Minecraft

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Minecraft on this AMD Ryzen 5 5600F with Intel Arc B370 combination shows a clear pattern: the CPU delivers strong single-thread throughput, while the integrated GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution and preset load increase. At 1920x1080, the combo is firmly in playable territory across every preset, with the average frame rate never dropping below 77 FPS. The Low preset produces an average of 195 FPS, Medium lands at 155 FPS, and High matches the Ultra preset at 123 FPS and 77 FPS respectively. The Medium preset also has recorded minimum and maximum values of 131 FPS and 178 FPS, indicating a stable frame window with no severe dips.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains respectable but the gap between presets widens. Low averages 123 FPS, Medium averages 98 FPS with minimum and maximum readings of 83 FPS and 112 FPS, and High averages 77 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold, averaging only 48 FPS. At 3840x2160, the situation becomes more constrained. Low averages 64 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold, Medium averages 51 FPS with a recorded range of 43 FPS to 59 FPS, High averages 40 FPS, and Ultra drops to 25 FPS. The data shows that this configuration is resolution-sensitive, with 4K limiting the user to the Low preset for a consistent 60 FPS experience.

The absence of minimum and maximum readings on several presets in the database reflects that only the average was captured for those settings, not that performance was unstable. Where min/max values do exist, such as the Medium preset at 1080p and 1440p, the frame pacing appears consistent. At 1080p Medium, the spread from 131 FPS to 178 FPS around a 155 FPS average is reasonable. At 1440p Medium, the spread from 83 FPS to 112 FPS around a 98 FPS average is similarly tight. The Ultra preset at 1080p averages 77 FPS, which is identical to the High preset at 1440p, highlighting how resolution and preset trade-offs interact.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F performs nearly identically to several other CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 36945 is essentially tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 at 36938, a difference of 0%. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018, which is 0.2% higher, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093, 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112, 0.5% higher. For gaming workloads that rely on single-thread performance, the Ryzen 5 5600F has a PassMark single-thread score of 2872, which aligns with its position among these rivals. Users upgrading from any of these CPUs would see negligible differences in Minecraft frame rates, as the GPU is the primary constraint in most presets.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B370 is an integrated solution with a benchmark score of 1184, placing it at the 5th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all older discrete or mobile parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1186 (0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190 (0.5% higher), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1192 (0.7% higher), and the AMD FirePro M2000 at 1168 (1.4% lower). These deltas are all within 1.4%, meaning the Arc B370 would deliver frame rates very close to those older cards. However, the Arc B370's integrated nature means it shares system memory, and its performance characteristics in Minecraft are defined by the measured FPS data rather than raw benchmark comparisons alone.

For Minecraft specifically, the measured FPS at 1080p Low (195 FPS) shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck at lower settings. The GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher presets and resolutions, as evidenced by the 4K Ultra result of 25 FPS. The nearest GPU rivals, all scoring within 1.4% of the Arc B370, would likely produce similar FPS values in the same scenarios, though the database does not include direct game measurements for those parts.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minecraft, but the playable range depends heavily on resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable. The database's verdictByResolution lists High, Low, Medium, and Ultra as playable settings, with the best playable preset being Ultra at an average of 77 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable margin.

At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: High, Low, and Medium. The best playable preset is High at 77 FPS average. Ultra at this resolution averages 48 FPS, which falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. Users who want to play at 1440p should stick to High or lower.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset is playable, averaging 64 FPS. This is barely above the 60 FPS threshold, so users should expect occasional frame rate variation. Medium at 4K averages 51 FPS, High averages 40 FPS, and Ultra averages 25 FPS, all below the playable threshold. The verdict is straightforward: this is a 1080p machine for Minecraft, capable of 1440p at medium to high settings, and only usable at 4K with the lowest preset.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 77 FPS. This is the recommended setting for full visual quality at this resolution. The Medium preset offers 155 FPS average with a recorded range of 131 FPS to 178 FPS, which is ideal for users with high refresh rate monitors, but the Ultra preset remains the best balance of quality and performance.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding playable preset is High, averaging 77 FPS. Medium averages 98 FPS and Low averages 123 FPS, but High provides the best visual fidelity while still clearing the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra at 1440p averages 48 FPS and should be avoided.

At 3840x2160, the only preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 64 FPS. This is the recommended setting for 4K. Medium averages 51 FPS, which is close but below the threshold, and the database records its minimum at 43 FPS, meaning dips below 60 FPS would be frequent. High at 40 FPS and Ultra at 25 FPS are not viable for smooth play.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's ranking of tested CPU and GPU combinations for Minecraft, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3408 out of 3710 tested combos. This places it in the lower portion of the distribution, which aligns with the integrated GPU's 5th percentile standing among all GPUs. The CPU is not the limiting factor; the Ryzen 5 5600F sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, so the ranking is dragged down by the GPU's modest performance.

The rank of 3408 out of 3710 means that approximately 92% of tested combos outperform this configuration in Minecraft. This is expected for a system relying on an integrated GPU, even one with a modern architecture like the Xe3-LPG in the Arc B370. The measured frame rates at 1080p are still playable, but the combo's overall standing reflects that many discrete GPU configurations deliver higher averages, particularly at higher resolutions and presets. Users should interpret this rank as a measure of raw performance potential rather than playability, since the system does clear the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p across all presets and at 1440p up to High settings.
