Greedfall

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Greedfall with the Intel Core i5-14400F and Intel Arc B370 covers three resolutions and four preset levels. At 3840x2160, the results are consistently below playable thresholds. The High preset averages 22 FPS, Low averages 31 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS with a minimum of 21 FPS and a maximum of 28 FPS, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. No setting at this resolution reaches the 60 FPS playable line, and the spread between presets is narrow, indicating the GPU is heavily saturated.

At 2560x1440, performance improves but still falls short of the 60 FPS target. The High preset records an average of 38 FPS, Low reaches 53 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS with a minimum of 35 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS, and Ultra manages only 24 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 12 FPS, while the jump from Medium to Ultra is 17 FPS, showing diminishing returns at higher quality settings. The minimum frame data at Medium confirms that even the average is not stable enough for smooth gameplay.

At 1920x1080, the picture changes meaningfully. Low averages 76 FPS, Medium averages exactly 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS, High averages 54 FPS, and Ultra averages 35 FPS. The Medium preset is the only quality level that both meets the 60 FPS average and maintains a minimum above 50 FPS. High falls slightly below the target, while Ultra is well off the pace. The data shows a clear trend: Greedfall at this resolution is playable at Low and Medium, with Low offering a 16 FPS cushion over the playable threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 3416 out of 3703 tested combos for Greedfall. That puts it in the bottom portion of the ranking table, roughly in the 8th percentile of all tested pairings. The Intel Arc B370 itself sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database, which aligns with the low overall ranking. The CPU, by contrast, is much stronger: the Intel Core i5-14400F ranks at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. The imbalance is clear. The processor is not the limiting factor in this pairing; the graphics solution is.

The measured FPS data supports this interpretation. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo reaches 76 FPS, which is respectable, but at 3840x2160 Ultra it collapses to 14 FPS. That is a performance drop of 62 FPS across the resolution and settings spectrum. The combo rank reflects this ceiling: it is a pairing that can handle modest workloads but drops off sharply when demand increases. Compared to other tested combos in the database, this configuration is positioned for lower resolution and lower preset gaming, not for high-end output.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Greedfall at 1920x1080?

A: Yes, but only at Low and Medium presets. Low averages 76 FPS and Medium averages 60 FPS. High averages 54 FPS and Ultra averages 35 FPS, both below the 60 FPS target.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 2560x1440?

A: None. The highest average at this resolution is 53 FPS on Low, which is still below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS.

Q: How does the Intel Arc B370 compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Intel Arc B370 has an average benchmark score of 1184. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2% higher. 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.

Q: Does the CPU matter more than the GPU for this game?

A: The data indicates the GPU is the dominant constraint. The Intel Core i5-14400F ranks at the 83rd percentile among CPUs, while the Intel Arc B370 ranks at the 5th percentile among GPUs. The FPS drops sharply as resolution and settings increase, which points to graphics load, not processor load.

Q: What is the minimum FPS at 1920x1080 Medium?

A: The minimum recorded is 51 FPS, with an average of 60 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. This means the preset occasionally dips below the average but stays within a reasonable range.

Q: Is 3840x2160 playable at any setting?

A: No. The highest average at 3840x2160 is 31 FPS on Low. Medium averages 25 FPS, High averages 22 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. All are far below the 60 FPS threshold.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows that this configuration can run Greedfall at 1920x1080 with the Low and Medium presets clearing the 60 FPS line. Low averages 76 FPS, and Medium averages exactly 60 FPS. High at 54 FPS and Ultra at 35 FPS do not meet the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS; the closest is Low at 53 FPS. At 3840x2160, the best result is Low at 31 FPS, which is not playable by the database standard.

The verdict by resolution is therefore: playable at 1920x1080 only, with Medium as the best setting that maintains the 60 FPS average. For users targeting 1440p or 4K, this combo falls short. The database records no playable settings at 2560x1440 or 3840x2160.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U with an average score of 32233, which is 0.1% different from the i5-14400F's 32279. The Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32226, a 0.2% difference. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS scores 32354, which is 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32121, a 0.5% difference. Any of these processors would behave nearly identically in this pairing, meaning the GPU would still be the limiting factor.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B370's nearest rivals are all significantly older parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168. The delta percentages range from 0.2% to 1.4%, which means these GPUs would produce very similar frame rates in Greedfall. In practical terms, swapping the Arc B370 for any of these alternatives would not change the playability verdict at any resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best setting that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 60 FPS. Low also clears the threshold at 76 FPS, but Medium offers higher visual quality while still meeting the target. At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 53 FPS, which is 7 FPS short. At 3840x2160, no preset is viable; Low at 31 FPS is the highest average recorded.

The database lists the playable settings for 1920x1080 as Low and Medium, with Medium as the best setting at 60 FPS. For both higher resolutions, the playable settings list is empty, confirming that the GPU cannot sustain the required frame rate regardless of preset choice.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a strong processor, ranking at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs in the database. It has 10 cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The Intel Arc B370, by contrast, ranks at the 5th percentile among GPUs. This asymmetry defines the performance profile of the combo.

Looking at the scaling between resolutions, the FPS drops are steep. At Low settings, moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces the average from 76 FPS to 53 FPS, a 30% decrease. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 drops it from 53 FPS to 31 FPS, a 42% decrease. At Medium settings, the progression is 60 FPS at 1080p, 41 FPS at 1440p, and 25 FPS at 4K. These are large, consistent drops that track with pixel count, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario.

Preset scaling tells a similar story. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 41 FPS (76 to 35). At 2560x1440, the same spread is 29 FPS (53 to 24). At 3840x2160, it is 17 FPS (31 to 14). The shrinking spread at higher resolutions suggests the GPU is already saturated, so lowering quality settings yields less benefit. The CPU is not the bottleneck here; if it were, the FPS would remain more stable across resolutions, and the preset changes would have a larger relative impact.

The data indicates that for Greedfall, the GPU is the decisive component in this pairing. The CPU has ample headroom, as evidenced by its high percentile ranking, but the Arc B370's low percentile and the measured FPS behavior both point to graphics throughput as the constraint. At 1920x1080, the combo can produce playable frame rates on lower presets. At higher resolutions, the GPU cannot keep pace, and no amount of CPU headroom compensates for that shortfall.
