Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p gaming experience in Greedfall, but it is not a 4K-capable combination. At 1920x1080, the combo clears the 60 FPS threshold at every preset, including Ultra, while 2560x1440 remains playable up to High settings. At 3840x2160, however, no settings preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold, making 4K a non-starter for this pairing. The data indicates a well-balanced CPU-GPU match where the Intel Arc B580 does the heavy lifting, and the Ryzen 5 5600 provides ample headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Greedfall covers three resolutions — 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 — each tested at Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings. The benchmark results show a clear performance hierarchy, with average FPS declining as resolution and graphical demands increase.

At 1920x1080, the combo performs exceptionally well across all settings. Low settings deliver an average of 142.7 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure in the entire benchmark suite. Medium settings produce an average of 115.9 FPS, while High settings yield 102.6 FPS. Even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains an average of 68.4 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The spread from Low to Ultra is 74.3 FPS, indicating that graphical settings have a significant impact at this resolution, but the hardware has enough headroom to absorb the penalty.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops but remains largely playable. Low settings average 104.1 FPS, which is still well above 60 FPS. Medium settings follow at 78.4 FPS, and High settings average 75 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below the playable threshold, averaging 49.1 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 55 FPS, showing a similar proportional impact to 1080p, but the starting point is lower, pushing Ultra out of playable range.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings average 57.8 FPS, just barely missing the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings drop to 48.7 FPS, High settings average 43.4 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 28.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 29.5 FPS, but the overall performance is too low for any preset to be considered playable. The data shows a steep drop-off when scaling from 1440p to 4K, with even the lowest settings failing to hit the playable target.

Min and max FPS values are not provided in the benchmark data, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS. That said, the averages are consistent enough to draw clear conclusions about the combo’s capabilities at each resolution and settings level.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the best settings are defined as the most demanding preset that maintains an average FPS at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The verdict by resolution confirms which settings qualify.

At 1920x1080, all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — clear the 60 FPS threshold. The best settings are Ultra, which averages 68.4 FPS. This is the maximum graphical quality available in the benchmark, and the combo delivers playable performance even at that highest preset. The 1080p Ultra result is particularly notable because it leaves only 8.4 FPS of headroom above the threshold, but it does stay on the right side of playability.

At 2560x1440, three presets qualify as playable: Low (104.1 FPS), Medium (78.4 FPS), and High (75 FPS). The best settings are High, averaging 75 FPS. This provides 15 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, which is a comfortable margin for most gameplay scenarios. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 49.1 FPS, falling 10.9 FPS short of the threshold, so it is excluded from the best settings.

At 3840x2160, no settings preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. Low settings come closest at 57.8 FPS, but that is still below the threshold. Medium averages 48.7 FPS, High averages 43.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 28.3 FPS. The verdict for 4K lists no playable settings, so there is no best settings recommendation at this resolution. Users targeting 4K would need to accept frame rates well below 60 FPS, which the data does not recommend for this combo.

The takeaway is that this combo sits in a crowded performance band. Users with any of the listed rival CPUs or GPUs should see similar FPS numbers in Greedfall, making the Ryzen 5 5600 + Arc B580 a representative example of a mid-range setup rather than an outlier.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + Intel Arc B580 can run Greedfall, but the playable experience depends heavily on resolution. The data is clear: at 1920x1080, this combo is fully capable, with all four settings presets clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best settings at 1080p are Ultra, which averages 68.4 FPS, proving that the hardware can handle maximum graphical quality without dropping below playable frame rates. At 2560x1440, the combo remains playable up to High settings, which averages 75 FPS. Medium (78.4 FPS) and Low (104.1 FPS) also qualify as playable, but Ultra falls to 49.1 FPS, missing the threshold by a significant margin.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is unambiguous: no settings preset reaches 60 FPS, and the combo cannot deliver a playable experience at 4K. The closest is Low at 57.8 FPS, which is 2.2 FPS short of the threshold, but the gap is enough to disqualify all 4K presets. The performance drop from 1440p to 4K is steep, with even Low settings losing 46.3 FPS compared to the same settings at 1440p.

For a user seeking a 60 FPS experience, the recommendation is straightforward: stick to 1080p for maximum quality or 1440p with High settings. The combo’s rank of 2814 out of 3703 tested combinations reflects this mixed capability — strong at mainstream resolutions, insufficient for 4K. The data supports the conclusion that this is a capable mid-range gaming rig for Greedfall, provided the resolution is kept to 1440p or below. At 1080p, it excels; at 1440p, it delivers solid performance with some settings headroom; at 4K, it comes up short. The verdict by resolution confirms that the playable sweet spot is 1080p Ultra or 1440p High, with no 4K options available.
