CPU and GPU Roles

The data for Greedfall shows a clear pattern of GPU limitation across all resolutions, but the degree of constraint varies significantly. At 3840x2160, the frame rates are extremely low regardless of preset: 31 FPS at Low, 25 FPS at Medium, 22 FPS at High, and 14 FPS at Ultra. This narrow spread between presets, only 17 FPS from Low to Ultra, suggests the GPU is saturated even at the lowest settings. The system is heavily GPU-bound at 4K.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts slightly. The Low preset reaches 53 FPS, while Medium drops to 41 FPS, High to 38 FPS, and Ultra to 24 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 12 FPS, which is larger than the 6 FPS gap seen at 4K between the same two presets. This indicates that as resolution decreases, settings begin to matter more relative to the overall load. Still, the GPU remains the limiting factor; the CPU's 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 4.00 GHz boost clock is not the bottleneck at 1440p.

At 1080p, the CPU's role becomes more visible. The Low preset averages 76 FPS, Medium hits exactly 60 FPS, High reaches 54 FPS, and Ultra falls to 35 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium at 1080p is 16 FPS, and from Medium to High it is 6 FPS. The fact that the Low to Medium transition produces the largest jump in frame rate across the entire test suite suggests that Greedfall responds to reduced geometry and shading workloads as the GPU has more headroom. The CPU can feed the GPU adequately at 1080p, but the Arc B370's 1280 shading units and 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput cap the upper presets.

The GPU's low percentile ranking (5th among all GPUs) compared to the CPU's 85th percentile confirms the imbalance. The CPU is a strong performer relative to the broader database, while the GPU is near the bottom. This combination means that in Greedfall, the GPU dictates playability at every resolution. The CPU would be capable of higher frame rates if paired with a faster GPU, but the Arc B370 cannot deliver enough raw rendering throughput beyond the Low and Medium presets at 1080p.

Resolution scaling amplifies the GPU limitation. From 1080p Medium (60 FPS) to 1440p Medium (41 FPS), the drop is 19 FPS, a 31.7% reduction. From 1440p Medium to 4K Medium (25 FPS), the drop is another 16 FPS, a 39% reduction. These steep declines are typical of a GPU that runs out of fillrate and shader capacity quickly as pixel count rises. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s over dual-channel DDR4 is sufficient to support the system shared memory architecture, but the GPU's system dependent memory bandwidth makes high resolutions particularly punishing.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest average frame rate recorded at 4K is 31 FPS on the Low preset. The database verdict confirms this outcome with no playable settings listed at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, again no preset clears 60 FPS. The Low preset comes closest at 53 FPS, but it still falls 7 FPS short of the playable threshold. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. There is no recommended setting at 1440p.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 76 FPS and the Medium preset averages exactly 60 FPS. The Medium preset is the most demanding setting that remains at or above the 60 FPS threshold. It produces a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. The database lists Low and Medium as playable settings, with Medium as the best setting at an average of 60 FPS. The High preset at 54 FPS and the Ultra preset at 35 FPS are not playable by the 60 FPS standard.

Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: the GPU cannot sustain playable frame rates beyond 1080p Medium. Users targeting 60 FPS must use 1080p and select either Low or Medium, with Medium being the highest quality option that still meets the threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F + Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 3416 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. This places the system in the bottom 7.8% of all tested configurations in the database. The ranking reflects the GPU's limited rendering capability rather than the CPU's processing power. The CPU alone ranks in the 85th percentile across all CPUs, but the GPU ranks in the 5th percentile across all GPUs.

This wide disparity between component percentiles explains the low combo ranking. In Greedfall, a game that scales heavily with GPU throughput, the Arc B370's 1184 3DMark Steel Nomad score is the decisive factor. The combination sits below the vast majority of tested systems, and the recorded frame rates confirm that even modest presets at 1080p push the GPU to its limits.

Within the context of the database, this combo is not competitive for Greedfall at higher resolutions. The 3416th rank out of 3703 combos places it firmly in the lower tier. The system can achieve playable frame rates only at 1080p Low and Medium, which aligns with its rank. Users with this configuration should expect performance similar to older discrete GPUs, as the nearest rivals for the Arc B370 include the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and AMD Radeon HD 7650M.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its performance tier. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F averages 36945 in benchmark scores. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 scores 36938, a delta of 0%, meaning the two processors are effectively identical in average benchmark performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018, which is 0.2% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093, 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112, 0.5% higher. Any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically to the 5600F in Greedfall, given the same GPU, because the game is GPU-bound in this configuration.

The GPU's nearest rivals are significantly older parts. The Intel Arc B370 scores 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2% higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4% lower. These deltas are all within 1.4%, so systems using these GPUs would produce nearly the same frame rates in Greedfall as the Arc B370. The performance class is consistent: these are entry-level or legacy GPUs that struggle with modern rendering loads.

If a user were to swap the Arc B370 for one of these near-identical GPUs, the measured FPS in Greedfall would remain largely unchanged. Conversely, pairing the Ryzen 5 5600F with a stronger GPU would shift the bottleneck away from the graphics card, but such a comparison is outside the recorded data for this specific combo.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F + Intel Arc B370 can run Greedfall, but only under strict conditions. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on the Low preset (76 FPS average) and the Medium preset (60 FPS average). The verdict by resolution confirms that 1080p Low and Medium are the only playable settings in the entire test suite.

At 2560x1440, the system cannot achieve playable frame rates. The Low preset averages 53 FPS, which is 7 FPS below the threshold. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. No 1440p setting is listed as playable.

At 3840x2160, the system is far below the threshold. The Low preset averages 31 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS, High averages 22 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. None of these are close to playable.

The verdict is clear: this PC runs Greedfall at 1080p with Medium settings as the best playable option. Users who require higher resolutions or higher presets would need a more capable GPU. The CPU is not the limiting factor; the Arc B370's performance class restricts the system to entry-level 1080p gaming.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded data shows the following averages: Low preset 31 FPS, Medium preset 25 FPS (minimum 21, maximum 28), High preset 22 FPS, and Ultra preset 14 FPS. The Medium preset is the only 4K entry with min and max values recorded; the others lack min and max data.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low preset 53 FPS, Medium preset 41 FPS (minimum 35, maximum 48), High preset 38 FPS, and Ultra preset 24 FPS. Again, only the Medium preset includes min and max values.

At 1920x1080, the averages are: Low preset 76 FPS, Medium preset 60 FPS (minimum 51, maximum 69), High preset 54 FPS, and Ultra preset 35 FPS. The Medium preset is the only one with a full min and max range recorded.

The data shows a consistent progression across resolutions. Each step up in resolution reduces the average frame rate by roughly 15 to 20 FPS for the same preset. The Medium preset, which is the most fully documented, demonstrates this clearly: 60 FPS at 1080p, 41 FPS at 1440p, and 25 FPS at 4K. The minimum frame rates also decline: 51 FPS at 1080p, 35 FPS at 1440p, and 21 FPS at 4K. These minimums indicate that even the playable 1080p Medium setting can dip below 60 FPS at times, though the average stays at the threshold.

The Low preset at 1080p is the only setting that provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, with an average of 76 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 1080p is 16 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 6 FPS, and the gap between High and Ultra is 19 FPS. This uneven scaling suggests that the Ultra preset introduces a disproportionately heavy rendering load that the Arc B370 cannot handle.

Overall, the measured FPS breakdown confirms that this system is viable for Greedfall only at 1080p with Low or Medium settings. All other resolution and preset combinations fall below the 60 FPS playable threshold.
