Outriders

AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B570 pairing in Outriders delivers a data set that clearly maps the performance curve from 1080p to 4K. The measured frames per second show a consistent, predictable decline as resolution climbs, which is the classic signature of a GPU-bound workload at higher pixel counts. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 176 FPS, while the same settings at 2560x1440 yield 111 FPS, and at 3840x2160 the figure drops to 58 FPS. This progression is not linear; the jump from 1080p to 1440p costs 65 FPS, while the jump from 1440p to 4K costs another 53 FPS. The data indicates that the Arc B570's rendering pipeline is the primary limiter as resolution increases, with the CPU's headroom becoming less relevant beyond 1080p.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling behavior across the three tested resolutions reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At 1080p Low, the 176 FPS result is high enough to suggest that the Ryzen 5 7500F is doing substantial work feeding the GPU, but the drop to 1440p Low (111 FPS) shows a 37% reduction in frame rate. Moving from 1440p Low to 4K Low (58 FPS) incurs a 48% reduction. These percentages are steep, indicating that the Intel Arc B570's fill rate and memory bandwidth are being saturated as pixel count rises. The 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus with 380.0 GB/s bandwidth is a finite resource, and the data suggests that at 4K, the GPU is struggling to maintain the same efficiency per pixel as it does at lower resolutions.

For the Medium preset, the same pattern holds. At 1080p, the average is 128 FPS with a minimum of 109 FPS and a maximum of 148 FPS. At 1440p, the average drops to 81 FPS with a range of 69 to 93 FPS. At 4K, the average falls to 42 FPS with a range of 36 to 49 FPS. The minimum-to-maximum spread at each resolution narrows as the average drops, which is typical behavior when the GPU is working closer to its limits. The High preset shows 96 FPS at 1080p, 61 FPS at 1440p, and 32 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, with 70 FPS at 1080p, 44 FPS at 1440p, and 23 FPS at 4K. These numbers collectively show that the gap between Low and Ultra widens at lower resolutions, where the CPU can still push high frame rates, but narrows at 4K, where the GPU becomes the dominant constraint.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570's specifications directly explain the observed frame rates. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2500 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz, meaning it runs at a fixed frequency without thermal or power headroom for dynamic boosting. This fixed clock, combined with 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units, yields a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s. In Outriders, the Ultra preset at 4K produces only 23 FPS, which aligns with the GPU's raw throughput limits when handling high-resolution textures and complex shading. The 10 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game's assets at 4K, as the data does not show a sudden collapse that would indicate memory swapping, but the bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s appears to be a limiting factor for sustained high frame rates at that resolution.

The GPU's FP32 performance of 11.52 TFLOPS is modest for modern standards, and the benchmark results confirm this. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the card scores 2649, while PassMark G3D gives 14195 and PassMark GPU Compute gives 7281. These synthetic scores correlate with the gaming results, where the card lands in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 20534 on average, a 0.1% difference from the Arc B570's 20556 average. The Intel Arc A750 is also close, with a 20582 average score and a -0.1% delta. This means the Arc B570 is statistically indistinguishable from those competitors in synthetic benchmarks, and the Outriders data reflects that mid-range positioning. The card draws 150 W TDP and requires a 450 W suggested PSU, which is reasonable for its performance class.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide clear guidance on which preset to use for different target frame rates. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 176 FPS, which is far beyond what most displays can show, so it is only useful for competitive play with very high refresh rate monitors. The Medium preset at 128 FPS still offers headroom above 60 FPS and is a balanced choice, but the High preset at 96 FPS is the sweet spot for most users, providing a smooth experience without the visual compromises of Low. The Ultra preset at 70 FPS is playable but not ideal for fast-paced action, as it sits close to the 60 FPS threshold and may dip below in heavy scenes.

At 1440p, the Low preset at 111 FPS is excellent, but the Medium preset at 81 FPS is the recommended starting point for quality, offering a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. The High preset at 61 FPS is borderline, and the Ultra preset at 44 FPS is not recommended for a consistent experience. At 4K, only the Low preset at 58 FPS approaches playability, while the Medium preset at 42 FPS and High at 32 FPS are below the standard 60 FPS target. The Ultra preset at 23 FPS is effectively unplayable for a looter shooter where reflexes matter. The data suggests that users should prioritize Medium at 1080p and 1440p, and accept Low at 4K if they must run that resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the full set of results is as follows: Low averages 176 FPS, Medium averages 128 FPS with a minimum of 109 and a maximum of 148, High averages 96 FPS, and Ultra averages 70 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 106 FPS, indicating that the CPU is capable of driving high frame rates when the GPU is not the bottleneck. The Medium preset's minimum of 109 FPS is above the 60 FPS threshold, so there is no risk of stutter in typical gameplay. The High preset's 96 FPS average is solid, but the lack of a reported minimum makes it harder to judge consistency, though the data pattern suggests it remains above 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low averages 111 FPS, Medium averages 81 FPS with a minimum of 69 and a maximum of 93, High averages 61 FPS, and Ultra averages 44 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is significant across all presets, averaging around 30-40% reduction. The Medium preset's minimum of 69 FPS is still above 60, but the High preset at 61 FPS average leaves little room for dips. The Ultra preset at 44 FPS is below the playable threshold for many users. At 3840x2160, the results are: Low averages 58 FPS, Medium averages 42 FPS with a minimum of 36 and a maximum of 49, High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 23 FPS. Only the Low preset comes close to 60 FPS, and the Medium preset's minimum of 36 FPS indicates significant frame time variance that could be noticeable.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. It has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In Outriders, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p, where the Low preset produces 176 FPS. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at lower resolutions. The synthetic benchmarks support this, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22799 and a single-core score of 3218. The PassMark multi-thread score is 26825, and the single-thread score is 3841.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i7-11850H, which has an average score of 24935, a 0.1% difference from the 7500F's 24964 average. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25005, a -0.2% delta, and the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, a 0.2% delta. These small deltas mean the 7500F performs essentially identically to these chips in overall CPU benchmarks. In Outriders specifically, the data shows that at 4K, the frame rates are consistently low across all presets, which is not a CPU limitation but rather the GPU's inability to render at that resolution quickly. The CPU's 12 threads are sufficient for the game's workload, as the 1080p results do not show any signs of a CPU bottleneck, such as frame rate plateaus or inconsistency.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2329 out of 2913 tested combos in Outriders. This places it in the lower half of all configurations, specifically around the 80th percentile from the top, meaning roughly 80% of tested combos outperform it. The rank reflects the GPU's mid-range performance, as the CPU is relatively strong. The combo's ranking is influenced by the fact that Outriders is a demanding title at higher resolutions, and the Arc B570's 4K performance is weak, as evidenced by the 23 FPS Ultra result. The 1080p performance is respectable, but the database includes many combos with more powerful GPUs that achieve higher frame rates at all resolutions.

The data shows that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can deliver playable frame rates on Medium or High settings. At 4K, it falls short of the 60 FPS target, which hurts its ranking relative to combos with higher-tier GPUs. The GPU's percentile of 65 versus the CPU's percentile of 77 indicates that the GPU is the weaker component in this pairing. For users with a 1080p or 1440p monitor, this combo offers a balanced experience, but for 4K enthusiasts, the data clearly shows that a more powerful GPU is necessary to achieve smooth gameplay. The combo's rank is a direct consequence of the Arc B570's throughput limits at high pixel counts, which the measured FPS breakdown confirms.
