Greedfall

This combo pairing places the Intel Core i5-13400F with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 at rank 1382 out of 1705 tested combinations for Greedfall. That position puts it in the lower-middle portion of the field, meaning a substantial number of other CPU-GPU pairings deliver higher average frame rates in this title. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component is dramatically holding back the other, but the overall performance ceiling is firmly capped by the GPU's mid-range positioning rather than by CPU limitations.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame value of 1382 out of 1705 indicates the system sits roughly in the 19th percentile of all tested combos for Greedfall. This is not a top-tier setup, but it is far from the bottom of the list. The Intel Core i5-13400F ranks in the 82nd percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25236. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-13620H (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (deltaPct -0.5), AMD EPYC 9474F (deltaPct 0.5), and AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (deltaPct 0.5). These deltas are minuscule, meaning the 13400F's compute performance is virtually indistinguishable from those alternatives in synthetic workloads.

The GPU side shows a similar story. The Radeon RX 6600 holds the 69th percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25235. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 890M (deltaPct 0), AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (deltaPct -0.2), AMD Radeon RX 6700M (deltaPct 0.2), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (deltaPct 0.5). Again, the performance gaps are within a percentage point, so the RX 6600 is effectively trading blows with those parts in general compute. The combination of a mid-80s-percentile CPU with a mid-60s-percentile GPU results in a system that lands where it does in the combo rankings—notable for its consistency but not for breaking records.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 23 chip, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz, which translates to 14 Gbps effective. The base clock is 1626 MHz, the boost clock reaches 2491 MHz, and the game clock is set at 2044 MHz. With 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, the card delivers a pixel rate of 159.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 279.0 GTexel/s. Floating point performance is rated at 8.928 TFLOPS for FP32.

In Greedfall, these specifications translate to a GPU that is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions and settings. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for this 2019 title, which does not push modern memory capacities to their limits. The clock speeds are respectable for the class, and the card's 132 W TDP suggests it runs efficiently. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the RX 6600 pushes 141.6 FPS, but at 4K Ultra it drops to 27.6 FPS. That massive spread is characteristic of a GPU that has enough raw throughput for 1080p gaming but lacks the memory bandwidth and compute density for 4K enthusiast presets.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the system scales across resolutions. At 1080p High, the combo delivers 97.6 FPS. Moving to 1440p High drops that to 68 FPS, a reduction of roughly 30%. At 4K High, the average falls to 39.1 FPS, which is about 60% lower than the 1080p figure. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting component as resolution climbs. The CPU, with its 10 cores and 16 threads boosting to 4.60 GHz, has ample headroom at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 140 FPS on Low settings.

The 4K Low result of 59.7 FPS is telling. Dropping settings to Low at 4K yields a playable frame rate, but the jump from 1080p Low (141.6 FPS) to 4K Low (59.7 FPS) shows a 58% performance loss purely from resolution scaling. Compare that to the 1440p Low figure of 96.2 FPS, which sits between the two extremes. The trend is linear and steep, confirming that pixel throughput is the bottleneck. At 1080p, the CPU can feed the GPU fast enough; at 4K, the GPU's 224.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8.928 TFLOPS compute are simply overwhelmed.

Settings Recommendations

Looking at the measured rows, the best balance of visual quality and frame rate comes at 1080p High settings, where the system averages 97.6 FPS. That is well above the 60 FPS threshold and leaves headroom for dips. At 1440p High, the 68 FPS average is still playable, but it is closer to the edge. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 66.8 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced action. At 1440p Ultra, the average drops to 41.9 FPS, which is borderline for an action RPG.

For a smooth experience, the data points to High settings as the sweet spot. At 1080p High, you get nearly 100 FPS; at 1440p High, you stay above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p gives 111.8 FPS, which is a modest gain over High for a noticeable drop in visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at 4K is not viable at 27.6 FPS. If you must play at 4K, Low settings at 59.7 FPS is the only measured configuration that approaches playability, but the visual compromise is severe. The recommendation is clear: stick to 1080p or 1440p with High settings for the best experience per the measured rows.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest results. Low settings average 141.6 FPS, Medium averages 111.8 FPS, High averages 97.6 FPS, and Ultra averages 66.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 29.8 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 30.8 FPS. This shows diminishing returns as you climb the settings ladder—the biggest absolute gains come from dropping from Ultra to High.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 96.2 FPS on Low, 74.4 FPS on Medium, 68 FPS on High, and 41.9 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Medium is 21.8 FPS, and from High to Ultra it is 26.1 FPS. The 1440p High result of 68 FPS is the same as the 1080p Ultra result of 66.8 FPS, roughly, which suggests that resolution and settings are trading blows in terms of performance cost.

At 3840x2160, the numbers fall off a cliff. Low averages 59.7 FPS, Medium averages 42.5 FPS, High averages 39.1 FPS, and Ultra averages 27.6 FPS. The difference between Medium and High at 4K is only 3.4 FPS, indicating that those two presets are nearly identical in GPU load. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 32.1 FPS, which is substantial but leaves no preset in the playable range except Low. Across all resolutions, the scaling is consistent: each step up in settings costs roughly 10-20% performance, and each step up in resolution costs roughly 30-40%.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo better suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming in Greedfall?

A: The data shows 1080p High at 97.6 FPS and 1440p High at 68 FPS. Both are playable, but 1080p provides a much larger margin above 60 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result of 41.9 FPS is below the playable threshold, so 1080p is the safer choice for consistent performance.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 4K on the same settings?

A: At High settings, the average drops from 97.6 FPS at 1080p to 39.1 FPS at 4K, a 60% reduction. At Low settings, the drop is from 141.6 FPS to 59.7 FPS, a 58% loss. The GPU is clearly the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Q: What is the best preset to use at 1440p for a smooth experience?

A: High settings at 1440p yield 68 FPS, which is the highest preset that stays above 60 FPS. Medium at 74.4 FPS offers a small gain, but High provides the best visual quality while remaining playable. Ultra at 41.9 FPS is not recommended.

Q: Does the CPU hold back the GPU at any resolution?

A: The data does not indicate CPU bottlenecking. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 141.6 FPS, which is a high frame rate for any CPU. The Intel Core i5-13400F has an average benchmark score of 25236, placing it in the 82nd percentile, so it has sufficient headroom for this GPU.

Q: How does the RX 6600 compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RX 6600's average benchmark score is 25235. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon 890M, has a deltaPct of 0, meaning they are statistically identical. The RX 580 2048SP is 0.2% slower, while the RX 6700M and RTX 3060 Ti are 0.2% and 0.5% faster, respectively. These are negligible differences.

Q: Is the 8 GB VRAM sufficient for Greedfall at 4K?

A: The 4K results show 59.7 FPS on Low and 27.6 FPS on Ultra, which suggests VRAM is not the primary constraint—compute and bandwidth are. The card's 224.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8.928 TFLOPS are the limiting factors at 4K, not the 8 GB capacity.
