Greedfall

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Intel Arc B370 reveals a predictable but steep performance collapse as resolution climbs. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers an average of 76 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low drops that to 53 FPS, a reduction of roughly 30%. At 3840x2160 at Low, the average falls further to 31 FPS, which is less than half of the 1080p figure. This scaling pattern indicates that the limiting component shifts decisively toward the GPU as pixel count increases.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution tells the same story. At 1080p, the Ultra preset yields 35 FPS compared to 76 FPS at Low, meaning the Ultra setting costs more than half the frame rate. At 1440p, Ultra produces 24 FPS versus 53 FPS at Low. At 4K, Ultra drops to 14 FPS while Low manages 31 FPS. These deltas are substantial across the board, but the absolute numbers at 4K are telling: even the lowest settings cannot achieve 30 FPS, which is often considered the minimum for playable action RPGs.

The data suggests that the Intel Arc B370, with its modest 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 20 ROPs, is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The GPU's boost clock of 2400 MHz and base clock of 300 MHz are not sufficient to maintain fluid frame rates when the render target expands. The system-shared memory configuration also means bandwidth is "System Dependent," which further constrains performance at 4K where memory traffic increases dramatically. The CPU, a Zen 3 part with 8 cores and 16 threads, is far more capable than what this workload demands at 4K — the 22 FPS High average at 4K versus 54 FPS at 1080p High is a classic sign of GPU saturation, not CPU limitation.

Interestingly, the Medium preset at 1080p achieves 60 FPS average, with a minimum of 51 FPS and maximum of 69 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 41 FPS with a range of 35 to 48 FPS. These figures indicate that the combo can handle Medium settings at 1080p with reasonable consistency, but the variance grows at higher resolutions. The 4K Medium row shows a minimum of 21 FPS and maximum of 28 FPS, which is a narrow band around a 25 FPS average — playable for some, but below the threshold for smooth action gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

In Greedfall specifically, this CPU-GPU combination ranks 2699 out of 2938 tested combos. That puts it in the bottom 8% of all configurations measured for this game. The rank is poor, and the data supports that verdict: at no resolution or settings combination does this combo reach 60 FPS at 1440p or above. Even at 1080p, only the Low preset exceeds 70 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 35 FPS.

The GPU is the dominant drag on this ranking. The Intel Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest rivals are all older or lower-tier parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186 (0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (0.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (0.7% higher). The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower. This places the Arc B370 in extremely modest company — these are not GPUs known for modern gaming at high resolutions.

The CPU, by contrast, is far more respectable. The Ryzen 7 5700 sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25517. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25530, 0.1% higher), the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (25485, 0.1% lower), the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (25550, 0.1% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (25446, 0.3% lower). The CPU is not the reason this combo ranks so low; it is the GPU holding the pairing back.

The combo rank of 2699 out of 2938 means that nearly 92% of tested configurations outperform this one in Greedfall. That is a stark conclusion. The data indicates that the Arc B370 is a severe limiting factor, and the Ryzen 7 5700's capabilities are largely wasted in this pairing for this particular game. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (14 FPS) is barely interactive, and even 1080p Ultra (35 FPS) is below the standard for a smooth action RPG experience.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured rows, the best experience for this combo in Greedfall is at 1920x1080 with Low settings, which delivers 76 FPS average. This is the only configuration that approaches high-refresh territory, and it does so without any reported minimum FPS below the average, suggesting relative stability. The 1080p Medium preset offers 60 FPS average with a minimum of 51 FPS, which is also playable and provides better visual fidelity than Low. For players who prioritize smoothness over visuals, Low at 1080p is the clear choice.

At 2560x1440, the situation is more constrained. The Low preset yields 53 FPS, which is acceptable for many gamers, but Medium drops to 41 FPS and High to 38 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p produces only 24 FPS, which is not recommended for any gameplay scenario. The data suggests that 1440p users should stick to Low or Medium, with Medium offering a better balance at 41 FPS average.

At 3840x2160, no settings preset achieves a playable frame rate by conventional standards. Low yields 31 FPS, Medium 25 FPS, High 22 FPS, and Ultra 14 FPS. Even the lowest settings at 4K are marginal. The recommendation is to avoid 4K with this combo unless the user accepts sub-30 FPS performance. The 1080p Medium preset is the sweet spot: 60 FPS average, a minimum of 51 FPS, and a maximum of 69 FPS, which provides a consistent experience without the visual degradation of Low.

Comparatively, the 1440p Medium preset at 41 FPS and 1080p High at 54 FPS are also viable, but they do not offer the same headroom as 1080p Medium. The data shows diminishing returns as resolution increases, and the GPU's limitations become more pronounced. For the best overall experience, the recommendation is 1080p Medium, with 1080p Low as a fallback for those who demand higher frame rates.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is the decisive factor in this combo's Greedfall performance, and the numbers are not flattering. The GPU has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, which is a wide range that suggests power management is aggressive. The memory configuration is "System Shared," meaning there is no dedicated VRAM — the GPU relies on system memory, and bandwidth is "System Dependent." This is a fundamental constraint for a game like Greedfall, which requires consistent memory throughput for textures and geometry.

The GPU's compute capabilities are modest: 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs. The pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s. The FP32 throughput is 6.144 TFLOPS, with FP16 at 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1). These specifications explain the measured FPS figures. At 1080p Low, the GPU can push 76 FPS, but as resolution increases, the pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth become insufficient. The 4K Ultra result of 14 FPS is a direct consequence of the GPU being overwhelmed by the render workload.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 5 among all GPUs is a stark indicator of its position. Its average benchmark score of 1184 is barely above the AMD FirePro M2000 at 1168. The nearest rivals are all older or integrated-class parts, which contextualizes the Arc B370 as a low-end solution. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 further confirms this — it is a benchmark that stresses modern rendering features, and the Arc B370 struggles.

In Greedfall, the GPU's role is to render the game's environments and characters. The data shows that at 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS, which suggests the GPU can handle the game at lower resolutions with moderate settings. However, at 1440p and 4K, the GPU's limitations become severe. The 1440p High result of 38 FPS and the 4K High result of 22 FPS indicate that the GPU cannot sustain smooth performance beyond 1080p. The system-shared memory is a particular weakness — it means the GPU competes with the CPU for memory bandwidth, which is a bottleneck in memory-intensive scenes.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a Zen 3 part with 8 cores and 16 threads, base clock of 3.70 GHz, and boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It has a 65 W TDP and is built on TSMC's 7 nm process with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. These specifications place it well above what Greedfall requires from a CPU.

The CPU's benchmark results are solid. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 20655; in R20 multi-core, 8675; and in R15 multi-core, 2082. Single-core scores are 2916 (R23), 1224 (R20), and 293 (R15). The Geekbench multi-core score is 9959, and single-core is 1907. The 3DMark scores show scaling from 1762 (2 threads) to 6628 (16 threads), indicating good multi-threading efficiency. The Passmark multi-thread score is 24303, with single-thread at 3296. These numbers put the CPU at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25517.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, AI, and physics. The measured FPS data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor at any resolution. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 76 FPS, which is a high enough frame rate that the CPU is clearly keeping pace with the GPU. At 4K Low, the FPS drops to 31, but this is due to the GPU's inability to render at that resolution, not the CPU. The CPU's 16 threads provide ample headroom for the game's multi-threaded workloads, and the Zen 3 architecture's strong single-thread performance ensures that even lightly-threaded tasks are handled efficiently.

The CPU's nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average score, indicating that it is a well-balanced mid-range part. The Ryzen 7 5825U is 0.3% lower, the Ryzen 5 6600H is 0.1% higher, the Ryzen 5 7640U is 0.1% lower, and the Intel Xeon D-2752TER is 0.1% higher. This consistency means the CPU is not a differentiator in this combo's ranking — it is the GPU that pulls the overall rank down to 2699 out of 2938. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for Greedfall, and the data suggests that pairing this CPU with a more capable GPU would yield significantly better results.
