Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Greedfall, but it falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K. The data shows a clear performance ceiling at the highest resolution, while lower resolutions reveal a capable pairing that handles the 2019 Action RPG with room to spare. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across all settings and resolutions, compares the combo against similar hardware, and explains which component carries the workload.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X sits in a tightly packed performance tier. Its average benchmark score of 27,636 places it just 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and the Intel Core i5-12600K, both of which score 27,578. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE comes in slightly higher at 27,712, a 0.3% delta, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 trails by 0.4% at 27,535. This clustering means that swapping any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Greedfall, assuming the GPU remains unchanged. The 7600X's 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 architecture provides ample headroom for this game, which rarely stresses modern processors to their limits.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570's average benchmark score of 20,556 places it within 0.1% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20,534) and the Intel Arc A750 (20,582, a -0.1% delta). The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20,480 (0.4% delta) and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20,662 (-0.5% delta). These four rivals form a tight band around the B570's performance. In practical terms, a system using any of these GPUs with the same CPU would deliver nearly indistinguishable results in Greedfall. The Arc A750 is particularly noteworthy since it shares Intel's architecture lineage, suggesting similar driver behavior and scaling patterns.

The percentile data reinforces this picture. The 7600X sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, while the B570 lands at the 65th percentile among GPUs. This gap matters: the CPU is a stronger component relative to its peers than the GPU is. In a game like Greedfall, where the measured FPS scales heavily with resolution, this suggests the GPU will be the limiting factor at higher settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals a clear division of labor. At 1920x1080, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU effectively. The Low preset hits 130 FPS, Medium drops to 102 FPS, High reaches 92 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 59 FPS. The 71 FPS spread between Low and Ultra shows that the GPU is doing most of the work as settings increase. The CPU's single-thread performance, reflected in its 3DMark single-thread score of 1,060, is more than sufficient for this title at 1080p.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. Low delivers 90 FPS, Medium 71 FPS, High 64 FPS, and Ultra falls to 41 FPS. The drop from Low to High is 26 FPS, while at 1080p that same gap was 38 FPS. This narrowing indicates that at higher resolutions, the GPU's pixel throughput becomes the bottleneck. The B570's 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are being pushed harder at 1440p, and the scaling reflects that pressure.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly overwhelmed. Low yields 54 FPS, Medium 42 FPS, High 38 FPS, and Ultra just 24 FPS. No setting reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The 30 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K, compared to the 71 FPS difference at 1080p, shows that the GPU has exhausted its reserves. The CPU's role at 4K is largely irrelevant — even the most powerful processor cannot help when the GPU is rendering four times the pixels of 1080p.

The Medium preset provides min/max data that illustrates stability. At 1080p Medium, the range is 87 to 117 FPS, a 30 FPS swing. At 1440p Medium, it narrows to 60 to 81 FPS, a 21 FPS swing. At 4K Medium, it widens again to 36 to 48 FPS, a 12 FPS swing. The relative stability at 4K suggests the GPU is consistently maxed out, while at lower resolutions, CPU-driven frame time variations produce larger swings.

The Verdict

The verdict is clear: this PC runs Greedfall smoothly at 1080p and 1440p, but not at 4K. At 1920x1080, the High preset averages 92 FPS, well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Medium preset hits 102 FPS and Low reaches 130 FPS. The Ultra preset misses the threshold at 59 FPS, so High is the optimal choice at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, High averages 64 FPS, clearing the threshold by a slim margin. Medium (71 FPS) and Low (90 FPS) also qualify as playable. Ultra drops to 41 FPS, making High the best visual preset that maintains 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves playable status. The best result is Low at 54 FPS, followed by Medium at 42, High at 38, and Ultra at 24. Users targeting 4K would need to lower resolution or upgrade the GPU.

The verdict data confirms this: the 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 entries list High as the best settings with 92 and 64 FPS respectively, while the 3840x2160 entry has no playable settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, averaging 92 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the threshold while delivering strong visual quality. The next step down, Medium, runs at 102 FPS, and Low at 130 FPS, but High offers the best balance of visuals and performance.

At 2560x1440, High is again the best choice, averaging 64 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by only 4 FPS, so users may see occasional dips in demanding scenes. Medium (71 FPS) provides more headroom if frame rate stability is a priority, but High remains the highest-quality playable option.

At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. The closest option is Low at 54 FPS, which falls 6 FPS short of the threshold. Users at this resolution must accept sub-60 FPS performance or reduce the resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X + Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2,979th out of 3,703 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the 20th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 80% of tested combinations perform better. The 724 combos ranked below this pairing are likely using older or lower-tier hardware.

This ranking reflects the GPU's 65th percentile position among all GPUs. The B570 is a mid-range card that struggles with 4K gaming, which drags the overall ranking down. However, the CPU's 79th percentile ranking shows that the processor is not the weak link — a stronger GPU would likely push this combo significantly higher in the rankings.

The nearest rival GPUs, particularly the Intel Arc A750 with its 0.1% performance delta, would produce nearly identical rankings. Users considering this combo should focus on the GPU's capabilities at their target resolution rather than the overall ranking, since the CPU has ample headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the data shows a steep performance cliff. Low averages 54 FPS, Medium averages 42 FPS with a range of 36 to 48 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. The 30 FPS gap between Low and Ultra demonstrates the GPU's inability to handle high pixel counts with demanding settings.

At 2560x1440, the picture improves substantially. Low averages 90 FPS, Medium averages 71 FPS with a range of 60 to 81 FPS, High averages 64 FPS, and Ultra averages 41 FPS. The 49 FPS spread between Low and Ultra shows the GPU has more headroom at this resolution, though Ultra still falls below the playable threshold.

At 1920x1080, the combo performs at its best. Low averages 130 FPS, Medium averages 102 FPS with a range of 87 to 117 FPS, High averages 92 FPS, and Ultra averages 59 FPS. The 71 FPS spread between Low and Ultra indicates the GPU scales well with settings at this resolution, only failing to hit 60 FPS at the highest preset.

The min/max data at Medium settings across resolutions reveals performance consistency. At 1080p, the 87 to 117 FPS range shows a 30 FPS fluctuation. At 1440p, the 60 to 81 FPS range narrows to 21 FPS. At 4K, the 36 to 48 FPS range tightens to 12 FPS. This trend suggests that as the GPU becomes more saturated, frame times become more consistent, even though average FPS drops.
