Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 delivers a solid 1080p experience in Greedfall, but the data shows clear limits at higher resolutions. This combo ranks 2034 out of 2938 tested configurations in this game, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the pack. The measured frames per second across resolutions and settings reveal a system that is capable at 1080p, workable at 1440p with adjustments, and struggling at 4K. The Ryzen 5 7400F, a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 part with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, provides ample CPU headroom, while the RX 7600 with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus becomes the primary constraint as resolution climbs.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for this combo points to a clear best experience at 1080p with High settings. The average of 109 FPS at 1920x1080 High is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay, and it leaves enough headroom for demanding scenes without dipping into discomfort. Medium at 1080p yields 120 FPS average, but High offers a better visual quality for only an 11 FPS cost, making it the superior trade-off. Ultra at 1080p drops to 69 FPS average, which is playable but not ideal for a title where consistent frame pacing matters. Low at 1080p hits 152 FPS, but that setting sacrifices too much visual fidelity for a gain that most displays cannot even show.

At 2560x1440, the picture changes. High settings produce a 75 FPS average, which is a good target for a 60 Hz or even a 144 Hz monitor if you are willing to accept some variance. Medium at 1440p gives 83 FPS average with a minimum of 71 FPS, making it the safest choice for maintaining a stable frame rate. Low at 1440p reaches 106 FPS average, but the visual downgrade is noticeable on a larger screen. Ultra at 1440p falls to 48 FPS average, which is below the smoothness threshold for most players, so it is best avoided. For 1440p gaming, Medium is the recommended preset because it provides the best balance between the 83 FPS average and the 71 FPS minimum, ensuring that combat encounters do not stutter.

At 3840x2160, the data is less encouraging. High at 4K averages 45 FPS, which is borderline for a single-player RPG. Medium at 4K averages 50 FPS with a minimum of 42 FPS, indicating that frame drops will be noticeable in busy areas. Low at 4K reaches 63 FPS average, making it the only 4K preset that approaches a smooth experience. Ultra at 4K is not viable, with an average of 29 FPS. The recommendation for 4K is Low settings if you must run at that resolution, but the data suggests that this combo is not designed for native 4K gaming. A better strategy is to drop to 1440p and use Medium or High, which yields a far more consistent experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank in Greedfall is 2034 out of 2938 tested combinations, which places it in the 69th percentile of all tested systems. This is a mid-pack result, indicating that while the hardware is not a top-tier performer, it is also not a weak one. The CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F, has a percentile rank of 83 among all CPUs, showing that it is a strong processor relative to the wider market. However, the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 7600, has a percentile rank of 57 among all GPUs, which is average. The gap between the CPU’s strength and the GPU’s mediocrity explains why the combo does not rank higher—the GPU holds back the system in a game like Greedfall that scales heavily with graphics load.

Comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 7400F scores an average of 32750 in synthetic benchmarks. The Intel Core i5-14600T scores 32707, a delta of 0.1 percent, meaning the two are effectively identical in raw compute. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812, which is 0.2 percent higher, again a negligible difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 scores 32662, which is 0.3 percent lower. These deltas are within noise, so the CPU is not a differentiating factor in this combo’s ranking. The GPU tells a similar story. The RX 7600 has an average benchmark score of 15171. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, which is 0.2 percent higher. The AMD Radeon Pro 560X scores 15082, a 0.6 percent difference. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270, which is 0.7 percent higher. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti scores 15063, 0.7 percent lower. These rival GPUs are all in the same performance class, so the RX 7600 is neither a standout nor a laggard.

The ranking of 2034 out of 2938 suggests that many other combos deliver higher frame rates in this specific game. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor, as the CPU has plenty of headroom. In Greedfall, which is an Action RPG from 2019, the graphics workload dominates at higher resolutions. The RX 7600’s 8 GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are modest by modern standards, and the measured FPS at 4K confirms that the GPU cannot push enough pixels. The CPU’s strong single-thread and multi-thread scores, such as 3072 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 21765 in multi-core, are irrelevant when the GPU is saturated. This combo ranks where it does because the GPU sits at the 57th percentile, dragging the overall result down from what the CPU alone could achieve.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 152 FPS. This is the highest score in the entire dataset and shows that the CPU and GPU have no trouble at all when the graphics load is minimal. The Medium preset at 1080p averages 120 FPS, with a minimum of 102 FPS and a maximum of 138 FPS. The High preset at 1080p averages 109 FPS, which is a solid result for a modern title. The Ultra preset at 1080p averages 69 FPS, which is the lowest score at this resolution but still playable.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 106 FPS. This is a drop of 46 FPS from the 1080p Low result, indicating that resolution scaling has a significant impact even on low settings. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 83 FPS, with a minimum of 71 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. The High preset at 1440p averages 75 FPS, which is close to the Medium result but with better visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 48 FPS, which is a substantial drop from the 69 FPS seen at 1080p Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 63 FPS. This is the only 4K setting that approaches a smooth experience, though it is still below the 75 FPS threshold that many players consider ideal. The Medium preset at 4K averages 50 FPS, with a minimum of 42 FPS and a maximum of 57 FPS. The High preset at 4K averages 45 FPS, which is borderline for a game like Greedfall. The Ultra preset at 4K averages 29 FPS, which is not viable for actual gameplay. The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, the average FPS drops by roughly 30-40 percent for each step up, and the GPU becomes the limiting factor.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent. At 1080p High, the average is 109 FPS. At 1440p High, it drops to 75 FPS, a decrease of 34 FPS or about 31 percent. At 4K High, the average is 45 FPS, which is a further drop of 30 FPS from 1440p, or about 40 percent. This pattern repeats across all settings. For Low settings, 1080p averages 152 FPS, 1440p averages 106 FPS (a 30 percent drop), and 4K averages 63 FPS (a 41 percent drop from 1440p). For Medium settings, 1080p averages 120 FPS, 1440p averages 83 FPS (a 31 percent drop), and 4K averages 50 FPS (a 40 percent drop). For Ultra settings, 1080p averages 69 FPS, 1440p averages 48 FPS (a 30 percent drop), and 4K averages 29 FPS (a 40 percent drop).

The consistent 30 percent drop from 1080p to 1440p and the 40 percent drop from 1440p to 4K indicate that the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The RX 7600 has a memory bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory. At 4K, the pixel count quadruples from 1080p, and the GPU cannot maintain the same throughput. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is not the issue here. The Ryzen 5 7400F has a boost clock of 4.70 GHz and a strong single-thread score of 3072 in Cinebench R23. If the CPU were limiting, the FPS drop would be more pronounced at lower resolutions, where the CPU has to feed more frames. Instead, the FPS drops most sharply at higher resolutions, which is a classic sign of GPU saturation.

The data suggests that the limiting component is the GPU. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 152 FPS, which shows that the CPU can handle a high frame rate. As the resolution increases, the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth become insufficient. The RX 7600’s 128-bit memory bus is narrow compared to higher-end cards, and the 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for 1080p but strained at 4K. The measured FPS at 4K Medium, with a minimum of 42 FPS, shows that the GPU is hitting its limits. For players who want to play at 1440p or 4K, the data indicates that they should lower settings to compensate, but even then, the 4K experience is not smooth.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture with a 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The CPU has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, offering a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 21765 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3072 in single-core. These numbers place it at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, meaning it is a strong performer for its class.

In Greedfall, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. The data shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this combo. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 152 FPS average, which is a high frame rate that demands significant CPU work. The fact that the CPU can sustain this shows that it has enough headroom. The nearest rivals to the Ryzen 5 7400F include the Intel Core i5-14600T, which scores 32707 in average benchmarks, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, which scores 32812. These differences are within 0.3 percent, so the CPU’s performance is not a distinguishing factor in this game.

The CPU’s 12 threads are useful for background tasks and multi-threaded workloads, but Greedfall is not a heavily threaded title. The game’s performance is more dependent on single-thread speed and GPU throughput. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s single-core score of 3072 in Cinebench R23 is solid, ensuring that the game’s main thread is not starved. However, as the resolution increases, the CPU’s workload decreases relative to the GPU’s, and the GPU becomes the sole limiter. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra, which averages 29 FPS, is not due to CPU limitations but rather the RX 7600’s inability to render at that resolution with high settings. The CPU’s high boost clock and efficient Zen 4 architecture mean that it will not hold back the GPU in most scenarios, but the GPU’s 57th percentile ranking means that this combo is destined for 1080p gaming. Players looking for higher resolutions should consider a more powerful GPU, as the CPU has proven it can handle frame rates well above what the RX 7600 can deliver at 1440p and 4K.
