Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that tasks players with assembling and troubleshooting PCs, and its performance profile with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 reveals a configuration that scales predictably with resolution and settings. The measured data shows a combination that is capable of high refresh rate play at 1080p but becomes increasingly constrained as resolution climbs, with the GPU emerging as the primary bottleneck in the most demanding scenarios.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 provides a clear picture of how this combo behaves under increasing pixel load. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 237 FPS at 1080p to 149 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 88 FPS, and then further to 78 FPS at 4K, which is a 67% decrease from the 1080p figure. This steep decline indicates that even at the lowest graphical preset, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 is being pushed hard by the pixel count, as the simulation's rendering workload scales significantly with resolution.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings. For High settings, the average FPS goes from 118 at 1080p to 75 at 1440p, then down to 39 at 4K. The 4K High result of 39 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold that many users consider the baseline for smooth play, suggesting that this resolution is not viable for a consistent experience on this preset. Medium settings show a similar trajectory, with averages of 168 FPS at 1080p, 106 FPS at 1440p, and 55 FPS at 4K. The 4K Medium average of 55 FPS, with a minimum of 47 FPS, shows that while playable, there are noticeable dips that could impact the simulation's interactive feel.

Ultra settings follow the same curve, starting at 113 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 71 FPS at 1440p, and falling to 37 FPS at 4K. The fact that the difference between 1080p and 1440p is roughly 40 FPS on average across all settings, while the jump from 1440p to 4K results in a 36-71 FPS drop, indicates that the RTX 5050's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are being saturated at the higher resolutions. The performance loss from 1080p to 4K is substantial at every quality level, which points to the GPU being the limiting component. The CPU's role is less pronounced here because the frame rates at 1080p, particularly at Low settings with 237 FPS, are high enough to suggest that the processor is not holding back the graphics card in a significant way.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1920x1080, the High preset delivers an average of 118 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS standard and suitable for high refresh rate monitors. The Ultra preset at this resolution only yields 113 FPS, a marginal 5 FPS improvement over High, making the extra graphical fidelity not worth the slight performance cost. The Low preset at 237 FPS is excessive for most displays, so High is the recommended choice for a balance of visual quality and speed.

At 2560x1440, the High preset provides an average of 75 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for 144Hz displays. The Medium preset offers 106 FPS, a substantial increase over High, and the minimum of 90 FPS ensures a smoother experience. For users with a 144Hz monitor, Medium is the better option, as it maintains a frame rate that is closer to the display's refresh rate. The Ultra preset at 71 FPS is slightly lower than High, so it is not recommended over the High setting for this resolution.

For 3840x2160, the data indicates that no preset achieves a consistent 60 FPS. The Medium preset has the highest average at 55 FPS, but its minimum of 47 FPS means there will be noticeable stutters during intense scenes. The High preset at 39 FPS and Ultra at 37 FPS are below the playable threshold for most users. The Low preset at 78 FPS is the only way to achieve smooth performance at 4K, but it requires a significant reduction in visual quality. Given these numbers, 4K gaming with this combo is only viable at Low settings, while 1440p Medium and 1080p High offer the best balance of visuals and performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured data shows a clear hierarchy across settings. Low settings produce an average of 237 FPS, which is the highest recorded for this combo.
