Greedfall

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and AMD Radeon RX 6600 shows a clear performance hierarchy across the four available presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 138.4 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure in the entire dataset. The Medium preset drops to 109 FPS, and High settles at 101.2 FPS. The Ultra preset, however, falls sharply to 64.6 FPS, representing a substantial reduction from the other settings.

For users prioritizing smoothness at 1080p, the Medium preset offers the best balance. It remains well above 60 FPS while providing a meaningful visual uplift over Low. The High preset is also viable, with an average of 101.2 FPS, but the gap between Medium and High is modest at only 7.8 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p is the only configuration that dips below the 70 FPS threshold, which suggests that the most demanding settings impose a heavy cost on this GPU.

At 2560x1440, the picture changes noticeably. The Low preset achieves 96.6 FPS, which is still excellent for a higher-resolution panel. Medium drops to 74 FPS, and High falls to 67.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p produces 45.3 FPS, which is below the standard 60 FPS target and indicates a compromised experience. For 1440p users, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it stays comfortably above 60 FPS while offering better fidelity than Low. The High preset remains playable, but the margin over Medium is narrow, and the performance cost may not justify the visual gains for all users.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly under strain. The Low preset yields 56.5 FPS, which is just under the 60 FPS target. Medium falls to 42.7 FPS, High to 41.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 28 FPS. The data indicates that 4K gaming with this combination is only feasible at Low settings, and even then, the experience is not fully smooth. The Ultra preset at 4K is effectively unplayable, with an average below 30 FPS.

The overall recommendation is to use Medium settings for both 1080p and 1440p, as these provide the best combination of visual quality and frame rate. For 4K, Low is the only reasonable option, and users should be prepared for occasional slowdowns.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 and then to 3840x2160 shows a clear pattern of diminishing frame rates. At the Low preset, the FPS drops from 138.4 at 1080p to 96.6 at 1440p, a reduction of 41.8 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 4K, the FPS drops from 96.6 to 56.5, a further reduction of 40.1 FPS. This represents a total drop of 81.9 FPS from 1080p to 4K, or approximately 59% of the original frame rate.

At the Medium preset, the scaling is similar. The FPS drops from 109 at 1080p to 74 at 1440p, a reduction of 35 FPS. From 1440p to 4K, the FPS drops from 74 to 42.7, a further reduction of 31.3 FPS. The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 66.3 FPS, or approximately 61% of the original frame rate.

The High preset shows a slightly different pattern. The FPS drops from 101.2 at 1080p to 67.3 at 1440p, a reduction of 33.9 FPS. From 1440p to 4K, the FPS drops from 67.3 to 41.7, a further reduction of 25.6 FPS. The total drop is 59.5 FPS, or approximately 59% of the original frame rate.

The Ultra preset exhibits the most severe scaling. The FPS drops from 64.6 at 1080p to 45.3 at 1440p, a reduction of 19.3 FPS. From 1440p to 4K, the FPS drops from 45.3 to 28, a further reduction of 17.3 FPS. The total drop is 36.6 FPS, or approximately 57% of the original frame rate.

The consistent percentage drop across presets suggests that the GPU is the primary limiting factor when moving to higher resolutions. The Radeon RX 6600's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p, but at 4K, the memory bandwidth becomes a bottleneck. The data indicates that the CPU is not the limiting component at higher resolutions, as the frame rate drops are proportionally similar regardless of the settings preset.
