Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Minimum shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, the combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and Intel Arc B370 produces an average of 19 FPS on High settings, 30 FPS on Low, 23 FPS on Medium with a minimum of 19 and maximum of 26, and 15 FPS on Ultra. None of these 4K results approach a playable threshold, and the spread between Low and Ultra is substantial: 30 FPS down to 15 FPS, a 50% drop from the lowest preset to the highest.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages improve considerably but remain below the 60 FPS playable threshold across all four presets. High settings deliver 35 FPS, Low reaches 55 FPS, Medium sits at 42 FPS with a range of 36 to 48 FPS, and Ultra drops to 27 FPS. The Low preset at 1440p is the closest this configuration comes to playability at that resolution, missing the 60 FPS mark by 5 frames.

At 1920x1080, the data shows a much healthier picture. Low settings produce an average of 85 FPS, Medium averages 65 FPS with a minimum of 56 and maximum of 75, High averages 55 FPS, and Ultra averages 42 FPS. The jump from 1440p Low to 1080p Low is 30 FPS (55 to 85), while the jump from 1440p Medium to 1080p Medium is 23 FPS (42 to 65). This resolution scaling indicates that pixel count has a strong influence on the Arc B370's performance in this title.

The minimum and maximum values are only recorded for Medium settings across all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the 56 FPS minimum dips just below the 60 FPS threshold even though the average clears it comfortably. At 1440p Medium, the 36 FPS minimum reinforces that this preset is not viable at that resolution. At 4K Medium, the 19 FPS minimum matches the High preset average, showing how quickly performance collapses at higher pixel counts.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Minimum at 60 FPS on 1920x1080?

A: Yes, but only on Low and Medium presets. The recorded data shows 85 FPS on Low and 65 FPS on Medium at 1080p. High and Ultra fall short at 55 FPS and 42 FPS respectively.

Q: What is the best preset at 1920x1080 that stays above 60 FPS?

A: Medium is the most demanding preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p, with an average of 65 FPS and a maximum of 75 FPS. Its minimum of 56 FPS does dip below 60, but the average remains above the playable threshold.

Q: Is 2560x1440 playable with this hardware?

A: No. The verdict data lists no playable settings at 1440p. The closest preset is Low at 55 FPS, which is 5 FPS below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: How does 4K performance compare to 1080p performance?

A: At 4K, the highest average is 30 FPS on Low settings, while at 1080p the same preset averages 85 FPS. The gap is 55 FPS, and even 4K Medium at 23 FPS is far below the 1080p Low result.

Q: What is the lowest recorded average FPS in the entire dataset?

A: The lowest average is 15 FPS, which occurs at 3840x2160 on Ultra settings. This is the most demanding combination of resolution and preset in the measurements.

Q: Does the Medium preset show a consistent pattern across resolutions?

A: Yes. Medium averages scale from 65 FPS at 1080p, to 42 FPS at 1440p, to 23 FPS at 4K. The minimums follow the same pattern: 56, 36, and 19 FPS respectively.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G place it in a narrow band of CPU performance. The Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27097 in the database with a delta of -0.2% relative to the Ryzen 7 5700G's average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 sits 0.4% higher at 26936, the Intel Core i5-14400T is -0.4% lower at 27166, and the Intel Core i7-1370P is 0.6% higher at 26900. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, meaning any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum when paired with the same GPU. The Ryzen 7 5700G's percentile of 79 against all CPUs indicates it sits comfortably above the median, and the benchmark scores confirm it is a solid mid-range performer for this title.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B370's nearest rivals are significantly older parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186 with a delta of -0.2%, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 at -0.5%, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 at -0.7%, and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168 at 1.4%. These deltas place the Arc B370 within a tight cluster of legacy graphics hardware. The GPU's percentile of 5 against all GPUs is very low, which aligns with the measured FPS data showing that even at 1080p Low, the combination only reaches 85 FPS. The Arc B370's single benchmark score of 1184 on 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 is its only recorded metric, but the in-game results tell the more relevant story for Minimum.

For users comparing systems, a CPU swap within this rival group would change nothing meaningful in Minimum. A GPU swap, however, would need to target a meaningfully faster part to move the needle at 1440p or at 1080p High and Ultra presets. The 5th percentile GPU ranking is the clearest indicator that this is the bottleneck for higher settings.

The Verdict

The verdict data is unambiguous. At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings, meaning no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The best 4K result is 30 FPS on Low, which is half of the required frame rate. At 2560x1440, the same situation applies: no playable settings, with Low at 55 FPS being the closest miss. At 1920x1080, the playable settings list includes Low and Medium, with Medium identified as the best settings and an average FPS of 65 at that preset.

This PC can run Minimum, but only at 1080p and only with reduced graphics settings. The 1080p Medium result of 65 FPS clears the 60 FPS threshold, though the recorded minimum of 56 FPS means occasional dips below 60 are possible. For users who prioritize a locked 60 FPS experience, 1080p Low at 85 FPS provides more headroom. The 1440p and 4K resolutions are not viable for smooth gameplay, as the hardware simply does not have enough graphics throughput for this title at those pixel counts.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded FPS scaling across resolutions reveals which component limits performance in Minimum. When moving from 1080p to 1440p at the same preset, the average FPS drops by roughly 35%: Low goes from 85 to 55, Medium from 65 to 42, High from 55 to 35, and Ultra from 42 to 27. This consistent drop of about 30 to 35 FPS across presets indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint, as resolution changes primarily tax the graphics processor.

The preset scaling at a fixed resolution further confirms this. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 43 FPS (85 to 42). At 1440p, the same preset spread is 28 FPS (55 to 27). At 4K, the spread narrows to 15 FPS (30 to 15). This narrowing at higher resolutions is typical of a GPU-bound scenario: when the GPU is already saturated at 4K, changing quality settings has a smaller absolute impact on frame rate.

The CPU's role is less prominent in the measured data. The Ryzen 7 5700G is a capable 8-core, 16-thread processor with a 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs, and its benchmark scores indicate it is not the limiting factor in this title. The fact that 1080p Low achieves 85 FPS suggests the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at that resolution, but the GPU's 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs means it becomes the ceiling as resolution increases. At 1080p Medium, where the average is 65 FPS, the system is likely still GPU-bound given the sharp drop at higher resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold, so there is no recommended setting. The highest average is 30 FPS on Low, which is far from playable.

At 2560x1440, the same verdict applies: no playable settings. Low at 55 FPS is the closest option but still misses the threshold by 5 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the best playable settings are Medium, which delivers an average of 65 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS according to the verdict data. The minimum of 56 FPS at this setting is worth noting, but the average clears the threshold. For users who want a larger safety margin, Low at 85 FPS is the alternative, though it is not the most demanding playable preset.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 3425 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. This places it in the bottom 8% of all recorded configurations, which is consistent with the GPU's 5th percentile ranking. The rank reflects that while the CPU is above average, the Arc B370 holds the system back significantly in this title.

The 3425th rank means there are 287 combos in the database that perform worse than this setup in Minimum. The combination is capable of running the game at 1080p with reduced settings, but it cannot handle higher resolutions or maxed-out presets. The rank also makes sense when considering the measured FPS data: 1080p Medium at 65 FPS is a playable result, but it is modest compared to what higher-ranked combos would achieve. Users with this hardware should treat Minimum as a 1080p title with medium fidelity expectations, and any upgrade path should prioritize the GPU over the CPU, as the Ryzen 7 5700G is clearly the stronger component in this pairing.
