Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a playable experience in Greedfall at 1080p and 1440p, but it falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K. The data shows a CPU that sits in the 77th percentile among all processors, paired with a GPU in the 65th percentile, creating a balanced pairing for this 2019 Action RPG.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have near-neighbor hardware that would produce broadly similar frame rates in Greedfall. For the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, its average benchmark score of 24,964 places it within 0.4% of three Intel laptop processors and one AMD desktop chip. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24,935, a delta of just 0.1%, meaning in CPU-bound scenarios these two would be indistinguishable. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25,005, which is 0.2% higher, while the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24,911 (0.2% lower) and the Intel Core 5 210H scores 24,872 (0.4% lower). Any of these four alternatives would produce nearly identical CPU performance in Greedfall, as the game's engine rarely stresses more than a few threads.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570's average benchmark score of 20,556 is closely matched by three rivals. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20,534 (0.1% lower), making it the closest comparison; users migrating from a laptop with that GPU would see negligible differences. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20,582 (0.1% higher), which is a direct desktop predecessor in Intel's own lineup. Two older mobile GPUs also appear within 0.5%: the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 20,480 (0.4% lower) and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X at 20,662 (0.5% higher). These deltas are within run-to-run variance, so all four rivals would produce the same frame rate ranges as the Arc B570 across Greedfall's resolution and preset ladder.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at every resolution in Greedfall, with the CPU providing ample headroom. This is evident from the scaling pattern: at 1920x1080 Low, the system produces 130 FPS, but at 3840x2160 Low it drops to 54 FPS, a 58% reduction. That steep cliff with identical settings points squarely at graphics workload dominating performance. The CPU's single-thread score of 974 in 3DMark and multi-thread score of 6,376 in the 16-thread test are far more than this title needs, especially given Greedfall's modest thread usage.

Preset scaling reinforces the GPU-bound analysis. At 2560x1440, the average frame goes from 90 FPS at Low to 64 FPS at High to 41 FPS at Ultra. The jump from Low to Ultra costs 54% of the frame rate, a characteristic pattern of pixel and shader pressure. At 1080p, the same progression shows 130 FPS at Low, 102 FPS at Medium, 92 FPS at High, and 59 FPS at Ultra. The Ultra preset at 1080p barely misses 60 FPS, and the CPU is not the cause; the Arc B570's compute capacity is simply saturated.

Resolution scaling also shows where the CPU would matter if it were weaker. At 1080p Low, the system hits 130 FPS, which is high enough that a slower processor might start to limit frame rates. But the Ryzen 5 7500F's 3DMark single-thread score of 974 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,218 keep it well clear of any CPU limit. The data indicates that the CPU's role is to keep the frame feeding steady, while the GPU dominates all measured performance deltas between 1080p and 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers 12 combinations of resolution and preset, with average frame rates for all and min/max only for Medium settings. At 1080p, the system is clearly playable: Low delivers 130 FPS average, Medium yields 102 FPS (min 87, max 117), High produces 92 FPS, and Ultra drops to 59 FPS. The Ultra number is worth noting because it sits exactly one frame below the 60 FPS playable threshold, meaning any background process or transient load could tip it below smoothness.

At 1440p, the results are still strong but with a heavier penalty from Ultra. Low averages 90 FPS, Medium averages 71 FPS with a min of 60 and max of 81, and High averages 64 FPS. Ultra falls to 41 FPS, a 36% drop from High, which signals that the Ultra preset at this resolution is too demanding for the Arc B570's 10 GB GDDR6 and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Medium frame range of 60-81 FPS is notable because the 60 FPS minimum exactly touches the playable threshold.

At 4K, the system is not playable at any preset under the 60 FPS rule. Low averages 54 FPS, Medium averages 42 FPS (min 36, max 48), High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. The Medium min of 36 FPS shows how far the GPU is from sustaining smooth gameplay at this resolution. Even the Low preset, which would typically be the least demanding, misses the threshold by 6 FPS, indicating that the 4K mark is beyond this combination's comfort zone.

The Verdict

This PC can run Greedfall at 60 FPS at both 1080p and 1440p, but only at specific presets. At 3840x2160, the verdict is clear: no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold, with the best case being Low at 54 FPS average. The data indicates 4K is not viable for a smooth experience, and even the lowest settings leave a 6 FPS gap.

At 2560x1440, the system clears the threshold with three presets: High at 64 FPS, Medium at 71 FPS, and Low at 90 FPS. The best playable setting is High, as it offers the highest quality while still crossing 60 FPS. The Medium preset also works but its min FPS of 60 means some frames will hit the exact threshold, which is acceptable but not ideal.

At 1920x1080, the same three presets are playable: High at 92 FPS, Medium at 102 FPS, and Low at 130 FPS. The best playable setting is High, which provides strong headroom over the 60 FPS requirement. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 59 FPS average, just missing the threshold, so users who want maximum visual fidelity would need to accept a frame rate one below the standard.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B570 ranks at 2,979 out of 3,703 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in approximately the 80th percentile. That rank reflects the measured data from this specific game, and the position is influenced by the GPU's 65th percentile standing rather than the CPU's 77th percentile. The fact that the CPU outperforms the GPU in percentile terms confirms the earlier analysis: the Arc B570 is the limiting component. The system then falls in the lower-middle part of the ranking because Greedfall stretches the GPU harder than the CPU, and many tested combinations include more powerful GPUs that push higher frame rates at the same resolutions. The rank also shows that while this combo is far from the top of the database, it's also not near the bottom, meaning it sits comfortably in the playable range for most users who target 1080p or 1440p. The CPU's performance in synthetic benchmarks (like the 22,799 in Cinebench R23 multi-core) is strong, but Greedfall's GPU saturation means it can't leverage that extra CPU power to climb higher in the game-specific rankings.
