Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title released on 2019-01-28, presents a workload that stresses both CPU and GPU. The combination of an Intel Core i5-10400F (6 cores, 12 threads, boost 4.30 GHz) and an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (20 GB GDDR6, 800.0 GB/s bandwidth) produces measured frame rates from 59.9 FPS at 4K Ultra to 257.9 FPS at 1080p Low. This combo ranks 502nd out of 1769 tested combinations, placing it in the upper portion of the database.

Resolution Scaling

Across all four settings, the average FPS declines sharply as resolution increases. At High settings, the 1080p average of 200 FPS falls to 127.6 at 1440p and then to 65.2 at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K is steeper than from 1080p to 1440p, indicating that the GPU's compute resources are increasingly saturated at higher pixel counts. At Low settings, the 1080p average of 257.9 FPS drops to 219.8 at 1440p and 131.2 at 4K. The 4K Low figure is still higher than the 1440p High figure (127.6), suggesting that the GPU has headroom when settings are lowered. The pattern holds for Medium and Ultra: 1080p Medium 226.3, 1440p Medium 177.9, 4K Medium 93.5; 1080p Ultra 185.7, 1440p Ultra 119.6, 4K Ultra 59.9. The 4K Ultra result of 59.9 is the lowest measured average across all rows. This scaling behavior points to the GPU as the primary limiter at 4K, while the CPU's role becomes more prominent at lower resolutions where frame rates are very high.

GPU Role

The RX 7900 XT is a high-end GPU with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus, delivering 800.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1387 MHz, with a boost clock of 2394 MHz and a game clock of 2025 MHz. The GPU's average benchmark score is 38358, placing it in the 82nd percentile among all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is essentially tied with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile (38349, deltaPct 0.0), and it sits 0.3% above the CMP 70HX (38225) and 0.6% above the RTX 4080 Mobile (38135). It is 0.4% below the MX570 (38494), though that delta is small. The GPU's launch MSRP is 899 USD. In Pc Building Simulator, the 20 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for the game's textures, as evidenced by the fact that even at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 59.9, which is not limited by memory capacity but by compute throughput. The GPU's passmark G3D score of 29009 and compute score of 16828 further indicate strong raw performance. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (257.9) shows that the GPU can drive very high frame rates when the CPU is not the bottleneck.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Comet Lake, with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. It has 12 MB of shared L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s. Its average benchmark score is 14168, placing it in the 73rd percentile among all CPUs. It is 0.4% above the AMD EPYC 7552 (14115) and 0.8% below the Ryzen 3 7320C (14277). In Cinebench R23, it scores 10297 multi-core and 1453 single-core; in 3dmark single-thread, it scores 688. These numbers indicate a capable mid-range CPU. In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's influence is most visible at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the average FPS of 257.9 is likely near the CPU's maximum frame delivery, as the GPU is not fully stressed at that resolution. At 4K, the CPU's role diminishes, and the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for this simulation game, which does not appear to be heavily multi-threaded based on the measured FPS scaling.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination ranks 502nd out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU. The GPU's 82nd percentile and the CPU's 73rd percentile suggest that the GPU is the stronger component, and the combo's position is likely constrained by the CPU's lower standing. However, the measured FPS at 1080p and 1440p are high, with 1080p Ultra at 185.7 and 1440p Ultra at 119.6. At 4K Ultra, the average of 59.9 is the lowest of all measured rows, which may pull the rank down relative to combos with stronger CPUs that can maintain higher minimum frame rates. The rank of 502 out of 1769 places this combo in the upper portion of the database, indicating that it is a strong performer for this game.

Settings Recommendations

At 1080p, all presets deliver high frame rates, with Ultra at 185.7 and Low at 257.9. For a smooth experience, Ultra is recommended as it provides the highest visual quality without sacrificing performance. At 1440p, Ultra averages 119.6 FPS, which is still very smooth; High at 127.6 is slightly higher, but the difference is small. At 4K, the situation changes: Ultra drops to 59.9 FPS, while High offers 65.2, Medium 93.5, and Low 131.2. For 4K, High is the highest preset that maintains a higher average than Ultra, and it provides a 65.2 FPS average. Medium at 93.5 is also a strong option if higher frame rates are desired. Low at 131.2 is the fastest but sacrifices visual quality. Given the data, the best experience for a 4K display is High, which balances visual fidelity and frame rate. For 1440p, Ultra is recommended, and for 1080p, Ultra is also recommended.
