Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a solid, if not spectacular, showing in Greedfall, a 2019 Action RPG. The measured data places this combination at rank 2150 out of 3703 tested combos, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. This pairing leverages a 6-core, 12-thread CPU from the 4000 series, built on a 7 nm process, paired with a 12 nm Turing GPU that has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. The benchmark results reveal a system that can handle the game comfortably at 1080p and 1440p, but which faces significant strain when pushed to 4K Ultra settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 2150 out of 3703 tested combinations places it within the 58th percentile of all tested combos tracked by this database. This is a mid-tier placement, indicating that while this pairing is far from the top of the performance spectrum, it is also not a baseline performer. The percentileVsAllCpus for the Ryzen 5 4600G is 71, meaning this CPU outperforms 71% of all CPUs in standard benchmarks. The GPU’s percentileVsAllGpus is 65, meaning it outperforms 65% of all GPUs. The combination of a 71st-percentile CPU and a 65th-percentile GPU does not simply average out to the combo's 58th-percentile rank, which suggests that the game's performance is heavily influenced by the GPU, and the CPU’s headroom is not fully utilized.

When looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE sits just 0.1% ahead, while the Intel Core 7 150U is 0.6% behind. The Intel Core i3-14100T trails by 0.8%. These are very close margins, showing the 4600G is in a highly competitive CPU performance bracket. For the GPU, the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M is 1% faster, while the RTX 3070 Mobile is 1.2% faster, and the Intel Arc B570 is 1.3% faster. The RTX 2070 SUPER is 1.5% ahead of the Intel Arc A750. This tight clustering of rivals around the GPU indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER's performance is well-known and sits in a crowded field. The combo's rank is likely more dependent on how the specific game interacts with the CPU and GPU than on any single component's raw score.

GPU Role

The RTX 2070 SUPER is a Turing-architecture GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 256-bit memory bus, and a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). This configuration provides the rendering horsepower for the game, and the data shows it is the primary driver of frame rates across the measured settings.

In Greedfall, the GPU's role is clear when comparing the 1080p Low and 1080p Ultra results. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 167, while at Ultra it drops to 76. This is a 54% reduction in performance from Low to Ultra, demonstrating the heavy toll that higher settings take on the GPU. At 1440p, the drop from Low to Ultra is from 116 to 53 FPS, a 54% reduction. At 4K, the drop is from 69 to 31, a 55% reduction. The consistency of this ~54-55% reduction across resolutions shows that the GPU's workload scales predictably with settings, and that Ultra settings are the most demanding. The GPU's 8 GB of VRAM is likely sufficient for the textures used in Greedfall at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result of 31 FPS indicates that VRAM capacity and bandwidth may be a limiting factor at that resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows how the combo scales across resolutions. At each setting, the frame rate decreases as resolution increases, which is expected. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 119 at 1080p to 83 at 1440p and 49 at 4K. This is a 30% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a further 41% drop from 1440p to 4K. At Low settings, the FPS goes from 167 at 1080p to 116 at 1440p and 69 at 4K, a 31% and 40% drop respectively. At Medium, the FPS goes from 131 to 91 to 54, a 30% and 41% drop. At Ultra, it goes from 76 to 53 to 31, a 30% and 41% drop.

This scaling is consistent across all settings, with the 1440p to 4K drop being slightly larger than the 1080p to 1440p drop. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor; the GPU's rendering load increases quadratically with resolution, and the GPU is increasingly strained as resolution climbs. The CPU can still keep up at 4K, as the FPS is not bottlenecked by the CPU at that resolution, but the GPU is running out of headroom. The fact that the 1080p to 1440p drop is 30% and the 1440p to 4K drop is 41% suggests that the GPU is the main scaling driver, and the CPU is sufficiently fast to avoid becoming a bottleneck at these lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data shows that the Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data, and it provides a balanced experience. At 1080p, Medium averages 131 FPS, with a minimum of 112 and a maximum of 151. This is a very playable experience, and the game is far above typical playable thresholds. At 1440p, Medium averages 91 FPS, with a minimum of 77 and a maximum of 105, which is also an excellent experience. At 4K, Medium averages 54 FPS, with a minimum of 46 and a maximum of 63, which is still playable, though it may not be ideal for fast-paced action.

For the best experience, the High preset is a strong option. At 1080p, High averages 119 FPS, only 12 FPS less than Medium, and at 1440p, it averages 83 FPS. At 4K, High averages 49 FPS, which is still playable. The Ultra preset, however, is the most demanding, with averages of 76 at 1080p, 53 at 1440p, and 31 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only one that falls below 30 FPS, making it not a recommended setting for a smooth experience. The Low preset provides the highest FPS (167 at 1080p), but it will reduce visual quality.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It belongs to the 4000 series of processors, uses the Zen 2 architecture (codename Renoir), and is built on a 7 nm process. It has 3 MB of L3 cache (listed as 8 MB shared, but the 4600G has 8 MB total L3), 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 64 KB of L1 cache per core. Its memory bandwidth is 51.2 GB/s, and it has a 65 W TDP.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with data. The benchmark results show that the 4600G is more than sufficient for this game's demands. At 1080p, the FPS at Low settings is 167, which is very high, and the game is not CPU-bound. The CPU's 71st percentile ranking shows it is a strong processor, and its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593 and single-core score of 1919 are indicative of its capability. The game is not heavily CPU-dependent, and the GPU is the limiting factor, as shown by the consistent FPS scaling with resolution.

The CPU's performance in single-threaded tasks, as seen in its Geekbench single-core score of 1460 and Cinebench R20 single-core score of 805, is sufficient for the game's logic. Its multi-threaded performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6637 and Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 5709, means it can handle background tasks without impacting the game's frame rate. The data shows the CPU is not a bottleneck in this configuration.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data is as follows:

3840x2160 (4K)

• High: 49 FPS
• Low: 69 FPS
• Medium: 54 FPS (min 46, max 63)
• Ultra: 31 FPS

2560x1440 (1440p)

• High: 83 FPS
• Low: 116 FPS
• Medium: 91 FPS (min 77, max 105)
• Ultra: 53 FPS

1920x1080 (1080p)

• High: 119 FPS
• Low: 167 FPS
• Medium: 131 FPS (min 112, max 151)
• Ultra: 76 FPS

This data shows a clear hierarchy. Low settings provide the highest frame rates at every resolution, while Ultra settings provide the lowest. The Medium preset is the only one with min and max data, giving a range that shows the frame time consistency. At 1080p, the range is 151-112, a 39 FPS spread. At 1440p, the range is 105-77, a 28 FPS spread. At 4K, the range is 63-46, a 17 FPS spread. The smaller spread at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is more consistently at its limits. The data shows that 1080p is the best resolution for this combo, with High settings providing a 119 FPS average, and Low providing 167 FPS. For a more balanced experience, Medium at 1080p (131 FPS) or High at 1440p (83 FPS) are excellent options. The 4K resolution is only playable at Low (69 FPS) and Medium (54 FPS), while High (49 FPS) and Ultra (31 FPS) are less ideal.
