Pc Building Simulator

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile delivers a notably strong performance profile in Pc Building Simulator, a simulation title that scales in expected ways across resolutions and settings. Measured data shows this combination achieving playable frame rates at 4K Ultra, while at lower resolutions the frame rates reach levels that far exceed typical display refresh rates, indicating a system with substantial headroom. The benchmark results for this pairing were collected as measured data, providing a reliable basis for analysis. The following breakdown examines how this combo behaves across the tested resolution and settings matrix.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable but pronounced drop in performance as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 181 FPS at 1080p to 114 FPS at 1440p, a decrease of 37%. Moving from 1440p to 4K High, the frame rate drops further to 60 FPS, a 47% reduction. This scaling pattern is typical for a GPU-heavy title, but the magnitude of the drop at the 4K step suggests that the rendering load is growing at a rate faster than the raw pixel count increase.

At the Low preset, the resolution scaling is even steeper. The system delivers 345 FPS at 1080p Low, which drops to 228 FPS at 1440p Low, and then to 119 FPS at 4K Low. The 1080p to 1440p reduction is 34%, while the 1440p to 4K reduction is 48%. The fact that the Low preset still shows a 48% drop from 1440p to 4K indicates that even with minimal graphical effects, the sheer number of pixels at 4K imposes a substantial workload on the GPU. The RTX 5080 Mobile has 7680 shading units and a 256-bit memory bus with 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, yet the data shows that 4K remains a challenging target for very high frame rates.

The Medium preset, which is the only setting with min/max FPS data recorded, shows a similar trend. At 1080p Medium, the average is 256 FPS with a minimum of 218 FPS and a maximum of 295 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 162 FPS with a minimum of 137 FPS and a maximum of 186 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 85 FPS with a minimum of 72 FPS and a maximum of 97 FPS. The minimum frame rate at 4K Medium of 72 FPS is still comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, but it shows that the system is working harder at this resolution.

The Ultra preset shows the most constrained performance. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 172 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 109 FPS. At 4K Ultra, the average is 57 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target that many users consider the baseline for a smooth experience. The drop from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra is 52 FPS, a 48% reduction. This data suggests that at 4K Ultra, the GPU is the primary limiting component, and the frame rate is heavily dependent on the GPU's ability to process the high pixel count. The 4K Ultra result of 57 FPS is the only measured average below 60 FPS across all tested configurations, indicating that this is the point where the system's performance ceiling is reached.

The scaling behavior across all four settings presets shows that the GPU's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 23.04 TFLOPS of FP32 compute are sufficient to maintain high frame rates up to 1440p, but the transition to 4K imposes a significant penalty. The data suggests that for this title, the optimal balance between visual quality and frame rate is found at 1440p, where even Ultra settings maintain an average above 100 FPS.
