Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the Intel Arc B390 produces a clear performance profile in Minimum. The recorded measurements show that this combination can maintain 60 FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings, but falls below that threshold at higher resolutions. This analysis details the measured frame rates, the distribution of CPU and GPU workload, and how this pairing compares with other tested configurations.

FAQ

Q: What is the playable threshold for this game?

A: The database defines 60 FPS as the playable threshold. Any preset that averages at or above 60 FPS is considered playable.

Q: What is the average FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings?

A: The recorded average is 61 FPS, which just clears the playable threshold.

Q: Does this system run the game at 3840x2160?

A: No. At 4K, the highest average FPS is 33 (Low settings), and all other presets are below 30 FPS. No settings reach 60 FPS.

A: The Ryzen 7 5800X + Arc B390 ranks 3299 out of 3712 tested combinations, placing it in the lower portion of the database.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 7 5800X has an average benchmark score of 29123. Its closest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, is 0.1% faster, while the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT is 0.6% faster.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Intel Arc B390 has an average benchmark score of 1482. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, is 1.3% faster, and the NVIDIA GeForce 800M is 1.5% faster.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution, based on the recorded data, is as follows:

• 1920x1080: High settings, averaging 61 FPS. Medium (72 FPS) and Low (95 FPS) also clear the threshold, but High is the most demanding playable option.
• 2560x1440: Low settings, averaging 61 FPS. Medium (47 FPS), High (39 FPS), and Ultra (30 FPS) all fall below 60 FPS.
• 3840x2160: No preset achieves 60 FPS. The highest average is 33 FPS at Low, with Medium at 25 FPS, High at 21 FPS, and Ultra at 16 FPS.

These results indicate that the system is capable of smooth play at 1080p with high quality, but at 1440p the user must drop to the lowest preset to maintain playability. At 4K, the game is not playable under any setting.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU. The Ryzen 7 5800X is a high-end desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, and it ranks in the 81st percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its multi-threaded performance is strong, as shown by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15476 and a Geekbench multicore score of 11036. The Intel Arc B390, on the other hand, ranks in the 9th percentile among all GPUs, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1482. This stark contrast suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck in this game.

The scaling of frame rates across resolutions supports this conclusion. At 1080p, the average FPS drops from 95 at Low to 61 at High, a reduction of 36%. At 1440p, the same preset change yields a drop from 61 to 39, also 36%. At 4K, the drop is from 33 to 21, again 36%. The consistent relative decline indicates that the GPU is being saturated at all resolutions, and the CPU is not the limiting factor. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the frame rate to remain relatively flat as resolution increases, but instead the absolute FPS falls sharply, confirming GPU-bound behavior.

Additionally, the Arc B390 is an integrated graphics solution with system-shared memory and a 80 W TDP, while the Ryzen 7 5800X has a 105 W TDP and supports DDR4 memory. The GPU's low pixel rate (60.00 GPixel/s) and texture rate (120.0 GTexel/s) further underscore its limited capacity relative to the CPU's capabilities. In practical terms, the CPU can easily feed the GPU, but the GPU cannot keep up with the demands of higher resolutions and quality presets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide a useful reference for what hardware would behave similarly in Minimum. For the Ryzen 7 5800X, the closest matches in average benchmark score are the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H (0.1% faster), the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 (0.4% slower), the Intel Core i5-13500HX (0.5% slower), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (0.6% faster). Any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance, meaning they would not change the outcome in this game, given the GPU bottleneck.

For the Intel Arc B390, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1.3% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce 800M (1.5% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM (2.5% faster), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (2.7% faster). These GPUs have benchmark scores within a few points of the Arc B390, so they would produce very similar frame rates. Swapping the Arc B390 for any of these would not alter the playability verdict; the system would still be GPU-limited and would achieve essentially the same FPS at each resolution and preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists the exact average, minimum, and maximum FPS recorded for each resolution and settings combination. Minimum and maximum values were only recorded for Medium presets; all other entries have no min/max data.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 21 | N/A | N/A |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 33 | N/A | N/A |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 25 | 21 | 29 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 16 | N/A | N/A |

| 2560x1440 | High | 39 | N/A | N/A |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 61 | N/A | N/A |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 47 | 40 | 54 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 30 | N/A | N/A |

| 1920x1080 | High | 61 | N/A | N/A |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 95 | N/A | N/A |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 72 | 62 | 83 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 46 | N/A | N/A |

The data shows a clear progression: at each resolution, lowering the preset increases FPS, but the magnitude of improvement is consistent. The Medium preset at 1080p shows a minimum of 62 FPS, which is above the threshold, while at 1440p the Medium minimum is 40 FPS, and at 4K it is 21 FPS. These values reinforce the GPU-bound nature of the system.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Minimum? The answer depends on the resolution. According to the verdict data:

• 1920x1080: Yes. High, Medium, and Low presets all average 60 FPS or higher. The best playable setting is High, which averages 61 FPS.
• 2560x1440: Yes, but only with Low settings, which average 61 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS.
• 3840x2160: No. No preset reaches 60 FPS; the highest average is 33 FPS at Low.

In summary, the system is fully capable of a smooth experience at 1080p with high quality, and it can manage 1440p only at the lowest quality level. It is not suitable for 4K gaming in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X + Intel Arc B390 combination ranks 3299 out of 3712 tested configurations in Minimum. This places it in the lower portion of the database, reflecting the GPU's weak performance relative to other graphics cards. The CPU's strong benchmark scores (81st percentile) do not compensate for the GPU's low standing (9th percentile), and the overall ranking is dominated by the GPU bottleneck. For comparison, the GPU's nearest rivals are all low-end NVIDIA models, and the combo's rank is consistent with a system that is only suitable for 1080p gaming at modest settings. Users seeking higher resolutions or more demanding presets would need a significantly more powerful GPU to achieve playable frame rates.
