Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, built on TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. In the context of Greedfall, an Action RPG released in 2019, this CPU's specifications are more than sufficient to feed the paired GPU. The processor's 8 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth are adequate for the game's engine, which was designed well before this chip's 2020 release. Benchmark data shows the CPU sits at the 71st percentile among all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 17507. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (0.1% faster), Intel Core 7 150U (0.6% faster), AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE (0.6% slower), and Intel Core i3-14100T (0.8% slower). The 4600G's single-thread performance, as indicated by a 3DMark single-thread score of 726, is modest but respectable for a processor in this class. However, because Greedfall is a GPU-bound title at most settings, the CPU's role is primarily to ensure the rendering pipeline remains saturated. The data suggests that even at 1080p with Low settings, where the average FPS reaches 294, the 4600G does not bottleneck the system, as the frame rates scale consistently with resolution and settings changes in a manner that points to the graphics card as the primary performance limiter.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 4600G's 6 cores and 12 threads are well-suited for Greedfall, which is not known for heavy multi-threading requirements. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593 and single-core score of 1919 indicate a balanced performance profile that handles both the game's logic and background tasks without issue. At 4K Ultra settings, where the average FPS drops to 56, the CPU is clearly not the limiting factor; the workload is overwhelmingly on the GPU. Even at 1080p Low, the CPU provides enough headroom to achieve 294 FPS, demonstrating that its Zen 2 architecture is capable of delivering high frame rates in this title. The 4600G's position relative to its rivals is tight, with all four nearest competitors within a 0.8% performance band, suggesting that any of these processors would yield similar results in Greedfall. The processor's boost clock of 4.20 GHz is a key contributor to its ability to handle the game's single-threaded tasks, while its 12 threads ensure smooth operation even when other applications run in the background. Given that the CPU's percentile ranking is 71% versus all CPUs, it is a mid-range performer, but in Greedfall specifically, the data shows it is never the bottleneck, as evidenced by the consistent FPS scaling across resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, featuring 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units provide substantial raw compute power, with a boost clock of 2452 MHz. The GPU's memory runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, ensuring that the 16 GB frame buffer is fed efficiently. In Greedfall, this translates to high frame rates across all tested configurations. The RTX 5070 Ti ranks at the 86th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49957. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 (0.1% faster), Intel Arc A550M (0.4% faster), AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (3.1% slower), and AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (2.0% faster). The data reveals that the RTX 5070 Ti is the primary driver of performance in this game, as FPS scales inversely with resolution and settings. At 1080p High, the GPU produces 213 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 56 FPS, indicating that the graphics card's compute and memory resources are fully utilized at higher loads. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is particularly relevant for Greedfall at 4K Ultra, where texture and geometry data can consume significant memory, and the ample bandwidth prevents any memory-related stuttering. The GPU's FP32 performance of 43.94 TFLOPS ensures that even the most demanding scenes in the game are rendered smoothly, though the 4K Ultra result of 56 FPS shows the limits of this card when pushed to maximum settings at the highest resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling. At 1080p High, the system achieves 213 FPS, which jumps to 148 FPS at 1440p High, a 30.5% reduction, and then drops to 88 FPS at 4K High, a further 40.5% reduction from 1440p. This scaling is consistent with a GPU-limited scenario, where the CPU has ample headroom. At Low settings, the progression is even more pronounced: 294 FPS at 1080p, 207 FPS at 1440p, and 124 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops from 1080p to 4K at Low settings are 29.6% (1080p to 1440p) and 40.1% (1440p to 4K), respectively. The Medium settings show a similar trend, with 235 FPS at 1080p, 163 FPS at 1440p, and 97 FPS at 4K, representing drops of 30.6% and 40.5%. This consistent ~30% drop from 1080p to 1440p and ~40% drop from 1440p to 4K across all settings strongly indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti is the limiting component. The CPU's performance does not degrade with resolution, as its workload remains constant, so the FPS reductions are solely attributable to the GPU's rendering load. The 4K Ultra setting, which yields 56 FPS, shows the most significant drop from 1440p Ultra's 94 FPS, a 40.4% reduction, further confirming that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute capacity are the bottlenecks at higher resolutions. The lack of any anomalous FPS fluctuations in the data suggests that neither the CPU nor the GPU is causing stuttering or frame drops, and the system operates smoothly within its performance envelope.
