Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination ranks 1064th out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the 71st percentile of all possible pairings. This is a strong result that indicates the combo is positioned well above the median for this Action RPG, though it is not at the very top tier. The ranking suggests that while the RTX 3080 provides substantial graphics horsepower, the Ryzen 5 5600GT’s mid-range positioning prevents this pairing from challenging the absolute best configurations. The data shows a system that will deliver a very playable experience across most settings, with the primary limitations appearing at the highest graphical presets and resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1064 out of 3703 tested configurations puts it in the upper third of all pairings, a solid position for a 1080p and 1440p gaming setup. This ranking is driven by the GPU’s high benchmark scores, as the RTX 3080 sits in the 68th percentile of all GPUs, while the CPU’s 74th percentile ranking among all processors is comparable. The pairing is balanced in terms of percentile placement, but the data reveals that the GPU is the primary contributor to the combo’s overall standing in Greedfall.

When compared to other potential pairings, this rank means the combination outperforms roughly 71% of all tested systems in this specific game. However, the gap to the top is significant, as the best combos likely pair the RTX 3080 with higher-end CPUs that can push frame rates higher at lower resolutions. The measured FPS data supports this interpretation, showing that at 1080p, the CPU becomes a limiting factor, preventing the GPU from reaching its full potential. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU load increases, and the combo’s rank reflects a more balanced workload where the RTX 3080’s power is more fully utilized.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is the dominant component in this pairing, with specifications that make it well-suited for high-resolution gaming. The GPU features 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s. This bandwidth is crucial for Greedfall’s detailed environments, as it allows the GPU to quickly access texture data without bottlenecking. The base clock runs at 1440 MHz, with a boost clock of 1710 MHz, and the card houses 8704 shading units, 272 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units.

The 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores indicate that the GPU is capable of handling ray-traced effects and DLSS, though the measured FPS data does not specify whether these features were enabled. The RTX 3080’s 29.77 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is substantial, and its pixel rate of 164.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 465.1 GTexel/s provide the raw throughput needed for Greedfall’s combat and exploration scenes. The GPU’s benchmark scores confirm its capability, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4407 and a Passmark G3D score of 25086.

In the context of Greedfall, the RTX 3080’s 10 GB VRAM is a key asset, as the game’s large, open zones and dense foliage require significant memory capacity. The data shows that the GPU is not the limiting factor at 1080p, where frame rates are high, but its role becomes more critical as resolution increases. At 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly stretched, with average FPS dropping to 45, indicating that the 10 GB VRAM and compute resources are fully taxed. The GPU’s performance relative to its nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA P106-100 and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16, shows a delta of -0.3%, putting it in a very tight competitive cluster, but the RTX 3080’s actual in-game results are far superior due to its architecture and driver optimization.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling across resolutions, with the RTX 3080’s workload increasing as pixel count rises. At 1080p High, the combo achieves an average of 170 FPS, which drops to 118 FPS at 1440p High, a reduction of approximately 31%. Moving to 4K High, the average FPS falls to 70, representing another 41% drop from 1440p. This scaling shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s influence diminishes.

The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is even more telling: 238 FPS at 1080p drops to 165 FPS at 1440p and then to 98 FPS at 4K. This indicates that even at low graphical settings, where the GPU’s workload is reduced, the resolution still has a significant impact, demonstrating that the RTX 3080’s rendering pipeline is the bottleneck at 4K. Conversely, the CPU’s role is most apparent at 1080p, where the frame rates are highest and the processor must keep up with the GPU’s output.

The data suggests that the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can maintain high frame rates with ease. At 4K, the performance is still playable on High settings, but the drop to 45 FPS at Ultra indicates that this resolution is the point where the combination starts to struggle. The scaling behavior is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at 4K, as the differences between Low and Ultra settings at that resolution are substantial, with Low achieving 98 FPS and Ultra achieving 45 FPS. This 53 FPS gap highlights the GPU’s sensitivity to graphical settings at high resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers excellent performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 238 FPS, which is exceptionally high and indicates that the CPU is the limiting factor at this resolution. Medium settings yield 187 FPS, with a minimum of 159 FPS and a maximum of 215 FPS, showing smooth and consistent frame delivery. High settings drop to 170 FPS, while Ultra settings reduce the average to 108 FPS. These numbers indicate that even at Ultra, the combo provides a very smooth experience at 1080p, with no risk of dropping below 60 FPS.

Moving to 1440p, the performance remains strong. Low settings average 165 FPS, Medium settings average 130 FPS with a minimum of 110 FPS and maximum of 149 FPS, and High settings average 118 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p produce an average of 75 FPS, which is still well within playable territory. The data shows a clear progression from Low to Ultra, with the GPU becoming more involved as settings increase, but the combo never falls below 75 FPS at this resolution, ensuring a responsive experience.

At 4K, the performance becomes more varied. Low settings average 98 FPS, which is still very high for 4K and indicates that the GPU has headroom when graphical effects are reduced. Medium settings drop to 77 FPS, with a minimum of 66 FPS and maximum of 89 FPS, showing some variability but remaining playable. High settings average 70 FPS, which is acceptable for most players. However, Ultra settings at 4K produce an average of 45 FPS, which is the only point where the combo dips below the 60 FPS threshold. This result shows that while the RTX 3080 is capable of 4K gaming, the Ultra preset is too demanding for this particular CPU-GPU pairing, likely due to the CPU’s inability to feed the GPU enough data at this resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It features a 16 MB L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The CPU’s 65W TDP and 7 nm process node make it an efficient choice, and its integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are present but irrelevant when paired with the RTX 3080.

In Greedfall, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p, where the high frame rates place a greater demand on the processor. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 238 FPS, which is likely near the CPU’s maximum throughput for this game. The CPU’s single-thread performance, as indicated by its 3DMark single-thread score of 913 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2438, is strong for a mid-range processor, but it cannot keep pace with the RTX 3080’s full potential at lower resolutions. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, and the CPU’s workload decreases, allowing it to keep up with the GPU’s output.

The CPU’s multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17272 and a Passmark multithread score of 20325, ensures that it can handle Greedfall’s background tasks and AI calculations without causing stutters. The processor’s 74th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates that it is a capable mid-range part, but its performance relative to rivals shows that it is slightly behind the Intel Core i5-12490F, which has a delta of -0.3%. This small gap is unlikely to be noticeable in Greedfall, as the game is not heavily CPU-bound at higher resolutions. The data confirms that the Ryzen 5 5600GT is sufficient for this pairing, but it does limit performance at 1080p, where the RTX 3080 could otherwise deliver even higher frame rates.
