Greedfall

Greedfall, an Action RPG released in 2019, presents a demanding workload for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination. The measured data reveals a configuration that is highly capable at mainstream resolutions but shows clear limits when pushed to maximum settings and 4K. The benchmark results are consistent across all tested presets, showing a smooth progression of frame rates as resolution and quality settings are adjusted. The Ryzen 5 5600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides a solid foundation, while the RTX 4060’s 8 GB of VRAM and Ada Lovelace architecture drive the visuals.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide a clear hierarchy for the best experience. For users with a 1920x1080 display, the High preset delivers an excellent balance, achieving an average of 112 FPS. This is well above the smoothness threshold and leaves headroom for demanding scenes. While the Low preset hits 180 FPS and Medium reaches 146 FPS, the jump to High only costs about 34 FPS compared to Medium, but offers a substantial visual upgrade. Pushing to Ultra at 1080p drops the average to 85 FPS; this is still playable, but the performance cost for the highest settings is significant.

At 2560x1440, the High preset remains the optimal choice, averaging 74 FPS. This resolution is where the RTX 4060 starts to work harder, but the experience remains fluid. The Medium preset at 96 FPS is also viable for competitive play or if users prefer extra performance headroomched. However, selecting Ultra at this resolution reduces the frame rate to 56 FPS, which begins to compromise the smoothness of gameplay. The Low preset at 119 FPS is available but sacrifices too much visual fidelity for a nominal gain over High.

For 4K (3840x2160), the data suggests that Low is the only truly fluid option, with an average of 66 FPS. The Medium preset yields 53 FPS, which is borderline, while High and Ultra fall to 41 FPS and 31 FPS respectively, making them unsuitable for consistent, responsive play. Benchmark results indicate that the sweet spot for this hardware combo is the High preset at 1080p and 1440p. At 4K, users should expect to use the Low preset to maintain acceptable performance, as the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination is ranked 2117 out of 3703 tested combos for Greedfall. This places the pairing in the middle of the database, indicating it is a competent, mainstream solution rather than a high-end enthusiast setup.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the primary driver of visual performance in this configuration. The GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features a 5 nm process node from TSMC. It has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The card’s boost clock is rated at 2460 MHz, with a base clock of 1830 MHz. The data shows that the GPU’s performance is central to the frame rates observed; as resolution increases, the frame rate drops significantly, which is a classic sign of the GPU becoming the bottleneck.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a key factor in this game’s results. At 1080p, the RTX 4060 has ample memory, allowing for high settings without issue. However, as the resolution increases to 4K, the demands on VRAM likely grow, and the card still manages to deliver 41 FPS on High settings. The fact that the frame rate at 4K is lower than at 1080p across all settings confirms that the GPU is the limiting component. The data shows the FP32 performance is 15.11 TFLOPS, and the pixel rate is 118.1 GPixel/s, which are substantial figures for a card in its class, but they are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at 4K with maxed-out settings. The GPU’s performance is also reflected in its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2302, which is a measure of its directx 12 capabilities.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows a clear and predictable scaling pattern across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are high, with 180 FPS on Low and 85 FPS on Ultra. Moving up to 2560x1440, the performance drops by a significant margin: the Low preset falls to 119 FPS, and the Ultra preset to 56 FPS. This represents a roughly 34% to 34% decrease in performance for the respective settings. The transition from 1440p to 3840x2160 results in an even more pronounced drop. At 4K, the Low preset averages 66 FPS, and the Ultra preset plummets to 31 FPS.

This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component. The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is consistent with the increase in pixel count, which places a heavier load on the GPU’s rendering pipeline. The CPU’s role becomes less critical at higher resolutions because the GPU is spending more time on each frame. The data shows that the RTX 4060 is well-suited for 1080p gaming, capable of high frame rates on all but the most demanding settings. At 1440p, it remains a solid performer, but at 4K, only the lowest settings provide a consistently smooth experience. The scaling from Ultra at 1080p (85 FPS) to Ultra at 4K (31 FPS) is a clear indicator of the GPU’s workload limitations.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G serves as the central processor, built on the Zen 3 architecture with a 7 nm process. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The CPU’s benchmark scores are strong for its class, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10551 and a single-core score of 1409. Its average benchmark score of 21088 places it in the 74th percentile of all CPUs, indicating it is a capable processor that should not bottleneck the GPU in most gaming scenarios.

In Greedfall, the CPU’s performance is likely sufficient to keep up with the RTX 4060, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU can render frames quickly. The data shows that at 1080p, the frame rates are high, suggesting the CPU is feeding the GPU with enough data. However, at 4K, the frame rates are lower, which is more likely due to GPU limitations than CPU bottlenecks. The CPU’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel memory support with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s contribute to its overall performance. The measured data shows the CPU’s performance is not the primary constraint in this game, as the frame rate scaling is consistent with the GPU’s capabilities. The 3DMark single-thread score of 872 suggests that even single-threaded tasks are handled adequately, ensuring the game’s logic and physics do not cause frame drops.
