How This Combo Ranks

The data places this CPU-GPU pairing at rank 109 out of 1,705 combinations tested in Greedfall. That is a top-tier position, but not the very top — there are 108 configurations that achieve higher average FPS in this game. The ranking reflects the balance between a six-core, twelve-thread CPU from the 2000 series and a flagship Blackwell GPU.

The Ryzen 5 2600 holds a 77th percentile standing among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19,616. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the Intel Core i5-1345U scores 19,691 (0.4% higher), the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 19,508 (0.6% lower), and the Intel Core i7-10700F scores 19,485 (0.7% lower). This CPU is not a bottleneck in the traditional sense, but it is a mid-range part from 2018.

The RTX 5090, by contrast, sits in the 94th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 84,306. Its nearest rivals include the RTX 5090 D (84,241, 0.1% lower) and the AMD Radeon PRO W6600 (83,209, 1.3% lower). The GPU is clearly the dominant component in this pairing.

The rank of 109th out of 1,705 suggests that the combo is held back somewhat by the CPU, but not severely. In a game like Greedfall, which is an Action RPG from 2019, the RTX 5090 has ample headroom even at 4K. The measured FPS data confirms this: at 3840x2160 High, the combo still averages 105.2 FPS, which is well above typical monitor refresh rates.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern across all three resolutions: Low settings deliver the highest frame rates, Medium comes next, then High, and Ultra is the most demanding. At 1920x1080, the spread is relatively narrow: Low averages 249.9 FPS, Medium 225.9 FPS, High 218.8 FPS, and Ultra 165.8 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the same order holds but the gap widens. Low averages 218.1 FPS, Medium 199.1 FPS, High 180.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 112.6 FPS. At 3840x2160, the differences become more pronounced: Low hits 150.8 FPS, Medium 120.9 FPS, High 105.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 67.2 FPS.

For the best experience, the data suggests that High settings at 2560x1440 (180.1 FPS) offer an excellent balance between visual quality and performance. If the user prioritizes maximum frame rates, Low at 1920x1080 (249.9 FPS) is the fastest option. Ultra at 3840x2160 (67.2 FPS) is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes.

The most compelling recommendation is High at 2560x1440, which provides a 60% improvement over Ultra at the same resolution (180.1 vs 112.6 FPS) while still delivering high visual fidelity. For those with 4K displays, High at 3840x2160 (105.2 FPS) is the sweet spot, as it stays above 100 FPS while Ultra drops below 70 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers consistently high frame rates across all settings. Low averages 249.9 FPS, Medium 225.9 FPS, High 218.8 FPS, and Ultra 165.8 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 84.1 FPS, or about 51% faster on Low.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but the gap between settings grows. Low averages 218.1 FPS, Medium 199.1 FPS, High 180.1 FPS, and Ultra 112.6 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra is 67.5 FPS, which is a 60% reduction in frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the scaling is more dramatic. Low averages 150.8 FPS, Medium 120.9 FPS, High 105.2 FPS, and Ultra 67.2 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 83.6 FPS, and Ultra is the only setting that falls below 100 FPS at this resolution.

The data shows a consistent pattern: increasing resolution and settings both reduce frame rates, but the CPU's influence becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo reaches 249.9 FPS, which suggests the CPU is near its limit; at 3840x2160 Ultra, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, with the frame rate dropping to 67.2 FPS.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain why. It features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The boost clock runs at 2407 MHz, with a base clock of 2017 MHz. The GPU has 21,760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs.

In Greedfall, the GPU's role is evident in the 4K results. At 3840x2160, the frame rate scales predictably with settings: Low (150.8 FPS), Medium (120.9 FPS), High (105.2 FPS), and Ultra (67.2 FPS). The 32 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for this game, which was released in 2019 and does not require massive memory allocations.

The GPU's 94th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms its position as a top-tier part. Its average benchmark score of 84,306 is within 1.3% of the AMD Radeon PRO W6600 (83,209) and 1.6% higher than the NVIDIA CMP 40HX (85,637). The RTX 5090 D is the closest rival at 84,241, a 0.1% difference.

The data indicates that the GPU is not the bottleneck in this combo, even at 4K Ultra. The frame rate at 3840x2160 Ultra (67.2 FPS) is respectable, and the GPU has enough headroom to push higher at lower settings.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 2600 is a six-core, twelve-thread processor from AMD's 2000 series, based on the Zen+ architecture (Pinnacle Ridge). It runs at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts to 3.90 GHz, with 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU has a 65 W TDP and supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration, with a bandwidth of 46.9 GB/s.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role becomes apparent at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo reaches 249.9 FPS, which is the highest measured result. This suggests the CPU is approaching its limit around 250 FPS, as the GPU could theoretically push higher if the CPU allowed it. At 1920x1080 Ultra, the frame rate drops to 165.8 FPS, indicating that the game's CPU load increases with settings.

The CPU's benchmark data shows it is a mid-range part. It scores 1,127 in Cinebench R15 multi-core and 159 in single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 11,186 multi-core and 1,579 single-core. Its PassMark multithread score is 13,160, and single-thread score is 2,239. The CPU sits in the 77th percentile of all CPUs.

The nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of the Ryzen 5 2600's average score of 19,616. This indicates that the CPU is well-matched with other mid-range parts, but it is not a high-end processor. In Greedfall, the CPU does not appear to be a significant bottleneck at 4K, but it does limit frame rates at 1080p.
