How This Combo Ranks

The data places this pairing at position 1131 out of 1705 tested combinations in Greedfall. That is a decisive lower-half result, suggesting the system is not optimized for this title's demands. The rank implies that roughly two-thirds of tested combos outperform it. The CPU's 93rd percentile standing among all processors contrasts sharply with the GPU's 63rd percentile, hinting at an imbalance where the graphics card likely constrains overall frame delivery. The i7-13700K's synthetic scores — Cinebench R23 multicore at 39000 and single-core at 5505 — demonstrate substantial headroom, yet the combo rank reveals that raw CPU capability does not translate into top-tier gaming performance here. The deltaPct values against the closest CPU rivals are all within half a percent, meaning the processor is not the differentiator in this ranking. Instead, the RX 7600's position relative to its peers — notably trailing the RTX 3070 Mobile by 1.3% in average GPU score — appears more influential. The rank suggests that for Greedfall specifically, the combination falls into a mid-pack zone where neither component dominates, and the measured FPS data will clarify which part becomes the bottleneck at various settings.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with a 128-bit bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its boost clock reaches 2655 MHz, with a game clock of 2250 MHz and a base of 1720 MHz. The GPU's 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs define its pixel throughput at 169.9 GPixel/s and texture rate at 339.8 GTexel/s. In Greedfall, the VRAM capacity becomes relevant when comparing 4K results: at 3840x2160 Ultra, the average FPS collapses to 30.1, while High settings at the same resolution only reach 47.9 FPS. The 8 GB frame buffer likely approaches saturation at 4K Ultra, explaining the steep performance cliff. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 16634 places it in the 63rd percentile, and its nearest rival — the RX 7600 XT — is only 0.6% behind in average score, indicating the 7600 is near the top of its immediate performance class. The FP32 compute of 21.75 TFLOPS provides a baseline for shader work, but the memory bandwidth appears to be a limiting factor at higher resolutions. The data shows that dropping from 4K High to 4K Low improves FPS from 47.9 to 60.6, a 26.5% gain, which suggests that memory pressure and shader load both scale with settings. The GPU's 63rd percentile ranking versus all GPUs means it is a mid-range part, and the measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (72.2) versus 1080p Low (154.3) underscores that the GPU is the primary constraint as settings rise.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RX 7600 delivers 154.3 FPS on Low, 120.5 on Medium, 109.7 on High, and 72.2 on Ultra. The step from High to Ultra costs 37.5 FPS, a 34.2% reduction, indicating that Ultra settings impose a heavy shader and memory load. At 2560x1440, the numbers drop to 108.3 (Low), 84.1 (Medium), 78.2 (High), and 48.8 (Ultra). The 1440p to 4K transition is severe: at 3840x2160, Low yields 60.6 FPS, Medium 52.4, High 47.9, and Ultra falls to 30.1. The gap between 1440p High (78.2) and 4K High (47.9) is 30.3 FPS, a 38.7% decline, which is a larger relative drop than the pixel count increase alone would predict — suggesting that the GPU's 288.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes a bottleneck at 4K. The Ultra preset at 4K produces a barely playable 30.1 FPS, while the same preset at 1080p achieves 72.2, showing that resolution scaling disproportionately affects the highest settings. The data reveals a consistent pattern: Low settings at 1440p (108.3 FPS) outperform High settings at 1080p (109.7 FPS) by a negligible margin, proving that resolution matters less than preset choice for this GPU. The 4K Low result of 60.6 FPS is the only 4K row that clears the 60 FPS threshold, and it does so by just 0.6 FPS, indicating that 4K gaming is only viable on minimal settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a 16-core, 24-thread processor with Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process. Its boost clock of 5.40 GHz and single-core Cinebench R23 score of 5505 indicate strong per-thread performance, while the multicore score of 39000 shows massive parallel throughput. In Greedfall, the CPU's role is likely secondary at 1080p, where the GPU produces 154.3 FPS on Low — a frame rate that would stress CPU draw-call handling, but the i7-13700K's 3DMark single-thread score of 1136 and PassMark single-thread of 4333 suggest it can keep up. The CPU's 3DMark 2-thread score of 2262 and 4-thread score of 4469 demonstrate that even low-thread-count workloads are handled efficiently. The 30 MB of shared L3 cache helps with game asset streaming, and the 2 MB L2 per core provides fast access for frequently used data. The combo's 1131st rank out of 1705, despite the CPU's 93rd percentile standing, implies that the processor is not the limiting factor in most scenarios. The deltaPct against the nearest CPU rivals — all within 0.5% — confirms that swapping to a similar-tier CPU would not change gaming results meaningfully. The measured FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K (154.3 to 60.6 on Low) shows a 60.7% drop, which is far too large to be CPU-bound; a CPU limitation would show a smaller FPS delta across resolutions. The CPU's PassMark multithread score of 45887 and Geekbench multicore of 17731 provide headroom for background tasks, but in Greedfall, the GPU is the clear performance ceiling at all settings above Low.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data indicates that the High preset at 1080p (109.7 FPS) offers the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate, staying well above the 60 FPS threshold while delivering the game's intended graphical quality. The Medium preset at 1440p (84.1 FPS) is also viable for users prioritizing resolution over detail. At 4K, the Low preset (60.6 FPS) is the only playable option, but it barely clears 60 FPS and forces substantial visual compromises. The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution: at 1080p it drops to 72.2 FPS (34% below High), at 1440p it plunges to 48.8, and at 4K it reaches only 30.1. The step from High to Ultra at 1080p costs 37.5 FPS, yet the visual difference in an Action RPG context is typically marginal — the data suggests Ultra is a luxury setting that this GPU cannot afford at playable frame rates. For a smooth experience, the High preset at 1080p or 1440p is the sweet spot, with Medium as a fallback for higher resolutions. The 4K results are all below 61 FPS, so users with 4K displays should either accept Low settings or step down to 1440p. The recommendation from the data is clear: prioritize High or Medium presets over resolution increases, as the FPS penalty for Ultra is disproportionately severe across all three resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K at each setting reveals the GPU-bound nature of this combo. On Low settings, the average FPS goes from 154.3 (1080p) to 108.3 (1440p) to 60.6 (4K) — a 60.7% total drop from 1080p to 4K. On High settings, the numbers are 109.7, 78.2, and 47.9, a 56.3% decline. Ultra settings show the steepest relative fall: 72.2, 48.8, and 30.1, a 58.3% reduction. The pixel count from 1080p to 4K is exactly 4x, so a perfectly scaling GPU would see FPS drop to 25% of the original. Instead, the Low preset drops to 39.3% of its 1080p value, and High drops to 43.7%, meaning the GPU is not purely pixel-bound — other factors like memory bandwidth and shader efficiency mitigate the scaling. The 288.0 GB/s bandwidth is spread across more pixels at 4K, and the 8 GB VRAM may cause texture thrashing at Ultra settings. The fact that 4K Ultra (30.1 FPS) is less than half of 1080p Ultra (72.2) — a 58.3% drop — suggests that the 4K Ultra preset exceeds the GPU's memory capacity or bandwidth limit. Conversely, the 1440p to 4K drop on Low (108.3 to 60.6, a 44.1% decline) is less severe than 1080p to 1440p (154.3 to 108.3, a 29.8% decline), indicating the GPU handles the 1440p to 4K jump with relative efficiency at minimal settings. The data implies that the RX 7600 is most comfortable at 1080p and 1440p, where it can maintain high frame rates at High settings, while 4K is only feasible at Low — and even then, 60.6 FPS is a borderline result. The CPU's consistent performance across resolutions confirms it is not the scaling bottleneck; the GPU's bandwidth and VRAM are the primary constraints at higher pixel counts.
