Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and Radeon RX 6600 XT combination lands at rank 2624 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. That places the pairing in the lower third of the database, a position driven largely by the GPU’s mid-range standing rather than the processor. The CPU itself sits in the 81st percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU ranks in the 70th percentile among all tested graphics cards. The delta between those two percentile figures hints at the core dynamic of this combo: the processor is capable of feeding far more frames than the graphics card can render at higher settings. This is a balanced pairing only at lower resolutions and lower presets; once the settings climb, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck.

The combo’s rank is not an indictment of either component in isolation. The Ryzen 7 5800XT’s average benchmark score of 29879 puts it within 0.6% of the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS, showing it trades blows with modern mid-range silicon. On the GPU side, the RX 6600 XT’s average score of 24442 is just 0.7% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 and 1.1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, an odd grouping that underscores how synthetic averages flatten real-world variance. In Greedfall specifically, the measured data shows a system that can deliver smooth 1080p gameplay but struggles to maintain playable framerates at 4K Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide a clear hierarchy of playable settings. At 1080p, the jump from High to Low is substantial: 108 FPS average on High versus 152 FPS on Low. Medium lands at 119 FPS with a minimum of 101 FPS, which is the first row in the dataset to include a min/max range. That 101 FPS floor means the Medium preset at 1080p is the safest recommendation for a locked, high-refresh experience. High at 1080p is still excellent, but the lack of a recorded minimum makes it impossible to guarantee frame pacing. Ultra at 1080p drops to 69 FPS, which is playable but leaves no headroom for demanding scenes.

At 1440p, the picture shifts. High delivers 75 FPS, Medium 83 FPS with a 70 FPS minimum, and Low 105 FPS. The Medium row at 1440p is the standout choice: 83 FPS average with a 70 FPS floor is a better guarantee of smoothness than the 75 FPS High row, which has no recorded minimum. Ultra at 1440p drops to 48 FPS, which is borderline for an action RPG. The data suggests that Medium at 1440p is the sweet spot, offering 83 FPS while preserving enough visual fidelity over Low.

At 4K, the choices become constrained. Medium is the only preset with a recorded min/max range, showing 49 FPS average with a 42 FPS minimum and a 57 FPS maximum. That 42 FPS floor is below the 60 FPS target most players expect. High at 4K averages 45 FPS, and Low averages 63 FPS. The Low preset at 4K is the only one that clears 60 FPS, but it does so by stripping the game of most visual effects. For a playable experience with some visual quality, Medium at 4K is the recommendation, but players should expect occasional dips below 45 FPS. For a consistent 60+ FPS experience, the data points squarely at 1440p Medium or 1080p High.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6600 XT brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card’s boost clock reaches 2589 MHz, with a game clock of 2359 MHz. In Greedfall, these specifications translate into a GPU that is the primary limiter at higher resolutions and presets. The 8 GB frame buffer is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at the tested settings, but the 4K Ultra row’s 29 FPS average suggests the card is running out of both memory bandwidth and raw compute headroom. The GPU’s FP32 throughput of 10.60 TFLOPS is modest by modern standards, and the measured results reflect that: the card can handle 1080p Low at 152 FPS, but 4K Ultra cuts that number by over 80%.

The GPU’s nearest rival in the database is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630, which scores 0.7% lower on average, and the Intel Arc A350M, which scores 0.8% higher. These are not direct competitors in the same performance class, but the delta values show that the RX 6600 XT sits in a crowded mid-range band. In Greedfall, the GPU’s role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution climbs. At 1080p Low, the CPU can feed the GPU enough frames to hit 152 FPS. At 4K Ultra, the GPU’s rendering workload crushes the combo down to 29 FPS, a 5.2x drop from the best 1080p result. The RT cores and 32 shading units are present, but Greedfall does not appear to leverage ray tracing in the measured rows, so the card’s rasterization performance is what drives these numbers.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low preset averages 152 FPS, Medium averages 119 FPS with a 101 FPS minimum and 137 FPS maximum, High averages 108 FPS, and Ultra averages 69 FPS. The Medium row’s min/max range is the only one recorded at this resolution, and the 36 FPS delta between min and max indicates some scene-to-scene variance, but the 101 FPS floor is still comfortably above 60. High at 1080p lacks a recorded minimum, but the 108 FPS average suggests it is viable for 100 Hz displays. Ultra at 69 FPS is the only 1080p preset that dips into the sub-70 range, and it would be the recommendation only for players who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the scaling is predictable. Low averages 105 FPS, a 31% drop from 1080p Low. Medium averages 83 FPS with a 70 FPS minimum and 95 FPS maximum, a 30% drop from 1080p Medium. High averages 75 FPS, a 31% drop from 1080p High. Ultra averages 48 FPS, a 30% drop from 1080p Ultra. The consistency of the percentage drops across all four presets indicates a GPU-bound scenario where resolution scaling is the dominant factor. The Medium preset at 1440p is the best balance, as the 70 FPS minimum keeps the experience above the 60 FPS threshold in most scenes.

At 3840x2160, the card’s limitations become stark. Low averages 63 FPS, a 40% drop from 1440p Low and a 59% drop from 1080p Low. Medium averages 49 FPS with a 42 FPS minimum and 57 FPS maximum. High averages 45 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS. The 4K Medium row’s 42 FPS minimum is the weakest recorded floor in the entire dataset, making it marginal for a game that requires responsive combat. The gap between 4K Low at 63 FPS and 4K Medium at 49 FPS is 14 FPS, while the gap between 4K Medium and 4K High is only 4 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns on quality settings beyond Medium. The 4K Ultra result of 29 FPS is effectively unplayable for an action RPG, confirming that this resolution is only viable at Low settings.

Q: How does the CPU’s multi-threaded performance compare?

A: The Ryzen 7 5800XT scores 23794 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, and its average benchmark score of 29879 is nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H, which scores 29868.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. From 1080p Low to 1440p Low, the average FPS drops from 152 to 105, a 31% reduction. From 1440p Low to 4K Low, the drop is from 105 to 63, a 40% reduction. The same pattern holds at Medium: 119 to 83 to 49, representing 30% and 41% drops respectively. High scales from 108 to 75 to 45, a 31% and 40% drop. Ultra scales from 69 to 48 to 29, a 30% and 40% drop.

The consistency of these percentages is the key analytical finding. A 30% drop when moving from 1080p to 1440p, followed by a 40% drop when moving from 1440p to 4K, is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the percentage drops would shrink as resolution increases, because the CPU would be feeding frames at the same rate regardless of resolution. Instead, the drops accelerate at 4K, confirming that the RX 6600 XT’s rendering pipeline is saturated. The GPU’s 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 8 GB frame buffer are likely contributing factors, as 4K textures and higher resolutions demand more memory throughput.

The 4K Ultra result of 29 FPS is particularly telling. It represents a 58% drop from 1440p Ultra and an 81% drop from 1080p Ultra. That steep decline indicates that the card’s 10.60 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is insufficient for the combined load of 4K resolution and Ultra settings. The data suggests that players targeting 4K should use Low settings, which achieve 63 FPS, or drop to 1440p Medium for a better visual experience at 83 FPS. The limiting component in this combo is unambiguously the GPU, and the resolution scaling data quantifies exactly how much headroom the Ryzen 7 5800XT has left on the table at higher settings.
