CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and the Intel Arc B370 becomes clear when examining how frame rates scale across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system produces 76 FPS on Low settings, which is the highest recorded average for this combination. Dropping to Medium yields 60 FPS, while High sits at 54 FPS and Ultra at 35 FPS. The pattern suggests that at 1080p, the GPU is the dominant constraint: as settings increase, the rendering workload grows, and the Arc B370's limited throughput becomes the bottleneck.

At 2560x1440, the same trend continues but with a steeper falloff. Low settings produce 53 FPS, Medium 41 FPS, High 38 FPS, and Ultra 24 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 12 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 14 FPS. This indicates that the GPU's shading and texture capabilities degrade quickly when pixel count rises. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads from the Zen 3 architecture, is not the limiting factor here; the recorded 3DMark multi-threaded scores (7683 for 16 threads, 7680 for max threads) show ample headroom for a 2019 action RPG.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes even more dominant. Low settings average 31 FPS, Medium 25 FPS, High 22 FPS, and Ultra 14 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is severe: Low drops from 53 to 31 FPS, a reduction of 22 FPS. Medium drops from 41 to 25 FPS, a reduction of 16 FPS. High drops from 38 to 22 FPS, a reduction of 16 FPS. Ultra drops from 24 to 14 FPS, a reduction of 10 FPS. These numbers point to the Arc B370's pixel fill rate (48.00 GPixel/s) and texture rate (96.00 GTexel/s) being insufficient for 4K workloads in this title.

The CPU's role is best assessed by its synthetic benchmarks. The Ryzen 7 5800XT scores 23794 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3359 in single-core, with a PassMark multi-thread score of 28053. These figures place it well above the demands of Greedfall, which is a last-generation Action RPG. Even at 1080p Low, where the system achieves its peak FPS, the CPU is unlikely to be saturated. The data shows that resolution and preset changes produce consistent FPS shifts that track GPU workload, not CPU capability. The GPU is the limiting component at every resolution, and its influence grows as resolution increases.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT's nearest rivals in the database are four processors with nearly identical average scores. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H matches at 29868 with a 0% delta, meaning a user swapping to that chip would see essentially the same CPU-bound behavior. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, which is 0.3% higher than the 5800XT; this difference is negligible in real-world gaming. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, 0.6% lower, again a marginal gap. In Greedfall, any of these CPUs paired with the same GPU would produce nearly identical frame rates, since the game is not CPU-limited in this configuration.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B370's nearest rivals are much older parts, which highlights its position in the low-end segment. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, just 0.2% above the Arc B370's 1184. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower than the Arc B370. These deltas are all within 1.5%, so a system with any of these GPUs would deliver comparable FPS in Greedfall at the same settings. The Arc B370's 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms that it belongs to a performance tier where even decade-old discrete parts are direct competitors.

The practical implication is that the CPU is not a differentiator in this pairing. The Ryzen 7 5800XT outperforms its nearest rivals by such small margins that the choice among them would not alter Greedfall's playability. The GPU, however, sits at the very bottom of the database's GPU rankings, and its nearest rivals are all legacy hardware. Users coming from any of those GPUs would see no meaningful improvement when moving to the Arc B370.

The Verdict

The verdict data is unambiguous: this system can run Greedfall at 1920x1080 with playable performance, but it cannot reach the 60 FPS threshold at 2560x1440 or 3840x2160 under any preset. At 1080p, the playable settings are Low and Medium. Low averages 76 FPS, well above the playable threshold of 60 FPS. Medium averages exactly 60 FPS, meeting the threshold but with a recorded minimum of 51 FPS, meaning there will be occasional dips below 60. The best playable setting at 1080p is Medium, with an average of 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the verdict list of playable settings is empty. The closest result is Low at 53 FPS, which misses the threshold by 7 FPS. Medium averages 41 FPS, High 38 FPS, and Ultra 24 FPS. None of these presets provide a consistent 60 FPS experience. At 3840x2160, the situation is worse: Low averages 31 FPS, Medium 25 FPS, High 22 FPS, and Ultra 14 FPS. The system is not viable for 4K gaming in this title.

The practical conclusion is that the system is a 1080p machine for Greedfall. Users who prioritize a locked 60 FPS should run Medium settings, accepting that the minimum FPS can fall to 51. Users who want headroom above the threshold can drop to Low, where the average is 76 FPS and dips are less likely to cross below 60. For 1440p or 4K displays, the system falls short, and no settings adjustment can bridge the gap.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3416 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the bottom 8% of all system pairings recorded in the database. The rank reflects the GPU's severe limitations rather than the CPU's capabilities. The Ryzen 7 5800XT, with its 81st percentile CPU ranking and an average benchmark score of 29879, is a strong processor. The Arc B370, however, ranks in the 5th percentile among GPUs with an average score of 1184, and that low standing drags the entire combo down.

In context, the combo's rank means that the vast majority of tested systems deliver higher frame rates in Greedfall. The 287 combos ranked below this one would perform even worse, likely featuring GPUs that score below the Arc B370. The combo's position is consistent with its measured FPS data: it can handle 1080p Medium at exactly 60 FPS average, but it cannot sustain that performance at higher resolutions. The rank is a holistic measure that accounts for all resolutions and presets, and the 4K results in particular (14 to 31 FPS depending on settings) pull the overall standing down.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its best results. Low settings average 76 FPS with no recorded minimum or maximum values. Medium settings average 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 and a maximum of 69. High settings average 54 FPS, and Ultra settings average 35 FPS. The Medium preset is the only one at 1080p that includes full min/max data, indicating that the database recorded a full frame time distribution for that configuration.

At 2560x1440, performance drops across the board. Low settings average 53 FPS. Medium settings average 41 FPS, with a minimum of 35 and a maximum of 48. High settings average 38 FPS, and Ultra settings average 24 FPS. The Medium preset again has complete min/max data, showing a 13 FPS spread between its lowest and highest recorded frames.

At 3840x2160, the system is heavily constrained. Low settings average 31 FPS. Medium settings average 25 FPS, with a minimum of 21 and a maximum of 28. High settings average 22 FPS, and Ultra settings average 14 FPS. The Medium preset's min/max spread is 7 FPS, which is the narrowest of any recorded configuration, suggesting that the GPU is consistently saturated at 4K and frame times are stable but low.

The complete dataset shows a clear progression: every resolution step up reduces performance by a significant margin, and every preset step up within a resolution reduces performance by a consistent amount. The only preset with full min/max data at all three resolutions is Medium, which allows for direct comparison: at 1080p it averages 60 FPS (min 51, max 69), at 1440p it averages 41 FPS (min 35, max 48), and at 4K it averages 25 FPS (min 21, max 28).

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of exactly 60 FPS. This is the best playable configuration for this resolution. Low settings provide more headroom at 76 FPS, but Medium is the highest preset that clears the threshold. The recorded minimum of 51 FPS means that brief dips below 60 will occur, but the average meets the target.

At 2560x1440, no preset meets the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict data lists no playable settings for this resolution, so there is no recommended best setting. Users who must run at 1440p would have to choose between Low (53 FPS average) for the closest approximation to playability or accept the lower visual quality of Medium (41 FPS) if they prefer consistency. The database does not designate a best setting here because none qualifies.

At 3840x2160, the same applies. No preset reaches 60 FPS, and the best average is 31 FPS on Low. Medium averages 25 FPS, High 22 FPS, and Ultra 14 FPS. The verdict data marks this resolution as having no playable settings and no best setting. The system is not suitable for 4K gaming in Greedfall, and users should target 1080p Medium for the optimal balance of visual quality and performance.
