Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti pairing in Greedfall delivers a clear split between CPU and GPU responsibility. The 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 4 part based on the Raphael architecture, running on the AMD Socket AM5 platform with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. Its large 64 MB shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support give it plenty of headroom for modern game logic. In synthetic workloads, it scores 43,695 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 6,168 in single-core, which places it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. The RTX 3060 Ti, built on the Ampere architecture with 4,864 shading units and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, is the more likely constraint in this game. Its benchmark percentile sits at 69, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6700M and RX 6600, with average score deltas of -0.2% and -0.5% respectively. This means the CPU is far more powerful relative to its peers than the GPU is, which shows up directly in the measured FPS data.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Ryzen 9 7900X brings 12 cores and 24 threads, a configuration that is overkill for a title like Greedfall, which is an Action RPG from 2019 and does not scale heavily across many threads. The CPU's single-thread performance is strong, evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 2,952 and a Passmark single-thread score of 4,238. These numbers matter because Greedfall's game logic and draw call processing rely heavily on a few fast cores rather than the full 24-thread capacity. The CPU's boost clock of 5.60 GHz ensures that those primary threads get maximum throughput, which keeps frame pacing stable even when the GPU is saturated.

The data supports this interpretation. At 1080p Low settings, the combo reaches 149.5 FPS average. Dropping to 1080p Ultra reduces that to 71.2 FPS, a drop of more than half. That magnitude of change is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the CPU is not the limiting factor. The CPU's Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 18,351 and 3DMark max threads score of 12,536 confirm that the processor has far more compute headroom than this game can use. Even the 3DMark 16-thread score of 10,972 is well above what Greedfall would need. In short, the 7900X is not the bottleneck here; it is providing a stable platform for the RTX 3060 Ti to do the heavy lifting.

FAQ — 4-6 Q&A pairs answerable from FACT PACK data

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo to maintain a high frame rate?

A: At 1080p, the combo delivers 149.5 FPS on Low, 117.8 FPS on Medium, and 108.6 FPS on High. For a consistent 100+ FPS experience, 1080p High is the sweet spot, as 1440p High drops to 73 FPS.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more responsible for performance in Greedfall?

A: The GPU is the primary constraint. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 43,695 places it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU's average benchmark score of 25,120 puts it in the 69th percentile. The measured FPS scaling across resolutions confirms this: 1080p Low yields 149.5 FPS, while 4K Low yields 63.4 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 3060 Ti compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RTX 3060 Ti has an average benchmark score of 25,120. Its closest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700M, scores 25,180, a delta of -0.2%. The AMD Radeon RX 6600 scores 25,235, a delta of -0.5%. The performance differences are negligible, under 1% in all cases.

Q: What is the maximum FPS achievable with this combo?

A: The highest measured average FPS is 149.5, which occurs at 1080p with Low settings. The lowest is 31.7 FPS at 4K with Ultra settings.

Q: Does the CPU's 12-core count provide any benefit in this game?

A: Not significantly. The CPU's 3DMark 2-thread score of 2,137 and 4-thread score of 4,151 show strong low-thread performance, which is what Greedfall uses. The 12-core configuration helps in other workloads, but the game's FPS is dictated by the GPU, not core count.

Q: How does the combo rank among all tested configurations?

A: It ranks 1,199 out of 1,705 tested combos, placing it in the lower-mid tier of all possible pairings.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Ryzen 9 7900X and RTX 3060 Ti ranks 1,199 out of 1,705 tested configurations in Greedfall. This is a modest placement, reflecting the GPU's mid-range standing more than the CPU's high-end position. To contextualize, the RTX 3060 Ti's average benchmark score of 25,120 puts it at the 69th percentile of all GPUs, while the 7900X sits at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. The combo rank of 1,199 out of 1,705 means that roughly 70% of tested pairings outperform it, which is consistent with a system where a top-tier processor is paired with a mid-tier graphics card. In practical terms, this rank suggests that the system is well-balanced for 1080p gaming but will struggle at higher resolutions or with maxed-out settings. The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 at a -0.1% delta, do not change this picture, because the GPU is the deciding factor in this game's frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a full picture of how this combo behaves across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 149.5 on Low to 71.2 on Ultra. The intermediate presets are 117.8 on Medium and 108.6 on High. This is a usable range for most displays, with Low and Medium easily exceeding 100 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers drop significantly: Low delivers 107.6 FPS, Medium 81.3 FPS, High 73 FPS, and Ultra 49.6 FPS. At this resolution, only Low maintains a triple-digit average. The 1440p High figure of 73 FPS is still playable but begins to show the GPU's limits. At 3840x2160, the performance falls further: Low yields 63.4 FPS, Medium 49.9 FPS, High 47.1 FPS, and Ultra 31.7 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is below 32 FPS, which is not a smooth experience for an action RPG. The data shows a consistent pattern: the RTX 3060 Ti is the limiting factor at every resolution above 1080p, with the gap between Low and Ultra widening as pixel count increases.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and tells a clear story about which component is the bottleneck. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 149.5 at 1080p to 107.6 at 1440p, then to 63.4 at 4K. That is a 57.6% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the figures are 108.6 (1080p), 73 (1440p), and 47.1 (4K), a drop of 56.6%. The pattern holds for Medium: 117.8 to 81.3 to 49.9, a 57.6% decline. Ultra is the most severe, going from 71.2 to 49.6 to 31.7, a 55.5% reduction. These percentage drops are consistent across all settings, which is the signature of a GPU-bound system. If the CPU were the limiter, the FPS would stay relatively flat as resolution increases, because the CPU workload would remain constant. Instead, the FPS scales inversely with pixel count, meaning the RTX 3060 Ti's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are being saturated. The CPU's 5.60 GHz boost clock and 64 MB L3 cache are not the issue; the GPU's 16.20 TFLOPS FP32 compute is what determines the ceiling.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For the best experience with this combo, the data points to 1080p High as the optimal balance. It delivers 108.6 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, and the visual quality jump from Medium to High is noticeable in an Action RPG with detailed environments. At 1440p, High drops to 73 FPS, which is acceptable but not ideal for fast-paced combat; Medium at 81.3 FPS is a safer choice if you want headroom. The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution: at 1080p it yields 71.2 FPS, at 1440p it falls to 49.6 FPS, and at 4K it drops to 31.7 FPS. The performance cost of Ultra over High is steep, with a 34.4% FPS reduction at 1080p (from 108.6 to 71.2). If you are on a 4K display, Low at 63.4 FPS is the only playable option, and even that is marginal. The data suggests that this pairing is best suited for 1080p gaming, with High or Medium presets offering the most consistent frame rates. For 1440p, Medium is the practical ceiling, and 4K should be avoided unless you accept Low settings and a sub-65 FPS average.
