Outriders

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the Intel Arc B370 is a combination that lands near the bottom of the performance hierarchy for Outriders, securing the 2679th spot out of 2913 tested combos. This places it in the 8th percentile of all configurations, indicating that while the system is functional, it struggles to deliver a consistently smooth experience at higher resolutions and graphical presets. The data shows a platform defined by a strong, modern CPU that is severely bottlenecked by a low-power integrated GPU, resulting in a gaming experience that is best suited for 1080p play on medium-to-low settings.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 2913 tested CPU and GPU combinations in Outriders, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and Intel Arc B370 ranks 2679th. That places it in the bottom 8% of all systems tested, a position that reflects the significant performance disparity between the two components. The ranking is not a measure of failure but rather a clear indicator that the GPU is the limiting factor in nearly every scenario, holding back what is otherwise a capable processor.

This low rank is driven entirely by the Arc B370’s position in the GPU hierarchy. The graphics chip sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. Its nearest rivals in that benchmark are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which scores 1186 (0.2% higher), and the ATI Radeon HD 5770, which scores 1190 (0.5% higher). The delta between the Arc B370 and these older parts is negligible, meaning the GPU is performing at a level comparable to hardware from over a decade ago. In contrast, the Ryzen 5 7400F sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32750. This places it just ahead of the Intel Core i5-14600T (32707, 0.1% slower) and Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (32697, 0.2% slower), and slightly behind the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (32812, 0.2% faster).

The result is a combo where the CPU is capable of far more than the GPU can deliver. In Outriders, this translates to a system that will consistently hit low frame rates at higher settings, as the GPU becomes saturated long before the CPU can flex its multi-threaded muscle. The 2679th rank is a direct consequence of this imbalance, and any analysis of this pairing must acknowledge that the GPU is the primary bottleneck. For users, this means that the combo’s overall standing in the database is a reflection of the graphics solution, not the processor.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor built on Intel’s 3nm process with the Xe3-LPG architecture, part of the Arc Graphics-M generation based on the Panther Lake chip. Its specifications are modest: 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output pipelines. It also includes 10 ray tracing cores, though the game’s performance suggests that ray tracing is not a viable option at playable frame rates. The GPU operates at a base clock of 300 MHz and boosts to 2400 MHz, producing a peak FP32 throughput of 6.144 TFLOPS. Its pixel fill rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s.

Memory is the most significant limitation. The Arc B370 uses system shared memory, meaning it has no dedicated VRAM of its own. The memory type, bus width, and bandwidth are all listed as “System Shared” or “System Dependent,” which means the GPU must compete with the CPU for access to the same DDR5 memory pool. In Outriders, this shared memory architecture has a direct impact on performance, particularly at higher resolutions where the demand for memory bandwidth increases. The GPU’s 25W TDP and IGP slot width confirm it is designed for low-power, portable devices, not for sustained high-end gaming.

The benchmark data shows the Arc B370 scoring 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, a result that places it just below the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186) and ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190). The delta percentages are minimal—0.2% and 0.5% slower than those parts, respectively—which highlights just how far behind modern discrete GPUs this integrated solution is. In Outriders, this translates to average frame rates that dip below 20 FPS at 4K Ultra, and even at 1080p Low, the GPU manages just 104 FPS. The GPU’s role in this combo is to be the limiting factor; its low score and shared memory design ensure that the CPU’s potential is never fully realized in this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 (Raphael) architecture, built on TSMC’s 5nm process. It runs at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts up to 4.70 GHz, with a 65W TDP. The CPU supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and includes 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Its 5nm process node and 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die make it a modern, efficient part, and its 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms its strength in general compute tasks.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7400F posts strong numbers. It scores 21,765 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3,072 in single-core, while PassMark multithread and single-thread scores come in at 25,645 and 3,689, respectively. These results place it in company with the Intel Core i5-14600T, which has an average score of 32707 (0.1% lower), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H at 32812 (0.2% higher). The CPU’s performance is well above what the Arc B370 can feed, meaning that in Outriders, the processor is rarely the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, where the GPU is less stressed, the CPU can help push frame rates to 104 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 13 FPS, a clear sign that the GPU has taken over as the limiting factor.

The CPU’s role in this combo is to provide a solid foundation that is never fully utilized. Its 12 threads are more than enough for Outriders, a looter shooter that benefits from strong single-core performance but does not require extreme multi-threading. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s boost clock of 4.70 GHz ensures that single-threaded workloads are handled efficiently, but the GPU’s inability to render frames quickly means the CPU spends much of its time waiting. In essence, the CPU is overqualified for the GPU it is paired with, and the measured FPS data reflects this imbalance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. On Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 104 FPS, which is playable for most users. Medium settings drop the average to 75 FPS, with a minimum of 64 FPS and a maximum of 87 FPS, providing a smooth experience with some headroom. High settings bring the average down to 57 FPS, which is still acceptable for a single-player game, but Ultra settings fall to 41 FPS, indicating that the GPU is starting to struggle with the increased graphical load.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops are more pronounced. Low settings yield an average of 65 FPS, a 37.5% reduction from 1080p Low, but still playable. Medium settings average 48 FPS, with a minimum of 40 FPS and maximum of 55 FPS, which is borderline for a smooth experience. High settings drop to 36 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 26 FPS. At this resolution, the GPU’s shared memory architecture and low pixel throughput become evident, as the system struggles to maintain 60 FPS even on Low settings.

At 3840x2160, the combo is largely out of its depth. Low settings average 34 FPS, which is technically playable but not smooth. Medium settings average 25 FPS, with a minimum of 21 FPS and maximum of 29 FPS, and High settings drop to 19 FPS. Ultra settings are nearly unplayable at an average of 13 FPS. The data shows a clear trend: the Arc B370 cannot handle 4K resolutions in Outriders, regardless of settings. The only preset that approaches playability at 4K is Low, and even then, the frame rate is below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider acceptable.

The measured FPS data includes specific minimum and maximum values only for Medium settings across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the frame rate ranges from 64 to 87 FPS, at 1440p Medium from 40 to 55 FPS, and at 4K Medium from 21 to 29 FPS. These ranges indicate that the GPU is consistent in its performance, with no major frame time spikes, but the overall averages are low enough to limit the gaming experience.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a GPU that is heavily taxed by resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the average frame rate is 104 FPS. Dropping to 1440p Low reduces this to 65 FPS, a 37.5% decrease, and at 4K Low, the average falls to 34 FPS, a 67.3% decrease from 1080p. This pattern is consistent across all settings. For High settings, the drop from 1080p (57 FPS) to 1440p (36 FPS) is a 36.8% reduction, and to 4K (19 FPS) is a 66.7% reduction. Medium settings show a similar trend: 75 FPS at 1080p, 48 FPS at 1440p (36% lower), and 25 FPS at 4K (66.7% lower). Ultra settings are the worst, with 41 FPS at 1080p, 26 FPS at 1440p (36.6% lower), and 13 FPS at 4K (68.3% lower).

The consistent percentage drop across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at every resolution. The CPU, with its high single-thread and multi-thread scores, is not causing frame rate reductions as resolution increases. Instead, the Arc B370’s limited pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth are the culprits. At 1080p, the GPU can keep up with the CPU’s demands to some extent, but as the pixel count rises, the GPU falls further behind. The fact that the frame rate drops by roughly two-thirds from 1080p to 4K at every setting is a strong sign that the GPU is saturated, and the CPU’s role is diminished to the point of irrelevance at higher resolutions.

This scaling behavior also explains the combo’s low rank in the database. A system with a more balanced GPU would show smaller percentage drops between resolutions, but here, the Arc B370’s limitations are exposed at every step. The data suggests that for this combo, 1080p is the only resolution where playable frame rates are achievable, and even then, only on Low or Medium settings. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the sole bottleneck, and the CPU’s performance is wasted.
