Greedfall

This pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Greedfall, but 4K Ultra demands significant compromises. The data shows a clear progression where the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution climbs, while the six-core CPU keeps pace admirably at lower settings.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 122.2 FPS at 1920x1080 to 85.6 FPS at 2560x1440, then plunges to 49.3 FPS at 3840x2160. That is a 60% reduction from 1080p to 4K, indicating the RTX 2070 SUPER is being pushed hard at the highest resolution.

The pattern is consistent across all settings. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings drops the average from 168.1 FPS to 117 FPS, a 30% decline. The 1440p to 4K transition is even more punishing: Low settings fall from 117 FPS to 71.6 FPS, a 39% drop. This non-linear scaling suggests that at 4K, the GPU's memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s and its 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer become strained, especially with higher detail levels.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is brutal. The average FPS at 1080p is 76.6, which drops to 50.5 at 1440p and bottoms out at 32.9 at 4K. The gap between 1440p and 4K Ultra is 35%, showing that the 2070 SUPER simply lacks the raw pixel throughput to maintain playable rates at the top preset. Conversely, the Ryzen 5 5600GT with its 6 cores and 12 threads appears to handle the CPU-side workload well; the frame rate differences between resolutions at Low settings are entirely attributable to GPU load, not processor limitations.

Settings Recommendations

For a smooth experience at 1920x1080, the High preset is the sweet spot. At 122.2 FPS, it is well above the 60 FPS threshold and only 7 FPS behind the Medium preset's 129.3 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra costs 45.6 FPS, dropping to 76.6, which is a severe penalty for marginal visual gains. Low settings at 1080p hit 168.1 FPS, but that is unnecessary headroom for most displays.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset delivers 88.9 FPS, which is the best balance of fluidity and visual fidelity. High settings are close at 85.6 FPS, but Medium offers a small buffer. Ultra at 1440p is not recommended, as 50.5 FPS is borderline for action RPG combat. Low settings at 1440p produce 117 FPS, but that sacrifices too much detail for a game like this.

For 3840x2160, only Low settings are viable, producing 71.6 FPS. Medium drops to 57 FPS, which may be acceptable for slower exploration but will feel stuttery in combat. High at 49.3 FPS and Ultra at 32.9 FPS are not recommended for any serious gameplay. Stick to Low at 4K if you must use this resolution, or drop to 1440p for the full experience.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination ranks 1035 out of 1705 tested combos for Greedfall, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database. The percentile position suggests that while this setup is far from the top, it is not a weak pairing either. The RTX 2070 SUPER sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22206. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307, a delta of -0.5%, meaning the 2070 SUPER is essentially on par with that professional card in raw compute.

The CPU is relatively stronger. The Ryzen 5 5600GT is at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20740. Its closest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700, scores 20746, a negligible delta of 0%. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is 0.3% ahead at 20680, while the Intel Core i5-12490F is 0.3% behind at 20794. This CPU is well-matched to the GPU's capabilities; neither component is drastically over- or under-powered for the other.

The combo rank of 1035 out of 1705 indicates that many other pairings achieve higher frame rates in Greedfall. This is likely due to the 2070 SUPER's age, as it is end-of-life production status. The data shows the GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing, especially at higher resolutions, which is consistent with its 65th percentile standing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are 168.1 FPS for Low, 129.3 FPS for Medium, 122.2 FPS for High, and 76.6 FPS for Ultra. The delta between Low and Ultra is 91.5 FPS, a 54% reduction. The step from High to Ultra is the largest single drop at 45.6 FPS, suggesting a significant increase in shader or texture complexity at that preset.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 117 FPS for Low, 88.9 FPS for Medium, 85.6 FPS for High, and 50.5 FPS for Ultra. The gap between Medium and High is only 3.3 FPS, making those two presets nearly interchangeable in performance. The drop from High to Ultra is 35.1 FPS, again showing Ultra as a performance killer.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 71.6 FPS for Low, 57 FPS for Medium, 49.3 FPS for High, and 32.9 FPS for Ultra. The scaling from Low to Medium is a 14.6 FPS loss, from Medium to High is a 7.7 FPS loss, and from High to Ultra is a 16.4 FPS loss. The jump to Ultra at 4K is crippling, producing less than half the frame rate of Low settings.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Greedfall at 60 FPS on 1080p?

A: Yes, easily. The High preset averages 122.2 FPS, and even Ultra hits 76.6 FPS, both well above the 60 FPS target.

Q: What is the best resolution for this pairing?

A: The data shows 2560x1440 on Medium is the best balance, delivering 88.9 FPS. At 1080p you get higher frame rates, but 1440p uses the GPU's 8 GB GDDR6 memory more effectively.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 5600GT compare to its closest CPU rival?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is 0.3% ahead in average benchmark score, while the Intel Core i5-12490F is 0.3% behind. The Intel Core i7-10700 is essentially identical with a 0% delta.

Q: Is the RTX 2070 SUPER holding back the CPU?

A: At 1080p Low, the 168.1 FPS result indicates the GPU is still keeping up. At 4K Ultra, the 32.9 FPS result shows the GPU is the clear bottleneck, not the 6-core processor.

Q: What preset should I avoid entirely?

A: Ultra at 3840x2160 is the worst choice, producing only 32.9 FPS. Even High at 4K is marginal at 49.3 FPS, so avoid anything above Low at that resolution.

Q: How does this combo rank against all tested systems?

A: It ranks 1035 out of 1705 combos for Greedfall. This places it in the lower half, reflecting the GPU's age but not a fundamentally broken pairing.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, built on a 7 nm process. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and it has a 65 W TDP. The available cache includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. The benchmark data shows that at 1080p Low, the frame rate reaches 168.1 FPS, which is far beyond what the RTX 2070 SUPER can sustain at higher settings. This indicates the CPU is not a limiting factor at that resolution. Even at 1440p Low, the 117 FPS result suggests the processor has ample headroom.

The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by Cinebench R23 single-core at 2438, is strong enough for this game's typical engine workloads. The multi-core score of 17272 in Cinebench R23 shows that the 12 threads are utilized well, but Greedfall does not appear to be a heavily threaded title, as the scaling from 1080p to 4K is entirely GPU-bound. The CPU's percentile ranking of 78th among all CPUs means it outperforms the majority of processors, and its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700, has an identical average score of 20746.

The 5600GT includes integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics, but in this pairing, the discrete RTX 2070 SUPER handles all rendering. The CPU's 16 MB L3 cache and 7 nm process node contribute to its efficiency, but for Greedfall specifically, the data shows that the processor is never the bottleneck. The frame rate differences across resolutions are consistent with a GPU-limited scenario, where the 2070 SUPER's pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s dictate the ceiling.
