Greedfall

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti lands at rank 248 out of 1,705 tested combos for Greedfall. That places this configuration in the top 14.5% of all tested systems, a strong showing for a game released in 2019. The ranking indicates that this combo delivers well above-average performance for the title, though it does not crack the top tier of combinations tested.

The CPU itself sits at the 83rd percentile when compared against all processors in the benchmark database. Its average benchmark score of 26,617 places it nearly even with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which scores 26,574 — a delta of just 0.2%. The Intel Core i9-12900HK trails by a similar margin at -0.2%, while the AMD EPYC 8024P and Intel Core i9-11900K round out the nearest rivals with deltas of 0.2% and 0.3% respectively. This suggests the Ryzen 5 7600 is remarkably competitive with higher-tier CPUs in general compute workloads.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 Ti holds the 85th percentile among all graphics cards. Its average benchmark score of 44,900 is within 0.6% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (45,152), and it actually outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro 580 by 1.6%. The Intel Arc A730M and AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT show deltas of -1.5% and -1.6% respectively, meaning the 4070 Ti beats both. The combination of a top-quartile CPU and top-quartile GPU explains the strong overall ranking for this specific game.

# GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit bus, yielding 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. For Greedfall, a 2019 action RPG, this memory configuration is more than adequate at all tested resolutions. The GPU's base clock runs at 2310 MHz with a boost clock of 2610 MHz, while memory operates at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These clock speeds, combined with 7,680 shading units and 80 ROPs, drive the frame rates measured in this title.

The data reveals a clear pattern: the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. At 1080p, the Low preset produces 292 FPS, suggesting the GPU is barely taxed. By 4K Ultra, the average drops to 52.6 FPS, a figure that indicates the GPU is working near its limits. The 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 626.4 GTexel/s texture rate provide substantial headroom, yet Greedfall's Ultra settings at 4K still push the card to its boundaries.

Interestingly, the RTX 4070 Ti's 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores are not heavily utilized in this title, given its pre-RTX release date. The game's engine relies more on traditional rasterization, which the card handles exceptionally well. The 12 GB VRAM never appears to be a bottleneck in the measured results, as even the most demanding preset at 4K maintains playable performance.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the High preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, High delivers 206.9 FPS, which is only 13% lower than Medium's 227.3 FPS but a substantial improvement over Ultra's 134.3 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra widens dramatically at higher resolutions, making Ultra a questionable choice unless visual fidelity takes absolute priority.

At 1440p, High produces 143.3 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. Medium reaches 159.5 FPS, while Low hits 200.5 FPS. Ultra drops to 91 FPS, which remains playable but introduces a significant performance penalty. For 4K gaming, High delivers 85.7 FPS, Medium 95.3 FPS, and Low 120.6 FPS. Ultra at 4K falls to 52.6 FPS, dipping below the ideal 60 FPS target.

The data suggests High is the sweet spot for this combo. It maintains high frame rates at every resolution while presumably offering better visual quality than Medium or Low. Ultra provides diminishing returns — at 1080p it costs 35% of High's frame rate, at 1440p it costs 36%, and at 4K it costs 39%. These consistent penalties indicate that Ultra's additional effects are disproportionately expensive on this hardware.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080: The Low preset achieves 292 FPS, Medium reaches 227.3 FPS, High produces 206.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 134.3 FPS. The progression from Low to Medium costs 22% performance, Medium to High costs 9%, and High to Ultra costs 35%. This nonlinear scaling suggests the Ultra preset introduces particularly heavy effects.

2560x1440: Low delivers 200.5 FPS, Medium 159.5 FPS, High 143.3 FPS, and Ultra 91 FPS. Compared to 1080p, the resolution increase reduces performance by 31% on Low, 30% on Medium, 31% on High, and 32% on Ultra. The consistency of these drops indicates resolution scaling is uniform across settings.

3840x2160: Low produces 120.6 FPS, Medium 95.3 FPS, High 85.7 FPS, and Ultra 52.6 FPS. From 1440p to 4K, performance drops by 40% on Low, 40% on Medium, 40% on High, and 42% on Ultra. This steeper decline at 4K highlights the increased pixel throughput demands.

The full range spans from 292 FPS at 1080p Low to 52.6 FPS at 4K Ultra, a 5.6x difference. This wide spread indicates the combo has exceptional flexibility, capable of extreme frame rates for competitive play or playable 4K visuals.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael). It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz, drawing 65W TDP. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support (83.2 GB/s bandwidth) provide ample bandwidth for gaming workloads.

In Greedfall, the CPU's single-thread performance appears sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at lower resolutions. The 1080p Low preset produces 292 FPS, indicating the CPU can feed frames faster than most displays can show. The single-core Cinebench R23 score of 3,246 and 3DMark single-thread score of 999 suggest strong per-core performance, which matters for a game engine that likely relies on a few primary threads.

The 3DMark multi-threaded results show scaling from 1,938 (2 threads) to 6,503 (max threads), indicating the CPU utilizes additional cores effectively. However, the PassMark single-thread score of 3,910 versus multithread score of 27,058 reveals that single-threaded performance is the stronger attribute relative to its multi-threaded scaling. For Greedfall, this is likely beneficial, as the game's age suggests it may not fully utilize 12 threads.

The CPU's position at the 83rd percentile, with an average benchmark score of 26,617, places it in the upper tier of processors. Its nearest rivals include CPUs with different core counts and architectures, yet the performance delta remains within 0.3%, demonstrating that the Ryzen 5 7600 punches above its 6-core configuration.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how this combo scales across resolutions. At Low settings, 1080p yields 292 FPS, 1440p produces 200.5 FPS, and 4K drops to 120.6 FPS. This represents a 31% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 40% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is nearly identical at Medium (227.3 → 159.5 → 95.3 FPS) and High (206.9 → 143.3 → 85.7 FPS), with the same 31% and 40% drops.

Ultra settings show slightly different behavior: 134.3 FPS at 1080p, 91 FPS at 1440p (32% drop), and 52.6 FPS at 4K (42% drop). This suggests that Ultra's additional effects place marginally more stress on the GPU as resolution increases, likely due to higher fill-rate requirements.

The consistent scaling across all presets indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect smaller performance gaps when moving from 1440p to 4K, as the GPU becomes more loaded. Instead, the proportional drops suggest the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth (504.2 GB/s) are the constraining resources.

At 1080p, the CPU's role becomes more apparent. The 292 FPS at Low settings approaches the practical limit for many display technologies, and the difference between Low and Ultra (134.3 FPS) is 54%, which is less than the 63% difference at 4K (120.6 vs 52.6 FPS). This narrowing gap at 1080p hints that the CPU begins to influence performance at very high frame rates, though the Ryzen 5 7600's strong single-thread capabilities keep it from becoming a significant bottleneck.
