GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture with a 5 nm process. It packs 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. The base and boost clocks are both 2670 MHz, while the memory runs at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective) across a 192-bit bus, yielding 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's FP32 throughput is 13.67 TFLOPS, and it has a TDP of 190 W.

In Outriders, the GPU's role is decisive at higher resolutions. At 3840x2160, the average FPS drops from 66.1 on Low to 34.1 on High and 26.6 on Ultra. That 39.5 FPS gap between Low and Ultra shows how heavily the game scales with GPU load. The 12 GB VRAM is ample for this title, and the 456 GB/s bandwidth supports the high-resolution textures without obvious stutter. The GPU's average benchmark score of 23021 places it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, and it sits within 1% of the RTX 4060 (0.7% slower) and slightly ahead of the AMD Radeon 760M (0.1% faster). At 1920x1080, the GPU is less stressed: even Ultra settings produce 77.9 FPS, indicating that the B580 can handle the game's demands at mainstream resolutions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a 10-core, 16-thread Alder Lake-S processor with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. It has 20 MB of shared L3 cache and a TDP of 125 W. The CPU's average benchmark score is 27827, which places it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-10900K (score 27829, delta 0%), the Intel Core i5-12600K (score 27851, delta -0.1%), and the Intel Core i7-13700H (score 27716, delta 0.4%). These deltas show the i5-12600KF is essentially tied with the i9-10900K and i5-12600K, and slightly ahead of the i7-13700H.

In Outriders, the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at most settings. At 1920x1080 Low, the system reaches 199.2 FPS, which is high enough to suggest the CPU can feed the GPU well. The single-thread performance is strong, as shown by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3309 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2529. The 10-core/16-thread configuration provides enough parallelism for the game's physics and AI, but the measured FPS scaling across resolutions points to the GPU as the limiting factor when settings are raised. At 4K Ultra, the CPU is likely idle while the GPU struggles to maintain 26.6 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset includes 12 measured average FPS values across three resolutions and four quality presets. The results are as follows:

• 3840x2160: Low 66.1, Medium 49.1, High 34.1, Ultra 26.6
• 2560x1440: Low 126, Medium 93.3, High 68.3, Ultra 49.7
• 1920x1080: Low 199.2, Medium 143.7, High 106.3, Ultra 77.9

At 1080p, every preset exceeds 60 FPS, with Ultra still delivering 77.9 FPS. At 1440p, High is the only preset above 60 FPS (68.3), while Ultra falls to 49.7. At 4K, only Low reaches 60+ FPS (66.1); Medium drops to 49.1, High to 34.1, and Ultra to 26.6. The scaling is consistent: each step from Low to Ultra reduces FPS by roughly 20-30% at a given resolution. The largest absolute drop occurs at 4K, where moving from Low to Medium costs 17 FPS, and from Medium to High another 15 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1286th out of 1693 tested combinations in Outriders, meaning it outperforms 407 other combos. This places it in the 24th percentile of all tested systems. The CPU's individual percentile (84th) is much higher than the GPU's (66th), and the combo rank is lower than both. This suggests that the game is more sensitive to GPU performance than CPU performance, and that the B580's mid-range standing drags the overall result down. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (26.6) and 1440p Ultra (49.7) confirm that the GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU's strong benchmark scores do not translate into high frame rates at demanding settings because the GPU cannot keep up.

Settings Recommendations

For a 60 FPS target, the data points to specific presets per resolution. At 1920x1080, Ultra is the best choice because it delivers 77.9 FPS, which is above 60 and provides the highest visual quality. At 2560x1440, High is the optimal preset: it averages 68.3 FPS, while Ultra drops to 49.7. At 3840x2160, only Low achieves 60+ FPS (66.1); Medium is 49.1, so Low is the only playable option if 60 FPS is required. If a 30 FPS floor is acceptable, then 4K Medium (49.1) and 1440p Ultra (49.7) become viable, but for smooth gameplay the recommendations above align with the measured data. The B580's 12 GB VRAM and 456 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game's textures, but the GPU's raw compute limits high-resolution, high-preset performance.
