# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

The pairing of AMD's Ryzen 7 5800XT with NVIDIA's RTX 2060 SUPER presents a compelling mid-range combination for Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that scales predictably across resolution and settings. The measured data reveals a system that excels at 1080p and 1440p but begins to strain at 4K Ultra, with the GPU acting as the clear bottleneck in the most demanding scenarios. The combination ranks 1308 out of 1769 tested combos, placing it in the 74th percentile of all configurations, which suggests a balanced but not top-tier setup for this particular game.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K follows a steep curve that strongly implicates the GPU as the limiting component. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 111.8 at 1920x1080 to 69.9 at 2560x1440—a 37.5% reduction—and then to 35.4 at 3840x2160, representing a 68.3% decline from the 1080p baseline. This is a classic pattern of a graphics card being overwhelmed by pixel count, as the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus width become increasingly taxed at higher resolutions.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly punishing: at Medium settings, the drop is from 98.1 to 54.9 FPS (a 44% loss), while at Low settings it falls from 139.7 to 76.5 (a 45.2% loss). Interestingly, the percentage drop is remarkably consistent across all settings when moving from 1440p to 4K, hovering around 44-45%. This uniformity suggests that the resolution increase itself—not the specific graphics settings—is the primary driver of the performance penalty, which points to fill-rate and memory bandwidth constraints rather than shader complexity.

At 1080p, the system shows headroom that indicates the CPU is not a limiting factor in most configurations. The jump from Low (226.1 FPS) to Ultra (104.8 FPS) at 1080p is a 53.6% reduction, which is substantial but still leaves the system playable at all settings. The data implies that users targeting 60 FPS can comfortably run Ultra at 1080p, while those with 144 Hz monitors should consider Medium or High for the best balance.

GPU Role

The RTX 2060 SUPER's specifications directly explain the observed scaling behavior. With a base clock of 1470 MHz and boost clock of 1650 MHz, the card delivers 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is modest by modern standards but adequate for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 14 Gbps effective provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and this figure appears to be the critical constraint at 4K resolution.

The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its mid-range positioning. It achieves a PassMark G3D score of 16462 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2011, placing it in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (avg score 19706, delta 0.3%), RTX 2070 (19680, delta 0.5%), and Quadro K5200 (19623, delta 0.8%), all of which are within 1.3% of its average benchmark score of 19774. This tight clustering indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is essentially performance-equivalent to these cards in synthetic tests, yet the measured FPS in Pc Building Simulator shows clear differentiation at higher resolutions.

The fact that the GPU's percentile rank (63) is notably lower than the CPU's (86) suggests that the graphics card is the weaker link in this pairing. This is confirmed by the resolution scaling analysis: the system loses over half its FPS from 1080p to 4K at every settings level, a pattern that would not occur if the CPU were the bottleneck. The 175 W TDP and suggested 450 W PSU indicate this is a power-efficient card for its performance class, but it simply lacks the raw throughput for 4K Ultra gaming.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination ranks 1308 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the 74th percentile of all configurations. This is a respectable position, but it reveals that the RTX 2060 SUPER holds the system back from higher rankings. The CPU alone scores in the 86th percentile of all processors, meaning the Ryzen 7 5800XT is capable of supporting faster graphics cards without becoming a bottleneck.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 19774 places it just 0.3% ahead of the GTX TITAN and 0.5% behind the RTX 2070, which suggests that swapping to a slightly faster card could improve the combo's ranking significantly. The data indicates that this ranking is largely GPU-bound, as the CPU's nearest rivals—the Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE (delta 0.1%), Ryzen 7 6800HS (delta -0.3%), and Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (delta 0.3%)—all perform within 0.3% of the 5800XT's average score of 29774.

For a simulation title that is not heavily threaded, the 5800XT's 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample processing power. The ranking suggests that users with this combo should not expect top-tier performance in Pc Building Simulator at 4K, but the system is well-positioned for 1080p and 1440p gaming where it can leverage the CPU's strength.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver 104.8 FPS, which is sufficient for 60 Hz displays and comfortably playable even on 100 Hz panels. However, for 144 Hz monitors, High settings at 111.8 FPS or Medium at 158 FPS would be better choices—the latter offering nearly 50% more FPS than Ultra while maintaining good visual quality.

At 2560x1440, the situation changes. High settings produce 69.9 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold, while Medium yields 98.1 FPS for smoother gameplay. Ultra drops to 68.6 FPS, which is virtually identical to High, suggesting that the additional settings headroom provides minimal benefit at this resolution. Low settings at 139.7 FPS are viable for competitive play but sacrifice too much visual fidelity for most users.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain 60 FPS at any settings. High produces 35.4 FPS, Medium 54.9 FPS, and Ultra 33.8 FPS—all below the standard 60 FPS target. Low settings at 76.5 FPS are the only option for smooth 4K gameplay, but this requires significant visual compromises. The data strongly suggests that 4K should be avoided for this combo in Pc Building Simulator unless users are willing to drop to Low settings.

The best overall experience appears to be 1440p Medium or High, which balances visual quality with playable frame rates. For 1080p users, High settings offer an excellent 111.8 FPS, while Medium at 158 FPS is ideal for high-refresh-rate displays.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest performance. Low settings produce an average of 226.1 FPS, Medium 158 FPS, High 111.8 FPS, and Ultra 104.8 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is only 6.3%, indicating diminishing returns from the highest settings tier at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 139.7 FPS (Low), 98.1 FPS (Medium), 69.9 FPS (High), and 68.6 FPS (Ultra). The transition from High to Ultra yields a mere 1.9% improvement in FPS, which is negligible and suggests that Ultra settings at 1440p are not worth the visual cost for this GPU.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops sharply: 76.5 FPS (Low), 54.9 FPS (Medium), 35.4 FPS (High), and 33.8 FPS (Ultra). The spread between Low and Ultra is 55.8%, which is significantly larger than at lower resolutions, confirming that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K. The data shows that the RTX 2060 SUPER can handle 4K only at Low settings, and even then, the 76.5 FPS average is barely above the 60 FPS threshold.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is a Zen 3 architecture processor built on TSMC's 7 nm process, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.80 GHz. Its benchmark scores are impressive: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 23794, single-core 3359, and 3DMark 16-thread scores 7683. The processor ranks in the 86th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29774.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with enough data to maintain high frame rates. At 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 226.1 FPS, which is well within the CPU's capabilities. The 5800XT's nearest rivals—the Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE (delta 0.1%) and Ryzen 7 6800HS (delta -0.3%)—show that this CPU is at the top of its performance class, and the data indicates it is not a bottleneck at any resolution tested.

The 32 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are more than sufficient for a simulation game, which typically doesn't require the extreme memory throughput of first-person shooters. The CPU's 105 W TDP and AM4 socket compatibility make it a sensible choice for this GPU, though the 5800XT's strength suggests users could pair it with a more powerful graphics card without experiencing CPU limitations.
