Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the Intel Arc B390 presents a unique performance profile in Greedfall, with the CPU being a high-end desktop part while the GPU is an integrated solution with a low benchmark percentile. The recorded data shows that this combination delivers playable frame rates only at 1920x1080, with the GPU acting as the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database places the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F in the 83rd percentile among all tested CPUs, indicating a strong overall processor. Its average benchmark score of 32750 is nearly identical to several nearby alternatives. The Intel Core i5-14600T scores 32707, a negligible 0.1% difference, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores 32697, a 0.2% gap. On the AMD side, the Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812, placing it 0.2% ahead, and the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 scores 32662, a 0.3% deficit. In practical terms, any of these processors would deliver virtually identical CPU-bound performance in Greedfall, meaning the frame rate differences between them would be imperceptible.

The Intel Arc B390 tells a different story. This GPU sits in the 9th percentile of all tested graphics cards, with an average 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482. Its nearest rivals are all legacy NVIDIA parts: the GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463 (1.3% behind), the GeForce 800M scores 1460 (1.5% behind), the GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446 (2.5% behind), and the GeForce GT 710 scores 1443 (2.7% behind). These deltas are small, but the absolute performance level is very low. Users considering this GPU should expect Greedfall performance comparable to these older discrete graphics solutions, which is to say limited to lower resolutions and settings.

The disparity between CPU and GPU tiers is stark. The processor is a modern Zen 4 design with 6 cores and 12 threads, while the graphics solution is an integrated part with 1536 shading units. This imbalance means the GPU will almost always be the limiting factor, a pattern clearly visible in the measured frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the verdict data lists no playable settings. The best recorded average frame rate at this resolution is 35 FPS on Low settings, which falls far below the 60 FPS playability threshold. Medium produces 27 FPS, High drops to 25 FPS, and Ultra manages only 16 FPS. None of these configurations approach playable performance.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly but remains below the threshold. The verdict data again lists no playable settings. Low settings yield 58 FPS, which is close to but not above the 60 FPS requirement. Medium produces 46 FPS, High drops to 42 FPS, and Ultra falls to 27 FPS. The best option, Low at 58 FPS, still misses the mark by a small margin.

At 1920x1080, the combination finally achieves playable performance. The database lists High, Low, and Medium as playable settings, with High being the best setting that maintains at least 60 FPS. High delivers an average of 60 FPS exactly, meeting the threshold. Low produces 84 FPS, and Medium produces 66 FPS. Ultra drops to 38 FPS and is not considered playable. For users seeking the highest visual quality while staying at or above 60 FPS, High is the recommended preset at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the CPU has sufficient headroom to push frame rates to 84 FPS on Low settings and 60 FPS on High settings. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution shows a drop from 84 to 38 FPS, a reduction of 46 FPS, which indicates that the GPU becomes more stressed as settings increase, but the CPU is not the bottleneck at the lower presets.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to dominate. Low settings produce 58 FPS, which is a 26 FPS drop compared to the same settings at 1080p. This steep decline when moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 demonstrates that the Arc B390 lacks the raw pixel throughput for higher resolutions. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 31 FPS (58 to 27), similar in magnitude to the 1080p gap, but the absolute values are all lower.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the limiting factor. Even Low settings only reach 35 FPS, and Ultra falls to 16 FPS. The resolution scaling from 1080p Low (84 FPS) to 4K Low (35 FPS) represents a 58% reduction in frame rate, a pattern consistent with a GPU that is severely bandwidth and pixel-rate limited. The Arc B390 has a pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s, figures that are simply insufficient for 4K gaming in this title.

The CPU's role is therefore supportive rather than decisive. The Ryzen 5 7400F has more than enough processing power for Greedfall at any resolution, as evidenced by its high Cinebench scores, but the GPU cannot translate that CPU capability into high frame rates beyond 1080p. The processor matters most at 1080p Low, where the frame rate reaches 84 FPS, but at every other resolution and preset combination, the GPU determines the outcome.

The Verdict

This PC can run Greedfall, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the combination clears the 60 FPS threshold on High, Low, and Medium settings. High is the best playable setting with an average of 60 FPS, while Low reaches 84 FPS and Medium reaches 66 FPS. Ultra at 1080p falls short at 38 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system cannot maintain 60 FPS on any setting. The closest option is Low at 58 FPS, which is 2 FPS below the threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra produce 46, 42, and 27 FPS respectively. At 3840x2160, performance is far below playable levels across the board, with the best option being Low at 35 FPS.

The verdict is straightforward: this is a 1080p gaming configuration for Greedfall. Users with 1440p or 4K displays will need to lower resolution or upgrade the GPU, as the integrated Arc B390 simply does not have the throughput for those targets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded data shows the following averages. Low settings deliver 84 FPS, Medium delivers 66 FPS with a minimum of 56 and a maximum of 76, High delivers 60 FPS, and Ultra delivers 38 FPS. The Medium preset has the only complete min/max data at this resolution, showing a 20 FPS range between minimum and maximum.

At 2560x1440, Low settings produce 58 FPS, Medium produces 46 FPS with a minimum of 39 and a maximum of 53, High produces 42 FPS, and Ultra produces 27 FPS. The Medium preset again has the only full min/max range, spanning 14 FPS.

At 3840x2160, Low settings produce 35 FPS, Medium produces 27 FPS with a minimum of 23 and a maximum of 32, High produces 25 FPS, and Ultra produces 16 FPS. The Medium preset shows a 9 FPS range between minimum and maximum.

The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: Medium settings are the only preset with complete min/max data, and the frame time variance increases as resolution rises. The 1080p Medium range of 56 to 76 FPS shows more fluctuation than the 4K Medium range of 23 to 32 FPS, but the absolute values are much higher at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and Intel Arc B390 combination ranks 3291 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the bottom 11% of all configurations in the database. This low ranking is driven almost entirely by the GPU, which sits in the 9th percentile of all tested graphics cards. The CPU, by contrast, is in the 83rd percentile, so the pairing represents a significant bottleneck mismatch.

The rank reflects the measured frame rates across all resolutions. With playable performance limited to 1080p and no playable settings at 1440p or 4K, the combo trails most other tested configurations. The 412 combos ranked below this one would include systems with even weaker GPUs or CPUs, but the overall position indicates that this is not a competitive gaming configuration for Greedfall.

Users considering this pairing should understand that the Ryzen 5 7400F has substantial headroom for a future GPU upgrade. The processor's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21765 and single-core score of 3072 suggest it can handle far more demanding graphics hardware. The current bottleneck is the Arc B390, and replacing it with a stronger discrete GPU would dramatically improve the combo's rank in this game.
