The in-game FPS data corroborates this mid-low tier positioning.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is built on the Turing architecture with a TU117 chip, fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It houses 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1485 MHz with a boost clock of 1665 MHz, and it offers 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. Its compute capabilities include 2.984 TFLOPS FP32 performance and a pixel rate of 53.28 GPixel/s, along with a texture rate of 93.24 GTexel/s. The card draws up to 75 W TDP and requires no external power connectors, with a suggested PSU of 250 W.

In Greedfall, the GTX 1650’s role is dominant in determining frame rates. The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, average FPS drops substantially across all settings. At 1080p Low, the card produces 73 FPS, but at 4K Low, that figure falls to 30 FPS — a drop of 43 FPS. This resolution sensitivity points to the GPU’s limited fill rate and memory bandwidth. The 4 GB VRAM capacity is also a factor; at 4K Ultra, the average FPS collapses to 14, which suggests the card cannot sustain the texture and geometry load at that preset. The GPU’s percentile ranking of 40 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 7472, places it below most dedicated gaming cards from its era, and the in-game results reflect that.

The GTX 1650’s nearest rivals in benchmark scores — the AMD Radeon HD 8850M (7447), Intel UHD Graphics 750 (7441), AMD Radeon R7 350 (7425), and Intel Arc A310 (7550) — all fall within a 1% delta. This tight clustering indicates that the GTX 1650 occupies a narrow performance band, and its behavior in Greedfall should be similar to those parts, though none of those rivals are separately tested in this game’s data. The GPU’s DirectX 12 support (12_1) and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility do not rescue its raw throughput, as evidenced by the 4K results. For a game like Greedfall, an Action RPG with dense environments, the GPU’s 32 ROPs and 93.24 GTexel/s texture rate are insufficient for high-resolution high-detail work, which the FPS data confirms.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer codename), manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features a 32 MB shared L3 cache, plus 64 KB L1 and 512 KB L2 per core. It supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and connects via PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes. The chip’s average benchmark score is 36945, with a Passmark single-thread score of 2872 and a multithread score of 19236.

In the context of Greedfall, the Ryzen 5 5600F’s role is secondary to the GPU, but not irrelevant. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for the game’s threading model, as evidenced by the fact that FPS scales primarily with resolution and settings rather than showing signs of CPU bottlenecking at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 73 FPS, which is well below what this CPU could theoretically push if paired with a stronger GPU — the Passmark multithread score of 19236 and integer math score of 59339 indicate substantial headroom. The CPU’s boost clock of 4.00 GHz provides adequate single-thread performance for game logic and draw calls, and its 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs suggests it is not the weak link in this pairing.

The nearest rival comparisons reinforce this view. The Ryzen 5 5600F’s average score of 36945 is within 0.5% of the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (36938, 0% delta), AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D (37018, -0.2% delta), AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 (37093, -0.4% delta), and Intel Core i9-12900T (37112, -0.5% delta). This near-identical performance across different architectures and generations means that swapping the CPU for any of those rivals would likely yield no measurable change in Greedfall FPS, since the GPU is the binding constraint. The CPU’s 32 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are more than adequate for the game’s asset streaming needs, especially compared to the GPU’s 128.1 GB/s bandwidth, which is far lower. In short, the Ryzen 5 5600F is overqualified for this GPU, and the measured FPS data reflects the GPU’s ceiling rather than any CPU limitation.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank in Greedfall is 2844 out of 2938 tested combinations, which places it in the 96.8th percentile of the ranking — meaning only about 3.2% of tested combos score lower. This is a bottom-decile result, consistent with the GTX 1650’s low GPU percentile (40th) and the fact that the CPU’s high percentile (85th) cannot compensate for the graphics card’s limitations. In practical terms, this rank means that the vast majority of other CPU-GPU pairings in the database will produce higher average FPS in Greedfall at equivalent settings.

The rank is driven almost entirely by the GPU. The Ryzen 5 5600F’s benchmark scores place it in the top 15% of all CPUs, but the GTX 1650’s scores place it in the bottom 40% of GPUs. Since Greedfall is a GPU-bound title at the settings tested (as shown by the steep FPS drops with resolution), the combo’s rank reflects the GPU’s performance class. The nearest GPU rivals — Intel Arc A310 (7550 avg score, -1% delta) and AMD Radeon HD 8850M (7447, 0.3% delta) — are similarly low-performing parts, and any of those pairings would likely produce comparable ranks. The 4K Ultra result of 14 FPS and 4K High result of 21 FPS are among the lowest possible playable thresholds, confirming that this combo is positioned at the entry-level tier of the database.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset for this combo depends on the target resolution and the user’s tolerance for frame rate variability. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset provides the best balance: 57 FPS average, with a minimum of 48 FPS and maximum of 66 FPS. This stays above the 30 FPS playability threshold and offers smoother motion than High (52 FPS average) or Ultra (33 FPS average). Low settings at 1080p yield 73 FPS, which is the highest measured average, but the visual quality trade-off is significant; Medium is recommended for a more playable visual experience without sacrificing frame stability.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers 50 FPS average, while Medium drops to 40 FPS (minimum 34, maximum 45). High falls to 36 FPS, and Ultra to 23 FPS. For 1440p, Low is the only preset that consistently exceeds 60 FPS, and even that is marginal. Medium is usable at 40 FPS, but the minimum of 34 FPS approaches the threshold where stutter can become noticeable. At 3840x2160, only Low (30 FPS) reaches the minimum playable average; Medium (24 FPS), High (21 FPS), and Ultra (14 FPS) all fall below 30 FPS, making 4K effectively unplayable for smooth action. The data suggests that 1080p Medium is the best overall experience, offering a 57 FPS average with a minimum above 45 FPS, which is the highest minimum among all preset-resolution combinations except 1080p Low (which has no reported min FPS but a higher average).

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers four resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). At 1920x1080, the average FPS values are: Low 73, Medium 57 (min 48, max 66), High 52, and Ultra 33. This shows a 40 FPS spread between Low and Ultra, with the step from High to Ultra being the largest single drop (19 FPS). At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low 50, Medium 40 (min 34, max 45), High 36, and Ultra 23. The spread narrows to 27 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls below 30 FPS. At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low 30, Medium 24 (min 20, max 27), High 21, and Ultra 14. Here, every preset except Low is below 30 FPS, and the Ultra result of 14 FPS is the lowest in the entire data set.

The Medium preset is the only one with reported minimum and maximum FPS values across all three resolutions. At 1080p, the medium range is 48-66 FPS; at 1440p, it is 34-45 FPS; and at 4K, it is 20-27 FPS. These ranges indicate that even within a single preset, frame pacing varies significantly, with the 4K Medium minimum of 20 FPS being particularly low. The lack of min/max data for other presets limits deeper analysis, but the averages alone tell a clear story: the combo’s performance degrades predictably with both resolution and settings, and the GPU’s ceiling is reached at 1080p Medium/High.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings. For Low, the average falls from 73 FPS at 1080p to 50 FPS at 1440p (a 23 FPS drop) and then to 30 FPS at 4K (a 20 FPS drop from 1440p). For Medium, the progression is 57 FPS at 1080p, 40 FPS at 1440p, and 24 FPS at 4K. High goes from 52 FPS at 1080p to 36 FPS at 1440p and 21 FPS at 4K. Ultra starts at 33 FPS at 1080p, drops to 23 FPS at 1440p, and ends at 14 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are roughly proportional to the pixel count increase: moving from 1080p to 1440p increases pixels by about 78%, and the FPS drops range from 23 FPS (Low) to 10 FPS (Ultra), while moving from 1440p to 4K increases pixels by about 125%, with FPS drops ranging from 20 FPS (Low) to 9 FPS (Ultra).

This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at all resolutions. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the FPS to plateau at lower resolutions (e.g., 1080p Low might not improve much over 1080p High), but the data shows a clear monotonic decrease with resolution. The GTX 1650’s 128.1 GB/s memory bandwidth and 4 GB VRAM are insufficient for 4K workloads, as evidenced by the sub-30 FPS averages. Even at 1080p, the Ultra preset (33 FPS) is only marginally above the playability threshold, suggesting that the GPU’s 2.984 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is saturated by the game’s effects at higher presets. The Ryzen 5 5600F, with its 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and 6 cores, does not appear to limit performance, as the FPS scales with GPU load rather than CPU load. In summary, the resolution scaling data confirms that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming, with 1440p requiring Low settings for playability and 4K being outside the practical range except at Low settings with a 30 FPS average.
