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with a TDP of 105 W. Its cache configuration includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. The CPU's benchmarks show strong performance: Cinebench R23 scores are 23,794 multi-core and 3,359 single-core, while 3DMark 16-thread score is 7,683 and single-thread is 959.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU, based on the FPS data. The CPU's percentile rank is 81, indicating it is in the top 20% of all CPUs, yet the combo's rank is only 2769 out of 3723. This discrepancy suggests that the game is not CPU-bound for this pairing. The CPU's high multi-threaded score of 23,794 in Cinebench R23 implies it can handle complex simulation tasks, but the game's FPS is clearly limited by the GPU at higher resolutions.

The CPU's single-thread performance of 3,359 in Cinebench R23 is also strong, which is relevant for games that rely on single-core performance. However, the measured FPS at 1080p Low (220 FPS) is likely near the CPU's limit, but the dramatic drops at 1440p and 4K indicate that the GPU is the bottleneck. The CPU has 16 threads and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. This is more than sufficient for the game, as the GPU's 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is far higher. Overall, the CPU provides ample headroom, and the data suggests that upgrading the GPU would yield larger FPS gains than upgrading the CPU.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the best experience depends on the target resolution. For 1080p, the data shows that Ultra settings (105 FPS) are nearly as fast as High (110 FPS), with only a 5 FPS difference. This makes Ultra the recommended preset for 1080p, as it offers the highest visual quality without a significant performance penalty. The 105 FPS result is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

For 1440p, the recommendation shifts to Medium settings, which average 98 FPS with a range of 84-113. High settings at 1440p drop to 69 FPS, and Ultra to 66 FPS, which are still playable but not ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings provide a good balance, with the minimum of 84 FPS indicating that frame dips are kept above 80 FPS. Low settings at 1440p (139 FPS) offer higher performance but at a significant visual cost, so Medium is the sweet spot.

For 4K, the data suggests that this combo is not suited for high settings. Low settings average 72 FPS, which is playable, but Medium drops to 51 FPS with a minimum of 44 FPS, indicating potential stuttering. High and Ultra are below 40 FPS and should be avoided. Therefore, the only viable option for 4K is Low settings, but even then, the 72 FPS average may not be smooth enough for all users. Given the data, the best overall experience is at 1080p with Ultra settings, where the combo achieves 105 FPS and the CPU's strong performance ensures a stable experience. At 1440p, Medium is recommended to stay above 90 FPS, while 4K should be reserved for Low settings and only if visual fidelity is not a priority.
