Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p gaming experience in Greedfall, but it falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K. Based on measured data, this combo ranks 2979th out of 3703 tested combinations, placing it in the lower-mid tier of the database. The CPU sits at the 85th percentile among all processors, while the GPU is at the 65th percentile among all graphics cards, indicating a balanced pairing where the graphics card is the more likely performance limiter.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and Intel Arc B570 achieves a combo rank of 2979 out of 3703 tested systems in Greedfall. This places the pairing in the bottom 20% of all recorded combinations, which is a significant consideration for a game released in 2019. The rank reflects the aggregate performance across all resolutions and presets, and the data shows that while the system can handle lower resolutions comfortably, it struggles at 4K.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 36945, which places it at the 85th percentile of all CPUs. This is a strong result for a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3 part. The GPU's average benchmark score is 20556, placing it at the 65th percentile of all GPUs. The gap between these percentiles suggests that the CPU has more headroom relative to its peers than the GPU does, which is consistent with the frame rate data showing GPU-bound behavior at higher resolutions.

The combo rank of 2979 indicates that in a database of 3703 entries, only about 726 combinations perform worse. This is not a flattering position, but it is important to contextualize this with the specific game's demands. Greedfall is an Action RPG that was not particularly demanding even at its 2019 release, yet this combo still fails to reach 60 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is a clear limitation.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 130 FPS on Low settings and 92 FPS on High, indicating that neither component is severely limiting at this resolution. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a drop of approximately 30% at High settings (from 92 to 64 FPS), which is a typical GPU-bound scaling pattern. This suggests that at 1440p, the Intel Arc B570 is the primary determinant of performance, with the CPU having sufficient headroom.

At 3840x2160, the situation becomes more pronounced. The High preset yields only 38 FPS, a 41% drop from the 1440p High result of 64 FPS. This steep decline is characteristic of a GPU that is overwhelmed by pixel throughput. The CPU's role diminishes further at 4K, as the frame rate is almost entirely dictated by the graphics card's rasterization capabilities. The Arc B570's 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are simply insufficient for 4K gaming in this title.

The Medium preset data provides additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the average is 102 FPS with a minimum of 87 FPS. At 1440p Medium, it drops to 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS. At 4K Medium, it falls to 42 FPS with a minimum of 36 FPS. The progression shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at every resolution above 1080p, as the CPU's single-thread score of 2872 and multithread score of 19236 are more than adequate for this game's engine.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F provide context for CPU performance. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 has an average score of 36938, which is essentially identical to the 5600F's 36945, with a delta of 0%. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018, which is 0.2% higher, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093, which is 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112, which is 0.5% higher. These deltas are all within 1%, meaning that swapping the 5600F for any of these CPUs would produce virtually indistinguishable frame rates in Greedfall.

For the Intel Arc B570, the nearest rivals show a similar clustering. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, which is 0.1% lower than the Arc B570's 20556. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, which is 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, which is 0.4% lower, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, which is 0.5% higher. All of these GPUs are within 1% of each other, indicating that the Arc B570's performance profile is closely matched by these alternatives. In practice, a system with any of these CPUs paired with any of these GPUs would deliver near-identical FPS in Greedfall.

The Verdict

The verdict is clear: this PC can run Greedfall at 60 FPS or above at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. At 1080p, the playable settings include Low, Medium, and High, with the best playable setting being High at 92 FPS average. At 1440p, the playable settings are also Low, Medium, and High, with High being the best at 64 FPS average. At 4K, there are no playable settings that reach 60 FPS; the highest average is 54 FPS on Low, which does not meet the 60 FPS threshold.

The best settings per resolution are as follows: at 1080p, High delivers 92 FPS; at 1440p, High delivers 64 FPS; at 4K, no preset reaches 60 FPS. For users targeting 4K, the system will require lower settings and will still fall short of the playable threshold. The data indicates that the Arc B570 is the limiting factor at 4K, as even the Low preset only produces 54 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured frame rates show a clear hierarchy across presets. Low settings produce an average of 130 FPS. Medium settings yield 102 FPS average, with a minimum of 87 and maximum of 117. High settings produce 92 FPS average. Ultra settings drop to 59 FPS average, which is just below the 60 FPS threshold. The gap between High and Ultra is 33 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset's additional effects are costly on this GPU.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down predictably. Low settings produce 90 FPS average. Medium settings yield 71 FPS average, with a minimum of 60 and maximum of 81. High settings produce 64 FPS average. Ultra settings drop to 41 FPS average, which is a 36% reduction from High. The Medium preset's minimum of 60 FPS shows that this setting is right at the edge of playability with occasional dips.

At 3840x2160, the results are marginal. Low settings produce 54 FPS average. Medium settings yield 42 FPS average, with a minimum of 36 and maximum of 48. High settings produce 38 FPS average. Ultra settings drop to 24 FPS average. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 30 FPS spread, and none of these presets meet the 60 FPS threshold. The minimum frame rate of 36 FPS at Medium indicates that stuttering may occur during intense scenes.
