Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT pairing delivers a solid, if not spectacular, 1080p experience in Greedfall, with the GPU clearly acting as the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The combination ranks in the 1083rd position out of 1705 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database. This rank reflects a system that can handle the game comfortably at 1080p with high settings, but struggles to maintain smooth frame rates when pushing toward 4K with maximum visual fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

The 1083rd rank out of 1705 combos places this system in the 36th percentile of tested configurations for Greedfall. This is a mid-pack result that aligns with the hardware's individual standings: the Ryzen 7 7700 is a strong performer in the 91st percentile of CPUs, while the RX 6650 XT sits lower at the 72nd percentile of GPUs. The combination's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU, which is the limiting factor in this pairing.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 7700's average score of 40,468 is virtually identical to the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, which sits just 0.1% behind. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 trails by 0.5%, while the Intel Core i9-13905H is 0.6% ahead. This indicates the CPU is competitive with high-end mobile processors, though it does not dominate them. For the GPU, the RX 6650 XT's average score of 29,024 is essentially tied with the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, which shows a 0% delta. The AMD Radeon RX 470 is 0.1% ahead, and the Intel Arc A370M is 0.5% behind, while the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH is 0.6% behind.

These close margins suggest that the GPU is performing at a level consistent with other mid-range options, but it lacks the headroom needed to push this combo significantly higher in the rankings. The data indicates that Greedfall is more GPU-bound than CPU-bound, as evidenced by the significant frame rate drops when increasing resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear trend: performance scales inversely with resolution, and the GPU becomes the dominant constraint at higher pixel counts. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo achieves 112.1 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 drops the average to 80.1 FPS, a 28.6% reduction. Jumping to 3840x2160 further reduces the average to 45 FPS, a 59.9% reduction from the 1080p baseline.

This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, has ample processing power to handle the game's logic at these frame rates. The bottleneck shifts to the GPU's rendering capabilities, particularly its 8 GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory bus. At 4K, the Ultra preset yields just 30.2 FPS, which is barely playable, while even Low settings at 4K only reach 66.4 FPS.

The resolution scaling also highlights the GPU's limitations with memory bandwidth. The RX 6650 XT's 280.3 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but becomes strained at 4K, where texture data demands more throughput. The frame rate drops between 1080p and 1440p are less severe than the drops between 1440p and 4K, further confirming that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers strong performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 160 FPS, Medium reaches 122.9 FPS, High achieves 112.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 74.6 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is modest, but the jump to Ultra costs 48.3 FPS from the Medium result, indicating a significant performance hit for the highest visual quality.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain playable but show more variance. Low settings average 111.8 FPS, Medium drops to 87.9 FPS, High delivers 80.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 48.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is noticeably less fluid than High, with a 32 FPS difference between the two settings.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low settings average 66.4 FPS, Medium achieves 49 FPS, High drops to 45 FPS, and Ultra tumbles to 30.2 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is below the 60 FPS threshold typically considered smooth, and even Medium settings hover near the edge of playability. The data shows that 4K gaming with this setup requires sacrificing visual quality to achieve acceptable performance.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT plays a decisive role in this combo's Greedfall performance. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, the GPU offers 280.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's clock speeds are notable: a base clock of 2055 MHz, a game clock of 2410 MHz, and a boost clock of 2635 MHz. These clocks contribute to a pixel rate of 168.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 337.3 GTexel/s.

The GPU's FP32 performance of 10.79 TFLOPS reflects its mid-range positioning. The VRAM capacity of 8 GB is adequate for 1080p and 1440p in Greedfall, but the 4K results suggest that memory capacity and bandwidth become limiting factors. The 4K Ultra result of 30.2 FPS indicates the GPU is struggling to process the increased pixel count and texture data, even with the boost clock active.

The GPU's transistor count of 11,060 million and die size of 237 mm² on a 7 nm process are consistent with its RDNA 2.0 architecture. The 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs provide the raw computational power needed for the game at lower resolutions. However, the 128-bit memory interface is a notable constraint at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the significant frame rate drops when moving from 1440p to 4K.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 72 places it below the CPU's 91st percentile, confirming that the graphics card is the weaker component in this pairing. The nearest rival data shows the RX 6650 XT is closely matched with the RX 6800M, which suggests that the GPU's performance is consistent with other mid-range offerings. The combination of 8 GB VRAM and the 128-bit bus is sufficient for 1080p gaming but limits the system's ability to handle Greedfall at 4K with high settings.
