Pc Building Simulator

PC Building Simulator on the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile is a playable but distinctly GPU-bound pairing. Benchmark results indicate the combination lands at rank 2985 out of 3723 tested combos for this title — a lower-tier placement driven almost entirely by the graphics side, since the CPU itself sits in the 83rd percentile of all processors. The headline numbers: 196 FPS at 1080p Low on the top end, and just 31 FPS at 4K Ultra on the bottom. Between those poles lies a clear and consistent scaling story.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a textbook GPU-limited progression across all four presets. At Low settings, average FPS falls from 196 at 1920x1080 to 124 at 2560x1440 and 65 at 3840x2160. That is a drop of roughly a third when moving to 1440p and roughly two thirds when moving to 4K — a proportional decline close to what pure pixel-count math would predict. When frame rates fall in near-lockstep with resolution, the graphics subsystem is the bottleneck; a CPU-limited configuration would hold frame rates flat as resolution climbs.

The same pattern holds at the demanding end of the settings range. Ultra delivers 93 FPS at 1080p, 59 at 1440p, and 31 at 4K. High tracks nearly identically at 98, 62, and 32 FPS, while Medium sits at 139, 88, and 46. The tight clustering of High and Ultra at every resolution is telling: the heaviest preset costs only a handful of frames over High, meaning the big visual trade-off happens between Medium and High, not between High and Ultra.

The Medium preset is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum frame rates, and those ranges are informative. At 1080p Medium the range runs from 118 to 160; at 1440p, 74 to 101; at 4K, 39 to 53. The minimum values at 4K Medium stay close to the average, indicating frame delivery is relatively stable rather than spiky — good news for playability even when the average is modest.

The verdict from the scaling data: this game pushes the RTX 5050 Mobile hard at native 4K, where nothing above roughly 46 FPS is achievable even at Medium. At 1440p the GPU delivers solidly at Medium and stays above 59 FPS at Ultra. At 1080p everything is smooth, including Ultra.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile is a Blackwell 2.0 part built on TSMC's 5 nm process, with a 149 mm² die packing 16,900 million transistors at a density of 113.4M per mm². It is an entry-position mobile chip: 2560 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, 32 render outputs, 20 RT cores, and 80 tensor cores. Compute output is rated at 7.680 TFLOPS FP32, with FP16 running at a 1:1 ratio for the same figure. Pixel fill rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate is 120.0 GTexel/s.

Its aggregate standing is mid-pack: the card sits in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 43268. Notably, its nearest rivals by that metric include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262, deltaPct 0), the Quadro M6000 (43301, -0.1), the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (43223, +0.1), and the GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (43667, -0.9). The deltaPct values here are essentially zero across the board, which signals the aggregate score blends very different chips into a similar band; per-game results are where the separation shows.

VRAM is where the 4K story is written. The card carries 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, clocked at 1500 MHz with 24 Gbps effective throughput for 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth. That bandwidth is generous for the class, but the capacity and bus width are the constraint at 3840x2160, where average frame rates sit in the low thirties at High and Ultra. Core clocks run from a 1020 MHz base to a 1500 MHz boost — modest figures that translate directly into the observed ceiling at high resolutions.

Direct synthetic results reinforce the positioning: 2365 in 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12) and 84171 in Geekbench OpenCL. API support is current — DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6 — so compatibility is not a factor in these results. PCIe 5.0 x16 handles host communication. For a 2019 simulation title, the GPU is clearly the limiting component at every resolution above 1080p.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is the strong half of this pairing. A Meteor Lake design on Intel's 7 nm process, it brings 16 cores and 22 threads with a 3.80 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost clock, in a 28 W envelope on the Intel BGA 2049 socket. Cache allocation is 112 KB of L1 and 2 MB of L2 per core with a 24 MB shared L3. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel bus delivering 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth, and the chip includes Arc Xe-LPG 128EU integrated graphics with PCIe Gen 5 across 8 CPU lanes.

Its benchmark pedigree is substantial for a mobile part: 2450 in Cinebench R15 multi-core and 255 single-core, 8754 and 1235 in R20, and 15028 and 1743 in R23. PassMark results include 24873 multithreaded, 3468 single-thread, 1727 physics, 86870 integer math, 63703 floating point, 277353 data compression, and 16358 encryption. The 83rd percentile placement against all CPUs matches the GPU's percentile exactly, but the practical meaning differs — in this game the CPU is never the constraint.

The nearest-rival list confirms balanced competitiveness: the Intel Core i5-14600T averages 32707 (deltaPct 0), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 sits at 32662 (0.1), the Ryzen 5 7400F at 32750 (-0.2), and the Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H at 32812 (-0.4). All deltas are within a fraction of a percent of the 155H's 32697 average, so processor-side substitutions in this performance band would move nothing in PC Building Simulator. The single-thread strength matters most for a simulation game of this type, and 1743 in R23 single-core plus 3468 in PassMark single-thread indicates more than enough per-core speed to feed the RTX 5050 Mobile. The data shows no CPU ceiling anywhere in the measured rows — frame rates scale with resolution and settings, not with logic load.

A: The combination ranks 2985 out of 3723 tested combos — a placement consistent with an entry-tier mobile GPU paired with a strong mobile CPU.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows point to three clear recommendations depending on the target resolution.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is the correct choice. It averages 93 FPS, only five frames below High's 98, and the negligible cost means there is no rational reason to step down. Even demanding users can consider that Medium at 139 FPS and Low at 196 FPS exist if a high-refresh display demands them, but the data indicates Ultra is effectively free at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Medium is the balanced pick. Its 88 FPS average with a 74 FPS minimum keeps motion fluid, while Ultra's 59 and High's 62 both sit at the edge of comfortable play. Users prioritizing visual quality can take High or Ultra and still stay near sixty frames; users prioritizing smoothness should stay at Medium.

At 3840x2160, Low or Medium are the only defensible presets. Low averages 65 FPS; Medium averages 46 with a 39 minimum. High (32) and Ultra (31) are not viable for standard play. The narrow gap between High and Ultra at every resolution — 98 versus 93 at 1080p, 62 versus 59 at 1440p, 32 versus 31 at 4K — means that when High is playable, Ultra usually is too, and when High fails, Ultra offers nothing better.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All figures below are measured averages (FPS) for PC Building Simulator on the Core Ultra 7 155H + RTX 5050 Mobile.

1920x1080:

• Low — 196
• Medium — 139 (min 118, max 160)
• High — 98
• Ultra — 93

2560x1440:

• Low — 124
• Medium — 88 (min 74, max 101)
• High — 62
• Ultra — 59

3840x2160:

• Low — 65
• Medium — 46 (min 39, max 53)
• High — 32
• Ultra — 31

Reading across the rows: the step from Low to Medium costs roughly 30 percent of frame rate at every resolution; Medium to High costs roughly another 30 percent; High to Ultra costs almost nothing, never more than a handful of frames. Reading down the columns: each resolution doubling roughly halves throughput, confirming graphics-bound behavior throughout. The combo's rank of 2985 out of 3723 for this game reflects the GPU's limits, not the processor's — and the practical takeaway is that 1080p at Ultra and 1440p at Medium are where this configuration delivers its best experience.
