Outriders

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2329th out of 2913 tested combos in Outriders, placing it in the lower half of all tested systems. This pairing produces playable frame rates at 1080p across most settings, but struggles significantly at higher resolutions and with the Ultra preset. The data indicates a system where the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution increases, yet the CPU's six-core configuration still provides sufficient headroom for the game's requirements at lower settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 2329 out of 2913 tested combinations places it in approximately the 20th percentile of all tested systems for Outriders. This is a below-average standing, though the actual measured performance tells a more nuanced story than the raw rank suggests. The position reflects that many other hardware pairings deliver higher average frame rates, but the data also shows this combo can still hit 60 FPS at 1440p High settings, which is relevant for gamers targeting that resolution.

Examining the individual components provides context for this ranking. The CPU holds a 74th percentile ranking against all processors, while the GPU sits at a 65th percentile against all graphics cards. Neither component is exceptionally strong, and their combination produces results that are consistent with what the individual percentile scores would predict. The gap between the CPU's higher percentile and the GPU's lower percentile hints that the graphics card is the limiting factor in most scenarios, a conclusion supported by the resolution scaling data.

The measured frame rates show a system that performs best at 1080p, where it achieves 96 FPS on High settings and 176 FPS on Low settings. At 1440p, performance drops to 61 FPS on High, and at 4K it falls to 32 FPS on High. These numbers suggest that while the rank is low, the combo is capable of delivering acceptable performance for many users, depending on their resolution and settings preferences. The rank should be interpreted as a relative measure against all tested systems, not an absolute judgment of playability.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 brings 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, providing 380.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This memory configuration is a key factor in how the card performs across different resolutions and settings in Outriders. The 10 GB capacity is sufficient for the game's demands at the tested resolutions, as evidenced by the frame rates staying consistent across the measured configurations without signs of memory-related stuttering.

Clock speeds for the Arc B570 are fixed at 2500 MHz for both base and boost, with memory running at 2375 MHz or 19 Gbps effective. The card features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units, along with 18 ray tracing cores. These specifications translate to a measured 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2649 and a PassMark G3D score of 14195, placing the GPU at the 65th percentile against all graphics cards.

The GPU's nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 0.1% higher, the Intel Arc A750 at 0.1% lower, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X at 0.5% lower. This tight clustering indicates the Arc B570 performs in a narrow band relative to these cards. In Outriders specifically, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions, where the frame rate drops more steeply than would be expected if the CPU were the bottleneck. The data shows the GPU is handling the rendering load adequately at 1080p but reaches its limits as pixel count increases.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU limitation. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 176 at 1080p to 111 at 1440p, then to 58 at 4K. This represents a 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 48% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, suggesting the GPU's rendering capacity is being taxed increasingly as resolution rises.

High settings show a similar but slightly less steep curve: 96 FPS at 1080p, 61 FPS at 1440p, and 32 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 36%, and from 1440p to 4K is 48%. Medium settings follow the same pattern with 128, 81, and 42 FPS respectively, while Ultra settings produce 70, 44, and 23 FPS.

The consistent pattern across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rate would not drop as dramatically when resolution increases, because the CPU's workload would remain relatively constant. Instead, the proportional drops suggest the Arc B570's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth are being saturated. The 4K performance, which falls below 60 FPS on all settings, confirms that this combo is not suited for 4K gaming in Outriders, while 1440p remains viable on Low and Medium settings, and 1080p is playable even on Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a six-core, twelve-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename. It operates with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and its 65 W TDP makes it a relatively power-efficient choice. The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide adequate data throughput for the game's demands.

Benchmark results show the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17272 and a single-core score of 2438. Its Geekbench multi-core score is 7986 with a single-core score of 1843. These numbers place the CPU at the 74th percentile against all processors, with an average benchmark score of 20733. The nearest rivals in performance are the Intel Core i5-12490F at 0.3% higher, the Intel Xeon 6325P at 0.4% higher, the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U at 0.4% higher, and the AMD EPYC 7J13 at 0.5% higher.

In the context of Outriders, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU based on the resolution scaling data. The frame rates at 1080p Low settings reaching 176 FPS suggest the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at lower resolutions. However, as resolution increases and frame rates drop, the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The CPU's six cores and twelve threads are sufficient for the game's threading model, as evidenced by the consistent frame rates without signs of CPU-related stuttering or frame pacing issues.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p gaming, the data shows all settings presets are viable. Ultra at 70 FPS provides the best visual quality while maintaining a playable frame rate. High at 96 FPS offers a good balance of visuals and performance, while Medium at 128 FPS and Low at 176 FPS prioritize smoothness. For users with high refresh rate monitors, Low or Medium settings will take better advantage of the display's capabilities.

At 1440p, the recommendation is more selective. Low settings at 111 FPS provide the smoothest experience, while Medium at 81 FPS still offers excellent performance. High settings at 61 FPS are borderline playable, but the minimum frame rate data is only available for Medium, which shows a minimum of 69 FPS. Ultra at 44 FPS is not recommended for a consistent experience.

For 4K, the data suggests this combo is not suitable. Even Low settings at 58 FPS fall short of the 60 FPS threshold, and the visual compromises required to approach playability outweigh the benefits of the higher resolution. Users with 4K displays should consider lowering the resolution to 1440p or 1080p for a better experience.

The optimal configuration based on the measured rows is 1080p with High settings, which provides 96 FPS and a balance between visual fidelity and performance. For competitive or high-refresh-rate play, 1080p Low at 176 FPS is the best choice. At 1440p, Medium settings at 81 FPS offer the best balance, as the minimum frame rate data confirms consistent performance above 60 FPS.
