Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a unique title: it is a simulation game where the bottleneck is often the simulated hardware logic, not the rendering pipeline. The measured data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combo reflects this, showing a configuration that is heavily over-powered for the task. The results indicate that this pair delivers exceptional frame rates across all tested resolutions, making it a top-tier performer for this specific simulation.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that is primarily bound by the CPU's simulation logic rather than the GPU's rendering capabilities. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 353.4 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 302.5 FPS, a reduction of roughly 14%. At 4K Low, the average FPS falls to 175.2, which is a significant 42% drop from the 1080p result. This steep decline as resolution increases suggests that while the GPU is starting to take on more work at higher pixel counts, the sheer headroom in the CPU's single-threaded performance is what's allowing these numbers to remain so high.

The pattern is consistent across other settings. For High settings, the FPS goes from 260.6 at 1080p to 162.5 at 1440p, and then to 86.5 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is about 38%, and from 1440p to 4K is about 47%. This indicates that at higher quality presets, the GPU's workload increases more substantially, but the system still never becomes GPU-bound in a way that creates a poor experience. The data shows that this combination is so powerful that even at 4K Ultra, it maintains an average of 81.7 FPS, proving that the limiting component is rarely the graphics card in this simulation.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows show that the most significant performance jump comes from moving between Low and Medium settings. At 1080p, the difference between Low (353.4 FPS) and Medium (316.1 FPS) is only about 11%, while the visual quality improvement is typically substantial. The gap narrows further at higher resolutions; at 4K, Low yields 175.2 FPS, while Medium yields 122.5 FPS. This suggests that the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, as the cost in FPS is relatively small compared to the jump from Medium to High.

For users with high-refresh-rate monitors, the Ultra preset is still remarkably playable. At 1440p Ultra, the combo produces 156.3 FPS, which is well above the 144Hz threshold. Even at 4K Ultra, the 81.7 FPS average is smooth for a simulation game that doesn't require twitch reflexes. The data suggests that players should not hesitate to use the Ultra preset at 1440p, as the hardware has ample overhead. At 4K, dropping from Ultra (81.7 FPS) to High (86.5 FPS) yields only a 6% performance gain, making the visual trade-off not worth it. The High preset at 4K appears to be the sweet spot if you want a slight buffer, but Ultra is entirely viable.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090's role in this game is less about raw rendering power and more about providing an immense safety margin. The GPU's specifications include a 24 GB GDDR6X memory buffer on a 384-bit bus, delivering 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. In a game like Pc Building Simulator, this massive memory pool and bandwidth are largely overkill, but they ensure that texture streaming and asset loading never cause hitches. The card's boost clock of 2520 MHz and its 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 compute are far beyond what this title requires, as evidenced by the frame rates that often exceed 300 FPS at lower resolutions.

The GPU's benchmark percentiles reinforce its position. It sits in the 91st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 66473. Interestingly, its nearest rivals in the data are professional-grade cards like the NVIDIA Tesla T4 and Tesla P40, which are not gaming-focused. The RTX 4090's score is within 0.4% of the Tesla T4, showing that its raw compute is comparable to data-center parts, but its gaming-specific optimizations are what make it shine here. The GPU's 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores are present, but their impact on this simulation is minimal, as the game likely doesn't utilize ray tracing or DLSS heavily.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 61st out of 1769 tested combos for Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the top 3.4% of all configurations tested, which is an outstanding result. The CPU itself is in the 86th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29774. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS, with the 5800XT performing within 0.3% of these chips. This indicates that the CPU is a solid, mid-to-high-tier performer, but it is not the absolute fastest available.

The fact that this combo ranks so highly despite the CPU not being the top-tier chip suggests that the RTX 4090 is carrying a significant portion of the load. The GPU's 91st percentile standing and its average score of 66473, which is far above the CPU's score, show that the graphics card is the dominant component in this pairing. The rank of 61 out of 1769 confirms that this is a high-end setup that will not struggle with any settings this game can throw at it. The delta between the CPU and its rivals is minimal, meaning that upgrading to a slightly faster processor would likely yield negligible gains in this specific title.
