Greedfall

The data places this AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination at rank 795 out of 1705 tested combos for Greedfall. This is a mid-pack finish, meaning the pairing lands slightly below the median performance tier for this specific title. The position is not an outlier; it reflects a balanced pairing where neither component dominates the other to a degree that would push the combo significantly higher or lower in the rankings. The percentile placement for the CPU alone is 84, and for the GPU it is 72, but the combined rank of 795 out of 1705 shows that in actual gameplay, the integrated result is more modest than the individual component percentiles might suggest.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 795 out of 1705 places it in the 46th percentile of all tested configurations. This is a lower standing than the CPU’s individual percentile of 84 and the GPU’s percentile of 72, indicating that Greedfall’s engine does not scale perfectly with the strengths of these components. Benchmarks for the CPU show an average score of 27220, placing it within 0.7% of the Intel Core i9-9900K and 0.8% of the Intel Core i7-12700H. On the GPU side, the average benchmark score is 28238, with the closest rival being the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT at a 0.9% delta. The data suggests that while both parts are competent, the game’s performance ceiling for this combo is capped by factors other than raw compute, as the measured FPS does not reach the heights that the individual component benchmarks would imply. The rank is a clear signal that for this title, the combination is adequate but not exceptional.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 provides 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This is a Zen 3 architecture part on the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process. In synthetic tests, the CPU shows strong multi-threaded performance, scoring 20655 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 8675 in Cinebench R20 multi-core. The single-thread scores are 2916 in Cinebench R23 and 1224 in R20, which are solid but not leading-edge figures. For Greedfall, an Action RPG, the game relies on a mix of physics, AI, and world simulation, which benefits from the 8-core configuration. The data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the combo reaches 201.4 FPS, indicating that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions where the graphics load is lighter. However, the CPU’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 51.2 GB/s bandwidth may become a limiting factor in scenarios with many NPCs or complex scripting, though the benchmark results do not directly isolate this. The CPU’s performance is sufficient to keep the GPU active, as evidenced by the FPS scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is an Ampere architecture GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. It has 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs, with a boost clock of 1725 MHz. The GPU’s raw compute is listed at 20.31 TFLOPS for FP32. In Greedfall, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. At 4K, the performance drops significantly, especially at Ultra settings where the average FPS is 36.3. The 8 GB VRAM is a key factor here; at 4K with Ultra settings, the memory capacity and bandwidth are likely stressed, leading to the steep performance decline. The GPU’s benchmark percentile of 72 and an average score of 28238 place it near the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, which scores 27985. The data indicates that the RTX 3070 is a capable 1440p performer, but at 4K, the limits of its memory subsystem and die size (392 mm²) become evident. The pixel rate of 165.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 317.4 GTexel/s are high enough to handle 1440p with ease, but the 4K Ultra results show that this is the GPU’s boundary for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 201.4 FPS on Low, 162.5 FPS on Medium, 145.1 FPS on High, and 95 FPS on Ultra. These numbers show a steady decline as settings increase, with a 52.8% drop from Low to Ultra. At 2560x1440, the results are 139.8 FPS on Low, 112.7 FPS on Medium, 101.9 FPS on High, and 62.6 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra here is 55.2%, a slightly larger percentage than at 1080p. At 3840x2160, the performance falls to 83.7 FPS on Low, 64.9 FPS on Medium, 60.7 FPS on High, and 36.3 FPS on Ultra. The percentage drop from Low to Ultra at 4K is 56.6%, continuing the trend of larger relative gaps at higher resolutions. The absolute numbers show that the combo is capable of 60 FPS or higher at 4K only on Medium and High settings, while Ultra dips below 40 FPS. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, while at 1080p, the CPU is more involved, though both components are working in tandem.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 201.4 at 1080p to 139.8 at 1440p, a 30.6% decrease, and then to 83.7 at 4K, a 58.4% decrease from 1080p. This is a significant drop, but the absolute values remain playable. At High settings, the FPS goes from 145.1 at 1080p to 101.9 at 1440p (a 29.8% drop) and then to 60.7 at 4K (a 58.2% drop from 1080p). The consistency of these percentage drops across settings suggests that the GPU is the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. The CPU’s performance is relatively fixed, so the scaling is driven by the GPU’s ability to fill pixels. The 4K to 1080p ratio for High settings is 0.418, meaning the combo retains only 41.8% of its 1080p performance at 4K. This is a typical pattern for a mid-range GPU like the RTX 3070, which is not designed for 4K Ultra but can handle 4K at lower presets. The data shows that the combo is well-balanced for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the GPU’s memory bandwidth and capacity are the clear bottlenecks.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a basis for recommending settings based on the target frame rate. At 1080p, the combo can achieve 145.1 FPS on High, which is an excellent experience for a fast-paced Action RPG. The jump to Ultra at 95 FPS is still smooth, but the 50 FPS difference between High and Ultra is substantial, making High the better choice for preserving frame rate headroom. At 1440p, High delivers 101.9 FPS, which is ideal for a 100 Hz display, while Ultra drops to 62.6 FPS, which is playable but less consistent. For 4K, the data shows that High settings yield 60.7 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS target, but Medium at 64.9 FPS offers a slight margin of safety. Ultra at 4K is not recommended, as the 36.3 FPS average is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. The best experience per the measured rows is to use High settings at both 1080p and 1440p, and Medium settings at 4K. This approach maximizes frame rate while maintaining visual fidelity, as the performance gap between High and Ultra is larger than the visual improvement typically justifies. The data indicates that the combo is best utilized as a high-refresh-rate 1080p or 1440p machine, with 4K reserved for medium presets.
