Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT combination ranks 912th out of 3,703 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the top 25% of all systems benchmarked for this title. That percentile positioning suggests a well-balanced pairing capable of delivering a high-refresh experience at most settings, though the data shows clear performance ceilings emerge at the most demanding configurations.

How This Combo Ranks

At rank 912 of 3,703, this pairing sits comfortably above the median tested system, with the data showing it outperforms roughly 75% of all recorded combinations. The ranking reflects not just raw component strength but how these two specific parts interact with Greedfall's engine; the scores indicate a system that avoids severe bottlenecking at most resolutions. The GPU's average benchmark score of 13,543 places it at the 55th percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU's average score of 26,324 puts it at the 78th percentile among all CPUs — a notable gap that suggests the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this pairing. That disparity becomes more pronounced at lower resolutions where CPU headroom is less critical, but at 4K the GPU's workload dominates and the CPU's advantage becomes less relevant. The combo's strong rank is largely driven by the CPU's high percentile standing, which helps maintain frame pacing even when the GPU is under heavy load.

GPU Role

The RX 9070 XT brings 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, with memory bandwidth rated at 644.6 GB/s, which is ample for Greedfall's textures and asset streaming. The GPU's boost clock reaches 2970 MHz with a game clock of 2400 MHz, and its base clock sits at 1660 MHz — the architecture is RDNA 4.0 on a 4 nm process from TSMC, with 53,900 million transistors packed into a 357 mm² die. For this 2019 Action RPG, the GPU's 4096 shading units and 128 ROPs deliver strong raw throughput, evidenced by a Passmark G3D score of 26,795. The card's 48.66 TFLOPS FP32 performance provides substantial compute headroom that Greedfall's DX11-era rendering does not fully exploit, but the high memory bandwidth helps maintain consistent frame delivery in busy scenes. The GPU's percentile rank of 55 among all GPUs is modest, but within this specific game the measured results show it performing well above that percentile would suggest, indicating Greedfall is not particularly demanding on the graphics architecture. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is never a limiting factor at any tested resolution, even at 4K Ultra where the average frame rate drops to 47 FPS — a performance drop driven by shader complexity rather than memory capacity. The GPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the AMD Radeon HD 7770M and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, with delta percentages of 0.1% and 0.2% respectively — these are legacy parts with far lower real-world gaming performance, underscoring that the RX 9070 XT's benchmark profile understates its gaming capability.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 7600 provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth give it ample headroom for feeding the GPU in Greedfall. The CPU's single-thread performance is particularly strong — a Geekbench single-core score of 2,521 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3,910 indicate excellent per-core efficiency, which matters for this game's engine that relies on a few primary threads. The 3DMark single-thread score of 999 and 2-thread score of 1,938 confirm that the CPU handles lightly-threaded workloads effectively, and the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12,735 shows it can deliver substantial multi-threaded throughput when needed. In Greedfall, the CPU's 5.10 GHz boost clock is the key asset; at 1080p Low settings, the system reaches 248 FPS average, a figure that would be impossible without strong per-core performance. The CPU's percentile of 78 among all CPUs places it ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX by 0.2% and behind the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS by 0.3%, with the Intel Core i9-11900KF trailing by 0.4% — these are all mobile or older desktop parts, illustrating that the 7600's desktop-oriented design with 65W TDP punches above its synthetic benchmarks in gaming scenarios. The CPU's 5 nm process from TSMC with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die contributes to its efficiency, but more importantly for gaming, the high boost clock ensures that the GPU never starves for draw calls.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates reveal a consistent pattern across all four settings presets. At 1080p, the system averages 248 FPS on Low, 195 FPS on Medium, 177 FPS on High, and 113 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 166 FPS and maximum of 224 FPS, indicating tight frame pacing, while the other presets lack min/max data. Moving to 1440p, the averages drop to 172 FPS on Low, 135 FPS on Medium, 123 FPS on High, and 78 FPS on Ultra — the Medium preset again shows a min/max range of 115 to 155 FPS. At 4K, the system delivers 103 FPS on Low, 81 FPS on Medium, 73 FPS on High, and just 47 FPS on Ultra, with the Medium preset showing a min of 69 FPS and max of 93 FPS. The 1080p to 1440p transition at Low settings shows a 30.6% drop from 248 to 172 FPS, while at High settings the drop is 30.5% from 177 to 123 FPS. The 1440p to 4K transition at Low settings shows a 40.1% drop from 172 to 103 FPS, and at High settings a 40.7% drop from 123 to 73 FPS. These percentage drops are remarkably consistent across settings, suggesting the scaling penalty is resolution-driven rather than setting-driven. The Ultra preset at 4K, at 47 FPS, is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, and even the Medium preset at 4K maintains an average of 81 FPS with a minimum of 69 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate degradation from 1080p to 4K follows a predictable curve that indicates GPU-bound behavior at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the system loses 58.5% of its 1080p performance when moving to 4K (248 to 103 FPS), while at High settings the loss is 58.8% (177 to 73 FPS). This near-identical percentage loss across settings strongly suggests the GPU is the limiting component at 4K, as the CPU's workload does not scale with resolution. The fact that the 1080p to 1440p drop is roughly 30% while the 1440p to 4K drop is roughly 40% reflects the pixel count increase: 1440p has 1.78x the pixels of 1080p, while 4K has 2.25x the pixels of 1440p. The system's ability to maintain 73 FPS at 4K High — a playable frame rate for an Action RPG — indicates the RX 9070 XT's 644.6 GB/s memory bandwidth and 380.2 GPixel/s pixel rate are sufficient for this title's rendering demands. At 1080p, the frame rates exceed 170 FPS even on High, suggesting the CPU's 5.10 GHz boost clock provides enough single-thread performance to avoid becoming a bottleneck. The 113 FPS average at 1080p Ultra versus 248 FPS at 1080p Low — a 119% improvement — shows that Greedfall's Ultra settings impose a heavy shader and texture load that the GPU must process, and this load scales less with resolution than with settings complexity. The data indicates that at 1080p, the system is somewhat CPU-limited, as the frame rates do not scale linearly with the GPU's raw compute potential, but at 4K the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K displays, the Medium preset at 81 FPS average with a 69 FPS minimum offers the best balance of visual fidelity and smooth gameplay, as the High preset drops to 73 FPS and the Ultra preset falls to an unplayable 47 FPS. The 4K Low preset at 103 FPS is viable for competitive play but sacrifices too much visual quality for an Action RPG. At 1440p, the High preset at 123 FPS is the recommended choice, as it provides a substantial visual upgrade over Medium's 135 FPS at a relatively small performance cost — the 8.9% frame rate difference (135 to 123 FPS) is imperceptible on most displays, while the visual uplift from Medium to High is noticeable. The 1440p Ultra preset at 78 FPS is also playable and offers the full visual experience, but the 36.6% drop from High (123 to 78 FPS) is substantial for marginal gains. For 1080p users, the High preset at 177 FPS is the sweet spot, as the Ultra preset at 113 FPS costs 36.2% performance for visual differences that are hard to discern at this resolution, and the Medium preset at 195 FPS offers diminishing returns over High. The Ultra preset at any resolution below 1440p is hard to justify given the steep frame rate penalties; the data shows Ultra costs roughly 36% performance versus High at 1080p, 36.6% at 1440p, and 35.6% at 4K. Across all resolutions, the Medium preset provides the most consistent frame pacing, with min/max spreads of 58 FPS at 1080p, 40 FPS at 1440p, and 24 FPS at 4K — tighter than any other preset, making it the best choice for users sensitive to frame-time spikes. The system's overall capability in Greedfall is best expressed at 1440p High, where the 123 FPS average provides a fluid experience with high visual quality, and the 4K Medium preset serves as a strong alternative for users prioritizing resolution over detail.
