Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a versatile 1080p and 1440p experience in Greedfall, but the data clearly indicates that 4K Ultra is beyond its comfortable reach. Benchmark results show a system where the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU provides ample headroom for high refresh rate gaming at 1080p. The measured frames per second (FPS) across the board show a predictable scaling pattern, with the most demanding settings at 4K producing a 33 FPS average, which is technically playable but far from smooth, while dropping to Low settings at 1080p yields a 191 FPS average, showcasing the hardware's capability when unburdened by graphical load.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 119 at 1920x1080 to 78 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 41 FPS, and then falls further to 44 at 3840x2160, marking another 34 FPS decrease. This pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases is classic evidence that the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the limiting component, as the rendering workload scales directly with pixel count, outpacing the CPU's ability to feed frames only when the GPU is saturated.

Looking at the Low settings, the gap between 1080p and 1440p is stark: 191 FPS at 1920x1080 versus 126 FPS at 2560x1440. This 65 FPS difference at low graphical load suggests that even with minimal GPU work, the resolution jump still significantly impacts throughput. However, the fact that the system can reach 191 FPS at 1080p Low indicates the Ryzen 5 7600 is not a bottleneck at this level, as the GPU is still able to push frames well beyond typical display refresh rates.

The trend continues to 4K, where the GPU's limitations become more pronounced. At Medium settings, the average FPS is 57 at 3840x2160, with a minimum of 48 and maximum of 65, showing a tight frame time variance that suggests consistent GPU utilization. When comparing the 1080p to 4K delta at Medium settings, the drop from 155 FPS to 57 FPS represents a 63% reduction in performance, a substantial penalty that signifies the RX 6750 XT is working at its limits with the 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth being taxed heavily.

The data indicates that the sweet spot for this combo is 1440p, where High settings still produce a 78 FPS average, which is smooth for most action RPG gameplay. Moving to 4K, even dropping to Low settings only yields a 70 FPS average, a modest gain over High's 44 FPS, showing that the GPU's raw compute power, with its 13.31 TFLOPS FP32 performance, is the deciding factor rather than memory bandwidth or cache. The scaling behavior at 4K Ultra, which bottoms out at 33 FPS, confirms that this resolution is only viable for less demanding presets, and even then, the experience will be suboptimal.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT plays a decisive role in shaping Greedfall's performance, particularly as resolution increases. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides a 432.0 GB/s bandwidth, which is adequate for the game's textures at 1440p but becomes stressed at 4K. The measured FPS at 4K Medium, which shows a 57 FPS average with a minimum of 48 FPS, suggests that the memory subsystem is sufficient for moderate settings but struggles with the higher memory pressure of Ultra.

Clock speeds are a critical factor in the GPU's performance. The boost clock of 2600 MHz, with a game clock of 2495 MHz, allows the RX 6750 XT to maintain high throughput in compute-heavy scenes. The pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s are directly reflected in the resolution scaling results, as the GPU's ability to fill pixels and apply textures diminishes at 4K, causing the FPS to drop from 119 at 1080p High to 44 at 4K High.

The GPU's compute capabilities, rated at 13.31 TFLOPS FP32, are the primary driver of the performance seen at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 191 FPS average indicates that the GPU is not the limiting factor, but as the resolution increases, the compute units become saturated. The 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs are the key architectural components that determine how efficiently the GPU processes the game's rendering pipeline, and the data shows a clear correlation between the resolution's pixel count and the resulting FPS.

The GPU's percentile ranking at 71% of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26011, places it in a competitive position, but its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Radeon R9 M395X and AMD FirePro W7100, show only marginal score differences of 0.5% and 0.6% respectively. In Greedfall, this translates to a GPU that can handle 1440p gaming well but falls short at 4K, where the Ultra preset's 33 FPS average confirms that the RX 6750 XT is not designed for extreme resolution gaming.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its best performance across all settings. The Low preset achieves a 191 FPS average, which is exceptionally high and indicates that the CPU and GPU are both operating efficiently. Medium settings produce a 155 FPS average with a minimum of 132 FPS and a maximum of 178 FPS, showing excellent frame pacing. High settings yield a 119 FPS average, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. Ultra settings drop to a 90 FPS average, which remains playable but represents a 53% reduction from Low, highlighting the significant cost of the highest graphical preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down predictably. Low settings maintain a 126 FPS average, which is still excellent for high refresh rate monitors. Medium settings produce a 102 FPS average with a minimum of 87 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS, showing consistent performance. High settings yield a 78 FPS average, which is ideal for 1440p gaming on standard 60 Hz displays. Ultra settings drop to a 59 FPS average, which is just below the 60 FPS mark, indicating that this preset is not recommended for a locked 60 FPS experience.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become apparent. Low settings produce a 70 FPS average, which is playable but not smooth. Medium settings yield a 57 FPS average with a minimum of 48 FPS and a maximum of 65 FPS, showing some frame time variance that could lead to stutter. High settings drop to a 44 FPS average, which is borderline for an action RPG. Ultra settings bottom out at a 33 FPS average, which is below the threshold for comfortable gameplay and demonstrates that 4K Ultra is not viable with this hardware.

The data at each resolution shows a clear pattern: the FPS drops are more pronounced at higher settings, with the delta between Low and Ultra being 101 FPS at 1080p, 67 FPS at 1440p, and 37 FPS at 4K. This narrowing delta at higher resolutions confirms that the GPU is becoming the bottleneck, as the absolute performance ceiling is lower, so the difference between presets is compressed.
