Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers a commanding performance profile in Pc Building Simulator, a Simulation title released in 2019. The benchmark data shows a combination that is heavily GPU-limited at high resolutions, yet reveals surprising CPU headroom at lower settings, resulting in a top-tier ranking among 1769 tested combos.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop reveals the workload's nature. At 1080p with High settings, the combo produces an average of 183.1 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same settings, the average drops to 114.8 FPS, a reduction of roughly 37%. The jump to 4K at High settings yields 62.3 FPS, which is about 46% lower than the 1440p result and only 34% of the 1080p score.

This steep decline is the signature of a GPU-bound scenario. The RTX 3080 Ti's rendering workload scales directly with pixel count, and the data confirms that the graphics card is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is substantial, but the 1440p-to-4K transition is even more punishing, indicating that the 4K resolution pushes the GPU to its absolute limits.

However, the scaling behavior changes dramatically when settings are lowered. At 1080p with Low settings, the average FPS skyrockets to 355, a figure that is 94% higher than the 1080p High result. This massive jump suggests that at low settings and 1080p, the burden shifts away from the GPU, and the system approaches a CPU-limited ceiling. The 1440p Low result of 229.2 FPS further supports this, as it is still extremely high, but lower than the 1080p Low figure, showing the GPU is still contributing significantly even at low settings.

The Ultra preset tells a similar story to High but with lower absolute numbers. At 1080p Ultra, the combo hits 173 FPS, which drops to 107.7 FPS at 1440p and plummets to 59.6 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is particularly telling; it is the lowest recorded score in the entire dataset, and it is below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider the baseline for smooth gameplay. This indicates that while the combo is exceptionally fast, 4K Ultra is a bridge too far for this particular GPU in this simulation title.

The data also shows that the difference between High and Ultra settings is relatively small at any given resolution, which is unusual. At 4K, High yields 62.3 FPS and Ultra yields 59.6 FPS, a difference of only 2.7 FPS. This narrow gap suggests that the Ultra preset adds minimal extra load compared to High, or that the GPU is so saturated at 4K that the extra settings have little impact on the final frame rate.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain why it performs so well in Pc Building Simulator. The card is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA102 chip, fabricated on Samsung's 8 nm process. It carries 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, yielding a massive memory bandwidth of 912.4 GB/s. For a simulation game that likely involves significant asset loading and scene complexity, this bandwidth is a critical asset.

The GPU's clock behavior shows a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz. These clocks are not particularly high in absolute terms, but the card compensates with raw compute resources. It features 10240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output units. This configuration allows for a pixel rate of 186.5 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 532.8 GTexel/s, which are the metrics that directly drive the FPS numbers observed at high resolutions.

The card's FP32 performance is rated at 34.10 TFLOPS, and its FP16 performance is identical at 34.10 TFLOPS, indicating a 1:1 ratio. This level of compute throughput is more than sufficient for a simulation game, which often has complex physics calculations and object interactions. The benchmark results support this, as the GPU scores 26896 in Passmark's G3D test and 191309 in Geekbench's OpenCL test.

The GPU's percentile ranking against all GPUs is 83, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of graphics cards in the database. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which has an average score of 41441, and the RTX 3080 Ti's average is 41224. The deltaPct values show that the RTX 3080 Ti is only 0.5% behind the RTX 3090, a negligible difference in real-world terms. It also trails the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 by 0.9% and the RTX 5070 by 1.1%, placing it in a tightly contested performance tier.

In the context of this game, the 12 GB VRAM capacity is likely a non-issue at the tested settings, as the lowest FPS at 4K Ultra is still 59.6, suggesting the card is not running out of memory. The GPU's end-of-life production status is noteworthy, but its benchmark data shows it remains highly competitive, particularly when paired with a strong CPU.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT plays a supporting but essential role in this combo, especially at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not the bottleneck. This CPU is part of the 5000 series, based on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename, and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm process. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are strong, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23794 and its Passmark multithread score of 27988. Its single-thread performance is also respectable, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3359. These scores indicate that the CPU can handle the game's logic and simulation threads without becoming a limiting factor in most scenarios.

However, the data suggests that the CPU's ceiling is reached at 1080p Low settings. The 355 FPS average at this setting is likely close to the maximum frame rate the CPU can feed to the GPU, as the 1440p Low result of 229.2 FPS is significantly lower, indicating the GPU is taking over the workload. This is a classic sign of a balanced system where the CPU is fast enough to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at typical gaming resolutions, but the GPU eventually becomes the constraint.

The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a 32 MB L3 cache. This large L3 cache is beneficial for simulation games that may have large working sets of data. The CPU also supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, which is adequate for feeding the GPU with data.

The Ryzen 7 5800XT's percentile ranking against all CPUs is 86, which is slightly higher than the GPU's percentile. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE, which is 0.1% faster, and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS, which is 0.3% faster. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is 0.3% slower, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H is 0.3% slower. This places the 5800XT in a tight cluster of similarly performing CPUs, making its specific choice unlikely to have a dramatic impact on gaming performance compared to its immediate competitors.

The CPU's role is further clarified by the fact that it was released in 2024, well after the game's 2019 release, meaning it is more than capable of handling the game's CPU demands. The data shows no evidence of CPU bottlenecking until the frame rates reach extreme levels, which confirms its 8-core design and high boost clock.
