Pc Building Simulator

Pc Building Simulator pairs the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, a combination that achieves a rank of 908 out of 3002 tested combos in this simulation title. The data shows a system that delivers strong 1440p performance and very high refresh rates at 1080p, but it faces a significant challenge at 4K Ultra settings where frame rates dip below the 60 FPS threshold.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a 24-core, 24-thread mobile processor based on the Arrow Lake-HX architecture, built on a 3 nm TSMC process. It operates with a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a TDP of 55 W. This is a high-core-count part designed for heavy multi-threaded workloads, and its benchmark results reflect that positioning: the Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 35589, while the single-core score is 2204. The Geekbench multi-core score reaches 20795 with a single-core score of 2458.

The CPU's performance percentile versus all processors is 94, placing it in the top tier of available parts. Its average benchmark score of 67469 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals: the Intel Xeon w5-3525 scores 67673 (0.3% higher), the AMD EPYC 4484PX scores 67822 (0.5% higher), and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX scores 67868 (0.6% higher). The Intel Xeon 6515P sits 0.7% behind at 67006. This clustering indicates that the Ultra 9 275HX is operating at the very top of CPU performance, though it does not hold the absolute lead.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is less about raw frame generation and more about maintaining simulation logic and system responsiveness. The game's genre is Simulation, which typically involves complex state tracking and physics calculations that can benefit from high multi-threaded throughput. The 24-core configuration provides substantial headroom for these background tasks, and the high boost clock of 5.40 GHz ensures that single-threaded operations, such as UI interactions or specific game logic threads, complete quickly. The data suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo; at 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 337 FPS, which is far beyond what most displays can show and indicates that the processor can feed the GPU at extreme rates.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm TSMC process and features the AD103 chip. It has a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz, with memory running at 1400 MHz (22.4 Gbps effective). The GPU is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. This large VRAM pool is particularly relevant for a simulation game like Pc Building Simulator, which may hold many assets in memory as players construct and modify systems.

The RTX 4080's benchmark data shows a percentile versus all GPUs of 86, with an average benchmark score of 54247. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, scores 54209 (0.1% higher), while the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828 (1.1% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698 (2.6% higher), and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757 (2.7% higher). This places the RTX 4080 slightly below some competitors in aggregate GPU benchmarks, but the measured FPS data in this game tells a more specific story.

The GPU's compute capabilities are substantial, with an FP32 performance of 48.74 TFLOPS and a texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s. These specifications translate directly to the frame rates observed in Pc Building Simulator. At 1440p High settings, the combo produces 106 FPS, which is a solid result for a simulation title that is not typically as demanding as first-person shooters. The 16 GB VRAM is unlikely to be a bottleneck at any of the tested resolutions, as even the highest settings at 4K only require the GPU to manage moderate asset loads.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent scaling pattern across resolutions, which reveals the nature of the performance bottleneck. At 1080p High settings, the combo delivers 169 FPS. Moving to 1440p High drops this to 106 FPS, a reduction of 37%. At 4K High, the frame rate falls to 56 FPS, which is another 47% drop from 1440p. This pattern indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more stressed as resolution increases, which is expected.

However, the low settings at each resolution tell a different story about the CPU's headroom. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 337 FPS, which is an extremely high frame rate that suggests the CPU is capable of far more than the GPU can render. At 1440p Low, the frame rate drops to 213 FPS, and at 4K Low, it falls to 111 FPS. The scaling from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is a 37% drop, and from 1440p Low to 4K Low is a 48% drop, which closely mirrors the pattern seen at High settings.

This consistent scaling across all settings points to the GPU as the primary limiting component. The CPU, with its 24 cores and high boost clock, maintains its ability to process game logic even at the highest frame rates, as evidenced by the 337 FPS result at 1080p Low. The GPU's workload scales directly with pixel count, and the RTX 4080's performance falls off accordingly. At 4K Ultra, the combo produces only 53 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target that many gamers consider standard. This suggests that for 4K gaming in Pc Building Simulator, the GPU is the bottleneck, and users seeking higher frame rates would need to reduce settings or resolution.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 achieves a rank of 908 out of 3002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. This places the system in the 70th percentile of all tested combinations, meaning it outperforms roughly 70% of the combos in the database. This is a respectable position, but it is not a top-tier ranking.

The rank reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU. The Ultra 9 275HX is a high-end mobile processor, but it is not the absolute fastest CPU available, as its nearest rivals show scores within 0.7% of its own. The RTX 4080 is similarly positioned, with its nearest rivals scoring within 2.7% of its average. When paired together, they produce a system that is clearly capable but not at the very top of the performance spectrum.

The fact that the combo ranks 908 out of 3002 suggests that there are 907 other combinations that perform better in this specific game. These higher-ranked combos likely feature faster desktop CPUs or GPUs, as the Ultra 9 275HX is a mobile part despite its high performance. The gap between the 70th percentile and the top of the rankings indicates that while this system is more than adequate for most users, it does not represent the absolute best possible performance in Pc Building Simulator. The data shows a system that delivers strong 1440p performance and very high refresh rates at 1080p, but it faces a significant challenge at 4K Ultra settings where frame rates dip below the 60 FPS threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 337 FPS, which is the highest result in the entire dataset. Medium settings yield 239 FPS, with a minimum of 203 FPS and a maximum of 275 FPS. High settings drop to 169 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 161 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is a 52% reduction, from 337 FPS to 161 FPS, showing that the settings have a significant impact on GPU workload.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a more pronounced drop. Low settings average 213 FPS, Medium settings average 151 FPS (with a range of 128 to 173 FPS), High settings average 106 FPS, and Ultra settings average 101 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 1440p is minimal, only 5 FPS, which suggests that the Ultra preset does not add a substantial GPU burden over High at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more demanding. Low settings still deliver a playable 111 FPS, but Medium settings drop to 79 FPS (with a range of 67 to 91 FPS). High settings fall to 56 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 53 FPS. The scaling from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra is a 48% reduction, from 101 FPS to 53 FPS, which aligns with the increased pixel count. At 4K, the system only remains above 60 FPS on Low settings, indicating that higher settings require a more powerful GPU.
