Greedfall

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination in Greedfall shows a clear progression of performance across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers strong frame rates across every setting level, with the Low preset hitting an average of 181 FPS, Medium at 141.4 FPS, and High at 131.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution is the most demanding, yet still produces a very playable average of 81.1 FPS. This indicates that at 1080p, the system has substantial headroom for smooth gameplay regardless of visual fidelity.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains respectable but begins to show the expected scaling cost. The Low preset averages 125.2 FPS, Medium drops to 96.4 FPS, and High settles at 88.5 FPS. At Ultra, the combo just clears the 60 FPS threshold with an average of 60.2 FPS, making it the boundary setting for 1440p playability. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is roughly 65 FPS, which highlights the significant impact of the Ultra preset on the GPU load.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes considerably. The Low preset still manages a comfortable 73 FPS average, but Medium falls to 58.7 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable mark. High averages 53.4 FPS, and Ultra drops sharply to 33.1 FPS, nearly half the frame rate of the Low setting. The data shows that at 4K, only the Low preset consistently maintains the playable threshold, and the Ultra preset represents a major performance hit that is difficult for this hardware to absorb.

A: The lowest average FPS recorded is 33.1 FPS at 3840x2160 with the Ultra preset, which is the most demanding combination of resolution and settings in the measured data.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this specific CPU and GPU pairing at rank 1993 out of 3703 tested combinations for Greedfall. This position places it in the lower-mid tier of all possible system configurations, meaning it outperforms a majority of tested combos but is far from the top performers. The rank reflects a balanced pairing where neither component is dramatically overqualified for the other, and the measured FPS data confirms that the system is capable of running the game at 1080p and 1440p with appropriate settings, while struggling at 4K with demanding presets.

The percentile data for the individual components shows the CPU sits at the 68th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU is at the 61st percentile among all tested graphics cards. This suggests the CPU is slightly stronger relative to its peers than the GPU, but both are within a similar performance band. The combo rank of 1993 out of 3703 indicates that many other pairings deliver better results, but there are also a substantial number of weaker configurations, so this system is not an outlier on either end of the spectrum.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Intel Core i5-10400F has an average benchmark score of 14185, which is very close to several other processors. The Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, only 0.2% lower, while the AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, slightly behind at 0.5% lower. On the other side, the Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, about 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, roughly 0.6% higher. These differences are negligible in real-world gaming, so any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Greedfall when paired with the same GPU.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 17639. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, which is 0.2% higher, making it essentially a performance twin. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, about 0.3% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, 0.5% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, which is 0.7% below the RTX 4060. These delta percentages are all within a single percentage point, so swapping in any of these GPUs would yield nearly indistinguishable FPS results in Greedfall, assuming the rest of the system remains unchanged.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the balance of CPU and GPU workload shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high across all presets, with the Low preset reaching 181 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU sufficiently at this resolution. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 99.9 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the primary limiter when visual settings are increased, since the resolution remains constant.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates across presets follow a similar pattern but at lower absolute values: Low at 125.2 FPS down to Ultra at 60.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 65 FPS, which is smaller than at 1080p but still substantial. This indicates that the GPU is increasingly stressed as resolution rises, while the CPU continues to keep up with the demands of the game engine.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops more sharply, with Low at 73 FPS and Ultra at 33.1 FPS, a gap of 39.9 FPS. The relatively smaller absolute difference between presets at 4K compared to lower resolutions suggests that the GPU is becoming the dominant bottleneck, as the pixel throughput demands outweigh the settings-based effects. The CPU's role becomes less impactful at higher resolutions, while the GPU's raw rendering capacity determines the achievable frame rate. Overall, the data shows that this combo is GPU-limited at 1440p and above, while at 1080p the CPU still has enough headroom to allow the GPU to be the main performance driver.

The Verdict

Based on the recorded data, this PC can run Greedfall at playable frame rates in most scenarios. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, with the Ultra preset averaging 81.1 FPS, so players can enjoy the game at maximum visual quality without performance concerns. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear 60 FPS, with Ultra at 60.2 FPS, meaning the system handles 1440p across the board, though Ultra offers only marginal headroom above the playable line.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more constrained. Only the Low preset averages above 60 FPS, at 73 FPS, while Medium sits at 58.7 FPS, High at 53.4 FPS, and Ultra at 33.1 FPS. Therefore, the system is viable for 4K gaming only if the player is willing to use the Low preset. For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the database identifies Low as the best setting at 4K, Ultra at 1440p, and Ultra at 1080p. This hardware combination is a capable choice for Greedfall, delivering smooth gameplay at mainstream resolutions, with the caveat that 4K requires significant settings compromises.
