Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU nearest rivals provide context for what other hardware may produce similar frame pacing in Greedfall.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 2600, the database lists four near neighbors by average benchmark score. The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V scores 21440, which is 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 5 2600's 21484 average. The Intel Core i9-11900H scores 21367, 0.5% lower. The Intel Xeon D-1746TER scores 21635, 0.7% higher. The AMD EPYC 9454 scores 21223, 1.2% lower. Given these deltas are all within roughly one percent, any of these processors would likely deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Greedfall, though the EPYC and Xeon are server parts that would not typically appear in a gaming build.

For the Intel Arc B580, the nearest rivals show a similar clustering. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 23061, just 0.2% above the B580's 23021 average. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, 0.6% below. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23172, 0.7% above. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, 1% above. The RTX 2080 and RTX 3080 are both older NVIDIA flagships, and their proximity to the B580 in average score suggests that in Greedfall, the Arc B580 should produce frame rates comparable to those cards at the same settings, assuming driver overhead is not a differentiator.

The practical takeaway is that swapping the Ryzen 5 2600 for any of those four CPUs, or swapping the Arc B580 for any of those four GPUs, would likely shift average frame rates by only a few percent. In Greedfall, where the measured FPS values at 1080p range from 66.9 to 144.4, a one percent change would translate to roughly 0.7 to 1.4 FPS, imperceptible in real-time play.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that Greedfall scales more strongly with resolution than with preset changes, which points to the GPU as the primary constraint in most configurations.

At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 77.5 FPS (144.4 down to 66.9). At 2560x1440, the same preset swing covers 53.7 FPS (101 down to 47.3). At 3840x2160, the swing narrows to 31.3 FPS (58.9 down to 27.6). This compression at higher resolutions indicates that pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor, which is a GPU-bound pattern.

Looking at scaling across resolutions for a fixed preset, the trends reinforce this. High preset at 1080p averages 103.7 FPS, at 1440p it drops to 70.9 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 46.1 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 32.8 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is 24.8 FPS. Medium preset goes from 112.4 at 1080p to 80.1 at 1440p to 45.1 at 4K. Low preset goes from 144.4 to 101 to 58.9. In every case, the resolution step costs more than the preset step at the same resolution.

The CPU's role is more visible at lower resolutions where the frame rate ceiling is higher. At 1080p Low, the system delivers 144.4 FPS, which exceeds what the Arc B580 would typically produce in a purely GPU-limited scenario for this title. The Ryzen 5 2600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides enough headroom to reach that level, but the single-thread score of 2239 in Passmark and the 157.3 single-core Cinebench R15 score indicate that this is not an exceptionally strong CPU for high-refresh gaming. The measured 144.4 FPS at 1080p Low is likely near the CPU's effective ceiling for this game.

At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The 4K results show no preset reaching 60 FPS, and even Low at 58.9 FPS misses the threshold by 1.1 FPS. This suggests that the Arc B580's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth are not sufficient to sustain playable frame rates at 4K in Greedfall, regardless of the CPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and Intel Arc B580 combination ranks 2836 out of 3703 tested combos for Greedfall. This places it in the 23rd percentile of all tested pairings, meaning roughly 77% of combinations in the database perform better in this specific game.

Given the component specifications, this ranking is consistent with expectations. The Ryzen 5 2600 sits at the 75th percentile among all CPUs in the database, which is respectable for a 2018 processor. The Arc B580 sits at the 68th percentile among all GPUs. However, the game itself is from 2019, and the combination of a mid-range CPU from 2018 with a mid-range GPU from 2024 does not produce standout performance in this title.

The rank of 2836 out of 3703 means the combo is not at the bottom, but it is far from the top. For context, the measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (66.9) clears the 60 FPS threshold, but only by 6.9 FPS. At 1440p, the best playable preset is High at 70.9 FPS. These are playable numbers, but they do not suggest a high-performance pairing.

The delta between the combo's rank and the component percentiles is notable. The CPU and GPU both rank above the 50th percentile individually, yet the combo ranks in the lower 23rd percentile for this game. This suggests that Greedfall may be sensitive to one of the components in a way that the aggregate benchmark scores do not capture, possibly the CPU's single-thread performance or the GPU's driver maturity with older DirectX titles.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Greedfall, but only at certain resolutions and presets.

At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable. The Ultra preset averages 66.9 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. High averages 103.7 FPS, Medium averages 112.4 FPS, and Low averages 144.4 FPS. Any setting choice at 1080p will deliver a smooth experience.

At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: Low at 101 FPS, Medium at 80.1 FPS, and High at 70.9 FPS. Ultra drops to 47.3 FPS, which is below the playable threshold and would result in noticeable stutter during combat or exploration.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. Low comes closest at 58.9 FPS, followed by High at 46.1 FPS, Medium at 45.1 FPS, and Ultra at 27.6 FPS. The 4K experience would be sub-optimal even at the lowest settings.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p is fully playable at maximum settings, 1440p is playable up to High settings, and 4K is not playable at any setting.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 66.9 FPS. This is the recommended setting for maximum visual quality at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding playable preset is High, averaging 70.9 FPS. This provides a 10.9 FPS margin above the 60 FPS threshold, which should absorb minor scene-to-scene fluctuations.

At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. The closest is Low at 58.9 FPS, which is 1.1 FPS below the threshold. Users targeting 4K would need to accept a lower frame rate or reduce resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080:

• Low: average 144.4 FPS
• Medium: average 112.4 FPS
• High: average 103.7 FPS
• Ultra: average 66.9 FPS

2560x1440:

• Low: average 101 FPS
• Medium: average 80.1 FPS
• High: average 70.9 FPS
• Ultra: average 47.3 FPS

3840x2160:

• Low: average 58.9 FPS
• Medium: average 45.1 FPS
• High: average 46.1 FPS
• Ultra: average 27.6 FPS

The database records no minimum or maximum frame times for any of these configurations, so all analysis relies on average FPS. The pattern across resolutions is consistent: each step from 1080p to 1440p to 4K reduces average FPS substantially, and the gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution decreases. At 1080p, the Ultra preset still nearly doubles the 4K Low result, underlining the GPU's resolution sensitivity. The 1440p results show a clear cliff between High and Ultra, where the latter falls 23.6 FPS below the playable threshold. This suggests that the Ultra preset's additional effects at 1440p impose a cost that the Arc B580 cannot sustain.
