Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER pairing delivers a solid, if not spectacular, showing in Greedfall, a 2019 Action RPG. The data indicates that this combo is best suited for high-refresh 1080p or smooth 1440p gameplay, with 4K requiring significant setting compromises. The combination of an 8-core Zen 3 CPU and a Turing-generation GPU yields a balanced experience where neither component becomes an overwhelming bottleneck at most tested settings.

FAQ

Q: What is the overall ranking of this CPU and GPU combo in Greedfall?

A: The combo ranks 1045 out of 1705 tested combinations in this game, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the performance spectrum for this specific title.

Q: How does the RTX 2070 SUPER compare to its closest rival, the RTX A400?

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 22206, which is 0.5% lower than the RTX A400's score of 22307. This makes the two cards effectively equivalent in raw compute performance.

Q: What is the best frame rate achievable at 1080p with this setup?

A: The highest average frame rate recorded is 167.9 FPS at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This drops to 76.5 FPS when switching to the Ultra preset at the same resolution.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K gaming in Greedfall?

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset yields an average of 34.6 FPS. Dropping to High settings increases the average to 51.9 FPS, while Low settings achieve 69.8 FPS, making 4K playable only at lower presets.

Q: How does the CPU's multi-threaded performance compare to its nearest rival?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700's average benchmark score is 27220, which is 0.7% higher than the Intel Core i9-9900K's score of 27043. This indicates nearly identical multi-threaded performance between the two processors.

Q: What is the most significant performance gap between settings at 1440p?

A: The largest delta is between Low and Ultra presets at 2560x1440. The Low preset averages 113.5 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 52.5 FPS, a difference of 61 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary driver of visual fidelity in this pairing. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, it provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for Greedfall's textures and geometry at most resolutions. The GPU's 2560 shading units operate at a base clock of 1605 MHz and boost up to 1770 MHz, allowing for a peak FP32 throughput of 9.062 TFLOPS.

The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. At 1920x1080, the average frame rate scales dramatically with settings, from 167.9 FPS at Low to 76.5 FPS at Ultra, indicating the GPU is handling the load efficiently. However, at 3840x2160, the Ultra preset collapses to 34.6 FPS, demonstrating that the 8 GB VRAM capacity and raw compute power are stretched thin at 4K. The 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present for ray tracing and DLSS, but Greedfall does not appear to leverage these features in the measured results, as all settings show standard rasterization performance patterns.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific configuration of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER sits at rank 1045 out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall. This position places it in the 61st percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 39% of the tested combinations deliver higher frame rates in this title. The ranking reflects a mid-tier standing, suggesting that while the combo is capable, it is not optimized for extreme high-end performance in this particular game.

The CPU's contribution to this rank is notable. The Ryzen 7 5700 achieves an avgBenchmarkScore of 27220, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs. This is a strong result, with the processor performing 0.7% better than the Intel Core i9-9900K and 1.2% better than the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340. The GPU, however, sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs with an avgBenchmarkScore of 22206, trailing the RTX A400 by 0.5% but leading the AMD Radeon RX 5700 by 2.5%. The combination of a high-percentile CPU with a mid-tier GPU likely contributes to the combo's overall rank, as the CPU has headroom that is not fully utilized at higher resolutions where the GPU becomes the bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates strong performance across all presets. The Low preset achieves an average of 167.9 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh monitors. Medium settings yield 130.3 FPS, while High settings drop slightly to 118.7 FPS. The Ultra preset is still playable at 76.5 FPS, but the step down from High is significant, representing a 42.2 FPS reduction.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains solid but shows the GPU beginning to struggle with higher detail levels. Low settings produce an average of 113.5 FPS, which is still excellent for competitive play. Medium settings reduce this to 93.9 FPS, and High settings further lower it to 82.4 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution averages 52.5 FPS, which is the largest relative drop from Low, a 61 FPS decrease.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become evident. Low settings average 69.8 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a smooth experience. Medium settings drop to 53.6 FPS, and High settings barely maintain 51.9 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 34.6 FPS, making it effectively unplayable for most users. Notably, the difference between Medium and High at 4K is minimal (1.7 FPS), suggesting that the GPU is hitting a memory or compute ceiling rather than a bandwidth constraint.

Settings Recommendations

For 1920x1080, the High preset at 118.7 FPS offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, providing a smooth experience on 60Hz and 120Hz displays. The Ultra preset at 76.5 FPS is viable for those prioritizing image quality over frame rate, but the drop from High is substantial, and the visual gains may not justify the 42.2 FPS loss.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset at 93.9 FPS is the recommended choice for a responsive experience. High settings at 82.4 FPS are also acceptable, but they push the system closer to the 60 FPS threshold, which could result in noticeable dips in demanding scenes. The Ultra preset at 52.5 FPS is not recommended unless the player is willing to tolerate sub-60 FPS gameplay.

For 3840x2160, the Low preset at 69.8 FPS is the only setting that provides a consistently playable experience. Medium and High presets hover around 52-54 FPS, which may be acceptable for slower-paced exploration but will feel sluggish during combat. The Ultra preset at 34.6 FPS should be avoided entirely. The data suggests that users with 4K displays should either reduce resolution to 1440p or stick with Low settings at 4K to maintain a reasonable frame rate.
