Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Greedfall, but the data shows a sharp drop-off at 4K Ultra that exposes the GPU's limits. The benchmark results position this combo in the middle of the pack, ranking 857th out of 1705 tested combinations, which is a respectable showing for a pairing of a Zen 3 desktop CPU with an RDNA 2 graphics card.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling across resolutions tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lies. At 1080p with High settings, the combo produces 137.6 FPS, but dropping the resolution to 1440p reduces that to 93 FPS, a 32.4% decrease. Moving to 4K High brings the average down further to 53.7 FPS, which is a 61% reduction from the 1080p figure. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor as pixel count increases.

The scaling pattern becomes even more pronounced when examining the Low settings tier. The 5800XT and RX 6750 XT achieve 191 FPS at 1080p Low, but that number falls to 131.9 FPS at 1440p and 79.9 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p Low is 31%, while the 1440p to 4K drop is 39.5%. This consistent 30-40% penalty per resolution step suggests the Radeon RX 6750 XT's 12 GB frame buffer and 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are being saturated, not the CPU's compute resources.

An important observation is the diminishing returns at higher settings. At 1080p, the jump from Low to Ultra costs 103.4 FPS (from 191 to 87.6), while at 4K the same settings jump only loses 43.6 FPS (from 79.9 to 36.3). This compression at 4K Ultra, where the average settles at 36.3 FPS, confirms that the GPU is fully saturated and cannot translate the CPU's headroom into additional frames. The data suggests that 1440p is the sweet spot for this pairing, with High settings delivering 93 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 22 chip, manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2150 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, with a game clock rated at 2495 MHz. These clock speeds are central to the card's performance in Greedfall, as the title's engine appears to scale well with raw shader throughput.

The GPU's memory configuration consists of 12 GB of GDDR6 across a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory subsystem is likely a key factor in the 4K results, where the 36.3 FPS average at Ultra settings suggests the frame buffer is being taxed heavily. The compute capabilities are rated at 13.31 TFLOPS FP32, with a texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s. These specifications place the card at the 79th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 35327.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the RX 6750 XT shows a narrow performance band. The AMD Radeon RX 5600M is just 0.2% behind, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is 0.3% ahead. The AMD Radeon 880M is 0.9% faster, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 leads by 1.3%. These small deltas indicate that the RX 6750 XT sits in a highly competitive performance tier, and the Greedfall results reflect this positioning.

The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and 2560 shading units are relevant to Greedfall's rendering workload. The game's action RPG combat and exploration scenes benefit from the card's 40 ray tracing cores, although the measured FPS data does not suggest ray tracing is a dominant factor at the tested settings. The 64 ROPs handle the rasterization workload efficiently at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result of 36.3 FPS indicates the pixel fill rate becomes a limiting factor at that resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is a Zen 3 architecture processor with the Vermeer codename, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The CPU features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. These specifications are adequate for Greedfall's CPU demands, as the game's 2019 release date means it does not heavily utilize multi-threaded workloads.

The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a 32 MB L3 cache. This large L3 cache is beneficial for the game's open-world environments, where repeated asset access benefits from faster cache hits. The 5800XT's memory support for DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provides sufficient data throughput for the GPU, as the 4K scaling pattern does not show CPU-induced stuttering.

The 5800XT benchmarks show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23794 and a 3DMark max threads score of 7680. The single-thread performance is also competitive, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3359 and a 3DMark single-thread score of 959. These scores place the CPU at the 86th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 29774.

Comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals, the performance deltas are minimal. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is 0.1% behind, while the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS is 0.3% ahead. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is 0.3% behind, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H leads by 0.3%. This tight grouping means the 5800XT's performance in Greedfall is representative of the broader Ryzen 7 class, with no significant CPU-side bottleneck at the tested resolutions.

The CPU's 105 W TDP and Socket AM4 compatibility make it a straightforward upgrade path, and its boost clock of 4.80 GHz is well-suited to the game's single-threaded engine components. The data indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor in Greedfall, as the FPS scaling follows GPU load patterns rather than CPU capacity.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers strong performance across all settings. Low settings produce 191 FPS, Medium hits 150.1 FPS, High achieves 137.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 87.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 103.4 FPS, representing a 54.1% reduction. This wide spread indicates the GPU has ample headroom at 1080p, with even Ultra settings remaining above 60 FPS.

Moving to 1440p, the averages are 131.9 FPS at Low, 103.5 FPS at Medium, 93 FPS at High, and 57.4 FPS at Ultra. The Ultra setting falls below the 60 FPS threshold, marking the first point where the combo struggles to maintain smooth gameplay. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra is 30.2 FPS, a 34.5% decrease.

At 4K, the performance becomes more constrained. Low settings maintain 79.9 FPS, Medium drops to 62.9 FPS, High reaches 53.7 FPS, and Ultra falls to 36.3 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration that dips below 40 FPS, indicating that this setting is not practical for this hardware. The Medium setting at 62.9 FPS is the minimum viable option for 4K gaming, while Low at 79.9 FPS provides a more comfortable margin.

The progression across resolutions shows consistent degradation. At Low settings, the FPS drops from 191 at 1080p to 131.9 at 1440p to 79.9 at 4K, a total reduction of 58.2%. At Ultra, the drop is from 87.6 to 57.4 to 36.3, a 58.6% total reduction. This similar percentage decline across settings suggests the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute units scale linearly with resolution, with no unexpected performance cliffs.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks 857th out of 1705 tested combinations in Greedfall, placing it in the 50.3rd percentile of all combos. This middle-of-the-pack ranking is consistent with the hardware's individual percentile scores: the CPU at 86th percentile and the GPU at 79th percentile. The combo's placement reflects a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically outperforms the other.

The ranking suggests that this combo outperforms the majority of tested systems, but it is not a top-tier configuration. The 857th rank out of 1705 means there are 848 combos that deliver higher average FPS in Greedfall, likely including systems with more powerful GPUs or newer architectures. However, the combo's 1080p High result of 137.6 FPS and 1440p High result of 93 FPS indicate it handles the game's core resolutions well.

The GPU's nearest rivals provide context for the combo's ranking. With the RTX 3080 only 1.3% ahead in average GPU score, the RX 6750 XT's performance in Greedfall is competitive with that higher-tier card. Similarly, the CPU's rivals, such as the Ryzen 7 7840H at 0.3% ahead, show that the 5800XT is not holding back the GPU in this game. The combo rank of 857 suggests that the pairing's overall performance is limited more by the GPU's 79th percentile standing than the CPU's 86th percentile.

The data confirms that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring settings adjustments to maintain playable frame rates. The 4K Ultra result of 36.3 FPS is below the 40 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for a playable experience, while 4K Medium at 62.9 FPS offers a viable alternative. The combo's rank of 857 out of 1705 reflects this capability, placing it in the upper half of tested systems while acknowledging that more powerful combinations exist for higher-resolution gaming.
