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

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. Its 3.50 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost clock provide the computational foundation for this pairing. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a 3dmark single-thread score of 882 and a max-threads score of 5659, with Cinebench R23 results of 2584 single-core and 18309 multi-core. The PassMark multithread score of 21541 and single-thread score of 3256 further quantify its processing capability.

Dave The Diver is an adventure game that typically does not stress CPU resources as heavily as GPU resources, but the 5600's performance envelope still matters. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth help maintain steady frame delivery. The processor sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21765. Its nearest rival, the Intel Xeon D-1746TER, scores 21635, just 0.6% lower, while the AMD EPYC 9554P scores 21899, 0.6% higher. These close margins show that the 5600 is positioned in a dense performance cluster.

For this game, the CPU's 12 threads are more than sufficient. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo reaches 184.8 FPS average, which indicates the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower graphical loads. The 3dmark 2-thread score of 1737 and 4-thread score of 3313 reveal that the processor scales well with moderate thread counts, which aligns with the demands of an adventure title that relies on single-thread responsiveness for game logic and physics.

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

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p High settings, the combo averages 137.8 FPS. Moving to 1440p High reduces this to 105.6 FPS, a drop of 32.2 FPS. At 4K High, the average falls to 71.5 FPS, another 34.1 FPS reduction. This progression shows that the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as resolution increases.

The Low settings tier tells a similar story. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 184.8 FPS, which drops to 138.8 FPS at 1440p Low and further to 91.8 FPS at 4K Low. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is approximately 50.3%, while at High settings the drop is approximately 48.1%. These consistent reductions across settings indicate that the Intel Arc B580's rendering throughput is the constraining component at higher resolutions, rather than the CPU.

At 1440p, the frame rates remain playable across all settings, ranging from 95.5 FPS at Ultra to 138.8 FPS at Low. The 4K Ultra result of 59.8 FPS is the only configuration that dips below the 60 FPS threshold, which suggests that the GPU's 13.67 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 213.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are adequate for most scenarios but stretched at maximum settings in 4K. The 12 GB VRAM capacity does not appear to be a limiting factor, as the game likely fits within this allocation even at 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo ranking of 1279 out of 1626 places this pairing in the 21st percentile of tested configurations. This means that approximately 79% of the hardware combinations in the database achieve better average frame rates in Dave The Diver. The ranking reflects the combined performance of the Ryzen 5 5600 and Arc B580, and while both components are individually capable, the pairing does not excel in this particular title.

The CPU's percentile rank of 79 among all CPUs indicates that the processor is above average, but the GPU's percentile rank of 66 among all GPUs shows that the graphics card is more modestly positioned. The combination of a strong CPU with a mid-tier GPU results in a system that is balanced but not top-tier. The nearest GPU rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, which scores 0.7% higher in average benchmark, and the RTX 4060 Mobile, which trails by 1.3%. These close margins suggest that the B580 is competitive with popular mid-range options, yet the overall combo rank of 1279 indicates that many other pairings in the database leverage stronger GPUs or better CPU-GPU synergies.

The measured FPS data shows that the combo delivers smooth performance at 1080p and 1440p, which may be sufficient for many users, but the rank reflects a broader comparison across the database's tested combos. The game's release date of 2023-06-27 means it is not a particularly new title, and the hardware pairing performs adequately without reaching the upper echelons of the ranking.

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

The Intel Arc B580 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture and fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process. It contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, with a base and boost clock of 2670 MHz. The GPU has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, along with 20 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 performance is 13.67 TFLOPS, and it delivers 427.2 GTexel/s texture rate and 213.6 GPixel/s pixel rate.

The 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, which is substantial for a mid-range GPU. This memory configuration supports the frame rates observed in the data. The GPU's average benchmark score of 23021 places it at the 66th percentile among all GPUs, with its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon 760M, scoring 22999 (0.1% lower) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 scoring 23181 (0.7% higher).

The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility ensure broad API coverage for modern games. In Dave The Diver, the GPU's performance is consistent across settings, with the 1080p Low result of 184.8 FPS showing headroom that suggests the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions. The 4K Ultra result of 59.8 FPS indicates that the GPU's 13.67 TFLOPS are near their limit when pushing maximum settings at high pixel counts. The GPU's pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 427.2 GTexel/s directly influence how quickly the game's visuals can be rendered.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers average frame rates that range widely based on settings. Low settings produce 184.8 FPS, Medium produces 155.8 FPS, High produces 137.8 FPS, and Ultra produces 121.3 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 63.5 FPS, representing a 34.4% reduction from the lowest to the highest quality preset.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS values are 138.8 for Low, 117.7 for Medium, 105.6 for High, and 95.5 for Ultra. The spread between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 43.3 FPS, which is a 31.2% drop. When comparing 1440p to 1080p at the same settings, Low settings drop by 46 FPS, Medium by 38.1 FPS, High by 32.2 FPS, and Ultra by 25.8 FPS. This narrowing gap at higher settings indicates that the GPU is increasingly the limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS values are 91.8 for Low, 81.2 for Medium, 71.5 for High, and 59.8 for Ultra. The drop from 1440p to 4K at Low settings is 47 FPS, at Medium it is 36.5 FPS, at High it is 34.1 FPS, and at Ultra it is 35.7 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 59.8 FPS is the only measured value below 60 FPS, while all other configurations remain above this threshold.

The data shows that the combo is most comfortable at 1080p and 1440p, where even Ultra settings maintain average frame rates above 95 FPS. The 4K resolution is playable at Low and Medium settings, with 91.8 and 81.2 FPS respectively, but High and Ultra presets push the GPU harder, resulting in 71.5 and 59.8 FPS. The scaling pattern across all settings confirms that the Intel Arc B580 is the primary determinant of performance, with the Ryzen 5 5600 providing ample CPU headroom throughout the tested configurations.
