Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the Intel Arc B370 ranks 2699th out of 2938 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the bottom 8% of all configurations. This is a low position that reflects the significant performance limitations of the integrated graphics solution, despite the processor’s solid multi-threaded capabilities. The combination’s ranking indicates that while the CPU is a competent mid-range part, the GPU component severely constrains the overall gaming experience, making this pairing more suited for productivity workloads than for modern action RPGs.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame data places this pairing at 2699 out of 2938 tested combos, which puts it in the 91.8th percentile from the bottom. This means that approximately 91.8% of all tested CPU-GPU combinations deliver better performance in Greedfall. The ranking is heavily influenced by the Intel Arc B370’s position in the broader GPU landscape, where it sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs. This is an extremely low standing that places it in the company of legacy mobile and entry-level desktop parts from over a decade ago.

The CPU component, by contrast, performs far better relative to its peers. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27051. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 27097, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, which scores 26936. The Ryzen 7 5700G trails the i9-9900K by only 0.2% and leads the Ryzen AI 7 445 by 0.4%. This places the processor in a strong competitive position, but the GPU’s 5th percentile ranking drags the entire combo down. The delta between the CPU’s high percentile and the GPU’s low percentile creates the fundamental bottleneck that defines this configuration’s gaming performance.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) built on Intel’s 3 nm process with the Xe3-LPG architecture. It operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, which is a wide frequency range that allows for aggressive power scaling when thermal headroom permits. The GPU features 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units, along with 10 ray tracing cores. Its pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s, while FP32 performance reaches 6.144 TFLOPS. The TDP is listed at 25 W, which is remarkably low and reflects its integrated nature with no dedicated power connectors.

The memory subsystem is entirely system-shared, meaning the GPU relies on the host system’s DDR4 RAM rather than dedicated VRAM. Memory bandwidth is described as system dependent, which introduces a significant variable into performance. In Greedfall, the GPU’s limited fill rate and memory bandwidth become apparent at higher resolutions and settings. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 places it at the 5th percentile, with its nearest rival being the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which scores 1186. The Arc B370 trails that part by 0.2% and leads the AMD FirePro M2000, which scores 1168, by 1.4%. These comparisons show that the GPU operates in performance territory established by parts from 2010-2011, which severely limits its ability to handle a 2019 action RPG at playable framerates on modern displays.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a desktop processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The processor is manufactured on TSMC’s 7 nm process, containing 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. It supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a total of 16 MB of L3 cache.

In benchmark tests, the Ryzen 7 5700G demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 12830.5, while the single-core score is 1494. Geekbench results show 9950 for multi-core and 1894 for single-core. The PassMark multithread score is 24419, with a single-thread score of 3283. The 3DMark tests show scaling from 899 in single-thread to 6629 in 16-thread workloads, with 8-thread performance at 5648. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 27051 places it just 0.2% below the Intel Core i9-9900K, which is a significant achievement for a processor with integrated graphics. For Greedfall, the CPU provides ample computational headroom, but this advantage is wasted because the GPU cannot translate the CPU’s capability into higher frame rates. The processor’s 16 threads are more than sufficient for the game’s requirements, yet the system still falls below playable thresholds at most settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution and settings increase. At 1920x1080, the lowest tested resolution, the combo achieves 76 FPS on Low settings, which is the only configuration that reaches a clearly playable framerate. The Medium preset delivers 60 FPS average, with minimum and maximum readings of 51 and 69 FPS respectively, which is also acceptable for gameplay. High settings drop the average to 54 FPS, while Ultra falls to 35 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth action-RPG combat.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance decline is substantial. Low settings produce 53 FPS, which is barely playable, while Medium drops to 41 FPS with a range of 35 to 48 FPS. High settings yield 38 FPS, and Ultra falls to 24 FPS, which is not viable for a game that requires responsive controls. At 3840x2160, the results are even more constrained. Low settings achieve 31 FPS, Medium drops to 25 FPS with a range of 21 to 28 FPS, High falls to 22 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 14 FPS. None of the 4K results are playable, with even the lowest settings failing to reach 30 FPS consistently. The data shows that the only fully playable experience is at 1080p with Low or Medium settings, with 1080p High being marginally acceptable and everything else falling short of the 60 FPS target that modern gamers expect.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly identifies the GPU as the limiting component. At Low settings, the average framerate drops from 76 FPS at 1080p to 53 FPS at 1440p, a 30.3% decrease, and then to 31 FPS at 4K, a 59.2% decrease from the 1080p baseline. For Medium settings, the progression is 60 FPS at 1080p, 41 FPS at 1440p (a 31.7% drop), and 25 FPS at 4K (a 58.3% drop). High settings follow a similar trajectory: 54 FPS at 1080p, 38 FPS at 1440p (a 29.6% drop), and 22 FPS at 4K (a 59.3% drop). Ultra settings show the steepest decline: 35 FPS at 1080p, 24 FPS at 1440p (a 31.4% drop), and 14 FPS at 4K (a 60.0% drop).

The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings—approximately 30% from 1080p to 1440p and 60% from 1080p to 4K—indicates that the scaling is resolution-bound rather than setting-bound. This pattern is characteristic of a GPU that is operating at its fill-rate and memory-bandwidth limits. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the scaling would be less pronounced, as the processor would maintain similar frame rates across resolutions until it reached its own limits. The fact that performance degrades so predictably with pixel count confirms that the Intel Arc B370’s 20 ROPs and system-shared memory are the primary constraints. The CPU’s high percentile ranking remains unused headroom, as the GPU cannot push enough frames to engage the processor’s full capabilities.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal configuration for this combo is 1920x1080 with Medium settings. This preset delivers 60 FPS average, with a minimum of 51 FPS, which provides a smooth experience that stays above the 50 FPS threshold for most players. The Medium preset also shows the best balance between visual quality and performance, as the Low preset at 76 FPS sacrifices too much visual fidelity for a marginal gain in smoothness. The High preset at 1080p, which produces 54 FPS, is a viable alternative for players who prioritize image quality over frame rate stability, but the 6 FPS difference from Medium is not worth the visual downgrade that Medium requires.

At 1440p, the only acceptable option is Low settings, which achieves 53 FPS. However, this is a borderline experience, and the Medium preset at 41 FPS is likely too choppy for a game that involves real-time combat. 4K is not viable under any settings, with the highest achievable average being 31 FPS on Low, which is below the 30 FPS minimum for most players. Given the data, the recommended experience is 1080p Medium, with the understanding that this combo is best suited for 1080p displays. The Ultra preset should be avoided entirely, as even at 1080p it only produces 35 FPS, which is below the playable threshold for this genre. The data suggests that players should prioritize framerate over graphical fidelity when using this hardware.
