Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a clearly playable experience at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 for Minimum, but it falls short of the 60 FPS target at 3840x2160 across every tested preset. At 1080p, the combo clears 60 FPS on all four settings, with Ultra averaging 71 FPS; at 1440p, High, Medium, and Low all stay above the threshold, with High exactly hitting 60 FPS. At 4K, the best result is Low at 50 FPS, which remains below the playable threshold. The data indicates the CPU and GPU pairing is well suited for mainstream resolutions but not for 4K gaming in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rate data for Minimum spans three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a clear picture of how the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B570 handle the game. The results show a consistent scaling pattern: as resolution increases, average frame rates drop by roughly 35-40% per step, and as settings rise from Low to Ultra, performance degrades by a similar margin. All figures below come directly from the measured FPS table.

At 1920x1080, the combo performs strongly across the board. Low settings produce an average of 145 FPS, which is the highest recorded result in the entire dataset. Medium settings drop to 111 FPS average, with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 128 FPS, indicating smooth frame pacing. High settings yield 93 FPS average, while Ultra settings still manage 71 FPS average. All four presets clear the 60 FPS playable threshold by a substantial margin, with even the most demanding preset sitting 11 FPS above the target. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 74 FPS, showing that the GPU has ample headroom for higher-quality visuals without sacrificing playability.

At 2560x1440, performance remains solid but begins to show the limits of the hardware. Low settings average 94 FPS, which is 51 FPS below the 1080p Low result. Medium settings average 72 FPS, with a minimum of 61 FPS and a maximum of 82 FPS — the minimum is just barely above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating occasional dips near the boundary. High settings average exactly 60 FPS, which meets the playable target but leaves no margin for frame-time spikes. Ultra settings drop to 46 FPS average, falling 14 FPS short of the threshold and making this preset unplayable at this resolution. The data shows a clear stepwise degradation: Low to Medium costs 22 FPS, Medium to High costs 12 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 14 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the combination struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings produce the best result at 50 FPS average, which is 10 FPS below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 39 FPS, with a minimum of 33 FPS and a maximum of 44 FPS, indicating severe drops during heavy scenes. High settings average 32 FPS, and Ultra settings average 25 FPS. None of the four presets reach the playable target, and the gap widens as settings increase: Low to Medium costs 11 FPS, Medium to High costs 7 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 7 FPS. The 4K results suggest the Intel Arc B570 is the primary bottleneck at this resolution, as even the lowest settings fail to reach playable levels.

The measured data also reveals that the combo's performance is more sensitive to resolution than to settings. Moving from 1080p Low to 1440p Low costs 51 FPS (a 35% drop), while moving from 1440p Low to 4K Low costs 44 FPS (a 47% drop). In contrast, moving from Low to Ultra at a fixed resolution costs between 74 FPS at 1080p and 25 FPS at 4K, showing that resolution scaling has a larger impact on absolute frame rates than quality settings at higher resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS average at each resolution is as follows:

At 1920x1080, the best setting is Ultra, which averages 71 FPS. This is the highest quality preset available, and it clears the 60 FPS threshold by 11 FPS. The next lower preset, High, averages 93 FPS, but Ultra remains the best choice for maximum visual fidelity without dropping below playable frame rates. The 1080p results show the combo has enough headroom to run the game at maximum settings.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is High, which averages exactly 60 FPS. This meets the playable threshold but provides no margin for frame-time variations, so players may notice occasional dips below 60 FPS during intense scenes. Medium settings average 72 FPS and offer a safer buffer, but High is the most demanding preset that still meets the target. Ultra settings at 46 FPS are not playable at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, no setting reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The best result is Low at 50 FPS average, which falls 10 FPS short of the playable target. Medium averages 39 FPS, High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 25 FPS. Since none of the presets are playable, there is no recommended setting at this resolution; the hardware simply lacks the performance for 4K gaming in Minimum.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B570 combination can run Minimum at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. The verdict data confirms this split: at 1080p, the playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with Ultra as the best at 71 FPS; at 1440p, the playable settings include High, Low, and Medium, with High as the best at 60 FPS; at 4K, there are no playable settings.

For players using a 1080p monitor, this combo delivers a fully playable experience across all quality presets. The Ultra preset at 71 FPS provides the best visual experience while staying comfortably above the 60 FPS target, and even the most demanding scenes are unlikely to drop below playable levels given the headroom. The 111 FPS average at Medium and 145 FPS at Low further demonstrate that the hardware has significant performance reserves at this resolution.

For 1440p gamers, the combo remains playable but with less margin. High settings at exactly 60 FPS meet the threshold, but the lack of headroom means frame drops could push the experience below playable levels. Medium settings at 72 FPS offer a more stable experience, and Low at 94 FPS provides the smoothest gameplay. Players who prioritize consistent frame rates over visual quality should consider Medium or Low, while those who want the best visuals can accept the risk of occasional dips below 60 FPS on High.

For 4K gamers, the verdict is clear: this combo cannot run Minimum at playable frame rates. The best result, Low at 50 FPS, falls 10 FPS short of the threshold, and higher settings only worsen performance. The data suggests the Intel Arc B570 is the limiting factor at this resolution, as even the lowest settings fail to reach playable levels. Players with 4K displays would need more powerful hardware to play this title.

The overall ranking of 2984 out of 3712 combos for Minimum places this pairing in the lower third of tested configurations. This ranking is consistent with the measured results: the combo handles mainstream resolutions well but fails at 4K, which likely puts it behind many configurations that can manage higher resolutions. The 74th percentile CPU ranking and 65th percentile GPU ranking indicate that individual components are mid-range, and their combined performance reflects that positioning.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearest rivals for both the CPU and GPU, several alternative combinations would produce similar performance in Minimum. These comparisons are based on average benchmark scores, which correlate with in-game frame rates, though actual gaming performance may vary slightly.

On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT's nearest rivals are all within 0.5% of its average benchmark score of 20733. The Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20802, which is 0.3% higher, making it a nearly identical performer. The Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20821 (0.4% higher), the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U scores 20826 (0.4% higher), and the AMD EPYC 7J13 scores 20845 (0.5% higher). Swapping the 5600GT for any of these CPUs would yield essentially the same frame rates in Minimum, as the benchmark differences are negligible. Note that the Xeon and EPYC are server-class parts, so they may not be practical for desktop gaming, but their raw performance is comparable.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570's nearest rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, which is 0.1% lower than the Arc B570's 20556. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582 (0.1% higher), the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480 (0.4% lower), and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662 (0.5% higher). All four GPUs would produce frame rates within a few percent of the Arc B570 in Minimum, meaning the same playability conclusions apply: 1080p and 1440p would be playable, while 4K would not. The RTX 3070 Mobile is a laptop part, so it would only be relevant in a mobile configuration, but its performance is directly comparable.

A combination of the 5600GT with any of these rival GPUs, or a rival CPU with the Arc B570, would produce results nearly identical to the measured data. For example, pairing the 5600GT with the Arc A750 would likely yield the same 71 FPS at 1080p Ultra and 60 FPS at 1440p High, given the 0.1% score difference. Similarly, pairing the Core i5-12490F with the Arc B570 would maintain the same frame rates, as the CPU is not a bottleneck at these settings. The data indicates that this performance tier is tightly clustered, with no single component offering a meaningful advantage over its nearest rivals.

The practical implication is that players who own any of these alternative CPUs or GPUs can expect the same gaming experience in Minimum: strong 1080p performance, acceptable 1440p performance with careful settings selection, and no viable 4K option. The only meaningful differences would come from moving to a higher-tier component, not from swapping between these near-identical rivals.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2984 out of 3712 tested configurations for Minimum. This places the combo in the 19.6th percentile of all tested combos, meaning roughly 80% of tested configurations perform better in this game. The ranking is based on the measured frame rate data, which shows the combo's limitations at 4K while acknowledging its strengths at lower resolutions.

The ranking is consistent with the component-level benchmarks. The CPU ranks in the 74th percentile among all CPUs, which is a solid mid-range position, while the GPU ranks in the 65th percentile among all GPUs, also mid-range. When combined, these components produce a system that is better than many budget and older configurations but falls behind higher-tier pairings. The 3712 total combos include systems with much more powerful CPUs and GPUs, which naturally achieve higher frame rates at all resolutions and settings.

The combo's rank of 2984 suggests it sits at the lower end of the performance spectrum for Minimum. This is driven primarily by the 4K results, where no preset reaches 60 FPS. Many other combos in the database likely manage at least Low settings at 4K, or achieve higher frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, pushing them ahead in the ranking. However, the combo's strong 1080p performance — where even Ultra averages 71 FPS — means it is not at the very bottom of the list. The 728 combos ranked below this pairing likely struggle even at 1080p or have other limitations.

The ranking also reflects the balance between CPU and GPU. The 5600GT's 74th percentile CPU ranking suggests it is not the primary bottleneck, as it provides ample processing power for this game. The Arc B570's 65th percentile GPU ranking is the more likely limiting factor, especially at 1440p and 4K where the GPU's rendering capabilities are stressed. A stronger GPU paired with the same CPU would likely move the combo higher in the ranking, while a stronger CPU paired with the same GPU would have a smaller impact, given that the game is not heavily CPU-bound at these settings.

For context, the combo's rank of 2984 out of 3712 means it outperforms approximately 728 other tested configurations. This places it in the bottom 20% of the database, which is a meaningful distinction for players comparing systems. The data shows that this pairing is adequate for mainstream gaming at 1080p and acceptable at 1440p with settings compromises, but it is not competitive with higher-tier systems that can handle 4K or maintain higher frame rates at demanding settings. Players considering this combo should prioritize 1080p or 1440p monitors, as the hardware's strengths align with those resolutions.
