Greedfall

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Intel Arc B580 form a combination that lands in the 76.7th percentile of all tested system pairings in Greedfall, ranking 2840 out of 3703 combos in the database. This places the pairing in the lower-middle tier of tested configurations, meaning it delivers playable frame rates at most settings, but it will not dominate the game at maximum quality on high-resolution displays.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this pairing each have nearby competitors that would produce nearly identical behavior in Greedfall. For the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, the closest measured alternatives are the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 and the AMD EPYC 4244P, both sitting within 0.1 percent of the Ryzen 7 3700X's average benchmark score. The Intel Core Ultra 7 165H trails by 0.5 percent, while the Intel Core i5-13450HX leads by 0.2 percent. In practical terms, swapping the Ryzen 7 3700X for any of these four processors would yield a nearly indistinguishable experience in Greedfall, as the frame rate differences would fall well below one percent.

On the graphics side, the Intel Arc B580's nearest rivals are a mixed group. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 0.2 percent higher on average, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 sits 0.6 percent lower, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is 0.7 percent higher, and the NVIDIA P106-100 leads by 1 percent. These deltas are small enough that the choice among them would not change the playable settings at any resolution in Greedfall. The Arc B580's average benchmark score of 23021 places it alongside these cards, and the recorded data shows it holds its own in this game despite the wide range of architectures represented among these rivals.

The Ryzen 7 3700X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, delivers a passmark multithread score of 22458 and a single-thread score of 2656. The Arc B580, built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, achieves a passmark g3d score of 15748. Neither component is a top-tier performer in the database, which is why the combined rank lands near the middle of the tested field.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination at 2840 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. That places it in the 76.7th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning roughly 76.7 percent of tested system pairings outperform it in this game. The rank reflects the balanced but mid-range nature of both components: the Ryzen 7 3700X sits at the 84th percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the Arc B580 sits at the 68th percentile among all GPUs.

This rank means the combo is fully capable of running Greedfall at acceptable frame rates, but it will not be a showcase system. The measured frame rates confirm this: at 1080p, the system clears 60 FPS on every preset, and at 1440p it clears 60 FPS on Low, Medium, and High. Only at 4K does the system struggle, with just the Low preset staying above the 60 FPS threshold. The overall rank of 2840 suggests that many combinations with stronger GPUs or newer CPUs would push higher frame rates at 4K Ultra, but for the majority of playable scenarios, this pair is adequate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data provides average frame rates for each resolution and preset combination, with no minimum or maximum values recorded for any configuration.

At 1920x1080, the system performs best. The Low preset delivers 143.2 FPS on average, which is the highest frame rate recorded across all tests. Medium reaches 114.8 FPS, High hits 102.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 65.5 FPS. Every preset at this resolution stays well above the 60 FPS playability threshold, with Ultra being the only setting that approaches it closely.

At 2560x1440, frame rates remain solid but start to show the GPU's limits. Low averages 102 FPS, Medium reaches 77.7 FPS, High hits 74.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 44.6 FPS. The three lower presets all clear 60 FPS, while Ultra does not. The gap between High and Ultra is substantial, a drop of 30 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset's added effects are particularly demanding on this GPU at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles. Low averages 61.3 FPS, which just clears the 60 FPS threshold. Medium drops to 45.9 FPS, High falls to 43.4 FPS, and Ultra averages only 27.9 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium at 4K is a 15.4 FPS drop, and the difference between Medium and High is a smaller 2.5 FPS drop, suggesting that the Medium to High transition is less costly than the Low to Medium transition at this resolution.

The scaling across resolutions shows a clear pattern. At High settings, the system moves from 102.1 FPS at 1080p to 74.6 FPS at 1440p, a 27.5 FPS drop, and then to 43.4 FPS at 4K, another 31.2 FPS drop. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 41.2 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is 40.7 FPS. This consistent scaling indicates the GPU is the primary limiting factor as resolution increases.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the Intel Arc B580 is the dominant factor in determining Greedfall's performance, especially as resolution increases. The CPU, while competent, is not the bottleneck in this game. The Ryzen 7 3700X's passmark multithread score of 22458 and single-thread score of 2656 are sufficient to feed the GPU at all tested settings, as evidenced by the consistent frame rate scaling across presets at each resolution.

At 1080p, the system shows a wide spread between Low at 143.2 FPS and Ultra at 65.5 FPS, a 77.7 FPS difference. This large gap indicates the GPU is heavily taxed by the higher presets, while the CPU has headroom. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rates at Low and Ultra would be closer together, as both would be capped by the processor's ability to issue draw calls.

At 1440p, the spread narrows slightly, from Low at 102 FPS to Ultra at 44.6 FPS, a 57.4 FPS difference. The absolute values drop across all presets, confirming the GPU is the primary constraint. At 4K, the spread narrows further, from Low at 61.3 FPS to Ultra at 27.9 FPS, a 33.4 FPS difference. The convergence of frame rates at higher resolutions is a classic sign of GPU saturation, where the rendering load grows faster than the CPU's ability to keep up with the GPU's output.

The CPU's role is more visible at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 143.2 FPS, which is high enough that the CPU's single-thread performance could start to matter if the frame rate were pushed higher. However, the Ryzen 7 3700X's 3.60 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost clocks, combined with its 16 threads, provide enough headroom that the GPU remains the limiting factor even at this setting. The recorded data does not show any configuration where the CPU clearly caps performance, so the GPU's capabilities define the playable envelope.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, as it delivers 65.5 FPS on average, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. This is the most demanding preset available, and the system handles it at this resolution. Lower presets offer higher frame rates, with Medium at 114.8 FPS, High at 102.1 FPS, and Low at 143.2 FPS, but Ultra provides the best visual quality while staying playable.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the most demanding option that stays at or above 60 FPS, with an average of 74.6 FPS. Medium reaches 77.7 FPS and Low reaches 102 FPS, but High offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. The Ultra preset at this resolution averages 44.6 FPS, which falls short of the 60 FPS target.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, with an average of 61.3 FPS. Medium drops to 45.9 FPS, High to 43.4 FPS, and Ultra to 27.9 FPS. For 4K play, users must accept the Low preset to maintain smooth frame rates, or reduce the resolution to gain access to higher quality settings.

The Verdict

This PC can run Greedfall, but the experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on every preset, including Ultra at 65.5 FPS, making it fully playable at maximum quality. At 2560x1440, the system clears 60 FPS on Low, Medium, and High, with High at 74.6 FPS being the best visual setting that remains playable. At 3840x2160, only the Low preset clears 60 FPS, with an average of 61.3 FPS, while all other presets fall below the threshold.

The verdict from the database confirms this: at 1080p, the playable settings are High, Low, Medium, and Ultra; at 1440p, they are High, Low, and Medium; at 4K, only Low is playable. The system is therefore a solid 1080p and 1440p performer, but 4K gaming requires significant compromises in visual quality. For users targeting 60 FPS, the best experience is at 1080p Ultra or 1440p High, while 4K should be reserved for the Low preset or avoided entirely in favor of lower resolutions.
