# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Pc Building Simulator with the Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT reveals a clear pattern: resolution scaling has a dramatic impact on performance, and the GPU becomes the dominant limiting factor as pixel count rises. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers 236.1 FPS, which drops to 146.3 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 76.2 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 68% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the graphics card is being pushed progressively harder.

The scaling behavior becomes more pronounced at higher settings. At Ultra settings, the FPS falls from 112.2 at 1080p to 68.2 at 1440p (a 39% drop), then to 36.9 at 4K (another 46% drop). This steepening decline at higher presets confirms that the RX 7600 XT — with its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus — is the primary bottleneck when visual fidelity increases. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, has ample headroom at 1080p Low where frame rates exceed 236 FPS, but that headroom shrinks as resolution climbs.

At 4K, the gap between Low (76.2 FPS) and Medium (52.4 FPS) is 23.8 FPS, while the gap between High (39.4 FPS) and Ultra (36.9 FPS) is only 2.5 FPS. This compression at the top end suggests that the GPU is saturating its shading units and ROPs when handling the most demanding settings, leaving little performance differentiation between High and Ultra. The data indicates that users targeting 4K should expect playable frame rates only at Low or Medium presets, while 1440p offers a more balanced experience across all settings.

# How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT combination ranks 1157th out of 1769 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the pairing in the lower-middle portion of the database, which is notable given the individual component benchmarks. The CPU ranks in the 77th percentile among all processors, while the GPU ranks in the 63rd percentile among all graphics cards. The gap between these percentile positions suggests that the GPU is the weaker link in this pairing for this specific game.

The combo rank of 1157 out of 1769 means that approximately 65% of tested combinations outperform it in this title. This is a somewhat surprising result given that the CPU and GPU both sit above the median in their respective benchmark distributions. The simulation genre may favor different hardware characteristics, and the data shows that this pairing does not translate its raw benchmark strength into top-tier gaming performance in Pc Building Simulator specifically. The ranking implies that other combos with lower individual component scores achieve better frame rates in this game, possibly due to architectural differences or driver optimizations.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 236.1 FPS, Medium settings yield 166.2 FPS, High settings reach 117.1 FPS, and Ultra settings cap at 112.2 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 123.9 FPS spread, with the largest single drop occurring between Low and Medium (69.9 FPS). The difference between High and Ultra is only 4.9 FPS, indicating diminishing returns at the top preset.

At 2560x1440, performance scales down proportionally. Low settings average 146.3 FPS, Medium averages 106.7 FPS, High averages 72.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 68.2 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 78.1 FPS, with the Low-to-Medium gap at 39.6 FPS and the High-to-Ultra gap at 4.7 FPS. These figures show that 1440p retains playable frame rates across all settings, though Ultra dips below 70 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly strained. Low settings average 76.2 FPS, Medium averages 52.4 FPS, High averages 39.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 36.9 FPS. The total spread is 39.3 FPS, and the Low-to-Medium drop is 23.8 FPS, which is the largest single-step decline in the entire dataset. The High-to-Ultra gap narrows to just 2.5 FPS, showing that the GPU has nearly reached its performance ceiling at these settings.

# CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F brings 6 cores and 12 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. Its benchmark results show strong single-threaded performance: a 3DMark single-thread score of 909, a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2332, and a PassMark single-thread score of 3481. These figures indicate that the CPU can handle the game logic and simulation calculations that Pc Building Simulator relies on, which are often single-thread dependent.

The CPU's multi-threaded scores are also substantial, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16518 and a Geekbench multicore score of 9138. In a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, where background systems and component interactions may utilize multiple threads, the 12 threads provide headroom. The CPU's 18 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB L2 cache per core further support data-intensive workloads.

The measured FPS data suggests the CPU is not the primary bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 236.1 FPS, which is high enough to indicate that the CPU can drive frame rates well beyond typical display refresh rates. The fact that FPS scales down predictably with resolution increases — rather than plateauing due to CPU limits — confirms that the processor has sufficient capacity for this game.

# Settings Recommendations

For 1920x1080 displays, the data shows that High settings at 117.1 FPS provide an excellent experience, while Ultra at 112.2 FPS offers only a marginal improvement of 4.9 FPS over High. Given the minimal difference, High settings are the rational choice for 1080p, as they deliver nearly identical performance to Ultra with potentially lower GPU load. Medium at 166.2 FPS is optimal for high-refresh-rate monitors, offering a substantial 49.1 FPS advantage over High.

For 2560x1440 displays, Medium settings at 106.7 FPS represent the best balance. High at 72.9 FPS is still smooth, but Medium provides a 33.8 FPS advantage that is noticeable in a simulation game where UI responsiveness matters. Ultra at 68.2 FPS is playable but offers no meaningful visual upgrade over High for a 4.7 FPS cost.

For 3840x2160 displays, Low settings at 76.2 FPS are the only preset that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS. Medium at 52.4 FPS is borderline, while High and Ultra at 39.4 FPS and 36.9 FPS respectively are below the smoothness threshold for most users. The recommendation for 4K is to use Low settings or drop to 1440p for a better experience.

# GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, along with 32 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2755 MHz, with a game clock of 2470 MHz. Its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and the card is rated for a 190 W TDP.

The GPU's benchmark scores show a PassMark G3D score of 17132 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2348. Its percentile ranking of 63rd among all GPUs places it in the mid-range tier. The nearest rivals show tight competition: the RX 7600 XT is 0.3% ahead of the RX 460, 0.6% behind the RX 7600, 1.9% ahead of the RTX 2060 SUPER, and 1.9% behind the RTX 3070 Mobile.

In Pc Building Simulator, the GPU's role is defined by the resolution scaling data. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for this game's textures, even at 4K, but the 128-bit memory bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth become limiting factors at high resolutions. The steep FPS drops from 1080p to 4K — particularly at Ultra settings where the GPU is fully utilized — indicate that the card's compute and memory bandwidth, rather than its VRAM capacity, are the constraining elements in this simulation title.
