Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that stresses system configuration logic rather than raw graphical fidelity, yet the measured FPS data for the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combo reveals a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings. The benchmark results show this pairing is exceptionally fast, with average frame rates ranging from 84 FPS at 4K Ultra to 474 FPS at 1080p Low, positioning it in the top percentile of tested hardware combinations.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and reveals where the bottleneck lies. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 474 FPS average, but at 4K Low that figure falls to 176 FPS – a reduction of approximately 63%. This scaling pattern indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU is heavily engaged when pixel count rises. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is also steep: 474 FPS drops to 336 FPS at Low settings, a 29% decline. Moving from 1440p to 4K at Low settings shows a further 48% drop (336 to 176 FPS), suggesting that resolution scaling is the dominant factor limiting performance.

At High settings, the progression is 266 FPS (1080p) → 168 FPS (1440p) → 88 FPS (4K), with each step representing roughly a 37-48% reduction. The Ultra preset shows a similar pattern: 253 FPS at 1080p falls to 160 FPS at 1440p (37% drop) and then to 84 FPS at 4K (48% drop). These consistent percentage decreases across settings indicate that the RTX 5090's rendering workload scales nearly linearly with pixel count, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. However, the fact that 4K Ultra still maintains an 84 FPS average means the GPU has enough headroom to handle this title comfortably at maximum resolution.

The data suggests that at 1080p and even 1440p, the CPU may be limiting in some configurations, but the massive frame rates (474 FPS at 1080p Low) point to the Ryzen 7 9700F being more than capable of feeding the GPU. The min FPS values available for Medium settings show a consistent ratio: at 4K Medium the min is 106 FPS (85% of average), at 1440p Medium min is 202 FPS (85% of average), and at 1080p Medium min is 320 FPS (85% of average). This uniformity suggests stable frame pacing across resolutions, with no single resolution exhibiting anomalous drops.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge), fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm process. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, and it operates within a 65 W TDP. The CPU's benchmark scores are strong: a Passmark single-thread score of 4691 and a multithread score of 36470, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. In Pc Building Simulator, which is a simulation game that likely involves moderate CPU overhead for game logic and simulation calculations, these specs prove sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 5090 at most settings.

The nearest rival comparisons show the 9700F is closely matched with other high-end chips. It scores 0.2% higher than the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (avgScore 69875 vs 69996) and 0.7% higher than the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (avgScore 69515). Against Intel, it lags the Core i7-14700KF by just 0.2% (70163 vs 69996) and trails the Core i7-14700K by 0.9% (69355). These tiny deltas mean the 9700F delivers virtually identical compute performance to its immediate competitors, which in game benchmarks translates to negligible differences in FPS when the GPU is the primary workload driver.

The L3 cache is 32 MB shared, with 1 MB L2 per core and 80 KB L1 per core. For a simulation game that may not require massive cache sizes, this configuration is adequate. The dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth provides sufficient data throughput for the CPU's operations. The fact that the CPU's Passmark physics score is 2122 and integer math score is 120788 suggests it can handle complex calculations without becoming a limiting factor, especially given that the measured FPS at 1080p Low (474 FPS) is far beyond what most displays can show.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the flagship Blackwell 2.0 GPU, built on TSMC's 5 nm process with 92,200 million transistors and a die size of 750 mm². It features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth – a figure that ensures the GPU never starves for data even at 4K Ultra. The base clock is 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The GPU's compute capabilities are massive: 104.8 TFLOPS FP32, 21760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs.

In Pc Building Simulator, the RTX 5090's performance is characterized by the FPS scaling seen across settings. At 4K, the average FPS ranges from 176 (Low) to 84 (Ultra), with High at 88 and Medium at 124. The step from Low to Medium at 4K costs 52 FPS (176→124), while Medium to High costs 36 FPS (124→88), and High to Ultra costs only 4 FPS (88→84). This indicates that the Ultra preset offers diminishing returns over High, as the GPU is already near its limit. At 1080p, the scaling is steeper: Low (474) → Medium (377) → High (266) → Ultra (253), with the gap between Medium and High being the largest (111 FPS drop).

The GPU's Passmark G3D score is 39650, with a GPU compute score of 26756, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are the Tesla P100 variants and AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, though these are not directly comparable in gaming scenarios. The RTX 5090's 32 GB VRAM is far beyond what Pc Building Simulator requires, meaning memory capacity is never a constraint. The 1.79 TB/s bandwidth ensures that even at 4K with Ultra textures, the GPU has ample memory throughput. The boost clock of 2407 MHz is high enough to sustain the observed FPS, and the 575 W TDP is justified by the performance on offer.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 4K displays, the High preset (88 FPS average) offers the best balance, as stepping down to Medium increases FPS to 124 (+36 FPS) but the visual quality loss is significant, while Ultra (84 FPS) only gains 4 FPS over High at a substantial quality cost. The 4K High frame rate is comfortably above 60 FPS, making it suitable for smooth gameplay on standard 60 Hz monitors. If the display supports higher refresh rates, Medium at 124 FPS is the only viable option to exceed 120 FPS at 4K, but the visual compromise may not be worth it in a simulation game where detail matters.

At 1440p, the High preset (168 FPS) is the sweet spot, delivering well above 144 Hz refresh rates. Medium (238 FPS) is excessive for most 144 Hz displays and only suits 240 Hz panels. The Low preset (336 FPS) is purely for competitive play, which is not relevant in Pc Building Simulator. The Ultra preset (160 FPS) is nearly identical to High, so High is the recommended choice for 1440p users. For 1080p, the High preset (266 FPS) is more than enough for any current display, and the Ultra preset (253 FPS) offers only a 5% FPS reduction for higher visual fidelity. Given that the game is a simulator, prioritizing visual quality at 1080p Ultra (253 FPS) is reasonable, as the frame rate remains exceptionally high.

The min FPS data for Medium settings shows stability: at 1080p the min is 320 FPS (85% of average), at 1440p it's 202 FPS (85%), and at 4K it's 106 FPS (85%). This consistent ratio indicates no stuttering issues, making Medium a safe fallback if framerate consistency is prioritized. However, the lack of min FPS data for other presets means we cannot fully assess their variance, but the average scores suggest High is the most efficient preset per frame delivered.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 ranks 37th out of 3002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the top 1.2% of all configurations. This is an elite ranking, though not the absolute top, indicating there are 36 other combos that deliver higher average FPS in this game. Given the CPU's 94th percentile and GPU's 92nd percentile standings, the combo's rank is slightly lower than the average of its components, suggesting that the specific pairing may have minor inefficiencies in this title.

The rank of 37 out of 3002 means this combo outperforms 2965 other combinations tested. The fact that it is not rank 1 could be due to other CPUs with higher single-thread performance or GPUs with better optimization for this particular game engine. However, the measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 474 FPS, which is likely near the upper limit of what the game engine can render. The 37th rank indicates that even at this level, there is room for improvement, possibly with a higher-clocked CPU or a more game-optimized GPU variant.

It's important to note that the combo rank uses measured data (dataIsMeasured: true), so these results come from actual testing rather than estimation. The ranking reflects the average FPS across all settings and resolutions, and the 37th position suggests that while this is a top-tier system, it is not the absolute best for Pc Building Simulator. Users seeking the maximum possible FPS in this game might consider other CPU-GPU pairings, but for practical purposes, this combo delivers exceptional performance across all scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the average FPS scales from 474 (Low) to 377 (Medium) to 266 (High) to 253 (Ultra). The Medium preset provides min FPS of 320 and max FPS of 433, indicating a wide variance but still stable. The gap between Low and Medium is 97 FPS, while Medium to High is 111 FPS, and High to Ultra is only 13 FPS. This suggests that the Ultra preset is nearly identical to High in performance cost, making High the more efficient choice at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS values are 336 (Low), 238 (Medium), 168 (High), and 160 (Ultra). The Medium preset shows min FPS of 202 and max FPS of 274. The scaling from Low to Medium is 98 FPS, Medium to High is 70 FPS, and High to Ultra is 8 FPS. The relatively small difference between High and Ultra (5% reduction) mirrors the 1080p pattern, reinforcing that Ultra is not worth the extra load. The 1440p Low setting at 336 FPS is remarkably high, indicating the CPU is not a bottleneck even at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS drops to 176 (Low), 124 (Medium), 88 (High), and 84 (Ultra). The Medium preset's min FPS is 106 and max is 143. The scaling is steeper: Low to Medium costs 52 FPS, Medium to High costs 36 FPS, and High to Ultra costs only 4 FPS. This shows that at 4K, the GPU is the limiting factor, and the Ultra preset offers no meaningful benefit over High. The 84 FPS at 4K Ultra is still playable, but the 88 FPS at High is smoother with identical visual quality in most scenes.

The data reveals that the RTX 5090's performance in Pc Building Simulator is consistently strong, with the Ryzen 7 9700F providing sufficient CPU headroom at all resolutions. The 4K High setting at 88 FPS is the most balanced configuration for 4K users, while 1440p High at 168 FPS and 1080p Ultra at 253 FPS deliver excellent experiences for their respective resolutions. The measured FPS values show no anomalies or unexpected drops, confirming that this combo works harmoniously in this simulation title.
