Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Greedfall, though the data shows it struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 4K Ultra. This combination ranks in the 62nd percentile among the 1,705 tested combos, indicating a mid-to-upper tier pairing that favors high refresh rate gaming at lower resolutions over brute-force 4K performance.

FAQ

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

A: The data shows the strongest performance at 1920x1080, where the average frame rate ranges from 77.5 FPS at Ultra settings to 165.3 FPS at Low settings. At 2560x1440, the combo still delivers playable results, with average frame rates between 54.3 FPS (Ultra) and 116.3 FPS (Low).

Q: How does this combo rank against other tested configurations?

A: The combo ranks 1050th out of 1,705 tested combinations. This places it in the 62nd percentile of all tested combos for Greedfall, meaning it outperforms roughly six out of ten other configurations in this game.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 5600G a bottleneck for the RTX 2070 SUPER?

A: Benchmark data for the CPU shows a 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19,983. The GPU sits at the 65th percentile with an average score of 22,206. The CPU's performance headroom suggests it is not a limiting factor at the resolutions where the GPU shows its strengths.

Q: What are the measured frame rates at 4K resolution?

A: At 3840x2160, the combo achieves 70.1 FPS on Low settings, 51.7 FPS on Medium, 46.4 FPS on High, and drops to 31 FPS on Ultra. The Ultra setting at this resolution is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 22,206. It sits 0.5% behind the NVIDIA RTX A400 (22,307), 0.9% ahead of the GeForce GTX TITAN Z (22,006), 2.3% behind the RTX 4060 Mobile (22,729), and 2.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 (21,670).

Q: Does the CPU's integrated graphics affect performance in this game?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600G includes Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics, but the system uses the discrete RTX 2070 SUPER for rendering. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, provide the processing power for game logic while the GPU handles all graphics work.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary driver of Greedfall's visual output, and the measured frame rates clearly show its capabilities scaling with resolution. The GPU features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration proves sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the combo maintains average frame rates above 54 FPS even at maximum settings.

The GPU's clock speeds are modest by modern standards, with a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz. These clocks, combined with 2,560 shading units, produce a peak FP32 performance of 9.062 TFLOPS. The data shows this raw compute power translates into a 123 FPS average at 1080p High settings, demonstrating that the card has ample headroom for high-refresh-rate displays at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the GPU's memory bandwidth becomes more critical. The 8 GB frame buffer handles the increased resolution well, with the combo achieving 81.9 FPS on High settings and 93.8 FPS on Medium. The drop from Low to Medium settings at 1440p costs 22.5 FPS (from 116.3 to 93.8), while moving from High to Ultra costs 27.6 FPS (from 81.9 to 54.3). This pattern indicates that the Ultra preset at 1440p pushes the GPU's shading units and memory bandwidth to their limits.

The 4K results reveal the GPU's constraints. At 3840x2160, the card delivers 70.1 FPS on Low settings but falls to 31 FPS on Ultra. The performance cliff between Low and Medium at 4K (a drop from 70.1 to 51.7 FPS) suggests that the 8 GB memory capacity and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become bottlenecks as texture detail and draw distances increase. The GPU's 64 ROPs and 160 TMUs also contribute to the rendering pipeline, but the data indicates that at 4K Ultra, the card simply lacks the fill rate needed for smooth gameplay.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data reveals a clear sweet spot for this combo: 1920x1080 at High settings delivers an average of 123 FPS, which is an excellent balance of visual fidelity and performance. This configuration offers more than double the frame rate of the 4K Ultra preset while maintaining high-quality visuals.

For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, 1080p Low achieves 165.3 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset at 1080p provides 132.4 FPS, sacrificing only 9.4% of the Low preset's performance while delivering noticeably better visuals. At 1440p, the High preset at 81.9 FPS is the recommended choice for a smooth experience on higher-resolution displays, as it stays above the 60 FPS threshold with room to spare.

The Ultra preset at 1440p (54.3 FPS) and all 4K presets above Low (51.7 FPS or lower) fall below the ideal 60 FPS target. For 4K gaming, the Low preset at 70.1 FPS is the only playable option, but it sacrifices significant visual quality. The data suggests that users with 4K displays should either drop to 1440p for better visuals or accept the Low preset at native resolution. The Medium preset at 4K (51.7 FPS) offers a marginal improvement over High (46.4 FPS) but still falls short of the smoothness provided by the 1440p High setting.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1050 out of 1,705 tested combinations places it in the 62nd percentile of all configurations tested in Greedfall. This positioning indicates that while the pairing is not at the top of the performance charts, it outperforms the majority of other tested combos. The rank reflects a balanced pairing where the CPU's strong single-thread performance complements the GPU's mid-range capabilities.

Relative to its component parts, the combo's ranking is slightly lower than the CPU's individual percentile (78th) but higher than the GPU's percentile (65th). This suggests that the CPU has more headroom than the GPU in this game, meaning the RTX 2070 SUPER is the limiting factor in most scenarios. The measured frame rates support this interpretation: at 1080p, the combo achieves 165.3 FPS at Low settings, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame output, while the GPU becomes the constraint at higher resolutions and settings.

The rank also implies that other combos with higher-performing GPUs or more powerful CPUs achieve better results in Greedfall. The 1,705 total combos tested means the 1,050th position is solidly mid-pack, with roughly 655 combos performing worse. For a pairing of a 2021 CPU with a 2019 GPU, this ranking reflects the GPU's age and its position at the 65th percentile of all GPUs tested.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This 5000-series processor features 16 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration, delivering 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The CPU's single-thread performance is particularly strong, as shown by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,365 and Geekbench single-core score of 1,933.

In Greedfall, an Action RPG, the CPU's role is primarily handling game logic, AI, and physics calculations. The 12 threads provide ample parallel processing capacity, as evidenced by the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16,758 and PassMark multithread score of 19,717. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it delivers strong performance for this type of workload, and the data shows it does not bottleneck the GPU at 1080p resolutions.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Core i7-11600H (average score 19,949, 0.2% ahead), Intel Core i7-11800H (20,024, 0.2% behind), AMD EPYC 7713P (20,024, 0.2% behind), and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX (19,928, 0.3% ahead). These minimal deltas indicate the 5600G performs within a narrow band of these competitors, though the Threadripper and EPYC are workstation-class processors with vastly different core counts.

At 1080p Low settings, the combo reaches 165.3 FPS, which likely approaches the CPU's maximum frame output in this game. The measured frame rates at 1440p show a smaller drop from Low to Medium (116.3 to 93.8 FPS, a 19.3% decrease) compared to 4K (70.1 to 51.7 FPS, a 26.2% decrease), suggesting the CPU maintains consistent performance as resolution increases while the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The CPU's 7 nm process node and 65 W TDP also contribute to efficient operation, though these specifications do not directly impact gaming performance in the measured data.
