Greedfall

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Greedfall with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and Intel Arc B370 shows a steep performance curve as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the combination delivers playable frame rates at Low and Medium settings, but the margin narrows quickly when moving to higher resolutions or more demanding presets.

At 3840x2160, the measured averages sit well below the 60 FPS threshold across every preset. High settings produce an average of 22 FPS, while Low settings reach 31 FPS. Medium settings average 25 FPS with a minimum of 21 FPS and a maximum of 28 FPS. Ultra settings drop to an average of 14 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 17 FPS, which indicates that the graphics workload at 4K overwhelms the Intel Arc B370 regardless of how much the preset is reduced.

At 2560x1440, the results improve but remain below the playable threshold. Low settings average 53 FPS, which is close to 60 FPS but not enough to clear it. High settings average 38 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS with a minimum of 35 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 29 FPS, showing that preset choice matters considerably at this resolution. Even the best case, Low at 53 FPS, falls short of the 60 FPS benchmark.

At 1920x1080, the combination finally reaches playable territory. Low settings average 76 FPS, Medium settings average 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. High settings average 54 FPS, which is just under the threshold, and Ultra drops to 35 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 41 FPS, the widest margin of any resolution tested. Medium at 1080p is the only preset that both clears the 60 FPS average and remains visually demanding enough to be considered the best balance, though its minimum of 51 FPS suggests occasional dips below the target.

The data reveals a consistent pattern: the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting factor as resolution scales upward. The CPU's performance headroom does not translate into higher frame rates once the GPU becomes saturated, which happens early at 4K and even at 1440p.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Greedfall at 60 FPS on a 4K display?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the highest average recorded is 31 FPS on Low settings. Medium averages 25 FPS, High averages 22 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. None of the presets come close to the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the best preset at 1920x1080 for this hardware?

A: Medium settings deliver an average of 60 FPS, making it the most demanding preset that stays at or above the playable threshold. Low settings average 76 FPS, but Medium provides higher visual quality while still hitting the target.

Q: Is 1440p playable at any setting?

A: No. The closest result is Low settings at 2560x1440, which averages 53 FPS. That is 7 FPS 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. Its nearest rival, 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: Why does the system fail at 1440p but succeed at 1080p?

A: The jump from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 increases the pixel count substantially, and the Intel Arc B370 does not have enough rendering throughput to maintain 60 FPS at that resolution. At 1080p Medium, the average is 60 FPS. At 1440p Low, the average drops to 53 FPS despite the lower preset, showing that resolution scaling hurts more than preset scaling helps.

Q: What does the combo rank say about this hardware pairing?

A: The combination ranks 3416 out of 3703 tested combos for Greedfall, placing it in the lower portion of the database. That ranking reflects the GPU's limited performance, as the CPU itself sits in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs. The GPU, by contrast, sits in the 5th percentile among all GPUs.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The highest average is 31 FPS on Low settings, which is the best case but still far below playable. Medium averages 25 FPS, High averages 22 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. The verdict data confirms that no playable settings exist at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS either. Low settings average 53 FPS, which is the closest result. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. The verdict data lists no playable settings at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, Medium settings are the best choice that maintains 60 FPS, averaging exactly 60 FPS. Low settings average 76 FPS and are also playable, but Medium offers higher visual fidelity while still meeting the threshold. High settings average 54 FPS and Ultra averages 35 FPS, so both fall short. The verdict data lists Low and Medium as playable, with Medium as the best setting at 60 FPS average.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 sits close to several other CPUs in the database. The AMD EPYC 4464P has an average score of 64823, which is 0.3% higher than the Ultra 7 265's 64640 average. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F scores 64438, 0.3% lower. The AMD EPYC 7343 scores 64202, 0.7% lower, and the AMD EPYC 9124 scores 65104, 0.7% higher. These deltas are all within roughly one percentage point, meaning any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Greedfall. The 265F is especially relevant, as it is the same chip without integrated graphics, and the performance difference is negligible.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B370 is in a much tighter and older performance class. 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, and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4% lower. These are all legacy mobile and desktop parts from over a decade ago, which illustrates just how limited the Arc B370 is. In practical terms, swapping the Arc B370 for any of these rivals would produce nearly identical frame rates in Greedfall, since the scores are within 1.4% of each other.

The implication is clear: if a user were to pair the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 with a different GPU from this performance tier, the measured FPS would remain essentially unchanged. The CPU is not the bottleneck in any of the recorded scenarios. The GPU tier is the determining factor, and it is a very low tier.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 3416 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. That places it in the bottom 8% of the database. The ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU, which has a percentile score of 5 among all GPUs. In contrast, the CPU has a percentile score of 93 among all CPUs. This is an extreme mismatch: a top-tier processor paired with a bottom-tier graphics solution.

The measured frame rates align with that ranking. At 1080p, the system barely clears the 60 FPS threshold on Medium settings. At 1440p and 4K, it falls far short on every preset. For a game released in 2019, this is a weak result, and the rank reflects it. The combo is not competitive with the majority of tested configurations, and the data suggests that the GPU is responsible for the low standing.

A user looking at this rank should understand that the CPU is not the issue. The Ultra 7 265 is a high-end processor by database standards. The Arc B370, however, is a very low-end GPU by the same standards. The combination produces a system that can handle older or less demanding titles at 1080p, but Greedfall at higher resolutions is beyond its reach.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Greedfall? The answer depends entirely on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, yes, with limitations. The database lists Low and Medium as playable settings, with Medium being the best preset at an average of 60 FPS. Low averages 76 FPS, which is also playable and offers a smoother experience if visual quality is sacrificed. High settings average 54 FPS, just below the threshold, and Ultra averages 35 FPS, which is not smooth enough for consistent play.

At 2560x1440, no. The verdict data lists no playable settings. Low comes closest at 53 FPS, but it does not reach the 60 FPS threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall further behind, with averages of 41, 38, and 24 FPS respectively.

At 3840x2160, no. The verdict data lists no playable settings. Low averages 31 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS, High averages 22 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. None of these are acceptable for a game that requires 60 FPS for smooth gameplay.

The practical takeaway: this system is a 1080p machine for Greedfall. It can handle Medium settings at that resolution with an average exactly at the 60 FPS target, and Low settings with a comfortable 76 FPS average. Anything beyond 1080p requires a more capable GPU. The CPU has plenty of headroom, but the Arc B370 cannot deliver the rendering performance needed for higher resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear division of labor in this pairing. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 is a high-end processor with an average benchmark score of 64640 and a 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs. The Intel Arc B370 is a low-end integrated GPU with an average benchmark score of 1184 and a 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs. In Greedfall, the GPU dominates the performance outcome.

Evidence for this comes from the resolution scaling. At 1920x1080 Medium, the system averages 60 FPS. At 2560x1440 Medium, it drops to 41 FPS, a 31.7% reduction. At 3840x2160 Medium, it falls to 25 FPS, a 58.3% reduction from the 1080p result. These drops are far larger than what a CPU bottleneck would produce. The CPU is identical in all three cases, so the frame rate collapse is entirely attributable to the GPU's inability to handle the increasing pixel load.

Preset scaling tells a similar story. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra changes the average from 76 FPS to 35 FPS, a 54% reduction. At 1440p, the same preset range goes from 53 FPS to 24 FPS, a 54.7% reduction. At 4K, it goes from 31 FPS to 14 FPS, a 54.8% reduction. The consistency of this ratio across resolutions suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor at every step, and the CPU is never the constraint.

The CPU's role becomes more relevant at lower resolutions and settings, where the GPU has less work to do. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 76 FPS, which is the highest recorded average. Even here, the CPU is not stretched, given its 20 cores and 20 threads and its 93rd percentile standing. The real bottleneck in Greedfall is always the Arc B370.

For users of this combo, the data implies that upgrading the GPU would yield massive gains, while upgrading the CPU would yield almost none. The Ultra 7 265 is more than sufficient for this game, and its performance headroom would support a far stronger graphics card. The Arc B370, by contrast, is the single point of failure for any attempt to run Greedfall at higher resolutions or presets.
