Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination delivers a strong, playable experience in Greedfall, with the most balanced performance found at 1440p High settings. The data shows this pairing ranks in the top half of all tested configurations, placing 773rd out of 1705 combos, which indicates solid headroom for this Action RPG.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows reveal a clear hierarchy: High settings provide the best blend of visual quality and frame rate across all resolutions. At 1080p, High settings deliver 148.5 FPS, which is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay, while dropping to Low only yields 202.1 FPS—a marginal gain that sacrifices significant visual fidelity. The data shows that Medium settings at 1080p produce 160.3 FPS, which is only 11.8 FPS ahead of High, making High the superior choice for most users.

At 1440p, High settings produce 101.6 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for high-refresh displays. Medium trails at 112.8 FPS, but the difference of 11.2 FPS is unlikely to justify the visual downgrade. The Ultra preset, however, shows a steep penalty: 62.3 FPS at 1440p, which is a 39.3 FPS drop from High. This suggests Ultra is too demanding for consistent 1440p play.

For 4K, High settings barely clear playability at 63.2 FPS. Medium drops to 67.7 FPS, which is actually higher than High—an anomaly that may indicate variable scene complexity. Low at 84.7 FPS is the only 4K preset that provides comfortable headroom. Given these numbers, the recommended configuration is High settings at 1080p or 1440p, with 4K reserved for users who prioritize resolution over maximum detail.

GPU Role

The RTX 3070’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth proves adequate for Greedfall’s demands. The GPU’s Ampere architecture, built on Samsung’s 8 nm process, includes 5888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units. The boost clock of 1725 MHz and base clock of 1500 MHz provide the computational foundation for the measured results.

The GPU’s 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 317.4 GTexel/s texture rate directly influence the frame rates seen in the data. The benchmark results indicate the RTX 3070 is the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions, where the gap between settings presets widens significantly. At 4K Ultra, the GPU produces only 41.3 FPS, demonstrating that the 8 GB frame buffer and 96 ROPs become limiting factors when pushed to maximum detail. The GPU’s percentile ranking of 72nd among all tested GPUs places it above the median, with its nearest rival being the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT at a 0.9% deltaPct.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data shows a predictable scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K, but the rate of decline varies by settings preset. At High settings, performance drops from 148.5 FPS at 1080p to 101.6 FPS at 1440p, then to 63.2 FPS at 4K. This represents a 31.6% decrease from 1080p to 1440p and a further 37.8% decrease from 1440p to 4K. The pattern indicates that GPU compute becomes the bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the CPU has more time to prepare frames.

The Low preset shows a similar trend: 202.1 FPS at 1080p, 141.1 FPS at 1440p, and 84.7 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Low is a 58.1% reduction, which is slightly less severe than the High preset’s 57.4% reduction. This suggests that even at low settings, the GPU remains the limiting component at 4K. The Ultra preset exhibits the steepest drop, falling from 97.2 FPS at 1080p to 62.3 FPS at 1440p and 41.3 FPS at 4K—a total 57.5% reduction. These numbers confirm that resolution scaling in Greedfall is heavily GPU-bound, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom at all tested resolutions.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Greedfall?

A: 1440p High settings provides the optimal balance, delivering 101.6 FPS average. This maintains high visual fidelity while staying well above 60 FPS, and the data shows 4K High drops to 63.2 FPS, making 1440p the safer choice for consistent performance.

Q: How does the RTX 3070 compare to its nearest rivals in this game?

A: The RTX 3070’s average benchmark score of 28238 places it 0.9% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT and 1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, while trailing the AMD FirePro S7150 by 0.6%. These deltaPct values indicate near-parity with its closest competitors.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 4600G sufficient for this game?

A: Yes, the CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads provide adequate processing power. The CPU’s 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs and its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593 indicate it does not bottleneck the GPU at the measured frame rates, especially at higher resolutions where GPU load dominates.

Q: What is the Ultra preset penalty at 4K?

A: The 4K Ultra preset produces 41.3 FPS, which is a 34.7% reduction from 4K High’s 63.2 FPS. This substantial drop makes Ultra unsuitable for 4K gaming with this combo, as even 1440p Ultra only achieves 62.3 FPS.

Q: How does the CPU’s single-thread performance affect the game?

A: The Ryzen 5 4600G’s 3DMark single-thread score of 726 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1919 demonstrate capable per-core performance. Greedfall’s engine benefits from this, as the data shows the CPU can sustain frame rates above 200 FPS at 1080p Low, indicating no single-thread bottleneck.

Q: What memory configuration does this CPU require?

A: The Ryzen 5 4600G supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. This memory bandwidth is sufficient to feed the CPU’s 8 MB shared L3 cache, and the data shows no memory-related performance issues at the tested settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, based on the Zen 2 Renoir architecture on TSMC’s 7 nm process, provides 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and 8 MB shared L3 cache contribute to its efficiency. Its benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593 and Geekbench multicore score of 6093, place it at the 75th percentile of all CPUs.

The data shows the CPU’s role in Greedfall is secondary to the GPU. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 202.1 FPS, which suggests the CPU can push well beyond typical refresh rates. The CPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, has a deltaPct of 0%, indicating statistical parity in average benchmark scores. The Intel Core i5-12450H trails by 0.1%, while the Intel Core i3-13100F is 1% behind. These small deltas confirm the 4600G’s competitive positioning for this game, where it provides ample compute without becoming the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete dataset shows consistent scaling across all settings and resolutions. At 1080p, the combo produces 202.1 FPS on Low, 160.3 FPS on Medium, 148.5 FPS on High, and 97.2 FPS on Ultra. The transition from Low to Ultra represents a 51.9% reduction, highlighting the significant cost of maximum detail settings.

At 1440p, the frame rates are 141.1 FPS on Low, 112.8 FPS on Medium, 101.6 FPS on High, and 62.3 FPS on Ultra. The Ultra preset’s 62.3 FPS is the only sub-100 FPS result at this resolution, while Low maintains over 140 FPS. The Medium setting at 112.8 FPS shows only an 11.2 FPS advantage over High, reinforcing the recommendation for High settings.

At 4K, the results are 84.7 FPS on Low, 67.7 FPS on Medium, 63.2 FPS on High, and 41.3 FPS on Ultra. The 4K data reveals that even Low settings cannot maintain 90 FPS, and High barely reaches 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 41.3 FPS is the least playable configuration in the entire dataset, confirming that 4K requires sacrificing visual quality with this hardware.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 4600G and RTX 3070 ranks 773rd out of 1705 tested configurations in Greedfall, placing it in the top 45.3% of all combos. This ranking reflects a well-balanced system that excels at 1080p and 1440p but struggles at 4K with high settings. The GPU’s 72nd percentile ranking and CPU’s 75th percentile ranking indicate both components are above-average performers in their respective categories.

The combo’s position in the rankings is driven primarily by the GPU’s strong compute capabilities, as evidenced by the RTX 3070’s Passmark G3D score of 22214 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 3162. The CPU’s contribution is less prominent but still sufficient, with its Passmark multithread score of 15992 ensuring no processing bottleneck. The data shows this combo sits comfortably above the median, with the nearest rival combos likely featuring similar mid-range CPUs paired with high-end GPUs. This ranking suggests users can expect consistent 60+ FPS at 1440p High and competitive performance at 1080p, making it a reliable choice for Greedfall without requiring an ultra-high-end CPU.
