Pc Building Simulator

This page covers benchmark data for PC Building Simulator running on the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile — a mobile-focused combination where the CPU sits in the 95th percentile of all tested processors while the GPU lands at the 67th percentile. The measured results below are drawn entirely from this pairing's recorded frames-per-second figures at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets, with the combo ranked 2476 out of 3723 tested hardware pairings in this specific game. That mid-pack ranking tells you the GPU is the pacing component here, not the processor, and the numbers bear that out at every resolution.

FAQ

Q: Can the RTX 5060 Mobile run PC Building Simulator at 4K? A: Yes, but only comfortably at reduced settings. At 3840x2160, the measured average is 76 FPS on Low, 54 FPS on Medium, 38 FPS on High, and 36 FPS on Ultra. Medium is the only 4K preset that stays above the mid-40s, with the recorded frame range running from a minimum of 46 FPS to a maximum of 62 FPS, so High and Ultra are not practical targets at native 4K with this GPU.

Q: How does the Ryzen 9 8945HX compare to its closest rivals in raw benchmark standing? A: The data places it in the 95th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 76212. Its nearest rivals cluster within a fraction of a percent: the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX scores 76155 (a 0.1 percent gap), the AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P scores 76492 (0.4 percent ahead), the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX scores 76513 (also 0.4 percent ahead), and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D scores 75779 (0.6 percent behind).

Q: Is the CPU or the GPU the bottleneck in this game? A: The GPU. The scaling pattern in the measured data — 230 FPS at 1080p Low dropping to 76 FPS at 4K Low — shows frame rates falling steeply as pixel count rises, which is the signature of a GPU-limited workload. A CPU-limited configuration would show nearly flat frame rates across resolutions. The 8945HX, with 16 cores, 32 threads, and a 5.40 GHz boost clock, has far more throughput than this simulation title demands.

Q: How much VRAM does the RTX 5060 Mobile have, and does it matter here? A: The GPU carries 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus with 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocked at 1500 MHz (24 Gbps effective). PC Building Simulator is a 2019 simulation title and does not stress that capacity; the 4K results are limited by the GPU's rendering throughput, not by running out of memory.

Q: Where does this pairing rank among all tested combos in this game? A: The combo ranks 2476 out of 3723 tested hardware pairings in PC Building Simulator. That places it below the median, which tracks with the GPU's 67th percentile standing against all GPUs and its average benchmark score of 22435 — the CPU is elite, the graphics solution is mid-range.

Q: What's the best preset for a high-refresh 1080p experience? A: Low, at 230 FPS average. Medium averages 163 FPS with a maximum of 188 FPS, High averages 115 FPS, and Ultra averages 110 FPS. If a display refreshes at 144 Hz, Medium clears it on average; if the target is 120 Hz or below, even Ultra qualifies at 110 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile is a Blackwell 2.0 part built on TSMC's 5 nm process, with the GB206 chip packing 21,900 million transistors into an 181 mm² die — a transistor density of 121.0M per mm². Its core configuration includes 3328 shading units, 104 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 26 RT cores, and 104 tensor cores, producing a pixel rate of 69.84 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 151.3 GTexel/s, and 9.684 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput (with FP16 at a 1:1 ratio). Base clock sits at 952 MHz with a 1455 MHz boost. Its 45 W TDP and integrated (slotless) form factor confirm this is a laptop-class solution.

Against the broader GPU field, the numbers are unambiguous: a 67th percentile standing and an average benchmark score of 22435. Its nearest rivals frame where it sits — the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT scores 22549 (0.5 percent ahead), the RX 5700 scores 22170 (1.2 percent behind), the RX 6700S scores 22154 (1.3 percent behind), and the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Mobile scores 22729 (1.3 percent ahead). In other words, this is a solid mainstream mobile GPU that trades blows with previous-generation and desktop-class mid-range cards, not a high-end part.

For PC Building Simulator, that's more than sufficient at 1080p and 1440p. The game dates to a 2019 release in the simulation genre, and the measured 1080p Ultra figure of 110 FPS confirms the GPU handles the title's full visual load without breaking a sweat at that resolution. The 8 GB of GDDR7 with 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth is generous for a game of this vintage; the only scenario where the GPU shows strain is native 4K, where even the Low preset lands at 76 FPS — a figure that reflects the sheer pixel count being pushed through 3328 shading units rather than any memory shortfall. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6 support covers every API path the game could use.

On the CPU side of the pairing, the Ryzen 9 8945HX is overkill in the best way. It's a Zen 4 (Dragon Range) mobile chip on a 5 nm TSMC process with 16 cores and 32 threads, 64 MB of L3 cache, 64 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2 per core, and support for dual-channel DDR5 with 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The 55 W TDP part boosts to 5.40 GHz and sits in the 95th percentile of all CPUs. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42713 and single-core score of 6030 describe a processor with enormous headroom, and the flat 110-to-115 FPS band between High and Ultra at 1080p shows the game never comes close to taxing it.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling data tells a clean story. At the Low preset, average frame rates run 230 FPS at 1920x1080, 145 FPS at 2560x1440, and 76 FPS at 3840x2160. Each step up in resolution roughly doubles the pixel count, and the frame rate roughly halves — 1080p to 1440p costs 37 percent of the frame rate, and 1440p to 4K costs another 48 percent. That near-proportional falloff is textbook GPU-bound behavior. If the Ryzen 9 8945HX were the limiting factor, frame rates would cluster tightly across resolutions because the CPU workload doesn't change with pixel count — it doesn't here, and the 95th-percentile processor is never the constraint.

The same pattern holds at higher presets. Medium goes 163, 103, 54. High goes 115, 73, 38. Ultra goes 110, 69, 36. The Medium row is the most fully documented, with min/max frame data recorded at every resolution: 139 to 188 FPS at 1080p, 88 to 118 FPS at 1440p, and 46 to 62 FPS at 4K. Note how the High-to-Ultra delta is small everywhere — 115 to 110 at 1080p, 73 to 69 at 1440p, 38 to 36 at 4K — indicating the visual gap between those presets is minor in this title, so the Ultra tier costs little once you're already at High.

The practical read: 4K native is the one resolution where this GPU genuinely struggles, dipping below 40 FPS on both High and Ultra. 1440p is the sweet spot for quality settings, and 1080p offers massive headroom for high-refresh play. Because the falloff is GPU-driven, lowering the preset at 4K (Medium or below) recovers far more performance than any CPU-side change ever would.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All figures below are measured averages for the Ryzen 9 8945HX + RTX 5060 Mobile combination in PC Building Simulator.

1920x1080:

• Low: 230 FPS average
• Medium: 163 FPS average (139 min / 188 max)
• High: 115 FPS average
• Ultra: 110 FPS average

At 1080p the pairing is untouchable by this game. Even the Ultra preset clears 110 FPS, and Low pushes to 230. The Medium row's 139-to-188 range shows tightly controlled frame pacing with a spread that stays well within playable territory at every moment measured.

2560x1440:

• Low: 145 FPS average
• Medium: 103 FPS average (88 min / 118 max)
• High: 73 FPS average
• Ultra: 69 FPS average

1440p keeps everything playable. Low and Medium both exceed 100 FPS on average, and even the maximum-quality Ultra preset stays at 69 FPS. The Medium minimum of 88 FPS means the dips never approach unplayable levels, making 1440p Medium the strongest balance of image quality and fluidity in the entire dataset.

3840x2160:

• Low: 76 FPS average
• Medium: 54 FPS average (46 min / 62 max)
• High: 38 FPS average
• Ultra: 36 FPS average

Native 4K is where the RTX 5060 Mobile runs out of road. Low remains smooth at 76 FPS, and Medium holds a 54 FPS average with a 46 FPS floor — acceptable, but not what most players want from a premium resolution. High and Ultra at 38 and 36 FPS are effectively off the table for comfortable play. If 4K output matters, the measured data says to step down to Medium or Low rather than fight the Ultra preset.

Comparing across presets at a fixed resolution shows the settings cost ordering: at 1080p, going Low to Ultra costs roughly half the frame rate (230 down to 110), while at 4K the same jump costs just over half (76 down to 36). The cost is consistent, and the High-to-Ultra step is uniformly cheap — the bulk of the performance loss happens between Low and High.

How This Combo Ranks

The pairing ranks 2476 out of 3723 tested combinations in PC Building Simulator. That places it below the midpoint of the field — an expected result given the imbalance in the pairing. The Ryzen 9 8945HX ranks in the 95th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 76212, sitting statistically alongside the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX (76155, 0.1 percent), the EPYC Embedded 8224P (76492, 0.4 percent), the Threadripper PRO 9945WX (76513, 0.4 percent), and the Ryzen 9 9950X3D (75779, 0.6 percent). The GPU, by contrast, is a 67th-percentile part with an average score of 22435, bracketed by the RX 7700 XT, RX 5700, RX 6700S, and RTX 4060 Mobile within about a percent and a half.

The takeaway for this specific game: the ranking is held back entirely by the graphics side. Since PC Building Simulator's frame rates here scale with GPU throughput and never approach the CPU's limits, any pairing higher in the game rankings got there with a stronger GPU, not a stronger processor. Conversely, this combo's ranking understates its consistency — the wide 139-to-188 FPS frame range at 1080p Medium and the stable 88-to-118 range at 1440p Medium indicate a smooth experience even where the average ranking looks middling. For a simulation title released in 2019, the absolute frame rates are high across the board; the rank number simply reflects how many faster GPUs exist in the comparison pool.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows point to three clear recommendations depending on the target resolution and refresh rate.

At 1920x1080: Medium is the pick for high-refresh play. It averages 163 FPS with a 188 FPS maximum and never dips below 139, comfortably servicing any common high-refresh panel. Players who want to chase the 230 FPS Low figure can drop the preset, but since Ultra already averages 110 FPS, there is little reason to go below High — and going High to Ultra costs only 5 FPS on average (115 down to 110). Just run Ultra if image quality matters; the game is trivially light at this resolution on this hardware.

At 2560x1440: Medium again, and this is the best overall configuration in the dataset. A 103 FPS average with an 88 FPS floor and a 118 FPS ceiling delivers both image quality and fluidity, and it leaves headroom above 60 FPS at all measured moments. Ultra at 69 FPS is viable for 60 Hz-class displays, but the Medium row's measured stability makes it the safer default.

At 3840x2160: Medium, and no higher. The 54 FPS average with a 46 FPS minimum is the lowest preset that maintains an experience most players would call smooth; stepping to High drops to 38 FPS and Ultra to 36, both below comfortable thresholds. Low at 76 FPS is the choice if frame rate is the priority at native 4K, but the qualitative cost is significant, and Medium represents the better compromise. Given the GPU's 67th percentile standing, native 4K Ultra simply isn't this hardware's job — the data recommends playing at 1440p instead and letting the display or GPU scaling handle the rest.

One final note from the numbers: the near-identical High and Ultra results at every resolution mean the Ultra preset's extra visual load is minimal in this title. When in doubt between the two, choose Ultra — the measured cost is a few frames, and the CPU in this pairing has headroom to spare.
