Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and Intel Arc B370 combination delivers a strictly entry-level experience in Greedfall, with benchmark results placing it near the bottom of the database. The pairing of a modern 6-core CPU with a low-power integrated-class GPU produces a system that is consistently CPU-capable but severely GPU-limited at higher resolutions. The data shows a clear hierarchy: this combo ranks 2699th out of 2938 tested combinations, placing it in the bottom 8% of all systems measured.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer) using TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. This is a desktop-class chip on the AM4 socket with 32 MB of shared L3 cache, and it supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The processor scores 2872 in PassMark single-thread tests and 19236 in multithreaded tests, with a PassMark average benchmark score of 36945. This puts it at the 85th percentile of all CPUs, indicating solid mainstream performance that should not bottleneck most games at standard settings.

However, in Greedfall, the CPU is not the limiting factor in any measurable way. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 76 FPS average, but this drops to 22 FPS at 4K High. The pattern is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario where the Arc B370 cannot push enough frames to stress the Ryzen 5 5600F. The CPU's single-thread score of 2872 is respectable for a 6-core part, and its multithread score of 19236 suggests it can handle the game's background tasks, NPC logic, and physics calculations without issue. The nearest rivals in CPU benchmarks are the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (deltaPct 0), AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D (deltaPct -0.2), AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 (deltaPct -0.4), and Intel Core i9-12900T (deltaPct -0.5). All of these are within 0.5% of the 5600F's average score, indicating that the processor is well-matched to its peer group and is not a source of performance variance in this game.

The 6-core/12-thread configuration with a 4.00 GHz boost clock is more than adequate for Greedfall, a 2019 Action RPG that does not demand extreme CPU resources. The real constraint is the GPU, and the benchmark results reflect that: the spread from 76 FPS at 1080p Low to 14 FPS at 4K Ultra is far wider than what a CPU bottleneck would produce. The CPU's 7 nm process and 65 W TDP also indicate that thermal throttling is unlikely to be a factor in a standard desktop chassis. In summary, the Ryzen 5 5600F provides a stable foundation, but its performance headroom remains untapped because the Intel Arc B370 cannot deliver the frame rates needed to challenge it.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The comboRankInGame field places this system at 2699 out of 2938 total combinations, which is a rank in the 8th percentile overall. This means that 239 other tested combos perform worse, but the vast majority of systems deliver higher frame rates in Greedfall. The rank is a direct consequence of the GPU's limitations: the Intel Arc B370 has a percentileVsAllGpus score of 5, meaning it outperforms only 5% of all GPUs in the database. In practical terms, this combo is positioned at the bottom tier of playable configurations.

When compared to other combos using the same CPU, the data suggests that the Ryzen 5 5600F's 85th percentile CPU performance is wasted in this pairing. The CPU alone would rank much higher if paired with a more capable GPU, but the system-level rank is dragged down by the Arc B370. The combination's nearest GPU rivals include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (deltaPct -0.2), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (deltaPct -0.5), AMD Radeon HD 7650M (deltaPct -0.7), and AMD FirePro M2000 (deltaPct 1.4). These are all legacy or mobile parts, confirming that the Arc B370's performance class is firmly in the entry-level segment.

The rank of 2699 also indicates that the combo is not suitable for high-refresh-rate gaming or 4K play. The best case scenario at 1080p Low yields 76 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, but this drops sharply with any increase in settings. The data shows that the combo occupies a narrow band of usability: it can handle 1080p at Low to Medium settings, but anything beyond that results in sub-60 FPS performance. For a game like Greedfall, which is a single-player Action RPG with moderate system requirements, this rank suggests that users should expect a compromised experience with frequent frame rate dips.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of the combo's capabilities across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the performance ranges from 76 FPS at Low to 35 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset delivers 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 and maximum of 69, while High achieves 54 FPS. This is the only resolution where the combo approaches playable frame rates across multiple presets, though Ultra remains marginal at 35 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops significantly. Low settings produce 53 FPS, High yields 38 FPS, and Medium averages 41 FPS with a minimum of 35 and maximum of 48. The Ultra preset falls to 24 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. The transition from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings shows a consistent reduction: Low drops from 76 to 53 FPS (a 30% decrease), High from 54 to 38 FPS (a 30% decrease), and Medium from 60 to 41 FPS (a 32% decrease).

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings average 31 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS with a minimum of 21 and maximum of 28, High averages 22 FPS, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. None of these configurations reach 60 FPS, and only Low settings exceed 30 FPS. The 4K data confirms that this combo is not designed for high-resolution gaming, with even the lowest preset failing to provide a consistently smooth experience.

The min/max data available for Medium settings at each resolution shows the frame time variance. At 1080p Medium, the range is 51-69 FPS, a spread of 18 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the range narrows to 35-48 FPS, a spread of 13 FPS. At 4K Medium, the range is 21-28 FPS, a spread of 7 FPS. This tightening at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint, as the frame rate becomes more consistent when the workload is heavier and the CPU has more headroom.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling behavior is a textbook example of GPU-bound performance. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the average FPS drops from 54 to 38, a 30% reduction. Moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings, the average FPS drops from 38 to 22, a 42% reduction. The total drop from 1080p to 4K at High is from 54 to 22 FPS, a 59% decrease. This is consistent with the GPU being the limiting factor, as the frame rate scales inversely with the number of pixels rendered.

At Low settings, the scaling is similar: 76 FPS at 1080p, 53 FPS at 1440p, and 31 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 30%, and from 1440p to 4K is 41%. The fact that the percentage drops are nearly identical across different settings presets indicates that the GPU is saturated regardless of the quality level. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the frame rate to remain more constant as resolution increases, since the CPU workload does not change with resolution. Instead, the FPS drops proportionally to the pixel count, confirming that the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting component.

The data also shows that the combo cannot maintain 60 FPS at any resolution above 1080p Low. At 1440p, even the lowest settings only reach 53 FPS, and at 4K, the highest is 31 FPS. This suggests that the GPU's 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 48.00 GPixel/s pixel rate are insufficient for Greedfall at higher resolutions. The system shared memory configuration, with bandwidth listed as "System Dependent," further compounds the issue, as the GPU must compete with the CPU for memory bandwidth. The resolution scaling data makes it clear that users should stick to 1080p if they want any semblance of smooth gameplay.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal configuration is 1920x1080 with Medium settings. This preset delivers an average of 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 and maximum of 69, which is the only configuration that consistently hits the 60 FPS target. The Medium preset at 1080p provides a balanced experience, maintaining playable frame rates while offering better visual quality than Low. At Low settings, the combo achieves 76 FPS, but the visual fidelity is significantly reduced, and the extra 16 FPS over Medium is unlikely to be noticeable on a standard 60 Hz display.

The High preset at 1080p averages 54 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold but still playable for a single-player RPG. However, the Medium preset's min FPS of 51 is barely above the High average, suggesting that Medium provides more consistent frame pacing. For users who prioritize frame rate stability, Medium is the safer choice. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 35 FPS, which is too low for smooth gameplay and should be avoided.

At 1440p, the Low preset averages 53 FPS, which is the only playable option at this resolution. Medium drops to 41 FPS, and High to 38 FPS, both of which are below the 60 FPS target but may be acceptable for some players. At 4K, no preset is recommended, as even Low settings only average 31 FPS. The data suggests that users should either play at 1080p Medium for the best balance of performance and quality, or drop to 1080p Low if they need a higher frame rate buffer. Any attempt to increase resolution or settings beyond 1080p Medium will result in a sub-optimal experience.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated-class GPU based on the Xe3-LPG architecture (codenamed Panther Lake) built on Intel's 3 nm process. It has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, with a TDP of just 25 W. The GPU features 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 ROPs, and 10 ray tracing cores. Its peak performance is 6.144 TFLOPS for FP32 compute, 12.29 TFLOPS for FP16 (2:1 ratio), with a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s. The memory configuration is "System Shared," meaning it uses the system's DDR4 RAM rather than dedicated VRAM, with bandwidth listed as "System Dependent."

This GPU's performance in Greedfall is severely constrained by its hardware specifications. The 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184, places it in the same performance class as the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (deltaPct -0.5) and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (deltaPct -0.2). These are legacy parts from the early 2010s, indicating that the Arc B370 is not competitive with even mid-range GPUs from several generations ago. The 25 W TDP and integrated form factor (IGP slot width) further confirm that this is not designed for demanding gaming workloads.

The system shared memory is a particular liability in Greedfall. The game likely requires significant memory bandwidth for texture streaming and asset loading, and the shared memory configuration forces the GPU to contend with the CPU for the same DDR4 bandwidth (51.2 GB/s for the CPU). The measured FPS data shows that the GPU bottlenecks even at 1080p Low, where it only achieves 76 FPS. At 4K, the GPU's limited pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and fill rate become the dominant constraints, resulting in single-digit to low-20s FPS. The Arc B370's boost clock of 2400 MHz is respectable, but the low shader count and memory bandwidth limitations mean that raw clock speed cannot compensate for the lack of compute resources. In summary, the GPU is the primary bottleneck in this combo, and its performance class is simply too low for Greedfall at anything above 1080p Medium.
