# Pc Building Simulator with AMD Ryzen 9 7900X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title from 2019, proves to be a demanding test for the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 pairing. The measured data reveals a system that scales predictably with resolution and settings, but with distinct bottlenecks emerging at the extremes. The combo ranks 866th out of 1769 tested configurations, placing it near the median of all tested systems for this game, which suggests a balanced but not exceptional performance profile.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and revealing. At High settings, the system delivers 139.3 FPS at 1920x1080, drops to 87.6 FPS at 2560x1440, and falls further to 49 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 36.9% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and an additional 44.1% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling pattern suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is likely the limiting factor, as the frame rates are high enough to expose any single-thread limitations.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more dramatic. The system hits 279.8 FPS at 1080p, 178 FPS at 1440p, and 91.3 FPS at 4K. The 1080p-to-1440p drop is 36.4%, while the 1440p-to-4K drop is 48.7%. This larger percentage decline at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as the pixel count rises. The RTX 5060's 8 GB GDDR7 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are likely being pushed harder at 4K, where the fill rate demands are substantially higher.

The data implies that 1080p is the sweet spot for this combo if maximum frame rates are desired, while 4K pushes the GPU to its limits. The difference between Low and Ultra settings at 4K is 91.3 FPS versus 46.9 FPS, a 94.7% improvement from Ultra to Low, which underscores how much headroom exists in the settings adjustments at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide clear guidance on the optimal settings-to-performance balance. At 1080p, Medium settings yield 200.1 FPS, which is 43.7% higher than High's 139.3 FPS and 49% higher than Ultra's 134.3 FPS. The jump from Medium to High costs 60.8 FPS, a significant hit for what is likely a modest visual improvement in a simulation game. Low settings at 1080p produce 279.8 FPS, but the visual compromise may not be worth the gain for most players.

At 1440p, Medium delivers 123.6 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold and represents a 41.3% improvement over High's 87.6 FPS. Ultra at 1440p drops to 86.9 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a simulation title that may benefit from smoother motion. The data suggests that Medium settings at 1440p offer the best experience per the measured rows, balancing visual fidelity with frame rates that exceed 120 FPS.

At 4K, the situation changes. High settings yield 49 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS standard, while Medium produces 68.2 FPS and Low reaches 91.3 FPS. For 4K play, Medium is the only preset that clears 60 FPS without resorting to Low. Ultra at 4K is 46.9 FPS, which is likely to feel sluggish in a simulation where precise cursor control matters. The recommendation is clear: Medium at 4K or Medium at 1440p for the best balance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB206 chip, operates at a base clock of 2280 MHz and boosts to 2497 MHz. Its 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a crucial factor in this game's performance at higher resolutions. The GPU's 3840 shading units and 120 tensor cores contribute to its 19.18 TFLOPS FP32 performance, but the data shows that memory bandwidth becomes a limiting factor at 4K.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 30109. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, scores 30097, a delta of 0%, indicating that the RTX 5060 is essentially tied with that competitor in synthetic tests. Interestingly, the AMD Radeon RX 570 scores 30158, which is 0.2% higher, suggesting that the RTX 5060's real-world performance may not always translate to synthetic superiority.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is most evident in the resolution scaling. The 4K High result of 49 FPS versus 1080p High of 139.3 FPS shows a 64.8% performance drop, which aligns with the GPU's memory bandwidth constraints. The 8 GB VRAM capacity may also be a factor at 4K with Ultra settings, where texture demands can exceed available memory, potentially causing stutters or frame drops that are not captured in average FPS figures.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, with its 12 cores and 24 threads based on Zen 4 architecture, is a powerful processor. Its base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz provide strong single-thread performance, as evidenced by its 3dmark single-thread score of 1093 and passmark single-thread score of 4238. The CPU's 64 MB of shared L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are substantial, but in Pc Building Simulator, the game's simulation logic may not fully utilize all 24 threads.

The CPU's benchmark results show it at the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 50556. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 235, scores 50598, just 0.1% higher, while the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT is 0.4% lower. This places the 7900X in a tight competitive group, with no clear winner among its nearest rivals.

In this game, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p with Low settings, where the system reaches 279.8 FPS. This high frame rate suggests that the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output at lower resolutions. However, the data also shows that at 4K, the CPU's performance is largely irrelevant, as the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The 7900X's 12 cores and 24 threads are likely underutilized in a simulation game that may not scale well beyond a few cores, but its high single-thread performance ensures it does not become a limiting factor at any resolution.
