Greedfall

The benchmark data for Greedfall on the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 shows a clear progression of performance scaling as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combination produces an average of 143.6 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same High preset, the average drops to 101.9 FPS, a reduction of approximately 29%. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 58.5 FPS, which is a 42.6% decrease from the 1440p result and a 59.3% decrease from the 1080p result. This scaling pattern indicates that the rendering load is scaling heavily with pixel count. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is significant, but the subsequent drop to 4K is even more pronounced, suggesting that the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The data indicates that at 1080p, the system is likely less constrained by the GPU, as evidenced by the high frame rates, allowing other components to play a larger role in determining the final output.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The frame rate scaling across resolutions reveals a system that transitions from being relatively balanced at lower resolutions to being heavily GPU-bound at 4K. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves 202.3 FPS, which is a very high frame rate. When the resolution increases to 2560x1440, the Low preset yields 143.6 FPS, a 29% decrease. At 3840x2160, the Low preset drops to 86.7 FPS, which is a 39.6% decrease from 1440p. This pattern is consistent across all settings presets. For example, with the Medium preset, the frame rates are 163.3 FPS at 1080p, 110.4 FPS at 1440p, and 67.7 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling, with 96.7 FPS at 1080p, 64.1 FPS at 1440p, and 37.8 FPS at 4K. The consistent and substantial frame rate drops as resolution increases point directly to the GPU as the limiting component. The RTX 3070, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, is being tasked with an increasing number of pixels, and the data shows that its rendering throughput is the bottleneck. The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, is more than capable of feeding the GPU at 1080p, but its influence diminishes as the GPU's workload grows at higher resolutions.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070's specifications provide context for the measured performance in Greedfall. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1725 MHz. Its memory runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective, across a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The card has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, which is a substantial amount for a game released in 2019. The benchmark results show that at 4K with Ultra settings, the average frame rate falls to 37.8 FPS. This is the lowest score in the entire dataset, indicating that the combination of high resolution and the most demanding preset is extremely taxing on the GPU. The data shows that the RTX 3070 can handle the game well at 1440p, with the High preset delivering 101.9 FPS and the Ultra preset delivering 64.1 FPS. At 1080p, the GPU is not the limiting factor, as evidenced by the 202.3 FPS on Low settings. The GPU's performance sits in the 72nd percentile against all GPUs, and its average benchmark score is 28238. The data suggests that for Greedfall, the RTX 3070's 8 GB VRAM is sufficient, as the performance drops are more closely tied to the raw compute load of higher resolutions and settings rather than a memory capacity limitation. The GPU's compute capabilities are the primary driver of the frame rate differences between the Low and Ultra presets at any given resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance for this combination. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 202.3 FPS. The Medium preset produces 163.3 FPS. The High preset yields 143.6 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, with an average of 96.7 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 143.6 FPS. The Medium preset averages 110.4 FPS. The High preset averages 101.9 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 64.1 FPS. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 86.7 FPS. The Medium preset averages 67.7 FPS. The High preset averages 58.5 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 37.8 FPS. The data shows a consistent hierarchy: for any given resolution, the frame rate decreases as the settings preset moves from Low to Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra widens with resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 105.6 FPS. At 1440p, the difference is 79.5 FPS. At 4K, the difference is 48.9 FPS. This narrowing gap at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU's raw performance is becoming the dominant factor, and the relative cost of the Ultra preset's additional effects becomes less impactful when the overall frame rate is lower.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture. It has a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. Its benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16758 and a single-core score of 2365, indicate strong performance. The CPU sits in the 78th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19983. The nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11600H, which has an average score of 19949 and a deltaPct of 0.2, and the Intel Core i7-11800H, which has an average score of 20024 and a deltaPct of -0.2. This places the 5600G in a competitive position. In the context of Greedfall, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions. The data shows that at 1080p, the frame rates are very high, particularly on the Low preset at 202.3 FPS. This suggests that the CPU is capable of driving frame rates well above what the GPU can render at higher resolutions. At 4K, the CPU's influence is minimized, as the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, with the Ultra preset dropping to 37.8 FPS. The combination of the CPU's high single-thread performance and 12 threads ensures that it does not introduce a significant bottleneck at 1440p or 4K, allowing the GPU to be the primary determinant of the final frame rate.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 96.7 FPS, which is well above the standard 60 FPS target and provides the highest visual quality. The High preset at 143.6 FPS is also an excellent choice, offering a significant frame rate advantage over Ultra while still maintaining high visual fidelity. For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 202.3 FPS is the best option, but it sacrifices visual quality. At 2560x1440, the High preset at 101.9 FPS is the most balanced option, providing a smooth experience above 100 FPS with strong visual settings. The Medium preset at 110.4 FPS is a viable alternative for a slight performance boost. The Ultra preset at 64.1 FPS is playable but comes close to the 60 FPS threshold, making it a less comfortable choice for those sensitive to frame rate dips. At 3840x2160, the Medium preset at 67.7 FPS is the recommended choice for a playable experience, as it stays above 60 FPS. The Low preset at 86.7 FPS offers a more comfortable margin, but with lower visual quality. The High preset at 58.5 FPS falls just below 60 FPS, and the Ultra preset at 37.8 FPS is not recommended for a smooth experience. The data suggests that for 4K gaming, the Medium preset offers the best trade-off between visual quality and performance, while at 1440p, the High preset is the sweet spot.
