Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is not a typical action-heavy simulation; its rendering demands scale predictably with resolution, and the measured data for the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combo shows a clear pattern. The GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU's strong multi-threading ensures high frame rates at 1080p.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent, revealing that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the bottleneck as pixel count increases. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 226.9 at 1920x1080 to 140.9 at 2560x1440, a 37.9% reduction, and then to 72 at 3840x2160, which is a further 48.9% drop from the 1440p result. This halving at each step indicates a pure fill-rate and memory-bandwidth limitation, not a CPU constraint.

The trend is similar at High settings, where the average FPS drops from 114.1 at 1080p to 72.7 at 1440p, and finally to 37.2 at 4K. The 4K High result is only 32.6% of the 1080p High score. This scaling shows that the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p but are overwhelmed at 4K, particularly with higher quality presets that increase texture and shader complexity.

At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is a 54.9% reduction in FPS (72 vs 32.5). This spread is much wider than at 1080p, where the same settings span from 226.9 to 109.2, a 51.9% difference. The data suggests that at 4K, the GPU is so saturated that even reducing settings to Low cannot provide a consistently smooth experience, while at 1080p, the GPU has enough headroom to handle even the heaviest preset. The 12-core, 24-thread Ryzen 9 5900X is not the limiting factor here; its high multi-threaded scores, such as 33,150 in Cinebench R23, ensure it can feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but it cannot compensate for the GPU's geometric and pixel processing limits at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

For a balanced experience, the Medium preset at 2560x1440 is the optimal choice. The measured average FPS of 101.3 at this setting is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, and it provides a 39.9% improvement over the High preset's 72.7 FPS. This suggests that Medium settings at 1440p offer a substantial visual upgrade over 1080p while maintaining a high frame rate, making it the best trade-off between image quality and performance in the measured data.

At 1920x1080, the High preset is the recommended starting point, as it delivers 114.1 FPS on average. This is more than sufficient for most displays, and the jump to Ultra only yields a marginal 4.3% reduction in FPS (109.2 vs 114.1), which is an acceptable cost for the extra visual fidelity. Pushing to Medium at 1080p is unnecessary for performance, as the 158.8 FPS average is far beyond the refresh rate of most monitors, and the visual downgrade is not justified.

At 3840x2160, the data shows a challenging scenario. The High preset produces an average of 37.2 FPS, which is below the standard of 60 FPS for fluid motion. Even the Low preset, at 72 FPS, is the only 4K setting that approaches a comfortable playable level, but it sacrifices most visual quality. The Ultra preset at 32.5 FPS is not recommended for any serious play. Therefore, the measured data suggests that 4K is not a viable target for this combo at high detail; 1440p Medium is the sweet spot.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, with its 12 cores and 24 threads, is a high-end desktop processor that provides a strong foundation for simulation games. Its Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, operates at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. In Pc Building Simulator, the game's logic and system simulation are likely to scale with CPU performance, but the measured FPS data indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint.

The CPU's benchmark scores are robust, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 33,150 and a single-core score of 4,680. The multi-threaded performance is particularly relevant, as the game may spawn multiple worker threads for system tasks. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 9,075 and the max-thread score of 10,075 further confirm its ability to handle concurrent loads. However, the FPS results show a clear GPU bottleneck: at 1080p Low, the 226.9 FPS average suggests the CPU can sustain very high frame rates, but the GPU cannot maintain the same performance at higher resolutions.

The data indicates that the CPU is not a limiting factor in this combo. The percentile of 90 for all CPUs shows it is in the top tier. Its nearest rivals, such as the AMD EPYC 4245P and Intel Core i7-13700F, have similar average scores (39,383 and 39,095, respectively), with deltas of 0.2% and 0.9%, meaning the Ryzen 9 5900X is essentially on par with them. Since the game's performance drops significantly with resolution, the bottleneck is elsewhere. The CPU's high single-thread performance, as seen in the 3DMark single-thread score of 941 and Geekbench single-core score of 2,202, ensures that the game's primary logic thread is not holding back the GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 9 5900X and the RTX 2060 SUPER ranks at position 1,241 out of 1,769 tested combos for Pc Building Simulator. This places it in the 70th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning that roughly 30% of tested combos perform better. This rank is a direct reflection of the GPU's mid-tier standing, as the RTX 2060 SUPER has a percentile of 63 against all GPUs, while the CPU is a top-tier part at the 90th percentile.

The combo's rank is dragged down by the GPU's performance. The RTX 2060 SUPER's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (deltaPct 0.3%), the RTX 2070 (deltaPct 0.5%), and the NVIDIA Quadro K5200 (deltaPct 0.8%). These small deltas indicate that the GPU is closely matched with its immediate peers, and the combo's rank is consistent with a mid-range graphics card paired with a high-end CPU. The CPU's high scores do not boost the overall combo rank because the game's FPS is limited by the GPU at most settings, as demonstrated by the 4K results.

For a more performance-oriented build, a stronger GPU would be necessary to improve the combo's rank. The data shows that the CPU has ample headroom, but the GPU cannot translate that into higher frame rates at 1440p and 4K. The rank of 1,241 out of 1,769 is a verdict on the balance of this pairing: it is a reasonable mid-range setup but not a top-tier performer for this specific game.

The data shows that at 1080p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 117.7 FPS, while at 4K, the same spread is only 39.5 FPS. This compression at 4K indicates that the GPU's raw pixel throughput is the limiting factor, as settings changes have a smaller impact on FPS when the GPU is already saturated.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a Turing-architecture GPU with 2,176 shading units and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. Its memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s and boost clock of 1650 MHz are key specifications that influence its performance. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU's capabilities are the primary determinant of frame rates at all resolutions.

At 1920x1080, the GPU has enough resources to handle the simulation's rendering, as evidenced by the 226.9 FPS average at Low settings. However, at 3840x2160, the GPU's pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at high detail. The 4K Ultra result of 32.5 FPS is a clear sign of the GPU hitting its limits, as the 8 GB VRAM and 256-bit bus are taxed by the higher resolution.

The GPU's benchmark scores, such as a Passmark G3D score of 16,462 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,011, place it at the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals, including the RTX 2070 (0.5% delta) and GTX TITAN (0.3% delta), show that it is competitive within its class. However, for Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is to render the system-building interface and any 3D components, and the data indicates that it is a capable mid-range performer but not a high-end one. The 175 W TDP and dual-slot design are consistent with its performance class, and the 12 nm process node from TSMC is a factor in its efficiency, but the FPS results are the ultimate measure: it excels at 1080p, is adequate at 1440p, and struggles at 4K.
