GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for Greedfall, as evidenced by the framerate scaling across settings. Built on the Turing architecture with 2560 shading units, the GPU operates at a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is directly relevant to the game's performance, as the 3840x2160 Ultra preset (30.3 FPS) shows a stark contrast to the 1920x1080 Ultra preset (78.4 FPS), indicating that the GPU's memory bandwidth and capacity are strained at higher resolutions.

The GPU’s compute capabilities, rated at 9.062 TFLOPS for FP32, are the primary driver of the framerate differences between settings. The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU, but as resolution increases, the GPU’s fill rate and texture rate (113.3 GPixel/s and 283.2 GTexel/s, respectively) become the limiting factor. The RTX 2070 SUPER’s 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present in the architecture, but Greedfall’s performance is more heavily influenced by the standard rasterization pipeline, as seen in the Passmark DirectX 11 score of 151 and DirectX 12 score of 67.

The GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22206, positions it as a mid-to-upper-tier card. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307 (0.5% higher), while the older GTX TITAN Z scores 22006 (0.9% lower). This close grouping suggests that the RTX 2070 SUPER is operating at the edge of its performance class, and Greedfall’s higher settings push it beyond its comfort zone.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K, with the most pronounced drops occurring at the Ultra preset. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 164.7 (Low) to 78.4 (Ultra). Moving to 2560x1440, these figures drop to 116.4 (Low) and 52.5 (Ultra), representing a reduction of 29.3% and 33.0%, respectively. At 3840x2160, the averages fall further to 67.3 (Low) and 30.3 (Ultra), which is a 59.1% drop from 1080p Low and a 61.4% drop from 1080p Ultra.

This scaling behavior indicates that the system is GPU-limited at higher resolutions. The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a moderate decline, but the jump to 4K nearly halves the framerate at every settings level. For instance, High settings yield 118.5 FPS at 1080p, 81.4 FPS at 1440p, and 51.5 FPS at 4K. The consistent ratio of framerate drops—roughly 30% from 1080p to 1440p and another 37% from 1440p to 4K—points to the GPU’s rendering pipeline as the bottleneck, rather than the CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads.

The CPU’s role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 164.7 FPS average suggests the Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 16 MB L3 cache and 3.80 GHz base clock, is capable of feeding the GPU adequately. However, the framerate ceiling at 1080p Ultra (78.4 FPS) shows that the GPU’s limited compute resources, not the CPU, are what prevent higher performance. The data strongly suggests that users seeking higher framerates at 4K would need a more powerful GPU, while the CPU would not be the primary limiting factor.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1051st out of 1705 tested combinations for Greedfall, placing it in the bottom 38% of all systems. This ranking is somewhat surprising given the individual component performance, as the CPU sits in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs and the GPU in the 65th percentile. The discrepancy suggests that the pairing’s overall effectiveness is tempered by the game’s specific demands, particularly at higher settings and resolutions.

Compared to other combos in the database, this system’s rank indicates that while it can handle the game at medium settings, it falls behind many other configurations when pushed to Ultra. The CPU’s nearest rivals—the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, Intel Xeon D-2752TER, and Intel Core 5 210H—all have average benchmark scores within 0.6% of the 5700G, yet the gaming performance is more dependent on the GPU. The GPU’s rivals, including the RTX A400 and GTX TITAN Z, are similarly close in raw compute, but the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth give it an edge in memory-intensive scenarios.

The rank of 1051 out of 1705 implies that there are 654 combos that perform worse, but also that a significant number of systems outperform this one. The data shows that the combo is well-suited for 1080p gaming, where it achieves framerates above 100 FPS at Low and Medium settings, but the Ultra preset at 4K (30.3 FPS) is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. This places the combo in a middle ground: capable but not exceptional for a demanding title like Greedfall.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of the combo’s performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the system achieves an average of 164.7 FPS at Low settings, 135.2 FPS at Medium, 118.5 FPS at High, and 78.4 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Low and Medium is 29.5 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 40.1 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset imposes a substantial additional load.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 116.4 FPS (Low), 93.9 FPS (Medium), 81.4 FPS (High), and 52.5 FPS (Ultra). The drop from Low to Ultra is 63.9 FPS, which is a 54.9% reduction. The High preset at 1440p is still above 60 FPS, making it a viable option for smooth gameplay, but the Ultra preset at 52.5 FPS approaches the edge of playability.

At 3840x2160, the averages fall to 67.3 FPS (Low), 52.8 FPS (Medium), 51.5 FPS (High), and 30.3 FPS (Ultra). The Low preset is the only one that consistently exceeds 60 FPS, while the High preset just barely maintains a playable framerate. The Ultra preset at 30.3 FPS is below the 30 FPS threshold for some users, indicating that this resolution/settings combination is not recommended for this hardware.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user’s target resolution and framerate preference. For 1920x1080, the High preset at 118.5 FPS provides an excellent balance of visual quality and performance, while the Ultra preset at 78.4 FPS is still smooth for most users. The Low preset at 164.7 FPS is unnecessary unless chasing maximum refresh rates, and the Medium preset at 135.2 FPS offers a solid middle ground.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 81.4 FPS is the recommended choice, as it maintains a framerate well above 60 FPS while delivering better visual fidelity than Medium (93.9 FPS) or Low (116.4 FPS). The Ultra preset at 52.5 FPS is borderline, and users who prioritize smoothness over maximum quality should stick with High. The data shows that the jump from High to Ultra at 1440p costs 28.9 FPS, which is a significant sacrifice for marginal visual gains.

For 3840x2160, the Low preset at 67.3 FPS is the only reliable option for consistent gameplay, while the Medium (52.8 FPS) and High (51.5 FPS) presets are playable but may experience occasional stutters. The Ultra preset at 30.3 FPS is not recommended for this combo, as the framerate falls below the threshold for responsive action in an Action RPG. The overall recommendation is to use High settings at 1080p or 1440p, and to avoid 4K Ultra entirely with this hardware configuration.
