Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Greedfall, with 4K Ultra proving too demanding for smooth play. The data shows this combo ranks 809th out of 1705 tested combinations, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. That rank reflects a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically bottlenecks the other at most settings, though the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor at higher resolutions and presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s 809th place out of 1705 tested pairs puts it just inside the top half of all configurations. This is a respectable position for a mid-range pairing, indicating that it outperforms a majority of tested systems while trailing high-end builds. The ranking suggests the Ryzen 5 5600 and RX 6750 XT work well together, with no single component dragging the other down to an extreme degree. The CPU sits in the 79th percentile among all processors, and the GPU also lands in the 79th percentile among all graphics cards, so both parts are evenly matched in terms of overall capability.

In practical terms, this rank means the combo is well-suited for 1080p gaming with high refresh rate monitors and for 1440p gaming at high settings. The data supports this: the measured FPS at 1080p High is 137.7, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold and close to 144 Hz territory. At 1440p High, the average drops to 94.7 FPS, still smooth for most displays. The rank also implies that pushing to 4K is possible but requires sacrificing settings, as the 4K Ultra result of 37.4 FPS falls below playable standards.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo handle Greedfall at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, but only at lower settings. The measured average FPS at 4K Low is 78.9, which is playable, while 4K Medium drops to 63.4 and 4K High falls to 55.5. At 4K Ultra, the average is just 37.4 FPS, which is not smooth enough for most players.

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

A: The data shows 1080p and 1440p are the sweet spots. At 1080p High, the combo achieves 137.7 FPS, and at 1440p High, it manages 94.7 FPS. Both provide a smooth experience, with 1440p offering a better visual quality-to-performance balance.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in general benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600 has an average benchmark score of 21765, which is 0.6% ahead of the Intel Xeon D-1746TER (21635) and 0.9% ahead of the Intel Core i7-11700F (21957 is actually 0.9% higher, meaning the 5600 is slightly behind). It trails the AMD EPYC 9554P (21899) by 0.6% and the EPYC 9534 (21900) by 0.6%. These are all close scores, indicating the 5600 performs on par with those server and desktop parts.

Q: Is the GPU a bottleneck at any resolution?

A: At 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, as the FPS drops to 37.4. The scaling from 1440p Ultra (61.4 FPS) to 4K Ultra (37.4 FPS) represents a 39% performance drop, which is consistent with a GPU-bound workload. At 1080p Low, the CPU becomes more relevant, but the combo still produces 194 FPS, so the bottleneck is not severe.

Q: What is the launch MSRP for these parts?

A: The CPU has a launch MSRP of $199, and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 549 USD.

Q: Does the CPU support overclocking?

A: Yes, the Ryzen 5 5600 has an unlocked multiplier, which allows for overclocking. Its base clock is 3.50 GHz and boost clock is 4.40 GHz, with a 65W TDP.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which preset to choose based on your resolution and performance target. For 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 85.3 FPS, which is perfectly playable, but the High preset at 137.7 FPS offers a much smoother experience with only a modest visual downgrade. Given that Greedfall is an action RPG where combat responsiveness matters, the High preset at 1080p is the best choice for most players, as it keeps the frame rate well above 100 FPS.

At 1440p, the High preset at 94.7 FPS is the recommended starting point. The Medium preset at 101.3 FPS is slightly faster but not worth the visual trade-off, while Ultra at 61.4 FPS is still playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. For those with 144Hz monitors, the Low preset at 131.7 FPS is an option, but the visual quality hit is significant. The data suggests that High at 1440p provides the best balance of image quality and performance.

For 4K, the situation is different. The Low preset at 78.9 FPS is the only setting that delivers a consistently smooth experience. Medium at 63.4 FPS is borderline, and High at 55.5 FPS may cause noticeable stutter in busy areas. Ultra at 37.4 FPS is not recommended. If you have a 4K display, the Low preset is the practical choice, but the combo is clearly better suited to lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are 194 FPS on Low, 152.5 FPS on Medium, 137.7 FPS on High, and 85.3 FPS on Ultra. This shows a predictable decline as settings increase, with Ultra costing more than half the performance of Low. The gap between Medium and High is relatively small at 14.8 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra is a substantial 52.4 FPS drop.

At 2560x1440, the results are 131.7 FPS on Low, 101.3 FPS on Medium, 94.7 FPS on High, and 61.4 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by roughly 30-35% across most settings, which is typical for a GPU-bound game. The Ultra preset takes a particularly hard hit, dropping from 85.3 FPS at 1080p to 61.4 FPS at 1440p, a 28% reduction.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 78.9 FPS on Low, 63.4 FPS on Medium, 55.5 FPS on High, and 37.4 FPS on Ultra. This resolution clearly stresses the GPU, as even the Low preset cannot reach 100 FPS. The Ultra preset’s 37.4 FPS is below the 40 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for playable action games, making it unsuitable for serious play.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K reveals how the GPU load scales with pixel count. At High settings, the combo delivers 137.7 FPS at 1080p, 94.7 FPS at 1440p, and 55.5 FPS at 4K. This represents a 31% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a further 41% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, which suggests the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions.

At Low settings, the pattern is similar but with higher absolute numbers: 194 FPS at 1080p, 131.7 FPS at 1440p, and 78.9 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 32% and 40%, respectively. This consistent scaling across settings indicates that the RX 6750 XT’s memory bandwidth and compute resources are being fully utilized as resolution increases.

The fact that the 4K Ultra result (37.4 FPS) is dramatically lower than 1440p Ultra (61.4 FPS) points to the GPU’s 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus being insufficient for the highest settings at 4K. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is not the bottleneck here, as the frame rate scales predictably with resolution. If the CPU were limiting, the FPS would remain flat across resolutions, which is not the case.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode. In Greedfall, which is an Action RPG from 2019, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic, and the data shows it does this effectively.

The CPU’s benchmark scores indicate strong single-threaded performance, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 882 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2584. Greedfall benefits from such performance, as the game’s engine likely relies on a few heavily loaded threads for simulation and AI. The multi-threaded scores, such as Cinebench R23 multicore at 18309, show that the 5600 can handle background tasks without impacting gameplay.

The combo’s rank of 809 out of 1705 suggests that the CPU is not holding back the GPU in most scenarios. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 194 FPS, which is close to what the GPU can output, indicating the CPU can keep up even at high frame rates. The CPU’s 65W TDP also means it runs cool and does not require exotic cooling, making it a practical choice for this build. Its nearest rivals in benchmark scores are all within 1% performance, but the 5600’s combination of price and gaming performance makes it a strong match for the RX 6750 XT.
