Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti ranks 993rd out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the 73th percentile of configurations. This indicates a setup that delivers well above-average performance for this title, though the ranking reveals a notable imbalance: the CPU, with a percentile of 71 among all processors, is the weaker link compared to the GPU, which sits in the 83rd percentile among all graphics cards. The data shows that the combo's final rank is largely defined by the GPU's raw power, but the CPU's moderate standing prevents the pairing from reaching the top tier of results.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 993 out of 3,703 tested combos places it in the top 26.8% of all pairings evaluated in Greedfall. This is a strong result for a mid-range 2023-era processor combined with a high-end GPU. The GPU's percentile of 83 is significantly higher than the CPU's percentile of 71, which means the system is more GPU-bound than CPU-bound in this title. The nearest CPU rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (delta 0.1%) and the Intel Core 7 150U (delta 0.6%), show that the 4600G is closely matched by modern low-power parts. However, the GPU's nearest rivals are more skewed: the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (delta 0.8%) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (delta 2.0%) bracket the 3080 Ti, though the gap to the RTX 5070 is larger. This suggests that the 3080 Ti sits in a performance tier where small differences in average score yield close competitors, but the 4600G's score is near the middle of its own tier.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing. With 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, the card provides a memory bandwidth of 912.4 GB/s, which is critical for the large textures and high-resolution rendering in Greedfall. The memory runs at an effective 19 Gbps, and the boost clock of 1665 MHz sustains the GPU's 34.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. In the measured FPS data, the GPU's strength is evident at 4K, where it still delivers a playable 73 FPS at High settings. The 80 ray-tracing cores and 320 tensor cores are present in the hardware, though Greedfall does not appear to use ray tracing in the measured results. The GPU's nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, is 2.0% faster in average score, indicating that the 3080 Ti is slightly behind the latest generation at this performance level, but the 3080 Ti's 12 GB VRAM is still sufficient for the game's Ultra preset at 4K, as shown by the 46 FPS average.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows clear scaling across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 247 FPS, and at 1440p with Low it drops to 171 FPS, a 30.8% decrease. At 4K with Low, the average is 102 FPS, which is 40.4% lower than 1440p. These reductions are roughly proportional to pixel count, suggesting that the GPU is the limiting factor even at Low settings. At High settings, the scaling is similar: 1080p yields 176 FPS, 1440p 122 FPS (a 30.7% drop), and 4K 73 FPS (a 40.2% drop from 1440p). At Ultra, the 1080p score is 112 FPS, 1440p 78 FPS, and 4K 46 FPS, with a 41.0% drop from 1440 to 4K. The consistent scaling pattern indicates that the 4600G is not a bottleneck at any resolution; the game is clearly GPU-limited in all measured scenarios. The CPU's 6-core, 12-thread design handles the game's single-threaded engine logic without constraining the GPU.

Settings Recommendations

The data suggests that High is the optimal quality setting for this combo. At 1080p, High delivers 176 FPS, which is 60 FPS lower than Low but still far above the 60 FPS threshold, and it offers better visuals. At 1440p, High gives 122 FPS, still ample for smooth gameplay. At 4K, High yields 73 FPS, which is playable on a high-refresh monitor. Medium provides a minor benefit: at 1080p it reaches 194 FPS, and at 4K it is 80 FPS, but the visual improvement over High is marginal. Ultra is the most demanding, with 4K dropping to 46 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target. For a balance of visuals and performance, High is recommended across all resolutions. Low settings are only useful for maximum competitive frame rates, but the game's engine at 1080p with Low reaches 247 FPS, which is far beyond any display's refresh rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1080p: Low 247, Medium 194 (min 165, max 223), High 176, Ultra 112. The gap from Medium to High is 18 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra is 64 FPS, indicating that Ultra is a heavy preset. Medium's min of 165 FPS is well above 144 Hz.

1440p: Low 171, Medium 134 (min 114, max 155), High 122, Ultra 78. The scaling from Low to Medium is 37 FPS (a 21.6% drop), and High to Ultra is 44 FPS (a 36.1% drop). The 114 FPS minimum at Medium is still above the 60 FPS target.

4K: Low 102, Medium 80 (min 68, max 92), High 73, Ultra 46. At 4K, the drop from Low to Medium is 22 FPS (21.6%), and from High to Ultra is 27 FPS (37.0%). The Ultra preset's 46 FPS is the only measured value below 60 FPS, making it unsuitable for 4K.

The min and max FPS data available only for Medium settings show that the variance is consistent: at 1080p Medium, min 165 to max 223 (a 35% range), at 1440p Medium min 114 to max 155 (36%), and at 4K Medium min 68 to max 92 (35%). This indicates stable frame pacing regardless of resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture (Renoir) on a 7 nm TSMC process. It runs at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts to 4.20 GHz. With a 65W TDP, it is a low-power part, but its performance is sufficient for Greedfall. The CPU's benchmark scores are modest: Cinebench R23 multi-core is 13,593, and single-core is 1,919. Its Passmark multithread score is 15,992, and single-thread 2,653. This places it in the 71st percentile, with nearest rivals like the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (0.9%) and Intel Core 3 8300GE (0.2%). In Greedfall, the game's engine seems to be single-threaded, as the FPS scaling is purely GPU-bound. The 4600G's single-thread performance, while not top-tier, is enough to feed the 3080 Ti at 4K, but at 1080p with Low settings, the 247 FPS suggests the CPU can keep up with the GPU's high frame output. The CPU's L3 cache is 8 MB, which is large for a budget chip, and its memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s is adequate for the game's needs. The 4600G's integrated Radeon Vega 7 is not used in this configuration, as the discrete GPU is present.

FAQ

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 4600G compare to its closest CPU rivals in this benchmark?

A: The 4600G's average score of 17,507 is 0.1% above the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17,482) and 0.6% above the Intel Core 7 150U (17,395). It is 0.6% slower than the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE (17,614) and 0.8% slower than the Intel Core i3-14100T (17,648).

Q2: Is the RTX 3080 Ti a significant performance advantage over the CPU?

A: Yes, the GPU is in the 83rd percentile compared to the CPU's 71st. The GPU's average benchmark score is 41,187, while the CPU's is 17,507. The GPU's nearest rival, the RTX 5070, is 2.0% faster, but the CPU's nearest rival is only 0.8% faster, showing the GPU has more headroom.

Q3: What is the best quality setting for 4K gaming with this combo?

A: High quality at 4K delivers 73 FPS, which is playable on a 60 Hz monitor. Medium offers 80 FPS but with lower visual quality. Ultra drops to 46 FPS, which is not suitable for 4K. High is recommended.

Q4: How does the FPS drop from 1080p to 4K at high settings?

A: At High settings, 1080p yields 176 FPS, 1440p 122 FPS (a 30.7% drop), and 4K 73 FPS (a 40.2% drop from 1440p). This indicates the GPU is the bottleneck.

Q5: Can this combo handle 1440p at high frame rates?

A: Yes, at 1440p High, the average FPS is 122, and at Medium it's 134 with minima of 114. These are well above 60 FPS and even above 100 FPS, making it suitable for 144Hz monitors.

Q6: What is the CPU's single-thread performance, and why does it matter?

A: The single-thread score in Geekbench is 1,460, and Cinebench R23 single-core is 1,191. For Greedfall, which relies on single-thread for gameplay logic, this is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU, as evidenced by the scaling at 1080p High to 4K High.

Q7: How does the GPU's memory bandwidth affect the performance?

A: The 912.4 GB/s bandwidth from 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus helps at 4K where textures and large assets require high memory throughput. This is reflected in the 73 FPS average at 4K High, which is better than the 46 FPS at Ultra, where settings increase memory pressure.

Q8: Is the Greedfall benchmark more CPU- or GPU-bound?

A: The benchmark is overwhelmingly GPU-bound. The FPS scaling from 1080 to 1440 and 4K is consistent with GPU load, and the CPU's percentile (71) is lower than the GPU's (83). At 1080p Low, the 247 FPS shows the CPU can keep up, but high FPS numbers at 4K are also GPU-limited.
