Greedfall

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER reveals a pronounced resolution sensitivity that shifts as settings climb. At 1080p High, the combo delivers 197.5 FPS average; stepping to 1440p High drops that to 140 FPS, a 29% reduction, and 4K High lands at 82.5 FPS, another 41% lower. This steep scaling curve is typical of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, where the RTX 4070 SUPER's rendering load grows faster than the CPU can feed frames.

However, the pattern inverts at Low settings. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 245.6 FPS, but 1440p Low still manages 193.5 FPS—only a 21% decline—and 4K Low holds 115.6 FPS. The smaller percentage drops at Low settings indicate that the CPU begins to constrain performance earlier, particularly at 1080p where the frame rate ceiling is highest. The gap between 1080p Low and 4K Low is 130 FPS, whereas the same resolution gap at High settings is 115 FPS, suggesting that at Low presets the Ryzen 5 2600's six cores become a more significant factor.

The Ultra preset tells a different story. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 127 FPS; 1440p Ultra falls to 85.8 FPS; 4K Ultra bottoms out at 53.8 FPS. The Ultra scaling from 1080p to 1440p is a 32% drop, and from 1440p to 4K another 37%. This consistent degradation points squarely at the GPU as the limiting component at Ultra, where the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB frame buffer and shading resources are taxed heavily by Greedfall's effects. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the system falls below 60 FPS, which is notable for a card that otherwise dominates at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this CPU-GPU pairing ranks 326th out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the top 19% of all configurations. That percentile position is strong, but it undersells the raw performance on display—the measured FPS at 1080p High (197.5) and 1440p High (140) are both well above playable thresholds, and even 4K High at 82.5 FPS is smooth. The rank reflects the entire combo's standing against systems with newer CPUs and higher-end GPUs, yet the data indicates this pairing punches above its positional weight in Greedfall specifically.

The CPU's own benchmark standing provides context. The Ryzen 5 2600 sits at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19616. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-1345U (19691, 0.4% higher), the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (19508, 0.6% lower), the Intel Core i5-11600KF (19740, 0.6% higher), and the Intel Core i7-10700F (19485, 0.7% lower). These deltas are all within a single percentage point, meaning the Ryzen 5 2600's compute performance is essentially tied with those contemporaries. For Greedfall, that mid-pack CPU strength translates to a combo that ranks better than its individual components might suggest, because the GPU carries the heavier load at higher resolutions.

The GPU's percentile is 84 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (42653, 0.2% higher), AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (42723, 0.3% higher), AMD Radeon Pro 580X (41991, 1.4% lower), and NVIDIA Tesla M40 (41897, 1.6% lower). The RTX 4070 SUPER is effectively neck-and-neck with those competitors on aggregate benchmarks, but in Greedfall it demonstrates a clear edge at 1080p and 1440p where frame rates exceed 140 FPS on High. The combo's 326th rank is thus a function of the CPU dragging the average down slightly, not a reflection of weak GPU performance in this title.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a six-core, twelve-thread processor from the 2000 series, built on the Zen architecture at a 12 nm process node. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz with a boost clock of 3.90 GHz, and it supports DDR4 memory over a dual-channel bus with 46.9 GB/s bandwidth. In Greedfall, a 2019 Action RPG, the CPU's role is to maintain a steady frame pipeline, and the data shows it does so competently up to a point. At 1080p Low, the system hits 245.6 FPS, which is near the practical ceiling for many displays, indicating the CPU can feed frames rapidly when the GPU is not heavily loaded.

However, the CPU's limitations emerge when comparing Low to Medium settings at 1080p. The jump from Low (245.6 FPS) to Medium (219.2 FPS) is only an 11% drop, but the jump from Medium to High (197.5 FPS) is another 10%. This gradual decline suggests the GPU is taking on more work, but the CPU's single-thread performance—evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1579—becomes a bottleneck at the highest frame rates. The Ryzen 5 2600's multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score of 11186 is respectable, but Greedfall's engine favors fewer, faster cores, and the 3.90 GHz boost clock is modest by modern standards.

The CPU's cache hierarchy—96 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3—is adequate for a game of this era, but the data shows that at 1440p and 4K, the CPU's influence wanes. At 1440p High, the frame rate is 140 FPS, and the difference between Low and High at that resolution is 43.5 FPS (193.5 vs 150.2). At 4K, the gap between Low and High narrows further to 33.1 FPS (115.6 vs 82.5). This pattern confirms that as resolution rises, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint, and the Ryzen 5 2600's six cores are sufficient to avoid severe stutter or frame pacing issues. The CPU's 77th percentile standing among all CPUs is reflected in these results—it is not a weak link, but it is also not a strength.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 SUPER paired with the Ryzen 5 2600 delivers a wide spread of results. Low settings average 245.6 FPS, Medium drops to 219.2 FPS, High reaches 197.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 127 FPS. The delta from Low to Ultra is 118.6 FPS, a 48% reduction, which demonstrates that Greedfall's Ultra preset imposes a significant load on the GPU even at 1080p. The Medium-to-High gap of 21.7 FPS is smaller than the High-to-Ultra gap of 70.5 FPS, indicating that Ultra settings introduce disproportionately heavy effects—likely shadows, ambient occlusion, and draw distance—that hammer the GPU.

At 2560x1440, the numbers scale down predictably. Low settings average 193.5 FPS, Medium 150.2 FPS, High 140 FPS, and Ultra 85.8 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low is 52.1 FPS (245.6 to 193.5), while at Ultra it is 41.2 FPS (127 to 85.8). This smaller absolute drop at Ultra suggests that the GPU is already heavily loaded at 1080p Ultra, so the additional pixel count at 1440p has a proportionally smaller impact on the frame rate. The 1440p Medium result of 150.2 FPS is notably close to the 1440p High result of 140 FPS, a mere 10.2 FPS difference, which implies that the Medium-to-High transition at this resolution is less demanding than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the system remains playable but with clear strain. Low settings average 115.6 FPS, Medium 93 FPS, High 82.5 FPS, and Ultra 53.8 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only sub-60 FPS figure in the entire dataset, and it falls 28.7 FPS short of the 4K High result. The gap between 4K Medium (93 FPS) and 4K High (82.5 FPS) is 10.5 FPS, while the gap from High to Ultra is 28.7 FPS, again highlighting Ultra as a steep performance cliff. Across all resolutions, the data shows that High settings offer the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate, with 4K High hitting 82.5 FPS and 1440p High hitting 140 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with an AD104 chip at a 5 nm process node. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and its boost clock is rated at 2475 MHz with a base of 1980 MHz. With 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, the GPU is a substantial piece of silicon, and Greedfall's results reflect that capability. The GPU's 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs is backed by its Passmark G3D score of 29995 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4627.

In Greedfall, the GPU's 12 GB VRAM is a decisive asset at 4K, where textures and effects demand large frame buffers. The measured data shows that at 4K High, the system maintains 82.5 FPS, which is smooth for a 2019 title, and 4K Medium holds 93 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 53.8 FPS, indicating that the GPU's 80 ROPs and 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute are pushed to their limits by the game's highest settings. The RTX 4070 SUPER's memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is ample for Greedfall's data streaming, as evidenced by the consistent frame rates across resolution changes.

The GPU's aggregate benchmark score of 42576 places it just 0.2% behind the NVIDIA RTX A6000 and 0.3% behind the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE, yet in Greedfall it outperforms what those rival scores might predict. The 1080p High result of 197.5 FPS and 1440p High result of 140 FPS are both excellent, and the 4K High result of 82.5 FPS is well above the 60 FPS threshold. The GPU's role is clearly dominant in this pairing, as the frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K follows the GPU's rendering workload closely, particularly at Medium and High settings. Only at Low settings and 1080p does the CPU begin to limit the system, where the GPU's massive headroom is constrained by the Ryzen 5 2600's six cores.
