Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers a robust performance profile in Greedfall, a 2019 Action RPG. The measured data reveals a system that is strongly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, yet shows signs of CPU limitation at 1080p. This analysis breaks down the benchmark results across resolutions, settings, and component roles, providing a clear picture of what this hardware pair achieves in this specific title.

Resolution Scaling

The benchmark data shows a predictable yet steep decline in frame rates as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, indicating a classic transition from a CPU-bound scenario to a GPU-bound one. At the High preset, the average FPS drops from 208 at 1080p to 144 at 1440p, a reduction of 30.8%. Scaling further to 4K yields an average of 86 FPS, which is 58.7% lower than the 1080p result. This pronounced drop-off between 1440p and 4K highlights the immense pixel-pushing demand placed on the GPU at 3840x2160.

The trend is consistent across all settings presets. For instance, at the Medium preset, the average FPS falls from 229 at 1080p to 159 at 1440p (a 30.6% decrease), and then to 95 at 4K (a 58.5% decrease from 1080p). The Low preset shows the most dramatic scaling, with averages of 291, 202, and 120 FPS across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. This represents a 58.8% drop from 1080p to 4K, suggesting that at the lowest settings, the CPU becomes a more significant bottleneck, preventing the GPU from fully stretching its legs at higher resolutions.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the Ryzen 5 5600F is the primary limiting factor, as evidenced by the relatively small gains from lowering settings. At 4K, however, the RTX 4070 Ti becomes the clear bottleneck, with the frame rate being heavily dictated by the resolution and graphical fidelity. The scaling pattern strongly suggests that for users prioritizing high refresh rates at 1080p, the CPU will cap performance, while those targeting 4K will find the GPU to be the definitive constraint.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, with its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, provides a substantial 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This is a critical asset for Greedfall, which features dense, detailed environments that require rapid texture streaming. The data shows that the GPU is capable of delivering very high frame rates, even at 4K, with an average of 86 FPS on High settings. The GPU's performance headroom is evident in the Low preset results, where it achieves 291 FPS at 1080p, indicating that its raw compute power is far from being fully utilized at lower resolutions.

The GPU's clock speeds, with a base of 2310 MHz and a boost of 2610 MHz, contribute to its strong performance. The benchmark results for the GPU show a Passmark G3D score of 31624, placing it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. This high percentile is reflected in the game's frame rates, which remain playable even at the most demanding settings. At the Ultra preset, the GPU manages 55 FPS at 4K and 133 FPS at 1080p, demonstrating its capability to handle the game's maximum visual fidelity, albeit with a significant performance cost.

The 12 GB VRAM capacity appears sufficient for Greedfall at all tested settings and resolutions, as no data suggests a memory capacity bottleneck. The GPU's role is clearly to be the dominant performance driver at 1440p and 4K, where the frame rates scale directly with the computational load. Its performance relative to its nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (deltaPct -0.8%) and the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (deltaPct -1.3%), shows that it is a highly competitive part, though its exact in-game lead varies with the workload.

How This Combo Ranks

In the comprehensive database of tested hardware combinations, this specific pairing of the Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 4070 Ti achieves a rank of 373 out of 2938 combos for Greedfall. This places the system in the top 12.7% of all tested configurations, indicating a high-performing setup for this game. The rank suggests that while this combo is not at the absolute top tier, it outperforms the vast majority of other CPU-GPU pairings in the database.

This ranking reflects the balance between the two components. While the CPU is in the 85th percentile overall, and the GPU in the 84th, their combined effort in Greedfall yields a result that is competitive with many more expensive or newer systems. The combo's rank implies that users can expect a smooth and high-fidelity experience without needing to reach for the most extreme hardware available. It is a strong mid-to-high-end contender, and the data suggests it will handle the game with ease at most settings.

The ranking also provides context for the measured FPS. A rank of 373 indicates that there are 372 combos that perform better, likely featuring newer or higher-tier CPUs and GPUs. However, the performance gap is not immense, as the frame rates achieved are still very high. This position in the rankings underscores the efficiency of the Zen 3 architecture and the Ada Lovelace GPU, which together form a formidable pairing for this title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. For users with a 1080p display, the High preset is an excellent choice, delivering an average of 208 FPS. This is more than sufficient for any high-refresh-rate monitor and provides a significant visual upgrade over Medium (229 FPS) for a relatively small performance cost. The Ultra preset at 1080p, which yields 133 FPS, is also viable and offers the best visual quality, though it sacrifices a considerable amount of performance.

At 1440p, the High preset again stands out as the sweet spot, achieving an average of 144 FPS. This aligns perfectly with 144Hz monitors, offering a buttery-smooth experience. The Medium preset provides a higher frame rate of 159 FPS, but the visual fidelity reduction is likely not worth the 15 FPS gain. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 92 FPS, which is still playable but may not be ideal for competitive or fast-paced action sequences.

For 4K gaming, the High preset is the recommended choice, providing an average of 86 FPS. This is a playable frame rate for a story-driven Action RPG and offers a good balance between visual quality and performance. The Medium preset at 4K (95 FPS) is a viable alternative for those who prioritize frame rate, but the Ultra preset (55 FPS) is best avoided unless visual fidelity is the absolute priority over smoothness. The Low preset is not recommended at any resolution due to the significant graphical compromises required for only modest FPS gains at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following breakdown details the exact average frame rates recorded for each resolution and settings combination.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F, a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, plays a crucial role in this system's performance. With a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, it provides solid single-threaded performance, as evidenced by its Passmark single-thread score of 2872. In Greedfall, a game that often relies on strong single-core performance for game logic and physics, this CPU ensures that the GPU is fed with data efficiently at lower resolutions.

The CPU's performance in the benchmark data is evident at 1080p, where the frame rates are exceptionally high but show a less pronounced scaling with GPU settings. For instance, the difference between Low and Ultra presets at 1080p is 158 FPS, whereas at 4K, this difference expands to 65 FPS. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is capable of producing frames faster than the GPU can render them, making it the limiting factor. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache is beneficial for gaming, as it reduces latency for frequently accessed data.

The Ryzen 5 5600F's overall benchmark score of 36945 places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (deltaPct 0) and the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D (deltaPct -0.2%), are extremely close in performance, indicating that this CPU is a well-balanced part. In Greedfall, the CPU's role is to provide a stable foundation, and while it may cap frame rates at 1080p, it does not detract from the playability of the game. The data confirms that the CPU is more than adequate for this title, as even at 4K Ultra, the system maintains a playable 55 FPS average, which confirms the overall balance of the hardware combo.
