Rust

FAQ

Q: What is the playable threshold for Rust in this database?

A: The database defines playable as an average of at least 60 FPS. The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with Intel Arc B370 combination clears that bar only at 1920x1080 with Low settings, where it reaches 69 FPS average.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 2560x1440?

A: There is no playable setting at 2560x1440 for this combo. The highest average FPS recorded at that resolution is 48 on Low, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium runs at 32 FPS, High at 27 FPS, and Ultra at 20 FPS.

Q: How does the Intel Arc B370 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The Arc B370 has an average benchmark score of 1184. Its closest rival, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, scores 1186, which is 0.2% higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (0.5% higher), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (0.7% higher), and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168 (1.4% lower). The Arc B370 ranks in the 5th percentile among all GPUs.

Q: What is the CPU's percentile ranking among all tested processors?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G sits in the 71st percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 17507. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, scores 17482, a delta of 0.1%. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395 (0.6% lower), while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614 (0.6% higher) and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648 (0.8% higher).

Q: What is the combo's overall rank in Rust?

A: This CPU-GPU combination ranks 3437 out of 3723 tested combos for Rust. That places it in the lower portion of the database, consistent with the GPU's low 5th percentile ranking and the fact that only one resolution and preset combination reaches the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: Does the Arc B370 have dedicated VRAM?

A: No. The Intel Arc B370 uses system shared memory for its frame buffer, with memory size, type, and bus width all listed as "System Shared" and bandwidth listed as "System Dependent." This is an integrated graphics solution (IGP in slot width), which explains its modest performance profile.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The highest average FPS recorded is 28 on Low settings. Medium averages 19 FPS, High averages 16 FPS, and Ultra averages 12 FPS. None of these are playable.

At 2560x1440, the best average FPS is 48 on Low settings, still below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 32 FPS, High averages 27 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. The database records no playable settings at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the only playable preset is Low, with an average of 69 FPS. Medium averages 46 FPS, High averages 39 FPS, and Ultra averages 30 FPS. The verdict data confirms Low as the best settings at this resolution, with the average FPS at best settings recorded as 69.

CPU and GPU Roles

Benchmark results indicate a strong dependency on resolution scaling rather than CPU headroom. The Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 2 processor with a 71st percentile ranking, suggesting it is not the primary limiter. The Arc B370, however, sits in the 5th percentile among GPUs, and its system-shared memory architecture points to the GPU as the decisive factor.

Looking at the FPS deltas between resolutions and presets clarifies this. At Low settings, moving from 1920x1080 (69 FPS) to 2560x1440 (48 FPS) is a 30% drop, and then to 3840x2160 (28 FPS) is another 42% drop. These are steep reductions that track with pixel count increases, typical of a GPU-bound scenario. At Medium settings, the progression is 46 FPS at 1080p, 32 FPS at 1440p, and 19 FPS at 4K. The consistent halving or near-halving of frame rates as resolution climbs suggests the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth (system dependent) are saturated.

The CPU's role becomes more visible when comparing presets at a fixed resolution. At 1920x1080, Low runs at 69 FPS, Medium at 46 FPS, High at 39 FPS, and Ultra at 30 FPS. The gap from Low to Medium is 23 FPS, while the gap from Medium to High is only 7 FPS. This pattern repeats at 2560x1440: Low at 48, Medium at 32, High at 27. The diminishing returns beyond Medium suggest that the GPU is already near its limit, and the CPU is not the bottleneck even at lower settings. The fact that the CPU has a 71st percentile score while the GPU has a 5th percentile score reinforces that the Arc B370 is the dominant constraint at all three resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the FPS values are so low (12 to 28) that the GPU is clearly overwhelmed. The Ryzen 5 4600G's 12 threads and 8 MB shared L3 cache are not the limiting factor here; the data shows the GPU's texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s are insufficient for 4K rendering in Rust.

The Verdict

The database verdict states that this PC can run Rust at a playable level only at 1920x1080 with Low settings. At that configuration, the average FPS is 69, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict data lists no playable settings for either 2560x1440 or 3840x2160. The best settings at 2560x1440 would be Low, but the average FPS is 48, and at 3840x2160 even Low only reaches 28 FPS. So the answer is conditional: this combination is playable at 1080p Low, but not at higher resolutions or more demanding presets.

The measured FPS values also show that the minimum FPS on Medium settings at 1080p is 39, with a maximum of 53, so even the 46 FPS average is not close to playable. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 27 and maximum is 37. At 4K Medium, the minimum is 16 and maximum is 22. The data does not include minimum or maximum values for Low, High, or Ultra presets, but the averages alone are decisive.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160:

• High: 16 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Low: 28 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Medium: 19 FPS average, 16 FPS minimum, 22 FPS maximum.
• Ultra: 12 FPS average, no min/max recorded.

2560x1440:

• High: 27 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Low: 48 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Medium: 32 FPS average, 27 FPS minimum, 37 FPS maximum.
• Ultra: 20 FPS average, no min/max recorded.

1920x1080:

• High: 39 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Low: 69 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Medium: 46 FPS average, 39 FPS minimum, 53 FPS maximum.
• Ultra: 30 FPS average, no min/max recorded.

The data shows a consistent pattern: Low settings deliver the highest frame rates at every resolution, and Medium settings provide the only recorded min/max ranges. The absence of min/max data for Low, High, and Ultra means the database only captures averages for those presets, but the averages are sufficient for comparison.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the Intel Arc B370 ranks 3437 out of 3723 tested combinations in Rust. That places this combo in the bottom 8% of the database. The GPU's 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs is the primary driver of this low position. For context, the Arc B370's benchmark score of 1184 is only 0.2% below the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which is a legacy mobile part. The CPU's 71st percentile ranking does not compensate for the GPU's weak performance in a game like Rust, which appears to scale heavily with GPU capabilities given the resolution-based FPS drops.

The combo rank of 3437 out of 3723 means 286 tested combinations perform worse, but the vast majority of tested hardware outperforms this pairing. The only playable configuration, 1080p Low at 69 FPS, is a narrow margin above the 60 FPS threshold. This is not a combo that offers headroom for higher settings or future updates that might increase system requirements.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest CPU rivals, the Ryzen 5 4600G's closest match is the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, with an average score of 17482 versus 17507, a delta of 0.1%. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395 (0.6% lower), the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614 (0.6% higher), and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648 (0.8% higher). Any of these CPUs would likely produce nearly identical Rust performance when paired with the Arc B370, since the GPU is the bottleneck. The Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE and Ryzen 3 8300GE are particularly close, with deltas under 1%.

For the GPU side, the Arc B370's nearest rivals are all legacy parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% higher), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% higher), AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7% higher), and AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, 1.4% lower). These deltas are all within 1.4%, meaning any of these GPUs would deliver essentially the same Rust frame rates as the Arc B370. The AMD FirePro M2000 is the only one that scores lower, so it would be marginally slower. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 and AMD Radeon HD 7650M would be marginally faster, but not enough to change the verdict: still no playable settings above 1080p Low.

If a user were to swap the Arc B370 for its closest rival, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, the expected FPS difference in Rust would be under 1%, so the playable settings would remain identical. Similarly, swapping the CPU for the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE would not alter the outcome, because the GPU's 5th percentile performance is the limiting factor at every resolution. The database shows that this combo's performance is essentially defined by the GPU, and the CPU's 71st percentile ranking provides no practical benefit in Rust given the GPU's constraints.
