GPU Role

VRAM and clocks define the GPU side of this pairing. The RTX 5090 uses 32 GB of GDDR7 across a 512-bit bus, giving it 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth. Its base clock is 2017 MHz and its boost clock is 2407 MHz. The GPU also carries 21760 shading units, 680 texture units, 176 ROPs, 170 RT cores, and 680 tensor cores. Peak throughput figures include 104.8 TFLOPS FP32, 1,636.8 GTexel/s texture rate, and 423.6 GPixel/s pixel rate. The GB202 die contains 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die, with a transistor density of 122.9M / mm².

These resources produce high measured averages in Pc Building Simulator. At 1080p, the GPU has enough power that Low reaches 365.7 fps, Medium 321.3 fps, High 269.3 fps, and Ultra 256.7 fps. At 4K, the GPU's role becomes more apparent: Low drops to 175.7 fps, Medium to 125.5 fps, High to 89 fps, and Ultra to 86.3 fps. The drop from Low to High at 4K is much larger than at 1080p, which indicates the GPU is doing more of the work as resolution climbs. The 32 GB frame buffer is a substantial amount of VRAM for a simulation game, though this dataset does not include memory usage readings. The GPU's API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, along with a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution scaling changes the balance between CPU and GPU load. At Low settings, the average FPS sequence is 365.7 at 1080p, 312.6 at 1440p, and 175.7 at 4K. At Medium, it is 321.3, 241.5, and 125.5. At High, it is 269.3, 173.1, and 89. At Ultra, it is 256.7, 165, and 86.3. Every setting loses average frame rate as resolution increases, and the 4K step produces the sharpest drops in the dataset.

The shape of these numbers points to a shift in the limiting component. At 1080p, even Ultra's 256.7 fps leaves a large amount of GPU headroom, suggesting the CPU and game simulation logic can cap performance before the GPU is fully stressed. At 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint: Low still delivers 175.7 fps, but Medium falls to 125.5 fps, and High and Ultra settle near each other at 89 fps and 86.3 fps respectively. The 1440p results sit in between, with Ultra at exactly 165 fps, showing that this combo remains very fast at a common high-resolution gaming target.

How This Combo Ranks

The pair ranks 36th out of 1769 tested combinations in Pc Building Simulator. That is a strong placement in a large field. The component-level data supports it: the i5-13400F sits at percentile 82 among CPUs, while the RTX 5090 sits at percentile 94 among GPUs. The CPU's average aggregate score is 25236, and the GPU's average aggregate score is 84306.

The CPU's nearest rivals are all close in average score, with deltaPct values of 0.1, -0.5, 0.5, and 0.5 relative to the i5-13400F. The GPU's nearest rivals are also close, with deltaPct values of 0.1, 0.2, 1.3, and -1.6. Because these component-level deltas are small, the overall rank of 36 is not the result of one overwhelmingly unmatched part. Instead, the combination of a high-percentile GPU and a reasonably strong CPU produces consistently high measured frame rates across the resolution and settings range.
