Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title focused on the assembly and maintenance of personal computers, presents a unique workload that is less about raw graphical fidelity and more about computational throughput and asset streaming. The benchmark data for the Intel Core i5-14600K paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT reveals a configuration that is capable of delivering high frame rates across most settings, with the primary performance bottleneck shifting depending on the resolution and preset selected. The measured results indicate a system that can easily handle the game's demands at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K Ultra settings push the GPU to its limits, resulting in a less fluid experience.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is a critical component for Pc Building Simulator, as the game's interface and 3D component models must be rendered continuously. The GPU's specifications, including its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 128-bit memory bus providing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, are substantial for a simulation title. The boost clock of 2755 MHz and game clock of 2470 MHz provide the processing speed necessary to handle the game's dynamic menus and real-time component visualization.

The benchmark results show that the GPU's performance is a significant factor in the higher resolution and quality presets. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 232.8 FPS, suggesting that the CPU is not the limiting factor at this setting. However, as the resolution and graphical load increase, the GPU's workload becomes more demanding. The transition from 1080p to 4K at the High preset sees the average frame rate drop from 115.2 FPS to 41.7 FPS, a clear indicator that the RX 7600 XT is being stressed by the increased pixel count and shading requirements. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and 22.57 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are the primary drivers for rendering the game's simulated hardware.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling across resolutions provides clear insight into the system's balance. At the Low preset, the frame rate scales from 232.8 FPS at 1080p down to 148.1 FPS at 1440p, and further to 75.8 FPS at 4K. This represents a significant drop of 36.4% when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 48.8% drop when moving to 4K. This significant decline indicates that even at low graphical settings, the GPU is becoming a more prominent bottleneck as the resolution increases.

The scaling pattern changes with higher settings. At the Ultra preset, the system produces 109.2 FPS at 1080p, 72 FPS at 1440p, and 37 FPS at 4K. The performance drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34.1%, but the drop from 1440p to 4K is 48.6%. This steep decline at 4K Ultra underscores that the RX 7600 XT is the limiting component in this configuration for high-fidelity, high-resolution gameplay. Conversely, at 1080p, the high frame rates across all settings suggest the CPU, with its 14 cores and 20 threads, is sufficient to keep up with the GPU's output, and the system is more balanced at this resolution.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear hierarchy for optimizing the gameplay experience. For users targeting the highest possible frame rates, particularly on high refresh rate monitors, the Low preset at 1080p delivers an exceptional 232.8 FPS. This setting ensures the simulation runs with maximum fluidity, though visual fidelity will be reduced.

For a more balanced experience that maintains high performance, the Medium preset at 1440p is a strong option, producing an average of 105.8 FPS. This offers a significant visual upgrade over Low while still providing a frame rate that is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. At 1080p, the Medium preset also excels with 167.6 FPS.

The High preset presents an interesting case. At 1440p, it yields 71.6 FPS, which is nearly identical to the Ultra preset's 72 FPS. This suggests that the High and Ultra presets have a negligible performance difference at this resolution. Therefore, users can select Ultra at 1440p without a significant performance penalty for the highest visual quality. However, at 4K, the Ultra preset drops to 37 FPS, which is below the standard of smooth play. The High preset at 4K, with 41.7 FPS, is only marginally better. Based on the data, the Medium preset at 1440p or the Ultra preset at 1080p, which achieves 109.2 FPS, appear to be the most sensible choices for a high-quality experience without sacrificing playability.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the resolution demonstrates the system's peak performance capabilities. The Low preset achieves an average of 232.8 FPS, which is the highest score in the entire dataset. The Medium preset follows with 167.6 FPS, and the High preset delivers 115.2 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding at this resolution, producing an average of 109.2 FPS. The performance gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, representing a 53.1% decrease in frame rate.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but begin to show the GPU's workload. The Low preset averages 148.1 FPS, which is still an excellent result. The Medium preset provides 105.8 FPS, while the High and Ultra presets yield nearly identical performance, with 71.6 FPS and 72 FPS respectively. This plateau suggests that at 1440p, the CPU is no longer the primary bottleneck, and the GPU's rendering capabilities are being saturated at the higher quality settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. The Low preset is the only one that provides a playable experience, with an average of 75.8 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 53.3 FPS, and the High preset falls further to 41.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K produces the lowest result in the entire benchmark suite, with an average of 37 FPS. This data clearly shows that this configuration is not suited for 4K gaming with high or ultra settings, as the frame rate drops below the 60 FPS threshold, compromising the smoothness of the simulation.
