Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and Intel Arc B370 in Minimum shows a clear progression of performance as resolution and settings change. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are consistently low across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 30 FPS, Medium drops to 23 FPS with a minimum of 19 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS, High yields 19 FPS, and Ultra falls to 15 FPS. None of these 4K results approach the 60 FPS playability threshold, and the gap is substantial. The spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is 15 FPS, which indicates that the preset scaling has a meaningful impact, but even the least demanding setting cannot deliver a smooth experience.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains below the playability target. Low settings average 55 FPS, which is just 5 FPS short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 42 FPS with a minimum of 36 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS. High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 27 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at this resolution spans 28 FPS, showing that each preset step costs a noticeable amount of performance. The Medium preset at 1440p has a recorded minimum of 36 FPS, which means even the average is not sustained, and dips would be noticeable during intense scenes.

At 1920x1080, the same hardware delivers much stronger results. Low settings average 85 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. Medium averages 65 FPS with a minimum of 56 FPS and a maximum of 75 FPS, also clearing the average threshold. High averages 55 FPS, just under the target, while Ultra averages 42 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p is the only preset across all resolutions that both clears the 60 FPS average and has a recorded minimum close to the threshold, at 56 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 43 FPS, the largest spread of any resolution in the dataset.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's ranking of tested combinations for Minimum, this setup sits at rank 3425 out of 3712 total combos. That places it in the bottom portion of all tested configurations, roughly in the 8th percentile of the tested pool. The combo rank reflects the overall measured performance across the recorded resolution and preset matrix, and the data indicates that this pairing is not competitive with the majority of other tested systems for this game.

The GPU is the primary reason for this low standing. The Intel Arc B370 has an average benchmark score of 1184 and sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which scores 1186 and is 0.2% faster, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190 and 0.5% faster, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1192 and 0.7% faster, and the AMD FirePro M2000 at 1168 and 1.4% slower. These are all older, lower-end parts, which contextualizes the Arc B370's performance class. The CPU, by contrast, is a much stronger component. The Ryzen 7 5800X has an average benchmark score of 29123 and sits at the 81st percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H at 29093 and 0.1% slower, the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 at 29245 and 0.4% faster, the Intel Core i5-13500HX at 29270 and 0.5% faster, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT at 28940 and 0.6% slower.

The combination of a high-performing CPU and a low-performing GPU produces a lopsided result in Minimum. The combo rank of 3425 out of 3712 suggests that the GPU bottleneck dominates the frame rate outcome, and the CPU's strength cannot compensate for the graphics limitation in this title.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows an asymmetric workload distribution between the Ryzen 7 5800X and the Intel Arc B370 in Minimum. The GPU is clearly the limiting factor at every resolution and preset. Evidence for this comes from the scaling behavior across resolutions. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Low settings drops the average from 85 FPS to 55 FPS, a reduction of 30 FPS. Moving further to 3840x2160 at Low drops the average to 30 FPS, another 25 FPS reduction. This steep decline with increasing pixel count is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the graphics processor's fill rate and shading throughput become the dominant constraint.

At Medium settings, the resolution scaling follows the same pattern. The average is 65 FPS at 1080p, 42 FPS at 1440p, and 23 FPS at 4K. The proportional drops are consistent, and the minimum FPS values also decline in step. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 56 FPS; at 1440p Medium, the minimum is 36 FPS; at 4K Medium, the minimum is 19 FPS. The fact that the minimums scale almost linearly with resolution further supports a GPU-bound interpretation. The CPU has ample headroom, given its 81st percentile ranking and strong multi-threaded scores, but the frame rates do not reflect that headroom because the GPU cannot feed frames fast enough.

The preset scaling within a single resolution also points to GPU limits. At 1080p, the jump from Low to Ultra costs 43 FPS (85 to 42). At 1440p, the same preset jump costs 28 FPS (55 to 27). At 4K, the jump costs 15 FPS (30 to 15). The diminishing absolute cost of presets at higher resolutions is consistent with a GPU that is already saturated at lower settings; there is less performance left to sacrifice when the resolution is already consuming most of the available throughput. The CPU's role is therefore secondary in this game, and its strong benchmark scores do not translate into higher frame rates once the GPU becomes the bottleneck.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the GPU side, the Intel Arc B370's nearest rivals in the database are all older discrete and mobile parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, essentially identical to the Arc B370's 1184, with a delta of 0.2%. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4% lower. A system using any of these GPUs paired with a similarly strong CPU would be expected to produce frame rates very close to those recorded for the Arc B370 in Minimum. The differences are within roughly 1.5% of each other, which is within run-to-run variance for most games. In practical terms, swapping the Arc B370 for any of these four rivals would not meaningfully change the playability verdict at any resolution.

For the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 5800X's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, which scores 29093 and is 0.1% slower, the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 at 29245 and 0.4% faster, the Intel Core i5-13500HX at 29270 and 0.5% faster, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT at 28940 and 0.6% slower. Because the GPU is the bottleneck in Minimum, swapping the CPU for any of these alternatives would have a negligible effect on the measured frame rates. The CPU performance class is already far above what the GPU can utilize in this title, so the differences between these processors would not appear in the FPS numbers.

A system with the same CPU but any of the GPU rivals listed above would produce nearly identical results. A system with the same GPU but any of the CPU rivals would also produce nearly identical results. The bottleneck is so one-sided that both replacement paths converge on the same outcome.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset clears the 60 FPS threshold. The best recorded average is 30 FPS at Low settings, which is 30 FPS below the playability target. Medium averages 23 FPS, High averages 19 FPS, and Ultra averages 15 FPS. There is no playable configuration at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the situation is similar. No preset clears the 60 FPS threshold. The best recorded average is 55 FPS at Low settings, which is 5 FPS short of the target. Medium averages 42 FPS, High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 27 FPS. The closest option, Low at 55 FPS, still falls short, and the recorded minimum for Medium at 36 FPS indicates that even the average is not stable. No playable configuration exists at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, two presets clear the 60 FPS average threshold. Low settings average 85 FPS, and Medium settings average 65 FPS with a minimum of 56 FPS and a maximum of 75 FPS. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS on average is Medium, at 65 FPS. High averages 55 FPS, which is below the threshold, and Ultra averages 42 FPS. The best playable setting at 1080p is therefore Medium, with Low as a higher-frame-rate fallback.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Minimum depends entirely on the resolution target. At 3840x2160, the answer is no. The best average is 30 FPS at Low, and every other preset is lower. The system cannot reach 60 FPS at 4K under any tested setting. At 2560x1440, the answer is also no. Low settings average 55 FPS, which is 5 FPS short of the threshold, and no other preset comes closer. The system falls short of playability at 1440p.

At 1920x1080, the answer is yes, with conditions. The verdict data lists Low and Medium as playable settings, with Medium as the best playable setting at an average of 65 FPS. Low averages 85 FPS for those who prefer higher frame rates. High and Ultra at 1080p average 55 FPS and 42 FPS respectively, which do not clear the 60 FPS threshold.

The overall picture is of a system that is viable only at 1080p, and only at Low or Medium presets. The Intel Arc B370's performance class, indicated by its 5th percentile ranking and its proximity to much older GPUs like the ATI Radeon HD 5770, limits the system to entry-level 1080p gaming in this title. The Ryzen 7 5800X provides ample CPU headroom, but that headroom is unused because the graphics subsystem is the limiting factor. The combo rank of 3425 out of 3712 reflects this imbalance. For a 1080p player willing to use Medium settings, this system delivers a playable experience. For any higher resolution or more demanding preset, the data shows it falls short.
