How This Combo Ranks

The data places this specific pairing at rank 554 out of 1,705 tested combinations, which translates to roughly the 67th percentile. This is a strong showing, indicating that the Ryzen 7 5700 and RX 9070 work well together for Greedfall, landing firmly in the upper tier of systems. The CPU's average benchmark score of 27,220 places it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU's average score of 34,780 puts it in the 79th percentile. The close alignment of these percentile rankings suggests a well-balanced system where neither component is drastically outclassing the other.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the performance differences are marginal. The Ryzen 7 5700 is essentially tied with the Intel Core i9-9900K, being just 0.7% faster on average. It holds a similar 0.8% advantage over both the Intel Core i7-12700H and the Intel Core i7-1370P. These sub-1% deltas mean that in a real-world gaming scenario, the choice between these processors would have a negligible impact on frame rates. The GPU's rivals, including the NVIDIA A2, are similarly close, with performance deltas ranging from -0.2% to 0.8%. This indicates that the RX 9070 is a well-positioned card, but the field at its performance level is competitive.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the combo delivers 233.4 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 162.3 FPS at 1440p (a 30% decrease), and further to 95.4 FPS at 4K (a 59% decrease from 1080p). This trend is consistent across all settings, indicating that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases.

At High settings, the frame rate drops from 167.6 FPS at 1080p to 118.3 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 72.1 FPS at 4K. The scaling between 1080p and 1440p is a 29% performance hit, while the jump to 4K costs another 39% of the 1440p performance. This pattern suggests that while the Ryzen 7 5700 is capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions, the RX 9070's rendering workload at 4K, particularly on the Ultra preset, is the limiting factor.

The most demanding setting, Ultra, shows the steepest curve. At 1080p, it manages 106.5 FPS, but this falls to 74.1 FPS at 1440p and a demanding 46.3 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured scenario that dips below 60 FPS, highlighting that this combination is best suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p or lower, and that 4K gaming requires a reduction in graphical settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates its peak performance. With Low settings, it achieves an exceptional 233.4 FPS, ensuring maximum refresh rates are easily attainable. Moving up the quality ladder, Medium settings yield 186.6 FPS, and High settings produce 167.6 FPS. Even the most visually intensive Ultra preset delivers a very playable 106.5 FPS, showing that the CPU and GPU have ample headroom at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains excellent. The Low preset delivers 162.3 FPS, which is still high enough for competitive play. Medium settings maintain a smooth 127.7 FPS, while High settings provide 118.3 FPS. The Ultra preset, while demanding, still produces a respectable 74.1 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for a good experience on a standard monitor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's workload becomes the defining factor. Low settings provide a playable 95.4 FPS, and Medium settings sustain a solid 76.5 FPS. High settings drop to 72.1 FPS, which is still a good experience. However, the Ultra preset is the only configuration that struggles, producing an average of 46.3 FPS. This is the only measured point that falls below the standard 60 FPS target, indicating that 4K Ultra is beyond the comfortable capabilities of this combo.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070, with its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, provides a substantial 644.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This is a key factor in its ability to handle the texture data and geometry at 1440p and 4K. The GPU's boost clock of 2520 MHz, with a game clock of 2070 MHz, drives its 3584 shading units to deliver the measured performance. The 128 ROPs are responsible for the final pixel output, and the data shows that at 4K Ultra, this becomes a bottleneck, as frame rates drop to 46.3 FPS.

The GPU's benchmark performance shows a 79th percentile ranking, with an average score of 34,780. This places it in a tight cluster with its nearest rivals, all of which are within a 1% performance delta. The RX 9070's 16 GB VRAM is a significant asset for Greedfall, a game that can be memory-intensive at high resolutions and detail levels. The measured frame rates at 4K High (72.1 FPS) versus 4K Low (95.4 FPS) indicate that the GPU's compute and memory resources are being stressed more by the higher graphical fidelity settings, rather than a simple lack of memory capacity.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data clearly indicates that the Ultra preset is too demanding for this combo at 4K, yielding an average of 46.3 FPS. For a consistent 4K experience, the High preset is the optimal choice, providing a smooth 72.1 FPS average. This represents a 56% performance improvement over Ultra while still offering high-level visual quality. If prioritizing frame rate over fidelity at 4K, the Medium preset at 76.5 FPS offers a marginal gain over High.

For 1440p gaming, the Ultra preset is a viable and excellent choice, with an average of 74.1 FPS. This allows for the highest visual fidelity while maintaining a frame rate suitable for most displays. The High preset at 118.3 FPS is the recommended choice for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors, offering a significant performance boost over Ultra. At 1080p, all settings are playable, with even the Ultra preset hitting 106.5 FPS. For competitive play or maximum refresh rates, the Low preset at 233.4 FPS is the clear winner, while the High preset at 167.6 FPS strikes the best balance for most users.
