increasing 3dmark score?

[BowdonUK]

I've not had much experience with this program. But how do we find out which part, the cpu or the gpu, needs to be upgraded to increase the score?

[Yukari The Alpaca]

Score is increased by both GPU and CPU, like the real program. I usually upgrade whichever has the lower individual score.

if you use for cpu 2+2+2+2 ram it's better than 8 GB ram or 4+4 you get better score on cpu pro tip, under 3dmark score you have score gpu and cpu ;]

I think that there may be a display suggesting to replace either (or both) the CPU / GPU as "Score Up Hint" on the benchmark result screen.
With respect to a request with a "target score", if you do not know "how much rank parts are needed to achieve it", players are wasted due to insufficient parts or excessively high performance parts We will use funds.

[Siopao]

take note of the target score. look at his existing cpu and gpu score on ranks software (cpu+gpu). choose what to upgrade (gpu or cpu) that is more affordable that can manage the target score (again, you can see this on ranks) To make it easy for you, put the highest rank card in the system, run benchmark, then remove the high rank card and put back his existing card.

There's no way to actually know exactly which part needs upgrading. That's why these types of jobs give the most experience reward when you get it correctly because it actually involves you using your brain and knowing computer knowledge of how computers and benchmarks work to solve it correctly. Usually you can throw the biggest gpu available at it and guarantee it'll pass though.

Ram - speed mhz (2133-3000) More the better
Cpu - not the mhz (but the newer version ) Explain (g3900 replace for the g4200) enc enc
Gpu - not mhz (the game is not fit with that its more the vram the better the score)
Psu - nothing
Hdd - nothing
Mainbord - Unless you want to change everything on it. The same sockets boards do not increase score. Buy always the cheap mainbord.

I hope the adres this later because its not accurate but stil lfun.

truth is both increase it, rather than knowing which of the CPU or the GPU to increase its often more a case of which is going to cost more. first thing benchmark the system find out what it currently scores.

if its really low amount a change of ram (either more mhz speeed ram or even just another 2sticks of the same stuff in the case) will do the job

if its much more, check which cpu is in already, check if that cpu is the highest it can be (how many cpus in the range above it) using the part ranking software as the guide for that, if the computer is socket AM4 as a example and your CPU is top of that socket, then you need to cost up both a motherboard change, and compare that to just increasing the GPU alone

sometimes a step upwards for both the cpu.gpu both just one step higher will do, i often in later game use my inventory stock, i might have a cpu in my inventory for the socket the customer has, and i can upgrade his cpu without buying anything, or visa versa but with gpu (often in this example my inventory stock vs score required = overkill but no costs to me)

thats the best way to go around things...

average scores will increase in ranges, so we can say a 980 can score around 3K, a 1080 can score 7K and so forth, but you can never even in real life just pick a set of hardware and obtain a set score, theres always variations.

sometimes when the cpu is already the best it can be without a socket change, you will often need to just simply go overkill on the GPU to shove it over the required score, just the nature of the beast

if the upgrade cost is obviously to high to achieve the score in any direction, tell the customer to jog on lmao

I know this post reply is old, but I'm just starting the game and wanted to point out that many of us coming to PC Building Simulator have little to no experience building PC's -- we're curious and/or want to learn more, which is why we buy the game. I've never benchmarked any computer I've owned, despite having started using computers back before Windows even came out -- my first computer was a Commodore 64. I consider myself a power user, but the hardware side is something I have never delved into, until now (with this game). So expecting the player to just "know" how to do this, or even to figure it out, without any guidelines or instructions, is unfair of the game. At the beginning, there is a short "How to build a PC," which I completed, and the language is directed toward the total beginner: the case holds the components, the fans cool the parts, etc. Anyone experienced enough with computer building would know these things, like kindergarten level. Yet later we're expected to just "know" how to resolve benchmark problems. This is poor design on the developers part: they clearly do not understand their audience. Either the audience is total beginners, or experienced PC builders. Not both.

There have been many times in my few hours of playing so far, where I've had to rely on my smattering of PC-building knowledge (my husband is a former professional PC tech and has built many computers, and he walked me through building my current gaming rig) in order to know what to do.

The game is pretty accurate, according to PC building experts (see reviews), but not totally, and that's understandable. Not providing adequate instructions -- or even hints, in this case -- for beginners who aren't familiar with building PC's....that is inexcusable.

I just wanted to reply and inform you that my earlier comment was back in 2018, over 2 years ago. I was a bit of a rude person back then and I've changed now. I know I was kinda.. not very nice in that comment. I don't reply like that today.

So, sorry about that. You already quoted me so I can't edit or delete that or I would.
