Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D and Intel Arc B370 shows a clear progression of performance as resolution and settings change. At 1920x1080, the combination delivers its strongest results. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 85 FPS. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 65 FPS, with the minimum recorded at 56 FPS and the maximum at 75 FPS. High settings produce an average of 55 FPS, while Ultra settings fall to 42 FPS. The 1080p data shows that the playable threshold of 60 FPS is cleared at both Low and Medium presets, with Medium being the highest preset that maintains an average above that line.

At 2560x1440, the performance decreases noticeably. Low settings produce an average of 55 FPS, which sits just below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 42 FPS, with a minimum of 36 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS. High settings average 35 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 27 FPS. None of the 1440p presets reach the 60 FPS average required for the playable designation.

At 3840x2160, the results are substantially lower. Low settings average 30 FPS. Medium settings average 23 FPS, with the minimum at 19 FPS and the maximum at 26 FPS. High settings average 19 FPS, and Ultra settings average 15 FPS. The 4K data shows no preset approaching the 60 FPS threshold, and even the Low preset fails to reach half of that target.

The scaling between resolutions follows a consistent pattern. From 1080p to 1440p, the average frame rate at Medium settings falls from 65 FPS to 42 FPS, a reduction of 23 FPS. From 1440p to 2160p, the Medium preset falls from 42 FPS to 23 FPS, another 19 FPS reduction. The Low preset shows a similar trend: 85 FPS at 1080p, 55 FPS at 1440p, and 30 FPS at 2160p. The High preset moves from 55 FPS at 1080p, to 35 FPS at 1440p, to 19 FPS at 2160p. Ultra settings follow the same pattern with 42 FPS, 27 FPS, and 15 FPS across the three resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution with a 25 W TDP, and its benchmark data places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 is the only GPU benchmark recorded in the database. This positions the GPU as the dominant constraint in this pairing. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D, by contrast, sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 37018. The CPU has 6 cores, 12 threads, and a 96 MB shared L3 cache, specifications that are far above the demands of a 2014 third-person shooter.

The frame rate scaling across resolutions confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor. When resolution increases from 1080p to 2160p, the pixel workload roughly quadruples, and the measured frame rates at every preset drop by more than half. At 1080p Low, the combination produces 85 FPS. At 2160p Low, it produces 30 FPS. This steep decline indicates that the integrated GPU is saturated by the increasing pixel count, while the CPU has ample headroom. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D's single-thread score of 2941 and multithread score of 20363 suggest it is not the bottleneck in this scenario.

The settings scaling also points to GPU limitation. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average frame rate from 85 FPS to 42 FPS, a 50 percent drop. At 1440p, the same settings change reduces performance from 55 FPS to 27 FPS. At 2160p, Low to Ultra goes from 30 FPS to 15 FPS. The consistent halving of performance when moving from Low to Ultra at each resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload, where increased shading and texture work directly impacts the render time.

The database records no min or max FPS values for most presets, but the Medium preset at each resolution includes complete data. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 56 FPS and the maximum is 75 FPS, a spread of 19 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the spread is 12 FPS, from 36 to 48. At 2160p Medium, the spread narrows to 7 FPS, from 19 to 26. The narrowing range at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU is consistently saturated, leaving less variance between frames.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Medium. The recorded average at 1080p Medium is 65 FPS, with a minimum of 56 FPS and a maximum of 75 FPS. Low settings average 85 FPS, which is also playable but less demanding. High settings average 55 FPS, below the threshold, and Ultra averages 42 FPS.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches the 60 FPS average threshold. Low settings come closest at 55 FPS. Medium averages 42 FPS, High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 27 FPS. The verdict data confirms that no playable settings exist at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the same situation applies. Low settings average 30 FPS, Medium averages 23 FPS, High averages 19 FPS, and Ultra averages 15 FPS. No preset is close to the 60 FPS target.

The best playable configuration for this system is therefore 1080p with Medium settings, delivering 65 FPS on average. Dropping to Low at 1080p raises the average to 85 FPS and provides more headroom for demanding scenes, though the Medium preset stays above the playable threshold for the majority of the run.

The Verdict

The database records a playable threshold of 60 FPS. The verdict by resolution shows that this system can run Minimum at 1920x1080 with Low and Medium settings, and the best settings at that resolution are Medium with an average of 65 FPS. The system cannot run the game at 2560x1440 at any preset, as the highest average is 55 FPS on Low. It also cannot run the game at 3840x2160, where the highest average is 30 FPS on Low.

The answer to whether this PC can run Minimum is conditional. At 1080p, it runs the game comfortably at Medium settings, with the average sitting 5 FPS above the playable threshold. The minimum recorded at Medium is 56 FPS, which dips slightly below 60 but remains smooth in practice. At higher resolutions, the system falls short. The 1440p Low preset nearly reaches the threshold at 55 FPS, but the database does not classify it as playable. The 4K results are far from playable.

The overall picture is that this combination is suited for 1080p gaming in Minimum, with Medium being the recommended preset. Users who require 1440p or 4K would need a significantly stronger GPU, as the integrated Arc B370 cannot deliver the required frame rates at those resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 3425 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. This places it in the lower portion of the ranking, with roughly 92 percent of tested combinations performing better. The low ranking is driven almost entirely by the Intel Arc B370, which sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D is a strong processor in the 85th percentile, but it cannot compensate for the integrated GPU's limited graphics throughput.

The ranking reflects the measured FPS data. At 1080p Medium, the system averages 65 FPS, which is playable but modest. Many other tested combinations in the database would deliver higher frame rates at the same settings. The combination's position near the bottom of the ranking is consistent with the GPU's low benchmark score and the significant frame rate drops at higher resolutions.

The data indicates that this combo occupies a narrow use case: 1080p gaming at Low or Medium settings for Minimum. It is not competitive at higher resolutions, and its overall rank of 3425 out of 3712 reflects that limitation. For the specific question of whether this PC can run Minimum, the answer is yes at 1080p, but the margin above the playable threshold is slim, and the system has no headroom for higher resolutions or more demanding presets.
