How This Combo Ranks

The database shows this combination ranks 3516 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. That places it in the bottom 5.3% of all tested configurations. The rank reflects the combined capability of the Ryzen 5 4600G and Radeon RX 570 when running this specific title.

The CPU sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the GPU sits at the 74th percentile among all GPUs. Despite both components ranking above the median individually, the game's demands push this pair to the lower end of the overall combo distribution. This suggests Minimum is particularly demanding on the full system configuration, not just one component.

The measured frame rates confirm this positioning. The only playable results occur at 1080p on Low and Medium presets. At 1440p, the best case scenario is Low with 52.3 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS threshold by 12.8%. At 4K, no preset comes close to playability, with Ultra averaging 14.1 FPS and Low averaging 27.5 FPS.

The gap between the combo's percentile ranking and its in-game ranking highlights how game-specific performance can deviate from synthetic benchmarks. The Ryzen 5 4600G's multicore strength, evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593, does not translate into high frame rates in this title at higher resolutions. The GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases, which aligns with the RX 570's 4 GB GDDR5 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide context for what hardware would behave similarly in this game.

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 5 4600G's 17507. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6% lower. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, 0.6% higher. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, 0.8% higher. These four processors all sit within a 1.4% band of each other, meaning any of them would produce nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Minimum.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 6800M scores 28874, 0.4% higher than the RX 570's 28766. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28580, 0.7% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 470 scores 28996, 0.8% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 scores 28421, 1.2% lower. These four GPUs cluster within a 2% range, so swapping the RX 570 for any of them would produce similar frame rates.

A user with a Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE or Core 7 150U paired with an RX 470 or R9 M295X would see essentially the same performance as this combo. The delta percentages are small enough that the playability verdict would not change: 1080p Low and Medium remain playable, 1440p remains unplayable, and 4K remains far below the threshold.

The RX 470, in particular, shares the same Polaris architecture generation as the RX 570 (GCN 4.0) and has a nearly identical average score. The Quadro RTX 8000, despite being a professional-grade card, scores only 1.2% lower in the database's aggregate benchmark, though its driver optimizations may differ in real-world gaming scenarios.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows this system can run Minimum, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the playable settings are Low and Medium. Low averages 85 FPS, which is 41.7% above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 64.7 FPS, which is 7.8% above the threshold. Medium is the best playable setting, as it delivers the highest visual quality while still maintaining an average above 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, no settings achieve playable status. The closest is Low at 52.3 FPS, which falls 12.8% short of the threshold. Medium drops to 42.8 FPS, High to 32.1 FPS, and Ultra to 25.5 FPS. The verdict for 1440p is clear: this combo cannot sustain 60 FPS at any preset.

At 3840x2160, the situation is worse. Low averages 27.5 FPS, Medium 22.1 FPS, High 18.1 FPS, and Ultra 14.1 FPS. All four presets fall below 50% of the target frame rate, making 4K effectively unplayable with this hardware.

The practical takeaway: this system is a 1080p machine for Minimum, and only at Medium settings or below. Users targeting 1440p would need to accept frame rates in the 25-52 FPS range depending on preset, which falls short of smooth gameplay. The database's playable threshold of 60 FPS is not met at any resolution above 1080p.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals which component dominates in Minimum.

At 1080p, the CPU has more influence. The Ryzen 5 4600G's six cores and twelve threads, with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, provide enough headroom for the RX 570 to work near its limits. The jump from Low to Medium costs 20.3 FPS (85 to 64.7), and from Medium to High costs another 10.4 FPS (64.7 to 54.3). These are large drops for preset changes, indicating the GPU is becoming the constraint as settings increase.

At 1440p, the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck. The RX 570's 2048 shading units and 32 ROPs struggle with the increased pixel count. Low averages 52.3 FPS, which is 32.7 FPS lower than the same preset at 1080p. This 38.5% drop when moving from 1080p to 1440p demonstrates that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth (224.0 GB/s) are insufficient for higher resolutions.

At 4K, the GPU is overwhelmingly the limiting factor. The 1080p Low score of 85 FPS drops to 27.5 FPS at 4K Low, a 67.6% reduction. The 4K Ultra score of 14.1 FPS is only 16.6% of the 1080p Low score. The RX 570's 5.095 TFLOPS of FP32 performance cannot handle the 8.3 million pixels of 4K at playable rates.

The CPU's role diminishes as resolution rises. At 1080p, the Ryzen 5 4600G's single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1919) keeps the GPU fed. At 4K, the GPU's rendering workload dominates, and the CPU's headroom becomes irrelevant. The 65 W TDP of the CPU versus the 150 W TDP of the GPU also indicates where the power and performance burden lies.

Preset scaling further confirms this. At every resolution, the difference between Low and Ultra is substantial: 44.2 FPS at 1080p, 26.8 FPS at 1440p, and 13.4 FPS at 4K. The absolute gap narrows at higher resolutions because the GPU is already saturated, but the percentage drop remains severe.

Best Settings per Resolution

1920x1080: The best setting is Medium, which averages 64.7 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Low averages 85 FPS and is also playable, but Medium provides better visual quality while still clearing the threshold by 7.8%.

2560x1440: No settings are playable. The closest option is Low at 52.3 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS target. Medium averages 42.8 FPS, High 32.1 FPS, and Ultra 25.5 FPS. There is no best setting because none meet the playable threshold.

3840x2160: No settings are playable. Low averages 27.5 FPS, Medium 22.1 FPS, High 18.1 FPS, and Ultra 14.1 FPS. All presets fall below 50% of the 60 FPS target.

The database's verdict by resolution confirms this: playable settings exist only at 1920x1080, with the best settings being Medium and an average FPS of 64.7.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160 (4K UHD):

• Ultra: 14.1 average FPS
• High: 18.1 average FPS
• Medium: 22.1 average FPS
• Low: 27.5 average FPS

The gradient from Ultra to Low shows a 95.0% improvement in frame rate, but even the best case remains below 30 FPS. The RX 570's 4 GB memory and 256-bit bus cannot handle the bandwidth demands of 4K rendering in this title.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Ultra: 25.5 average FPS
• High: 32.1 average FPS
• Medium: 42.8 average FPS
• Low: 52.3 average FPS

Low comes closest to playability but still misses the threshold by 12.8%. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 48.9% drop in performance. Medium represents a reasonable middle ground for users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate, but it does not meet the playable standard.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Ultra: 40.8 average FPS
• High: 54.3 average FPS
• Medium: 64.7 average FPS
• Low: 85 average FPS

This is the only resolution where playable results exist. Low and Medium clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Low providing 41.7% headroom and Medium providing 7.8% headroom. High falls short by 9.5%, and Ultra misses by 32.0%. The 44.2 FPS gap between Low and Ultra represents a 51.9% performance reduction at the highest preset.

The measured data does not include minimum or maximum frame rates, so the averages represent the central tendency of performance. Users seeking consistent frame pacing should consider that average values can mask occasional dips, but the database recorded only average FPS for this combination.
