Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this AMD Ryzen 5 4600G plus Intel Arc B370 combination shows a clear pattern: playable performance exists only at 1920x1080, and even then only at the lower two presets. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are 19 FPS on High, 30 FPS on Low, 23 FPS on Medium, and 15 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 4K is the only one with complete min/max data, showing a minimum of 19 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS. These numbers are all far below the 60 FPS playability threshold used in the database.

Moving down to 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains firmly in non-playable territory. The High preset averages 35 FPS, Low averages 55 FPS, Medium averages 42 FPS, and Ultra averages 27 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p records a minimum of 36 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS, indicating that even the best-case scenario stays well under 60 FPS. No preset at this resolution comes close to clearing the playable threshold.

At 1920x1080, the data finally shows usable results. The Low preset averages 85 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure across all resolutions and settings. Medium averages 65 FPS with a minimum of 56 FPS and a maximum of 75 FPS, just barely clearing the 60 FPS threshold on average. High averages 55 FPS, missing the threshold by a small margin, while Ultra averages 42 FPS. The 1080p Medium preset is the most demanding configuration in the entire dataset that still maintains an average above 60 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals that this game is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, but the CPU begins to matter more as resolution drops. The transition from 3840x2160 to 2560x1440 at Medium settings improves the average from 23 FPS to 42 FPS, a jump of 19 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 1080p at Medium improves further from 42 FPS to 65 FPS, another 23 FPS gain. This consistent improvement as pixel count decreases indicates that the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting factor at 4K and 1440p.

At 1080p, the gap between Low and Medium is 20 FPS (85 vs 65), while the gap between Medium and High is only 10 FPS (65 vs 55). The relatively small difference between Medium and High at 1080p suggests that the CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, can feed the GPU adequately at this resolution but the GPU itself is nearing its ceiling. The Ryzen 5 4600G's single-thread performance, as indicated by its 3DMark single-thread score of 726, is moderate, which could explain why the High preset at 1080p cannot reach 60 FPS while Medium can.

The Ultra preset at every resolution shows the largest drop-off. At 4K, Ultra averages 15 FPS versus Medium's 23 FPS; at 1440p, Ultra averages 27 FPS versus Medium's 42 FPS; at 1080p, Ultra averages 42 FPS versus Medium's 65 FPS. This consistent penalty of roughly 35 percent across all resolutions points to the GPU's shading units (1280) and texture mapping units (40) being overwhelmed by the extra effects and draw calls that Ultra settings introduce.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database places the Ryzen 5 4600G in the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507. Its nearest rivals are close in performance: the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, a delta of 0.1 percent; the Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, a delta of 0.6 percent; the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, a delta of -0.6 percent; and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, a delta of -0.8 percent. Any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Minimum, since the differences are within one percent.

The Intel Arc B370, however, sits in the 5th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest rivals are older cards: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186 (delta -0.2 percent), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (delta -0.5 percent), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (delta -0.7 percent), and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168 (delta 1.4 percent). These deltas are all under 1.5 percent, meaning that swapping the Arc B370 for any of these GPUs would produce essentially indistinguishable frame rates in this game. The B370's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 is the only benchmark recorded for it, and it clearly places this GPU in the entry-level segment.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Minimum? The answer depends entirely on resolution and settings. At 3840x2160, no preset achieves a playable frame rate. The best result is 30 FPS on Low, which is half of the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict data confirms that 4K has no playable settings.

At 2560x1440, the same conclusion applies: no preset clears 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 55 FPS, which is 5 FPS short of playable. The verdict data lists no playable settings for 1440p.

At 1920x1080, the story changes. The Low preset averages 85 FPS, and the Medium preset averages 65 FPS. Both are above 60 FPS, and the verdict data confirms these two as playable settings. The best settings at 1080p are Medium, with an average of 65 FPS. High at 55 FPS and Ultra at 42 FPS are not playable. So the answer is yes, but only at 1080p with Low or Medium settings. This is a machine that can handle the game at mainstream resolution with moderate visual quality, but it cannot push higher resolutions or maximum settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's combined rankings for Minimum, this AMD Ryzen 5 4600G plus Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 3425 out of 3712 tested combos. That places it in the bottom 8 percent of all systems tested for this game. The ranking reflects the severe GPU bottleneck: the B370 is at the 5th percentile among GPUs, while the CPU is at the 71st percentile among CPUs. The combination of a relatively strong processor with a very weak graphics solution produces a system that is far behind most tested configurations. The low GPU percentile is the dominant factor in the poor overall rank.

The data suggests that this combo would be at the lower end of any competitive or performance-oriented list for Minimum. The 287 combos ranked below it likely feature even weaker GPUs or CPUs that cannot maintain playable frame rates even at 1080p Low. For a game released in 2014, this rank indicates that the combination is only marginally adequate for the game's minimum requirements at the lowest playable settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS. The best average is 30 FPS on Low, which is not playable. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS does not exist at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, no preset achieves 60 FPS either. The closest is Low at 55 FPS, which is still below the threshold. There is no playable preset at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 65 FPS, a minimum of 56 FPS, and a maximum of 75 FPS. Low also clears the threshold at 85 FPS, but Medium offers higher visual quality while still maintaining a playable average. High at 55 FPS and Ultra at 42 FPS are not playable. For users who want the best visual fidelity that this system can handle smoothly, Medium at 1080p is the recommended configuration.
