Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER produces a wide spread of frame rates in Greedfall, depending entirely on the settings preset selected. Across the measured rows, the High preset at 2560x1440 delivers 155.3 FPS, which is the most balanced point in the dataset. At this setting, the frame rate is high enough to saturate a 144Hz display comfortably, while the visual load remains far below the taxing Ultra preset. The Medium preset at 1440p is also strong at 172.2 FPS, but High offers a better visual return for the modest drop from Medium. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset reaches 146.2 FPS, which is playable on high-refresh panels, but the 102.7 FPS at 1440p Ultra shows a steep cost for the extra detail. For users prioritizing smoothness over maximum fidelity, the High preset at 1440p is the recommendation; it avoids the 60.4 FPS collapse seen at 4K Ultra while still providing a substantial quality uplift over Low.

How This Combo Ranks

The Ryzen 5 5600GT and RTX 4080 SUPER combination ranks 115th out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the top 6.9% of all configurations benchmarked. This is a strong showing, but not a top-tier result. The CPU itself sits at the 78th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 20740. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700, scores 20746 (a delta of 0%), meaning the two are effectively tied. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is 0.3% ahead at 20680, while the Intel Core i5-12490F trails by 0.3% at 20794. The GPU is more dominant: the RTX 4080 SUPER ranks at the 88th percentile among all GPUs, with an average score of 53610. Its closest competitor, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, scores 53489 (0.2% behind), while the Radeon Pro W6600M is 0.4% behind at 53414. The large gap between the CPU's 78th percentile and the GPU's 88th percentile suggests the processor is the limiting factor in this pairing. The combo's 115th rank reflects this imbalance: the GPU is capable of much higher frame rates, but the CPU holds the result back in CPU-bound scenarios, particularly at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this configuration. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. The memory clock runs at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). The GPU's base clock is 2295 MHz, boosting to 2550 MHz, and it houses 10240 shading units alongside 320 TMUs and 112 ROPs. In Greedfall, the GPU's role is most evident at 4K, where the frame rate drops from 128.2 FPS at Low to 60.4 FPS at Ultra. This 67.8 FPS swing at 4K is far larger than the 167.4 FPS swing at 1080p (from 313.6 FPS Low to 146.2 FPS Ultra), indicating that the GPU is heavily taxed by the resolution and settings combination. The 16 GB VRAM is not a constraint in this title, as even the 4K Ultra preset only requires a fraction of that capacity; the bottleneck is purely computational. The GPU's 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is sufficient to push 95.1 FPS at 4K High, but the 60.4 FPS at 4K Ultra shows that the most demanding preset still overwhelms the card's raw throughput.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers three resolutions and four settings each, producing twelve distinct data points. At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces 313.6 FPS, Medium drops to 251.3 FPS, High yields 226.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 146.2 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 167.4 FPS, a 53.4% reduction. At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts: Low produces 219.9 FPS, Medium 172.2 FPS, High 155.3 FPS, and Ultra 102.7 FPS. The reduction from Low to Ultra is 117.2 FPS, or 53.3%. At 3840x2160, Low yields 128.2 FPS, Medium 102.6 FPS, High 95.1 FPS, and Ultra 60.4 FPS. Here, the drop from Low to Ultra is 67.8 FPS, or 52.9%. The relative scaling is remarkably consistent across resolutions, with the Ultra preset always costing roughly 53% of the Low preset's performance. However, the absolute numbers tell a different story: at 1080p, even Ultra exceeds 144 FPS, while at 4K, only Low and Medium exceed 100 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 60.4 FPS is the only sub-60 result in the entire dataset, making it the single point where the combination fails to maintain high-refresh playability.

Resolution Scaling

Scaling from 1080p to 4K produces a predictable but steep decline in frame rates. At the Low preset, the drop from 313.6 FPS (1080p) to 128.2 FPS (4K) represents a 59.1% reduction. At Medium, the fall from 251.3 FPS to 102.6 FPS is a 59.2% reduction. For High, 226.1 FPS drops to 95.1 FPS, a 57.9% reduction. At Ultra, 146.2 FPS falls to 60.4 FPS, a 58.7% reduction. The consistency of these reductions—all between 57.9% and 59.2%—indicates that the GPU is the primary scaling factor across all settings. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the 1080p to 1440p transition would show a smaller drop than the 1440p to 4K transition, since the CPU load per frame would be lower at higher resolutions. Instead, the data shows a nearly linear scaling with pixel count: the pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K, and the frame rate drops by roughly 59%, which aligns with a GPU-bound scenario where the RTX 4080 SUPER's compute and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors. The exception is at 1080p Low, where the 313.6 FPS result approaches the CPU's practical limit for this game; at this point, the Ryzen 5 5600GT's single-thread performance (a 3DMark single-thread score of 913) begins to cap the output. This is corroborated by the fact that the 1080p to 1440p drop at Low (313.6 to 219.9 FPS, a 29.8% decline) is smaller than the 1440p to 4K drop (219.9 to 128.2 FPS, a 41.7% decline), showing that the CPU is less of a factor as resolution increases. Overall, the combination is GPU-limited at 4K and CPU-limited only at 1080p Low, making the RTX 4080 SUPER the correct component to upgrade if higher frame rates are desired at lower resolutions.
