Greedfall

# Greedfall — AMD Ryzen 5 3600 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

The benchmark data for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti shows a system that delivers strong performance across all tested resolutions, though the scaling pattern reveals distinct bottlenecks depending on where the workload sits. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 282.1 FPS average, while at 4K Ultra it drops to 56.6 FPS — a spread that illustrates how Greedfall responds to both CPU and GPU pressure. The combination ranks 247th out of 1705 tested combos for this game, placing it in the upper tier of configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear progression as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average is 282.1 FPS; moving to 2560x1440 Low brings that down to 203.8 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low it settles at 122.8 FPS. This represents a 56.5% drop from 1080p to 4K at the lowest settings, which suggests the GPU is still the primary scaling factor even when visual load is minimal.

At High settings, the pattern shifts. The 1080p result is 205.6 FPS, 1440p yields 143.4 FPS, and 4K produces 85.8 FPS. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is about 30%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is roughly 40%. This steeper decline at higher resolutions indicates the RTX 4070 Ti's workload becomes more dominant as pixel count rises, which is typical for a GPU with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and a 504.2 GB/s bandwidth.

The Ultra preset tells a similar story but with lower absolute numbers. At 1080p Ultra the combo averages 135.2 FPS, at 1440p Ultra it drops to 90.6 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it reaches just 56.6 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is a 58.1% reduction, which is nearly identical to the Low preset's scaling. This consistency suggests that resolution, rather than settings level, is the dominant factor in FPS variance for this configuration.

Notably, the gap between Low and Ultra at each resolution is substantial. At 1080p, the difference is 146.9 FPS (282.1 vs 135.2); at 1440p it narrows to 113.2 FPS (203.8 vs 90.6); and at 4K it compresses to 66.2 FPS (122.8 vs 56.6). This compression at higher resolutions indicates the GPU becomes the limiting component more decisively as pixel count increases, while at 1080p the CPU's role in feeding frames becomes more relevant.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node, featuring 7680 shading units and 80 ROPs. Its base clock is 2310 MHz with a boost clock of 2610 MHz, and it carries 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus. The memory runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed, yielding 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Greedfall, the GPU's performance percentile sits at 85, meaning it outperforms 85% of all GPUs in the database. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5024 and Passmark G3D score of 31624 provide synthetic reference points. The nearest rival comparisons show the RTX 4070 Ti is within 1.6% of the AMD Radeon Pro 580's average score (44195 vs 44900), and 1.5% behind the Intel Arc A730M (45592). These small deltas indicate the 4070 Ti sits in a competitive mid-to-high tier among tested GPUs.

The VRAM capacity of 12 GB is likely sufficient for Greedfall's environments at 4K Ultra, as the measured 56.6 FPS average indicates the card is not running out of memory but rather hitting compute limits. The 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 626.4 GTexel/s texture rate are the resources being taxed when settings climb from Medium to Ultra at 4K. The data shows the GPU's role is most pronounced at 4K, where the FPS differences between settings are proportionally larger relative to the pixel workload.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide clear guidance on which preset balances frame rate with visual fidelity. At 1920x1080, all presets exceed 135 FPS, so even Ultra at 135.2 FPS is playable on high-refresh displays. The Medium preset at 230.9 FPS offers headroom for competitive play, while Low at 282.1 FPS maximizes responsiveness.

At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 143.4 FPS, which is above the 144 Hz threshold for many monitors. Medium at 159.1 FPS is marginally better, but the visual quality difference between Medium and High typically justifies the 15.7 FPS cost. Ultra at 90.6 FPS remains smooth for most users, though it sacrifices the high-refresh experience.

For 3840x2160, the recommendation shifts to High as the optimal choice. The 85.8 FPS average at High is comfortably above 60 FPS, while Ultra drops to 56.6 FPS — right at the edge of standard 60 Hz displays. Medium at 93.4 FPS offers no meaningful advantage over High, and Low at 122.8 FPS reduces visual quality without a proportional FPS gain. The data suggests High at 4K is the sweet spot, providing 85.8 FPS while maintaining the preset's expected fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ranks 247th out of 1705 tested combos for Greedfall. This places it in the top 14.5% of all configurations in the database. The rank is determined by the measured FPS across all resolution and settings combinations, weighted by the game's performance characteristics.

Given that the GPU's percentile (85) is higher than the CPU's (76), the ranking reflects a system where the graphics card carries more of the performance burden. The CPU's nearest rivals — the Intel Core i5-11400, AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, AMD Ryzen 5 1600, and AMD EPYC 9274F — all have average scores within 0.3% of each other, indicating the 3600 is not a performance outlier. Instead, the RTX 4070 Ti's strong 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 5024 and Passmark G3D score of 31624 are likely the primary contributors to this high ranking.

The 1705-combo pool includes many weaker pairings, so a 247th-place finish suggests this setup is well-matched for Greedfall's demands. The gap between the combo's rank and the individual component percentiles indicates that the pairing synergizes effectively, particularly at 1440p where the FPS results are consistently above 90 across all presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, codenamed Matisse, manufactured on a 7 nm process. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, and it has 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU's TDP is 65 W, and it supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings where frame rates exceed 200 FPS. At 1080p Low, the 282.1 FPS average suggests the CPU is able to feed frames well above typical display refresh rates. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 4605 and 8-thread score of 3844 indicate the 6-core/12-thread configuration handles multithreaded workloads competently. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15045 and single-core score of 2124 provide additional context for its capability.

The CPU's percentile of 76 places it above average among all CPUs, and its average benchmark score of 18129 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-11400's 18150 (a 0.1% delta). This near-parity suggests the Ryzen 5 3600 is not holding back the RTX 4070 Ti in most scenarios. However, at 1080p Low where the GPU has less work per frame, the CPU's single-thread performance (Cinebench R20 single-core of 892) may become a limiting factor, though the 205.6 FPS at 1080p High indicates this is not a practical concern for most users.

The 12 threads allow the CPU to manage Greedfall's background tasks while maintaining consistent frame delivery. The boost clock of 4.20 GHz is adequate for the game's physics and AI calculations, and the 3.60 GHz base clock ensures stable performance in extended sessions. Overall, the data shows the CPU provides sufficient headroom for the GPU to operate near its potential across all tested resolutions.
