Greedfall

Greedfall, an Action RPG released in 2019, presents a specific set of demands on a system. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a compelling performance profile, but the data reveals a clear division of labor between the processor and the graphics card. This analysis examines the measured frame rates to show how this combination behaves across resolutions and settings.

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 from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture. Its base clock is 3.90 GHz, which can boost up to 4.40 GHz. This CPU also integrates Radeon Vega 7 graphics, but in this configuration, it is paired with a dedicated GPU. The CPU's cache layout includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. For system memory, it supports DDR4 in a dual-channel configuration, offering a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In the context of Greedfall, the CPU's performance is sufficient to keep up with the RTX 4070 SUPER at most settings. The benchmark data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 276 FPS. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding frames to the GPU without becoming a bottleneck at lower graphical loads. The processor's multi-threaded capabilities, as seen in synthetic tests, are adequate for the game's AI and physics calculations. However, the data also suggests that the GPU's role becomes more dominant as the resolution and settings increase, which is typical for a title of this generation.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

When looking at the broader picture, this specific combination of the Ryzen 5 5600G and RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 301 out of 1705 tested combos in this game. This places it in the top 17.7% of all systems tested, indicating a strong overall performance tier. The ranking shows that while the GPU is a high-end part, the CPU is a more mid-range component, which pulls the overall combo rank down from what it would be with a more powerful processor.

This rank is a reflection of the system's balance. The RTX 4070 SUPER is a potent GPU, but the Ryzen 5 5600G, with its 6 cores, may not extract every last frame from it in CPU-limited scenarios. The data shows that this is not a top 100 combo, but it is far from a weak one. For a game like Greedfall, which is not heavily threaded, the 6-core CPU is generally enough to maintain high frame rates, but the rank shows that there is headroom for a stronger CPU to improve performance in certain conditions.

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

The scaling of average FPS across resolutions reveals the shifting bottleneck between the CPU and GPU. At 1080p with High settings, the system delivers 200.2 FPS. Moving to 1440p, the average drops to 136.2 FPS, a decrease of 32%. At 4K, the average falls to 81.6 FPS, a further 40% drop from 1440p. This pattern is a classic sign of a system that is GPU-limited at higher resolutions.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU has more influence on the result, as the GPU has spare capacity. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary constraint, with the CPU's role diminishing. This is confirmed by the Low settings results: at 1080p Low, the system hits 276 FPS, but at 4K Low, it still manages 114 FPS. The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K with Low settings is 58.7%, which is less severe than the drop with High settings, indicating that the GPU is still the main limiting factor but that the CPU is not entirely irrelevant.

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

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across all settings. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 128.8 at Ultra settings to 276 at Low settings. Specifically, the 1080p results are: Low at 276 FPS, Medium at 216.7 FPS, High at 200.2 FPS, and Ultra at 128.8 FPS. This shows a significant performance penalty for the Ultra preset, which is 35.7% lower than High.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are still very playable. The results show: Low at 192.6 FPS, Medium at 150.5 FPS, High at 136.2 FPS, and Ultra at 86.2 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra at 1440p is 36.7%, which is a noticeable hit to visual fidelity for a smoother experience. The 4K results, at 3840x2160, show: Low at 114 FPS, Medium at 91.2 FPS, High at 81.6 FPS, and Ultra at 53.6 FPS. At 4K Ultra, the system drops below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that this setting is too demanding for a consistently smooth experience.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing. It is based on the AD104 chip and the Ada Lovelace architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process. The GPU has a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz. It is equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU also features 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, along with 56 ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores.

The GPU's performance in Greedfall is strong, particularly at 1440p and below. The data shows that the RTX 4070 SUPER can handle High settings at 1440p with an average of 136.2 FPS, which is more than adequate for a smooth experience. The 12 GB of VRAM is ample for this game, even at 4K with Ultra settings, though the average FPS of 53.6 suggests that the GPU's compute power is the limiting factor rather than memory capacity. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz is a key factor in its ability to maintain high frame rates, as the data demonstrates that it is not a bottleneck until 4K Ultra.
