How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the Intel Arc B580 places 1249th out of 1626 tested combinations in Dave The Diver. This positioning is not a condemnation of the hardware; rather, it reflects the sheer volume of higher-tier configurations in the database. The combo sits in the lower-mid tier of tested systems, and the percentile data for the individual components offers context. The CPU ranks in the 75th percentile against all processors, while the GPU is in the 66th percentile against all graphics cards. This suggests the pairing is reasonably balanced in a general compute sense, but the game’s demands and the specific strengths of these parts dictate the final in-game ranking.

The deltaPct values from the nearest rivals show how close the competition is at this performance level. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 17489 is virtually identical to the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17482), with a delta of 0. It is also within 0.1% of the Intel Core i5-12450H (17475) and trails the Intel Core i3-14100T (17636) by 0.8% and the Intel Core i3-13100F (17665) by 1.0%. For the GPU, the Arc B580’s average score of 23021 is within 0.1% of the AMD Radeon 760M (22999) and 0.3% of the NVIDIA P106-100 (22950). It actually leads the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (22729) by 1.3%, but falls 0.7% short of the desktop RTX 4060 (23181). These narrow margins indicate that in a broader benchmarking context, this combination is operating in a very crowded field where minor architectural differences can shift the ranking.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, fabricated on a 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. For a game like Dave The Diver, which is an adventure title with a mix of 2D and 3D elements, the CPU’s single-thread performance is often more critical than raw multi-threaded throughput. The benchmark data shows a single-thread score of 726 in 3DMark and 1919 in Cinebench R23, which are modest figures. This indicates that the CPU can handle the game’s logic, AI, and physics calculations without becoming a severe bottleneck, but it is not a high-end performer in this regard.

The multi-threaded scores, such as 13593 in Cinebench R23 and 15992 in Passmark multithread, are respectable for a 6-core part. This suggests that if the game engine leverages multiple threads for background tasks or asset streaming, the 4600G has enough headroom. The 8 MB of shared L3 cache is a limiting factor compared to larger-cache parts, but for a game with relatively simple scenes, this is unlikely to cause noticeable frame pacing issues. The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, using dual-channel DDR4, is adequate for feeding the GPU, though it is not exceptional. In the context of the measured FPS, the CPU appears to be sufficient to keep up with the GPU at lower resolutions, but at higher settings and resolutions, the load shifts more heavily to the graphics card.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is a dedicated graphics card built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, using a 5 nm process. It features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, resulting in a bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s. This memory capacity and bandwidth are substantial for an adventure game, allowing for high-resolution textures and smooth asset streaming without stutter. The GPU has a base and boost clock of 2670 MHz, with memory running at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). Its compute capabilities include 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, which translate to a texture rate of 427.2 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s.

In Dave The Diver, the GPU’s role is to render the detailed underwater environments and character sprites. The Arc B580’s 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is more than enough for this title, as evidenced by the measured frame rates. The GPU’s performance percentile of 66 against all GPUs, while lower than the CPU’s 75th percentile, still places it well above the median. The nearest rival data shows it is competitive with the RTX 4060, trailing by only 0.7% in average benchmark score. This indicates that the Arc B580 is a capable mid-range card that, for this specific game, provides high frame rates even at 4K resolution. The 12 GB VRAM is a particular advantage, ensuring that even the Ultra settings at 4K do not exceed memory limits.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent scaling pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves an average of 188.3 FPS on Low settings, which is an excellent result for a 1080p experience. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 157.3 FPS, and at High it is 142.2 FPS. At Ultra, the average is 123.5 FPS. This progression shows that the game is highly playable at all settings at 1080p, with the Ultra setting still delivering over 120 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a more pronounced impact from the settings. Low settings yield an average of 143.1 FPS, which is only a 24% drop from the 1080p Low figure. Medium averages 118.5 FPS, High averages 107.8 FPS, and Ultra averages 93.3 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p is about 35%, indicating that the GPU is being pushed harder as the pixel count increases. At 3840x2160, the performance is still respectable but the settings have a significant effect. Low settings average 96.2 FPS, Medium averages 80.3 FPS, High averages 69.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 62.8 FPS. The 4K Ultra result, while lower, is still above 60 FPS, making it a viable option for players with high-refresh-rate 4K displays.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling from 1080p to 4K demonstrates a clear trend of diminishing returns as the GPU becomes more heavily loaded. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 188.3 at 1080p to 143.1 at 1440p and then to 96.2 at 4K. This represents a 49% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings. At Ultra settings, the drop is from 123.5 FPS at 1080p to 93.3 FPS at 1440p and then to 62.8 FPS at 4K, a 49% reduction as well. This consistent scaling suggests that the performance is primarily GPU-limited at higher resolutions, as the relative drop is similar across all settings.

The data indicates that the limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU’s single-thread performance may be a more significant factor, as the frame rates are high enough that the GPU is not fully saturated. The fact that the 1080p Low setting hits 188.3 FPS suggests the CPU is capable of pushing the GPU to its limits at that resolution. However, as resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the pixel count and shading load become the dominant factors. The GPU’s 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 13.67 TFLOPS of compute power are then fully utilized, leading to the observed frame rate drops. The 4K Ultra result of 62.8 FPS is a strong indicator that the Intel Arc B580 is the primary bottleneck at that setting, while the 4600G’s 75th percentile CPU performance is sufficient to avoid holding the system back.
