Pc Building Simulator

# Resolution Scaling

Pc Building Simulator shows a dramatic FPS curve as resolution climbs, and the pattern reveals a system that is thoroughly GPU-bound at higher settings. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination delivers 223 FPS. Step up to 2560x1440 Ultra, and that number drops to 141 FPS — a 37% reduction. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average falls further to 73 FPS, which is 67% below the 1080p result. This scaling behavior is characteristic of a simulation title where the GPU's rendering load grows faster than the CPU's simulation workload.

The Low settings tell an even more revealing story about the limiting component. At 1080p Low, this combo produces 468 FPS. At 1440p Low, it hits 295 FPS. At 4K Low, it still manages 154 FPS. The fact that 4K Low (154 FPS) is still more than double the 1080p Ultra result (223 FPS) indicates that the CPU has plenty of headroom to feed the GPU — the bottleneck shifts decisively to the graphics card as resolution and settings increase. When the CPU is barely taxed (Low settings), the GPU still scales down predictably with pixel count, confirming that neither component is holding the other back in an abnormal way.

Medium settings provide the only measurements with min and max FPS data, which helps understand frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the average is 331 FPS with a minimum of 282 FPS and a maximum of 381 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 209 FPS with a range between 178 and 240 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 109 FPS with a range from 93 to 126 FPS. The spread between min and max grows proportionally with resolution, suggesting that the GPU's frame time variance increases as it approaches its limits.

# How This Combo Ranks

Among 3,723 tested combinations in Pc Building Simulator, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER holds the 190th position. That places it in the top 5% of all tested combos, a strong showing for a desktop simulation workload. The percentile ranking of 86 for both the CPU and GPU independently reinforces that both components are well above average, and their combination lands in the upper echelon of tested systems.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks help contextualize the processor's contribution. The Ryzen 7 9700X posts an average benchmark score of 37,943, which is just 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i9-14901E (37,911) and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (37,904). It also leads the Intel Core 5 211E (37,829) by 0.3% and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 (37,804) by 0.4%. These margins are razor-thin, meaning the 9700X is not a performance outlier in either direction — it sits comfortably in a cluster of similarly capable processors.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER's average benchmark score of 54,209 is nearly identical to the non-SUPER RTX 4080 at 54,247, a delta of just -0.1%. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54,828) is 1.1% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55,698) and AMD Radeon 8060S (55,757) are 2.7% and 2.8% higher respectively. These rival comparisons show that the 4080 SUPER is competitive but not dominant among its immediate peers, which makes the 190th overall combo ranking a fair reflection of its mid-to-high tier standing.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER brings 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory configuration is well-suited to Pc Building Simulator's asset-heavy scenes, where texture loading and object rendering benefit from ample VRAM capacity. At 4K Ultra, the game still achieves 73 FPS average, and the 16 GB pool likely prevents any memory capacity-related stutters that could appear on smaller VRAM cards.

Clock speeds for this GPU are listed at 2295 MHz base and 2550 MHz boost, with memory running at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). The architecture is Ada Lovelace on a 5 nm process from TSMC, with 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die. The 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs provide the raw throughput needed for high-resolution rendering. In practical terms, the pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s explain why the card handles 4K rendering as well as it does — the fill rate is substantial enough to maintain playable framerates in a simulation title that does not push the absolute limits of modern GPU hardware.

The GPU's passmark G3D score of 34,245 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,600 reflect its strong compute capabilities. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 219,065 and Vulkan score of 260,075 further demonstrate that this card has significant compute headroom beyond what Pc Building Simulator actually requires. This means the 73 FPS at 4K Ultra is likely limited by the game's rendering pipeline rather than the GPU's absolute maximum capability — the card has more to give in more demanding titles.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest framerates across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 468 FPS. Medium settings yield 331 FPS with a minimum of 282 FPS and a maximum of 381 FPS. High settings average 234 FPS. Ultra settings average 223 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 1080p is only 11 FPS (234 vs 223), suggesting diminishing returns from the highest preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong. Low settings deliver 295 FPS average. Medium settings average 209 FPS, with a range from 178 FPS minimum to 240 FPS maximum. High settings produce 148 FPS average. Ultra settings average 141 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at 1440p is just 7 FPS (148 vs 141), again showing that Ultra provides minimal visual benefit for the performance cost in this title.

At 3840x2160, the system still maintains playable framerates. Low settings average 154 FPS. Medium settings average 109 FPS, with a minimum of 93 FPS and a maximum of 126 FPS. High settings average 77 FPS. Ultra settings average 73 FPS. At 4K, the difference between High and Ultra narrows to just 4 FPS (77 vs 73), making Ultra the more demanding preset with almost no performance advantage to High.

Across all three resolutions, the scaling from Low to Ultra follows a consistent pattern: Low is roughly double the performance of Ultra. At 1080p, the ratio is 468:223 (2.1x). At 1440p, it is 295:141 (2.1x). At 4K, it is 154:73 (2.1x). This uniform scaling suggests that the game's settings presets apply consistent quality increases regardless of resolution, and the GPU responds predictably to those increases.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 9000 series, built on Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) using a 4 nm process from TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU supports DDR5 memory through a dual-channel interface with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and it includes Radeon integrated graphics as a fallback.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is evident from the benchmark results. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20,485 and single-core score of 2,211 indicate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 9,824 and max-thread score of 9,771 show that the processor scales well with thread count, which matters for a simulation game that may need to track multiple system components simultaneously. The PassMark multithread score of 37,161 and single-thread score of 4,654 further confirm balanced performance across workloads.

The CPU's 86th percentile ranking among all processors and its nearest rivals (all within 0.4% of its average score) suggest that the 9700X is not the limiting factor in this combination. The L3 cache of 32 MB shared across 8 cores provides adequate data sharing for simulation logic, and the 1 MB L2 per core ensures fast access to frequently used data. The PCIe Gen 5 support with 24 lanes gives the RTX 4080 SUPER ample bandwidth through its PCIe 4.0 x16 interface.

The data indicates that this CPU-GPU pairing is well balanced for Pc Building Simulator. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 468 FPS, which far exceeds the GPU's capability at higher settings but demonstrates that the CPU can feed frames quickly when the GPU is not heavily loaded. The fact that 4K Low (154 FPS) is higher than 1080p Ultra (223 FPS) shows the GPU is the dominant constraint at higher settings, while the CPU remains capable of driving very high framerates when the workload is light. For a simulation title with potentially complex system state tracking, the 8-core/16-thread configuration with 5.50 GHz boost provides sufficient compute headroom without becoming a bottleneck.
