Dave The Diver

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a remarkably smooth experience in Dave The Diver, with the data showing this combination is capable of high frame rates across all tested resolutions. The dataset reveals a system where the GPU is the primary scaling factor as resolution increases, while the CPU provides ample headroom even at 1080p. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, ranking, and optimal settings for this specific hardware pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K clearly identifies the Intel Arc B570 as the performance limiter at higher resolutions, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 remains largely untaxed. At 1080p with Ultra settings, the combo produces an average of 110 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same Ultra preset drops the average to 83 FPS, a 24.5% reduction. Pushing further to 4K Ultra yields just 55 FPS, representing a 50% decrease from the 1080p result. This steep decline is classic GPU-bound behavior; the rendering load scales with pixel count, and the Arc B570's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 160-bit bus width become the constraining factors.

The pattern holds across all settings presets. With High settings, the averages are 124 FPS at 1080p, 94 FPS at 1440p, and 63 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is 24.2%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 33%. At Low settings, the numbers are 167 FPS, 125 FPS, and 84 FPS respectively. Notably, the 1080p Low result of 167 FPS is the highest frame rate in the entire measured dataset, suggesting that even at the lowest graphical load, the CPU is not the limiting factor; if it were, we would see a plateau as resolution drops.

The scaling behavior indicates that Dave The Diver is not particularly demanding on the CPU side. The Ryzen 5 7600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 architecture, delivers single-thread performance that is more than sufficient for this title. The measured FPS drop from 1080p to 4K at each settings level is consistent with a GPU that is running out of pixel throughput and memory bandwidth, not a CPU struggling to feed it. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, this combo is well-balanced, but at 4K, the Arc B570 is clearly the component determining the final frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2282 out of 2867 tested combos for Dave The Diver. This places it in the 79.6th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning it outperforms roughly four out of every five other CPU-GPU pairings tested in this game. Given the game's relatively modest graphical demands, this rank is respectable but not top-tier, reflecting the mid-range positioning of the GPU.

The ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU's performance class. The Intel Arc B570 sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rivals in the synthetic benchmarks are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (with a delta of 0.1%), the Intel Arc A750 (delta of -0.1%), and the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (delta of 0.4%). This places the Arc B570 in a competitive performance band, but it is not a high-end part capable of dominating a game like Dave The Diver at maximum settings and high resolutions.

On the CPU side, the Ryzen 5 7600 performs at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26324. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (0.2% faster), the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (0.3% slower), and the Intel Core i9-11900KF (0.4% faster). The CPU's performance is clearly not the bottleneck here, as its percentile ranking is higher than the GPU's. The combo's overall rank of 2282 suggests that while the CPU is capable, the GPU limits the system's ability to compete with higher-end configurations that pair stronger graphics cards with similar or more powerful processors. For a game like Dave The Diver, this rank indicates a system that will provide a fluid experience at mainstream resolutions but will trail behind combos featuring higher-tier GPUs at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1080p, the Medium preset delivers an average of 139 FPS with a minimum of 118 FPS and a maximum of 160 FPS. This is the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate monitors, as it provides a substantial frame rate boost over the High preset (124 FPS) and Ultra preset (110 FPS), while the visual difference between Medium and High in a game like Dave The Diver is often minimal. The Low preset achieves 167 FPS, but the visual quality trade-off is likely not worth the extra 28 FPS over Medium, especially when the Medium preset already clears the 144Hz threshold.

For 1440p, the High preset is the recommended choice, producing an average of 94 FPS. The Medium preset is also viable at 105 FPS, but the High preset offers a better balance of visual fidelity and performance for most users. The Ultra preset drops to 83 FPS, which is still playable but may feel less smooth on a 144Hz display. The Low preset at 125 FPS is a competitive option for esports-style play, but the graphical downgrade is significant for a game with such a charming art style.

At 4K, the situation becomes more constrained. The High preset yields an average of 63 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset averages 70 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS, making it the safest choice for a consistent experience. The Ultra preset drops to 55 FPS, which is below the desired 60 FPS target and may result in noticeable stuttering. The Low preset at 84 FPS is the only way to get a truly comfortable margin above 60 FPS at 4K, but it sacrifices visual quality. For 4K, the Medium preset is the best overall recommendation, as it stays above the 60 FPS floor in the measured minimums.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete dataset for this combo shows a clear and predictable performance hierarchy based on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are consistently high across all presets. The Low preset averages 167 FPS, the Medium preset averages 139 FPS with a minimum of 118 and a maximum of 160, the High preset averages 124 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 110 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 57 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU has enough headroom at 1080p to handle a wide range of visual settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops but remains strong. The Low preset averages 125 FPS, the Medium preset averages 105 FPS with a minimum of 89 and a maximum of 121, the High preset averages 94 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 83 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 42 FPS, indicating that the GPU is starting to feel the pressure of the increased pixel count. The minimum FPS for the Medium preset at 89 FPS is still well above the 60 FPS target, so there is no risk of stutter at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance is noticeably lower. The Low preset averages 84 FPS, the Medium preset averages 70 FPS with a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 81, the High preset averages 63 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 55 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 29 FPS, a much smaller margin than at lower resolutions. This compression of frame rates at 4K confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor; as the resolution increases, the difference between settings presets shrinks because the GPU is already working at its maximum capacity. The only minimum FPS recorded in the entire dataset is at 4K Medium (60 FPS), which is a critical data point for ensuring a stutter-free experience at that resolution.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 plays a central role in determining the performance ceiling for this combo in Dave The Diver. The GPU's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory is sufficient for this title, even at 4K, as the game's textures and geometry are not overly demanding. However, the memory bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s and the 160-bit bus width are the key specifications that limit performance at higher resolutions. The data shows that the FPS drops are consistent with a memory-bandwidth-constrained GPU, especially at 4K where the pixel throughput demands are highest.

The Arc B570's clock speeds are static at 2500 MHz for both base and boost, which is unusual but indicates a fixed power envelope. The GPU's 80 ROPs and 144 TMUs provide adequate pixel and texture processing rates (200.0 GPixel/s and 360.0 GTexel/s respectively), but these are not exceptional figures for a modern GPU. The FP32 performance of 11.52 TFLOPS is solid for a mid-range card, but it is not enough to brute-force 4K Ultra settings in most games, and Dave The Diver is no exception.

The GPU's 65th percentile ranking and its proximity to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile in synthetic benchmarks (a delta of only 0.1%) suggest that the Arc B570 is a competitive mid-range option. However, the measured FPS data in Dave The Diver shows that it struggles to maintain 60 FPS at 4K Ultra, averaging just 55 FPS. The VRAM capacity of 10 GB is not the issue here; rather, it is the combination of the 160-bit memory interface and the GPU's overall compute throughput that creates the bottleneck at 4K. The card is more than capable at 1080p and 1440p, where it delivers frame rates well above 60 FPS at most settings, but its limitations are exposed at 4K.
