Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was measured with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and Intel Arc B580 across 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, using Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets. The fastest measured result is 526.6 fps at 1080p Low, and the slowest is 134.9 fps at 4K Ultra. Because the minimum and maximum FPS fields are null, this analysis is based on average FPS only. The CPU was released on 2024-07-30, the GPU on 2024-12-12, and the game on 2012-08-20, so this is a modern pairing running an older competitive shooter.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS drops consistently as resolution increases, but the combo never falls below 134.9 fps in any row. At Low settings, the average FPS is 526.6 at 1080p, 359.3 at 1440p, and 211.4 at 4K. At Medium, it is 444.3, then 306.8, then 178.7. At High, it is 383.0, then 266.0, then 159.6. At Ultra, it is 330.5, then 225.5, then 134.9.

Every preset follows the same resolution order: 1080p produces the highest result, 1440p the next, and 4K the lowest. The 1080p Low result of 526.6 stands out because it is far above the 4K Ultra result of 134.9, indicating that the CPU has enough power to push very high frame rates when the GPU is less loaded. The 4K Low result of 211.4 also shows that even at 4K, the GPU can maintain a very playable average for this game. The shape of the data suggests that at 1080p Low, the limiting factor is less likely to be the GPU, while at 4K Ultra, the GPU becomes the heavier constraint. The measured rows do not include frame pacing, so the analysis cannot address frame-time stability, only average throughput.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank in CS:GO is 1263 out of 1605 tested combinations. That is a low position for a pairing whose CPU sits in the 86th percentile of all CPUs and whose GPU sits in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. The CPU has an average benchmark score of 29774, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE at 29740, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS at 29856, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 at 29682, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H at 29868. The listed deltaPct values place the 5800XT within 0.1% of the 5755GE, within 0.3% of the AI 7 PRO 360, and within -0.3% of the 6800HS and 7840H.

The GPU has an average benchmark score of 23021, with nearest rivals including the AMD Radeon 760M at 22999, the NVIDIA P106-100 at 22950, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 at 23181, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile at 22729. Its deltaPct values are 0.1% relative to the Radeon 760M, 0.3% relative to the P106-100, -0.7% relative to the RTX 4060, and 1.3% relative to the RTX 4060 Mobile. Despite these component-level scores, the combined in-game rank of 1263 shows that high CPU and GPU benchmark positions do not automatically translate to a top CS:GO combo placement. This suggests the game’s performance ranking is influenced by the specific combination rather than by either component alone.

The table shows a strict ordering at every resolution: Low produces the highest average FPS, Medium is next, High follows, and Ultra is the slowest. At 1080p, the range runs from 526.6 fps on Low to 330.5 fps on Ultra. At 1440p, it runs from 359.3 fps on Low to 225.5 fps on Ultra. At 4K, it runs from 211.4 fps on Low to 134.9 fps on Ultra. The data also shows that even the highest visual preset at 4K remains above 134.9 fps, while even the lowest preset at 1080p stays above 526.6 fps.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 uses the Xe2-HPG architecture and the BMG-G21 chip, built on a 5 nm TSMC process. Its base and boost clocks are both 2670 MHz. The memory subsystem consists of 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, with a 2375 MHz memory clock, 19 Gbps effective, and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. The GPU has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. Its rated pixel rate is 213.6 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 427.2 GTexel/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Arc B580 scores 15748 in Passmark G3D and holds the 66th percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 23021, placing it in the same neighborhood as the AMD Radeon 760M, NVIDIA P106-100, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile according to the listed deltaPct values. In CS:GO, the GPU is handling workloads from 1080p Low to 4K Ultra. The 4K Low result of 211.4 fps and the 4K High result of 159.6 fps indicate that the card has enough throughput for high-resolution play in this game. The 12 GB capacity is the headline memory figure, and the measured FPS data does not show any row falling below 134.9 fps even at the maximum preset.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clean list of choices. Low is the fastest preset at every resolution, with 526.6 fps at 1080p, 359.3 fps at 1440p, and 211.4 fps at 4K. Medium is the next highest, with 444.3 fps, 306.8 fps, and 178.7 fps across the same resolutions. High follows with 383.0 fps, 266.0 fps, and 159.6 fps. Ultra is the slowest, with 330.5 fps, 225.5 fps, and 134.9 fps.

For players who want the highest average FPS, Low is the clear measured option. For players who want a visual upgrade while keeping a high frame rate, Medium offers the next-best measured row at each resolution. At 4K, High at 159.6 fps is close to Medium at 178.7 fps, while Ultra at 134.9 fps is a larger step down. The data suggests that Medium or High provides a more balanced experience than Ultra, especially at 1440p and 4K, where the gains from Ultra are accompanied by the lowest FPS in each resolution group.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is a Zen 3 desktop processor on the AMD Socket AM4 platform. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. It uses 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth. The CPU is built on TSMC’s 7 nm process and contains 4,150 million transistors.

The CPU’s synthetic results are strong enough to explain the very high frame rates in CS:GO. It scores 23794 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 3359 in Cinebench R23 single-core. In 3DMark, it scores 959 single-thread, 3603 for 4 threads, 6141 for 8 threads, and 7680 for max threads. Passmark single-thread is 3538, and Passmark multithread is 27988. With an 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs, the processor sits well above average. The 1080p Low result of 526.6 fps is the strongest sign that the CPU is capable of driving this older title at very high frame rates, especially compared with the 4K Ultra result of 134.9 fps. The 8 cores and 16 threads give the CPU substantial multithreaded headroom, while the single-thread scores indicate that per-core performance is also strong. That combination of high single-thread performance and high multicore headroom appears consistent with the measured CS:GO results.
