Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 delivers playable performance in Greedfall primarily at 1080p, with the data indicating that the "Low" settings preset is the only configuration that consistently achieves fluid frame rates across all tested resolutions. This combination ranks near the bottom of the database, placing 1635th out of 1705 tested combos, which underscores its position as a baseline setup for this Action RPG.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows a clear trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate. At 1920x1080, the "Low" preset produces an average of 71.1 FPS, which is the only result that comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold. The "Medium" preset at 1080p yields 57.3 FPS, which is still serviceable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The "High" preset at 1080p drops to 51.5 FPS, and "Ultra" falls to 35.3 FPS, indicating a steep performance penalty for the highest settings.

For users prioritizing smooth gameplay, the "Low" preset at 1080p is the recommended choice, as it provides the largest margin above playability. Alternatively, the "Medium" preset offers a balanced experience at 57.3 FPS, sacrificing roughly 14 FPS compared to "Low" but likely improving visual quality. At 2560x1440, only "Low" maintains an acceptable average of 51.7 FPS; "Medium" drops to 41.4 FPS, and "High" falls to 36.8 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 40 FPS, with "Low" averaging 30.6 FPS and "Ultra" producing just 16.2 FPS.

The data suggests that the "Medium" preset at 1080p is the optimal compromise for this hardware, delivering 57.3 FPS while avoiding the lowest quality settings. Users with 1440p displays should stick to "Low" to stay above 50 FPS, while 4K gaming is only marginally viable with the "Low" preset at 30.6 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 128.1 GB/s of bandwidth. Its TU117 chip operates at a base clock of 1485 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz, with memory running at 2001 MHz (8 Gbps effective). The GPU's 896 shading units and 32 ROPs contribute to a pixel rate of 53.28 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 93.24 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 2.984 TFLOPS.

These specifications directly explain the performance scaling observed in Greedfall. The 4 GB VRAM capacity is likely a limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings, as the frame rate drops precipitously when moving from 1080p to 1440p and further to 4K. At 1080p, the GPU maintains 71.1 FPS on "Low" but only 35.3 FPS on "Ultra," indicating that memory bandwidth and fill rate become bottlenecks as texture detail increases. The 128.1 GB/s bandwidth is modest by modern standards, which explains why 4K "Ultra" produces just 16.2 FPS.

The GTX 1650's benchmark percentile of 43 places it below the median GPU, with an average score of 8713. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile (score 8746, delta -0.4%) and the AMD Radeon 550X (score 8749, delta -0.4%), showing that the GTX 1650 is performance-adjacent to those parts. The GPU's 75 W TDP and lack of power connectors indicate it is designed for systems with modest power delivery, which aligns with its role as a low-profile entry-level card.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured averages are: "Low" 71.1 FPS, "Medium" 57.3 FPS, "High" 51.5 FPS, and "Ultra" 35.3 FPS. The step from "Medium" to "High" costs approximately 5.8 FPS, while the step from "High" to "Ultra" costs 16.2 FPS, indicating that "Ultra" imposes a disproportionately heavy load.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: "Low" 51.7 FPS, "Medium" 41.4 FPS, "High" 36.8 FPS, and "Ultra" 21.1 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p on "Low" is 19.4 FPS, while the drop on "Ultra" is 14.2 FPS. This suggests that higher settings are relatively less affected by resolution scaling, but all settings fall below 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: "Low" 30.6 FPS, "Medium" 26.9 FPS, "High" 18.4 FPS, and "Ultra" 16.2 FPS. The jump from "Low" to "Medium" costs only 3.7 FPS, but "High" drops sharply by 8.5 FPS. The "Ultra" preset at 4K produces a stutter-prone experience, with the average being less than half of the "Low" preset's value.

Comparing across resolutions, the "Low" preset shows the smallest relative decline: 71.1 FPS at 1080p, 51.7 FPS at 1440p, and 30.6 FPS at 4K. This indicates that the GTX 1650's memory subsystem is most efficient when the load is reduced, as lower settings decrease texture and shader pressure.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 ranks 1635th out of 1705 tested configurations in Greedfall. This places it in the bottom 4.1% of all combos, which is consistent with the GPU's 43rd percentile ranking among all GPUs. The CPU, by contrast, ranks in the 75th percentile among all CPUs, indicating a significant imbalance in this pairing.

The rank suggests that the GTX 1650 is the primary constraint in this system. The CPU's average benchmark score of 17489 is close to its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17482, delta 0%) and the Intel Core i5-12450H (17475, delta 0.1%). The GPU's score of 8713 is similarly close to its rivals, but the overall combo rank of 1635 indicates that Greedfall is particularly demanding on the GPU side.

For context, the combo rank means that only 70 tested configurations perform worse in this game. This is not a reflection of the CPU's capability, but rather the GPU's inability to maintain high frame rates at demanding settings. The data shows that even at 1080p "Low," the combo only achieves 71.1 FPS, which is modest by modern standards.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 2 architecture (Renoir) on a 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 8 MB of shared L3 cache and 512 KB of L2 cache per core, with dual-channel DDR4 memory support providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU, as the frame rates are consistently low across all settings. The CPU's multi-threaded performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 score of 13593, is well above what the GTX 1650 can utilize. The 3DMark max-threads score of 4889 and the Passmark multithread score of 15992 confirm that the CPU has ample headroom for this game's threading demands.

The CPU's single-thread performance, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1919, is also sufficient. The fact that frame rates drop dramatically with increasing settings and resolution points to GPU-bound scenarios rather than CPU limitations. The CPU's integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics may offer a fallback option, but the dedicated GTX 1650 provides significantly higher performance, as evidenced by the measured FPS data.

The CPU's nearest rivals, including the Intel Core i3-14100T (avg score 17636, delta -0.8%) and the Intel Core i3-13100F (avg score 17665, delta -1%), show that the 4600G is competitive in raw compute. However, in this game, the CPU's performance is largely irrelevant to the final frame rates, as the GPU's 4 GB VRAM and 128.1 GB/s bandwidth are the limiting factors. The data confirms that users should prioritize GPU upgrades over CPU upgrades for better Greedfall performance.
