Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti produces a wide spread of frame rates in Greedfall, ranging from a highly playable 63.2 FPS at 4K High to a blistering 213.8 FPS at 1080p Low. This combination, ranking 682nd out of 1705 tested configurations for this title, demonstrates that the RTX 3070 Ti is more than capable of driving high refresh rates at lower resolutions, while the 4K Ultra preset presents a significant challenge.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a predictable yet steep performance curve as resolution increases. At 1080p with High settings, the system delivers an average of 154.3 FPS, which drops to 108.1 FPS at 1440p and further to 63.2 FPS at 4K. This represents a 59% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the GPU is the primary scaling factor. The jump from 1440p to 4K is particularly punishing, with a 41.5% performance loss, which is characteristic of a game that heavily taxes pixel throughput at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern shifts dramatically when moving to the Ultra preset. At 1080p Ultra, the system manages 96.9 FPS, but this falls to 66.3 FPS at 1440p and plummets to 40 FPS at 4K. The 58.7% drop from 1080p to 4K Ultra is even more severe than at High settings, suggesting that the Ultra preset introduces additional rendering complexity that disproportionately impacts higher resolutions. This indicates that while the RTX 3070 Ti can handle 1440p Ultra comfortably, 4K Ultra is beyond its practical capabilities for smooth gameplay.

Interestingly, the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low (213.8 FPS) and Ultra (96.9 FPS) is 116.9 FPS, while at 4K the spread shrinks to 51.5 FPS (91.5 FPS vs 40 FPS). This compression at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU becomes the bottleneck earlier in the rendering pipeline, reducing the impact of graphical settings on overall performance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti features 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a substantial 608.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is well-suited for Greedfall at 1440p and below, where the measured frame rates remain fluid. However, the 4K Ultra result of 40 FPS indicates that the card's memory capacity and bandwidth are stretched thin at the highest resolution and settings combination, likely due to the game's texture and geometry demands exceeding what 8 GB can comfortably accommodate.

The GPU's clock speeds, with a base of 1575 MHz and boost up to 1770 MHz, contribute to its raw compute capabilities. The card's FP32 performance of 21.75 TFLOPS provides ample shading power for Greedfall's action RPG visuals, which is reflected in the strong 1440p High result of 108.1 FPS. The RTX 3070 Ti's position in the benchmark database, with a percentile of 74 against all GPUs, places it in the upper tier of graphics cards, though its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME with a deltaPct of 0.3%, showing how close the competition is in aggregate scores.

The GPU's 8 GB memory capacity appears to be the limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the average frame rate drops below 60 FPS. The measured results suggest that Greedfall at 4K requires more video memory than this card can provide, leading to potential texture thrashing and reduced performance. At lower settings, the card's 6144 shading units and 192 texture mapping units deliver excellent results, with the 1080p Medium preset achieving 173 FPS, indicating that the GPU is rarely the bottleneck outside of 4K Ultra scenarios.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for smooth 60 FPS gameplay with this setup?

A: The data shows that 4K High produces 63.2 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold, while 1440p High delivers 108.1 FPS and 1080p High reaches 154.3 FPS. For a consistently smooth experience, 1440p High provides the best balance of visual quality and performance.

Q: How does the Ultra preset affect performance compared to High?

A: The Ultra preset causes a significant performance hit across all resolutions. At 1080p, Ultra drops from High's 154.3 FPS to 96.9 FPS, a 37% reduction. At 1440p, the drop is from 108.1 FPS to 66.3 FPS, and at 4K, Ultra falls to 40 FPS from High's 63.2 FPS.

Q: Is this system capable of 4K gaming in Greedfall?

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 4K High, the system averages 63.2 FPS, which is playable. However, at 4K Ultra, performance drops to 40 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS standard for smooth gameplay. The 4K Low preset achieves 91.5 FPS, showing the GPU can handle 4K when settings are reduced.

Q: How does the RTX 3070 Ti compare to its closest rivals in this database?

A: The RTX 3070 Ti has an average benchmark score of 30849, placing it in the 74th percentile. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME, scores 30755 with a deltaPct of 0.3%, meaning the RTX 3070 Ti is only slightly ahead. The AMD Radeon RX 6700 trails by 0.8% with a score of 31112.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Medium settings?

A: The gap between Low and Medium is modest. At 1080p, Low achieves 213.8 FPS while Medium reaches 173 FPS, a difference of 40.8 FPS. At 1440p, the spread is 146.7 FPS vs 116 FPS, and at 4K, Low produces 91.5 FPS versus Medium's 71.5 FPS.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU in this game?

A: The data suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 213.8 FPS, which may approach the CPU's limit, but at 4K Ultra, the 40 FPS result is clearly GPU-bound. The Ryzen 5 4600G's 6-core, 12-thread configuration should provide adequate processing for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. The Low preset achieves an average of 213.8 FPS, while Medium reaches 173 FPS and High produces 154.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 96.9 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS target. These results indicate that at 1080p, the RTX 3070 Ti has significant headroom, even with the most demanding settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected decline. Low settings produce 146.7 FPS, Medium achieves 116 FPS, and High delivers 108.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 66.3 FPS, which is still playable but demonstrates the increased load on the GPU at this resolution. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a 31.4% performance reduction at High settings.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates become more moderate. Low settings still provide a respectable 91.5 FPS, while Medium achieves 71.5 FPS and High reaches 63.2 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, averaging just 40 FPS. This represents a 58.7% drop from the 1080p Ultra result, highlighting the significant computational demands of 4K rendering in Greedfall.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. This CPU, which ranks in the 75th percentile against all processors in the database, provides sufficient processing power for Greedfall. Its Cinebench R23 scores of 13593 multi-core and 1919 single-core suggest a capable processor that can handle the game's AI, physics, and world simulation tasks without becoming a limiting factor.

The CPU's 8 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for feeding the RTX 3070 Ti. The measured frame rates at 1080p, particularly the 213.8 FPS Low result, indicate that the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output at lower resolutions. However, the CPU's single-thread performance, reflected in its Geekbench single-core score of 1575, may start to become more relevant if the frame rate exceeds 200 FPS.

Comparing the Ryzen 5 4600G to its nearest rivals in the database, it shows a deltaPct of 0% against the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, with both scoring around 17482-17489. The Intel Core i5-12450H is 0.1% ahead, while the Intel Core i3-14100T is 0.8% behind and the Intel Core i3-13100F trails by 1%. This clustering indicates that the 4600G's performance is competitive with these alternatives, though none of these CPUs would dramatically alter the Greedfall experience given that the GPU is the dominant factor at higher resolutions.
