Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination delivers a playable experience in Greedfall, with average frame rates ranging from 36 FPS at 4K Ultra to 192 FPS at 1080p Low. The data shows a system where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU's six Zen 4 cores provide ample headroom at 1080p. This combo ranks in the 1258th position out of 2938 tested configurations, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates reveal a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p High, the combo produces 137 FPS, which drops to 95 FPS at 1440p High—a reduction of approximately 31%. Moving to 4K High yields 57 FPS, which is a further 40% decline from the 1440p result. This steep drop-off indicates that the RTX 5060's 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and 128-bit bus are being heavily taxed at 4K, where pixel throughput demands outstrip the GPU's capacity.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is more moderate than the 1440p to 4K transition, suggesting that the GPU still has headroom at 1440p but becomes saturated at 4K. For instance, at Medium settings, the frame rate goes from 151 FPS at 1080p to 105 FPS at 1440p (a 30% drop), then to 62 FPS at 4K (a 41% drop). The pattern holds across all settings presets, with the 4K step consistently showing the largest relative decline. This behavior is classic GPU-limited scaling—the CPU's performance is sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but the render workload at 4K becomes the limiting factor.

At Low settings, the 1080p result of 192 FPS versus the 4K result of 79 FPS represents a 59% reduction, which is the largest percentage drop across all settings. This wide gap at low graphical fidelity highlights that even with minimal shading work, the memory bandwidth and fill rate of the RTX 5060 cannot sustain high frame rates at 4K. Conversely, the smallest relative drop occurs at Ultra settings, where 87 FPS at 1080p falls to 36 FPS at 4K—a 59% decrease as well, but from a much lower starting point, indicating that the Ultra preset imposes a heavy load at every resolution.

Settings Recommendations

For users targeting 60 FPS as a minimum playable threshold, the data provides clear guidance. At 4K, only the Medium preset achieves an average above 60 FPS (62 FPS), though the minimum of 53 FPS indicates occasional dips below that threshold. The High preset at 4K averages 57 FPS, which is close but not consistently above 60. For a locked 60 FPS experience at 4K, the Medium preset is the highest setting that delivers acceptable average performance, with the caveat that frame times may vary.

At 1440p, the High preset delivers 95 FPS average, which provides substantial headroom above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p achieves 61 FPS average, placing it right at the threshold. For users prioritizing visual quality at 1440p, Ultra is viable but leaves little margin for demanding scenes. The Medium preset at 1440p (105 FPS average) offers a good balance between visual fidelity and performance stability, with a minimum of 89 FPS ensuring smooth gameplay.

At 1080p, all presets deliver playable frame rates. Even Ultra achieves 87 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold. For users with high refresh rate displays, the Medium preset at 151 FPS (minimum 128) and Low preset at 192 FPS provide options for maximizing smoothness. The High preset at 137 FPS offers a middle ground between visual quality and performance. Given the data, the High preset at 1080p appears to be the sweet spot, delivering 137 FPS with the visual enhancements that the game's 2019 release date supports.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB206 chip, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process with 21,900 million transistors. Its 8 GB of GDDR7 memory operates at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) across a 128-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU's 3840 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 48 ROPs provide the computational resources for rasterization, while 30 RT cores and 120 tensor cores offer ray tracing and AI acceleration capabilities.

In Greedfall, the GPU's performance profile is clearly the dominant factor in determining frame rates. The scaling analysis shows that the RTX 5060's fill rate and memory bandwidth become saturated at 4K, particularly at higher settings presets. The pixel rate of 119.9 GPixel/s and texture rate of 299.6 GTexel/s are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming but struggle to maintain high frame rates at 4K Ultra, where the 36 FPS result indicates a severe bottleneck.

The GPU's boost clock of 2497 MHz and base clock of 2280 MHz provide the raw compute throughput for the 19.18 TFLOPS FP32 performance. This level of compute power is adequate for the game's DirectX 12 rendering path, as evidenced by the 137 FPS at 1080p High. However, the 8 GB VRAM capacity, while sufficient for Greedfall's 2019-era textures, limits the headroom for higher resolution assets. The 448 GB/s bandwidth is a notable constraint at 4K, where the memory subsystem must feed more pixels and textures to the shading units.

The RTX 5060's synthetic benchmark results place it at 72nd percentile among all GPUs, with an average score of 26331. Its nearest rivals—the AMD Radeon 860M, NVIDIA GeForce MX550, and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT—are all within 1.2% of its score, indicating that the RTX 5060 delivers competitive performance in its segment. The PassMark G3D score of 20891 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3628 provide reference points for its computational capabilities, though the in-game results show that Greedfall's specific rendering characteristics amplify the GPU's memory bandwidth limitations at 4K.
