Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 delivers a playable experience only at lower resolutions and settings in Greedfall. The data shows a severe bottleneck caused by the graphics card, which limits the capable 8-core processor. This combo ranks in the bottom 5% of all tested configurations, indicating that the GPU is the primary constraint for achieving higher frame rates.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution to play Greedfall with this hardware combo?

A: The data shows that 1920x1080 is the only resolution where the average frame rate consistently stays above 30 FPS, with a peak of 74.4 FPS on Low settings. At 2560x1440, only the Low preset achieves a playable average at 53.3 FPS, while 3840x2160 results in averages below 31 FPS across all settings.

Q: How does the Ryzen 7 7700's performance compare to its closest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 7 7700 has an average benchmark score of 40468, which places it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs. It is 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H and 0.5% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365, while trailing the Intel Core i9-13905H by 0.6%.

Q: Is the Radeon RX 570's 4 GB VRAM sufficient for Greedfall?

A: The GPU's 4 GB of GDDR5 memory is a limiting factor, particularly at higher settings. The data shows a dramatic performance drop when moving from Medium to Ultra at 1920x1080, with average FPS falling from 57.1 to 32.7, indicating that the memory capacity and bandwidth are insufficient for the highest detail levels.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1920x1080?

A: The measured average FPS at 1920x1080 on Low is 74.4, while on Ultra it drops to 32.7. This represents a decrease of more than half the frame rate, showing that the Ultra preset is not viable for smooth gameplay with this combination.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems in Greedfall?

A: The combined rank for this CPU and GPU configuration is 1620 out of 1705 tested combos. This places it in the bottom 5% of systems, highlighting that the RX 570 significantly underperforms relative to the Ryzen 7 7700's capabilities.

Q: What is the GPU's standing relative to its nearest competitors?

A: The RX 570's average benchmark score is 30158, putting it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs. It is 0.2% behind both the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, and 0.6% behind the NVIDIA Tesla M60.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results indicate that the Low preset at 1920x1080 provides the best overall experience, delivering an average of 74.4 FPS. This is the only configuration that approaches the smooth 60+ FPS threshold, making it the most responsive option for gameplay. The Medium preset at the same resolution is a viable alternative, with an average of 57.1 FPS, offering a balance between visual fidelity and performance.

For users prioritizing visual quality over frame rate, the High preset at 1920x1080 yields 55.1 FPS, which remains playable. However, the data shows that the Ultra preset at any resolution results in averages below 33 FPS, which is generally considered too choppy for an action RPG. At 2560x1440, the Low preset is the only viable option with its 53.3 FPS average; all other settings at this resolution fall below 41 FPS. The 3840x2160 resolution is not recommended, as even the Low preset only achieves a 31 FPS average.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the decisive factor in this combo's performance, acting as a clear bottleneck. Its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s, and the card operates at a base clock of 1168 MHz with a boost clock of 1244 MHz. The GPU's memory runs at 1750 MHz, translating to 7 Gbps effective. The data shows that these specifications are simply not enough to drive Greedfall at higher settings, as the frame rate scales poorly with resolution and quality increases.

The GPU's FP32 performance is 5.095 TFLOPS, and its pixel rate is 39.81 GPixel/s, but these figures do not translate into playable frame rates at 2560x1440 or 3840x2160. The card has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. The 14 nm Polaris 20 chip, with 5,700 million transistors, is from the GCN 4.0 architecture and supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The data indicates that the GPU's capabilities are adequate for 1080p gaming at low-to-medium settings, but the VRAM capacity and raw compute power are insufficient for higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the performance is consistently poor. The Low preset averages 31 FPS, Medium drops to 26.6 FPS, High falls to 19.7 FPS, and Ultra is unplayable at 12.7 FPS. These figures show a linear decline with increasing quality, confirming the GPU is overwhelmed at 4K.

At 2560x1440, the results are more varied. The Low preset achieves a playable 53.3 FPS, Medium drops to 40.5 FPS, High further declines to 33.6 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 23.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 12.8 FPS, while the drop from Medium to High is 6.9 FPS, showing diminishing returns as settings increase.

At 1920x1080, the resolution shows the most potential. The Low preset delivers a smooth 74.4 FPS, Medium follows at 57.1 FPS, and High is close behind at 55.1 FPS. The Ultra preset, however, falls dramatically to 32.7 FPS, a 22.4 FPS drop from High. This sharp decline suggests that the Ultra settings tax the 4 GB VRAM beyond its capacity, causing a significant performance hit. The data shows that the sweet spot for this combo is 1080p with either Low or Medium settings, where the frame rate remains above 57 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 + AMD Radeon RX 570 combination ranks 1620 out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the bottom 5% of all configurations, a poor result that underscores the significant imbalance between the CPU and GPU. The processor is a high-end part, scoring 40468 in average benchmarks and sitting in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, while the graphics card is a much older, entry-level component in the 74th percentile of all GPUs.

This pairing creates a situation where the CPU's potential is largely wasted. The Ryzen 7 7700's strong scores in tests like Cinebench R23 multicore (29302) and single-core (4136) indicate it can handle demanding workloads, but the RX 570 is unable to feed it enough frames. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor in every measured scenario, as the frame rates are consistently low even at 1920x1080. The combo's rank of 1620 suggests that nearly all other tested systems, including those with less powerful CPUs but more balanced GPUs, achieve better performance in this game. The result is a configuration that is only suitable for low-resolution, low-detail gaming, and it cannot take advantage of the Ryzen 7 7700's processing power.
