# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 serves as the primary rendering engine for Pc Building Simulator, and its memory subsystem plays a critical role in the measured results. With 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, the card provides 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This generous memory allocation ensures that texture streaming and asset loading in the simulation environment rarely become bottlenecks, even at higher resolutions where memory pressure intensifies.

The clock behavior of the RTX 5080 shows a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2617 MHz. These frequencies, combined with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture's 10,752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output pipelines, produce a pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s. The FP32 throughput of 56.28 TFLOPS indicates substantial raw compute capability that the game's rendering engine can leverage for complex scene composition.

The GPU's benchmark results place it in the 89th percentile of all tested graphics cards, with an average score of 59,188. The nearest rivals show interesting competitive dynamics: the Intel Arc Pro A60 outperforms it by 1.9%, while the Intel Arc A570M trails by 1.6%, the Intel Arc A580 by 2.5%, and the AMD Radeon Pro W5500X by 2.6%. These margins suggest the RTX 5080 sits in a competitive performance tier where architectural differences, rather than raw specifications, determine outcomes.

The measured FPS data reveals how the GPU's capabilities translate to real-world game performance. At 1080p Low settings, the combo reaches 382.2 FPS, indicating that the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower graphical loads. However, as settings increase to Ultra at 4K, the average drops to 76.3 FPS, demonstrating that the RTX 5080's resources are fully engaged at higher fidelity levels. The 16 GB VRAM capacity proves sufficient for all tested scenarios, as no memory-related stuttering or performance cliffs appear in the data.

# Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings based on display resolution and refresh rate capabilities. At 1920x1080, all settings presets deliver exceptional frame rates: Low produces 382.2 FPS, Medium 330.7 FPS, High 249.6 FPS, and Ultra 235.2 FPS. Even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains well above 200 FPS, making any settings choice viable for high-refresh-rate monitors. For users seeking the best visual fidelity without compromising smoothness, Ultra at 1080p offers the optimal balance.

At 2560x1440, the performance envelope remains generous. Low settings yield 313.5 FPS, Medium 222.3 FPS, High 158.3 FPS, and Ultra 151.7 FPS. The Ultra preset still delivers above 150 FPS, which comfortably supports 144Hz displays. The data suggests that 1440p Ultra is the sweet spot for this combination, providing both high visual quality and frame rates that exceed typical refresh rate thresholds. The relatively small gap between High and Ultra at this resolution (6.6 FPS) indicates diminishing returns from the High to Ultra transition.

The 3840x2160 results present a more nuanced picture. Low settings achieve 166.4 FPS, Medium 118.9 FPS, High 81.1 FPS, and Ultra 76.3 FPS. For 4K displays with 60Hz refresh rates, High settings provide a comfortable margin above the refresh threshold, while Ultra barely exceeds 60 FPS. Users targeting 120Hz or higher at 4K would need to select Medium settings to maintain sufficient headroom. The data indicates that High settings at 4K represent the best compromise between visual quality and performance, with Ultra offering only marginal improvements at a significant frame rate cost.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

Examining the full matrix of measured performance, the combo demonstrates remarkable consistency across resolution and settings combinations. At 1920x1080, the lowest measured average is 235.2 FPS at Ultra, while the highest reaches 382.2 FPS at Low. The progression from Low to Medium to High to Ultra shows a pattern of decreasing returns: Low to Medium costs 51.5 FPS, Medium to High costs 81.1 FPS, and High to Ultra costs only 14.4 FPS. This suggests that the High to Ultra transition is relatively inexpensive at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the same settings progression shows Low at 313.5 FPS, Medium at 222.3 FPS, High at 158.3 FPS, and Ultra at 151.7 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 91.2 FPS, from Medium to High is 64.0 FPS, and from High to Ultra is just 6.6 FPS. The narrowing gap between High and Ultra at this resolution indicates that the Ultra preset's additional graphical features have less impact on frame rate as pixel count increases.

The 3840x2160 results show Low at 166.4 FPS, Medium at 118.9 FPS, High at 81.1 FPS, and Ultra at 76.3 FPS. The Low to Medium reduction is 47.5 FPS, Medium to High is 37.8 FPS, and High to Ultra is only 4.8 FPS. This pattern reinforces that the Ultra preset's incremental costs shrink at higher resolutions, likely because the GPU becomes increasingly pixel-bound rather than shader-bound. The data across all three resolutions reveals that Ultra settings consistently add only 4-15 FPS over High, making High the more efficient choice when chasing higher frame rates.

# Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the system's bottleneck characteristics. At Low settings, the progression from 382.2 FPS at 1080p to 313.5 FPS at 1440p to 166.4 FPS at 4K shows a 56.5% reduction from 1080p to 4K. This relatively modest decline suggests that at Low settings, the CPU plays a significant role in limiting performance, as pure GPU scaling would typically produce a larger drop given the 4x pixel count increase from 1080p to 4K.

At Ultra settings, the scaling pattern changes dramatically: 235.2 FPS at 1080p, 151.7 FPS at 1440p, and 76.3 FPS at 4K. The 67.5% reduction from 1080p to 4K indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant limiting factor at higher fidelity settings. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D's 8 cores and 16 threads, with boost clocks reaching 5.00 GHz, provide sufficient processing power to keep up with the GPU's demands at 1080p, but the GPU's workload scales more aggressively with resolution.

The intermediate resolution of 1440p shows intermediate scaling behavior. From 1080p to 1440p at Medium settings, FPS drops from 330.7 to 222.3, a 32.8% reduction. From 1440p to 4K at Medium, the drop is from 222.3 to 118.9, a 46.5% reduction. This non-linear scaling suggests that the system transitions from a more balanced CPU-GPU load at lower resolutions to a GPU-bound configuration at 4K. The data indicates that users seeking maximum frame rates should favor 1080p or 1440p, while 4K represents a significant performance compromise even with this high-end hardware.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D provides the processing foundation for this combo, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture with Raphael codename. Its base clock of 4.20 GHz and boost clock of 5.00 GHz, combined with a 96 MB shared L3 cache, deliver strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. The CPU's benchmark results show a 3DMark single-thread score of 959 and a multi-thread score of 7,980, while Cinebench R23 scores reach 4,115 single-core and 29,149 multi-core.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 31,580 places it in the 87th percentile of all tested processors. Its nearest rivals show extremely tight competition: the Intel Core i7-12700F is just 0.1% behind, the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX is 0.3% behind, and both the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 7 7745HX are 0.6% behind. This clustering suggests that for Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's absolute performance level is sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck, with the game's simulation logic likely benefiting more from consistent single-thread performance than from massive multi-core scaling.

The measured FPS data supports this interpretation. At 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 382.2 FPS, which approaches the practical limits of many display technologies. The fact that increasing resolution to 1440p at Low settings only reduces FPS to 313.5 FPS (an 18% drop despite a 78% increase in pixel count) indicates that the CPU maintains its capability to feed the GPU adequately. The 120 W TDP and 5 nm process node allow the CPU to sustain high clocks without thermal throttling, ensuring consistent frame delivery across all tested scenarios.

This strong ranking reflects the balanced capabilities of both components, with the CPU's strong single-thread performance complementing the GPU's substantial rendering power.

The ranking becomes more meaningful when considering the competitive landscape. The CPU's 87th percentile standing and the GPU's 89th percentile standing individually suggest high-performing components, but their combined rank of 63rd indicates that the pairing extracts near-optimal performance from both. The tight deltaPct values among the CPU's nearest rivals (all within 0.6%) and GPU's nearest rivals (within 2.6%) suggest that small performance differences in either component could shift the combo's ranking.

For Pc Building Simulator specifically, the rank of 63rd out of 1,769 combos indicates that while this is an elite-level configuration, there are 62 combinations that achieve higher measured frame rates. The game's simulation genre typically benefits from strong single-threaded CPU performance, which the 7800X3D provides with its 5.00 GHz boost clock and impressive single-thread benchmark scores. The RTX 5080's 16 GB VRAM and high bandwidth ensure that the GPU side of the equation is equally well-equipped. This combination of strengths positions the pairing as a top-tier choice for users seeking maximum performance in this title, with only a small fraction of alternative configs delivering better results.
