Greedfall

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Greedfall on the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with the Intel Arc B570 shows a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the combination delivers robust frame rates across the board. Low settings average 130 FPS, Medium averages 102 FPS with a minimum of 87 and maximum of 117, High averages 92 FPS, and even Ultra remains close to the playable threshold at 59 FPS average. This resolution is clearly where the combo is most comfortable, with every preset either clearing or nearly clearing the 60 FPS mark.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain playable but with more variation. Low settings average 90 FPS, Medium averages 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 and maximum of 81, and High averages 64 FPS. Ultra drops significantly to an average of 41 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold. The data indicates that the 1440p resolution is still viable for this pairing, but only up to the High preset.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. Low settings average 54 FPS, which is close to but still below 60 FPS. Medium averages 42 FPS with a minimum of 36 and maximum of 48, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. None of the 4K presets achieve the 60 FPS playable threshold, making this resolution unsuitable for smooth gameplay with this hardware combination. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a steep drop of 30 FPS, highlighting the GPU load at this resolution.

The benchmark results also indicate a consistent pattern in the frame pacing. At 1920x1080 Medium, the spread between minimum and maximum is 30 FPS, while at 2560x1440 Medium the spread is 21 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Medium the spread is 12 FPS. This suggests that as resolution increases, the frame rate becomes more constrained and less variable, likely due to the GPU becoming the dominant bottleneck.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which averages 92 FPS. This leaves substantial headroom above the playable threshold, so users could potentially explore Ultra, but the data shows Ultra averages 59 FPS, just one frame short of the 60 FPS mark. The High preset at 1080p is the recommended choice for maximum visual fidelity while maintaining smooth performance.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also High, averaging 64 FPS. This is a tighter margin above the 60 FPS threshold compared to 1080p, but it remains comfortably playable. Medium averages 71 FPS and Low averages 90 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality among the playable options. Ultra at 1440p averages 41 FPS, which is well below the playable threshold and not recommended.

For 3840x2160, the verdict is clear: there are no playable settings. The highest average FPS across all presets is 54 FPS at Low, which still falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra all average below 45 FPS. The data shows that 4K resolution is not viable for this combination in Greedfall, regardless of the quality preset selected.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU in this combination provides context for what other hardware would behave similarly in Greedfall.

On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 has an average benchmark score of 21484. Its closest competitors include the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V with a score of 21440, just 0.2% lower, and the Intel Core i9-11900H with a score of 21367, 0.5% lower. On the other side, the Intel Xeon D-1746TER scores 21635, which is 0.7% higher, and the AMD EPYC 9454 scores 21223, 1.2% lower. For Greedfall, which relies on both single-thread and multi-thread performance, these CPUs would likely produce very similar frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios. The differences are small enough that gameplay experience would be nearly identical, though the Ryzen 5 2600's 6 cores and 12 threads at a base clock of 3.40 and boost up to 3.90 provide the baseline for this comparison.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570 has an average benchmark score of 20556. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, a 0.1% difference, meaning it would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Greedfall. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 0.1% higher, so it would be marginally faster. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, 0.4% lower, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, 0.5% higher. These small deltas suggest that swapping the Arc B570 for any of these GPUs would result in very similar performance across the measured resolutions and presets. At 1080p High, for example, the frame rate would likely stay in the low 90s, while at 1440p High it would hover around the mid 60s, and at 4K it would remain below the 60 FPS threshold.

The combination of the Ryzen 5 2600 with any of these rival GPUs would likely preserve the same playability verdicts: playable at 1080p and 1440p up to High settings, but not at 4K. The CPU's percentile ranking at 75 and the GPU's at 65 indicate that this pairing sits in the mid-to-upper range of tested hardware, and the rival components occupy a similar performance tier.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader database of tested combinations for Greedfall, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 paired with the Intel Arc B570 ranks 2979 out of 3703 combos. This places the pairing in the lower portion of the ranking, around the 20th percentile from the top. The rank reflects the overall performance across all measured settings and resolutions, and it is driven primarily by the GPU's inability to handle 4K resolution in this game.

The combination's ranking is consistent with its measured frame rates. At 1080p, it performs well, with the High preset averaging 92 FPS, which is competitive for this game. At 1440p, the High preset averages 64 FPS, which is playable but not exceptional. The 4K results, however, pull the overall rank down, as none of the presets reach the 60 FPS threshold. The rank of 2979 out of 3703 indicates that while this combination is far from the bottom, it is also below the median of tested pairs. Many other combinations with more powerful GPUs or newer CPUs would achieve higher frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions.

The percentile data supports this interpretation. The CPU's 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs shows that the Ryzen 5 2600 is a reasonably capable processor, but the GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates that the Arc B570 is more of a mid-tier part. In Greedfall, which is a 2019 title with moderate graphics demands, the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The combo rank of 2979 out of 3703 reflects this bottleneck: the CPU could likely keep up with a stronger GPU, but the Arc B570 constrains the overall performance.

The Verdict

The data provides a clear answer on whether this PC can run Greedfall. At 1920x1080, the combination is fully playable. The High preset averages 92 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold, and Medium averages 102 FPS. Even Ultra, at 59 FPS, is nearly playable, though it falls just one frame short. For 1080p gaming, this pairing delivers smooth performance with room to spare.

At 2560x1440, the combination remains playable with the right settings. The High preset averages 64 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a small margin. Medium averages 71 FPS and Low averages 90 FPS, offering additional headroom if needed. Ultra is not playable at 1440p, averaging only 41 FPS. For users with 1440p monitors, the High preset is the recommended choice, as it provides the best visual quality while maintaining playable frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is negative. No preset achieves the 60 FPS threshold. The best result is Low at 54 FPS, which is below playable, and the higher presets drop to 42 FPS, 38 FPS, and 24 FPS respectively. The data indicates that 4K resolution is not suitable for this hardware combination in Greedfall. Users with 4K displays would need to lower the resolution to 1440p or 1080p to achieve playable performance.

In summary, this PC can run Greedfall at 1080p with High settings at 92 FPS and at 1440p with High settings at 64 FPS. It cannot run the game at 4K with any preset. The combination of the Ryzen 5 2600 and Intel Arc B570 is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it delivers a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. The performance characteristics are consistent with the hardware's mid-tier positioning in the database, and the frame rates reflect a balanced pairing that is capable but not exceptional for this Action RPG.
