A: No, the Intel Arc B370 uses System Shared memory for both its memory size and type. Its memory bandwidth is listed as System Dependent, and its clock base is 300 MHz with a boost of 2400 MHz.

# GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Its memory configuration is entirely System Shared, meaning there is no dedicated VRAM on the card; the memory size, type, and bus width are all listed as System Shared, with bandwidth noted as System Dependent. This architecture implies that the GPU relies on the host system's memory bandwidth, which can become a limiting factor in scenarios where texture streaming or large asset loading is frequent.

In terms of raw compute, the Arc B370 has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster operations units. It also includes 10 ray tracing cores. The pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 6.144 TFLOPS, with FP16 at 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1). The GPU's TDP is 25 W, and it is classified as an IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) with a bus interface of IGP, meaning it is not a discrete card but rather integrated into a processor package.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark yields a score of 1184 for this GPU, which places it at the 5th percentile of all GPUs. This is a low ranking, indicating that the Arc B370 is positioned at the entry-level segment of graphics performance. Its nearest rivals in terms of average score are older or lower-end parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, -0.2% delta), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, -0.5% delta), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, -0.7% delta), and the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, +1.4% delta). These deltas are extremely tight, with less than a 2% spread between the Arc B370 and its closest competitors, which suggests that the GPU is essentially performance-equivalent to those older parts in synthetic benchmarks.

In the context of Roblox, the measured FPS data shows that the GPU's capabilities are the dominant factor at higher resolutions. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 20 FPS (58 vs 38), which is a 34% drop. At 1080p, the same settings range yields a 53 FPS difference (154 vs 101), which is a 34% drop as well. This proportional scaling indicates that the GPU is consistently stressed across resolutions, but the absolute numbers remain relatively low for a modern game, suggesting that Roblox's rendering demands are modest and that the system shared memory architecture of the Arc B370 is sufficient for the game's needs.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer), built on a 7 nm process node from TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a total of 64 MB of L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus, offering a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The chip is unlocked for overclocking and has a TDP of 105 W.

The CPU's benchmark results show a strong multi-threaded capability. In Cinebench R23, it scores 26017 in multi-core and 1614 in single-core. In Geekbench, it achieves 15233 multi-core and 2083 single-core. The 3DMark tests show a progression from 944 (single thread) to 10810 (16 threads) and 11597 (max threads). The Passmark tests also reflect high multi-threaded performance: 45424 in multi-thread, 185520 in integer math, 100280 in floating point math, and 624347 in data compression.

The Ryzen 9 5950X ranks at the 91st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 51947. Its nearest rivals are all within 1% of its score: the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX (52073, -0.2% delta), the AMD EPYC 8124P (52121, -0.3% delta), the Intel Core i9-13900F (51730, +0.4% delta), and the Intel Core i7-14700 (52301, -0.7% delta). This tight clustering indicates that the 5950X is competitive with modern high-end desktop and mobile processors in synthetic workloads, even though it launched in November 2020.

In Roblox, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU, given the low resolution scaling behavior. The game is known to be more dependent on single-thread performance, and the 5950X's single-thread scores (944 in 3DMark single-thread, 1614 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 2083 in Geekbench single-core) are solid but not exceptional. The data suggests that the CPU is not the bottleneck, as the FPS differences between settings at the same resolution are consistent across resolutions, which points to GPU-bound scenarios. However, the CPU's high core count and thread count may help maintain frame pacing in complex sandbox scenarios with many objects and physics calculations, even if the benchmark data does not isolate that specific aspect.

# How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and the Intel Arc B370 ranks 2774 out of 3010 tested combos in Roblox. This places the combo in the bottom 8% of all tested configurations, which is a low standing that is primarily attributable to the GPU's weak performance. The CPU is a high-end part, ranking at the 91st percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU ranks at the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The mismatch is stark: a top-tier processor paired with an entry-level integrated graphics solution.

The measured FPS data confirms this imbalance. At 1080p, the combo achieves 154 FPS average on Low settings, which is a playable frame rate, but it drops to 101 FPS average on Ultra settings. At 1440p, the average FPS ranges from 103 (Low) to 67 (Ultra). At 4K, the average FPS ranges from 58 (Low) to 38 (Ultra). These numbers are not competitive with dedicated GPU configurations, and the combo rank reflects that.

The nearest rivals for the GPU are all older or lower-end parts, which suggests that the Arc B370 is not a suitable match for the Ryzen 9 5950X in a gaming scenario. The CPU has the horsepower to drive much more powerful GPUs, but the Arc B370 holds the system back. In the context of Roblox, where the game is not graphically demanding, the combo still manages to exceed 60 FPS at 1080p and 1440p on lower settings, but it falls below 60 FPS at 4K on all settings except Low. The rank of 2774 out of 3010 combos indicates that there are only 236 tested combos that perform worse in this game, which is a small fraction of the total.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the best experience for this combo depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset offers 140 FPS average with a minimum of 119 FPS and a maximum of 161 FPS. This is a smooth experience for most displays, and it is only 14 FPS lower than the Low preset (154 FPS) but provides better visual quality. The High preset at 1080p yields 124 FPS average, which is still playable, but the Ultra preset drops to 101 FPS, which may be noticeable on high refresh rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset provides 94 FPS average with a minimum of 80 FPS and a maximum of 108 FPS. This is the most balanced option, as the Low preset (103 FPS average) offers only 9 FPS more, while the High preset (83 FPS) and Ultra preset (67 FPS) drop below the 90 FPS threshold. The Medium settings appear to be the sweet spot for 1440p, providing a good balance between visual fidelity and performance.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only setting that achieves an average above 50 FPS (58 FPS). The Medium preset yields 53 FPS average with a minimum of 45 FPS and a maximum of 61 FPS, which may be acceptable for console-like frame pacing but is not ideal for competitive play. The High preset (47 FPS) and Ultra preset (38 FPS) are below the 60 FPS target and may feel less responsive.

In summary, the Medium preset is recommended for 1080p and 1440p, as it provides the best balance of frame rate and visual quality. For 4K, the Low preset is the only setting that maintains an average above 55 FPS, so it is the recommended option for that resolution.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a comprehensive view of the combo's performance.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 154 FPS average
• Medium: 140 FPS average (min 119, max 161)
• High: 124 FPS average
• Ultra: 101 FPS average

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 103 FPS average
• Medium: 94 FPS average (min 80, max 108)
• High: 83 FPS average
• Ultra: 67 FPS average

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 58 FPS average
• Medium: 53 FPS average (min 45, max 61)
• High: 47 FPS average
• Ultra: 38 FPS average

The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, FPS decreases proportionally. At each resolution, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is consistent. At 1080p, the gap is 53 FPS (154 to 101). At 1440p, the gap is 36 FPS (103 to 67). At 4K, the gap is 20 FPS (58 to 38). This scaling suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor, as the workload scales with resolution and settings complexity.

The minimum and maximum FPS values are only provided for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 1080p, the minimum is 119 and the maximum is 161, which indicates a frame time variance of about 26% from the average. At 1440p, the minimum is 80 and the maximum is 108, a variance of about 30% from the average. At 4K, the minimum is 45 and the maximum is 61, a variance of about 30% from the average. This consistency in variance suggests stable performance without major frame spikes or stutters.

# Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and reveals the limiting component. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 154 (1080p) to 103 (1440p) to 58 (4K). This represents a 33% drop from 1080p to 1440p, a 62% drop from 1080p to 4K, and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 140 (1080p) to 94 (1440p) to 53 (4K). This is a 33% drop from 1080p to 1440p, a 62% drop from 1080p to 4K, and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 124 (1080p) to 83 (1440p) to 47 (4K). This is a 33% drop from 1080p to 1440p, a 62% drop from 1080p to 4K, and a 43% drop from 1440p to 4K. At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 101 (1080p) to 67 (1440p) to 38 (4K). This is a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p, a 62% drop from 1080p to 4K, and a 43% drop from 1440p to 4K.

The percentage drops are remarkably consistent across settings, with the 1080p-to-1440p drop ranging from 33% to 34%, and the 1080p-to-4K drop ranging from 62% to 63%. This consistency indicates that the scaling is resolution-driven rather than settings-driven, which points to the GPU as the limiting component. The CPU's performance is not the bottleneck, as the same proportional drops occur regardless of the graphical load.

The 4K resolution requires four times the pixel count of 1080p, and the FPS drop at 4K is approximately 62%, which is less than the 75% that would be expected if the GPU were purely pixel-bound. This suggests that the GPU is not fully saturated at 4K, and other factors, such as memory bandwidth or driver overhead, are also contributing to the performance limits. The System Shared memory architecture of the Arc B370 likely exacerbates this, as the GPU must compete with the CPU for memory bandwidth, which is especially critical at higher resolutions where more data needs to be transferred.

Ultimately, the resolution scaling data shows that the Intel Arc B370 is the primary limiting factor in this combo. The CPU has ample headroom, as evidenced by its high percentile ranking, but the GPU's modest performance and shared memory architecture prevent the system from achieving higher frame rates at 4K. Users targeting 4K should consider reducing settings to Low to maintain playable frame rates, while 1080p and 1440p users can enjoy higher settings with acceptable performance.
