Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B570 shows a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and presets in Minimum. At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 145 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure for this combination. Medium settings average 111 FPS, with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 128 FPS. High settings drop to 93 FPS on average, while Ultra still maintains 71 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, every preset clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with substantial margin.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance curve shifts downward but remains playable across most presets. Low settings average 94 FPS. Medium settings average 72 FPS, with a minimum of 61 FPS and a maximum of 82 FPS. High settings land exactly at 60 FPS on average. Ultra falls below the threshold at 46 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 35% of the average frame rate at Low settings, from 145 FPS down to 94 FPS. At High settings, the drop is more severe: 93 FPS at 1080p becomes 60 FPS at 1440p, a 35% reduction as well.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playable frame rates at any preset. Low settings average 50 FPS, which is the best result at this resolution. Medium settings average 39 FPS, with a minimum of 33 FPS and a maximum of 44 FPS. High settings average 32 FPS. Ultra settings average 25 FPS, the lowest recorded figure in the entire dataset. The gap between 1440p and 4K is substantial: Low settings drop from 94 FPS to 50 FPS, a 47% reduction. Medium settings drop from 72 FPS to 39 FPS, a 46% reduction. These numbers demonstrate that 4K resolution is beyond the practical reach of this hardware configuration for Minimum.

The dataset only includes min and max values for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 1920x1080 Medium, the 95 FPS minimum still sits well above the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440 Medium, the 61 FPS minimum barely clears the threshold, indicating that occasional dips could approach the boundary. At 3840x2160 Medium, the 33 FPS minimum reflects the overall unplayable nature of 4K for this game with this hardware.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU portion of this configuration, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600, sits at the 71st percentile among all tested processors in the database. Its average benchmark score of 17035 places it in close company with several alternatives. The Intel Core i7-1260P achieves an average score of 17007, a delta of 0.2% relative to the Ryzen 5 3600, meaning the two are effectively interchangeable in compute-heavy scenarios. The Intel Core i5-11400 scores 17067, a delta of -0.2%, again a negligible difference. Two AMD EPYC server chips also appear in the nearest rivals list: the EPYC 7573X at 17070 and the EPYC 7742 at 16998, both within 0.2% of the Ryzen 5 3600. For gaming performance in Minimum, these rivals would deliver nearly identical frame rates when paired with the same GPU, since the CPU is not the limiting factor at most settings.

The GPU side, the Intel Arc B570, ranks at the 65th percentile among all tested GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 20556 places it near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 20534 for a delta of 0.1%. The Intel Arc A750 is the closest competitor at 20582, a delta of -0.1%. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, a delta of 0.4%, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, a delta of -0.5%. In practice, any of these GPUs would produce similar frame rates in Minimum at the same resolution and settings, assuming the CPU can keep up. Given the measured FPS data, the Arc B570 is the performance anchor at 4K, while at 1080p the CPU and GPU together deliver the high frame rates recorded.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database records the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS at each resolution. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings achieve an average of 71 FPS, making it the best playable preset. This is the highest preset tier available in the measurements, and it clears the threshold by 11 FPS. Lower presets also qualify, but Ultra represents the optimal visual quality while remaining playable.

At 2560x1440, High settings produce an average of 60 FPS exactly, which is the boundary condition for playability. This makes High the best settings preset at this resolution. Medium also qualifies at 72 FPS, and Low at 94 FPS, but High offers the best visual fidelity among those that stay at or above 60 FPS. The exact 60 FPS average at High suggests that any additional load, such as heavier scenes in the game, could push the frame rate below the threshold, but the recorded average supports its inclusion as playable.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings average 50 FPS, Medium averages 39 FPS, High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 25 FPS. The verdict data confirms this: the playable settings list for 4K is empty, meaning the best settings value is null. For users targeting 4K, this hardware combination cannot deliver a playable experience at any preset in Minimum.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum, but the answer depends heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the verdict is a clear yes. Every preset, from Low at 145 FPS to Ultra at 71 FPS, exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold. Users can select Ultra settings and still enjoy a comfortable margin above the minimum requirement. The 1080p data shows no weak points.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is a conditional yes. Three presets qualify as playable: Low at 94 FPS, Medium at 72 FPS, and High at 60 FPS. The best settings preset is High, but it sits exactly at the threshold. Medium offers a safer margin with 72 FPS average and a minimum of 61 FPS, making it the more robust choice for consistent gameplay. Ultra at 46 FPS is not playable.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is no. The best recorded average is 50 FPS at Low settings, which falls 10 FPS short of the threshold. Medium at 39 FPS, High at 32 FPS, and Ultra at 25 FPS all fall further behind. The verdict data lists no playable settings for 4K, confirming that this resolution is not viable for this game with this hardware.

Overall, this combination is best suited for 1080p gaming and can handle 1440p with adjusted settings. 4K is out of reach.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Minimum, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2984 out of 3712 tested combos. This places it in the lower portion of the distribution, in the 20th percentile among all recorded configurations. The rank reflects the fact that the GPU, while competent at 1080p, cannot drive high frame rates at higher resolutions. The CPU, despite being a capable six-core, twelve-thread processor at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, does not compensate for the GPU limits at 4K.

The rank of 2984 of 3712 means that about three-quarters of tested combinations deliver better overall performance in this game. This is consistent with the measured FPS data: the system clears the playable threshold at 1080p across all presets and at 1440p for most presets, but fails at 4K entirely. The combination is functional but not exceptional within the broader database context.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU provides sufficient headroom at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system produces 145 FPS at Low settings and 71 FPS at Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is a 51% reduction, which is driven by the GPU handling increased rendering load. The CPU, with its 71st percentile standing and scores like 15045 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2124 in single-core, has ample compute capacity to feed the GPU at these frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates drop across all presets: 94 FPS at Low, 72 FPS at Medium, 60 FPS at High, and 46 FPS at Ultra. The reduction from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is 35%, and from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra is 35% as well. This consistent scaling points to the GPU as the bottleneck, since the CPU workload in Minimum does not change substantially with resolution. The rendering resolution increase puts more pressure on the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth, which are the Arc B570's constraints.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The best average is 50 FPS at Low settings, and the scaling from 1440p Low to 4K Low is a 47% reduction. The Arc B570 has 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus with 380.0 GB/s bandwidth, and a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s. At 4K, the sheer number of pixels exceeds what this GPU can process at 60 FPS, regardless of the CPU's capability. The CPU's role becomes secondary: even with its six cores and twelve threads, it cannot overcome the GPU's rendering limit at this resolution.

The preset scaling at each resolution also illustrates the GPU's dominance. At 4K, going from Low to Ultra reduces the average from 50 FPS to 25 FPS, a 50% drop. At 1440p, the same preset range drops from 94 FPS to 46 FPS, a 51% drop. At 1080p, it drops from 145 FPS to 71 FPS, a 51% drop. The consistency of this roughly 50% reduction across all resolutions indicates that the GPU's render load scales predictably with preset quality, while the CPU maintains stable performance. In summary, the Ryzen 5 3600 is sufficient for this game, and the Intel Arc B570 determines the playable resolution ceiling.
