Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers a measured performance profile in Greedfall that places the combination 96th out of 1705 tested setups. The data, captured across three resolutions and four quality presets, reveals how this CPU-GPU pairing scales under load and where each component becomes the limiting factor.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS values show a clear downward trend as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 243.6 at 1080p to 165.8 at 1440p and then to 97.9 at 4K. The Low preset follows a similar path: 330.3 at 1080p, 235.2 at 1440p, and 136.8 at 4K. Medium settings produce 265.6, 185.2, and 108.5 across the same resolutions, while Ultra drops from 154.7 to 106.7 to 64.6.

The magnitude of the drop between 1080p and 4K is substantial for every preset. For example, the 4K High average of 97.9 is less than half of the 1080p High figure of 243.6. This pattern strongly suggests that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the RTX 5080's compute and memory resources are increasingly taxed. Conversely, the very high frame rates at 1080p—especially the 330.3 FPS on Low—indicate that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well beyond typical display refresh rates. The scaling behavior implies that at 1080p the system is often CPU-limited, while at 4K the GPU is the limiting component.

GPU Role

The RTX 5080 brings a 16 GB GDDR7 frame buffer with a 256-bit bus and 960.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its base clock is 2295 MHz, boosting to 2617 MHz, and the memory runs at 1875 MHz (30 Gbps effective). The GPU also features 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs, with a pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s. Its FP32 throughput is 56.28 TFLOPS.

These specifications place the GPU in the 89th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 59188. In Greedfall, the GPU's influence is most visible at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops to 64.6—the lowest measured value in the entire dataset. Even at 4K High, the average is 97.9, which is still above 60 FPS but far below the 1080p results. The data indicates that the GPU's raw compute and memory bandwidth are sufficient for high frame rates at 1440p and below, but the Ultra preset at 4K pushes the card to its limits.

Measured FPS Breakdown

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 97.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 136.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 108.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 64.6 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 165.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 235.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 185.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 106.7 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 243.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 330.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 265.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 154.7 |

The table shows a consistent ordering across resolutions: Low produces the highest FPS, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra always the lowest. At 1080p, even Ultra exceeds 150 FPS, while at 4K only Low and Medium stay above 100 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases—at 1080p the difference is 175.6 FPS (330.3 vs 154.7), but at 4K it narrows to 72.2 FPS (136.8 vs 64.6). This suggests that the GPU's workload scales more steeply with resolution than with preset quality, making the Ultra preset particularly demanding at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and RTX 5080 achieves a rank of 96 out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the upper tier of systems, though not at the very top. The CPU itself sits in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24673. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-1360P (avg score 24627, delta 0.2%), the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D (24605, delta 0.3%), and the Intel Core i5-11600 (24559, delta 0.5%). The GPU, meanwhile, is in the 89th percentile with an average score of 59188, and its nearest rivals are the Intel Arc A570M (58239, delta 1.6%), Intel Arc Pro A60 (60326, delta -1.9%), and Intel Arc A580 (57756, delta 2.5%).

The rank of 96 suggests that while both components are individually strong, the overall system performance in Greedfall is not exceptional compared to other high-end pairings. The data does not reveal which other combos outrank it, but the percentile scores indicate that the CPU and GPU are both above average, yet the game's specific demands may not fully utilize their combined potential.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the Medium preset offers a higher average frame rate than High at every resolution. At 4K, Medium yields 108.5 FPS versus 97.9 for High; at 1440p, 185.2 versus 165.8; and at 1080p, 265.6 versus 243.6. This pattern suggests that the High preset introduces a significant performance cost without a proportional visual benefit, at least in terms of frame rate. Low settings provide the highest FPS (330.3 at 1080p, 235.2 at 1440p, 136.8 at 4K), but the visual quality trade-off may be undesirable for many players.

Ultra is the most demanding preset, with the lowest FPS at all resolutions—154.7 at 1080p, 106.7 at 1440p, and 64.6 at 4K. While 64.6 FPS is still playable, it is the only measured value below 60 FPS. For a balance of visual fidelity and smoothness, Medium appears to be the optimal choice, as it consistently outperforms High while presumably retaining a reasonable level of graphical detail. If maximum image quality is the priority, High at 1440p (165.8 FPS) or 4K (97.9 FPS) remains viable, but Ultra should be reserved for users who accept lower frame rates in exchange for the highest settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz. It features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a large 96 MB shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and it uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 22366 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 3157 in single-core. Its Geekbench multicore score is 10108, and single-core is 1922. The passmark multithread score is 26318, with a single-thread score of 2970. These results place the CPU in the 82nd percentile, with an average benchmark score of 24673. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.5% in average score, indicating that the 5700X3D is competitive with a range of other processors.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p, where the combo reaches 330.3 FPS on Low settings. This high frame rate suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions, and its 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to feed the RTX 5080. The large L3 cache may contribute to gaming performance, though the data does not isolate its effect. At 4K, the CPU's influence diminishes as the GPU becomes the limiting factor, but the overall system still delivers playable frame rates across all presets.
