Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a highly playable experience in Greedfall at 1080p and 1440p, with 4K limited to lower presets. This pairing places the Ryzen 5 7500F in the upper tier of processors, while the Arc B580 sits solidly in the mid-range GPU segment, creating a balanced system for this Action RPG.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 5 7500F’s average benchmark score of 24,964 places it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs, with its nearest rivals all within a fraction of a percent. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24,935 (0.1% behind), while the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25,005 (0.2% ahead). The Intel Core i7-13620H trails by 0.2% with 24,911, and the Intel Core 5 210H is 0.4% behind at 24,872. These differences are negligible in real-world gaming, meaning any of these four processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Greedfall when paired with the same GPU.

On the graphics side, the Intel Arc B580’s average score of 23,021 puts it in the 68th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP, scores 23,061 (0.2% ahead), while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22,895 (0.6% behind). Notably, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23,172 (0.7% ahead), and the NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23,249 (1% ahead). The Arc B580 thus performs almost identically to a previous-generation flagship RTX 2080, and within 1% of an RTX 3080 in aggregate benchmarks. For Greedfall specifically, users upgrading from any of these GPUs would see essentially the same performance at equivalent settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Arc B580 delivers 147 FPS on Low settings, dropping to 105 FPS on High — a 29% reduction from the graphics load. Moving to 2560x1440, the same preset transition yields 102 FPS on Low versus 73 FPS on High, a 28% drop. At 3840x2160, Low settings produce 61 FPS while High settings fall to 43 FPS, a 30% decrease. This consistent scaling across resolutions indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck; the Ryzen 5 7500F’s single-thread score of 974 in 3DMark and multi-thread score of 6,379 provide ample headroom for the CPU’s role in this 2019 title.

Resolution scaling itself tells a similar story. At High settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces average FPS from 105 to 73 (a 30% drop), and from 1440p to 4K reduces it further to 43 (a 41% drop). The CPU’s performance ceiling is not reached here; the Ryzen 5 7500F’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,799 and single-core score of 3,218 indicate strong per-thread performance that would keep up with the GPU’s output. The 12-thread configuration (6 cores) matches the demands of Greedfall’s Action RPG gameplay, which typically scales well with fewer, faster cores rather than many slower ones.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Arc B580 delivers its strongest results. Low settings average 147 FPS, Medium averages 115 FPS with a minimum of 98 and maximum of 133, High averages 105 FPS, and Ultra averages 67 FPS. All presets comfortably exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold, with even the most demanding Ultra preset maintaining a 67 FPS average.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, performance remains robust but requires more careful preset selection. Low settings average 102 FPS, Medium averages 80 FPS (minimum 68, maximum 92), and High averages 73 FPS. Ultra drops to 46 FPS, falling below the playable threshold. The gap between High (73 FPS) and Ultra (46 FPS) represents a 37% performance cost for the higher preset.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings maintain 60 FPS, averaging exactly 61 FPS. Medium averages 48 FPS (minimum 41, maximum 55), High averages 43 FPS, and Ultra drops to 28 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 28 FPS is less than half the 1080p Ultra result of 67 FPS, illustrating the GPU’s diminishing capability as pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Greedfall at 60 FPS on High settings at 1440p?

How This Combo Ranks

Among 3,703 tested combinations in Greedfall, this CPU-GPU pairing ranks 2,787th, placing it in the 25th percentile of all tested systems. This rank reflects the mid-range positioning of both components: the Ryzen 5 7500F sits in the 77th percentile of CPUs, while the Arc B580 sits in the 68th percentile of GPUs. The combination’s rank is lower than either component’s individual percentile, suggesting that Greedfall’s performance is more sensitive to GPU capability than CPU strength. The Arc B580’s 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth provides sufficient memory for 1440p gaming, but the 4K Ultra result of 28 FPS indicates the GPU’s raw compute (13.67 TFLOPS FP32) becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, Ultra is the best playable preset, averaging 67 FPS. This provides a 7 FPS margin above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the optimal choice for maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, High is the best playable preset, averaging 73 FPS. This offers a 13 FPS buffer, and while Ultra drops to 46 FPS, High maintains a comfortable margin for demanding scenes.

At 3840x2160, Low is the only playable preset, averaging exactly 61 FPS. This 1 FPS margin above the threshold is tight, but the data shows it clears the playable bar. Medium at 48 FPS and High at 43 FPS both fall short, while Ultra at 28 FPS is not viable.

The Verdict

This PC can run Greedfall, but the experience varies significantly by resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets — Low (147 FPS), Medium (115 FPS), High (105 FPS), and Ultra (67 FPS) — clear the 60 FPS threshold, making this an excellent 1080p machine for the game. At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: Low (102 FPS), Medium (80 FPS), and High (73 FPS), while Ultra falls below at 46 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low achieves playability with 61 FPS, while Medium (48 FPS), High (43 FPS), and Ultra (28 FPS) all fail to reach 60 FPS. The verdict is clear: this combination excels at 1080p and 1440p with high visual settings, but 4K users must accept Low settings for smooth gameplay. The Ryzen 5 7500F’s strong single-thread performance (3,218 in Cinebench R23) ensures the CPU never becomes the bottleneck, while the Arc B580’s mid-range GPU performance defines the system’s limits at higher resolutions.
