GPU Role

The RTX 4090's specifications directly shape Pc Building Simulator's performance profile. The GPU runs at a 2,235 MHz base clock and boosts to 2,520 MHz, with memory clocked at 1,313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). This 5 nm Ada Lovelace chip contains 16,384 shading units, 512 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs, alongside 128 ray tracing cores and 512 tensor cores. The 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute translates to substantial rasterization headroom for this simulation.

The 24 GB GDDR6X memory pool on a 384-bit interface delivers 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. In Pc Building Simulator, this bandwidth proves critical at higher resolutions — the gap between 1080p and 4K performance narrows as settings increase, indicating memory bandwidth helps maintain frame rates when the simulation loads more assets. The GPU's 450 W TDP and triple-slot design suggest significant thermal headroom, though the data measures only in-game results.

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4090 achieves 256.4 FPS on Low settings, but this drops to 200 FPS on High and 196.8 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p represents a 23.3% performance reduction. Moving to 2560x1440, the spread tightens: Low hits 218.1 FPS, High 166.7 FPS, and Ultra 153.5 FPS — a 29.6% drop from Low to Ultra. At 3840x2160, the range compresses further, with Low at 171.4 FPS and Ultra at 81 FPS, a 52.7% reduction that highlights the GPU's compute limits at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows a clear optimal point for this combination. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver 196.8 FPS, only 3.2 FPS behind High (200 FPS) and 29.2 FPS behind Medium (226 FPS). The visual quality gain from Ultra versus High costs just 1.6% performance, making Ultra the best experience at this resolution. Medium offers a 14.8% boost over Ultra but sacrifices visual fidelity for a marginal smoothness gain.

At 2560x1440, High settings provide 166.7 FPS, which is 13.2 FPS more than Ultra (153.5 FPS) but 28.1 FPS less than Medium (194.8 FPS). High strikes the balance, delivering 86% of Medium's frame rate with better visual quality. The 8.6% penalty from High to Ultra is acceptable for users prioritizing image quality, but High is the recommended preset for 1440p.

For 3840x2160, Medium settings produce 120 FPS, a 38.5% improvement over High (86.7 FPS) and 48.1% over Ultra (81 FPS). The jump from Medium to High costs 27.8% performance, making Medium the sensible choice for 4K. Low at 171.4 FPS exceeds 144 Hz refresh rates, but the visual trade-off is severe. Ultra remains playable at 81 FPS, though users with high-refresh 4K displays should prefer Medium.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 256.4 FPS average, Medium 226 FPS, High 200 FPS, and Ultra 196.8 FPS. The performance curve shows diminishing returns from Low to Medium (11.9% drop) versus Medium to High (11.5% drop), while High to Ultra costs only 1.6%.

The 2560x1440 results show more variation. Low averages 218.1 FPS, Medium 194.8 FPS, High 166.7 FPS, and Ultra 153.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 10.7%, Medium to High is 14.4%, and High to Ultra is 7.9%. This resolution demonstrates how the GPU's pixel throughput becomes a factor, with each settings tier exacting a larger toll than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the numbers compress into a tighter range. Low hits 171.4 FPS, Medium 120 FPS, High 86.7 FPS, and Ultra 81 FPS. The Low to Medium drop is 30%, Medium to High is 27.8%, and High to Ultra is 6.6%. The 4K results reveal that the RTX 4090's 1.01 TB/s bandwidth and 443.5 GPixel/s pixel rate are sufficient for Low and Medium, but High and Ultra demand more than the 24 GB memory and 128 ROPs can efficiently feed.

How This Combo Ranks

The 342nd rank out of 1,769 total combos places this pairing in the 81st percentile of all tested configurations for Pc Building Simulator. This is a strong result considering the CPU's modest 73rd percentile ranking among all processors. The i5-10400F's PassMark average of 14,168 sits within 1.2% of its nearest rivals, yet the RTX 4090's 91st percentile GPU ranking (average score 66,473) drives the combination's overall standing.

The data indicates the GPU carries the performance load. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 256.4 FPS, which is 31.7% higher than the 4K Low result of 171.4 FPS. This spread suggests the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at lower resolutions, but the 4K Ultra result of 81 FPS shows where the pairing's limits lie. The RTX 4090's nearest rivals — the Tesla T4 (-0.4%), Tesla P40 (+0.5%), Radeon Pro Vega 56 (-0.9%), and Quadro P6000 (-1.3%) — all have lower average scores, reinforcing that the 4090 is the primary performance driver.

Benchmark results indicate the i5-10400F's 12 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (42.7 GB/s bandwidth) provide sufficient throughput for the RTX 4090 in this simulation. The CPU's 3DMark scores — 4,748 with 16 threads and 688 single-thread — show balanced scaling, while the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 38,194 dwarfs its compute result of 26,613, aligning with the game's rasterization-heavy nature. This combination ranks above the majority of tested systems, making it a capable pairing for Pc Building Simulator despite the CPU's mid-range positioning.
