Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 form a pairing that spans very different hardware generations: a 10th Gen Comet Lake CPU released on 2020-04-29, and an Ada Lovelace GPU released on 2022-09-19. For Greedfall, an Action RPG that launched on 2019-09-09, the database records measured frame rates across three resolutions and four quality presets. The data shows that this combination delivers playable performance at every setting tested, including Ultra at 4K with an average of 60 FPS. The RTX 4080 had a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD, though the focus here is purely on measured performance.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have a set of nearest rivals in the database, and these alternatives would behave almost identically in Greedfall.

The Intel Core i5-10400F has an average benchmark score of 14185 across all CPU tests, placing it in the 68th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, based on average score, are the Intel Xeon 6756E (14163, delta 0.2%), the Intel Core 7 160UL (14232, delta -0.3%), the AMD EPYC 7552 (14115, delta 0.5%), and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C (14277, delta -0.6%). All four are within 0.6% of the i5-10400F's score, meaning that in CPU-bound workloads, they would deliver nearly identical performance. The i5-10400F itself has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. It uses the Comet Lake architecture on a 14 nm process, with 12 MB of shared L3 cache and a dual-channel DDR4 memory interface delivering 42.7 GB/s. For Greedfall, which is not heavily multithreaded, the 6-core configuration is more than sufficient, and any of the listed rivals would yield similar frame rates.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 has an average benchmark score of 54247, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER (54209, delta 0.1%), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54828, delta -1.1%), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698, delta -2.6%), and the AMD Radeon 8060S (55757, delta -2.7%). The RTX 4080 SUPER is essentially a match, with a score just 0.1% lower, while the other three are within 2.7% lower. In practice, all of these GPUs would produce frame rates within a few percent of the RTX 4080 in Greedfall. The RTX 4080 itself is built on a 5 nm process with 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die. It has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock is 2505 MHz, and it features 9728 shading units, 304 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 76 RT cores, and 304 tensor cores. The GPU's raw compute is rated at 48.74 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16. For Greedfall, the GPU is the dominant factor, and any of the listed rivals would offer a nearly identical experience.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's measured results for Greedfall, this specific CPU+GPU combination is ranked 368th out of 3703 tested combos. That rank places it in the top fraction of all systems tested, with only 367 configurations achieving higher overall performance in this game. The rank is derived from the average FPS across all resolutions and settings, and it reflects the combination's ability to maintain high frame rates even at 4K Ultra. The fact that the combo clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every setting and resolution is a strong indicator of its position. The recorded data shows that the i5-10400F does not bottleneck the RTX 4080 to any meaningful degree in Greedfall, allowing the GPU to reach its full potential. The rank of 368 out of 3703 is a robust measure: the vast majority of tested systems fall below this combination, and only a small set of more powerful or better-matched parts achieve higher scores.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database provides measured average FPS for each resolution and preset, with additional minimum and maximum values for Medium settings. The following table summarizes the recorded data:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 94 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 131 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 103 | 88 | 119 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 60 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | High | 157 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 220 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 173 | 147 | 199 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 100 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | High | 226 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 282 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 249 | 212 | 287 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 145 | - | - |

At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 60 at Ultra to 131 at Low. Medium shows a minimum of 88 FPS and a maximum of 119 FPS, indicating a tight frame pacing with only a 31 FPS spread. The Ultra preset hits exactly 60 FPS on average, which is the playable threshold. Dropping to High increases the average to 94 FPS, a substantial improvement for users who want more headroom.

At 2560x1440, the combo is significantly faster. Ultra averages 100 FPS, High reaches 157, Medium averages 173 with a minimum of 147 and a maximum of 199, and Low goes up to 220. The minimum FPS at Medium (147) is still far above the 60 FPS threshold, showing that the system maintains high frame rates even in demanding scenes.

At 1920x1080, the results are extremely high. Ultra averages 145 FPS, High 226, Medium 249 with a minimum of 212 and a maximum of 287, and Low 282. The minimum at Medium is 212 FPS, which is more than triple the playable threshold. These numbers indicate that the i5-10400F and RTX 4080 combination is not stressed at 1080p, and the GPU is likely the limiting factor only at higher resolutions.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Greedfall? The answer is unequivocally yes. The verdict data from the database lists playable settings for each resolution: at 3840x2160, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra averaging 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 100 FPS. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 145 FPS. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and this combo clears it at every resolution and preset. The only borderline case is 4K Ultra, which hits exactly 60 FPS on average, but that still counts as playable. For users who prefer a higher safety margin, dropping to High at 4K yields 94 FPS, which is a comfortable 56% improvement over Ultra. At 1440p and 1080p, even Ultra provides well above 60 FPS, so there is no need to compromise on visual quality. The recorded data confirms that this combination is fully capable of running Greedfall at maximum settings on any of the tested resolutions, with the only caveat being that 4K Ultra sits exactly at the playable line.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra at every resolution tested. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 60 FPS, which meets the playable threshold exactly. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 100 FPS, providing a comfortable margin. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 145 FPS, delivering a very smooth experience. Therefore, users can run Greedfall at maximum settings across all three resolutions without dropping below 60 FPS. For those who want to prioritize even higher frame rates, the data shows that High at 4K yields 94 FPS, and High at 1440p yields 157 FPS, but the verdict confirms that Ultra is already sufficient at every resolution. The recorded measurements indicate that this combination never falls below the playable threshold, making it a reliable choice for Greedfall at any of the tested settings.
