Performance Analysis: Minimum on Your System
Similar Performance Alternatives
The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 sits in a tight cluster of CPUs based on aggregate benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score of 21,484 places it within 0.7% of the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V (21,440, 0.2% faster), the Intel Core i9-11900H (21,367, 0.5% faster), and the Intel Xeon D-1746TER (21,635, 0.7% faster). The AMD EPYC 9454 trails by 1.2% with a score of 21,223. In practical terms, any of these processors would deliver nearly indistinguishable frame pacing in Minimum, as the CPU-side workload is not the limiting factor at most settings.
The Intel Arc B370 is a far more unusual case. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1,184 puts it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are all legacy mobile or low-end desktop parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1,186 (0.2% faster), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1,190 (0.5% faster), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1,192 (0.7% faster), and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1,168 (1.4% slower). The B370 is effectively in the same performance class as a decade-old entry-level discrete GPU, which explains why its measured frame rates in Minimum are so modest. For a system builder expecting modern integrated graphics performance, the data shows this part behaves like a low-end legacy GPU rather than a current-generation product.
How This Combo Ranks
Out of 3,712 tested CPU and GPU combinations in Minimum, this pairing ranks 3,425th. That places it in the bottom 8% of all recorded configurations, a result driven almost entirely by the GPU's weak absolute performance. The CPU itself is not the problem: the Ryzen 5 2600 sits in the 75th percentile among all CPUs, with a PassMark multithread score of 13,160 and a single-thread score of 2,239. But the Arc B370's 5th percentile GPU ranking drags the combined system down to near the bottom of the database's tested combos. The rank of 3,425 out of 3,712 means roughly 287 other combinations performed worse, and 3,424 performed better. For a game released in 2014, this is a surprisingly poor outcome, as even older hardware should typically clear 60 FPS at 1080p with ease. The data indicates that the B370 is the bottleneck across all resolutions and settings.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 3840x2160, the system fails to maintain playable frame rates at any preset. Low settings produce an average of 30 FPS, Medium drops to 23 FPS (with a recorded minimum of 19 and maximum of 26), High falls to 19 FPS, and Ultra reaches just 15 FPS. None of these come close to the 60 FPS threshold, and even the Low preset average is half of what would be considered playable.
At 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains below the playable threshold. Low settings average 55 FPS, which is just 5 FPS short of 60. Medium averages 42 FPS (minimum 36, maximum 48), High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 27 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 13 FPS, indicating a substantial settings cost, but even the best case at Low leaves the system on the wrong side of 60 FPS.
At 1920x1080, the system finally crosses the playable line at two presets. Low settings average 85 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 65 FPS (minimum 56, maximum 75), which clears the threshold but with a minimum dip below 60, suggesting occasional stutter. High averages 55 FPS, just under the line, and Ultra averages 42 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 85, 65, 55, 42, a steady decline that shows the GPU's limited headroom once settings scale up.
The Verdict
This PC can run Minimum, but only at 1920x1080 with Low or Medium settings, and even then the margin is thin. The verdict data lists both Low and Medium as playable at 1080p, with Medium being the best playable setting at an average of 65 FPS. Low is the safer choice for consistent performance, as it averages 85 FPS and leaves more headroom above the 60 FPS line. At 2560x1440, no settings are playable; the best case is Low at 55 FPS, which is 5 FPS short of the threshold. At 3840x2160, no settings are playable, with even Low averaging only 30 FPS. The system is therefore a 1080p-only machine for this game, and only at lower presets. The game's 2014 release date does not help: the GPU is simply too weak to push higher resolutions or higher quality levels.
CPU and GPU Roles
The data shows that the GPU is the dominant constraint at every resolution and preset. At 3840x2160, scaling from Low (30 FPS) to Ultra (15 FPS) represents a 50% drop in average frame rate, which is a purely GPU-bound behavior. The CPU's role is secondary; the Ryzen 5 2600 has ample headroom for a game of this era, as evidenced by its strong PassMark scores (13,160 multithread, 2,239 single-thread) and its 75th percentile CPU ranking. The GPU's 5th percentile ranking, by contrast, means it is one of the weakest parts in the database. Resolution scaling tells the same story: moving from 1080p Low (85 FPS) to 1440p Low (55 FPS) is a 30 FPS drop, and moving to 4K Low (30 FPS) is another 25 FPS drop. This is classic GPU-bound scaling, where pixel count directly drives frame rate. At 1080p, the CPU could potentially handle higher settings if the GPU were stronger, but the B370's frame rates collapse as settings increase, confirming that the GPU is the binding constraint. The CPU's performance is adequate across all tested configurations; there is no evidence of CPU bottlenecking in any recorded measurement.
FAQ
Q: Can this PC run Minimum at 1080p with Medium settings?
A: Yes. The recorded data shows an average of 65 FPS at 1920x1080 with Medium settings, with a minimum of 56 FPS and maximum of 75 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS playable threshold, though the minimum dips slightly below it.
Q: What is the best playable setting at 1920x1080?
A: Medium is the best playable setting, as it averages 65 FPS. Low averages 85 FPS and is also playable, but Medium offers higher visual quality while still averaging above 60 FPS.
Q: Why does this combo rank so low in the database?
A: The combo ranks 3,425th out of 3,712 tested combinations. This is primarily due to the Intel Arc B370's 5th percentile GPU ranking, which is comparable to legacy parts like the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 and ATI Radeon HD 5770. The CPU is not the limiting factor.
Q: How does the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 compare to its nearest rivals?
A: The Ryzen 5 2600 has an average benchmark score of 21,484. It is 0.2% slower than the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V, 0.5% slower than the Intel Core i9-11900H, 0.7% faster than the Intel Xeon D-1746TER, and 1.2% faster than the AMD EPYC 9454. These differences are negligible for gaming.
Q: Is 2560x1440 playable at any setting?
A: No. The best case at 2560x1440 is Low settings, which averages 55 FPS. This is 5 FPS short of the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium averages 42 FPS, High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 27 FPS.
Q: What resolution and settings combination gives the highest frame rate?
A: The highest recorded average frame rate is 85 FPS at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This is the only configuration in the measured data that exceeds 80 FPS average.
