Greedfall

Greedfall, an Action RPG released in 2019, presents an interesting test for the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination. The data shows a system capable of delivering high frame rates across most settings, but with significant performance scaling that reveals where the bottleneck shifts as resolution and graphical load increase.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable decline as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At 1080p with High settings, the combo delivers an average of 200.3 FPS. Moving to 1440p (2560x1440) drops this to 135.4 FPS, a reduction of roughly 32%. At 4K (3840x2160), the average falls further to 81.4 FPS, which is about 59% lower than the 1080p figure. This pattern indicates that the system is highly capable at lower resolutions, but the demand on the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises.

The scaling from Low to Ultra settings at each resolution reinforces this. At 1080p, the difference between Low (277.5 FPS) and Ultra (125.3 FPS) is substantial, showing a 152.2 FPS spread. This wide gap suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is not the primary constraint; the GPU has enough headroom to process the lower graphical loads quickly. However, at 4K, the spread narrows significantly, with Low at 111.5 FPS and Ultra at 49.9 FPS. The smaller absolute difference at 4K, despite the higher relative workload, indicates that the system is becoming more GPU-bound. The data confirms that the RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary driver of performance at 4K, while the Ryzen 5 7600X provides ample support at 1080p and 1440p.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU has a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz. These specifications are directly reflected in the measured performance. The high boost clock and substantial memory bandwidth allow for strong performance at 1440p, where the card achieves over 135 FPS on High settings. At 4K, the 12 GB frame buffer and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to maintain playable frame rates, but the Ultra preset, which likely demands more memory and compute, pushes the average down to 49.9 FPS.

The GPU’s raw compute capabilities, with 7168 shading units and a FP32 throughput of 35.48 TFLOPS, are evident in the scaling between Medium and High settings. At 1440p, the jump from Medium (153.5 FPS) to High (135.4 FPS) is 18.1 FPS, while at 4K, the same settings change results in a drop from 92.4 FPS to 81.4 FPS. This shows that the GPU is handling the increased workload efficiently, but the Ultra preset introduces a significant performance penalty. The data suggests that for Greedfall, the RTX 4070 SUPER is best suited for High settings at 1440p or Medium settings at 4K to maintain a high refresh rate experience.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 318th out of 1705 tested combos for Greedfall. This places it in the top 18.6% of all configurations tested, indicating a strong overall performance level. The rank reflects the synergy between the CPU and GPU, where the Ryzen 5 7600X’s high single-thread performance, as evidenced by a 3dmark_single_thread score of 1060, pairs well with the GPU’s capabilities.

Compared to other CPUs, the Ryzen 5 7600X sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26272. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, which scores 26214 (a 0.2% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, which scores 26262 (a 0% delta). This shows that the 7600X is a competitive mid-range processor, but it is not the absolute fastest. For the GPU, the RTX 4070 SUPER is in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 42576. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA RTX A6000, which scores 42653, a -0.2% delta, indicating near-parity in synthetic benchmarks. The combination’s rank of 318 suggests that while both components are individually strong, the pairing does not reach the absolute top tier of performance in Greedfall, likely due to the game’s engine and how it utilizes the hardware.

FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 1080p with High settings?

A: The measured average FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings is 200.3 FPS.

Q: How does the performance at 4K Ultra compare to 1080p Ultra?

A: At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 49.9, which is significantly lower than the 125.3 FPS achieved at 1080p Ultra. This represents a 75.4 FPS drop, highlighting the GPU’s struggle with the higher resolution and maximum settings.

Q: Is this combo more CPU-bound or GPU-bound at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the scaling from Low (189.4 FPS) to High (135.4 FPS) suggests the system is still heavily reliant on the GPU, as the CPU has enough headroom to maintain high frame rates. The performance drop is proportional to the increased graphical load.

Q: What is the best resolution for high refresh rate gaming with this setup?

A: For a high refresh rate monitor, 1080p is the best choice, as even Ultra settings exceed 120 FPS. At 1440p, High settings deliver 135.4 FPS, which is also suitable for high refresh rate displays, but Ultra settings drop to 88.6 FPS.

The data shows that at 1080p, the system is capable of exceeding 200 FPS on most settings, making it ideal for competitive or high-refresh-rate gameplay. At 1440p, High settings provide a balanced experience at 135.4 FPS, while Medium settings offer a slight boost to 153.5 FPS. For 4K gaming, users should expect to dial back to Medium or High settings to maintain smooth gameplay, as the Ultra preset drops below 60 FPS. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB of VRAM is sufficient for all tested configurations, but the Ultra preset at 4K appears to be the most demanding, resulting in the lowest measured average of 49.9 FPS.
