Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT combination delivers a playable experience in Greedfall, with benchmark results showing the pairing ranks 1067th out of 1705 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database. The 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 processor provides ample headroom, while the Radeon RX 7600 XT’s 16 GB of GDDR6 memory proves sufficient for the game’s demands, though performance varies significantly across resolution and quality settings.

FAQ

Q: What is the average frame rate at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: The measured average FPS at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings is 73.3, which is the lowest 1080p result but still comfortably above playable thresholds.

Q: What is the FPS difference between 1440p Medium and 1440p High?

A: At 2560x1440, Medium settings average 84.3 FPS, while High settings average 77.2 FPS, a 7.1 FPS difference that suggests diminishing returns from Medium to High.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, is the primary driver of frame rates in Greedfall. Its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves adequate for the game’s textures and assets at all tested resolutions. The GPU’s boost clock of 2755 MHz, with a game clock of 2470 MHz, enables substantial processing throughput, reflected in its 22.57 TFLOPS FP32 performance.

The benchmark data shows that the GPU’s capabilities are most stressed at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS falls to 33. This result indicates that the card’s 64 ROPs and 2048 shading units become the limiting factor under maximum load. Conversely, at 1080p Low, the RX 7600 XT achieves 159.7 FPS, demonstrating that the card has sufficient headroom for less demanding scenarios. The graphics card’s 63rd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20146, places it in the mid-range tier, which aligns with its observed performance in this title.

The 16 GB memory capacity is noteworthy, as it exceeds the requirements of most 2019-era games like Greedfall, which launched on 2019-09-09. The data does not show memory-related stutters or crashes at any settings, suggesting the VRAM allocation is never exhausted. However, the 128-bit memory bus, combined with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth, limits the card’s ability to feed its compute units at high resolutions, contributing to the steep FPS drops observed from 1080p to 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, with the RX 7600 XT showing its strengths at lower pixel counts. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 115.9 at 1080p to 77.2 at 1440p, then to 49.9 at 4K—a total reduction of 66 FPS across the three resolutions. This scaling suggests that the GPU becomes increasingly pixel-bound, with the 4K resolution demanding nearly 4 times the pixel throughput of 1080p.

The Low settings curve shows a similar but more dramatic pattern: 159.7 FPS at 1080p, 111.4 at 1440p, and 65.2 at 4K. The 4K Low result is particularly revealing, as it stays above 60 FPS, indicating that the GPU can handle 4K when the graphical workload is reduced. The gap between 1080p Low and 4K Low is 94.5 FPS, which is proportionally larger than the High settings gap, suggesting that the game engine’s CPU overhead becomes relatively more significant at lower GPU loads.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is steepest: 73.3 FPS at 1080p, 49.8 at 1440p, and 33 at 4K. This represents a 55% drop from 1080p to 4K, confirming that Ultra settings push the RX 7600 XT beyond its comfortable operating range at higher resolutions. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K across all settings, while at 1080p, the CPU’s 8-core configuration is sufficient to keep the pipeline fed, as evidenced by the high frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers playable performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 159.7 FPS, Medium achieves 123.2 FPS, High reaches 115.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 73.3 FPS. The 86.4 FPS gap between Low and Ultra highlights the significant impact of quality presets at this resolution, but even the Ultra result remains above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 111.4 FPS on Low, 84.3 FPS on Medium, 77.2 FPS on High, and 49.8 FPS on Ultra. The Ultra setting at 1440p falls below 60 FPS, indicating that this resolution/settings combination is the first point where the GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates. The 61.6 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is smaller than at 1080p, suggesting a growing GPU limitation.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 65.2 FPS on Low, 52.3 FPS on Medium, 49.9 FPS on High, and 33 FPS on Ultra. Only the Low preset achieves a smooth 60+ FPS experience at 4K. The Medium and High results, while playable, hover near 50 FPS. The Ultra result at 33 FPS is the weakest measured performance, representing a 126.7 FPS drop from the best 1080p result. The progression from Low to Ultra at 4K shows diminishing returns, with the 32.2 FPS gap between Low and Ultra being the largest absolute difference of any resolution tier.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT combination achieves a rank of 1067 out of 1705 tested combos, placing it in the bottom 38% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the mid-range nature of both components, as neither the CPU nor GPU are top-tier performers in their respective categories. The CPU’s 86th percentile ranking among all processors is stronger than the GPU’s 63rd percentile, indicating that the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this pairing.

The combo’s rank suggests that many other systems in the database, likely featuring higher-end GPUs, outperform it in Greedfall. The RX 7600 XT’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 7600, which has an average score of 20258 and is 0.6% faster, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER at 19774, which is 1.9% slower. These small deltas indicate that the RX 7600 XT sits in a tightly contested performance tier, where minor architectural differences translate to modest FPS variations.

Given the game’s 2019 release, the combo’s 1067th rank is not surprising, as newer hardware naturally dominates the database. However, the data shows that this pairing remains viable for Greedfall, especially at 1080p and 1440p with adjusted settings. The 1705 total combos include many high-end systems, so the rank should be interpreted as a relative position rather than an absolute measure of playability.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, based on the Zen 3 architecture and codenamed Vermeer, provides the processing foundation for this combo. With 8 cores and 16 threads, the CPU offers substantial multi-threading capability, reflected in its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23794. The 32 MB of L3 cache and 4.80 GHz boost clock ensure that game logic, AI, and physics calculations are handled without becoming a bottleneck in most scenarios.

The CPU’s single-thread performance, scoring 3359 in Cinebench R23 single-core, is particularly relevant for Greedfall, an Action RPG that relies on single-threaded game loops. The 3.80 GHz base clock maintains consistent performance, while the boost clock of 4.80 GHz provides additional headroom during demanding scenes. The 7 nm process node, with 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die, contributes to efficient power delivery, despite a 105 W TDP.

Benchmark results show the CPU’s 16-thread performance in 3DMark at 7683, with 8-thread performance at 6141, indicating good scaling across cores. The CPU’s nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS with a 0.3% higher average score and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H with a 0.3% lower average score, demonstrate that the 5800XT is competitive with modern mobile and desktop parts. In this combo, the CPU’s 86th percentile ranking means it outperforms most other processors in the database, ensuring that the GPU receives adequate data to render frames efficiently.
