Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the Intel Arc B370 delivers a strictly entry-level experience in Overpower, with the measured frame rates indicating that the integrated graphics solution is the primary determinant of performance across all tested configurations. The data shows a combination that ranks near the bottom of the database, and the scaling patterns across resolutions and presets confirm that users will need to make significant compromises to achieve playable frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, though the magnitude of the drop is surprisingly modest, which points to a system that is heavily limited by the GPU at all resolutions. At the Low preset, the average frame rate falls from 65 FPS at 1080p to 58 FPS at 1440p, representing a drop of approximately 11%, and then further declines to 49 FPS at 4K, which is a 25% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This scaling pattern suggests that while resolution does matter, the frame rates are low enough at every step that the GPU is already saturated even at the lowest tested resolution.

Moving to the Medium preset, the trend continues with average FPS of 41 at 1080p, 36 at 1440p, and 31 at 4K. The percentage drops are slightly larger here, with the 4K figure representing a 24% decrease from 1080p, indicating that the additional pixel workload at higher resolutions is beginning to tax the GPU more heavily as settings increase. The High preset shows a similar trajectory: 38 FPS at 1080p, 34 FPS at 1440p, and 28 FPS at 4K, with the 4K result being 26% lower than the 1080p result. Finally, the Ultra preset delivers 31 FPS at 1080p, 28 FPS at 1440p, and 24 FPS at 4K, showing the smallest absolute spread but still a meaningful 23% reduction from the lowest to highest resolution.

What is most telling about these numbers is that even at 1080p with the Low preset, the system only manages 65 FPS, which is far from a high-refresh-rate experience. The fact that 4K Ultra produces 24 FPS—barely above a slideshow—while 4K Low produces 49 FPS indicates that the GPU is the overwhelming bottleneck. If the CPU were the limiting factor, we would expect to see much larger FPS gaps between resolutions, as the GPU would be able to render more frames at lower resolutions. Instead, the relatively flat scaling across all three resolutions suggests that the Intel Arc B370, with its modest specifications, is running at maximum capacity even at 1080p, and the resolution changes only moderately affect the final output because the GPU is already the constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

The data places this combination at rank 2742 out of 2980 tested combos in Overpower, which puts it in the bottom 8% of all configurations in the database. This is a remarkably low standing, and it means that the vast majority of CPU-GPU pairings tested for this game deliver higher average frame rates than what this system achieves. The rank of 2742 out of 2980 is not just a minor underperformance; it signals that this combo is fundamentally mismatched for the demands of Overpower, with the GPU dragging the entire system down to near the bottom of the leaderboard.

Looking at the individual components, the CPU's percentile ranking versus all CPUs is 79, which indicates that the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is actually a reasonably capable processor when compared to the broader CPU landscape. Its average benchmark score of 27051 places it in the upper quintile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K with an average score of 27097 and a delta of -0.2%, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 with 26936 and a delta of 0.4%, the Intel Core i5-14400T with 27166 and a delta of -0.4%, and the Intel Core i7-1370P with 26900 and a delta of 0.6%. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning the 5700G is essentially tied with these other processors in synthetic benchmarks, and its 79th percentile ranking confirms it is a solid mid-to-upper tier CPU.

In stark contrast, the GPU's percentile ranking versus all GPUs is a dismal 5, and its average benchmark score of 1184 places it in the bottom 5% of all graphics cards. The nearest rivals for the Arc B370 are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with a score of 1186 and a delta of -0.2%, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1190 and a delta of -0.5%, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M with 1192 and a delta of -0.7%, and the AMD FirePro M2000 with 1168 and a delta of 1.4%. These are all legacy or low-end parts from a decade ago, and the fact that the Arc B370 is trading blows with them in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test underscores just how weak this integrated GPU is for gaming workloads.

The combination of a 79th percentile CPU with a 5th percentile GPU creates a massively unbalanced system for Overpower, and the combo rank of 2742 out of 2980 reflects that imbalance. The CPU has plenty of headroom to feed a more powerful GPU, but the Arc B370 simply cannot translate that CPU capability into frame rates.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor based on the Xe3-LPG architecture and built on Intel's 3 nm process node. It operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, and it draws just 25 W of power, which is typical for an IGP solution. The GPU has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster operation pipelines, along with 10 ray tracing cores. Its peak pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 6.144 TFLOPS.

In Overpower, the GPU's performance is the single most important factor in determining the measured frame rates. At 1080p with the Low preset, the system achieves 65 FPS, but this drops to 38 FPS at High and 31 FPS at Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is a 52% reduction in average frame rate, which shows that the GPU is extremely sensitive to settings changes. At 1440p, the Low preset delivers 58 FPS, while Ultra manages just 28 FPS, and at 4K, the numbers fall to 49 FPS at Low and 24 FPS at Ultra.

The memory configuration of the Arc B370 is "System Shared," meaning it uses the system's DDR4 memory rather than dedicated VRAM. This is a critical limitation for gaming, as the shared memory bandwidth is "System Dependent" and cannot match the dedicated high-speed memory found on discrete graphics cards. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 is its only synthetic benchmark result, and it places the card at the 5th percentile, with nearest rivals being ancient ATI and AMD parts from the HD 5000 and 7000 series. This benchmark result aligns with the in-game FPS data, which consistently shows sub-60 FPS performance at every resolution and settings combination tested.

The boost clock of 2400 MHz is relatively high for an integrated GPU, but the low base clock of 300 MHz and the shared memory architecture severely limit real-world gaming performance. The measured FPS data confirms that the Arc B370 is not capable of delivering smooth gameplay in Overpower at any of the tested settings, with the best case scenario being 65 FPS at 1080p Low, which is still below the 72 FPS threshold typically considered ideal for smooth motion.

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 27051, which is 0.2% lower than the Intel Core i9-9900K's 27097, 0.4% higher than the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445's 26936, 0.4% lower than the Intel Core i5-14400T's 27166, and 0.6% higher than the Intel Core i7-1370P's 26900.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, built on TSMC's 7 nm process node. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. It supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and connects via PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 5700G demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 12830.5, while the single-core score is 1494. Geekbench results show a multicore score of 9950 and a single-core score of 1894. The PassMark multithread score is 24419, and the single-thread score is 3283. The 3DMark results show a 16-thread score of 6629, an 8-thread score of 5648, a 4-thread score of 3389, a 2-thread score of 1758, and a single-thread score of 899. The CPU's percentile ranking of 79 versus all CPUs confirms it is a competent processor for general workloads.

However, in Overpower, the CPU's role is largely secondary to the GPU. The measured FPS data shows that the system never exceeds 65 FPS at any settings combination, and the CPU's substantial multi-threading capabilities are not being utilized to their full potential because the GPU cannot keep up. The 3DMark max-threads score of 6627, which is nearly identical to the 16-thread score of 6629, indicates that the CPU scales well with additional threads, but this scaling is irrelevant when the frame rate is capped by the integrated GPU's rendering capabilities.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are all within a narrow performance band. The Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27097, just 0.2% higher than the 5700G's 27051, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, which is 0.4% lower. The Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, 0.4% higher, and the Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900, 0.6% lower. These tiny deltas mean that swapping the 5700G for any of these CPUs would have virtually no impact on Overpower frame rates, since the GPU is the bottleneck. The data suggests that the CPU has ample headroom to support a much more powerful discrete GPU, but with the Arc B370, that headroom is wasted.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo in Overpower depend heavily on the user's target resolution and tolerance for frame rate fluctuations. At 1920x1080, the Low preset is the only configuration that achieves a playable average of 65 FPS, and it is the recommended choice for anyone seeking smooth gameplay at this resolution. The Medium preset drops to 41 FPS, which is borderline playable for a slower-paced action game, but the minimum FPS of 34 suggests there could be noticeable stutters in demanding scenes. High and Ultra at 1080p deliver 38 and 31 FPS respectively, which are below the threshold for comfortable gameplay.

For 2560x1440, the Low preset is again the best option, delivering 58 FPS, which is acceptable for most players. The Medium preset at 1440p produces 36 FPS with a minimum of 31 and a maximum of 42, which is marginal, while High and Ultra fall to 34 and 28 FPS, respectively. At 3840x2160, none of the presets achieve playable frame rates, with Low delivering 49 FPS, Medium 31 FPS, High 28 FPS, and Ultra 24 FPS. The 4K Medium preset has the only complete min/max data recorded, showing a range of 26 to 35 FPS, which indicates significant variance even within a single preset.

The data suggests that the Low preset is the only viable option for this combo, regardless of resolution. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 65 FPS, which is the best measured result in the entire dataset. At 1440p Low, the 58 FPS average is still playable, but at 4K Low, the 49 FPS average is starting to feel less smooth. The scaling from Low to Medium at each resolution is substantial—a 37% drop at 1080p, a 38% drop at 1440p, and a 37% drop at 4K—which indicates that the GPU cannot handle the increased visual complexity of the Medium preset. Therefore, the recommendation is to stick with Low settings at 1080p or 1440p, and to avoid 4K entirely if smooth frame rates are a priority. The Ultra preset should be avoided at all resolutions, as it never exceeds 31 FPS and drops to 24 FPS at 4K.
