How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested configurations for Greedfall, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti achieves a rank of 898 out of 1705 combos. This position places it just past the midpoint of all tested systems, indicating that while it is not a top-tier enthusiast setup, it provides a solid foundation for playing the game. The ranking reflects a balance between the CPU's 76th percentile standing among all processors and the GPU's 69th percentile among all graphics cards, suggesting that neither component is a significant outlier that would drastically skew the overall system performance in this title.

The CPU's performance profile shows it is closely matched with several rivals, with a benchmark score of 18129. This is a negligible 0.1% behind the Intel Core i5-11400 and a 0.2% lead over the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS. This indicates that the processor is well within the expected performance band for its class and is not a source of unusual bottlenecking. The GPU, with an average score of 25120, is similarly well-positioned, trailing the AMD Radeon RX 6700M by a mere 0.2%. The data implies that the combo's overall rank is a product of consistent, mainstream-level performance from both components, rather than any exceptional strength or weakness in either part.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the primary driver of graphical fidelity in this pairing. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for the texture and geometry data required by Greedfall at high settings. The GPU's memory clock is listed as 1750 MHz, running at 14 Gbps effective. The card operates at a base clock of 1410 MHz with a boost clock of 1665 MHz, and these clocks, combined with 4864 shading units, determine the raw processing throughput for pixel and vertex operations.

The performance scaling in the measured data directly reflects the GPU's workload. At 1080p High, the GPU produces 135.3 FPS, but this drops to 85.2 FPS at Ultra settings, a difference of 50.1 FPS. This shows that the GPU's computational resources are heavily taxed by the increased draw distances and effects of the Ultra preset. At 4K, the GPU is the clear limiting factor, as even at Low settings it only manages 75 FPS, and at Ultra it falls to 34.2 FPS. This indicates that the 8 GB VRAM and compute capabilities of the RTX 3060 Ti are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at 4K with maximal settings, making the GPU the definitive performance ceiling for this combo in Greedfall.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates reveal a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo is highly capable, delivering an average of 184.6 FPS on Low, 145.8 FPS on Medium, and 135.3 FPS on High. The jump to Ultra settings incurs a significant performance hit, resulting in an average of 85.2 FPS. This demonstrates that for competitive or high-refresh-rate play, users would likely favor High settings, while Ultra is still playable but with a substantial frame rate cost.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong. The Low preset yields 128.3 FPS, Medium provides 101.6 FPS, and High settings produce a very playable 93.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p brings the average down to 60.9 FPS, which is right at the threshold for smooth gameplay. This resolution appears to be a sweet spot for the combo, offering a good balance between visual quality and performance. At 3840x2160, the hardware begins to struggle. The average FPS on Low is 75, which is still fluid, and Medium settings manage 60.1 FPS. However, High settings drop to 52.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to a less desirable 34.2 FPS, making 4K play only viable with reduced settings.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and highlights the GPU-bound nature of this combo in Greedfall. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 135.3 FPS at 1080p to 93.1 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 42.2 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is even more severe, with the frame rate falling to 52.6 FPS, a further reduction of 40.5 FPS. This pattern is consistent across all settings, with the scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution showing the GPU's workload increasing faster than the resolution change alone.

This scaling behavior indicates that the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is providing sufficient processing power to feed the RTX 3060 Ti at 1080p and 1440p. The consistent frame rate drops when increasing resolution point directly to the GPU as the primary bottleneck. The 4K Ultra result of 34.2 FPS, which is only 18.2% of the 1080p Low result, underscores that the RTX 3060 Ti's compute and memory bandwidth are exhausted at that extreme configuration. The data strongly suggests that for a smoother 4K experience, a more powerful GPU would be necessary, whereas the CPU would not be the limiting factor in that scenario.
