PC Building Simulator 2 now includes 3DMark Speed Way so you can test your virtual PC

PC Building Simulator 2 is a game where you build, repair, and create custom PCs using real-world components from companies like MSI, Cooler Master, ASRock, and more. From GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards to next-gen motherboards, cases, and cooling solutions, it's all here.

With over 40 hardware brands and 1200+ components, you can even tweak things like memory timings and overclock your GPU to boost performance. Yes, it's a game, or a simulation, but PC Building Simulator 2 is all about presenting a realistic building experience right down to adjusting fan speeds and RGB lighting. And the included Career Mode is designed to teach you all about the building and repair process.

The latest addition to PC Building Simulator 2 is an interesting one, as it opens the door to benchmarking with accurate results using the popular 3DMark Speed Way test. 3DMark developer UL Solutions has partnered with PC Building Simulator 2's Spiral House to let you install 3DMark Speed Way on the PCs you build in the game, run the benchmark, and get "accurate 3DMark Speed Way results."

Yes, virtual benchmarks are here, and yes, it is a little weird that you can run 3DMark on a custom PC that doesn't exist in the real world. However, as a simulation, PC Building Simulator 2 is widely praised for its accuracy and attention to detail, so it's very cool to see 3DMark become a part of the experience. Synthetic 3DMark benchmarks can be found in nearly every modern GPU review, including ours, and it's a go-to tool for many gamers looking to push their rig to the limit.

Alongside virtual synthetic benchmarks with accurate results, this update to the game also introduces 3DMark-themed hardware and gear to unlock. PC Building Simulator 2 is available on the Epic Games Store (as an Epic-published title, it's not available on Steam), where it's currently on sale.
