Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER produces a highly playable experience in Greedfall, with the data showing that performance scales predictably with resolution and settings. This combination sits in the 1038th position out of 1705 tested combos, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. The measured frame rates reveal a system that is well-balanced at 1080p and 1440p, but which begins to show its limits at 4K, particularly under the highest graphical presets.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent drop in performance as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the High preset, the average frame rate falls from 121.1 FPS at 1080p to 85.4 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 46.3 FPS at 4K. This represents a substantial 62% reduction in frame rate when moving from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the rendering load increases dramatically with pixel count.

The pattern across all settings shows that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the limiting component at higher resolutions. At 1080p, even the demanding Ultra preset achieves 78.4 FPS, while the Low preset reaches 167.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 88.7 FPS, but this gap narrows to 36.5 FPS at 4K (70.1 FPS at Low versus 33.6 FPS at Ultra). This compression of the performance spread at 4K suggests that the GPU is becoming saturated, and the CPU's ability to feed frames becomes less relevant as the pixel fill rate takes over.

At 1440p, the data indicates a sweet spot for this hardware combination. The High preset delivers 85.4 FPS, which is a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The jump from 1080p to 1440p costs approximately 30% of the frame rate at High settings, which is a reasonable trade-off for the increased visual fidelity. The 4K results, however, show that only the Low preset (70.1 FPS) manages to stay above 60 FPS, with Medium (52.9 FPS) and High (46.3 FPS) falling below that mark.

Settings Recommendations

For users targeting a consistent 60 FPS experience, the data points to 1440p as the optimal resolution for this combo. At 1440p, both the Medium (89 FPS) and High (85.4 FPS) presets deliver well above 60 FPS, leaving headroom for demanding scenes. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 52.4 FPS, which is below the ideal threshold but still playable for those who prioritize visual quality over frame rate.

At 1080p, all four presets exceed 60 FPS, with High (121.1 FPS) and Medium (135.1 FPS) offering excellent performance. The Ultra preset at 1080p delivers 78.4 FPS, which is a smooth experience and suggests that users with 1080p displays can confidently enable the highest settings without significant compromise. The Low preset at 1080p reaches 167.1 FPS, which would be beneficial for competitive play or for users with high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 4K, the recommendation shifts to the Low preset, which is the only option that maintains a playable frame rate at 70.1 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K (52.9 FPS) is borderline, while High (46.3 FPS) and Ultra (33.6 FPS) fall short of smooth gameplay. The data suggests that 4K gaming with this combo requires significant settings reductions to remain viable, and users should consider lowering resolution or accepting lower visual fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and RTX 2070 SUPER holds a rank of 1038 out of 1705 tested combinations in Greedfall. This places the combo in the 61st percentile of all tested systems, indicating that it outperforms a majority of configurations while still trailing the top-tier setups. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing that is neither CPU-limited nor GPU-limited in most scenarios.

The CPU component of this combo, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, sits in the 82nd percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 24673 places it just ahead of the Intel Core i7-1360P (24627, a 0.2% delta) and AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D (24605, a 0.3% delta). The GPU, the RTX 2070 SUPER, holds a 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average score of 22206.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture using the TU104 chip fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC, containing 13,600 million transistors on a 545 mm² die. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is adequate for the textures and geometry present in Greedfall.

The GPU's compute capabilities include 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, delivering a pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance of 9.062 TFLOPS places this card in the upper-midrange of the GeForce 20-series lineup. The card's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22206, indicates it performs slightly above the RTX A400 (22307, a -0.5% delta) and well above the GTX TITAN Z (22006, a 0.9% delta).

In Greedfall, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. At 1080p, the frame rates range from 78.4 FPS (Ultra) to 167.1 FPS (Low), showing that the GPU has ample headroom. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, as the Ultra preset drops to 33.6 FPS. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is not exceeded in this game, as the performance degradation at 4K is consistent with compute limitations rather than memory swapping. The card's DirectX 12 Ultimate support is relevant, as the game can leverage modern rendering features without compatibility issues.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is a desktop processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz. The CPU is manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC, containing 8,850 million transistors on a 74 mm² die. The 96 MB of shared L3 cache is a distinctive feature of the X3D series, providing substantial cache capacity for game workloads.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22366 and a single-core score of 3157. The Geekbench multi-core score of 10108 and single-core score of 1922 further confirm balanced performance across workloads. The Passmark multi-thread score of 26318 and single-thread score of 2970 place the CPU in the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24673. This puts it just 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-1360P (24627) and 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D (24605).

In Greedfall, the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads provide sufficient processing power to avoid becoming a bottleneck, even at lower resolutions where frame rates are high. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 167.1 FPS, indicating that the CPU can feed frames at a rapid rate. The 96 MB L3 cache likely helps with game logic and asset streaming, reducing potential stutters. The CPU's 105 W TDP and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for this game's requirements. The boost clock of 4.10 GHz ensures responsive single-threaded performance, which is beneficial for the game's AI and physics calculations.
