Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a clear performance profile for Minimum: it clears the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p and 1440p across most presets, but falls short at 4K entirely. The data shows no playable settings at 3840x2160, with the best-case average of 57 FPS on Low still below the 60 FPS target. At 2560x1440, High settings achieve 68 FPS average, and at 1920x1080, Ultra reaches 81 FPS average. This system is a solid 1080p and 1440p performer for this title, but 4K remains out of reach.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26324. Its nearest rivals in the data are all within a narrow band of performance. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX scores 26274, a delta of 0.2% (slightly behind the 7600). The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS scores 26402, which is 0.3% ahead. The Intel Core i9-11900KF scores 26212, 0.4% behind, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26187, 0.5% behind. These differences are negligible in real-world gaming, so swapping the 7600 for any of these rivals would produce virtually identical frame rates in Minimum at the same GPU and settings. The 7600's multi-threaded strength is reflected in its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12735, while its single-core score of 1852 places it near the top of its class for gaming workloads.

For the Intel Arc B580, the GPU sits at the 68th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23021. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (scoring 23061, 0.2% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (scoring 22895, 0.6% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (scoring 23172, 0.7% ahead), and the NVIDIA P106-100 (scoring 23249, 1% ahead). The B580's deltaPct values show it is essentially neck-and-neck with these cards in synthetic benchmarks, but in Minimum, the Arc B580's actual performance will be dictated by its 12 GB GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 2080 and RX 5800 2048SP would behave similarly, though the RTX 3080's higher raw score suggests it could push slightly higher frames in GPU-bound scenarios at 4K, where the B580's 37 FPS High average indicates a hard ceiling.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck for this game, especially at higher resolutions. Scaling from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings, the average FPS drops from 106 to 68, a 36% reduction. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at High, the average falls from 68 to 37, a 46% reduction. This pattern indicates that the Intel Arc B580 is heavily constrained by pixel count, not by the Ryzen 5 7600. At 1080p, the CPU is more relevant—the difference between Low (165 FPS) and Ultra (81 FPS) at 1080p is 84 FPS, showing that settings-heavy presets shift the load toward the GPU. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, are more than adequate for this 2014 title, as evidenced by the high 1080p frame rates even at Ultra.

The Ryzen 5 7600's single-thread performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2521 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3910, ensures that CPU-bound scenes at 1080p will not drag frame rates. In contrast, at 4K, the GPU's raw throughput (13.67 TFLOPS FP32) becomes the limiting factor. The data shows that at 4K, even Low settings (57 FPS) cannot hold 60 FPS, proving the GPU's pixel-pushing abilities are insufficient for 4K in this game. The B580's 80 ROPs and 213.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are the relevant specs here; they simply cannot keep up with 8.3 million pixels at playable frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers excellent results. Low settings produce an average of 165 FPS. Medium settings average 126 FPS, with a minimum of 107 and a maximum of 145. High settings average 106 FPS. Ultra settings average 81 FPS. Every preset at this resolution clears the 60 FPS playable threshold comfortably, and even the Ultra minimum (not listed but implied by the average) would likely stay above 60, as the Ultra average is 21 FPS above the threshold.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but with more variation. Low settings average 106 FPS. Medium averaging 81 FPS with a minimum of 69 and a maximum of 93. High settings average 68 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 52 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold. The gap between High and Ultra is 16 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset's additional effects (likely heavier shadow and post-processing) push the GPU past its comfort zone.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles. Low settings average 57 FPS, just under the 60 FPS target. Medium averages 44 FPS, with a minimum of 37 and a maximum of 50. High averages 37 FPS. Ultra averages 28 FPS. No settings at 4K reach 60 FPS, and even the least demanding preset (Low) misses the target by 3 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Medium settings (81 FPS to 44 FPS) represents a 46% reduction, highlighting the GPU's inability to handle the pixel count.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the Arc B580's performance scales inversely with resolution, with the most dramatic drops occurring between 1440p and 4K. For example, at High settings, 1080p yields 106 FPS, 1440p yields 68 FPS, and 4K yields 37 FPS—each step roughly halves the frame rate.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum successfully at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. At 1080p, the verdictByResolution data lists all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—as playable, with the best settings (Ultra) achieving an average of 81 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by 21 FPS, providing headroom for demanding scenes. At 1440p, High, Low, and Medium are playable, with High being the best at 68 FPS average. Ultra at 1440p falls to 52 FPS, so it is not recommended for this resolution. At 4K, no settings are playable—the best average is 57 FPS on Low, which is 3 FPS short of the 60 FPS target. The data indicates that 4K is beyond the capabilities of this GPU for this game.

For users targeting 1080p, the Ultra preset at 81 FPS average offers the best visual experience without sacrificing smoothness. For 1440p users, High at 68 FPS average is the highest quality that still maintains 60 FPS. The system's rank of 2790 out of 3712 combos in Minimum reflects that this is a mid-tier setup for this title, with plenty of headroom at lower resolutions but limited at 4K. The Ryzen 5 7600 is not the limiting factor at any resolution; the Arc B580 is the binding constraint.
