Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER delivers a measured performance profile in Greedfall that is heavily influenced by resolution and graphics preset. The data, collected across three resolutions and four settings, shows a system that can handle 1080p with ease but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K. The CPU, an 8-core 16-thread Zen 4 part, and the GPU, a Turing-based card with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, combine to produce a combo that ranks 1205 out of 1705 tested configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS values reveal a clear pattern: as resolution increases, average frame rates drop consistently across all settings. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 111.6 at 1920x1080 to 77.3 at 2560x1440, and then to 46.7 at 3840x2160. The same trend appears at Low, Medium, and Ultra presets. For example, Low settings yield 152.9 at 1080p, 103.1 at 1440p, and 63.3 at 4K. Medium produces 117.4, 81.5, and 48.5 respectively, while Ultra drops from 72 at 1080p to 45.9 at 1440p and 30.2 at 4K.

This scaling indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The RTX 2060 SUPER’s 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 compute are sufficient for 1080p, where the CPU’s strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 singlecore score of 4136) allows high frame rates. However, at 4K, the GPU’s workload increases dramatically, and the average FPS falls below 60 for all settings except Low. The fact that even Low settings at 4K only reach 63.3 FPS suggests that the GPU is saturated, while the CPU has headroom to spare.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a desktop processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael) using a 5 nm process. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The L3 cache is 32 MB shared, and the CPU supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus. Its TDP is 65 W, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 40468, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs. In Cinebench R23, it scores 29302 in multicore and 4136 in singlecore, indicating strong performance in both threaded and lightly threaded workloads.

In Greedfall, the CPU’s high single-thread performance is likely a key factor in achieving high frame rates at 1080p. The measured 152.9 FPS at Low settings suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck at that resolution. However, as resolution increases, the GPU becomes the limiting component, and the CPU’s role diminishes. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (0.5), Intel Core i9-13905H (-0.6), and Intel Core Ultra 5 235T (1.2). These small deltas indicate that the Ryzen 7 7700 is competitive with other high-end processors. The launch MSRP for this CPU is $329.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values for the combo.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 46.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 63.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 48.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 30.2 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 77.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 103.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 81.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 45.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 111.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 152.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 117.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 72 |

At 1080p, all settings except Ultra exceed 100 FPS, with Low reaching 152.9. Medium and High are close, at 117.4 and 111.6 respectively, while Ultra drops to 72. At 1440p, Low remains above 100 (103.1), Medium and High are in the 77–82 range, and Ultra falls to 45.9. At 4K, only Low stays above 60 (63.3); Medium and High are in the 46–49 range, and Ultra is 30.2. The GPU’s launch MSRP is 399 USD.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1205 out of 1705 tested configurations, placing it in the lower half of the field. This is notable because the CPU is in the 91st percentile and the GPU is in the 63rd percentile. The discrepancy suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor in Greedfall, dragging the overall combo rank down. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 19774 is only 0.5% higher than the RTX 2070, and its nearest rivals include the GTX TITAN (0.3% lower), Quadro K5200 (0.8% lower), and Tesla K40m (1.3% lower). While the GPU is not weak, the game’s demands at higher resolutions appear to exceed its capabilities, especially when paired with a CPU that could otherwise support higher frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution. For 1080p, High or Medium provide excellent frame rates (111.6 and 117.4) with minimal visual difference, while Ultra is still playable at 72. Low is unnecessary unless targeting very high refresh rates. At 1440p, High gives 77.3 FPS, which is suitable for most displays, and Medium is slightly higher at 81.5. Low reaches 103.1, but Ultra drops to 45.9, so Ultra should be avoided. For 4K, only Low achieves above 60 FPS (63.3), making it the only viable preset for smooth gameplay. Medium and High are in the 40s, and Ultra is 30.2. The data suggests that High at 1440p offers a good balance between visual quality and frame rate, while 4K users should stick to Low to maintain playability.
