Outriders

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a playable but resolution-sensitive experience in Outriders. At 1080p, the combo is capable of high refresh rates, but the GPU becomes the definitive bottleneck as resolution increases, with 4K Ultra proving too demanding for this pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings presets, clearly identifying the Intel Arc B570 as the limiting component in this configuration. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 96 FPS at 1920x1080 to 61 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 36%. Moving to 3840x2160, the average drops further to 32 FPS, which is exactly one-third of the 1080p result. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU’s rendering throughput, rather than the CPU’s processing power, dictates the experience at higher resolutions.

The Low preset shows the most dramatic scaling curve. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 176 FPS average, which is an excellent result for fast-paced gameplay. At 1440p, this falls to 111 FPS, and at 4K it reaches 58 FPS. The 4K Low result is actually higher than the 4K High result by 81%, demonstrating that the GPU has significant headroom when texture and shading workloads are reduced. This suggests that players targeting 4K on this hardware should prioritize lower settings to maintain fluidity.

Medium settings provide a middle ground with 128 FPS at 1080p, 81 FPS at 1440p, and 42 FPS at 4K. The minimum frame rates recorded at Medium settings — 109 FPS at 1080p, 69 FPS at 1440p, and 36 FPS at 4K — show that frame pacing remains relatively stable even when the average dips below 60 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most punishing, with averages of 70 FPS at 1080p, 44 FPS at 1440p, and just 23 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is below the 30 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for playable action games, making this preset impractical at that resolution.

The data reveals a clear pattern: the Arc B570’s 10 GB memory buffer and 160-bit bus are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K workload exceeds what this GPU can handle at higher quality settings. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly harsh — a 48% drop at High settings and a 48% drop at Ultra — indicating that the GPU’s pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth are overwhelmed by the 3840x2160 resolution.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 operates with a fixed 2500 MHz base and boost clock, providing consistent performance across all scenarios. Its 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus delivers 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is adequate for 1080p and 1440p but proves insufficient for 4K Ultra textures in Outriders. The GPU’s 2304 shading units and 144 texture mapping units generate 360.0 GTexel/s of texture rate, yet the 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate becomes the constraining factor at higher resolutions.

Benchmark results place the Arc B570 in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, scores nearly identically at 20534, a delta of just 0.1%. The Intel Arc A750 is equally close at 20582, showing that this GPU sits in a competitive performance tier slightly below the top mainstream options.

The 12 GB memory size difference between the B570 and some rivals is not directly comparable in this data, but the measured FPS results show that the B570’s 10 GB buffer handles Outriders adequately at 1080p and 1440p. The 4K results, however, suggest that memory capacity or bandwidth becomes a limiting factor. At 4K High, the average of 32 FPS is barely playable, and at 4K Ultra, the 23 FPS average is not acceptable for a looter shooter where quick reactions matter.

The GPU’s 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is sufficient for the game’s DirectX 12 workload, as evidenced by the strong 1080p scores. However, the 150 W TDP and dual-slot cooling solution suggest this is a mid-range card that should not be expected to drive 4K gaming at maximum settings. The data supports this: the Ultra preset at 4K produces results that are 64% lower than the Low preset at the same resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

In the overall database of tested combinations for Outriders, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2329 out of 2913 combos. This places it in the bottom 20% of all tested configurations, which is a surprisingly low position given the decent 1080p performance. The rank reflects that most other combos tested in this game achieve higher average frame rates across the full range of resolutions and settings.

The CPU itself performs at the 79th percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 27051. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K (27097, delta -0.2%) and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 (26936, delta 0.4%). This places the 5700G in strong company for CPU-bound tasks, but the combo rank shows that the GPU is dragging down the overall result.

The GPU’s 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average score of 20556, is respectable for a mid-range card. However, when combined with the CPU in Outriders, the pair lands at the 2329th position out of 2913, indicating that many other GPU+CPU combinations deliver superior frame rates in this specific title. The delta between the GPU’s percentile rank and the combo’s rank suggests that Outriders is particularly demanding on the GPU, or that the 5700G’s integrated graphics heritage (Radeon Vega 8) does not help in this discrete GPU configuration.

The combo’s low rank is primarily attributable to the 4K results. At 1080p, the scores are competitive, but the 4K Ultra average of 23 FPS is among the lowest recorded for any GPU in this database. This single data point significantly impacts the overall ranking, as the combo’s performance at lower resolutions cannot compensate for the 4K deficiency.

Settings Recommendations

The optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 70 FPS average, which is smooth enough for most players, but the Medium preset at 128 FPS provides a much better experience for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Low preset at 176 FPS is the best choice for competitive play where maximum frame rates are prioritized over visual fidelity.

For 2560x1440, the Medium preset is the clear winner. With an average of 81 FPS and a minimum of 69 FPS, it maintains a consistent 60+ FPS experience while still providing improved visual quality over Low. The High preset at 61 FPS is also viable, but the minimum frame rate data is not provided, making Medium the safer recommendation. The Ultra preset at 44 FPS should be avoided at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only sensible choice, producing 58 FPS average. The Medium preset at 42 FPS may be acceptable for slower-paced exploration, but the minimum of 36 FPS could cause noticeable stuttering in combat. The High preset at 32 FPS and Ultra at 23 FPS are not recommended for a looter shooter that requires responsive aiming.

For players who want a balanced experience, the Medium preset at 1440p offers the best compromise between visual quality and performance. This configuration provides 81 FPS average, which is above the 60 FPS threshold, and the minimum of 69 FPS ensures that frame drops are unlikely to impact gameplay. The data from the measured rows shows that this is the highest quality setting that reliably maintains 60+ FPS at a resolution above 1080p.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G contributes 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This 7 nm processor from TSMC features 16 MB of L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 12830.5 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1494 in single-core, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 9950.

The CPU’s performance in this combo is more than adequate for Outriders, as evidenced by the high frame rates at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 176 FPS average indicates that the CPU can process game logic and draw calls faster than the GPU can render frames. Even at 1080p Ultra, the 70 FPS result shows that CPU-bound scenarios are not a limiting factor at this resolution.

The 5700G’s 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average score of 27051, places it in the upper tier of processors. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, scores 27097, a delta of just -0.2%, showing that these two CPUs are virtually identical in overall performance. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is 0.4% slower, and the Intel Core i7-1370P is 0.6% faster.

The CPU’s 65 W TDP and AM4 socket compatibility make it an efficient choice, but the combo’s overall rank of 2329 out of 2913 in Outriders shows that the GPU is the primary determinant of performance in this title. The CPU’s strong single-thread score of 1494 in Cinebench R23 ensures that the game’s main thread is well-served, but the GPU’s 4K limitations cannot be overcome by additional CPU performance. Players considering this combo for Outriders should focus their expectations on 1080p or 1440p gaming, where the CPU and GPU work together effectively to deliver smooth frame rates.
