A: The RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54,209 in average benchmark score, which is essentially identical to the RTX 4080 (54,247, deltaPct -0.1%). It trails the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X by 1.1% and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB by 2.7%.

Q: What CPU benchmark scores does the Ryzen 5 7600 produce?

A: The Ryzen 5 7600 scores 12,735 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 1,852 in single-core, and 13,413 in Geekbench multi-core. Its average benchmark score is 26,324, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs.

Q: Is the FPS difference between Medium and High settings large?

A: The data shows a consistent step-down. At 3840x2160, Medium averages 103 FPS while High drops to 93 FPS, a 10 FPS difference. At 1920x1080, the gap widens to 23 FPS (248 vs 225).

Q: What is the most demanding preset for this combo?

A: Ultra settings are by far the most demanding. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 59 FPS, which is 34 FPS lower than High (93 FPS). At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 144 FPS, still 81 FPS below Low (316 FPS).

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 325 out of 3,703 tested configurations places it clearly in the upper echelon of Greedfall hardware. This is a strong showing that reflects the balanced nature of the pairing: the CPU’s 78th percentile ranking and the GPU’s 86th percentile ranking combine to produce a result that outperforms the sum of its parts. The data indicates that neither component acts as a significant bottleneck at most settings, allowing the frame rate to scale predictably with resolution changes.

The ranking is particularly impressive given the GPU’s benchmark position. The RTX 4080 SUPER’s average score of 54,209 is within 0.1% of the RTX 4080, yet the measured Greedfall performance shows the combo can deliver 4K High at 93 FPS. This suggests the game is well-optimized for this architecture. The CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (deltaPct 0.2%) and Intel Core i9-11900KF (deltaPct 0.4%), score nearly identically in synthetic benchmarks, but the Ryzen 5 7600’s Zen 4 architecture provides the necessary single-thread headroom for this title.

In the context of the full database, the 325th rank out of 3,703 combos means only 324 configurations perform better. This places the combo in the top 8.8% of all tested setups, a position that confirms its suitability for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p and solid 4K performance. The data does not show any other tested combo with this exact CPU-GPU pairing, so the rank reflects the combined performance of these specific components.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on the optimal settings for different display capabilities. For 3840x2160, the choice is between High (93 FPS) and Medium (103 FPS). High settings deliver a smoother visual experience that remains above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the recommended preset for 4K gaming. Ultra at 4K drops to 59 FPS, which is borderline for most players and is not recommended unless a 60Hz display is the target.

At 2560x1440, High settings (156 FPS) are the sweet spot for 144Hz monitors, while Medium (172 FPS) offers a small frame rate boost with slightly reduced visuals. For 240Hz displays, Low settings at 219 FPS would be necessary, but this sacrifices too much visual quality for most players. The 1920x1080 resolution shows that High (225 FPS) is optimal for 240Hz panels, with Ultra (144 FPS) still providing a very playable experience for 144Hz screens.

The data shows a consistent pattern: High settings provide the best balance of visual fidelity and performance across all three resolutions. The exception is for players with 60Hz 4K displays, where Medium (103 FPS) offers headroom for smoother frame pacing. The jump from Medium to High costs 10 FPS at 4K, 16 FPS at 1440p, and 23 FPS at 1080p, which is a reasonable trade-off for improved graphical quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured averages show a clear hierarchy: Low (131 FPS), Medium (103 FPS), High (93 FPS), and Ultra (59 FPS). The Medium preset provides the only complete data set with a minimum of 87 FPS and maximum of 118 FPS, indicating that frame pacing remains stable even when the average dips. The gap between High and Ultra is 34 FPS, the largest single-preset jump in the 4K data, highlighting the significant cost of Ultra settings.

At 2560x1440, the averages scale to 219 FPS (Low), 172 FPS (Medium), 156 FPS (High), and 100 FPS (Ultra). The Medium preset shows a minimum of 146 FPS and maximum of 198 FPS, demonstrating excellent consistency. The transition from High to Ultra costs 56 FPS, which is substantial, but the 100 FPS average at Ultra remains playable on high-refresh displays. The 1440p Low setting at 219 FPS is notable for being the only preset to exceed 200 FPS at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the results are exceptional: 316 FPS (Low), 248 FPS (Medium), 225 FPS (High), and 144 FPS (Ultra). The Medium preset shows a minimum of 211 FPS, meaning the frame rate never drops below 200 FPS even under load. The High setting’s 225 FPS average is more than sufficient for any current display, while Ultra at 144 FPS matches exactly to a 144Hz refresh rate. The scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a predictable drop-off: High goes from 225 FPS to 93 FPS (58.7% reduction), while Medium goes from 248 FPS to 103 FPS (58.5% reduction).

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary driver of Greedfall’s frame rates, as evidenced by the significant FPS variations across resolutions. The GPU’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for the game’s textures and assets at 4K. The boost clock of 2550 MHz, paired with 10,240 shading units, delivers the raw compute necessary for the measured 4K High average of 93 FPS.

The GPU’s benchmark performance places it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 54,209. Its nearest rival, the RTX 4080, scores 54,247 (deltaPct -0.1%), showing that the SUPER model offers near-identical raw performance. The data shows that the RTX 4080 SUPER outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54,828, deltaPct -1.1%) and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55,698, deltaPct -2.7%) in this specific benchmark, though these differences are small in practice.

The GPU’s 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 80 RT cores support the game’s visual effects at all settings. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (316 FPS) suggests the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions, where the CPU’s single-thread performance becomes more relevant. The transistor density of 121.1M per mm² on a 379 mm² die indicates a highly efficient design that maintains consistent performance across the tested presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 provides the processing foundation for this combo, with 6 cores and 12 threads running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Zen 4 architecture on TSMC’s 5 nm process delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,735 and single-core score of 1,852, with the latter being critical for Greedfall’s game logic and physics. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps maintain low latency during gameplay.

The CPU’s benchmark position at the 78th percentile (average score 26,324) shows it competes closely with CPUs like the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (26,274, deltaPct 0.2%) and Intel Core i9-11900KF (26,212, deltaPct 0.4%). However, the 7600’s advantage lies in its single-thread performance and memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s with DDR5 support, which provides the responsiveness needed for action RPG combat and exploration.

The data indicates that the CPU becomes more relevant at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo hits 316 FPS, which is close to the CPU’s practical limit for this game. At 4K Ultra (59 FPS), the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, but the CPU still maintains a locked frame rate without stuttering. The 12 threads handle background tasks and game streaming efficiently, as shown by the 3DMark max-threads score of 6,503, ensuring that frame times remain consistent across all tested settings.
