Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (scoring 17,482, a 0.1% delta) and the Intel Core 7 150U (scoring 17,395, a 0.6% delta). The 4600G essentially trades blows with these parts, meaning its compute headroom is adequate but not exceptional. Meanwhile, the RTX 4070 SUPER occupies the 83rd percentile among GPUs, with an average score of 43,223—placing it just below the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43,262, a -0.1% delta) and the RTX 5050 Mobile (43,268, a -0.1% delta). The GPU is clearly the stronger link in this chain.

The data implies that the combo's rank is driven primarily by the GPU's ability to push high frame rates, while the CPU prevents any severe bottlenecking. At 1080p, where CPU load matters most, the combo still achieves 276 FPS on Low settings, indicating the 4600G's six cores and twelve threads are sufficient for Greedfall's engine. The rank of 654 reflects balance—neither component drags the other down to the degree that would push this combo into the lower quartiles.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant performer in this pairing, and its specifications explain why. Built on the AD104 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, it features 7,168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines. The boost clock reaches 2,475 MHz, with a base clock of 1,980 MHz. More critically for Greedfall, the GPU carries 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is substantial for a 2019 Action RPG, which typically doesn't demand more than 8 GB even at 4K.

The GPU's compute capabilities are equally notable: 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s. These figures translate directly into the measured frame rates. At 4K Ultra, the combo manages 52 FPS average—a playable but not silky-smooth experience. Dropping to High at 4K jumps to 82 FPS, while Medium hits 90 FPS with a minimum of 76 FPS. The GPU's 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores are largely irrelevant for Greedfall, which doesn't utilize ray tracing, but they contribute to the card's overall headroom.

The RTX 4070 SUPER's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the Quadro M6000 24 GB (a 0.1% delta) and the RTX 4090 Mobile (a -1% delta). This places it in rarefied air for 1440p gaming. At 1440p High, the combo delivers 137 FPS, and at 1080p High, it reaches 197 FPS. The GPU's 220 W TDP and dual-slot design are modest for this performance class, and its PCIe 4.0 x16 interface ensures no bandwidth limitations. For Greedfall specifically, the GPU's raw rasterization power is what matters, and the data shows it handles the game's environments and combat scenes with ease.

A: 1440p High offers the best combination of visual quality and performance, averaging 137 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 87 FPS, which is still playable but less fluid. For maximum smoothness, 1080p Medium delivers 217 FPS with a 185 FPS minimum, though this sacrifices some visual fidelity.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in multi-threaded workloads?

A: The Ryzen 5 4600G scores 13,593 in Cinebench R23 multi-core. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, scores 17,482 average—a 0.1% delta. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17,395, a 0.6% delta. These differences are minor, confirming the 4600G is a mid-pack performer.

Q: Does the GPU's 12 GB VRAM matter for Greedfall?

A: Yes, but not critically. Greedfall's textures and environments at 4K Ultra can stress memory, and the 12 GB GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This is ample for the game, as evidenced by the 4K Ultra average of 52 FPS. The memory capacity is more than sufficient, meaning performance is limited by compute, not VRAM.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to 1440p High as the sweet spot for this combo. It delivers 137 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while maintaining visual quality that leverages the GPU's capabilities. At 1080p, the Medium preset offers 217 FPS with a 185 FPS minimum, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. However, the jump from Medium to High at 1080p costs only 20 FPS (217 to 197), so High is arguably the better choice for visual fidelity.

At 4K, the choices are more constrained. High at 82 FPS is playable, but Medium at 90 FPS with a 76 FPS minimum provides more consistent frame pacing. Ultra at 4K is the outlier—52 FPS average is below the 60 FPS target, and the lack of a recorded minimum suggests potential stutters. For players who prioritize frame rate stability, 4K Medium is the recommended preset. For those who want the best visual experience without sacrificing playability, 1440p Ultra at 87 FPS is a viable middle ground.

The data also shows diminishing returns at the highest settings. Moving from High to Ultra at 1080p costs 71 FPS (197 to 126), a 36% drop. At 1440p, the same transition costs 50 FPS (137 to 87), a 36% drop. At 4K, it costs 30 FPS (82 to 52), a 37% drop. This consistent pattern suggests Ultra settings introduce a heavy load that the combo struggles to sustain. Therefore, the optimal experience is High at any resolution, with Medium as a fallback for 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce 276 FPS average, Medium drops to 217 FPS with a 185 FPS minimum and 250 FPS maximum, High reaches 197 FPS, and Ultra falls to 126 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 150 FPS, highlighting how much headroom the GPU has at this resolution. The 4600G's six cores handle the CPU overhead, as evidenced by the lack of a minimum FPS reading for most presets, indicating no severe dips.

Moving to 1440p, the frame rates remain high but show more GPU dependency. Low averages 192 FPS, Medium hits 151 FPS with a 128 FPS minimum and 173 FPS maximum, High delivers 137 FPS, and Ultra drops to 87 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 105 FPS, a smaller gap than at 1080p, suggesting the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor. The Medium preset's minimum of 128 FPS indicates stable performance even during intense scenes.

At 4K, the GPU takes full control. Low averages 114 FPS, Medium hits 90 FPS with a 76 FPS minimum and 103 FPS maximum, High delivers 82 FPS, and Ultra falls to 52 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 62 FPS, the smallest of all resolutions, confirming that 4K is GPU-bound. The Medium preset's minimum of 76 FPS is the only recorded minimum at this resolution, suggesting that Low and High may have more variable frame times, though the averages remain respectable.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 4600G is a six-core, twelve-thread processor based on Zen 2 architecture, codenamed Renoir. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. For Greedfall, which is not particularly CPU-intensive, this configuration provides ample headroom, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p.

The CPU's benchmark scores paint a clear picture. In Cinebench R23, it scores 1,919 single-core and 13,593 multi-core. In Geekbench, it scores 1,460 single-core and 6,637 multi-core. These scores place it at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17,507. Its nearest rivals—the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17,482, 0.1% delta) and the Intel Core 7 150U (17,395, 0.6% delta)—show that the 4600G is a competent mid-range part.

The CPU's role in Greedfall becomes apparent when comparing resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 276 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited given the GPU's headroom. At 1080p Ultra, it drops to 126 FPS, suggesting the GPU is now the bottleneck. The crossover point appears to be around 1080p High (197 FPS), where both components are balanced. The CPU's 12 threads handle the game's background tasks, while its single-thread performance of 1,919 in Cinebench R23 ensures responsive gameplay. The 4600G's integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are irrelevant in this configuration, but the CPU's PCIe Gen 3 interface (20 lanes) provides sufficient bandwidth for the RTX 4070 SUPER.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the bottleneck dynamics. At High settings, the combo delivers 197 FPS at 1080p, 137 FPS at 1440p, and 82 FPS at 4K. This represents a 30% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 40% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, indicating that the GPU becomes progressively more stressed as resolution increases. At 1080p, the CPU likely limits performance; at 4K, the GPU is clearly the constraint.

Low settings show a similar pattern: 276 FPS at 1080p, 192 FPS at 1440p, and 114 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 30%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 41%. This consistency across settings suggests the scaling is resolution-driven rather than settings-driven. Medium settings tell the same story: 217 FPS at 1080p, 151 FPS at 1440p, and 90 FPS at 4K—drops of 30% and 40%, respectively.

Ultra settings exhibit the steepest declines: 126 FPS at 1080p, 87 FPS at 1440p, and 52 FPS at 4K. The 31% drop from 1080p to 1440p is similar to other settings, but the 40% drop from 1440p to 4K is slightly steeper, reflecting the increased load from Ultra's additional effects. The data implies that the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient at all resolutions, but the GPU's compute throughput (35.48 TFLOPS) becomes the limiting factor at 4K Ultra. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, with the 4600G providing consistent frame pacing at 1080p but ceding control to the GPU at higher resolutions. This suggests that for 4K gaming, a stronger GPU would yield larger gains than a CPU upgrade, while at 1080p, the CPU could be a slight bottleneck in CPU-bound scenes.
