Barony

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and AMD Radeon RX 7600 combination posts a 1147th-place finish out of 1702 tested combos in Barony, a roguelike that rewards consistent frame pacing. The CPU, a 6-core/12-thread Zen part with a 3.40 GHz base and 3.90 GHz boost, sits at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU, an RDNA 3.0 card with 8 GB of GDDR6, holds the 63rd percentile among all GPUs. The measured FPS data, captured across three resolutions and four quality presets, shows a system that is capable but not exceptional in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1147 out of 1702 places it in the lower portion of the field, despite the individual components scoring above average in their respective pools. The Ryzen 5 2600’s average benchmark score of 19616 is within 0.7% of its four nearest rivals: it trails the Intel Core i5-1345U by 0.4% and the Core i5-11600KF by 0.6%, while leading the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U by 0.6% and the Intel Core i7-10700F by 0.7%. The Radeon RX 7600’s average score of 20258 is similarly tight against its nearest competitors: it is 0.6% ahead of the RX 7600 XT, 0.8% ahead of the RX 460, 1.3% behind the RTX 3070 Mobile, and 1.5% behind the Intel Arc B570. These narrow deltas suggest that the combo’s low rank in Barony is not due to a single weak component, but rather to the game’s specific demands and the combination’s overall balance. The CPU’s 77th percentile and GPU’s 63rd percentile indicate that the processor is relatively stronger than the graphics card, which may influence performance scaling at higher resolutions. The fact that the CPU’s nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of its score reinforces that the Ryzen 5 2600 is a well-matched mid-range part, while the GPU’s rivals span a 1.5% range, showing that the RX 7600 sits in a competitive cluster. In Barony, this pairing lands in the bottom third of all tested combos, a result that aligns with the GPU’s lower percentile relative to the CPU.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent and steep drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 292.7 at 1080p to 184.8 at 1440p and 94.4 at 4K. Medium settings see 213 at 1080p, 135.7 at 1440p, and 73.2 at 4K. High settings produce 182.9, 119, and 59.6 respectively. Ultra settings yield 135 at 1080p, 85.7 at 1440p, and 45.9 at 4K. In every preset, the 4K average is less than half of the 1080p average, indicating that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as pixel count rises. The absolute spread between Low and Ultra narrows with resolution: at 1080p the gap is 157.7 FPS (292.7 minus 135), while at 4K it is 48.5 FPS (94.4 minus 45.9). This pattern suggests that at 1080p the CPU has more headroom to push frame rates, but at 4K the GPU’s workload dominates, compressing the difference between quality presets. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is comparable in magnitude to the drop from 1440p to 4K at most settings—for example, at High the 1080p-to-1440p decline is 63.9 FPS, while the 1440p-to-4K decline is 59.4 FPS. This near-linear scaling points to a GPU that is consistently taxed as resolution climbs, rather than a sudden cliff at any single step. The data also shows that even at 4K Ultra, the combo maintains an average above 45 FPS, which is playable for a roguelike but not high-refresh territory.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full set of measured averages is as follows. At 1920x1080, Low settings deliver 292.7 FPS, Medium 213, High 182.9, and Ultra 135. At 2560x1440, the averages are 184.8 for Low, 135.7 for Medium, 119 for High, and 85.7 for Ultra. At 3840x2160, Low averages 94.4, Medium 73.2, High 59.6, and Ultra 45.9. No minimum or maximum frame times are reported in the data, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows a consistent penalty: at 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra costs 157.7 FPS; at 1440p, the cost is 99.1 FPS (184.8 minus 85.7); at 4K, the cost is 48.5 FPS. These numbers illustrate how the GPU’s rendering load scales with both resolution and quality settings. The 1080p Low result of 292.7 FPS is the highest average in the entire set, while the 4K Ultra result of 45.9 FPS is the lowest. The combo is clearly capable of high refresh rates at 1080p with reduced settings, but at 4K it settles into the 45-95 FPS range depending on quality. The 1440p results sit in a comfortable middle ground, with all presets exceeding 85 FPS, making 1440p the sweet spot for this pairing if a 144 Hz display is the target. The data set is measured, not estimated, and the absence of min/max values means that frame-time consistency cannot be assessed, but the averages provide a clear picture of overall throughput.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 7600’s specifications directly inform the measured performance. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s base clock is 1720 MHz, with a game clock of 2250 MHz and a boost clock of 2655 MHz. The memory runs at 2250 MHz, which translates to 18 Gbps effective. The card has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. Its pixel rate is 169.9 GPixel/s, texture rate is 339.8 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance is 21.75 TFLOPS. These figures place the RX 7600 in the 63rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20258. In the context of Barony, the 8 GB frame buffer is sufficient for the tested settings, as the game’s highest resolution and quality preset (4K Ultra) still averages 45.9 FPS without any reported memory-related issues. The GPU’s nearest rivals in the benchmark database are the RX 7600 XT (0.6% slower), RX 460 (0.8% slower), RTX 3070 Mobile (1.3% faster), and Intel Arc B570 (1.5% faster). The tight margins between these cards suggest that the RX 7600’s performance in Barony is representative of its overall standing. The boost clock of 2655 MHz is the highest clock figure in the GPU’s spec sheet, and it likely contributes to the strong 1080p results, where the combo exceeds 180 FPS at High settings. At 4K, the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute throughput become the limiting factors, as evidenced by the sub-60 FPS averages at High and Ultra. The 128-bit memory bus, while narrower than some competitors, is paired with a high effective speed of 18 Gbps to reach 288.0 GB/s, which is adequate for the game’s demands at 1440p and below. The GPU’s 32 ray tracing cores are present, but Barony does not appear to leverage them, as the performance scaling follows a traditional rasterization pattern. Overall, the RX 7600’s role in this combo is to provide solid 1080p and 1440p performance, with 4K playable only at lower quality presets.
