Greedfall

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 69.1 FPS. This is the clear choice for full visual fidelity at this resolution, as the recorded data shows a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The next step down, High, runs at 106.2 FPS, so there is headroom for demanding scenes, but Ultra remains the recommended setting for maximum image quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding playable preset is High, with an average of 72.1 FPS. Medium runs at 76.4 FPS and Low at 102.7 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality while still clearing the 60 FPS bar. Ultra at this resolution drops to 45.2 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold, so it is not recommended for sustained gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the only preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Low, which hits 62.5 FPS. Medium and High average 46.6 FPS and 44.3 FPS respectively, while Ultra averages 29.2 FPS. For 4K gaming, the data indicates that Low is the only viable option for smooth performance, and even that sits close to the threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results across resolutions show a clear pattern: the GPU becomes the dominant constraint as resolution increases, while the CPU remains more relevant at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the gap between Low and Ultra is 74.3 FPS (143.4 FPS versus 69.1 FPS), which indicates that the GPU is heavily utilized even at 1080p, but the CPU still has enough headroom to allow high frame rates. The Ryzen 5 4600G, with 6 cores and 12 threads, provides sufficient processing power for this Action RPG at 1080p, as evidenced by the ability to hit 143.4 FPS on Low.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rate drop from Low to Ultra is 57.5 FPS (102.7 FPS versus 45.2 FPS), which is a larger absolute drop than at 1080p. This suggests that the GPU is now the limiting factor, as the resolution increase places more load on the Intel Arc B580's shading units, texture units, and raster operations. The CPU's role diminishes relative to the GPU at this resolution, but the system still delivers smooth performance on High.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the bottleneck. The difference between Low and Ultra is 33.3 FPS (62.5 FPS versus 29.2 FPS), and even Low barely reaches 60 FPS. The Ryzen 5 4600G's processing power is largely irrelevant here, as the Arc B580's 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 456.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth are the key factors. The scaling between resolutions confirms this: going from 1080p Low to 1440p Low reduces the average from 143.4 FPS to 102.7 FPS, a 28.4% drop, while going from 1440p Low to 4K Low reduces it from 102.7 FPS to 62.5 FPS, a 39.1% drop. The GPU's load increases disproportionately with pixel count, reinforcing that the Arc B580 is the primary determinant of performance at higher resolutions.

FAQ

Q: Can this combination run Greedfall at 60 FPS on Ultra settings?

A: Yes, but only at 1920x1080, where Ultra averages 69.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra drops to 45.2 FPS, and at 3840x2160, Ultra averages 29.2 FPS, both below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the best setting for 1440p gameplay?

A: High is the best playable setting at 2560x1440, averaging 72.1 FPS. Medium runs slightly faster at 76.4 FPS, but High provides better visual quality while still exceeding the 60 FPS requirement.

Q: Is 4K gaming possible with this hardware?

A: Only on Low settings, which averages 62.5 FPS at 3840x2160. Medium and High average 46.6 FPS and 44.3 FPS respectively, while Ultra averages 29.2 FPS, so 4K is limited to the lowest preset for playable performance.

Q: How does the CPU affect performance compared to the GPU?

A: At 1080p, the CPU matters more, as the frame rate scales significantly with settings (143.4 FPS on Low versus 69.1 FPS on Ultra). At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant factor, with larger absolute frame rate drops between presets as resolution increases.

Q: What is the playable threshold for this game?

A: The database uses 60 FPS as the playable threshold. All settings that average at least 60 FPS are considered playable, and the verdict by resolution lists which presets meet this criterion.

Q: Does the system have enough memory bandwidth for high resolutions?

A: The Arc B580 provides 456.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which supports smooth operation at 1440p on High and 1080p on Ultra, but at 4K the bandwidth is insufficient to maintain 60 FPS on anything above Low.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Greedfall at all three tested resolutions, but with varying degrees of visual fidelity. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on every preset, including Ultra at 69.1 FPS, making 1080p the most versatile resolution for this game. At 2560x1440, High is the top playable setting at 72.1 FPS, with Medium and Low also exceeding 60 FPS, but Ultra falls short at 45.2 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low reaches the threshold at 62.5 FPS, while Medium, High, and Ultra all average below 60 FPS.

For players prioritizing smooth gameplay, 1080p Ultra is the recommended configuration, as it delivers the best balance of visual quality and performance. For those with a 1440p monitor, High offers a solid experience. 4K is technically playable only on Low, which may not be visually satisfying for an Action RPG, but the frame rate is above the minimum threshold. Overall, this combination is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K being a marginal case.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160 (4K)

• Low: average 62.5 FPS
• Medium: average 46.6 FPS
• High: average 44.3 FPS
• Ultra: average 29.2 FPS

2560x1440 (1440p)

• Low: average 102.7 FPS
• Medium: average 76.4 FPS
• High: average 72.1 FPS
• Ultra: average 45.2 FPS

1920x1080 (1080p)

• Low: average 143.4 FPS
• Medium: average 116.5 FPS
• High: average 106.2 FPS
• Ultra: average 69.1 FPS

The recorded data shows a consistent pattern: lower resolutions allow higher settings, and the gap between Low and Ultra narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 74.3 FPS, at 1440p it is 57.5 FPS, and at 4K it is 33.3 FPS. This reflects the GPU's growing bottleneck at higher pixel counts, where the Arc B580's throughput limits frame rates regardless of CPU capabilities.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and the Intel Arc B580 ranks 2815 out of 3703 tested combinations in Greedfall, placing it in the 24th percentile of all tested systems. This is a below-median ranking, but the absolute performance is still playable at the resolutions and settings described above.

The CPU itself ranks in the 71st percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, which scores 17482 (0.1% higher), and the Intel Core 7 150U, which scores 17395 (0.6% lower). The Ryzen 5 4600G's 6-core, 12-thread configuration provides solid multi-threaded performance, but its single-thread score of 726 in 3dmark_single_thread and 1919 in cinebench_r23_singlecore indicate moderate capabilities that are sufficient for Greedfall's requirements.

The GPU ranks in the 68th percentile among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23021. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP, which scores 23061 (0.2% higher), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080, which scores 22895 (0.6% lower). The Arc B580's 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 12 GB of GDDR6 memory provide strong rasterization capabilities, but the 4K results show that its raw throughput is not enough for high settings at that resolution.

The combination's rank of 2815 out of 3703 suggests that while the individual components are mid-pack, the pairing is not optimized for Greedfall specifically. The CPU's 71st percentile ranking is offset by the GPU's 68th percentile, resulting in a combined performance that is below the median. However, the measured FPS data shows that this system exceeds the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p on all settings and at 1440p on up to High, so the ranking does not reflect the practical playability for most users. The bottleneck at 4K is primarily the GPU, as expected, and the CPU's 12 threads are not fully utilized at that resolution. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, this combination performs adequately, but for 4K, users should lower expectations to Low settings.
