GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution built on the Xe3-LPG architecture, fabricated on Intel's 3 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The GPU has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster operation units, along with 10 ray tracing cores. Its peak pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance at 6.144 TFLOPS.

Critically, the Arc B370 has no dedicated VRAM. The memory configuration is entirely system shared, meaning the GPU draws from the same DDR5 pool as the CPU. This creates a fundamental bandwidth constraint, especially at higher resolutions. The data shows this clearly: at 4K Ultra, the combo manages only 14 average FPS, while at 4K Low it reaches 31 average FPS. This 55% improvement from lowering settings indicates the GPU is severely bandwidth-limited rather than compute-limited.

The GPU's percentile ranking is 5, meaning it outperforms only 5% of all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The nearest rivals in synthetic testing are ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% higher), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% higher), and AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7% higher). The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower. These are all legacy or low-end parts, confirming the Arc B370's position near the bottom of the GPU performance hierarchy.

The TDP is 25 W, and the GPU uses no power connectors — it is an IGP with a slot width of "IGP." The display outputs are portable-device dependent. In Greedfall, an Action RPG from 2019, this GPU is the clear bottleneck. The measured FPS data shows that even at 1080p Low, the combo achieves only 76 average FPS, and at 1080p Ultra, it drops to 35 average FPS. The GPU's shared memory architecture and low raw compute power make it unsuitable for demanding modern titles.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep resolution scaling curve for this combo in Greedfall. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 76. Moving to 1440p Low, it drops to 53 average FPS — a 30% reduction. At 4K Low, it falls further to 31 average FPS, which is 59% lower than the 1080p Low result. This scaling pattern indicates the GPU is the primary limiting component, as frame rates drop nearly linearly with pixel count.

At High settings, the scaling is similar: 54 average FPS at 1080p, 38 at 1440p (a 30% drop), and 22 at 4K (a 59% drop from 1080p). The consistency of these percentage drops across settings strongly suggests that the Arc B370's fixed memory bandwidth — shared with the system — is the constraining factor. The CPU, a Ryzen 5 7600 with 6 cores and 12 threads, has ample headroom at these frame rates.

The Medium settings data provides additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 60. At 1440p Medium, it drops to 41 (a 32% reduction). At 4K Medium, it reaches 25 (a 58% reduction from 1080p). The min FPS values also scale predictably: 51 at 1080p, 35 at 1440p, and 21 at 4K. These min FPS figures indicate frame-time consistency degrades as resolution increases, with the GPU struggling to maintain stable frame pacing.

Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the combo achieves 35 average FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 24 (a 31% reduction). At 4K Ultra, it falls to 14 (a 60% reduction from 1080p). The 4K Ultra result is essentially unplayable, and even 1440p Ultra is marginal. The resolution scaling data makes it clear that this combo is only suitable for 1080p gaming, and even then, only at lower settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel Arc B370 is as follows:

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 76 average FPS
• Medium: 60 average FPS (min 51, max 69)
• High: 54 average FPS
• Ultra: 35 average FPS

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 53 average FPS

• Ultra: 24 average FPS

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 31 average FPS
• Medium: 25 average FPS (min 21, max 28)
• High: 22 average FPS
• Ultra: 14 average FPS

At 1080p, the combo provides playable frame rates at Low and Medium settings, with 76 and 60 average FPS respectively. High settings at 54 average FPS are borderline playable, while Ultra at 35 average FPS is below the 60 FPS target but may be tolerable for slower-paced RPG gameplay. The min FPS of 51 at Medium suggests occasional dips but generally consistent performance.

At 1440p, only Low settings achieve above 50 average FPS (53). Medium drops to 41, High to 38, and Ultra to 24. The min FPS at Medium is 35, indicating noticeable frame drops during demanding scenes. This resolution is only playable at Low settings for smooth gameplay.

At 4K, all settings produce sub-60 FPS results, with Low at 31, Medium at 25, High at 22, and Ultra at 14. The min FPS at Medium is 21, which is below playable thresholds for most gamers. The 4K Ultra result of 14 average FPS is essentially a slideshow. This resolution is not recommended for this combo.

The delta between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution is consistent: 41 FPS at 1080p, 29 FPS at 1440p, and 17 FPS at 4K. This suggests the GPU's compute resources are the limiting factor, as the absolute performance gap narrows with higher resolution due to pixel throughput limits.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 + Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 2699 out of 2938 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the 8th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning 91.7% of tested combos perform better. The rank reflects the GPU's severe limitations, as the CPU is a high-performing desktop part.

The CPU alone ranks in the 78th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 26324. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (26274, 0.2% lower), AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (26402, 0.3% higher), Intel Core i9-11900KF (26212, 0.4% lower), and AMD Ryzen 5 8540U (26187, 0.5% lower). This indicates the Ryzen 5 7600 is a solid mid-range performer, capable of handling modern game logic and physics.

The GPU, however, ranks in the 5th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest rivals are all legacy parts from the early 2010s: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% higher), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% higher), AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7% higher), and AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, 1.4% lower). This places the Arc B370 in the company of decade-old hardware, despite being a 3 nm part with modern features like DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 support.

The combination of a top-quartile CPU with a bottom-quartile GPU creates a massively unbalanced system for gaming. In Greedfall, the GPU bottleneck is so severe that the CPU's capabilities are largely irrelevant. The combo rank of 2699 reflects this imbalance, with the overall performance being dragged down by the GPU's inability to feed frames fast enough at any resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo in Greedfall depend on the target frame rate and resolution.

For 1080p gaming, Low settings provide the best experience with 76 average FPS. This exceeds the 60 FPS target and provides a smooth gameplay experience. Medium settings at 60 average FPS are also acceptable, with the min FPS of 51 indicating occasional dips but generally stable performance. High settings at 54 average FPS are playable but may feel less responsive during combat. Ultra settings at 35 average FPS are not recommended for action sequences, as the frame rate drops below smooth-playable thresholds.

For 1440p gaming, Low settings at 53 average FPS are the only viable option for reasonably smooth gameplay. Medium at 41 average FPS is borderline, and High at 38 or Ultra at 24 are not recommended. The min FPS of 35 at Medium suggests significant frame drops during intense scenes.

For 4K gaming, none of the settings provide playable frame rates. Low at 31 average FPS is the best result, but it falls below the 30 FPS smoothness threshold in demanding moments. Medium at 25, High at 22, and Ultra at 14 are all below acceptable levels. 4K gaming is not recommended for this combo.

The best overall experience is 1080p Low, which delivers 76 average FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS target and ensures consistent performance. For players who prioritize visual quality over frame rate, 1080p Medium at 60 average FPS with a min of 51 offers a balanced trade-off. The Medium preset includes the only min/max FPS data in the FACT PACK, indicating it was the primary tested configuration.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael codename), fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. It supports DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration with a theoretical bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and includes Radeon Graphics integrated.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7600 demonstrates strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. Its Cinebench R23 scores are 1852 single-core and 12735 multi-core. Geekbench scores are 2521 single-core and 13413 multi-core. The 3DMark thread scaling shows 999 single-thread, 1938 at 2 threads, 3686 at 4 threads, 5508 at 8 threads, and 6503 at max threads. This scaling pattern indicates good thread utilization, with performance nearly tripling from 2 to 8 threads.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 26324, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are all mobile or previous-generation desktop parts, confirming its position as a strong mid-range desktop option. The PassMark multithread score is 27058, with single-thread at 3910.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is largely to feed the GPU with draw calls and handle game logic. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 76 average FPS. This frame rate is well within the CPU's capability to maintain, as the Ryzen 5 7600 can handle hundreds of FPS in less demanding scenarios. The bottleneck is clearly the GPU, not the CPU.

The fact that frame rates scale nearly linearly with resolution (76 at 1080p, 53 at 1440p, 31 at 4K at Low settings) confirms the GPU is the limiting component. If the CPU were the bottleneck, frame rates would remain similar across resolutions. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are more than sufficient for Greedfall, an Action RPG from 2019 that does not require extreme multi-core performance.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s is shared with the GPU's system-shared memory. This creates a potential contention point, but the measured data suggests the GPU's compute limitations dominate. The CPU's 32 MB L3 cache helps mitigate memory latency, but the GPU's reliance on system memory for its frame buffer remains the primary constraint.
