GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580, built on the Xe2-HPG architecture (Battlemage generation), is the primary driver of frame rates in Revolution Idle. The data shows a clear scaling pattern from the GPU's 12 GB GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. At 3840x2160, the GPU's capabilities are pushed hard: High settings yield 23.9 FPS, Medium 29.2 FPS, and Low 33.4 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 16.7 FPS. This indicates that at 4K, the B580 is the limiting factor, unable to maintain playable frame rates even at lower quality presets.

The GPU's clock behavior is notable: base and boost clocks are both 2670 MHz. The B580's 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, combined with a pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 427.2 GTexel/s, contribute to its compute throughput of 13.67 TFLOPS FP32. In this idle game, which is not graphically intense, the GPU's raw specifications still dictate the performance ceiling. The gap between Low (33.4 FPS) and Ultra (16.7 FPS) at 4K is a 50% reduction, showing how severely Ultra settings tax the GPU.

The B580's DirectX 12 Ultimate support (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility are relevant for API efficiency. PassMark scores show DirectX 11 at 128, while DirectX 10 and 12 both score 76. The g3d score of 15748 and g2d score of 709 provide synthetic context. In this game, the GPU's compute capabilities (PassMark GPU compute score of 7729) appear secondary to raw rasterization. The data indicates that at 2560x1440, the GPU delivers 31.2 FPS on Ultra, 51.3 FPS on High, and 51.9 FPS on Medium. These results suggest the B580 handles 1440p reasonably at mid-to-high settings but struggles with Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1369 out of 1774 places this pairing in the bottom quarter of all tested configurations for Revolution Idle. This ranking is surprising given the individual component percentiles: the CPU sits at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU at the 66th percentile among all GPUs. The discrepancy between component-level strength and game-specific ranking suggests that Revolution Idle's performance profile does not heavily favor this particular hardware combination, or that many competing combos in the database pair higher-end GPUs with similar CPUs.

Benchmark results indicate that the CPU's average score of 25064 is competitive with its nearest rivals, all within 0.3% of each other. The GPU's average score of 23021 is 0.7% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (23181) but 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon 760M (22999) and 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA P106-100 (22950). This mid-range GPU performance, when combined with a strong but not top-tier CPU, results in the 1369th position. The rank implies that while each component is individually capable, the pairing does not produce exceptional results in this specific title compared to other tested combos.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data spans three resolutions (3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080) and four settings levels (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). At 1920x1080, the combination performs best: Low settings achieve 110.1 FPS, Medium 82.6 FPS, High 77.7 FPS, and Ultra 49.2 FPS. This shows a smooth degradation from Low to Ultra, with the Ultra preset costing approximately 55% of the Low setting's frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably. Low settings produce 65.5 FPS, High 51.3 FPS, and Medium 51.9 FPS — interestingly, High and Medium are nearly identical. Ultra at 1440p yields 31.2 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay. The data indicates that 1440p Ultra is the first setting where the combo becomes marginal for playability.

At 3840x2160, the results are consistently low. Low settings achieve 33.4 FPS, Medium 29.2 FPS, High 23.9 FPS, and Ultra 16.7 FPS. Even at the lowest settings, 4K resolution exceeds what this combo can deliver comfortably. The delta between 1080p Low (110.1 FPS) and 4K Low (33.4 FPS) is a 70% reduction. Comparing settings within each resolution: at 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 60.9 FPS; at 1440p, it is 34.3 FPS; at 4K, it is 16.7 FPS. This narrowing gap at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the bottleneck, with settings having less relative impact as resolution increases.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, based on Zen 4 architecture (Phoenix codename) on a 4 nm TSMC process, provides 6 cores and 12 threads. Its base clock of 4.20 GHz boosts to 4.70 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. Benchmark scores show strong single-thread performance: 3dmark single-thread scores 951, and Cinebench R23 single-core scores 2943. Multi-threaded results are also solid: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 20851, and 3dmark max threads scores 6165.

In Revolution Idle, an idle game genre, the CPU load is typically lightweight. The data shows that the CPU's 12 threads are more than sufficient for this title, as the primary bottleneck shifts to the GPU at higher resolutions. PassMark results provide context: multi-thread score of 24530, single-thread of 3684, and physics score of 1391. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms its capability, but the game's low CPU demand means this strength is underutilized.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s with dual-channel DDR5 support, paired with the GPU's 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, creates a balanced platform. The PCIe Gen 4 interface with 20 lanes (CPU only) provides sufficient bandwidth for the B580's PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface. The CPU's performance relative to rivals is essentially identical — within 0.3% of the top four nearest competitors — indicating that CPU choice among these options would not materially affect Revolution Idle's frame rates. The bottleneck is clearly the GPU, especially at 4K where even Low settings cannot reach 60 FPS.
