Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the Intel Arc B370 is a combination built around integrated graphics, and the recorded data for Minimum shows a clear ceiling. This is a 2014 third-person shooter, but the Arc B370’s integrated design, with a 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs, means the experience is heavily constrained at higher resolutions. The CPU, however, is a solid mid-range part, sitting in the 74th percentile, which helps maintain frame pacing when the GPU is not the bottleneck. The question is whether this pairing can hit the 60 FPS threshold, and the measured FPS data provides a definitive answer.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for Minimum were recorded at three resolutions and four quality presets, with average FPS provided for all settings and minimum/maximum values captured only for the Medium preset at each resolution.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the performance is consistently below playable levels. The Low preset delivers an average of 30 FPS, which is half of the 60 FPS target. Medium drops to 23 FPS average, with a minimum of 19 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS. High falls further to 19 FPS, and Ultra is the slowest at 15 FPS. Even the lowest settings at 4K cannot sustain a smooth experience; the data shows a hard limit imposed by the integrated GPU’s fill rate and shading power.

Moving to 2560x1440 (1440p) improves the numbers but does not cross the playable threshold. Low settings average 55 FPS, just 5 FPS short of 60. Medium averages 42 FPS, with a recorded range of 36 to 48 FPS. High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 27 FPS. The trend is consistent: each step up in quality costs roughly 7 to 8 FPS at this resolution. The 55 FPS Low result is the closest this combo gets to a smooth experience outside 1080p, but the data shows it still falls short.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the picture changes significantly. Low settings produce an average of 85 FPS, well above the 60 FPS target. Medium averages 65 FPS, with a minimum of 56 FPS and a maximum of 75 FPS. High averages 55 FPS, just under the threshold, and Ultra averages 42 FPS. The jump from 1440p to 1080p is substantial: Low gains 30 FPS, Medium gains 23 FPS, High gains 20 FPS, and Ultra gains 15 FPS. This resolution is where the Ryzen 5 5600G’s six cores and the Arc B370’s 1280 shading units can finally work together efficiently.

The Medium preset at 1080p is the most demanding configuration that maintains an average above 60 FPS, but the minimum of 56 FPS indicates occasional dips below the target. Low at 1080p is the only preset with a comfortable margin, averaging 85 FPS with no recorded minimum, implying consistent frame delivery. The data suggests that the Arc B370’s 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s 10,551 Cinebench R23 multi-core score is sufficient to keep up at 1080p.

FAQ

*Q: Can this combo run Minimum at 4K with any settings?*

A: No. The highest average FPS at 3840x2160 is 30 on Low settings, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Ultra averages only 15 FPS, and High averages 19 FPS.

Q: What is the best preset at 1080p that stays at or above 60 FPS?

A: Medium settings at 1920x1080 average 65 FPS, making it the highest quality preset that clears the threshold. Low settings are faster at 85 FPS, but Medium offers better visual fidelity while still averaging above 60.

Q: Does the Medium preset at 1440p ever hit 60 FPS?

A: No. The average is 42 FPS, with a maximum of 48 FPS. The recorded range of 36 to 48 FPS shows that even the peak frame rate is below the 60 FPS target.

Q: How does the CPU performance compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600G has an average benchmark score of 21088, which is nearly identical to the Intel Core i3-1220P (21066, 0.1% faster) and the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V (21112, 0.1% slower). It is also within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U and Intel Core Ultra 7 155U.

Q: What GPU performance class does the Arc B370 belong to?

A: The Arc B370 ranks in the 5th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest rivals include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% faster) and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% faster), placing it in the entry-level integrated graphics tier.

Q: Is the 1080p High preset playable?

A: No, it averages 55 FPS, which is 5 FPS below the 60 FPS threshold. While it is close, the recorded data does not support calling it playable, and the Medium preset is the better choice for a stable experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The best average is 30 FPS on Low, which is not playable. The database records no playable settings for this resolution.

For 2560x1440, the situation is identical. No preset reaches 60 FPS. Low averages 55 FPS, which is the highest recorded value at this resolution, but it remains below the threshold.

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 65 FPS. This is the clear recommendation for visual quality and smoothness. Low settings average 85 FPS and provide a larger safety margin, but Medium is the highest preset that meets the 60 FPS requirement.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Minimum, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3425 out of 3712 combos. This places it in the bottom 8% of all tested configurations, which aligns with the GPU’s low performance percentile. The CPU is not the limiting factor; the Ryzen 5 5600G’s 74th percentile ranking among all CPUs shows it is a capable processor. The rank is driven almost entirely by the Arc B370’s integrated nature, which limits the system to 1080p playability at medium settings.

The combination’s rank of 3425 means that 287 other tested combos perform worse, but the vast majority of systems in the database outperform it. This is expected for an IGP-based setup. The data indicates that this combo is suitable for older or less demanding titles, but for Minimum, it is confined to the lower end of the performance spectrum. The CPU’s strong multi-threaded scores (19,717 in PassMark multithread) do not translate into high FPS at higher resolutions because the GPU cannot process enough pixels per frame.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest CPU rivals to the Ryzen 5 5600G are all within a fraction of a percent in average benchmark score. The Intel Core i3-1220P scores 21066, which is 0.1% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V scores 21112, 0.1% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 21133, 0.2% higher, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U scores 21174, 0.4% higher. In practical terms, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical frame pacing in Minimum when paired with the same GPU, since the CPU is not the bottleneck at any resolution.

On the GPU side, the Arc B370’s nearest rivals are also extremely close in performance. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, just 0.2% higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher, and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4% lower. These are all older discrete or mobile parts, but the benchmark data shows they would produce nearly identical FPS in Minimum. This means that swapping the Arc B370 for any of these GPUs would not change the overall verdict: 1080p Medium at 65 FPS remains the ceiling.

For a system builder, this suggests that the Ryzen 5 5600G is a solid foundation that could be paired with a stronger discrete GPU for better results, but as configured, the Arc B370 defines the performance envelope. The CPU’s nearest rivals offer no advantage, and the GPU’s nearest rivals offer no escape from the sub-60 FPS results at 1440p and 4K.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear. At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings; the best average is 30 FPS on Low. At 2560x1440, there are also no playable settings; the best average is 55 FPS on Low, just short of the 60 FPS target. At 1920x1080, the system can run Minimum with playable settings. The playable presets are Low and Medium, with Medium being the best at an average of 65 FPS.

This PC can run Minimum, but only at 1080p. The data shows that 1080p Medium is the highest quality preset that maintains an average above 60 FPS, though the 56 FPS minimum suggests occasional dips. For a consistently smooth experience, 1080p Low at 85 FPS is the safer choice. The CPU is more than adequate for this game, but the integrated Arc B370 GPU is the limiting factor. This is a system for 1080p gaming at medium settings, not for high refresh rates or higher resolutions. The recorded data supports this conclusion without exception.
