Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (launch MSRP $199) paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (launch MSRP 299 USD) is measured in Greedfall, an Action RPG released in 2019. This combination ranks 828th out of 1705 tested combos, placing it near the median of the database. The CPU and GPU individually rank in the 76th and 73rd percentiles of their respective categories, yet the game-specific ranking is lower, a notable observation given the component-level scores.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide a clear picture of which preset delivers the best experience at each resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 60 FPS: Low averages 187.6, Medium 150.2, High 137, and Ultra 88.8. The Ultra preset remains comfortably above 60 FPS, so it is the recommended choice for 1080p users who want maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness. The gap between High and Ultra is 48.2 FPS, indicating that Ultra is not a marginal step but a substantial quality increase that still leaves headroom.

At 2560x1440, the situation tightens. Low delivers 134.1 FPS, Medium 103.5, High 95.8, and Ultra 62.4. Ultra just clears the 60 FPS threshold, but the margin is thin. High, at 95.8 FPS, offers a much larger safety margin while still providing high-quality visuals. For a 1440p display, High is the best balance: it is 33.4 FPS faster than Ultra and only 7.7 FPS slower than Medium. Users who prioritize frame rate over the last few visual effects may prefer Medium, but High is the recommended preset for a consistent experience.

At 3840x2160, the data shows a steep drop. Low averages 77.1 FPS, Medium 61.7, High 55.4, and Ultra 35.8. Medium is the highest preset that maintains an average above 60 FPS, making it the only viable option for 4K gaming with this combo. High falls below 60, and Ultra is far from playable. The step from Medium to High costs 6.3 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 19.6 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset imposes a disproportionate load at 4K. Therefore, for 4K, Medium is the recommended setting; for 1440p, High; for 1080p, Ultra.

GPU Role

The RTX 5060's memory subsystem is defined by 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 2280 MHz, with a boost clock of 2497 MHz. These specifications are the only memory and clock data available, and they correlate with the measured FPS pattern. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 35.8, the lowest of any tested setting. The sharp decline from High (55.4) to Ultra (35.8) at 4K suggests that the Ultra preset's additional memory pressure or shading complexity exceeds what the 8 GB frame buffer can comfortably handle. While the data does not include VRAM usage, the 19.6 FPS penalty for moving from High to Ultra at 4K is the largest single-setting delta in the entire dataset, pointing to a memory or bandwidth bottleneck at the highest resolution and quality level.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 30109, placing it in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, has a delta of 0%, meaning the two are statistically identical in synthetic tests. In Greedfall, the GPU's performance at 1080p is strong—even Ultra reaches 88.8 FPS—but the 4K results show that the 8 GB memory capacity and 128-bit bus become limiting factors as pixel count rises. The boost clock of 2497 MHz is the highest clock rate in the GPU's specification, and the measured FPS scaling across resolutions is consistent with a GPU-bound workload at higher pixel counts.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 828 out of 1705 places it at the 48.6th percentile of all tested combinations in Greedfall. This is notably lower than the individual component percentiles: the CPU ranks in the 76th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. The discrepancy suggests that Greedfall's performance is not solely determined by these two components; other factors such as memory configuration, driver overhead, or game-specific engine behavior may play a role. The CPU's average benchmark score is 18129, with its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-11400, showing a delta of -0.1%—essentially a tie. The GPU's average score of 30109 is within 0.6% of its nearest rivals, including the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (0% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (0.6% delta). Thus, both components are near the top of their respective synthetic benchmarks, yet the game-specific ranking falls to the median, indicating that Greedfall may be more sensitive to other system attributes.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values from the FACT PACK:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 55.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 77.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 61.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 35.8 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 95.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 134.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 103.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 62.4 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 137 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 187.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 150.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 88.8 |

At 1080p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 98.8 FPS, with Ultra still delivering 88.8 FPS. At 1440p, the spread narrows to 71.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 62.4. At 4K, the spread is 41.3 FPS, and Ultra falls to 35.8. The data shows that the relative cost of Ultra increases with resolution: at 1080p, Ultra is 35.2% slower than High (137 vs 88.8); at 1440p, it is 34.9% slower (95.8 vs 62.4); at 4K, it is 35.4% slower (55.4 vs 35.8). The consistency of this percentage suggests that the Ultra preset imposes a similar relative load across resolutions, but the absolute FPS at 4K becomes unplayable.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component. For High settings, the average FPS goes from 137 at 1080p to 95.8 at 1440p, a 30.1% reduction, and then to 55.4 at 4K, a further 42.2% reduction from 1440p. Low settings show a similar pattern: 187.6 to 134.1 (28.5% drop) and then to 77.1 (42.5% drop). Medium: 150.2 to 103.5 (31.1% drop) and then to 61.7 (40.4% drop). Ultra: 88.8 to 62.4 (29.7% drop) and then to 35.8 (42.6% drop). Across all presets, the drop from 1440p to 4K is consistently larger than the drop from 1080p to 1440p, with the 4K step costing roughly 40-43% of the 1440p FPS, while the 1440p step costs about 28-31% of the 1080p FPS.

This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload at higher resolutions. The pixel count increases by 2.25x from 1080p to 1440p and by 2.25x from 1440p to 4K, but the FPS drops are not proportional—the 4K step is disproportionately expensive. This suggests that the GPU's memory bandwidth (448.0 GB/s) and 8 GB capacity become increasingly strained as resolution rises, while the CPU's 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz is sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the high FPS values (up to 187.6 on Low) indicate that the CPU is not the primary limiter; the GPU is able to render frames quickly. As resolution increases, the GPU's fill rate and memory subsystem become the bottleneck, as evidenced by the steep 4K scaling. The data does not include CPU utilization, but the consistent scaling pattern across all settings strongly points to the GPU as the limiting component at 4K, while the CPU remains capable at 1080p and 1440p.
