Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a playable experience in Greedfall, but the ceiling varies sharply by resolution. At 1920x1080, this combo clears 60 FPS on every preset, including Ultra at 67 FPS. At 2560x1440, it remains smooth on High (73 FPS) and Medium (80 FPS), but Ultra drops to 46 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low settings reach the 60 FPS threshold, averaging 61 FPS, while Medium falls to 48 FPS and Ultra to 28 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is the benchmark's playable threshold. The data shows a clear pattern: lower resolutions unlock higher visual quality.

1920x1080: Ultra settings are fully playable, averaging 67 FPS. This is the highest preset available, and it clears the 60 FPS bar with 7 FPS to spare. The measured average suggests headroom for stable gameplay, though no min/max values were recorded for this preset.

2560x1440: High settings are the best choice, averaging 73 FPS. Medium runs faster at 80 FPS, but High provides superior visuals while still staying comfortably above the threshold. Ultra is not viable, averaging only 46 FPS.

3840x2160: Low settings are the only option that maintains 60 FPS, averaging exactly 61 FPS. Medium averages 48 FPS, High averages 43 FPS, and Ultra averages 28 FPS. The margin at Low is slim — just 1 FPS above the threshold — so any demanding scene could dip below 60.

CPU and GPU Roles

Benchmark results indicate that the GPU becomes the dominant constraint as resolution rises, while the CPU's role diminishes. The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals this shift clearly.

At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence because the GPU can produce frames quickly. The jump from Low (147 FPS) to Ultra (67 FPS) shows a 54% performance drop, indicating that the GPU is still heavily taxed by higher settings, but the CPU must feed enough frames to reach 147 FPS at Low. The Ryzen 5 7600X, with 6 cores and 12 threads, is not the bottleneck at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the GPU takes over as the primary limiter. Low averages 102 FPS, Medium 80 FPS, and High 73 FPS. The gap between Low and High is 28%, smaller than at 1080p. This compression suggests the GPU is working harder per frame, reducing the CPU's ability to influence the final output.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is almost entirely responsible for performance. Low averages 61 FPS, Medium 48 FPS, and High 43 FPS. The difference between Low and High is just 30%, and the absolute numbers are far below 1080p results. The CPU, even with a strong single-thread score of 4135 in Passmark, cannot compensate for the GPU's pixel-pushing workload at 4K.

The Intel Arc B580's memory bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s and 12 GB of GDDR6 VRAM are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K results show its limits. The architectural scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low — from 147 FPS to 61 FPS — represents a 59% reduction, which is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture across all three resolutions and four settings. Averages are the primary metric, with min/max values available only for Medium settings.

1920x1080:

• Low: 147 FPS average
• Medium: 115 FPS average, with min 98 and max 133 FPS
• High: 105 FPS average
• Ultra: 67 FPS average

The Medium preset shows a 35 FPS spread between min and max, indicating some frame-time variance but staying well above the playable threshold. The jump from High to Ultra is steep — a 36% drop — suggesting that Ultra's additional effects are costly.

2560x1440:

• Low: 102 FPS average
• Medium: 80 FPS average, with min 68 and max 92 FPS
• High: 73 FPS average
• Ultra: 46 FPS average

The Medium min of 68 FPS is still above 60, confirming playability. High's 73 FPS average leaves room for dips without crossing the threshold. Ultra falls 14 FPS short of the playable bar.

3840x2160:

• Low: 61 FPS average
• Medium: 48 FPS average, with min 41 and max 55 FPS
• High: 43 FPS average
• Ultra: 28 FPS average

At 4K, Medium's min of 41 FPS is far below playable. Even Low's 61 FPS average is precarious. The scaling from Medium to High is only 10%, while High to Ultra is a 35% drop, showing diminishing returns at the top end.

FAQ

*Q: Can this combo run Greedfall at 60 FPS on Ultra at 1920x1080?*

A: Yes. The measured average is 67 FPS at 1080p Ultra, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the recommended setting for 1080p.

Q: What is the best preset for 2560x1440?

A: High settings, averaging 73 FPS. Medium runs at 80 FPS and Low at 102 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality while staying above 60 FPS. Ultra is not playable, averaging 46 FPS.

Q: Is 4K playable with this hardware?

A: Only on Low settings, which average 61 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, with averages of 48, 43, and 28 FPS respectively. The margin at Low is minimal.

Q: How does the Arc B580 compare to its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score?

A: The Arc B580's average benchmark score is 23021. It is 0.2% behind the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (23061), 0.6% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (22895), and 0.7% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (23172). These deltas are all within 1%, indicating near-identical synthetic performance.

Q: What is the CPU's benchmark standing relative to its peers?

A: The Ryzen 5 7600X has an average benchmark score of 27636, placing it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. It is 0.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Core i5-12600K (both 27578), and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (27535). It is 0.3% behind the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE (27712).

Q: Does the Medium preset at 1440p have acceptable frame consistency?

A: The measured min is 68 FPS and max is 92 FPS, giving a 24 FPS spread. The min stays above 60, so the experience is smooth, but the variance is noticeable compared to the 35 FPS spread at 1080p Medium.

The Verdict

This PC can run Greedfall at 60 FPS, but the playable envelope shrinks as resolution increases. The verdict by resolution is clear:

1920x1080: Fully playable on all four presets. Ultra averages 67 FPS, High 105 FPS, Medium 115 FPS, and Low 147 FPS. Users can enable maximum settings without concern.

2560x1440: Playable on High, Medium, and Low, with averages of 73, 80, and 102 FPS respectively. Ultra is not playable at 46 FPS. High is the recommended balance of quality and performance.

3840x2160: Only Low settings clear the 60 FPS threshold, averaging 61 FPS. Medium (48 FPS), High (43 FPS), and Ultra (28 FPS) are all below playable. This resolution is only viable with significant visual compromises.

The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming. At 4K, the Arc B580's 13.67 TFLOPS and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for high-quality settings in this title. The Ryzen 5 7600X provides ample CPU headroom, as evidenced by the strong 1080p Low result of 147 FPS, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and Intel Arc B580 ranks 2787 out of 3703 tested combos for Greedfall. This places it in the 25th percentile of all configurations, meaning roughly three-quarters of tested setups deliver higher frame rates.

The ranking reflects the GPU's mid-tier positioning. The Arc B580 sits in the 68th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23021. Its nearest rivals — the RX 580 2048SP, RTX 2080, RTX 3080, and P106-100 — all score within 1% of it, confirming that this is a tightly contested performance band.

The CPU, by contrast, ranks in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, with an average score of 27636. This suggests the processor is not the weak link in this pairing. The 1080p Low result of 147 FPS supports this interpretation, as the CPU can clearly drive high frame rates when the GPU is not overloaded.

The rank of 2787 out of 3703 indicates that this combo is positioned for mainstream 1080p and entry-level 1440p gaming. It outperforms lower-tier combinations but falls behind those with higher-end GPUs, particularly at 4K where the Arc B580's limitations are most pronounced. For users targeting 1080p Ultra or 1440p High, this ranking is consistent with the measured FPS data. For 4K enthusiasts, the low rank reflects the GPU's inability to maintain playable frame rates beyond Low settings.
