How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Intel Arc B570 combination sits at rank 2979 out of 3703 tested combos for Greedfall. This position places the system in the 20th percentile of tested configurations, meaning roughly four out of five tested combos perform better in this specific game. That ranking might sound low, but it reflects the demanding nature of 4K benchmarks in the database rather than a fundamental deficiency.

The measured FPS data reveals why the rank sits where it does. At 1920x1080, this combo delivers 92 FPS on High, 102 FPS on Medium, and 130 FPS on Low — all well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 2560x1440, High settings produce 64 FPS, Medium 71 FPS, and Low 90 FPS. The system only stumbles at 3840x2160, where even Low settings average just 54 FPS, failing the 60 FPS requirement.

The rank also reflects the GPU's position relative to other hardware. The Arc B570 holds a 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. The CPU sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs with an average score of 25517. When combined, these components deliver solid mid-range performance that handles 1080p and 1440p gaming comfortably but lacks the raw power for 4K.

The combo rank of 2979 includes many systems with higher-end GPUs that excel at 4K. This pairing instead targets the mainstream sweet spot — 1080p and 1440p gaming at high quality. The data shows the system is well-matched for those resolutions, with the GPU becoming the limiting factor only when pushed to 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Arc B570's nearest rivals in the benchmark database provide context for its performance level. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534 on average, a mere 0.1% below the Arc B570's 20556. These two GPUs effectively trade blows, meaning gamers could expect nearly identical frame rates in Greedfall from either card. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, just 0.1% higher, placing it in the same performance tier. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480, 0.4% lower) and AMD Radeon R9 M390X (20662, 0.5% higher) round out the nearby alternatives, though these are older workstation and mobile parts respectively.

On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700's nearest rivals show similar compute capability. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25530, just 0.1% below the Ryzen's 25517 average. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485, 0.1% higher, while the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550, 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U trails slightly at 25446, 0.3% behind. These sub-1% deltas mean any of these CPUs would deliver essentially identical performance in Greedfall when paired with the same GPU.

For gamers considering alternatives, swapping the Arc B570 for an RTX 3070 Mobile or Arc A750 would produce nearly identical results — the deltaPct values are all within half a percent. Similarly, choosing a Ryzen 5 7640U or 6600H instead of the Ryzen 7 5700 would not meaningfully change frame rates in this game. The performance envelope is tightly clustered across these components.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Greedfall? Yes, decisively — at 1080p and 1440p. The verdict data confirms playable settings exist at both resolutions, with High being the best quality preset that maintains 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers 92 FPS on High settings, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium runs at 102 FPS, and Low at 130 FPS. Ultra settings produce 59 FPS, just one frame short of playable. The verdict lists High, Low, and Medium as playable, with High as the best setting at 92 FPS.

At 2560x1440, High settings average 64 FPS, clearing the threshold with a small margin. Medium runs at 71 FPS, and Low at 90 FPS. Ultra drops to 41 FPS, which is not playable. The verdict confirms High as the best setting at 64 FPS.

At 3840x2160, no settings preset achieves 60 FPS. High produces 38 FPS, Medium 42 FPS, Low 54 FPS, and Ultra just 24 FPS. The verdict lists zero playable settings at this resolution. Gamers with 4K displays should drop to 1440p or lower resolution to enjoy smooth gameplay.

The practical takeaway: this combo is a 1080p and 1440p machine for Greedfall. Stick to High settings at those resolutions for the best balance of visual quality and frame rate.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data shows a clear pattern in how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Greedfall. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides strong multi-threaded performance — a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and a 3DMark 16-thread score of 6628. This headroom means the processor is unlikely to bottleneck the GPU at lower resolutions.

The scaling between resolutions reveals the GPU's dominant role. At High settings, FPS drops from 92 at 1080p to 64 at 1440p (a 30% reduction) and then to 38 at 4K (a further 41% reduction). This consistent decline with increasing resolution points directly at GPU load. The Arc B570's 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth become the limiting factors as pixel count rises.

At 1080p, the GPU has ample headroom, and the CPU's single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2916) becomes more relevant. The system achieves 92 FPS at High, and even Ultra reaches 59 FPS — just below the threshold. The CPU delivers enough throughput to keep the GPU fed at this resolution.

At 1440p, the balance shifts. High settings produce 64 FPS, and Ultra drops to 41 FPS. The GPU's compute resources are now the primary constraint, as evidenced by the steep falloff from High to Ultra. The CPU continues to provide adequate support, but frame rates are dictated by GPU rendering capacity.

At 4K, the GPU is fully saturated. Low settings produce only 54 FPS, and High drops to 38 FPS. The CPU's performance becomes irrelevant at this resolution — no amount of processor headroom can compensate for the Arc B570's limited pixel throughput. The 10 GB GDDR6 memory and 160-bit bus width further constrain performance at 4K.

Preset scaling reinforces this analysis. Across all resolutions, the gap between Low and Ultra is substantial: at 1080p, Low runs at 130 FPS versus 59 FPS on Ultra; at 1440p, 90 FPS versus 41 FPS; at 4K, 54 FPS versus 24 FPS. This consistent 50-60% performance drop from Low to Ultra indicates the GPU is the decisive factor in Greedfall.

Best Settings per Resolution

1920x1080: High settings deliver 92 FPS average, making it the best preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Medium runs at 102 FPS with a minimum of 87 FPS, while Low reaches 130 FPS. Ultra falls to 59 FPS, just below playable. High offers the optimal balance of visual quality and smooth performance.

2560x1440: High settings average 64 FPS, the most demanding preset to clear the 60 FPS threshold. Medium provides a safer margin at 71 FPS with a 60 FPS minimum, while Low runs at 90 FPS. Ultra drops to 41 FPS, unplayable. High is recommended for the best visuals without sacrificing smoothness.

3840x2160: No preset achieves 60 FPS. Low comes closest at 54 FPS, followed by Medium at 42 FPS, High at 38 FPS, and Ultra at 24 FPS. The system cannot deliver playable performance at 4K, so gamers should use 1440p or lower.

The measured data shows Medium settings at 1440p provide a more consistent frame rate (minimum 60 FPS) than High (no minimum recorded), making Medium the safer choice for gamers who prioritize frame stability. At 1080p, Medium's minimum of 87 FPS offers similar assurance, though High's 92 FPS average is still comfortable.
