Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Intel Arc B570 combination in Minimum shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 145 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure in the entire dataset. Medium settings average 111 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 128 FPS. High settings drop to 93 FPS on average, while Ultra remains comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold at 71 FPS. Every preset at 1080p clears the playable threshold, and the spread from Low to Ultra spans 74 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains solid but the top preset falls below the threshold. Low settings average 94 FPS, Medium averages 72 FPS with a minimum of 61 FPS and a maximum of 82 FPS, and High sits exactly at 60 FPS on average. Ultra drops to 46 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. The 1440p data shows a narrower playable range: Low, Medium, and High all clear 60 FPS, while Ultra does not.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. Low settings average 50 FPS, Medium averages 39 FPS with a minimum of 33 FPS and a maximum of 44 FPS, High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 25 FPS. None of the 4K presets reach the 60 FPS threshold. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is a steady decline: 50, 39, 32, 25. The data indicates that this combination is not suited for 4K gaming in Minimum at any preset.

The resolution scaling is consistent. At Low settings, the average FPS moves from 145 at 1080p to 94 at 1440p to 50 at 4K. At High settings, the progression is 93, 60, and 32. At Medium, it is 111, 72, and 39. At Ultra, it is 71, 46, and 25. Each resolution step costs a significant portion of performance, and the gap between 1080p and 4K is particularly large.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 71 FPS. This is the highest preset available in the dataset, and it clears the threshold by 11 FPS. All four presets at 1080p are playable.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, with an average of exactly 60 FPS. Medium averages 72 FPS and Low averages 94 FPS, but High is the most demanding option that remains playable. Ultra falls short at 46 FPS.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The closest is Low at 50 FPS, but the database does not classify any 4K setting as playable for this combination. Users targeting 4K would need to accept frame rates well below the playability standard.

The data indicates a clear progression: Ultra at 1080p, High at 1440p, and no playable option at 4K. The resolution scaling is steep, and each step up in resolution demands a step down in visual quality to maintain playable frame rates.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. At 1080p, the verdict is unambiguous: all four presets, including Ultra at 71 FPS, clear the 60 FPS threshold. This is the resolution where the combination performs best, and Ultra settings are fully viable.

At 1440p, the system remains playable across three presets. High settings average exactly 60 FPS, Medium averages 72 FPS, and Low averages 94 FPS. Ultra drops to 46 FPS and is not recommended for play. The 1440p experience is solid, but the headroom above the threshold is thinner than at 1080p.

At 4K, the verdict is negative. The highest recorded average is 50 FPS on Low settings, and every other preset falls further behind: Medium at 39 FPS, High at 32 FPS, and Ultra at 25 FPS. None of these approach the 60 FPS standard, and the database lists no playable settings at this resolution.

The overall conclusion is that this hardware combination is best suited for 1080p gaming in Minimum, with 1440p as a viable alternative at reduced presets. 4K is not a realistic option. Users with a 1080p display can run the game at maximum settings, while 1440p users should stick to High or below.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that resolution scaling has a much larger impact on performance than preset scaling, which points to the GPU as the primary constraint in this game. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 74 FPS (145 down to 71). At 1440p, the same preset range spans 48 FPS (94 down to 46). At 4K, the range narrows to 25 FPS (50 down to 25). The shrinking spread at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more saturated, leaving less room for preset changes to matter.

The resolution scaling itself is even more telling. At Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p costs 51 FPS, and moving from 1440p to 4K costs another 44 FPS. At High settings, the same transitions cost 33 FPS and 28 FPS respectively. These large drops are characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where pixel count directly dictates frame rate.

The Ryzen 7 3700X is a capable desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, and its benchmark scores place it in the 84th percentile among all CPUs. The Intel Arc B570 sits in the 65th percentile among GPUs. The CPU's higher relative standing, combined with the steep resolution scaling, suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor in Minimum. At 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at high frame rates, but as resolution rises, the GPU workload expands and becomes the bottleneck.

The preset scaling also supports this interpretation. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is only 25 FPS, which means even the lowest settings cannot overcome the GPU's pixel throughput limits. At 1080p, the same preset range produces a 74 FPS swing, indicating that the GPU has spare capacity at lower resolutions and responds strongly to setting changes.

In short, the GPU matters more at every resolution in this game, but its dominance grows as resolution increases. The CPU is sufficient to avoid becoming a limiting factor, as evidenced by the strong 1080p results, but it cannot compensate for the GPU's inability to maintain playable frame rates at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Intel Arc B570 combination at 2984 out of 3712 tested combos in Minimum. That places it in the lower portion of the overall ranking, which is consistent with the measured results: strong 1080p performance, acceptable 1440p performance, and no playable 4K options.

The GPU's nearest rivals help contextualize the ranking. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556 on average, which is 0.1% above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile and 0.1% below the Intel Arc A750. It also sits 0.4% above the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and 0.5% below the AMD Radeon R9 M390X. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning the B570 is effectively clustered with these GPUs in raw performance terms.

The CPU side shows a similar pattern. The Ryzen 7 3700X scores 34260 on average, which is 0.1% above the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 and 0.1% above the AMD EPYC 4244P. It is 0.2% below the Intel Core i5-13450HX and 0.5% below the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H. Again, the deltas are minimal, placing the 3700X in a tight performance cluster.

The rank of 2984 out of 3712 reflects the combination of a mid-pack CPU and a mid-pack GPU. Neither component is a standout in its respective benchmark percentile, and the game's steep resolution scaling punishes the GPU at higher pixel counts. The result is a system that is well above the playability threshold at 1080p, marginally playable at 1440p with the right presets, and non-playable at 4K. The ranking accurately captures this mixed capability profile.
