# Pc Building Simulator — AMD Ryzen 7 7700X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D produces exceptional frame rates in Pc Building Simulator, with the measured data showing this pairing ranks 23rd out of 3,002 tested CPU-GPU combos in this title. The Ryzen 7 7700X, an 8-core 16-thread Zen 4 part from the 7000 series, and the RTX 5090 D, a Blackwell 2.0 GPU with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, deliver performance that ranges from 89 FPS at 4K Ultra to 421 FPS at 1080p Low. The benchmark results indicate that this system is heavily overqualified for the simulation genre, with even the most demanding settings producing triple-digit frame rates at every resolution tested.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for this combination shows a clear hierarchy across the four tested presets: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. At every resolution, the Low preset delivers the highest average frame rate, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra producing the lowest averages. The gap between presets is substantial but not uniform across resolutions.

At 1080p, the Low preset produces 421 FPS, Medium drops to 370 FPS, High falls to 284 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 270 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 151 FPS, representing a 35.9% reduction in frame rate when moving from the lowest to the highest quality settings. The Medium preset at 370 FPS sits much closer to Low than to High, suggesting that the visual quality jump from Low to Medium carries a relatively modest 51 FPS penalty. The larger step occurs between Medium and High, where the frame rate drops by 86 FPS, indicating that High settings introduce significantly more rendering work.

At 1440p, the pattern shifts slightly. Low produces 358 FPS, Medium delivers 254 FPS, High achieves 179 FPS, and Ultra yields 171 FPS. The Low-to-Ultra gap widens to 187 FPS, a 52.2% reduction. The Medium-to-High step again shows the largest single-preset decline at 75 FPS. Notably, the High-to-Ultra difference at 1440p is only 8 FPS (179 to 171), which suggests diminishing returns in quality investment at this resolution.

At 4K, the data shows Low at 187 FPS, Medium at 133 FPS, High at 94 FPS, and Ultra at 89 FPS. The Low-to-Ultra reduction is 98 FPS, a 52.4% drop. The High-to-Ultra gap remains small at just 5 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K includes the only min/max data points in the entire measured set: a minimum of 113 FPS and a maximum of 153 FPS.

For the best experience per the measured rows, the Medium preset at 1440p offers the strongest balance. The 254 FPS average with a 216 FPS minimum and 292 FPS maximum provides smooth, consistent performance while maintaining a reasonable visual quality step above Low. At 4K, Medium at 133 FPS is the recommended choice for users prioritizing higher resolutions, as it stays comfortably above the 100 FPS threshold while the jump to High costs an additional 39 FPS for what the data suggests is a modest visual improvement. For maximum smoothness on high-refresh displays, the Low preset at 1440p delivers 358 FPS, which is ideal for 360 Hz panels.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain why the measured frame rates are so high. The GPU features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective transfer rate. The GPU's base clock is 2017 MHz, with a boost clock of 2407 MHz.

Under the hood, the RTX 5090 D contains 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 render output units. It also includes 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores. The pixel rate is 423.6 GPixel/s, and the texture rate reaches 1,636.8 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is rated at 104.8 TFLOPS, with FP16 at the same 104.8 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio). The GPU is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is clearly secondary to the CPU given the genre's nature, but the RTX 5090 D still drives the frame rate differences between presets. The measured FPS data shows that at 4K Ultra, the system produces 89 FPS, which is the lowest measured average across all configurations. At 1080p Low, the system hits 421 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows the GPU's workload increasing as settings rise.

The GPU's VRAM capacity of 32 GB is more than sufficient for this simulation game, which is unlikely to approach even a fraction of that allocation at any preset. The 512-bit bus and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth ensure that memory bandwidth is never a bottleneck, even at 4K resolution with Ultra settings. The boost clock of 2407 MHz provides the raw compute throughput needed for the high frame rates observed, though the simulation's relatively simple rendering pipeline means the GPU is rarely stretched to its limits.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination spans three resolutions and four settings presets, producing 12 distinct data points. The 1080p resolution shows the highest overall frame rates, with the Low preset achieving 421 FPS, Medium at 370 FPS (minimum 315, maximum 426), High at 284 FPS, and Ultra at 270 FPS. At 1080p, the difference between the fastest and slowest preset is 151 FPS, and even the Ultra preset maintains a 270 FPS average that exceeds the refresh rates of most gaming monitors.

At 1440p, the results remain highly playable across all presets. Low delivers 358 FPS, Medium produces 254 FPS (minimum 216, maximum 292), High reaches 179 FPS, and Ultra achieves 171 FPS. The 1440p Medium preset's min/max range of 216 to 292 FPS shows a 76 FPS spread, which is the largest variance recorded in the entire dataset. The 1440p High-to-Ultra step is minimal at just 8 FPS, suggesting that these two presets impose nearly identical rendering loads on this hardware.

At 4K, the frame rates drop significantly but remain respectable. Low produces 187 FPS, Medium delivers 133 FPS (minimum 113, maximum 153), High achieves 94 FPS, and Ultra yields 89 FPS. The 4K Medium preset has a 40 FPS min-to-max spread, which is proportionally similar to the 1440p Medium variance. The 4K High-to-Ultra difference is just 5 FPS, reinforcing the pattern seen at 1440p where the top two presets perform nearly identically.

Comparing across resolutions, the 1080p Low to 4K Low transition shows a drop from 421 to 187 FPS, a 55.6% reduction. The 1440p Low to 4K Low step goes from 358 to 187 FPS, a 47.8% reduction. The 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra transition drops from 270 to 89 FPS, a 67.0% reduction.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X serves as the central processor in this combination, and its specifications are well-matched to the demands of Pc Building Simulator. The CPU features 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The base clock is 4.50 GHz with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, and the TDP is rated at 105 W. The CPU uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform and supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration, providing 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU also supports ECC memory and includes integrated Radeon Graphics. The PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 24 lanes available from the CPU. The Ryzen 7 7700X has a launch MSRP of $399 and was released in September 2022.

In benchmark tests, the 7700X demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 19,088 and a single-core score of 1,987. The 3DMark tests show scores of 8,859 for 16 threads, 7,057 for 8 threads, 4,074 for 4 threads, 2,112 for 2 threads, and 1,090 for single-thread. The Geekbench scores are 12,451 multicore and 2,289 single-core. PassMark tests show a multithreaded score of 35,686 and a single-thread score of 4,190.

For Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is significant because simulation games typically rely heavily on processor performance for game logic, component interaction calculations, and system state updates. The 16 threads provide ample parallelism for these tasks, and the high boost clock of 5.40 GHz ensures strong single-thread responsiveness. The measured frame rates, particularly at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed, indicate that the 7700X is capable of feeding the RTX 5090 D without becoming a bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the 421 FPS result suggests the CPU can sustain very high frame rates when the GPU workload is minimal.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how this combination scales across the three tested resolutions: 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. The scaling pattern differs by settings preset, providing insight into which component becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases.

For the Low preset, the frame rates drop from 421 FPS at 1080p to 358 FPS at 1440p (a 15.0% reduction) and then to 187 FPS at 4K (a 47.8% reduction from 1440p and 55.6% from 1080p). The 1080p-to-1440p step is relatively modest, suggesting that the CPU is the primary limiter at these lower resolutions and frame rates. The larger 1440p-to-4K drop indicates the GPU becomes increasingly involved as pixel count rises.

The Medium preset shows a similar pattern: 370 FPS at 1080p, 254 FPS at 1440p (a 31.4% reduction), and 133 FPS at 4K (a 47.6% reduction from 1440p and 64.1% from 1080p). The High preset drops from 284 FPS at 1080p to 179 FPS at 1440p (37.0% reduction) and then to 94 FPS at 4K (47.5% reduction from 1440p and 66.9% from 1080p). The Ultra preset goes from 270 FPS at 1080p to 171 FPS at 1440p (36.7% reduction) and then to 89 FPS at 4K (48.0% reduction from 1440p and 67.0% from 1080p).

Across all presets, the 1080p-to-1440p reduction ranges from 15.0% (Low) to 37.0% (High), while the 1440p-to-4K reduction is much more consistent, ranging from 47.5% to 48.0%. This consistency in the higher resolution step indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at 4K regardless of settings preset. The varying 1080p-to-1440p reductions suggest that at lower resolutions, the CPU's frame rate ceiling becomes the bottleneck, particularly at the Low preset where 421 FPS is likely near the CPU's maximum sustainable throughput for this game.

The data shows that the RTX 5090 D handles the resolution scaling predictably, with the 4K results approximately halving the 1440p results across all presets. The CPU's influence is most visible at 1080p, where the Low preset's 421 FPS versus the Ultra preset's 270 FPS indicates that even with the same CPU, quality settings significantly affect the GPU workload. At 4K, the CPU's role diminishes, and the GPU's rendering capabilities become the dominant factor, as evidenced by the tight clustering of the 1440p-to-4K percentage drops across all four presets.
