GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the primary driver of frame rate scaling across the measured resolutions. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for Pc Building Simulator's asset streaming at 1080p and 1440p. The GPU's base clock of 1410 MHz and boost clock of 1665 MHz, combined with 4864 shading units and 152 texture mapping units, allow it to handle the game's rendering workload efficiently. The 80 raster operation units deliver a pixel rate of 133.2 GPixel/s, which supports the texture-heavy scenes typical of a hardware assembly simulator.

The GPU's benchmark scores contextualize its capabilities. It achieves a Passmark G3D score of 20349 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 109075, placing it in the 69th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 25120 is within 0.5% of the AMD Radeon RX 6600, which scores 25235, and within 0.2% of the AMD Radeon RX 6700M, which scores 25180. The 16.20 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 253.1 GTexel/s texture rate indicate that the GPU can sustain high throughput in simulation environments, though the data shows that Ultra settings at 4K push it to 37.7 FPS, suggesting memory capacity or shading limitations at that extreme.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F provides the computational foundation for the simulation logic in Pc Building Simulator. With 10 cores and 16 threads, split between performance and efficiency cores on the Raptor Lake architecture, the CPU can handle the game's background calculations while maintaining responsive frame pacing. Its base clock of 2.50 GHz boosts to 4.60 GHz, and the 20 MB shared L3 cache helps reduce latency when the game accesses frequently used simulation data. The CPU's 65 W TDP and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory offer flexibility in system configuration.

Benchmark results show the CPU's strengths in multi-threaded workloads. It scores 21279 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 8937 in Cinebench R20 multicore, while single-thread performance reaches 3004 in Cinebench R23 and 2301 in Geekbench singlecore. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7314 and max-thread score of 7307 indicate consistent scaling across all cores. The CPU's average benchmark score of 25236 places it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, with its closest rival being the Intel Core i7-13620H at 0.1% lower and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D at 0.5% lower in score. For Pc Building Simulator, where physics calculations and inventory management run concurrently with rendering, the 16 threads provide ample headroom, as evidenced by the frame rates not collapsing at lower resolutions where CPU-bound scenarios typically emerge.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1233rd out of 1769 tested combinations for Pc Building Simulator, placing it in the 30th percentile of all tested combos. This rank may seem modest, but it reflects the game's nature as a simulation title that does not heavily stress high-end hardware. The measured FPS data shows that this combination still delivers playable results at most settings. The rank suggests that many higher-tier combos exist in the database, but the practical frame rates tell a more nuanced story.

For context, the CPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU's 69th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicate that both components are above average individually. The combo's lower overall rank in this game compared to other titles likely stems from the fact that Pc Building Simulator does not scale linearly with hardware performance beyond a certain threshold, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU becomes the bottleneck. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 226.3 FPS, which is likely near the game's engine limit. The rank of 1233 out of 1769 means that approximately 536 combos perform better, but the margin of difference in actual FPS may be small at this level of performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 resolution, the combo shows a wide range of performance across settings. Low settings produce an average of 226.3 FPS, which drops to 161.7 FPS at Medium, 115 FPS at High, and 106.9 FPS at Ultra. The 1080p results demonstrate that the RTX 3060 Ti can easily drive high-refresh-rate monitors at this resolution, with even Ultra settings staying above 100 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show the expected decline. Low settings average 141.1 FPS, Medium averages 99.9 FPS, High averages 70.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 68.3 FPS. The 1440p data shows a steeper drop from Low to Medium, a 41.2 FPS reduction, compared to the 64.6 FPS drop seen at 1080p between the same settings, indicating that the GPU becomes more of a limiting factor at higher resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the combo's performance becomes more constrained. Low settings average 71.6 FPS, which is still playable, but Medium drops to 53.3 FPS, High to 36.6 FPS, and Ultra to 37.7 FPS. The 4K results show that the 8 GB VRAM and the GPU's overall throughput are insufficient for consistent high-refresh gameplay at this resolution, though Low settings remain viable for users prioritizing resolution over visual fidelity.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal experience depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings at 106.9 FPS provide the best combination of visual quality and performance, as the frame rate is well above the 60 FPS threshold and leaves headroom for minor frame drops. For users with high-refresh-rate displays, Medium settings at 161.7 FPS offer a smoother experience while still delivering reasonable visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, Medium settings at 99.9 FPS represent the best balance, as it stays near the 100 FPS mark while providing significantly better visuals than Low. High settings at 70.2 FPS is also a viable option for users prioritizing image quality, but Ultra at 68.3 FPS offers minimal visual improvement over High while sacrificing performance. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot for 1440p gaming on this hardware.

For 3840x2160, Low settings at 71.6 FPS are the only consistently playable option, as Medium at 53.3 FPS dips below the 60 FPS threshold and High at 36.6 FPS becomes uncomfortable for most users. The 4K Ultra setting at 37.7 FPS is only suitable for users who prioritize resolution over frame rate and are willing to accept a less fluid experience. The measured data clearly indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K reserved for users who prefer visual fidelity over smoothness.
