A: The only measured minimum FPS values are for the Medium preset. At 1080p, the minimum is 87 FPS; at 1440p, it is 60 FPS; and at 4K, it drops to 36 FPS. No minimum FPS data was provided for Low, High, or Ultra presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, codenamed Renoir. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. This configuration is well-suited for a title like Greedfall, which is an Action RPG that benefits from consistent multi-threaded performance for game logic and AI.

The CPU's benchmark results show a capable part. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593 and single-core score of 1919 indicate a balanced performance profile. The percentile ranking of 71 against all CPUs suggests that it sits above the majority of processors. In direct comparison, its average benchmark score of 17507 is a mere 0.1% higher than the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE and 0.6% higher than the Intel Core 7 150U, placing it in a highly competitive mid-range bracket.

In the context of this game, the CPU's role appears to be one of providing a stable foundation rather than being the limiting factor. The FPS data shows a clear trend where performance scales inversely with resolution. For instance, at 1080p High, the combo achieves 92 FPS, but this drops to 64 FPS at 1440p and 38 FPS at 4K. This pattern is indicative of the GPU becoming the primary constraint as the rendering load increases. The 4600G's 12 threads are likely sufficient to keep the Arc B570 fed, especially at lower resolutions where the CPU has more headroom to prepare frames.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, also known as Battlemage. It features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. The GPU operates at a consistent clock speed of 2500 MHz for both base and boost. Critically, it has 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a key factor in its performance at higher resolutions.

The GPU's benchmark data shows it performs at a level similar to its nearest rivals. Its Passmark G3D score of 14195 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 96844 are robust. The percentile ranking of 65 against all GPUs confirms it is a solid mid-to-upper-tier performer. The deltaPct values against its nearest rivals are all within 0.5%, meaning the Arc B570 is essentially performance-equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile and the Intel Arc A750.

In Greedfall, the GPU's role is dominant. The measured FPS data shows a clear and significant drop as resolution scales up. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 130 FPS, but at 4K Low, it falls to 54 FPS. This is a 76 FPS reduction. The trend continues across all settings. The 10 GB VRAM buffer and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are likely being saturated at 4K, particularly on the Ultra preset, which only manages 24 FPS. The GPU is clearly the component that determines the playability ceiling for this pairing.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 4600G and Arc B570 holds a rank of 2344 out of 2938 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the 80th percentile, meaning it outperforms 80% of all other CPU-GPU pairings tested for this game. This is a strong position, indicating that despite being comprised of mid-range parts, the combination works effectively together.

The ranking is a holistic measure of the pairing's ability to run the game. The data from the measured FPS shows that the combo is excellent at 1080p, offering high frame rates across all settings. However, its rank is likely pulled down by the poor performance at 4K, particularly on the Ultra preset where it only achieves 24 FPS. The ranking reflects the overall experience across all tested resolutions and settings, not just the best-case scenario. A combo that can only manage 24 FPS at 4K Ultra will not rank as highly as one that can handle that workload more gracefully.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of the combo's performance across three resolutions and four settings.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. On Low settings, it averages 130 FPS. Medium settings yield an average of 102 FPS, with a minimum of 87 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. High settings produce an average of 92 FPS. The Ultra preset is the only one below 60 FPS, with an average of 59 FPS. This shows that for 1080p gaming, the combo is more than capable of handling High settings for a smooth experience.

At 2560x1440, performance drops noticeably. Low settings still provide a good average of 90 FPS. Medium settings average 71 FPS, with a minimum of 60 FPS and a maximum of 81 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 64 FPS. Ultra settings fall to an average of 41 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. This resolution requires a compromise between visual quality and frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles significantly. Low settings average 54 FPS. Medium settings average 42 FPS, with a minimum of 36 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 38 FPS. Ultra settings are nearly unplayable, with an average of only 24 FPS. This resolution is not viable for this pairing if a consistent 60 FPS is desired.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal experience for this combo is at 1080p with High settings. This configuration delivers an average of 92 FPS, which is well above the standard for smooth gameplay. The jump from Medium (102 FPS) to High (92 FPS) is a small performance cost for a significant visual improvement. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 59 FPS, which is still playable but sacrifices frame rate for marginal visual gains.

For users with a 1440p monitor, the data suggests using Low settings to achieve a 90 FPS average. Medium settings are also viable, with a 71 FPS average and a minimum of 60 FPS, ensuring a consistent experience. High settings at 1440p (64 FPS) are borderline, but acceptable for those who prefer visual fidelity over maximum frame rate. Ultra settings at this resolution should be avoided, as the 41 FPS average will lead to noticeable stutter.

At 4K, none of the settings provide a satisfactory experience. Low settings (54 FPS) are the only option that approaches playability, but the average is still below 60 FPS. The data strongly suggests that 4K is not a target resolution for this hardware combination in Greedfall.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a stark reliance on the GPU. For High settings, the average FPS drops from 92 at 1080p to 64 at 1440p and finally to 38 at 4K. This represents a 30% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 41% drop from 1440p to 4K. The trend is similar for other settings, with Low settings dropping from 130 to 90 to 54 FPS across the same resolutions.

This pattern strongly indicates that the GPU is the limiting component. The performance degradation is directly proportional to the increase in pixel count. The Ryzen 5 4600G's performance, as evidenced by its benchmarks, does not show a similar cliff. The CPU is capable of maintaining high frame rates, but the Arc B570's rendering throughput and memory bandwidth are overwhelmed by the demands of 4K rendering in Greedfall.

The data implies that the Arc B570's 10 GB of VRAM and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but are insufficient for 4K. The 160-bit memory bus is a likely contributor to this bottleneck. The difference between 1080p and 4K is a 4x increase in pixels, and the FPS drops by roughly 2.4x for High settings, which is a reasonable scaling for a GPU-bound scenario. The combo is clearly optimized for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K being a bridge too far for this hardware pairing.
