Greedfall

The database records Greedfall, an Action RPG released on September 9, 2019, running on an Intel Core i5-12400 paired with an Intel Arc B370. The measured results show that this combination can achieve 60 frames per second at 1080p on Medium settings, but falls short at higher resolutions. The CPU is a mid-range performer with a percentile of 72 among all tested CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 5th percentile, making the graphics card the clear bottleneck for this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i5-12400 has an average benchmark score of 18683 across all recorded tests. Its nearest rivals in the database are closely packed. The AMD EPYC 7643 scores 18697, which is 0.1% higher than the i5-12400. The Intel Core i7-1355U reaches 18730, a 0.3% advantage. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 scores 18811, putting it 0.7% ahead. On the other side, the Intel Core i3-14100F scores 18519, which is 0.9% behind the i5-12400. This grouping shows that the i5-12400 sits in a tight performance band where swapping to any of these alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in CPU-limited scenarios. The CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 5873 and its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15989 reinforce this mid-range standing. Its single-thread performance, measured at 910 in 3DMark single-thread and 3456 in PassMark single-thread, is also consistent with this tier.

The Intel Arc B370, however, is a different story. Its average benchmark score is just 1184, based on the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. Its nearest rivals are all older discrete and mobile parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, 0.2% ahead. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% ahead. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% ahead. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% behind the Arc B370. These deltas are all within a couple of percentage points, meaning the Arc B370 delivers performance equivalent to a decade-old entry-level graphics solution. The GPU's 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms that it is a very low-end part. In practice, any of these rivals would behave almost identically in Greedfall, with the CPU having ample headroom and the GPU being the limiting factor.

Best Settings per Resolution

The recorded data provides a clear picture of what settings are playable at each resolution, using the 60 FPS threshold as the playability standard.

At 3840x2160 (4K), no preset reaches 60 FPS. The best average frame rate is 31 FPS on Low settings. Medium produces 25 FPS, High produces 22 FPS, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. Therefore, there is no playable setting at 4K.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the situation is similar. The highest average is 53 FPS on Low, which still falls short of 60. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. No preset clears the 60 FPS bar, so 1440p is not playable with this combination.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the results improve significantly. Low settings average 76 FPS, Medium averages 60 FPS, High averages 54 FPS, and Ultra averages 35 FPS. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which delivers exactly 60 FPS on average. Low also clears the threshold with a comfortable margin, but Medium is the highest quality preset that remains playable. Thus, the best settings per resolution are: 1080p with Medium (60 FPS), while 1440p and 4K have no playable settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the GPU is overwhelmingly the dominant constraint in this pairing. The CPU's benchmark scores are strong for a desktop part: it ranks in the 72nd percentile, with a PassMark multithread score of 18747 and a Geekbench multicore score of 8564. The GPU, in contrast, ranks in the 5th percentile, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184. This disparity is reflected in the frame rate scaling across resolutions.

At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 76. Moving to 1440p Low, it drops to 53, a reduction of 23 FPS. Moving further to 4K Low, it falls to 31, another 22 FPS drop. This steep decline with increasing resolution is a classic sign of GPU-bound performance. The CPU's processing power is largely unchanged across these resolutions, yet the frame rate collapses, proving that the Arc B370 cannot keep up with the pixel throughput demanded by higher resolutions.

Within a single resolution, the same pattern appears. At 1080p, going from Low (76 FPS) to Medium (60 FPS) to High (54 FPS) to Ultra (35 FPS) shows a steady decline as the GPU works harder on shading and effects. The CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at all settings, as evidenced by its high multi-thread and single-thread scores. For example, the CPU's 3DMark 8-thread score of 4745 and its Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 6715 indicate it can handle the game's logic and physics without bottlenecking. The game is an Action RPG from 2019, not a heavily threaded simulation, so the 6-core, 12-thread i5-12400 is more than adequate. The recorded data shows that the GPU is the sole reason frame rates stay low at 1440p and 4K.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Greedfall? The answer depends on the resolution and settings. According to the verdict data, at 3840x2160 there are no playable settings, meaning no preset reaches 60 FPS. The best average is 31 FPS on Low, which is far below the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, the same conclusion applies: no playable settings exist, with the best average being 53 FPS on Low. At 1920x1080, however, the system does clear 60 FPS. The playable settings at 1080p are Low and Medium. The best playable setting is Medium, which achieves an average of exactly 60 FPS. So, the definitive answer is: this PC can run Greedfall at 1080p with Medium settings, but it cannot maintain 60 FPS at 1440p or 4K under any preset.
