Dave The Diver

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B370 combination delivers a functional, if unspectacular, experience in Dave The Diver. The benchmark data shows this pairing is positioned near the bottom of the tested combos, with a combo rank of 2642 out of 2867. The results indicate a system that can handle the game at 1080p with ease but struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 4K, particularly when settings are pushed to their limits.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. It operates with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, built on a 7 nm process from TSMC. This 5000 series chip carries a 65 W TDP and is compatible with the AMD Socket AM4 platform, supporting dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The processor includes a 16 MB L3 cache and a 512 KB L2 cache per core, with a 64 KB L1 cache per core.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU demonstrates its multi-threaded capabilities. It scores 17,272 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,438 in single-core. Its Passmark multithread score is 20,325, with a single-thread score of 3,348. The data shows a 74th percentile ranking among all CPUs, placing it in the upper-middle tier of processors overall. Its nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the Intel Core i5-12490F, which is 0.3% faster, and the Intel Xeon 6325P, which is 0.4% faster. This suggests the 5600GT's computational power is competitive with those parts.

For Dave The Diver, an adventure game that is not typically demanding on CPU resources, this processor provides ample headroom. The game's frame rates across all tested settings and resolutions are more likely to be constrained by the graphics subsystem than by the CPU. The 6-core/12-thread configuration ensures that background tasks and game logic will not create a bottleneck. The data indicates that even at the lowest tested frame rate of 33 FPS at 4K Ultra, the CPU is not the limiting factor; rather, the integrated graphics of the GPU is the primary constraint.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, with the chip codenamed Panther Lake. It is manufactured on Intel's 3 nm process and features 1,280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output pipelines. The GPU also includes 10 ray tracing cores. It operates at a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The memory configuration is listed as "System Shared," meaning it relies on the host system's RAM for video memory, with bandwidth described as "System Dependent." The GPU has a power draw of 25 W and integrates directly into the processor package, requiring no power connectors.

The Arc B370's benchmark presence is minimal, with a single recorded score of 1,184 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. This places it in the 5th percentile among all GPUs, indicating it is a very low-performance part. Its nearest rivals in that benchmark are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which is 0.2% faster, and the ATI Radeon HD 5770, which is 0.5% faster. These comparisons underscore that the Arc B370's raw graphics compute power is on par with very old, entry-level discrete graphics cards.

Given this low performance profile, the Arc B370 is the definitive bottleneck in this system for Dave The Diver. The game is not graphically intense, but the IGP's limited shading units and reliance on system memory for VRAM mean that frame rates will scale directly with resolution and settings. The data shows that the GPU's performance is sufficient for 1080p gaming at lower settings, but it exhausts its capabilities quickly as resolution increases.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B370 ranks 2642 out of 2867 tested combos in Dave The Diver. This places it in the bottom 8% of all systems tested, indicating that the GPU severely limits the overall gaming experience despite the CPU's reasonable standing. The CPU's 74th percentile ranking is effectively negated by the GPU's 5th percentile ranking.

Benchmark results show that the CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i5-12490F, have a nearly identical average score, but these processors are typically paired with dedicated graphics cards. In this combo, the CPU's potential is untapped because the integrated graphics cannot translate its computational power into high frame rates. The rank reflects a system that is heavily imbalanced, where the processor is overqualified for the graphics solution it is paired with.

The data suggests that this combo is suitable for light or older games at low resolutions, but for a title like Dave The Diver which has moderate system requirements, the performance is marginal. At 4K, the combo fails to provide a smooth 60 FPS experience at any setting, with the highest average FPS being 49 at Low settings. This rank is a clear indicator that users should seek a more capable GPU if they intend to play at higher resolutions or with more demanding visual settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear trend of performance degradation as resolution increases, confirming that the GPU is the limiting component. At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 65 at 1080p to 49 at 1440p, a 24.6% decrease. Moving from 1440p to 4K, the average FPS drops from 49 to 33, a 32.7% decrease. This scaling pattern is typical for a GPU with limited processing power, as the number of pixels to render quadruples from 1080p to 4K.

At Low settings, the scaling is slightly less severe but still significant. The average FPS decreases from 98 at 1080p to 74 at 1440p, a 24.5% drop, and then to 49 at 4K, a 33.8% drop from 1440p. This indicates that even when the graphical load is reduced, the GPU cannot maintain performance at higher resolutions due to its fixed shader count and memory bandwidth constraints.

The data reveals that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this system. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rates would remain more consistent across different resolutions. Instead, the substantial FPS drops at 4K highlight that the Arc B370's pixel throughput and texture rate are insufficient for high-resolution rendering. The measured scaling suggests that users should stick to 1080p for a consistent experience, as the performance at 1440p and 4K becomes increasingly unstable.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for Dave The Diver with this combo depend on the user's target resolution. At 1080p, the Ultra preset yields an average FPS of 65, which is playable but not ideal for a smooth experience. The High preset at 1080p produces 73 FPS average, which is a better balance between visual quality and performance. However, the Medium preset at 1080p provides 82 FPS average, offering a more fluid experience while still maintaining decent visuals.

For users who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, the Low preset at 1080p is the best choice, delivering an average of 98 FPS. This is the only setting where the system approaches the 100 FPS mark. At 1440p, the Low preset gives 74 FPS average, which is acceptable, while the Medium preset gives 62 FPS average, which is slightly below the 60 FPS target. The High and Ultra presets at 1440p yield 55 and 49 FPS respectively, which may be too low for some users.

At 4K, none of the settings provide a consistent 60 FPS experience. The Low preset gives 49 FPS average, which is the best possible result, but it still falls short. The Medium preset gives 41 FPS, High gives 37 FPS, and Ultra gives 33 FPS. Therefore, the recommendation is to use the Low preset at 4K if the user insists on that resolution, but the data suggests that 1080p with Medium or High settings is the most balanced configuration for this hardware.
