Archeage

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F sits in a tightly contested segment of the database. Its average benchmark score of 32,750 places it within a fraction of a percent of several competing processors. The Intel Core i5-14600T trails by a mere 0.1%, scoring 32,707, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is 0.2% behind at 32,697. On the other side, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H leads by 0.2% with a score of 32,812, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 sits 0.3% ahead at 32,662. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical compute performance in this game, making the choice between them largely irrelevant for Archeage frame rates.

For the Intel Arc B370, the situation is dramatically different. This integrated graphics solution scores only 1,184 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, which places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The nearest rivals are all legacy discrete parts from over a decade ago. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1,186, just 0.2% higher, while the ATI Radeon HD 5770 achieves 1,190, a 0.5% advantage. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M is 0.7% faster at 1,192, and the AMD FirePro M2000 is 1.4% slower at 1,168. The data implies that any system relying on this GPU will face severe limitations in modern gaming workloads, and swapping to any of these near-identical alternatives would not meaningfully change the outcome.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded measurements reveal a system where the GPU is the overwhelming bottleneck, and the CPU's capabilities are largely untapped. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 65 FPS, the only playable result in the entire dataset. Moving to Medium settings drops the average to 57 FPS, a 12% reduction. High settings fall further to 39 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 27 FPS. This scaling pattern across settings, while holding resolution constant, shows that graphical load is the primary factor limiting performance.

When resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the average FPS at Low settings drops from 65 to 43, a 34% decline. At Medium, the drop is from 57 to 39, a 32% reduction, and at High from 39 to 26, a 33% decrease. The consistency of these percentage reductions across settings strongly suggests the GPU is saturated at every configuration. At 3840x2160, the situation becomes critical: Low settings yield only 25 FPS, Medium drops to 22 FPS, High falls to 15 FPS, and Ultra manages just 10 FPS. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads on the Zen 4 architecture, would not be the limiting factor in any of these scenarios; the Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 20 ROPs are simply insufficient to drive higher frame rates as resolution and detail scale up.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no setting achieves the 60 FPS playability threshold. The highest recorded average is 25 FPS at Low settings, which falls far short. The verdict for this resolution lists no playable settings.

At 2560x1440, the same conclusion applies. No preset reaches 60 FPS, with Low settings producing the best result at 43 FPS. The database records no playable settings for this resolution either.

At 1920x1080, only one preset clears the 60 FPS bar. Low settings deliver an average of 65 FPS, which is the single playable configuration in the entire dataset. Medium settings come close at 57 FPS but miss the threshold. The best settings at this resolution are therefore Low, with an average FPS of 65.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Archeage at 4K resolution?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the highest average FPS recorded is 25 at Low settings, with Medium at 22, High at 15, and Ultra at 10. None of these approach the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Q: What is the best playable settings preset for this combo?

A: The only playable configuration in the entire dataset is 1920x1080 with Low settings, which produces an average of 65 FPS. No other resolution or preset combination reaches 60 FPS.

Q: How does the Intel Arc B370 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The Arc B370 scores 1,184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1,186 (0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1,190 (0.5% higher), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1,192 (0.7% higher), and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1,168 (1.4% lower). These differences are negligible in real-world gaming.

Q: At 2560x1440, which settings come closest to playable?

A: Low settings at 2560x1440 yield an average of 43 FPS, which is the best result at this resolution. Medium averages 39 FPS, High averages 26 FPS, and Ultra averages 18 FPS. All fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, Low settings average 65 FPS while Ultra averages 27 FPS. This represents a 58% reduction in average frame rate when moving from the lowest to the highest preset.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations?

A: The combo ranks 3,423 out of 3,708 tested combinations in Archeage, placing it in the bottom 8% of all systems in the database for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded averages are as follows: Low settings produce 25 FPS, Medium produces 22 FPS with a minimum of 19 and maximum of 25, High produces 15 FPS, and Ultra produces 10 FPS. The min and max values for Low, High, and Ultra were not recorded, so only averages are available for those presets.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 43 FPS, Medium averages 39 FPS with a range of 33 to 44, High averages 26 FPS, and Ultra averages 18 FPS. Again, min and max values are absent for Low, High, and Ultra.

At 1920x1080, Low settings average 65 FPS, Medium averages 57 FPS with a minimum of 49 and maximum of 66, High averages 39 FPS, and Ultra averages 27 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p is the only configuration in the entire dataset with both min and max values recorded, showing a spread of 17 FPS between the slowest and fastest frames.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3,423 out of 3,708 tested combinations for Archeage. This places the system in the 92nd percentile from the bottom, meaning only 285 combinations performed worse. The CPU itself is not the issue; its percentile rank among all CPUs is 83, indicating strong processing power. The GPU, however, sits in the 5th percentile among all GPUs, making it the clear limiting factor. The data shows a stark mismatch between the processor's capability and the graphics solution's output, and the overall combo rank reflects this GPU-bound reality.

The Verdict

This system can run Archeage, but only under very specific conditions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 65 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playability threshold. This is the sole playable configuration in the dataset. At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS, with the best result being 43 FPS at Low settings. At 3840x2160, the situation is even worse, capped at 25 FPS on Low. The verdict by resolution confirms that 1920x1080 with Low settings is the only playable option, delivering 65 FPS. Players who accept Medium settings will see an average of 57 FPS, just below the threshold, while anything above Low at higher resolutions results in a sub-30 FPS experience. The data is unambiguous: the Intel Arc B370 cannot provide a playable frame rate at higher presets or resolutions, and the Ryzen 5 7400F, for all its compute power, remains underutilized throughout the measurements.
