Greedfall

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER lands at rank 1203 out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall. That places this configuration in the lower-middle tier of the database, meaning roughly 70% of all tested CPU-GPU pairings deliver higher average frame rates in this specific Action RPG. The ranking reflects a hardware pairing that is competent but not exceptional for a 2019 title, with the data showing a system that can handle the game at playable levels across most settings but struggles at the extreme high end.

The CPU's synthetic benchmark standing offers context for this placement. The Ryzen 5 5600 sits in the 79th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21765. Its nearest rivals in aggregate performance are the Intel Xeon D-1746TER (0.6% higher score), the AMD EPYC 9554P (0.6% lower), the AMD EPYC 9534 (0.6% lower), and the Intel Core i7-11700F (0.9% lower). These are all server or high-end desktop parts, which indicates the Ryzen 5 5600's raw compute capability is solid for a mainstream desktop chip. However, Greedfall's measured results suggest the game is not purely CPU-bound at most settings, which is why the combo's in-game rank is lower than the CPU's percentile might imply.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the primary driver of Greedfall's frame rates, and the data shows a clear pattern of the GPU becoming the limiting factor as resolution and settings increase. The card features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its clock speeds are 1470 MHz base and 1650 MHz boost, with memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). These specifications position the GPU in the 63rd percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19774.

In the measured FPS data, the GPU's role becomes evident when comparing synthetic benchmarks to in-game results. The nearest GPU rivals in aggregate score are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (0.3% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (0.5% higher), the NVIDIA Quadro K5200 (0.8% higher), and the NVIDIA Tesla K40m (1.3% higher). The RTX 2060 SUPER's Turing architecture, with 2176 shading units and 64 ROPs, provides a texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s. These figures translate to strong 1080p performance but show diminishing returns as pixel count climbs, which the measured FPS data confirms.

FAQ

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1080p gaming with this combo?

A: The data shows Medium settings at 1920x1080 deliver 119 FPS average, while Low reaches 154.6 FPS and High hits 108.2 FPS. Ultra drops to 71.8 FPS. For a balance of visual quality and smoothness, Medium appears optimal for high-refresh displays.

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

A: At 3840x2160, the best result is 63.8 FPS on Low settings. High and Medium both hover around 47 FPS (47.5 and 47.2 respectively), while Ultra falls to 28.3 FPS. Playable 4K requires Low settings, and even then it barely crosses the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rival in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600 scores 21765 on average, which is 0.6% lower than the AMD EPYC 9554P and 0.6% higher than the Intel Xeon D-1746TER. The Intel Core i7-11700F is 0.9% ahead, making the Ryzen 5 5600 competitive with a wide range of server and desktop parts.

Q: What is the GPU's performance percentile relative to all other GPUs?

A: The RTX 2060 SUPER sits in the 63rd percentile, meaning it outperforms 63% of all GPUs in the database. Its aggregate benchmark score of 19774 is within 1.3% of four nearest rivals, showing tight competition in this performance band.

Q: How does the Ultra preset scale from 1080p to 1440p?

A: At 1920x1080 Ultra, the combo delivers 71.8 FPS. Dropping to 2560x1440 Ultra reduces that to 45.5 FPS, a substantial 36.6% decrease. This indicates the GPU becomes heavily stressed at higher resolutions with maxed settings.

Q: Is the 8 GB VRAM sufficient for Greedfall at high settings?

A: The measured data shows High settings produce 108.2 FPS at 1080p and 74.3 FPS at 1440p, indicating the 8 GB frame buffer is not a limiting factor at these presets. Even at 4K High, the combo manages 47.5 FPS, suggesting VRAM capacity is adequate for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance: Low settings produce 154.6 FPS average, Medium reaches 119 FPS, High achieves 108.2 FPS, and Ultra drops to 71.8 FPS. This resolution shows a wide spread between presets, with the gap between Low and Ultra being 82.8 FPS, indicating the GPU has headroom at 1080p but Ultra settings still impose a significant load.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates compress somewhat. Low settings deliver 105.1 FPS, Medium hits 85.2 FPS, High manages 74.3 FPS, and Ultra falls to 45.5 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra here is 59.6 FPS, narrower than at 1080p but still substantial. Notably, 1440p High (74.3 FPS) is very close to 1080p Ultra (71.8 FPS), suggesting similar GPU load levels for these two configurations.

At 3840x2160, the data shows the GPU's limits clearly. Low settings produce 63.8 FPS, which is the only 4K preset that approaches smooth gameplay. Medium and High are nearly identical at 47.2 and 47.5 FPS respectively, while Ultra drops sharply to 28.3 FPS. The 4K results show a non-linear scaling pattern: the jump from Medium to High has almost no impact (0.3 FPS difference), but the jump from High to Ultra causes a 19.2 FPS drop, highlighting the extreme cost of maxed settings at 4K resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU as the dominant bottleneck in this pairing. At High settings, the combo produces 108.2 FPS at 1080p, 74.3 FPS at 1440p, and 47.5 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 31.3%, and from 1440p to 4K is 36.1%, with the total 1080p-to-4K reduction being 56.1%. This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario, as pixel count increases more steeply than frame rate decreases, suggesting the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are being saturated.

Low settings show a similar but slightly shallower curve: 154.6 FPS at 1080p, 105.1 FPS at 1440p (32.0% drop), and 63.8 FPS at 4K (39.3% drop from 1440p). The total 1080p-to-4K reduction at Low is 58.7%, nearly identical to High settings. This consistency across settings presets indicates that resolution scaling is primarily a function of GPU pixel throughput, not settings complexity.

The Ultra preset exhibits the most dramatic scaling, with 71.8 FPS at 1080p dropping to 45.5 FPS at 1440p (36.6% decrease) and then to 28.3 FPS at 4K (37.8% decrease from 1440p). The total drop from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra is 60.6%, the largest percentage reduction of any preset. This suggests that at Ultra settings, the combination of higher pixel count and maxed visual effects overwhelms the GPU's 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, making 4K Ultra impractical for sustained gameplay. The data overall confirms that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting component in this combo, with the Ryzen 5 5600's compute headroom remaining largely untapped as resolution increases.
