How This Combo Ranks

This combination of an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and an Intel Arc B370 places at rank 2761 out of 3002 tested combos in Pc Building Simulator. That places it in the bottom 8% of all tested pairings, a position driven almost entirely by the graphics component. The CPU is a mid-pack performer, sitting at the 79th percentile against all CPUs, but the GPU is the anchor here, sitting at just the 5th percentile against all GPUs. The measured frame rates reflect this: the system is only capable of playable performance at 1080p with lower settings, and it falls below 30 FPS at 4K on any setting.

The data indicates that the Arc B370 is the primary bottleneck in this pairing. While the Ryzen 7 5700G provides a solid foundation with its 8 cores and 16 threads, the integrated graphics-class GPU simply does not have the throughput to drive high resolutions or high detail levels in this simulation. The average FPS figures across the board are low, and the system never achieves a 60 FPS average at 1440p or 4K, even at Low settings. At 1080p, it can hit a 113 FPS average at Low, but that number quickly drops as settings are increased. This is a combination that is best suited for basic playability at 1080p, not for high-refresh or high-fidelity experiences.

The gap between the CPU's potential and the GPU's delivery is stark. The Ryzen 7 5700G's benchmark scores are respectable, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12830.5 and a Geekbench multicore score of 9950. In contrast, the Arc B370's only listed 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1184. This massive discrepancy in raw compute capability between the two components explains why the combo rank is so low; the CPU is waiting on the GPU to finish rendering each frame. The result is a system that is CPU-capable for this simulation but is held back from achieving higher frame rates by its graphics solution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. It operates at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, which are healthy frequencies for a desktop part. Its cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a shared 16 MB of L3 cache. This is a substantial amount of processing power for a simulation game, which typically relies on CPU logic for managing complex systems and AI.

In Pc Building Simulator, the CPU's role is to handle the game's simulation logic, which includes the state of all components, the physics of the building process, and the overall system management. The benchmark results for the 5700G show it is more than capable of handling these tasks. Its 3DMark 16-thread score is 6629, and its 8-thread score is 5648. Even its single-thread performance is robust, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3283. These scores suggest that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this particular system.

The data supports this conclusion. The CPU's average benchmark score of 27051 places it at the 79th percentile of all CPUs, and it performs almost identically to the Intel Core i9-9900K, a former flagship. This level of CPU performance is far beyond what the measured FPS in the game would suggest. The low frame rates are not a result of the CPU being overwhelmed, but rather of the GPU being unable to render frames fast enough to keep up with the CPU's calculations. The CPU is effectively waiting on the GPU for the majority of each frame's render time, especially at higher resolutions and settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured performance of this combo reveals a system that struggles to maintain high frame rates at anything above 1080p. At 1920x1080, the system is most capable. With Low settings, it achieves an average of 113 FPS. This is the only setting where it comes close to high-refresh-rate territory. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 80 FPS, with a minimum of 68 and a maximum of 92 FPS. At High settings, the average falls to 56 FPS, and at Ultra, it bottoms out at 54 FPS. This shows a clear scaling pattern at 1080p, where each step up in quality costs a significant number of frames.

At 2560x1440, the performance takes a notable hit. The average FPS at Low settings is 71, which is still playable but a far cry from the 113 FPS seen at 1080p. Medium settings yield an average of 50 FPS, with a minimum of 43 and a maximum of 58 FPS. High settings drop the average to 36 FPS, and Ultra is only slightly below that at 34 FPS. The system is barely playable at 1440p Low, and not recommended at higher settings.

The 3840x2160 resolution is where the combo fails to deliver a playable experience. The average FPS at Low settings is 37. This drops to 26 FPS at Medium, with a minimum of 22 and a maximum of 30 FPS. High settings see an average of 19 FPS, and Ultra is the worst at 18 FPS. None of these 4K results are suitable for smooth gameplay. The data shows a consistent pattern: the Intel Arc B370 is simply out of its depth at this resolution, and the CPU's power cannot compensate for the GPU's lack of rendering capability.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K demonstrates where the bottleneck lies in this system. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 113 at 1080p to 71 at 1440p, and then to 37 at 4K. This represents a 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 67% drop from 1080p to 4K. The scaling is severe, indicating that the GPU is being overwhelmed by the increasing pixel count.

This pattern is consistent across all settings. At Medium settings, the average FPS is 80 at 1080p, 50 at 1440p, and 26 at 4K. At High settings, it's 56 at 1080p, 36 at 1440p, and 19 at 4K. The relative performance drops are similar, which points to a purely resolution-bound scenario. The GPU's fill rate and pixel throughput are the limiting factors, not the CPU's processing power.

The data suggests that the limiting component is definitively the Intel Arc B370. A CPU-bound scenario would show less of a performance drop when moving to higher resolutions, as the CPU's workload would remain relatively constant. Here, the frame rate plummets as resolution increases, which is a classic sign of GPU limitation. The Ryzen 7 5700G's strong benchmark scores, such as its 3DMark 8-thread score of 5648, suggest it could handle the game's logic at any resolution. The GPU, with its 20 ROPs and 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, is responsible for the pixel-pushing, and it is not up to the task at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured data, the optimal settings for this combo are at 1920x1080 with Low or Medium quality presets. The Low preset delivers an average of 113 FPS, which is the only configuration that approaches high-refresh-rate smoothness. For a better visual experience while maintaining playability, the Medium preset at 1080p provides a solid 80 FPS average, with minimums of 68 FPS, ensuring that the frame rate stays above the 60 FPS threshold for most of the time. This is the recommended balance for this system.

For users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate, the High preset at 1080p is an option, yielding an average of 56 FPS. This is playable, but not as fluid as the Medium preset. The Ultra preset at 1080p offers little benefit over High, with an average of 54 FPS, and is not recommended as the performance cost does not justify the marginal visual gain.

At 1440p, the only viable option is the Low preset, which delivers an average of 71 FPS. This is a playable experience, though not as smooth as 1080p. The Medium preset at 1440p, with an average of 50 FPS, may be acceptable for some, but the minimum of 43 FPS suggests occasional stutter. All other settings at 1440p and all settings at 4K should be avoided, as the frame rates drop below the threshold for comfortable play. The data clearly shows that this system is best utilized at 1080p, where the CPU's power can be leveraged to achieve the highest possible frame rates, despite the GPU's limitations.
