Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results indicate that the best experience balancing visual quality and performance at 2560x1440 is the High preset, which averages 95 FPS. For those with a standard 60 Hz monitor, this is the sweet spot, as it offers a largeur improvement over the Ultra preset's 61 FPS, while still maintaining high visual fidelity.

If you are targeting 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 137 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset at 151 FPS is even higher, but the jump to High provides a more significant visual upgrade for a minor FPS cost. The Ultra preset, at 87 FPS, is still above the 60 FPS threshold, but the performance loss vs High is substantial.

For 3840x2160, the High preset's 57 FPS is borderline for a 60 Hz display. The Medium preset at 62 FPS is a slightly safer choice, and it is the highest setting that stays above 60 FPS on average. The Low preset gives 79 FPS, which is smoother but with reduced visual quality.

The data shows a clear pattern: the Medium settings are the most balanced for most scenarios, offering a significant performance headroom over High while still looking credible. The Ultra preset, which averages 36 FPS at 4K, 61 FPS at 1440p, and 87 FPS at 1080p, is only advisable for users who prioritize maximum visual quality over smoothness.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is the primary driver of frame rates in Greedfall, as the game is graphically demanding. The GPU's 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for the textures and assets at the tested resolutions. The boost clock of 2497 MHz and the base clock of 2280 MHz contribute to the card's compute performance, which is measured at 19.18 TFLOPS FP32.

The GPU's 3840 shading units and 120 texture mapping units handle the game's rendering load, while the 48 ROPs manage the final output. The card's 30 RT cores and 120 tensor cores are present, but they are not specifically leveraged by this game, as it does not heavily utilize ray tracing or DLSS features. The GPU's average benchmark score of 26331 places it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, which is a solid tier for 1440p and 1080p gaming.

The RTX 5060's performance in Greedfall is heavily influenced by the settings preset. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low (192 FPS) and Ultra (87 FPS) is 109 FPS, which is a massive drop, indicating the presets scale the GPU load significantly. At 2560x1440, the drop from Low (133 FPS) to Ultra (61 FPS) is a 72 FPS loss. At 4K, the Ultra preset drops to 36 FPS, which is a clear sign of the GPU being saturated.

The GPU's memory capacity of 8 GB is sufficient for the game at these settings, as the frame rates are not limited by VRAM in the data. The memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s is adequate, but the card's performance is more limited by its compute power than its memory bandwidth, as the drop from Medium to Ultra settings shows a consistent performance scaling.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 192 FPS, which is the highest score in the entire dataset. The Medium preset follows at 151 FPS, with a minimum of 128 and a maximum of 175. The High preset averages 137 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to 87 FPS. This is a clear scaling pattern where the Ultra preset costs 54% of the Low's frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset gives 133 FPS, the Medium shows 105 FPS (with a minimum of 89 and a maximum of 120), the High averages 95 FPS, and the Ultra drops to 61 FPS. The Medium settings provide a good frame rate stability, as indicated by the minimum and maximum values.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the highest at 79 FPS, followed by the Medium at 62 FPS (with a minimum of 53 and a maximum of 72). The High preset drops to 57 FPS, and the Ultra preset is the lowest at 36 FPS. This shows that 4K requires a lowering of settings to achieve a playable frame rate.

The data indicates that the game is generally CPU-bound at lower resolutions and settings, but GPU-bound at higher resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the frame rate is 192 FPS, which is likely limited by the CPU's single-thread performance. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate is 36 FPS, which is clearly GPU-limited.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is ranked 1639 out of 3703 tested combinations in Greedfall. This places it in the 44th percentile of all tested combos, which is a solid mid-to-upper position. The rank indicates that this pairing is more capable than the majority of systems, but it is not at the top of the table.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 25517, with a percentile of 78, indicates that the processor is strong relative to all CPUs. The GPU's average benchmark score of 26331, with a percentile of 72, shows it is also a solid performer. The combination of these two parts results in a frame rate that is competitive for this game.

The nearest rivals to the GPU, the AMD Radeon 860M and the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, have very similar scores, which means that the RTX 5060 is matched with those parts in terms of raw compute. The CPU's nearest rivals, the Intel Xeon D-2752TER and the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, are also close, indicating that the system is in a competitive performance class.

The rank of 1639 suggests that there is a significant number of combos that perform better, but also a large number that perform worse. For a game like Greedfall, this combo is well-positioned for a smooth experience at 1440p and 1080p.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm process. Its base clock is 3.70 GHz, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and it has a TDP of 65 W. The CPU has a 16 MB L3 cache, and it supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel memory bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

The CPU's benchmark scores show that it is a strong multi-threaded performer, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20655. The single-core score is 2916 in Cinebench R23, which is important for games that rely on single-thread performance. The Geekbench scores are 9959 for multi-core and 1907 for single-core.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is less critical than the GPU, as the game is graphically demanding. At 1080p Low, the frame rate of 192 FPS indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data, but the GPU is the limit. At higher resolutions, the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The CPU's performance percentile of 78% shows that it is better than many other CPUs, which helps maintain high frame rates in the game.

The CPU's 16 threads are sufficient for the game's engine, which can use multiple cores. The data suggests that a strong 8-core CPU is more than enough for this title, and the Ryzen 7 5700 provides a balance of multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The CPU's 78th percentile rank versus all CPUs confirms that it is a capable processor for modern gaming.
