Greedfall

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT in Greedfall — a pairing that sits near the middle of the database’s 1,705 tested combos. The data reveals a system that is consistently playable but rarely dominant, with performance that scales in predictable ways across presets and resolutions. The CPU’s six Zen 4 cores and the GPU’s RDNA 2 architecture produce a balanced profile, though the measured frames suggest the graphics card carries most of the load at higher settings.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Ryzen 5 7600 brings six cores and twelve threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. That configuration places it in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 26,617. Its nearest rivals are telling: the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D scores 26,574 (0.2% delta), the Intel Core i9-12900HK scores 26,672 (-0.2%), and the Intel Core i9-11900K scores 26,546 (0.3%). The 7600 essentially trades blows with these parts — a 0.3% spread across four chips means the CPU is not the bottleneck in most scenarios.

In Greedfall, the CPU’s single-threaded strength matters more than raw multi-core throughput. The 3DMark single-thread score of 999 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,246 indicate strong per-core performance, which suits an action RPG that likely relies on a primary game thread for simulation and AI. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1,938 and 4-thread score of 3,686 show that scaling remains healthy up to four threads, but the jump to 8 threads (5,508) and max threads (6,503) is modest. This suggests Greedfall does not heavily exploit the 7600’s twelve threads, so the CPU’s headroom is rarely tested — the data shows the processor is ready to feed the GPU at 1080p Low (181.5 FPS average), where the framerate ceiling is highest.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured rows at 1080p tell a clear story about diminishing returns. Low settings produce an average of 181.5 FPS, Medium drops to 141.8 FPS (-22%), and High settles at 129.9 FPS (-8% from Medium). Ultra, however, falls to 85.9 FPS — a 34% reduction from High. That Ultra penalty is steep, and it repeats at every resolution: at 1440p, Ultra averages 55.6 FPS versus 89.5 FPS on High; at 2160p, Ultra manages 32.1 FPS versus 55 FPS on High.

The data points to High as the optimal preset for this combo. At 1080p, High delivers 129.9 FPS — far above the 60 FPS threshold — while at 1440p it holds 89.5 FPS, and even at 4K it stays at 55 FPS, which is borderline playable. Medium offers marginal gains (141.8 FPS at 1080p, 101 FPS at 1440p) but sacrifices visual quality for a difference that few displays beyond 144 Hz will notice. Low is only useful for competitive framerates, but Greedfall is an Action RPG, not a twitch shooter. Ultra, meanwhile, is a trap: the 32.1 FPS at 4K and 55.6 FPS at 1440p suggest the GPU is overwhelmed by the preset’s demands, so the visual uplift is not worth the frame loss.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The scaling pattern across resolutions reveals a GPU-bound system. At High settings, the 7600 + RX 6700 XT combo delivers 129.9 FPS at 1080p, 89.5 FPS at 1440p, and 55 FPS at 2160p. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 31%, and from 1440p to 4K is another 39%. These are steep reductions, typical of a graphics card that is working hard to fill pixels — the RX 6700 XT’s 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 384.0 GB/s bandwidth are being taxed, not the CPU.

At Low settings, the same pattern holds but with higher absolute numbers: 181.5 FPS at 1080p, 126.9 FPS at 1440p, and 72.6 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low result is particularly telling — the framerate is 2.5 times higher than 4K Ultra, yet still below the 1080p Low figure by 60%. This suggests that even at Low, the GPU is the primary constraint; the CPU is capable of far more, as evidenced by its 3DMark max-thread score of 6,503, but the graphics pipeline cannot deliver beyond a certain point. The 7600’s role is to stay out of the way, and the data indicates it does — the framerate drops are consistent with pixel-count scaling, not CPU-thread saturation.

FAQ — 4-6 Q&A pairs answerable from FACT PACK data

Q: What is the best 4K preset for this combo?

A: High settings at 3840x2160 produce an average of 55 FPS, which is the highest playable figure at that resolution. Ultra drops to 32.1 FPS, Medium to 56.6 FPS (nearly identical to High), and Low to 72.6 FPS — but Low sacrifices too much visual fidelity for a marginal gain over High.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU at 1080p?

A: The data suggests no. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo averages 181.5 FPS, and the CPU’s 3DMark 2-thread score of 1,938 and single-thread score of 999 indicate strong per-core performance. The framerate ceiling is high enough that the GPU, not the CPU, is the limiting factor.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 7600 compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The 7600’s average benchmark score of 26,617 is within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (26,574), Intel Core i9-12900HK (26,672), and Intel Core i9-11900K (26,546). This is effectively a tie — the 7600 is neither ahead nor behind by a meaningful margin.

*Q: Is the RX 6700 XT’s 12 GB VRAM sufficient for Greedfall?*

A: The measured data shows playable framerates at High settings up to 1440p (89.5 FPS) and 4K (55 FPS), which indicates the 12 GB memory pool is adequate for the game’s demands at these presets. No VRAM-related stutter or frame drops are evident in the averages.

Q: Why is Ultra so much slower than High at every resolution?

A: The gap is consistent: at 1080p, Ultra (85.9 FPS) is 34% below High (129.9 FPS); at 1440p, the gap is 38% (55.6 vs 89.5 FPS); at 4K, it is 42% (32.1 vs 55 FPS). This suggests Ultra enables effects that disproportionately tax the GPU’s shading units (2,560) and ROPs (64), without a proportional visual benefit.

Q: What percentile does the GPU rank in relative to all GPUs?

A: The RX 6700 XT sits in the 77th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 33,721. Its nearest rivals include the RX 6800 (0.7% higher), the RX 480 (-1%), and the RTX A5000 (1.3% higher), placing it solidly in the upper-midrange tier.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The RX 6700 XT is built on the Navi 22 chip with RDNA 2.0 architecture, using a 7 nm process from TSMC. Its 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs are clocked with a base of 2321 MHz, a game clock of 2424 MHz, and a boost of 2581 MHz. The 12 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective) across a 192-bit bus, yielding 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These specs place the card in the 77th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 33,721 — nearly identical to its nearest rival, the RX 6800 (33,493, 0.7% higher), and notably ahead of the RX 480 (34,059, -1%).

In Greedfall, the GPU’s role becomes evident in the preset scaling. At 1080p, the card delivers a wide range: 181.5 FPS at Low, 141.8 FPS at Medium, 129.9 FPS at High, and 85.9 FPS at Ultra. The 55.6% drop from Low to Ultra is steep, and it widens at higher resolutions — at 4K, the spread is from 72.6 FPS (Low) to 32.1 FPS (Ultra), a 126% difference. This pattern suggests the GPU’s memory bandwidth and pixel throughput are the limiting factors, not its raw compute. The 384.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p High, but 4K Ultra pushes the card past its comfort zone, resulting in sub-60 FPS averages. The 12 GB VRAM is never exhausted based on the data, but the card’s 165.2 GPixel/s pixel rate and 413.0 GTexel/s texture rate are clearly taxed by the highest preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings average 181.5 FPS, Medium 141.8 FPS, High 129.9 FPS, and Ultra 85.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 95.6 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the primary variable — the CPU’s headroom is sufficient to feed all presets, as the 1080p Low figure is nearly double the Ultra figure.

At 2560x1440, the averages drop predictably. Low hits 126.9 FPS, Medium 101 FPS, High 89.5 FPS, and Ultra 55.6 FPS. The High preset remains the sweet spot, staying above 60 FPS, while Ultra dips below the playable threshold. The drop from 1080p High to 1440p High is 40.4 FPS (31%), which is consistent with a GPU-bound workload.

At 3840x2160, the card struggles at the top end. Low averages 72.6 FPS, Medium 56.6 FPS, High 55 FPS, and Ultra 32.1 FPS. The High and Medium results are nearly identical (a 1.6 FPS difference), suggesting that the resolution, not the preset, is the main constraint at 4K — the GPU is filling four times the pixels of 1080p, and only Low can maintain a smooth 60+ FPS average.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The Ryzen 5 7600 + RX 6700 XT combination ranks 954th out of 1,705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the 56th percentile of all systems. This is a middling result — the combo is capable of high framerates at 1080p and solid performance at 1440p, but it does not stand out among the database’s entries. The rank reflects the GPU’s 77th percentile standing and the CPU’s 83rd percentile, but the game’s demands mean the pair lands in the middle of the pack.

The rank is unsurprising given the measured FPS. At 1080p High, the combo’s 129.9 FPS is respectable, but many other tested systems achieve higher averages. At 4K Ultra, the 32.1 FPS result is below the 60 FPS target that many combos in the top half likely reach. The combo’s strength is its consistency across resolutions — it never falls below 32 FPS and never exceeds 182 FPS, which is a narrow band compared to the extremes seen in the full database. The rank of 954 suggests that while this pairing is balanced, it is not optimized for Greedfall’s specific workload; the CPU is slightly overqualified relative to the GPU, and the GPU’s 12 GB memory and 192-bit bus limit its 4K potential. For a 1440p-focused system, the data indicates this combo is a capable choice, but for 4K enthusiasts, the 55 FPS High average leaves little headroom for demanding scenes.
