How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame field shows a rank of 174 out of 1705 tested combos. This places the system in the top 10.2% of all configurations tested for Greedfall. A rank this high indicates that the pairing of the Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 5070 Ti is well-balanced for the game’s engine. The game appears to scale well with both CPU and GPU resources, and this combination does not leave major performance on the table.

Compared to other pairings, this combo is in a strong position. The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus is 76, meaning it outperforms 76% of all tested CPUs in the database. The GPU's percentileVsAllGpus is 87, meaning it outperforms 87% of all tested GPUs. When combined, the system's rank of 174 out of 1705 is higher than what either component's percentile alone would suggest, implying that the pairing is synergistic for this specific game. The CPU is not a major bottleneck, and the GPU is able to stretch its legs, especially at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing for Greedfall. It is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and features 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for loading high-resolution textures and maintaining smooth frame pacing.

The GPU's clock speeds are significant: a base of 2295 MHz and a boost of 2452 MHz. These clocks, combined with a pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s, allow the card to push very high frame rates. Its FP32 performance is rated at 43.94 TFLOPS, which is a measure of raw compute power. The GPU's 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores are present but are not heavily utilized in this title, which is an older Action RPG. The data shows that the GPU has a PassMark G3D score of 32974 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6604, both of which are strong indicators of its rasterization performance.

The GPU's role is most evident at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra settings, the average FPS is 55.8, which is a demanding load. The GPU's 16 GB VRAM is also a key factor; at 4K resolution with Ultra textures, the memory capacity prevents stuttering and texture pop-in. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s is sufficient to feed the 96 ROPs, ensuring that the pixel fill rate is not a bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance across different settings and resolutions.

• 1080p: At Low settings, the combo achieves 287.1 FPS. Moving to Medium drops this to 243 FPS. High settings yield 216.3 FPS, while Ultra settings produce 141.7 FPS. These are all extremely high frame rates, suitable for the fastest refresh rate monitors.

• 1440p: At Low settings, the average is 211.8 FPS. Medium settings produce 164.6 FPS. High settings deliver 152.8 FPS, and Ultra settings show 95.1 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is significant, but 95.1 FPS at Ultra is still very smooth.

• 4K: At Low settings, the average FPS is 122.6. Medium settings drop to 100.8 FPS. High settings yield 87.4 FPS, and Ultra settings bring the average down to 55.8 FPS. This shows that 4K Ultra is the most demanding configuration, but the system remains playable.

The delta between Low and Ultra settings is largest at 1080p (287.1 FPS vs 141.7 FPS, a drop of 50.6%). At 4K, the delta between Low and Ultra is 66.8 FPS (122.6 vs 55.8, a drop of 54.5%). This indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU becomes a larger factor, while at higher resolutions the GPU load dominates.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling across resolutions shows a clear trend. At 1080p High, the average is 216.3 FPS. Moving to 1440p High, the average is 152.8 FPS, a drop of 29.4%. Moving to 4K High, the average is 87.4 FPS, a drop of 42.8% from 1440p. This scaling is not linear, and the large drop at 4K indicates the GPU is being pushed to its limits.

The same pattern holds for Ultra settings: 141.7 FPS at 1080p, 95.1 FPS at 1440p (a drop of 32.9%), and 55.8 FPS at 4K (a drop of 41.3% from 1440p). The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is fairly consistent, but the 4K step is more punishing. This is typical of a GPU-bound scenario at 4K, where the 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth and the 96 ROPs are working at full capacity.

The fact that the 1080p Low setting hits 287.1 FPS suggests that the CPU is the limiting factor at that resolution. The Ryzen 5 3600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is able to feed the GPU enough data to reach those frame rates, but it likely cannot go much higher. The scaling from 1080p to 4K shows the GPU taking over as the primary bottleneck. The system is clearly GPU-bound at 4K, as the frame rates are heavily dependent on the GPU's raw pixel throughput.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is the less glamorous but essential partner in this pairing. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, based on the Zen 2 architecture. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz, boosting up to 4.20 GHz. While this is an older CPU, its multi-threaded performance is still respectable. Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 15045, and its 3DMark max threads score is 4603.

The CPU’s role in Greedfall is to maintain a steady frame supply to the GPU. At 1080p, the CPU is the bottleneck. The 3DMark single-thread score of 696 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2124 show that single-thread performance is a limiting factor at high frame rates. The game struggles to push past 287.1 FPS at 1080p Low, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame generation capability.

At higher resolutions, the CPU's workload becomes less demanding relative to the GPU. At 4K, the GPU is the clear bottleneck, and the CPU is able to keep up. The CPU's PassMark multithread score of 17700 and its 3DMark 16-thread score of 4605 indicate that it has enough multi-threading headroom to handle the game's logic and AI tasks without causing frame drops.

The CPU's nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-11400, has an average score of 18150, which is a delta of -0.1%, meaning the two are virtually tied in synthetic benchmarks. The Ryzen 5 3600's percentileVsAllCpus of 76 means it is in the top quarter of all CPUs tested. While it is not a top-tier processor, it is more than sufficient to pair with the RTX 5070 Ti for this game, as evidenced by the high combo rank. The data suggests that the CPU is not holding back the GPU at 1440p and 4K resolutions, making it a well-matched pairing.
