Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination delivers a playable but resolution-sensitive experience in Greedfall, with the GPU acting as the primary constraint at higher settings. The data shows a clear hierarchy where 1080p and 1440p provide smooth gameplay at medium and high presets, while 4K remains demanding, with only the low preset approaching 60 FPS. This pairing ranks in the bottom half of tested configurations, indicating that while it is capable, it does not excel at pushing maximum visual fidelity.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates demonstrate a steep performance cost as resolution increases, directly pointing to the GPU as the limiting component. At 1080p High, the combo produces 98.6 FPS, which drops to 70.5 FPS at 1440p High—a 28.5% reduction—and further plummets to 39.8 FPS at 4K High, a 59.7% decrease from the 1080p figure. This scaling pattern is typical of a graphics-bound scenario where the CPU has ample headroom.

The trend is consistent across all settings. At Medium, the frame rates fall from 109.1 FPS at 1080p to 79.0 FPS at 1440p (a 27.6% drop) and then to 46.6 FPS at 4K (a 57.3% drop from 1080p). Even at the Low preset, which minimizes GPU load, the scaling remains pronounced: 138.7 FPS at 1080p drops to 96.5 FPS at 1440p and 54.7 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low figure is still 60.6% lower than the 1080p Low result, confirming that the RTX 2060's rendering throughput is the bottleneck.

Ultra settings exacerbate the issue. At 1080p Ultra, the combo manages 63.2 FPS, but this falls to 42.5 FPS at 1440p and a marginal 25.9 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is less than half the 1080p Ultra score, illustrating that the GPU's 6 GB VRAM and compute resources are overwhelmed by the combination of high resolution and maximum detail. The scaling data suggests that users targeting 4K must accept significant compromises, while 1080p and 1440p are the practical operating ranges for this hardware.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is the decisive factor in this game's performance, given the resolution scaling evidence. Its 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at most settings but becomes strained at 4K with higher presets. The GPU's base clock of 1365 MHz and boost clock of 1680 MHz, paired with 1920 shading units, deliver a consistent frame rate at lower resolutions but cannot sustain high FPS at 4K Ultra.

The benchmark data shows the RTX 2060 sits at the 58th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16074. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7600S, scores 15996, a delta of only 0.5% in favor of the RTX 2060. This indicates that the GPU is a mid-range performer relative to the entire database, and its performance in Greedfall aligns with that positioning—capable at mainstream resolutions but not a high-end 4K solution.

The 4K Ultra result of 25.9 FPS is particularly telling. It suggests that the GPU's 48 ROPs and 6.451 TFLOPS of FP32 compute are insufficient for the pixel throughput required at 3840x2160 with maximum settings. Conversely, the 1080p Low result of 138.7 FPS shows that when the GPU is not heavily tasked, the system can deliver high refresh rates, meaning the CPU is not holding back the graphics card in lighter loads.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D provides ample processing power for Greedfall, as evidenced by the high frame rates at lower resolutions where GPU load is reduced. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, this CPU offers strong multi-threaded performance. Its 96 MB of shared L3 cache is a standout feature that likely aids in game logic and asset streaming, though the measured data does not isolate CPU-specific bottlenecks.

The CPU's benchmark scores show it is a solid performer. In Cinebench R23, it scores 22366 multicore and 3157 singlecore, placing it in the 82nd percentile among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 24673 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-1360P, which scores 24627 with a delta of only 0.2%. This indicates that the CPU is not a weak link in the combo.

At 1080p Low, the system reaches 138.7 FPS, which is a strong indicator that the CPU can feed the GPU efficiently even at high frame rates. The fact that the 1080p Medium result (109.1 FPS) is higher than the 1440p High result (70.5 FPS) reinforces that the CPU is not the constraint; the GPU is. The 5700X3D's 3.00 GHz base clock and 4.10 GHz boost clock, combined with its large cache, ensure that the RTX 2060 is the limiting factor across all tested configurations.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and RTX 2060 ranks 1394 out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the lower 18% of configurations. This rank reflects the GPU's mid-range status, as the CPU is a high-end part that could support a faster graphics card. The data indicates that the combo is suitable for 1080p gaming but falls behind other pairings that include more powerful GPUs.

The ranking suggests that while the CPU is a strong asset, the GPU drags the overall performance down in this title. For context, the RTX 2060's percentile rank of 58 means it outperforms only about 58% of GPUs, which aligns with a combo rank that is near the bottom quartile. The measured FPS at 1080p High (98.6 FPS) is respectable, but the 4K Ultra result of 25.9 FPS shows the combo's limitations in demanding scenarios. This pairing is best viewed as a 1080p-focused solution, with 1440p being possible at lower settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience balances visual quality and frame rate. At 1080p, the Medium preset delivers 109.1 FPS, which is smooth and visually acceptable, while High offers 98.6 FPS for a modest visual improvement. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 63.2 FPS, which is still playable but sacrifices the headroom needed for consistent 60 FPS in demanding scenes. The Low preset at 1080p achieves 138.7 FPS but at a significant visual cost.

For 1440p, the High preset provides 70.5 FPS, which is a good target for a 60 Hz monitor, while Medium offers 79.0 FPS for those who prefer higher frame rates. The Ultra preset at 1440p falls to 42.5 FPS, which is below the ideal threshold for smooth gameplay. At 4K, the Low preset is the only option that approaches playability at 54.7 FPS, while Medium drops to 46.6 FPS and High falls to 39.8 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is not recommended due to its 25.9 FPS result.

The data suggests that the best experience is at 1080p with Medium or High settings, or at 1440p with High settings. Users prioritizing frame rate should choose 1080p Low for 138.7 FPS, while those seeking a balance should opt for 1440p High at 70.5 FPS. For 4K, only the Low setting is viable, and even then, the frame rate is below 60 FPS.
