CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3 processor from the Ryzen 5000 series. It runs at a 3.50 GHz base clock and a 4.40 GHz boost clock, with a 65 W TDP. The chip uses the AMD Socket AM4 and is built on TSMC's 7 nm process. Cache is 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. Memory support is DDR4 on a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth.

In the measured Barony rows, the highest averages appear at the Low preset: 316.8 FPS at 1920x1080, 201.5 FPS at 2560x1440, and 104.1 FPS at 3840x2160. Because the CPU is the same component in every row, the progression from 104.1 at 2160p Low to 316.8 at 1080p Low shows that the CPU has enough headroom to feed very high frame rates when the load is reduced. Single-thread results support this: the CPU scores 882 in 3DMark single-thread, 2584 in Cinebench R23 single-core, and 3256 in PassMark single-thread. Multithreaded results are also substantial, with 3DMark max threads at 5659, Cinebench R23 multicore at 18309, and PassMark multithread at 21541.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 21765 places it in the 79th percentile. Its nearest rivals all sit within a narrow band: the Intel Xeon D-1746TER averages 21635, the AMD EPYC 9554P averages 21899, the AMD EPYC 9534 averages 21900, and the Intel Core i7-11700F averages 21957. That puts the Ryzen effectively on par with a group of much larger enterprise and desktop parts, and it explains why this 6-core chip is not the limiting factor in most Barony settings tested.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is a GeForce 20-series card built on the Turing architecture. It uses the TU104 chip manufactured on TSMC's 12 nm process, with 13,600 million transistors and a 545 mm² die. The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s bandwidth. Clock speeds are 1605 MHz base, 1770 MHz boost, and 1750 MHz memory, listed as 14 Gbps effective. The shader setup includes 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, 40 RT cores, and 320 tensor cores, with FP32 throughput of 9.062 TFLOPS.

The Barony results show clear preset scaling. At 3840x2160, average FPS moves from 104.1 on Low to 75.5 on Medium, 64.8 on High, and 49.5 on Ultra. At 2560x1440, the same preset steps produce 201.5, 147.7, 129.9, and 89.7 FPS. At 1920x1080, they produce 316.8, 232.9, 199.9, and 145.1 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the single heaviest row in the set, and the 1080p Low result is the lightest, so the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as resolution and quality settings increase.

In synthetic terms, the RTX 2070 SUPER scores an average of 22206, placing it in the 65th percentile. Its nearest rivals are the RTX A400 at 22307, the GTX TITAN Z at 22006, the RTX 4060 Mobile at 22729, and the RX 5700 at 21670. The GPU is within a few percentage points of all four in average benchmark score, which is consistent with the measured FPS results showing a capable mid-range card rather than an outlier in either direction.

How This Combo Ranks

The Ryzen 5 5600 + RTX 2070 SUPER pairing ranks 1063 out of 1702 tested combos in Barony. That places the combination below the midpoint of the database, even though the individual components rank higher in their own categories: the CPU at the 79th percentile and the GPU at the 65th percentile. The combo rank compares this exact CPU+GPU pairing against every other tested pairing in the game, so the positions do not map one-to-one.

Absolute frame rates are still high across most tested rows. The only average below 64.8 FPS is the 3840x2160 Ultra result of 49.5 FPS. At 1920x1080, every preset stays above 145.1 FPS, and at 2560x1440 every preset stays above 89.7 FPS. The rank therefore reflects relative standing among many combinations rather than a playability problem in Barony.

Settings Recommendations

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best row for visual quality because it still averages 145.1 FPS, which is well above the Low preset’s 316.8? No, it is lower, but it remains the strongest combination of quality and speed in the measured 1080p set. High at 199.9 and Medium at 232.9 are progressively faster options if frame rate headroom matters more than maximum quality, and Low at 316.8 is the fastest measured row for the entire combo.

At 2560x1440, High is the most balanced preset, averaging 129.9 FPS. Ultra drops to 89.7 FPS, which is still smooth, but High keeps more margin while preserving most of the visual settings. Medium at 147.7 is the better choice for higher refresh rate displays, and Low at 201.5 is the fastest 1440p row measured.

For 3840x2160, High is the recommended ceiling. It averages 64.8 FPS, while Ultra falls to 49.5 FPS. If the target is extra smoothness at 4K, Medium delivers 75.5 FPS, and Low delivers 104.1 FPS at the cost of visual detail. The data points to High as the best experience for this combo at 4K, with Ultra reserved only for situations where the lower average is acceptable.
