Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the Intel Arc B390 is a low-end configuration for Greedfall. According to the database, this combo ranks 3291st out of 3703 tested, placing it in the bottom 11% of all recorded systems. The game is playable at 1080p with High settings at exactly 60 FPS average, but 1440p and 4K fall short of the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The recorded data places this combination at rank 3291 out of 3703 tested combos. That means it outperforms 412 other configurations and is worse than 3290. In percentage terms, only 11.1% of all tested combos are below it, making this a decidedly low-performing setup for Greedfall.

The CPU and GPU have very different standing in the broader benchmark pool. The i5-10400F sits in the 68th percentile of all CPUs, a respectable position for a six-core, twelve-thread part. Its average benchmark score is 14185. In contrast, the Arc B390 GPU is in the 9th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of just 1482 from the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. This massive gap between the two components explains why the overall combo rank is so low: the GPU is a severe bottleneck.

The measured frame rates reinforce this. At 1080p, the system can hit 60 FPS on High, but that is the ceiling. At 1440p and 4K, even Low settings fail to reach 60 FPS. The combination of a mid-range CPU and a very weak integrated GPU yields a system that is only viable at the lowest resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the GPU is the dominant limiting factor in Greedfall. Consider the scaling across resolutions at High settings: 1920x1080 averages 60 FPS, 2560x1440 drops to 42 FPS (a 30% reduction), and 3840x2160 falls to 25 FPS (a 58% reduction from 1080p). At Low settings, the pattern is similar: 84 FPS at 1080p, 58 FPS at 1440p, and 35 FPS at 4K. This steep decline with resolution indicates that the GPU's rendering capabilities, not the CPU, are the primary constraint.

The CPU's role is relatively minor. The i5-10400F has a 68th percentile ranking and strong synthetic scores, such as 10283 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 1451 in single-core. These numbers suggest the CPU has ample headroom for a 2019 action RPG like Greedfall. The GPU, on the other hand, is an integrated part (IGP) with system-shared memory and only 1536 shading units. Its 9th percentile ranking places it among the weakest GPUs in the database.

Preset scaling also highlights GPU dominance. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra drops the average from 84 FPS to 38 FPS, a 55% reduction. The GPU is clearly the component that determines playability. The CPU's performance remains consistent across these settings, as evidenced by the fact that the system can reach 84 FPS at Low, which is far above the 60 FPS threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are all within a narrow band. The Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, which is 0.2% below the i5-10400F. The Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, 0.3% above. The AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, 0.5% below, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, 0.6% above. Any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Greedfall.

For the GPU, the Arc B390's closest competitors are all legacy NVIDIA parts. The GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, which is 1.3% lower than the Arc B390's 1482. The GeForce 800M scores 1460 (1.5% lower), the GT 625 OEM scores 1446 (2.5% lower), and the GT 710 scores 1443 (2.7% lower). Swapping the Arc B390 for any of these would result in frame rates within a few percentage points in GPU-bound scenarios.

Given the GPU's dominant role, the practical takeaway is that the system's performance is almost entirely dictated by the Arc B390. A user with the i5-10400F and any of these rival GPUs would see nearly identical results in Greedfall.

The Verdict

The verdict is clear: this PC can run Greedfall, but only at 1920x1080. At that resolution, the database lists three playable presets: Low (84 FPS average), Medium (66 FPS average), and High (60 FPS average). High is the most demanding preset that still clears the 60 FPS threshold, with an exact average of 60 FPS. Ultra falls to 38 FPS, which is unplayable by the 60 FPS standard.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The best average is 58 FPS at Low, just short of the threshold. Medium averages 46 FPS, High 42, and Ultra 27. At 3840x2160, the situation is worse: Low averages 35 FPS, Medium 27, High 25, and Ultra 16. The system is not suitable for 1440p or 4K gaming in Greedfall.
