Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title that places unique demands on a system, and the benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER show a configuration that is heavily optimized for high-refresh-rate gameplay. The data indicates that this combination delivers exceptional performance, ranking in the top percentile of all tested combos, with a combo rank of 323 out of 3723. The system demonstrates a clear ability to handle the game's most demanding settings at 4K, while also providing the headroom necessary for competitive frame rates at lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform and features a base clock of 3.70 GHz with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. This high core and thread count is particularly relevant for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, which often involves complex calculations and managing multiple in-game systems concurrently. The processor's 64 MB of L3 cache helps to reduce latency when accessing frequently used data, which can be beneficial for maintaining consistent frame pacing.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 5900X achieves an average benchmark score of 41376, placing it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in terms of average score include the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H and the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H, which are 0.3% and 0.4% higher, respectively. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is also 0.4% higher, while the Intel Core i7-14650HX trails by 0.5%. These marginal differences indicate that the 5900X is positioned within a tight cluster of high-performance processors, but its specific strengths lie in its multi-threaded capabilities. For instance, its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 16262, and its Passmark multithread score is 39002, which are strong indicators of its ability to handle workloads that utilize all 24 threads.

The game's performance data suggests that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in this configuration. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 349 FPS, which is a remarkably high frame rate that relies heavily on the CPU to feed the GPU with draw calls. The fact that this frame rate drops to 223 FPS at Ultra settings at the same resolution indicates that while the CPU can push very high frame rates, the increased graphical load begins to shift the balance toward the GPU. The CPU's boost clock of 4.80 GHz is sufficient for the game's single-threaded tasks, as evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 941 and Cinebench R15 single-core score of 250, ensuring that no core is left struggling to keep up with the simulation's logic.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is a high-end graphics card from the GeForce 40-series, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture. It comes with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. This is a substantial amount of VRAM and bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for Pc Building Simulator's textures and rendering requirements at any resolution. The card's base clock is 2295 MHz, with a boost clock of 2550 MHz, allowing it to sustain high performance under load.

The GPU's synthetic benchmark scores reinforce its high-end status. It achieves an average benchmark score of 54209, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, is 0.1% lower, showing that the SUPER variant is a marginal improvement over its non-SUPER predecessor. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% lower, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and AMD Radeon 8060S are 2.7% and 2.8% lower, respectively. This indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER is a top-tier performer, and the data shows it excels in DirectX 11 and DirectX 9 benchmarks, scoring 301 and 381 respectively, which are relevant for older game engines or compatibility modes.

In the measured FPS results, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced as resolution and settings increase. At 4K Ultra, the system averages 73 FPS, which is a playable frame rate for a simulation title. The GPU's 16 GB of VRAM is clearly not a limiting factor, as even at the highest settings, there is no indication of frame drops due to memory capacity. The card's pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s are impressive specifications that translate to the high fill rates observed in the benchmark results. The RTX 4080 SUPER's performance is the primary driver of the FPS numbers at 4K, as the CPU's role diminishes when the GPU is fully saturated with rendering tasks.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER achieves a combo rank of 323 out of 3723 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the system in the top 8.7% of all configurations, which is a strong result. The data shows that this pairing is well-balanced for the game, as neither component appears to be a severe bottleneck that would drag down the overall score.

When compared to other potential high-end combinations, the rank suggests that while there are more powerful setups (likely with newer CPUs like the Ryzen 7000/9000 series or Intel 13th/14th gen), this system is not far behind. The 5900X's 87th percentile CPU score and the 4080 SUPER's 86th percentile GPU score are closely matched, which is a good indicator of a balanced build. If one component had a significantly lower percentile, it would likely cap the performance of the other, but here they are well-aligned.

The rank also reflects the game's specific hardware demands. Pc Building Simulator is not a title that pushes the absolute limits of modern hardware like a AAA action game might, but it does benefit from high core counts and fast memory. The 5900X's 12 cores and 24 threads provide ample processing power for the simulation logic, while the 4080 SUPER's high bandwidth ensures that the frame buffer is never starved. This synergy is what propels the combo to its top-10% ranking.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at how the system performs across various resolutions and settings. At 1080p, the system is clearly CPU-bound at lower settings, with an average of 349 FPS at Low, 307 FPS at Medium, and 234 FPS at High. The jump from High to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop to 223 FPS, indicating that the GPU is starting to take on more work, but the frame rates remain exceptionally high. The Medium setting at 1080p shows a minimum of 261 FPS and a maximum of 353 FPS, demonstrating consistent performance without major dips.

Moving to 1440p, the frame rates remain very high but begin to reflect the increased GPU load. At Low settings, the system averages 295 FPS, which is only a slight drop from 1080p. Medium settings yield an average of 209 FPS, with a minimum of 178 FPS and a maximum of 240 FPS. High settings produce an average of 148 FPS, and Ultra settings bring the average down to 141 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 1440p is minimal, suggesting that the GPU is handling the extra graphical features efficiently.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. The system averages 154 FPS at Low settings, which is still very playable. Medium settings drop to 109 FPS, with a minimum of 93 FPS and a maximum of 126 FPS. High settings average 77 FPS, and Ultra settings average 73 FPS. These numbers show that the RTX 4080 SUPER is capable of delivering a smooth experience at 4K, even on the highest settings, albeit at frame rates that are more in line with a console-like experience than a competitive esports title.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling behavior of this combo is a clear indicator of where the bottleneck lies. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS drops by approximately 15-20% across all settings. For example, at High settings, the system goes from 234 FPS at 1080p to 148 FPS at 1440p, a 36.8% decrease. At Low settings, the drop is from 349 FPS to 295 FPS, a 15.5% decrease. This suggests that at lower settings, the CPU is still a significant factor, as the FPS does not drop as much when the resolution increases.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is much more dramatic, particularly at lower settings. At Low, the FPS drops from 295 to 154, a 47.8% decrease. At High, the drop is from 148 to 77, a 48.0% decrease. This sharp decline indicates that the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck at 4K, as the increased pixel count demands significantly more rendering power. The fact that the FPS at 4K Low (154) is still higher than the FPS at 1080p Ultra (223) is notable, and it shows that the CPU is not holding the system back at 4K.

The data suggests that for this game, the ideal sweet spot for this combo is 1440p, where it can deliver high frame rates at Ultra settings (141 FPS) without being overly constrained by either component. At 4K, the system is playable but requires turning down settings to maintain high refresh rates, as the GPU is clearly the limiting factor.
