Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 delivers a playable experience in Greedfall, but the data reveals a system that is heavily dependent on resolution and settings. The measured frames per second (FPS) show a clear scaling pattern that makes the GPU the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU's capabilities become more apparent at 1080p.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K produces a dramatic drop in performance, confirming that the Radeon RX 7600 is the limiting component at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 109.9 at 1920x1080 to 75.8 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 34.1 frames per second. Moving to 3840x2160 brings the average down to 46.8 FPS, which is less than half of the 1080p result. This steep decline is a textbook sign of GPU-bound rendering, where the graphics card's processing power dictates the frame rate.

The pattern holds across all settings presets. With Low settings, the average drops from 153 at 1080p to 103.6 at 1440p and 60.3 at 4K. The Medium preset shows 118.9 at 1080p, 84.6 at 1440p, and 50.8 at 4K. Even the Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, follows the same trajectory: 69.4 at 1080p, 50.8 at 1440p, and 28.2 at 4K. The consistency of this scaling indicates that the CPU is not the primary constraint when resolution increases; instead, the RX 7600's workload grows proportionally with pixel count.

The difference between 1080p and 1440p is particularly telling. At High settings, the 75.8 FPS at 1440p is still smooth, but the 34.1 FPS drop from 1080p suggests the GPU is already working hard. The jump to 4K at High settings yields 46.8 FPS, which is borderline for a fluid experience. The data suggests that 4K is only viable at Low settings, where the 60.3 FPS average barely clears the 60 FPS threshold. For any settings above Low, 4K will require compromises, and the Ultra preset at 4K is nearly unplayable at 28.2 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand scheme of tested hardware combinations, this pairing sits in the middle of the pack. The combo ranks 1185 out of 1705 tested combinations for Greedfall, placing it in the 69.5 percentile of all tested setups. This is a solid, if unspectacular, position that reflects the balance between the Ryzen 7 5700G and the RX 7600.

The ranking indicates that this combo outperforms roughly 70 percent of the configurations tested for this game, but it also means that a significant number of setups deliver higher frame rates. The rank is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows strong 1080p performance but diminishing returns at higher resolutions. For a system built around an 8-core CPU and a mid-range GPU, this placement is expected; it is not a top-tier combo, but it is far from a weak one.

The CPU and GPU individually also provide context. The Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 25626, which places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U with a score of 25706 and a delta of -0.3 percent, and the Intel Xeon D-2752TER at 25532 with a delta of 0.4 percent. These are close matches, showing that the 5700G performs competitively with other mid-range processors. The Radeon RX 7600, with an average benchmark score of 20258, sits in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT at 20146 (delta 0.6 percent) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20534 (delta -1.3 percent). The GPU is slightly less dominant in its own field than the CPU, which aligns with the resolution scaling that shows the GPU becoming the limiting factor at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It has 16 MB of L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. These specifications suggest a capable gaming CPU, and the benchmark data confirms this. In 3DMark, it scores 6629 with 16 threads and 899 in the single-thread test, while Cinebench R23 scores are 20755 multicore and 2930 singlecore.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p, where the GPU is less stressed. At Low settings, the 153 FPS average at 1080p is significantly higher than the 103.6 FPS at 1440p, indicating that the CPU can feed frames quickly when the GPU has less work to do. The 8 cores and 16 threads ensure that the game's background tasks and physics calculations do not become a bottleneck, even with multiple background processes. The boost clock of 4.60 GHz helps with single-threaded tasks, which are common in action RPGs, and the 3.80 GHz base clock provides sustained performance under load.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 83 versus all CPUs supports its strong showing. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, is only 0.3 percent behind in average score, meaning the 5700G is on par with other high-end mobile and desktop chips. The 16 MB of L3 cache is sufficient for gaming workloads, and the 7 nm process node from TSMC keeps power consumption at a 65 W TDP, making it an efficient choice. In this combo, the CPU is not the limiting factor at any resolution; the data shows that the GPU takes over as the primary constraint as resolution increases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a full picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers the highest average FPS at 153, followed by Medium at 118.9, High at 109.9, and Ultra at 69.4. The gap between Low and Medium is 34.1 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 9 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra is substantial, costing 40.5 FPS, which shows that the Ultra preset is disproportionately demanding.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 103.6 for Low, 84.6 for Medium, 75.8 for High, and 50.8 for Ultra. The scaling is more linear here, with drops of 19 FPS from Low to Medium, 8.8 FPS from Medium to High, and 25 FPS from High to Ultra. The 50.8 FPS at Ultra is below the 60 FPS target, indicating that 1440p Ultra is not a smooth experience. The High preset at 75.8 FPS is the best balance for this resolution, offering a solid frame rate without the extreme cost of Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 60.3 for Low, 50.8 for Medium, 46.8 for High, and 28.2 for Ultra. Only the Low preset achieves the 60 FPS threshold, while Medium and High hover in the 46-51 FPS range, which is playable but not ideal. Ultra at 28.2 FPS is practically unplayable for an action RPG, as the low frame rate would hinder combat responsiveness. The difference between Low and Medium at 4K is 9.5 FPS, while the difference between Medium and High is 4 FPS, showing that the GPU is saturated at this resolution.

The data indicates that the sweet spot for this combo is 1080p, where all presets except Ultra are above 100 FPS. At 1440p, the High preset is the best choice, and at 4K, only Low settings are viable for a 60 FPS experience.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is a mid-range graphics card based on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, with a chip codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. It has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. The GPU has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation units, with a boost clock of 2655 MHz and a game clock of 2250 MHz. Its FP32 performance is 21.75 TFLOPS, and it has 32 ray tracing cores.

In Greedfall, the GPU's role is dominant at higher resolutions, as shown by the steep FPS drop from 1080p to 4K. The 8 GB of VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the memory bandwidth and capacity become a limiting factor. The 288.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for the game's textures, but the 128-bit bus is narrow compared to higher-end cards, which contributes to the significant performance loss at 4K Ultra. The GPU's 63rd percentile ranking versus all GPUs places it in the lower half of the tested field, and its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, is only 0.6 percent ahead in average score.

The boost clock of 2655 MHz helps maintain high frame rates at 1080p, where the GPU is not fully saturated. The 21.75 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is enough to handle the game's effects and lighting at medium to high settings. However, the Ultra preset at any resolution causes a disproportionate drop, which suggests that the GPU struggles with the highest texture and shadow quality settings. The 8 GB VRAM is a concern for 4K, where the game may exceed this limit, leading to texture swapping and lower frame rates. The data shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck for this combo, particularly at 1440p and above.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the best experience for this combo in Greedfall depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the High preset at 109.9 FPS is the optimal choice, as it provides a smooth, responsive experience with high visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 118.9 FPS offers a slight performance boost with a minor visual reduction, but High is a better balance. The Ultra preset at 69.4 FPS is playable, but the 28.6 FPS drop from High is not worth the marginal visual improvement.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 75.8 FPS is the recommended setting. It delivers a frame rate that is well above the 60 FPS threshold, and the visual quality is high. The Medium preset at 84.6 FPS is also viable and offers a smoother experience, but High provides a better image. The Ultra preset at 50.8 FPS is below 60 FPS and should be avoided, as the performance hit is significant.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset at 60.3 FPS is the only setting that achieves the 60 FPS target. This is the recommended choice for 4K, but it requires a significant reduction in visual quality. The Medium preset at 50.8 FPS is playable, but the 9.5 FPS drop from Low may not be worth the visual upgrade. High at 46.8 FPS is borderline, and Ultra at 28.2 FPS is not recommended for any serious gameplay.

For the best overall experience, 1080p with High settings is the sweet spot for this combo. It offers a high frame rate with good visual quality, and the data shows that the CPU and GPU are well balanced at this resolution. At 1440p, High is the best option, while 4K should only be used with Low settings for a playable experience.
