Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Intel Arc B580 produces a mid-pack result in Greedfall, landing at rank 1311 out of 1705 tested combos. This places the pairing in the lower 23% of all configurations, a notable underperformance for a CPU that sits at the 87th percentile among all processors. The combination’s average benchmark score of 31580 for the CPU and 23021 for the GPU suggests the system is heavily limited by graphics throughput, as the processor’s headroom is not being converted into higher frame rates. The data indicates that while this pairing is viable for 1080p play, it struggles to maintain competitive performance at higher resolutions, with the GPU consistently acting as the bottleneck across all tested settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1311 out of 1705 places this system in the lower tier of tested configurations for Greedfall. This position reflects a substantial gap from top-tier pairings, and the data suggests that the Arc B580’s 66th percentile standing among all GPUs is the primary constraint. The CPU, by contrast, outperforms its nearest rivals: it edges out the Intel Core i7-12700F by 0.1% (31580 vs 31543), the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX by 0.3% (31580 vs 31495), and the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G by 0.6% (31580 vs 31407). Yet this processor advantage fails to translate into strong game performance, as the measured FPS figures remain moderate even at the lowest settings. The rank disparity between the CPU’s high percentile and the combo’s low position underscores that Greedfall is not compute-bound for this setup; instead, the graphics card dictates the outcome. The 0.7% deficit to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (23021 vs 23181) in GPU benchmarks further confirms that the Arc B580 is positioned just below mainstream competitors, which limits the combo’s overall standing.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580’s role in Greedfall is defined by its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is adequate for the game’s textures, but the GPU’s compute resources tell a more constrained story: 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, with a boost clock of 2670 MHz. The effective memory speed of 19 Gbps supports the card’s pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 427.2 GTexel/s, yet the FP32 throughput of 13.67 TFLOPS is modest for modern titles. In Greedfall, this translates to a clear ceiling: at 1080p Ultra, the average FPS drops to 67.4, which is only 46.8% of the Low setting’s 143.9 FPS. The GPU’s 20 ray tracing cores are largely irrelevant here, as the game’s performance scaling points to traditional rasterization limits. The 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs and the near-identical average benchmark score to the AMD Radeon 760M (23021 vs 22999, a 0.1% difference) indicate that the Arc B580 is a mid-tier part, and its 190 W TDP suggests it operates within a modest power envelope that does not compensate for its architectural constraints.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression across resolutions reveals a classic GPU-bound pattern. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, average FPS drops from 104.1 to 71, a 31.8% reduction, and then to 45.3 at 4K, a further 36.2% decline. This steep scaling—where 4K High delivers less than half the 1080p High frame rate (45.3 vs 104.1)—indicates that the Arc B580’s pixel throughput is the limiting factor, rather than the CPU. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D’s 8 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, are more than sufficient for this title, as evidenced by the CPU’s strong Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29149. At Low settings, the same pattern holds: 1080p yields 143.9 FPS, 1440p drops to 102.9, and 4K falls to 62.8, with the 4K figure representing only 43.6% of the 1080p result. The data shows that even at the lowest settings, the GPU cannot maintain high frame rates at 4K, confirming that resolution scaling is governed entirely by graphics processing. The Ultra preset exacerbates this, with 4K Ultra at 29.2 FPS being nearly unplayable, while 1080p Ultra at 67.4 remains fluid, highlighting that the combo’s sweet spot is confined to lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers playable results across most settings. Low averages 143.9 FPS, Medium 116.7, and High 104.1, while Ultra drops to 67.4. The gap between Low and Ultra is 76.5 FPS, a 53.2% reduction, which is substantial but expected for a GPU of this class. Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers compress: Low hits 102.9, Medium 79.2, High 71, and Ultra 48.4. The 1440p Ultra figure is particularly telling, as it falls below the 50 FPS threshold, indicating that the arc B580 struggles with high-fidelity settings at this resolution. At 3840x2160, performance degrades sharply: Low averages 62.8, Medium 47.2, High 45.3, and Ultra 29.2. The 4K Ultra result is only 20.3% of the 1080p Low score, illustrating the GPU’s inability to handle the pixel load. Across all resolutions, the delta between Low and Ultra grows with resolution: 53.2% at 1080p, 53.0% at 1440p, and 53.5% at 4K, showing a consistent performance penalty for higher settings regardless of resolution. The measured data confirms that the combo is best suited for 1080p High or Medium, where it maintains over 100 FPS, while 1440p requires Low or Medium for smooth gameplay.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a high-end desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 4 architecture on a 5 nm process. Its 96 MB of shared L3 cache is a standout feature, likely benefiting games with large working sets, though Greedfall does not appear to exploit this fully. The CPU’s boost clock of 5.00 GHz and base clock of 4.20 GHz, combined with a 120 W TDP, deliver strong single-thread performance, as seen in the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4115 and Geekbench single-core score of 2725. Multi-threaded results are equally robust, with Cinebench R23 multi-core at 29149 and 3DMark max threads at 7967. However, the measured FPS data shows that this processing power is not the limiter. For instance, at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 143.9 FPS, but at 4K Low, it drops to 62.8—a 56.4% reduction—even though the CPU’s workload is unchanged by resolution. The CPU’s nearest rivals are all within 0.6% in average score, yet the combo rank remains low, proving that the Arc B580’s 13.67 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is the ceiling. The CPU’s 87th percentile ranking versus all processors and its PassMark multi-thread score of 34293 indicate it can handle far more demanding graphics cards, but in this pairing, it is left largely idle, with frame rates dictated entirely by GPU rasterization limits.
