Greedfall

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT + Intel Arc B570 combination delivers its strongest performance, with the Low preset reaching an average of 130 FPS. The Medium preset averages 102 FPS, with a minimum of 87 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. High settings produce an average of 92 FPS, while Ultra drops to 59 FPS on average — just one frame shy of the 60 FPS playability threshold. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a clear progression: 130 → 102 → 92 → 59 FPS, representing a 54.6% drop from the least demanding to the most demanding preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance envelope tightens considerably. The Low preset averages 90 FPS, Medium averages 71 FPS (with a minimum of 60 and maximum of 81), and High averages 64 FPS. Ultra falls to 41 FPS, which is a significant step down from High. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 49 FPS, indicating that the preset choice has a larger impact at this resolution than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain playable framerates. Low settings average 54 FPS, Medium averages 42 FPS (with a minimum of 36 and maximum of 48), High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. None of these presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, and even the Low preset, which is the least demanding, falls 6 FPS short. The 4K data shows a steep drop-off — the gap between Low and Ultra is 30 FPS, and the Medium minimum of 36 FPS suggests noticeable frame-time inconsistency at higher resolutions.

The measured FPS data reveals that this hardware combination is most comfortable at 1080p and 1440p, where the medium-to-high presets maintain averages well above 60 FPS. At 4K, however, the GPU becomes a limiting factor, with all presets falling below the playability line.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2979 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the lower portion of the distribution — roughly the 19th percentile — meaning about 80% of tested hardware pairings outperform it in this specific title. The rank reflects the CPU's 81st percentile standing among all CPUs and the GPU's 65th percentile among all GPUs, but the game-specific result is what matters for actual gameplay.

The combo's ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU. The Arc B570's average benchmark score of 20556 places it at the 65th percentile of all GPUs, which is respectable in general-purpose workloads. However, in Greedfall, the measured FPS at 4K Ultra (24 FPS) and 1440p Ultra (41 FPS) indicate that the GPU's raw throughput translates unevenly into this game's rendering demands. The CPU, by contrast, posts strong synthetic scores — a Cinebench R23 multicore result of 23794 and a Passmark multithread score of 28053 — suggesting that the processor is not the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions.

The rank of 2979 out of 3703 is a data point that should be interpreted with care. It does not mean the combo is unplayable; it means that within the database's tested set, many other combinations deliver higher average FPS in Greedfall. The measured FPS at 1080p High (92 FPS) and 1440p High (64 FPS) are playable, so the low rank is driven primarily by the 4K results and the Ultra preset failures at all resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 92 FPS. Ultra averages 59 FPS, so it falls just below the threshold. The data indicates that High is the optimal choice for 1080p — it maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while offering better visual quality than Medium (which averages 102 FPS) or Low (130 FPS).

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is also High, averaging 64 FPS. Medium averages 71 FPS and Low averages 90 FPS, but High provides the highest visual fidelity that still clears the 60 FPS line. Ultra at 1440p averages 41 FPS, which is 19 FPS below the threshold, so it is not recommended for sustained playability.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS. The closest is Low with an average of 54 FPS, followed by Medium at 42 FPS, High at 38 FPS, and Ultra at 24 FPS. The verdict data confirms that 4K has no playable settings for this combo. Users who want to run Greedfall at 4K would need to accept framerates well below the playability threshold, or reduce resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, are the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (29868, 0% delta), AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (29955, -0.3% delta), AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS (29955, -0.3% delta), and AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (29713, 0.6% delta). These processors would produce nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Greedfall. The 5800XT's average score of 29879 is within 0.6% of all four rivals, so swapping to any of these would not meaningfully change the measured FPS at resolutions where the CPU is the limiting factor.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B570's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20534, 0.1% delta), Intel Arc A750 (20582, -0.1% delta), NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480, 0.4% delta), and AMD Radeon R9 M390X (20662, -0.5% delta). The Arc B570's average score of 20556 sits within 0.5% of these cards. In practical terms, a system with the Arc A750 or RTX 3070 Mobile would deliver nearly identical FPS in Greedfall at the same CPU pairing. The Quadro M4000M and R9 M390X are older designs, but their benchmark scores suggest they would behave comparably in this title, albeit with different driver characteristics.

It is important to note that these rival comparisons are based on aggregate benchmark scores, not direct Greedfall measurements. The deltaPct values are all within 0.6%, so the differences in real-world FPS would be minimal — likely within the margin of error for game-specific testing.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the GPU is the dominant factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU plays a more significant role at 1080p. At 1920x1080, the FPS drop from Low (130) to Ultra (59) is 71 FPS, which suggests that the GPU is being pushed harder as settings increase, but the CPU still has headroom to feed frames. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's strong multithreaded scores — Cinebench R20 multicore of 9993 and Passmark multithread of 28053 — indicate that it can handle the game's CPU load at this resolution without bottlenecking.

At 2560x1440, the FPS drop from Low (90) to Ultra (41) is 49 FPS, which is a smaller absolute delta than at 1080p. This indicates that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor — the CPU is capable of delivering frames, but the GPU cannot keep up as the resolution increases. The Medium preset's minimum of 60 FPS at 1440p, compared to the 87 FPS minimum at 1080p, further confirms that the GPU's rendering capacity is the constraint.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. The FPS drop from Low (54) to Ultra (24) is 30 FPS, and even the Low preset cannot reach 60 FPS. The Arc B570's 10 GB GDDR6 memory with 380.0 GB/s bandwidth and 160-bit bus width is likely insufficient for 4K rendering in this title, regardless of the CPU's capability. The CPU's scores remain strong, but they are irrelevant when the GPU is unable to produce playable framerates.

The scaling between presets and resolutions shows that the CPU's role diminishes as resolution rises. At 1080p, the CPU can push the GPU to its limits at lower presets, but at 4K, the GPU's raw throughput caps performance. This is consistent with the combo's overall rank — the CPU is a high-percentile part, but the GPU's mid-range standing limits high-resolution performance.

The Verdict

This PC can run Greedfall playably at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 92 FPS on average, and even Ultra averages 59 FPS — just below the threshold but close enough that minor tweaks could push it over. At 1440p, High averages 64 FPS, making it the highest-quality playable setting; Medium and Low are also playable with averages of 71 and 90 FPS respectively. At 4K, no preset reaches 60 FPS, with the best option (Low) averaging 54 FPS.

The verdict data confirms: 1920x1080 has playable settings of High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best at 92 FPS. 2560x1440 has playable settings of High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best at 64 FPS. 3840x2160 has no playable settings. For users targeting 1080p or 1440p, this combo is a capable choice. For 4K, it falls short of the playability bar, and users would need to accept lower framerates or reduce resolution.
