Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-12600KF paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 lands at rank 1358 out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the lower-mid tier of the database. This position reflects a combination that delivers playable frame rates at mainstream resolutions but struggles to maintain high performance at 4K with maximum settings. The pairing is not a top contender, yet it provides a consistent experience that aligns with its hardware tier.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1358 out of 1705 tested configurations places it in the 21st percentile among all recorded pairings for Greedfall. This is a modest standing, indicating that roughly four out of five tested combos deliver higher average frame rates. The data shows this pairing is outclassed by a significant portion of the field, particularly at higher resolutions and quality presets. However, the rank is not a measure of failure; it simply positions this specific CPU-GPU match as a mid-pack performer. The gap to the top is substantial, but the combo still offers a functional experience for gamers targeting 1080p. The percentile ranking suggests that while the hardware is capable, it does not excel in this specific title compared to more powerful or better-matched components. The measured data confirms that the bottleneck is primarily the GPU, as the CPU’s strong synthetic scores do not translate into top-tier gaming results when paired with this mid-range graphics card.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. Its 20 MB of shared L3 cache and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory make it a versatile desktop part. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU achieves a 3DMark max-thread score of 7952 and a single-thread score of 1016, while Cinebench R23 results show 23444 multi-core and 3309 single-core points. The Geekbench multi-core score is 12373, with a single-core score of 2529. These numbers place the CPU in the 84th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 27827. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-10900K, which scores 27829 with a 0% delta, and the Intel Core i5-12600K, which scores 27851 with a -0.1% delta. For Greedfall, the CPU’s role is primarily to feed the GPU with data; the high single-thread performance is relevant for this Action RPG’s game logic, but the multi-core headroom is less critical. The data suggests the CPU is not the limiting factor in this pairing. With a PassMark multithread score of 27575 and a single-thread score of 3925, the processor provides ample compute power. In practice, the CPU’s strong performance ensures that frame rates are dictated by the GPU, especially at higher settings where the graphics card’s workload increases. The 125 W TDP and unlocked multiplier indicate a part designed for performance, and the benchmark results confirm it delivers, though the gaming outcome is capped by the graphics solution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 23 chip, manufactured on a 7 nm process. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1626 MHz, with a boost clock of 2491 MHz and a game clock of 2044 MHz. Its shading units number 1792, with 112 texture mapping units and 64 render output units. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, and its compute capabilities are reflected in a PassMark G3D score of 15096 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 80492. The GPU sits in the 69th percentile among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 25235. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 890M, which scores 25246 with a 0% delta, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which scores 25120 with a 0.5% delta. In Greedfall, the RX 6600’s 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the card’s compute throughput of 8.928 TFLOPS limits its ability to handle 4K Ultra settings. The memory bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s is a moderate figure, and the data shows that the GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates at 3840x2160. The card’s end-of-life production status and 132 W TDP indicate a mid-range solution that is outmatched by higher-tier options. The benchmark scores highlight that while the GPU is competent for its class, it is not designed for extreme resolutions or maximum quality presets in demanding titles like Greedfall.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers strong results across all settings. With Low settings, the average frame rate is 139.3 FPS, which is highly playable. Medium settings yield 111.2 FPS, and High settings produce 102.3 FPS, both of which are smooth experiences. Ultra settings drop the average to 67.1 FPS, which remains playable but shows a significant performance cost for maximum quality. At 2560x1440, the data shows a similar trend. Low settings average 93.3 FPS, Medium settings average 76 FPS, and High settings average 66.8 FPS. Ultra settings at this resolution fall to 44 FPS, which is below the ideal threshold for fast-paced action but still functional. At 3840x2160, the combo’s limitations become apparent. Low settings average 59.1 FPS, which is borderline playable. Medium settings drop to 46.3 FPS, and High settings fall to 38.9 FPS. Ultra settings at 4K produce an average of 28.7 FPS, which is not a smooth experience and indicates the GPU is overwhelmed. The frame rate scaling across resolutions shows a clear pattern: the RX 6600 is well-suited for 1080p, adequate for 1440p, and not viable for 4K beyond Low settings. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a 33% drop in performance at High settings, while the jump to 4K causes a 62% drop from the 1440p High figure. These numbers underscore the GPU’s memory and bandwidth constraints.
