Greedfall

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B370 pairing in Greedfall shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the combination delivers playable frame rates at Low and Medium settings, with the average FPS hitting 76 at Low and exactly 60 at Medium. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS, indicating some variability but overall sustained performance. High settings at 1080p drop to 54 FPS average, while Ultra falls to 35 FPS, both below the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving up to 2560x1440, the average frame rates decline across all presets. Low settings produce 53 FPS average, which is close to the playable threshold but still under it. Medium averages 41 FPS with a minimum of 35 and maximum of 48, while High drops to 38 FPS and Ultra to 24 FPS. None of the 1440p presets reach the 60 FPS mark, making this resolution unsuitable for smooth gameplay with this hardware combination.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes marginal. Low settings yield 31 FPS average, Medium averages 25 FPS with a minimum of 21 and maximum of 28, High averages 22 FPS, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. These figures are far below the playable threshold, and the data shows no preset at 4K can sustain even half of the 60 FPS target. The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 1440p to 4K is steep, with the Ultra preset at 4K delivering less than one-quarter of the frame rate seen at 1080p Low.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 3416 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. This positions the pairing in the lower percentile of all tested systems, meaning a substantial majority of other hardware configurations deliver higher average frame rates in this title. The rank reflects the significant GPU bottleneck created by the Intel Arc B370, which is an integrated graphics solution rather than a discrete card.

Looking at the GPU's benchmark standing, the Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. This places it near the very bottom of the performance spectrum for modern graphics hardware. The CPU, by contrast, performs much more strongly: the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F ranks in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24964. The contrast between the high-performing processor and the low-performing graphics solution explains why the combo rank is so low despite the CPU's capabilities.

The combination rank of 3416 out of 3703 means only 287 tested configurations perform worse in this game. This is a bottom-quartile result, and the data indicates that most gaming systems, even those with modest discrete GPUs, would outperform this pairing in Greedfall. The bottleneck is unambiguous: the CPU has ample headroom, but the GPU cannot translate that into frame rate.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows a pronounced GPU bottleneck at every resolution and preset in Greedfall. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, with its 6 cores, 12 threads, and boost clock up to 5.00 GHz, provides more than enough processing power for this 2019 action RPG. The CPU's benchmark results, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22799 and a single-core score of 3218, indicate strong performance that far exceeds what this game demands.

The Intel Arc B370, however, is the limiting factor. With only 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units, this integrated GPU delivers just 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 places it alongside much older hardware like the ATI Radeon HD 5770, which scores 1190. The GPU's 25 W TDP and system-shared memory architecture are typical of integrated solutions, and the performance ceiling is correspondingly low.

The scaling between resolutions demonstrates the GPU constraint clearly. At 1080p Low, the system averages 76 FPS, but at 4K Low it drops to 31 FPS, a reduction of over 59 percent. This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-limited scenario where the render resolution directly impacts the workload. The CPU's role is secondary here; even at the lowest resolution and preset, the frame rate is determined by the GPU's ability to process graphics, not by processor throughput.

The preset scaling further confirms the GPU bottleneck. Moving from 1080p Low to 1080p Ultra reduces the average from 76 FPS to 35 FPS, a drop of more than half. At 4K, the same preset change cuts performance from 31 FPS to 14 FPS. These steep declines with increasing graphics load are exactly what would be expected when the GPU is the constraining component.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Greedfall at 60 FPS on 1920x1080?

A: Yes, but only at Low or Medium settings. The Medium preset delivers exactly 60 FPS average, with a minimum of 51 FPS and maximum of 69 FPS. Low settings achieve 76 FPS average. High and Ultra settings fall below the threshold at 54 FPS and 35 FPS respectively.

Q: What frame rates can I expect at 2560x1440?

A: None of the 1440p presets reach the 60 FPS playable threshold. Low settings average 53 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra drops to 24 FPS. The Medium preset shows a range between 35 and 48 FPS.

Q: Is 4K gaming possible with this hardware combination?

A: The data shows no playable settings at 3840x2160. Even Low settings only manage 31 FPS average, while Medium, High, and Ultra produce 25, 22, and 14 FPS respectively. The system cannot sustain smooth gameplay at 4K in Greedfall.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F has an average benchmark score of 24964, placing it in the 77th percentile. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11850H at 24935 (0.1 percent behind), the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F at 25005 (0.2 percent ahead), and the Intel Core i7-13620H at 24911 (0.2 percent behind). The CPU is not the limiting factor in this system.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F sits within a tight performance cluster. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, just 0.1 percent below the 7500F's 24964 average. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25005, a 0.2 percent advantage. The Intel Core i7-13620H at 24911 and Intel Core 5 210H at 24872 are 0.2 percent and 0.4 percent behind respectively. Any of these processors would behave nearly identically in Greedfall, as the game's frame rates are not CPU-bound with this GPU.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B370's nearest rivals are all significantly older hardware. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, essentially tied with the Arc B370's 1184. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5 percent higher, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7 percent higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4 percent lower. These comparisons illustrate the Arc B370's performance class: it is roughly equivalent to graphics solutions from over a decade ago, and any of these alternatives would produce similar frame rates in Greedfall.

The practical implication is that users considering upgrades should focus on the GPU, as swapping to a more powerful graphics card would yield substantial frame rate improvements. The CPU has significant headroom and would not be the limiting factor in most GPU upgrade scenarios.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Medium preset is the most demanding configuration that maintains at least 60 FPS average. It delivers exactly 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 FPS and maximum of 69 FPS. This is the recommended setting for smooth gameplay at this resolution. Low settings provide additional headroom at 76 FPS average, but Medium offers the best visual quality while staying at the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the database records no playable settings. The closest option is Low at 53 FPS average, but this falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. Users at this resolution would experience sub-60 FPS performance across all presets, with Medium averaging 41 FPS and High at 38 FPS. The frame rate variability at Medium, ranging from 35 to 48 FPS, would be noticeable during gameplay.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves playable frame rates. Low settings average 31 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS, High averages 22 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. The data indicates that this hardware combination is not suitable for 4K gaming in Greedfall under any settings configuration. Users with 4K displays would need to run the game at a lower resolution or consider different hardware to achieve smooth performance.
