Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and Intel Arc B370 combination delivers a highly constrained experience in Greedfall. The recorded data shows a system that is firmly anchored to 1080p for playable frame rates, with the graphics processor acting as the primary limiting factor across all tested resolutions. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, optimal settings, and component roles based solely on the database measurements.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the Intel Arc B370 struggles to maintain playable performance. The Low preset yields an average of 31 FPS, while Medium drops to 25 FPS with a minimum of 21 FPS and a maximum of 28 FPS. High settings produce an average of 22 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 14 FPS. None of these averages approach the 60 FPS playable threshold, and even the most favorable Low preset remains below half of that target.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance improves but remains insufficient for smooth gameplay. The Low preset reaches an average of 53 FPS, which is close to the 60 FPS threshold but not quite there. Medium settings deliver 41 FPS on average, with a minimum of 35 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS. High settings produce 38 FPS, and Ultra drops to 24 FPS. The gap between Low and the next preset is notable, suggesting that the visual quality jump from Low to Medium carries a significant performance cost.

At 1920x1080, the picture becomes more viable. The Low preset runs at an average of 76 FPS, comfortably exceeding the 60 FPS target. Medium settings achieve exactly 60 FPS on average, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. High settings fall short at 54 FPS, and Ultra drops to 35 FPS. The data indicates that 1080p Medium is the boundary of playability, with High and Ultra remaining out of reach.

The min and max FPS values, where recorded, show that Medium presets at 1440p and 1080p have a spread of about 13 to 18 FPS between their minimum and maximum. This suggests moderate frame time variance, but not extreme instability. The missing min and max data for Low, High, and Ultra presets limit further interpretation, but the averages alone paint a clear picture of escalating GPU load.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves the 60 FPS threshold. The highest average recorded is 31 FPS at Low settings, but this falls far below the playable mark. The verdict data confirms that no playable settings exist at this resolution, so the best approach is to avoid 4K entirely for this title.

At 2560x1440, the same situation applies. The Low preset reaches 53 FPS, which is the closest any setting gets to 60 FPS, but it still misses the target. The verdict lists no playable settings at this resolution, meaning that even the least demanding preset cannot sustain smooth gameplay.

At 1920x1080, the Medium preset is the most demanding configuration that stays at or above 60 FPS. It delivers an exact average of 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. The Low preset also clears the threshold with 76 FPS, but Medium offers better visual quality while still meeting the playable requirement. High settings at 54 FPS and Ultra at 35 FPS both fall short, making Medium the optimal choice for this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals that the GPU is the dominant constraint in this pairing. Across all three resolutions, the Intel Arc B370 shows a steep performance decline as resolution increases. Comparing 1080p Low at 76 FPS to 1440p Low at 53 FPS, the frame rate drops by roughly 30%. Moving from 1440p Low to 4K Low, the average falls from 53 FPS to 31 FPS, another significant reduction. This pattern is consistent with a GPU that is fully saturated by pixel throughput demands.

The CPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 7400F with 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 architecture, has ample headroom for this game. The recorded CPU benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and a single-core score of 3072, indicate strong processing capability. The fact that frame rates drop so sharply with resolution, while the CPU remains the same, points to the GPU as the bottleneck. If the CPU were limiting, the frame rates would stay more consistent across resolutions.

The settings scaling further confirms this. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Medium is 16 FPS (76 to 60), while the difference between Medium and High is 6 FPS (60 to 54). At 1440p, the Low to Medium gap is 12 FPS (53 to 41), and the Medium to High gap is only 3 FPS (41 to 38). This pattern shows diminishing returns from higher presets, which is typical of a GPU-bound scenario where additional shading and texture work overwhelms the graphics processor.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is less burdened. At 1080p Low, the 76 FPS average suggests that the CPU can push higher frame rates, but the GPU cannot keep up when settings increase. At 4K, the CPU is almost certainly idle waiting on the GPU, as the 31 FPS average at Low settings is far below what the Ryzen 5 7400F could generate.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F provide context for CPU performance. The Intel Core i5-14600T is 0.1% faster in average benchmark score, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is 0.2% faster. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H is 0.2% slower, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is 0.3% faster. These deltas are negligible, meaning any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Greedfall when paired with the same GPU.

For the Intel Arc B370, the nearest rivals are significantly older and slower hardware. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 is 0.2% faster, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 is 0.5% faster, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M is 0.7% faster. The AMD FirePro M2000 is 1.4% slower. These comparisons underscore the Arc B370's position in the low end of the GPU performance spectrum, as its average benchmark score of 1184 places it near decade-old discrete parts. In practical terms, a system with any of these rival GPUs would show similar frame rates in Greedfall, all struggling to exceed 60 FPS beyond 1080p Low or Medium.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 3416 out of 3703 places this system in the lower tail of the distribution for Greedfall. Only 287 tested combinations perform worse. The Intel Arc B370's percentile rank of 5 among all GPUs is the primary driver of this low position, as the GPU is the clear performance bottleneck. The CPU's percentile rank of 83 is strong, but it cannot compensate for the graphics processor's limitations.

In practical terms, this ranking means that most other tested systems will deliver higher frame rates in Greedfall. The combination is only suitable for 1080p gaming with reduced settings, and even then, the Medium preset barely hits the 60 FPS target. The data suggests that this pairing is mismatched for a game like Greedfall, where the GPU demands outpace the Arc B370's capabilities.

The Verdict

This PC can run Greedfall, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the Low and Medium presets are playable, with Medium being the best settings choice at exactly 60 FPS average. The Low preset offers more headroom at 76 FPS, but Medium is the highest quality option that stays at or above the 60 FPS threshold. High and Ultra presets at 1080p are not playable, with averages of 54 FPS and 35 FPS respectively.

At 2560x1440 and 3840x2160, no settings achieve playable frame rates. The best results at 1440p are 53 FPS on Low, and at 4K the best is 31 FPS on Low. These falls far short of the 60 FPS target. The verdict is clear: this system is limited to 1080p gaming with Low or Medium presets for Greedfall. The GPU's low performance percentile and the combo's rank of 3416 out of 3703 confirm that this is a below-average setup for this title. Users seeking higher resolutions or more demanding presets would need a more powerful graphics card, as the CPU has sufficient headroom to support better performance if the GPU were upgraded.
