Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077’s measured performance with the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel Arc B570 places this combo in the 2316th position out of 2920 tested combinations. The data indicates a system that is heavily constrained by the graphics card, particularly at higher resolutions, but which maintains a reasonably playable experience at 1080p with lower settings.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture (Battlemage generation) using a 5 nm TSMC process. It houses 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. The GPU operates at a fixed 2500 MHz base and boost clock, with memory clocked at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). Its 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 80 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s. The card's FP32 throughput is 11.52 TFLOPS.

These specifications directly explain the GPU's role in Cyberpunk 2077's results. The game is demanding on both memory capacity and bandwidth, especially at higher resolutions. The 10 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at most settings, but the 160-bit bus and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth become a limiting factor as resolution increases. The measured FPS data shows a steep decline from 1080p to 4K, which is consistent with a GPU that struggles to feed its own processing units at higher pixel counts.

The Arc B570's overall benchmark percentile stands at 65 versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (avg score 20534, deltaPct 0.1) and the Intel Arc A750 (avg score 20582, deltaPct -0.1). The deltaPct values are minimal, indicating that the B570 performs essentially on par with these alternatives in synthetic benchmarks. In Cyberpunk 2077, this translates to the GPU being the primary bottleneck, as evidenced by the FPS scaling pattern across resolutions.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, based on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael). It operates at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts to 5.10 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB L1 cache per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3 cache. Its memory bandwidth is 83.2 GB/s via dual-channel DDR5 support. The processor is built on a 5 nm TSMC process with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die.

In the context of Cyberpunk 2077, the Ryzen 5 7600 provides ample compute headroom. The CPU's percentile versus all CPUs is 78, with an average benchmark score of 26324. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (avg score 26274, deltaPct 0.2) and the Intel Core i9-11900KF (avg score 26212, deltaPct 0.4). The 3DMark results show a single-thread score of 999 and a max-thread score of 6503, indicating strong single-core performance that is often critical for game logic and physics.

The data suggests that the CPU is rarely the limiting factor in this combo. At 1080p Low, the average FPS reaches 76, which is significantly higher than at 4K, suggesting that the GPU is the constraint. The CPU's 12 threads and high boost clock are sufficient for Cyberpunk 2077's threaded workload, but the game's heavy graphical demands mean the GPU is the bottleneck in all measured scenarios. Even at 1080p Ultra (39 FPS average), the CPU likely has headroom remaining, as the GPU is saturated with rendering tasks.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 76 FPS average. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 56 FPS, and at 4K Low it falls to 37 FPS. This represents a 51% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings. The trend is consistent across all settings presets.

At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 56 at 1080p to 42 at 1440p and 27 at 4K. The High preset shows 41 FPS at 1080p, 31 at 1440p, and 20 at 4K. Ultra settings yield 39 FPS at 1080p, 29 at 1440p, and 19 at 4K. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at High settings is a 51% reduction, while at Ultra it is a 51% reduction as well.

This resolution scaling pattern strongly indicates that the GPU is the limiting component. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect similar FPS across resolutions at the same settings, because the CPU workload (game logic, physics, AI) does not change with resolution. Instead, the FPS drops proportionally with pixel count, which is the hallmark of a GPU-bound scenario. The Arc B570's 10 GB VRAM and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient to maintain higher frame rates at 4K, particularly with the game's demanding graphical features.

The data also shows that the gap between settings presets narrows at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 37 FPS (76 vs 39). At 4K, this difference shrinks to 18 FPS (37 vs 19). This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is so constrained by memory bandwidth and fill rate that even reducing graphical quality has diminishing returns.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2316th out of 2920 tested combos in Cyberpunk 2077. This places it in the bottom 21% of all tested systems, indicating that it is not a high-performing configuration for this particular game.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured data suggests that the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate.

For 1080p gaming, the Low preset at 76 FPS is the only option that provides a consistently smooth experience above 60 FPS. However, the Medium preset at 56 FPS is a strong alternative if visual quality is prioritized over the last few frames, as it remains close to the 60 FPS threshold and offers better graphical fidelity. The High preset at 41 FPS and Ultra at 39 FPS are playable but not ideal for fast-paced action sequences, which may cause noticeable frame drops.

At 1440p, the Low preset at 56 FPS is the only playable option, and even it falls short of 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 42 FPS is functional for a slower-paced playthrough, but the High (31 FPS) and Ultra (29 FPS) presets are too low for comfortable gameplay. Users prioritizing visual quality over frame rate might accept Medium at 42 FPS, but the experience will be less fluid.

For 4K gaming, none of the presets achieve a playable frame rate. The Low preset at 37 FPS is the highest achievable, but it is still below the threshold for smooth gameplay. The Ultra preset at 19 FPS is effectively unplayable. Given the data, 4K is not recommended for this combo unless the user is willing to accept very low frame rates and significant visual compromises.

The best overall experience is at 1080p with Medium settings, balancing the 56 FPS average with improved visuals over Low. The min/max spread of 47-64 FPS indicates acceptable frame consistency. For users who absolutely require 60+ FPS, the Low preset at 1080p is the only viable choice, but it sacrifices visual quality. The data shows diminishing returns when increasing settings from Medium to High at 1080p, as the FPS drops from 56 to 41, a 27% reduction for a modest visual upgrade.
