Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that behaves differently from typical shooters or action games, and the benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination reflects that unique workload. The measured frames per second show a system that is massively overqualified for the task, with performance scaling that reveals more about the game's engine limitations than the hardware's capabilities. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across resolutions and settings, contextualizes the combo's rank among 3,723 tested configurations, and explains what the CPU and GPU data actually mean for this specific title.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic but not uniform across settings, which tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lies. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 408 FPS at 1920x1080 to 336 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 72 FPS, and then to 176 FPS at 3840x2160, which is a 232 FPS drop from the 1080p baseline. This steep decline indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU is being pushed harder as pixel count increases, but the sheer magnitude of the 1080p numbers suggests the CPU is holding things back at lower resolutions.

At Medium settings, the scaling pattern shifts. The average FPS goes from 359 at 1080p to 238 at 1440p, then to 124 at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K is 114 FPS, which is proportionally larger than the 121 FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p when adjusted for the pixel count difference. This suggests that at 4K Medium, the RTX 5090 is finally becoming the limiting factor, whereas at 1080p and 1440p, the Ryzen 7 7700’s single-thread performance is likely capping the frame rate.

High settings show a similar trend: 266 FPS at 1080p, 168 FPS at 1440p, and 88 FPS at 4K. The 4K High result is 33% lower than the 1440p High result, while the 1440p result is 37% lower than the 1080p result. This consistency indicates that the game scales predictably with resolution, but the absolute numbers are far beyond what any display can refresh, making the lower-resolution figures mostly academic. Ultra settings are the most demanding, with 253 FPS at 1080p, 160 FPS at 1440p, and 84 FPS at 4K.

The data shows that the limiting component changes with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU is the primary constraint, as evidenced by the relatively small FPS difference between Low (408 FPS) and Ultra (253 FPS) — only a 155 FPS spread. At 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, with the spread between Low (176 FPS) and Ultra (84 FPS) being 92 FPS, but the absolute numbers suggest the RTX 5090 is still not fully taxed by this simulation title. The 4K Ultra result of 84 FPS is the only measured scenario that approaches a typical 60 FPS display target, indicating that this game is unlikely to stress the hardware under normal usage.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination ranks 79th out of 3,723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the top 2.1% of all configurations, which is an exceptional result given the sheer number of possible hardware pairings. However, the rank is not higher because the game is not particularly demanding on either component, and many other high-end combos achieve similar frame rates due to the simulation’s engine limitations.

The individual component benchmarks provide context for this ranking. The Ryzen 7 7700 sits in the 87th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40,081. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (40,048, +0.1%), Intel Core 5 221E (40,144, -0.2%), AMD Ryzen 9 270 (40,246, -0.4%), and Intel Core i9-13905H (40,313, -0.6%). These delta percentages are tiny, meaning the 7700 is essentially tied with these other processors in synthetic workloads, which explains why the combo rank doesn’t break into the top 50 — the CPU is not a standout performer, just a solid mid-high range chip.

The RTX 5090 is in the 92nd percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 79,842. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605, +0.3%), Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (79,396, +0.6%), AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, +1.1%), and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X (80,959, -1.4%). The fact that the 5090 is only 0.3% ahead of a Tesla P100 in this benchmark suite, despite being a much newer and more powerful consumer card, reinforces that Pc Building Simulator does not leverage the GPU’s full capabilities.

The combo rank of 79 is likely held back by the CPU’s mid-pack performance relative to other top-tier processors. The 7700’s 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a 5.30 GHz boost clock is strong, but not the fastest available, and the game’s simulation logic appears to favor single-threaded performance, where the 7700’s 3dmark_single_thread score of 1,049 is good but not exceptional. The 79th rank out of 3,723 is still an excellent result, placing this combo in the top percentile of all tested systems.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS varies from 408 at Low to 253 at Ultra. The Medium preset records an average of 359 FPS with a minimum of 305 and maximum of 413. High settings average 266 FPS, and Ultra averages 253 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 155 FPS, which is significant but still leaves the lowest preset far beyond any display refresh rate.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS drops to 336 at Low, 238 at Medium, 168 at High, and 160 at Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 202 and maximum of 274. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 176 FPS, but the absolute numbers remain very high. The 1440p Ultra result of 160 FPS is still more than double the refresh rate of most gaming monitors.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS is 176 at Low, 124 at Medium, 88 at High, and 84 at Ultra. The Medium preset has a minimum of 106 and maximum of 143. The spread between Low and Ultra is 92 FPS, which is smaller than at lower resolutions, indicating that the GPU is starting to become a limiting factor. The 4K Ultra result of 84 FPS is the only measured scenario that approaches a standard 60 FPS target, though it still comfortably exceeds it.

The Medium presets are the only ones with min/max data across all resolutions. At 1080p, the min is 305 and max is 413; at 1440p, the min is 202 and max is 274; at 4K, the min is 106 and max is 143. These ranges show that frame pacing is consistent, with no extreme dips, which is typical for a simulation game that doesn’t have sudden action spikes.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 4K Medium, the average FPS is 124, which is 40 FPS higher than High (88 FPS) and 40 FPS lower than Low (176 FPS). The min FPS of 106 at 4K Medium ensures that even in the most demanding scenes, the frame rate stays above 100 FPS, which is smooth for any display.

At 1440p, Medium delivers 238 FPS average with a min of 202, which is an excellent experience for high-refresh-rate monitors. The jump from Medium to High costs 70 FPS (238 to 168), which may not be worth the visual improvement in a game that is mostly UI-driven. Low settings at 1440p yield 336 FPS, which is unnecessary for any current display, but the data shows that the game is playable at any preset.

The Ultra preset is the most demanding, with 84 FPS at 4K, 160 FPS at 1440p, and 253 FPS at 1080p. While these numbers are still playable, the difference between Ultra and High is minimal (4 FPS at 4K, 8 FPS at 1440p, 13 FPS at 1080p), suggesting that Ultra provides diminishing returns. For the best experience, Medium is recommended because it maintains high frame rates with a min FPS that never falls below 106 across all resolutions.

The data indicates that the game is not GPU-bound at Medium settings until 4K, and even then, the 124 FPS average is more than sufficient. Users with 1080p or 1440p displays should choose Medium to ensure maximum smoothness, while those with 4K displays can also use Medium without sacrificing playability. High settings are only recommended for users prioritizing visual fidelity over frame rate, but the measured differences suggest the visual upgrade is minimal.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and it includes 32 MB of shared L3 cache, with 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 64 KB of L1 cache per core.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 7700 scores 8,484 in 3dmark_16_threads and 8,479 in 3dmark_max_threads, showing that multi-threaded performance scales well with core count. The single-thread score is 1,049, which is lower than the multi-thread scores but still respectable. In cinebench_r23, the multicore score is 18,760 and the singlecore score is 1,930, indicating that the CPU excels in both threaded and single-threaded workloads.

For Pc Building Simulator, the CPU’s role is significant because the game’s simulation logic likely relies on single-threaded performance for physics and logic calculations. The 7700’s 5.30 GHz boost clock and single-thread score of 1,049 are sufficient to drive high frame rates at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the 408 FPS result at 1080p Low. However, the CPU’s performance is not the limiting factor at 4K, where the GPU takes over.

The 7700’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (0.1% faster), Intel Core 5 221E (0.2% faster), AMD Ryzen 9 270 (0.4% faster), and Intel Core i9-13905H (0.6% faster). These tiny deltas mean that the 7700 is effectively on par with these processors, and any performance differences in Pc Building Simulator are likely negligible. The CPU’s 87th percentile ranking against all CPUs confirms that it is a strong performer, but not elite, which aligns with the combo’s 79th rank out of 3,723.
