Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the Intel Arc B570 in Greedfall delivers a consistent 1080p experience, but the benchmark data reveals a steep performance cliff as resolution increases. This combination ranks 2979 out of 3703 tested combos in this title, placing it in the lower portion of the database. The measured frames per second across all settings and resolutions tell a clear story about where this hardware excels and where it struggles.

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

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture and operates with a base and boost clock of 2500 MHz. Its memory subsystem consists of 10 GB of GDDR6 across a 160-bit bus, delivering 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s pixel rate is 200.0 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 360.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 11.52 TFLOPS. These specifications position the card with a percentile ranking of 65 among all GPUs in the database.

The 10 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for Greedfall’s demands, as the game is from 2019 and does not push modern memory ceilings. However, the GPU’s raw compute throughput appears to be the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra settings, the average FPS drops to 24, which is below playable thresholds. The data shows that from 1080p to 4K at High settings, the average FPS falls from 92 to 38, a reduction of 54 frames. This steep decline indicates that the Arc B570’s shading units, 2304 in total, and its 80 ROPs cannot sustain the pixel workload at 3840x2160.

Interestingly, the GPU’s performance in synthetic benchmarks shows it sits close to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, with a deltaPct of 0.1, and the Intel Arc A750 at -0.1. Yet in Greedfall, the practical results show that the card is best suited for 1080p gaming. The measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 130, which is a strong result, but at 4K Ultra the card is clearly overwhelmed. The 150 W TDP and dual-slot design suggest a mid-range power envelope, and the data confirms that this GPU is not designed for 4K gaming in demanding titles.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, and manufactured on TSMC’s 7 nm process. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, and it has 32 MB of L3 cache. The CPU’s memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The 5800X holds a percentile ranking of 81 among all CPUs, indicating strong general-purpose performance.

In Greedfall, the CPU’s role is less critical than the GPU at higher resolutions. The benchmark data shows that at 1080p Low, the combination achieves 130 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU adequately at lower settings. However, at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 24, and this is almost certainly GPU-bound rather than CPU-bound. The 5800X’s single-thread and multi-thread scores in Cinebench R23, 1574.5 and 15476 respectively, indicate a capable processor, but Greedfall’s engine does not appear to heavily tax the CPU at these settings.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H at a deltaPct of 0.1 and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT at 0.6. These comparisons show that the 5800X is competitive with modern mid-range processors, but in this game, the bottleneck shifts to the GPU as resolution increases. The fact that the 1080p Low result of 130 FPS is nearly double the 4K High result of 38 FPS strongly suggests that the CPU is not the limiting component at higher resolutions. The processor’s 16 threads may help with background tasks and frame pacing, but the measured FPS values do not show a CPU-related ceiling at 1440p or 4K.

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

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the High preset yields 92 FPS average, which is smooth for most gameplay. The Medium preset provides 102 FPS with a minimum of 87 and maximum of 117, offering a slight improvement in frame rate while presumably maintaining decent visual quality. The Low preset reaches 130 FPS, but the visual trade-offs may not be worth it given that High already exceeds 90 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 59 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a fast-paced action RPG.

For 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 64 FPS, which is acceptable for this resolution. The Medium preset offers 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 and maximum of 81, making it the best choice for players who want a balance between visual fidelity and performance. The Low preset reaches 90 FPS, which is excellent, but the visual downgrade may be noticeable. The Ultra preset at 1440p falls to 41 FPS, which is below the smoothness threshold for most players.

At 3840x2160, no preset provides a fully playable experience. The best result is Low at 54 FPS, which is borderline, while High drops to 38 FPS and Ultra falls to 24 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K yields 42 FPS with a minimum of 36 and maximum of 48, but this is still not ideal for a game that requires precise timing in combat. The data clearly shows that 4K gaming with this combination is not recommended unless players are willing to accept significant compromises.

The most balanced experience is at 1440p Medium, where the minimum FPS of 60 ensures consistent performance without major frame drops. For players prioritizing frame rate, 1080p High or Medium are the best options, as they stay well above 90 FPS.

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

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU limitation. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 92 at 1080p to 64 at 1440p and then to 38 at 4K. This represents a 30.4 percent decrease from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 40.6 percent decrease from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is roughly proportional to the increase in pixel count, which indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

At Low settings, the same pattern emerges: 130 FPS at 1080p, 90 FPS at 1440p, and 54 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 76 FPS, or 58.5 percent. This consistent decline across all settings confirms that the Intel Arc B570’s rasterization throughput is insufficient for 4K workloads. The GPU’s 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate are simply not enough to maintain high frame rates at 3840x2160.

The fact that the CPU’s benchmark scores are strong, with a passmark multithread score of 27732, suggests that the processor is not the limiting factor. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see similar FPS values across resolutions, but the data shows significant variation. This indicates that Greedfall’s rendering demands scale with pixel count, and the Arc B570 cannot keep up at 4K. The 1440p results are more reasonable, with High and Medium settings achieving 64 and 71 FPS respectively, suggesting that this is the practical ceiling for this GPU in this game.

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

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are as follows: Low settings achieve 130 FPS, Medium settings achieve 102 FPS with a minimum of 87 and maximum of 117, High settings achieve 92 FPS, and Ultra settings achieve 59 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 71 FPS, showing a significant performance range across presets.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low settings at 90 FPS, Medium settings at 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 and maximum of 81, High settings at 64 FPS, and Ultra settings at 41 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 49 FPS, which is narrower than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low settings at 54 FPS, Medium settings at 42 FPS with a minimum of 36 and maximum of 48, High settings at 38 FPS, and Ultra settings at 24 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 30 FPS, and even the lowest settings cannot reach 60 FPS. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium is 36, which will result in noticeable stuttering during intense combat scenes.

The data shows that the Medium preset consistently provides the most stable frame pacing, as it is the only setting with recorded minimum and maximum values across all resolutions. This suggests that Medium is the most predictable setting in terms of frame delivery, even if it does not offer the highest average FPS.
