Q: How much VRAM does the GPU have, and is it sufficient?

A: The RTX 2060 SUPER has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth. This is adequate for 1080p and 1440p in Greedfall, but the data suggests it becomes a limiting factor at 4K Ultra.

GPU Role

The RTX 2060 SUPER operates with a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz, built on the TU106 chip with 2,176 shading units, 136 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Its 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which proves adequate for 1080p and 1440p but insufficient for maintaining high frame rates at 4K Ultra settings.

The GPU's 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 105.6 GPixel/s pixel rate directly influence Greedfall's rendering load. At 1920x1080, the GPU delivers 151.8 FPS on Low settings, but this drops to 72.2 FPS on Ultra — a 52.4% reduction. The same pattern at 2560x1440 shows 105.9 FPS on Low versus 48.4 FPS on Ultra, indicating the GPU's raw throughput becomes the limiting factor as settings increase.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become pronounced: Ultra settings yield only 32.1 FPS, while even Medium (46.7 FPS) and High (45.2 FPS) hover near the edge of playability. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is likely stressed at 4K with higher texture quality, given the 448.0 GB/s bandwidth cannot compensate for the increased memory pressure. The GPU's 63rd percentile ranking among all GPUs reflects its mid-range position in the current landscape.

How This Combo Ranks

This pairing ranks 1174th out of 1705 tested combinations in Greedfall, placing it in the 31st percentile of all tested combos. This rank reflects a meaningful bottleneck: the RTX 2060 SUPER's performance ceiling is below what the Ryzen 5 7600 can feed it at lower resolutions.

The CPU itself ranks in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26,617. Its nearest rivals — the Ryzen 7 5800X3D (26,574, 0.2% slower), Core i9-12900HK (26,672, 0.2% faster), EPYC 8024P (26,555, 0.2% slower), and Core i9-11900K (26,546, 0.3% slower) — all cluster within a narrow band. This indicates the CPU is not the primary constraint in most gaming scenarios.

The GPU's 63rd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average score of 19,774, sits well below the CPU's relative standing. The GTX TITAN (19,706, 0.3% slower) and RTX 2070 (19,680, 0.5% slower) are the closest competitors, confirming the GPU's mid-range positioning. The gap between CPU and GPU percentiles explains why this combo ranks lower than the CPU alone would suggest: the GPU holds the system back, especially at higher resolutions and settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results: 151.8 FPS on Low, 121.9 FPS on Medium, 108.6 FPS on High, and 72.2 FPS on Ultra. The step from High to Ultra costs 36.4 FPS (33.5% reduction), showing that Ultra settings impose a significant penalty.

At 2560x1440, performance drops predictably: 105.9 FPS on Low, 81.6 FPS on Medium, 76.1 FPS on High, and 48.4 FPS on Ultra. The High-to-Ultra gap narrows slightly to 27.7 FPS (36.4% reduction) in relative terms. All settings except Ultra remain comfortably playable.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically: 63.3 FPS on Low, 46.7 FPS on Medium, 45.2 FPS on High, and 32.1 FPS on Ultra. Only Low settings maintain a consistently smooth experience, while Medium and High hover around the 45-47 FPS range — playable but noticeably below 60 FPS targets. Ultra falls to 32.1 FPS, which most players would find unsatisfactory.

Across all resolutions, the difference between Medium and High is small (13.3 FPS at 1080p, 5.5 FPS at 1440p, 1.5 FPS at 4K), while the jump from High to Ultra is consistently large. This suggests High settings offer the best performance-per-visual-cost ratio.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 7600 provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 architecture (Raphael), with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. Its 32 MB shared L3 cache and 5 nm process node from TSMC contribute to strong gaming performance, evidenced by its 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs.

Synthetic benchmarks show the CPU's capabilities: Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22,992 and single-core of 3,246, with 3DMark scores ranging from 999 (single-thread) to 6,503 (max threads). The PassMark single-thread score of 3,910 and multithread score of 27,058 further confirm balanced performance. The CPU's nearest rival, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, scores nearly identically (26,574 vs. 26,617), indicating the 7600's 6 cores perform comparably to the 5800X3D's 8 cores in aggregate benchmarks.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role becomes visible at 1080p Low, where 151.8 FPS suggests the CPU can feed the GPU well beyond its limits. The fact that 1080p Ultra (72.2 FPS) and 1440p Ultra (48.4 FPS) show large drops indicates the GPU, not the CPU, is the binding constraint. The CPU's 65 W TDP and DDR5 memory support (83.2 GB/s bandwidth) provide a solid foundation, but the GPU's 175 W TDP and mid-range compute capacity define the system's gaming ceiling.

Settings Recommendations

For 1920x1080, High settings (108.6 FPS) provide the best experience — comfortably above 60 FPS with strong visual quality. Ultra (72.2 FPS) is viable but sacrifices 33.5% performance for marginal visual gains. Low (151.8 FPS) and Medium (121.9 FPS) are unnecessary unless targeting very high refresh rates.

At 2560x1440, High settings (76.1 FPS) are the recommended choice, delivering smooth gameplay while maintaining visual fidelity. Medium (81.6 FPS) offers a small performance buffer but with reduced quality. Ultra (48.4 FPS) is not recommended, as it falls below the 60 FPS threshold. Low (105.9 FPS) is excessive for most users.

At 3840x2160, Low settings (63.3 FPS) are the only preset that consistently exceeds 60 FPS. Medium (46.7 FPS) and High (45.2 FPS) are playable but require tolerance for sub-60 performance. Ultra (32.1 FPS) should be avoided. For 4K users, the data suggests either accepting Low settings or reducing resolution to 1440p.

Overall, High settings at 1440p (76.1 FPS) represent the best combination of visual quality and performance this combo can achieve. The GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this configuration without hitting memory walls.

Resolution Scaling

Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings reduces average FPS from 108.6 to 76.1 — a 30.0% drop. Scaling further to 3840x2160 brings the average down to 45.2 FPS, a 58.4% reduction from 1080p and a 40.7% reduction from 1440p. These scaling factors indicate a GPU-bound scenario.

At Low settings, the scaling is similar: 151.8 FPS at 1080p drops to 105.9 FPS at 1440p (30.2% decrease) and 63.3 FPS at 4K (58.3% decrease from 1080p). The consistency across settings suggests the GPU is the limiting factor at all resolution points, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom even at 1080p Low.

The Ultra preset shows the steepest scaling: 72.2 FPS at 1080p, 48.4 FPS at 1440p (33.0% drop), and 32.1 FPS at 4K (55.5% drop from 1080p). This pattern confirms that the RTX 2060 SUPER's compute and memory resources are progressively overwhelmed as pixel count increases. The gap between 1440p and 4K at Ultra (16.3 FPS difference) is smaller than the 1080p-to-1440p gap (23.8 FPS), indicating diminishing returns as the GPU approaches its absolute limits.

The data clearly shows the GPU is the primary bottleneck across all tested configurations. The Ryzen 5 7600's strong single-thread performance (3,246 in Cinebench R23) and high boost clock (5.10 GHz) prevent CPU limitation even at 1080p Low, where the system achieves 151.8 FPS. Users seeking higher 4K performance would need a more powerful GPU, as the current configuration maxes out at 63.3 FPS on Low settings at that resolution.
