Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination delivers a robust Greedfall experience, with the data showing a clear progression of performance across resolutions and settings. The measured results indicate that the RTX 5060 is the primary driver of frame rates at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s strong multi-threaded capabilities prevent bottlenecks at lower settings. The dataset provides a complete picture of how this pairing handles a 2019 Action RPG, from 1080p High to 4K Ultra, with the combo ranking in the 1639th position out of 3703 tested configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable yet informative scaling pattern across the three target resolutions. At 1080p with High settings, the combo achieves an average of 137 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 reduces this to 95 FPS, a drop of approximately 30.7%. At 3840x2160, the average falls to 57 FPS, representing a further 40% decrease from the 1440p figure and a total reduction of 58.4% from the 1080p baseline. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 5060’s 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and 128-bit bus become increasingly strained as pixel count rises.

The scaling pattern becomes more pronounced when examining the Low preset. At 1080p Low, the system produces 192 FPS on average. This drops to 133 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 30.7%, and then to 79 FPS at 4K, a 40.6% decline from 1440p. The fact that the percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is nearly identical between Low (30.7%) and High (30.7%) settings suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor even at the lower preset. However, the 4K step shows a slightly larger relative drop for Low (40.6%) compared to High (40.0%), which could indicate the CPU is still providing sufficient headroom at the lower preset.

The Medium preset offers the only complete dataset with min and max FPS values. At 1080p Medium, the average is 151 FPS with a minimum of 128 and maximum of 173. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 105 FPS, with min and max values of 89 and 120 respectively. The 4K Medium result shows an average of 62 FPS, with a minimum of 53 and maximum of 72. The min-to-max spread at 4K Medium (53 to 72) is proportionally wider than at 1080p Medium (128 to 173), suggesting that frame pacing becomes less consistent as resolution increases.

The Ultra preset reveals the most dramatic scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 87 FPS, which drops to 61 FPS at 1440p (a 29.9% reduction) and then plummets to 36 FPS at 4K (a 41.0% reduction from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result falls below the 60 FPS threshold commonly considered the minimum for smooth gameplay, indicating that this combination is not suitable for maximum settings at that resolution. The scaling pattern across all presets confirms that the RTX 5060 is the dominant constraint, with the CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads providing ample support at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 130 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is the decisive component in Greedfall’s performance profile. Its 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which directly influences how the card handles the game’s texture and geometry loads at various resolutions. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU’s capabilities are stretched at 4K, particularly on the Ultra preset where the average falls to 36 FPS. The card’s boost clock of 2497 MHz and base clock of 2280 MHz contribute to its compute throughput, with an FP32 rating of 19.18 TFLOPS.

The GPU’s benchmark scores place it in the 72nd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26331. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 860M with a score of 26401 (0.3% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 at 26421 (0.3% higher), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary at 26553 (0.8% higher). The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT trails at 26011, which is 1.2% lower. These close margins suggest the RTX 5060 performs competitively within its class, though the Greedfall results show it is not a high-resolution powerhouse.

The VRAM capacity of 8 GB is a notable constraint. At 4K Ultra, the game likely exceeds this allocation, resulting in the 36 FPS average. The transition from 1440p High (95 FPS) to 4K High (57 FPS) shows a 40% drop, which is consistent with memory bandwidth limitations rather than pure compute restrictions. The GPU’s 30 RT cores and 120 tensor cores are present but Greedfall is not a ray-tracing heavy title, so these features have minimal impact on the measured results. The card’s 48 ROPs and 120 TMUs handle the rasterization workload, with a pixel rate of 119.9 GPixel/s and texture rate of 299.6 GTexel/s.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete dataset provides a detailed view of performance across all resolution and settings combinations. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves the highest average at 192 FPS, followed by Medium at 151 FPS, High at 137 FPS, and Ultra at 87 FPS. The Medium preset is the only one with recorded min and max values at this resolution, showing a range of 128 to 173 FPS. The 87 FPS Ultra result represents a 36.5% reduction from High, demonstrating the significant cost of the Ultra preset’s additional effects.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues with Low at 133 FPS, Medium at 105 FPS, High at 95 FPS, and Ultra at 61 FPS. The Medium preset again provides the only complete range, with a minimum of 89 FPS and maximum of 120 FPS. The Ultra preset at 61 FPS is just above the 60 FPS threshold, making it viable for players who prioritize visual fidelity over headroom. The 40 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution indicates the GPU is still the limiting factor, as the CPU’s 8-core configuration can handle the lower preset’s frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the results show a significant drop-off. Low averages 79 FPS, Medium averages 62 FPS, High averages 57 FPS, and Ultra averages 36 FPS. The Medium preset’s min and max values of 53 and 72 FPS show that even this moderate setting has frame time variance. The 4K High result at 57 FPS is below the 60 FPS target, and 4K Ultra at 36 FPS is barely playable. The gap between Medium (62 FPS) and High (57 FPS) is only 8.1%, while the gap between High and Ultra (36 FPS) is 36.8%, suggesting that Ultra introduces disproportionately heavy effects.
