Pc Building Simulator

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti combination lands at rank 895 out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. That places this pairing almost exactly in the middle of the database’s performance distribution, which is a nuanced position for a system built around a 16-core flagship CPU and a 30-series GPU. The data suggests this combo is neither a top-tier outlier nor a bottlenecked afterthought; it sits in a crowded mid-pack where the balance between the processor and graphics card determines the final outcome. Given the CPU’s 93rd percentile ranking among all processors and the GPU’s 69th percentile among all graphics cards, the overall rank of 895 indicates that the game’s workload does not fully leverage the CPU’s strengths, leaving the graphics card as the more consequential component for frame delivery.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s position at rank 895 out of 1769 is a direct reflection of the hardware pairing’s measured behavior in this specific simulation title. The CPU, with an average benchmark score of 49062, sits within 1.1% of its nearest rivals, including the Intel Core i5-14600K (deltaPct -0.2), the Intel Core i5-14600KF (-0.6), the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H (0.7), and the AMD EPYC 4345P (-1.1). This clustering shows that the Ryzen 9 5950X is not a performance outlier in general compute tasks; it trades blows with modern mid-range and server parts. However, Pc Building Simulator’s frame rates do not scale linearly with these CPU scores. The GPU, meanwhile, has an average benchmark score of 25120 and is similarly tight against its rivals: the AMD Radeon RX 6700M (-0.2), RX 6600 (-0.5), Radeon 890M (-0.5), and RX 580 2048SP (-0.7). The deltaPct values for both components are all under 1.2%, meaning this pairing is essentially interchangeable with a handful of other hardware combinations in terms of raw benchmark averages.

What the rank reveals is that the combo’s mid-pack standing comes from the game’s modest hardware demands. Pc Building Simulator is a simulation title from 2019, and the data shows that even at 4K Ultra settings, the average FPS is 46.5, which is playable but not exceptional. The CPU’s massive 16-core, 32-thread configuration does not translate into a top-100 ranking because the game’s engine does not appear to scale with that many threads; the measured FPS at 1080p Low (277.7 FPS) is high, but the jump to rank 895 suggests that many other combos with faster single-thread performance or stronger GPUs achieve higher frame rates. The percentile data reinforces this: the CPU is in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, but the combo rank is in the 50.6th percentile of all combos, meaning the graphics card’s 69th percentile standing drags the overall result down. In short, the rank is a verdict on the GPU’s limitations at higher resolutions, not on the CPU’s compute prowess.

GPU Role

The RTX 3060 Ti brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 1410 MHz with a boost clock of 1665 MHz, and memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). These specifications define the GPU’s role in Pc Building Simulator: it is the primary driver of frame rates across all resolutions and settings. The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern where the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute throughput dictate performance. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 277.7 FPS, which is a scenario where the GPU is not saturated and the CPU’s high core count can feed frames quickly. But as resolution increases, the GPU’s workload grows, and the FPS drops accordingly. At 4K Ultra, the average is 46.5 FPS, a 83% reduction from the 1080p Low figure, which is a typical sign of a GPU-bound scenario.

The GPU’s 16.20 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 253.1 GTexel/s texture rate are the theoretical limits that the game’s rendering engine can utilize. In this title, the RTX 3060 Ti’s 8 GB VRAM is not a limiting factor, as even at 4K Ultra the game runs within the memory capacity; the FPS drop from 1080p Ultra (134.3) to 4K Ultra (46.5) is more attributable to shading and rasterization load than memory spillover. The GPU’s percentile rank of 69 places it above average, but its nearest rival, the RX 580 2048SP, has a similar average score (25287 vs 25120), which suggests that this tier of graphics hardware is where the combo’s performance ceiling resides. The data indicates that the RTX 3060 Ti is the component that determines whether the system delivers smooth 1440p gameplay or struggles at 4K, with the CPU providing ample headroom that goes unused.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture across three resolutions and four quality settings. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 277.7 FPS on Low, 193.6 FPS on Medium, 140.9 FPS on High, and 134.3 FPS on Ultra. These numbers show that the CPU’s 16 cores and 32 threads are more than sufficient to push high frame rates at this resolution, with the GPU becoming the bottleneck only at Ultra settings where the FPS drops by 51.7% compared to Low. At 2560x1440, the averages are 176.9 FPS (Low), 124.1 FPS (Medium), 89 FPS (High), and 84.1 FPS (Ultra). The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings: Low falls by 36.3%, Medium by 35.9%, High by 36.8%, and Ultra by 37.4%, indicating a uniform scaling factor as pixel count increases by 78%. At 3840x2160, the averages are 92.9 FPS (Low), 62.6 FPS (Medium), 46.1 FPS (High), and 46.5 FPS (Ultra). The 4K Low to 4K Ultra transition shows a 50% reduction in FPS, but the High and Ultra settings are nearly identical (46.1 vs 46.5), suggesting that the GPU hits a performance plateau where additional quality settings have minimal impact.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens with resolution. At 1080p, Low is 106.8% faster than Ultra (277.7 vs 134.3). At 1440p, that gap grows to 110.3% (176.9 vs 84.1). At 4K, the gap narrows to 99.8% (92.9 vs 46.5), which is counterintuitive but explained by the GPU being fully saturated at 4K Low, leaving little headroom for quality improvements. The data also shows that High settings are closer to Ultra than to Medium across all resolutions: at 1080p, High (140.9) is within 4.9% of Ultra (134.3), while at 4K, High (46.1) and Ultra (46.5) are within 0.9%. This suggests that the game’s Ultra preset does not add significant rendering cost over High, making High the more efficient choice for this hardware.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution scaling reveals the limiting component clearly. Moving from 1080p Low to 1440p Low, FPS drops from 277.7 to 176.9, a 36.3% reduction for a 78% increase in pixels. From 1440p Low to 4K Low, FPS drops from 176.9 to 92.9, a 47.5% reduction for a 125% increase in pixels. This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU is becoming the primary constraint as resolution rises, because the CPU’s frame-feeding capability is not the bottleneck at these frame rates. At 1080p Ultra, the combo achieves 134.3 FPS, which is high enough to suggest the CPU is still keeping pace, but at 4K Ultra, the 46.5 FPS result shows the GPU is overwhelmed by the pixel workload.

The limiting component is definitively the RTX 3060 Ti. The CPU’s 3DMark max-thread score of 11597 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 38607 are top-tier, but the game does not use that many threads; the measured FPS at 4K High (46.1) and 4K Ultra (46.5) are nearly identical, which would not happen if the CPU were the constraint. If the CPU were limiting, we would see a larger gap between High and Ultra settings as the GPU waits for CPU data. Instead, the FPS is pinned by the GPU’s rendering capacity. The data also shows that the combo’s 4K Low score of 92.9 FPS is 33% higher than the 4K High score, which again points to GPU shading and texture throughput as the limiting factor. The CPU’s 93rd percentile ranking does not translate to higher FPS at 4K because the game’s simulation logic is not computationally heavy enough to require 16 cores; the 2-thread 3DMark score of 1856 is more relevant to this title’s single-threaded nature, and even that does not bottleneck the GPU until 1080p Low where 277.7 FPS approaches the CPU’s practical limit. Ultimately, for this combo in Pc Building Simulator, the RTX 3060 Ti’s 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth define the performance envelope, with the Ryzen 9 5950X providing ample headroom that goes largely unused above 1440p.
