Greedfall

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination sits at rank 788 out of 3703 tested combos for Greedfall. That places it comfortably inside the top quarter of all hardware pairings the database has measured for this title. In percentile terms, the GPU itself lands at the 82nd percentile against all tested graphics cards, while the CPU holds the 79th percentile against all tested processors — both are strong individual performers, and the combined result reflects that.

What this rank means in practice is that this combo is built for high-refresh 1440p and smooth 4K play in Greedfall, not for chasing the absolute top of the leaderboard. The delta between this pairing and the very fastest combos is driven primarily by the CPU's position in the mid-range stack rather than by GPU limitations. The RTX 5070's benchmark average of 40377 sits within 2% of its nearest rivals — the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (40318, 0.1% slower), the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 (40063, 0.8% slower), and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (40870, 1.2% faster). The CPU's average of 27051 is similarly tight against the Intel Core i9-9900K (27097, 0.2% faster) and the Intel Core i5-14400T (27166, 0.4% faster). This is a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically bottlenecks the other in Greedfall's engine.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 brings 12 GB of GDDR7 memory across a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. For Greedfall, a 2019 Action RPG, this memory configuration is more than adequate at every resolution tested. The card's base clock runs at 2325 MHz with a boost of 2512 MHz, and the memory operates at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective throughput. These clocks feed 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units.

The GPU's role in this game's results becomes clearer when you look at the scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 265 FPS average, but at 4K Ultra it drops to 50 FPS average. That is a wide spread that shows the RTX 5070 is doing the heavy lifting as resolution increases. The card's 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate are the key specifications driving Greedfall's scene complexity. The 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores are present, though this older title does not meaningfully stress ray tracing or DLSS workloads.

At 4K Medium, the measured minimum of 73 FPS and maximum of 99 FPS show the GPU holding a playable window even when the engine's draw calls spike. The 12 GB frame buffer is not a constraint here — Greedfall's texture loads at 4K Ultra fit comfortably within it, and the 50 FPS average at that preset is a compute-bound result rather than a memory-capacity issue. The card's 82nd percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms it is a top-tier part, and in this game it behaves accordingly.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rate data for this combo covers three resolutions and four settings presets, giving a full picture of performance scaling. At 1920x1080, the lowest tested resolution, the combo delivers 265 FPS average on Low, 208 FPS average on Medium (with a 177 FPS minimum and 240 FPS maximum), 189 FPS average on High, and 121 FPS average on Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 144 FPS, which shows how much headroom the GPU has at this resolution — even Ultra settings leave the system far above typical 60 Hz displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers tighten. Low settings produce 184 FPS average, Medium produces 144 FPS average with a 123 FPS minimum and 166 FPS maximum, High produces 131 FPS average, and Ultra drops to 84 FPS average. The jump from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 30% of the average FPS at each preset, which is a typical scaling factor for a GPU with 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The 1440p Medium result is particularly notable — the 123 FPS minimum means even the worst frame drops stay above 120 FPS, making this a strong choice for high-refresh 1440p monitors.

At 3840x2160, the combo remains playable across all settings. Low hits 110 FPS average, Medium hits 86 FPS average with a 73 FPS minimum and 99 FPS maximum, High hits 78 FPS average, and Ultra drops to 50 FPS average. The 4K results show a clear pattern: the RTX 5070 can handle 4K at medium-to-high settings with frame rates in the 78-86 FPS range, while Ultra pushes the engine hard enough to drop below 60 FPS. The 4K Medium minimum of 73 FPS is the key number — it shows that even in demanding scenes, this combo does not stutter at 4K.

The measured data also reveals how settings affect performance differently across resolutions. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 144 FPS (265 to 121). At 1440p, that same gap is 100 FPS (184 to 84). At 4K, the gap narrows to 60 FPS (110 to 50). This compression at higher resolutions confirms that the GPU becomes the primary limiter as pixel count rises, while at 1080p the CPU's role in maintaining high frame rates becomes more significant.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to 1440p Medium as the best overall experience for this combo. It delivers 144 FPS average with a 123 FPS minimum and 166 FPS maximum, which is the only measured preset that combines a 144+ FPS average with a minimum above 120 FPS. This is the sweet spot for high-refresh 1440p monitors — the frame pacing stays smooth, and the visual quality jump from Low to Medium is noticeable in an Action RPG like Greedfall.

For 4K users, Medium is also the recommended preset. The 86 FPS average with a 73 FPS minimum keeps the experience above 60 FPS at all times, while High drops to 78 FPS average and Ultra falls to 50 FPS. The 4K Medium result gives you the best balance of visual fidelity and playability — the 73 FPS floor is the only 4K preset measured with a minimum above 60 FPS. If you have a 60 Hz 4K display and want maximum visual quality, High at 78 FPS average is viable, but Ultra at 50 FPS average will show visible judder on standard refresh panels.

At 1080p, the recommendation depends on your display's refresh rate. For 240 Hz panels, 1080p Medium at 208 FPS average (with a 177 FPS minimum) is the best match — the minimum stays above 170 FPS, which keeps the experience smooth on most high-refresh monitors. For 144 Hz panels, 1080p High at 189 FPS average gives you headroom above the refresh cap, and Ultra at 121 FPS average is also playable if you prefer maximum settings. The 1080p Low result of 265 FPS average is only useful for competitive play, which is not a primary concern for a single-player Action RPG.

The settings scaling data also suggests a practical approach: if you are playing at 1440p and want more visual fidelity than Medium, the jump to High costs only 13 FPS (144 to 131), which is a reasonable trade. The jump from High to Ultra costs 47 FPS (131 to 84), which is much steeper. This non-linear scaling — small cost for High, large cost for Ultra — is typical of Greedfall's engine and should guide your settings choices.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename), built on TSMC's 7 nm process. It runs at a base clock of 3.80 GHz with a boost of 4.60 GHz, and its 65 W TDP makes it a modest power draw for the performance it delivers. The CPU's cache configuration includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel access and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, which is a potential consideration for a 2025 GPU pairing.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is most visible at lower resolutions. The 1080p Low result of 265 FPS average and the 1080p Medium result of 208 FPS average are frame rates that require strong single-threaded performance. The 5700G's single-thread benchmark scores — 899 in 3dmark_single_thread, 1494 in cinebench_r23_singlecore, and 1894 in geekbench_singlecore — show this is a capable part for older game engines that rely on fewer threads. The 8-core configuration provides 16 threads for background tasks and more parallel workloads, but Greedfall's 2019 engine does not heavily scale beyond 8 threads.

The CPU's benchmark profile shows it sits at the 79th percentile against all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27051. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, scores 27097 (0.2% faster), and the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166 (0.4% faster). These are all close enough to be considered equivalent in real-world gaming, and the 5700G's multi-thread scores — 12830.5 in cinebench_r23_multicore and 24419 in passmark_multithread — confirm it is not a weak link in this combo.

The CPU's 3dmark 16-thread score of 6629 and max-thread score of 6627 indicate that all 8 cores and 16 threads are being utilized effectively, with no thermal or power throttling observed in the data. The 2-thread score of 1758 and 4-thread score of 3389 show moderate scaling for lighter workloads, which is typical for Zen 3. In Greedfall, where the engine is not heavily multi-threaded, the CPU's strong single-thread performance (3dmark_single_thread score of 899) is the more relevant metric, and it holds up well against the competition.

The practical takeaway is that the 5700G does not bottleneck the RTX 5070 in Greedfall at any resolution tested. The 4K Ultra result of 50 FPS average is clearly GPU-bound, and the 1080p Low result of 265 FPS average shows the CPU can feed the GPU with high frame rates when the graphics load is light. The 65 W TDP and 16 MB L3 cache are appropriate for this workload, and the combo's rank of 788 out of 3703 reflects a well-matched pairing. If you are building with this CPU, the only limitation you might feel is in more modern games with heavier single-threaded demands, but Greedfall is not one of them.
