Greedfall

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers strong frame rates across all tested presets. The Low preset produces an average of 139.8 FPS, while Medium reaches 109.8 FPS and High lands at 100.4 FPS. The most demanding option, Ultra, still clears the playable threshold with an average of 65.7 FPS. This means even the heaviest settings remain comfortably above 60 FPS at 4K, though the gap between High and Ultra is notable: a drop from 100.4 FPS to 65.7 FPS represents roughly a 35% performance cost for the highest preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same combination shows significant headroom. Low settings produce 232.8 FPS on average, Medium follows at 185.4 FPS, and High reaches 164.9 FPS. Ultra again takes the largest toll, but still averages 108.6 FPS. The scaling from 4K to 1440p is consistent: at High settings, the jump from 100.4 FPS to 164.9 FPS shows that resolution strongly influences load, and the RTX 5080 has ample capacity at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates become exceptionally high. Low settings average 330.8 FPS, Medium reaches 263.9 FPS, and High delivers 243.7 FPS. Ultra remains playable at 152.5 FPS. This pattern indicates that at 1080p, the CPU becomes a more relevant factor, as the GPU is not the sole bottleneck. The recorded data shows no minimum or maximum frame values, so the analysis relies entirely on average FPS, which still gives a clear picture of performance headroom.

Across all resolutions and presets, every measured configuration exceeds 60 FPS. The lowest recorded average is 65.7 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is still above the playable threshold. The highest is 330.8 FPS at 1080p Low. This spread shows that the combination is versatile: it can target high refresh rates at lower resolutions or prioritize visual fidelity at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Greedfall, this pairing of Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 ranks 203rd out of 3703 recorded combos. That places it in the top 5.5% of all tested systems for this game. The percentile data for the CPU shows it sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU ranks at the 87th percentile among all GPUs. This suggests the graphics card carries more weight in this ranking than the processor.

The combo rank of 203 out of 3703 indicates that many systems outperform it, but the vast majority do not. Given that the CPU is a mid-range 11th Gen part and the GPU is a high-end 50-series card, the overall standing reflects the GPU's strength. The benchmark results show that at 4K Ultra, the system still averages 65.7 FPS, which is a demanding scenario for any hardware. Systems ranked higher likely pair the RTX 5080 with stronger processors, but the data confirms this combo is far from a weak link.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 17177 places it near several rivals with similar aggregate performance. Its percentile of 71 means it outperforms roughly 71% of all CPUs in the database. The GPU's average benchmark score of 56083 and 87th percentile show even stronger standing. Together, these components form a system that sits well above the median tested combination for Greedfall.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Intel Core i5-11400F is closely matched by several processors. The AMD EPYC 7H12 scores 17120, which is only 0.3% lower than the i5-11400F's average benchmark score of 17177. The Intel Core i5-12450H scores 17239, a 0.4% difference. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 17278, 0.6% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 7 164U scores 17074, 0.6% lower. These deltas are all under 1%, meaning 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 5080 has equally close neighbors. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, which is 0.6% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698, 0.7% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, 2.3% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 57367, which is 2.2% higher. These differences are small enough that swapping to any of these GPUs would yield similar FPS in Greedfall, though the exact rankings could shift slightly.

What this means in practice: if a user already owns one of these rival CPUs or GPUs, the performance in Greedfall would be nearly indistinguishable from the tested combo. The largest delta among the closest rivals is 2.3%, which translates to roughly 2-3 FPS at 4K Ultra and 3-5 FPS at 1080p Low. The measured results would remain above 60 FPS in all cases.

The Verdict

This PC can run Greedfall at every tested resolution and preset combination. At 3840x2160, all four settings clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 65.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 108.6 FPS, and at 1920x1080, Ultra averages 152.5 FPS. The verdict data confirms that playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra for all three resolutions.

The weakest point is 4K Ultra at 65.7 FPS, which still passes the 60 FPS threshold but leaves little margin. For players who want a comfortable buffer above 60 FPS at 4K, dropping to High settings raises the average to 100.4 FPS, a substantial improvement. At 1440p and 1080p, even Ultra settings provide ample headroom, so no compromise is necessary.

The recorded data shows no resolution or preset where the system falls below the playable threshold. This is a decisive result: the combination is fully capable of running Greedfall at maximum settings across all common display resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between components. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high across all presets, from 152.5 FPS at Ultra to 330.8 FPS at Low. The GPU is not fully utilized at this resolution in many scenarios, so the CPU's single-thread and multi-thread performance becomes more relevant. The i5-11400F has a boost clock of 4.40 GHz and a single-thread 3DMark score of 868, which is adequate for these frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on more responsibility. The drop from 1080p High (243.7 FPS) to 1440p High (164.9 FPS) is 78.8 FPS, a 32% reduction. This is larger than the drop from 1440p High to 4K High (164.9 FPS to 100.4 FPS, a 39% reduction), indicating that resolution scaling is not linear but consistently steep. The RTX 5080's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth support these high resolution frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The 4K Ultra result of 65.7 FPS versus 1080p Ultra of 152.5 FPS shows a 57% performance reduction, which aligns with the massive pixel count increase. The CPU's role at 4K is diminished because the GPU is the bottleneck. The data shows that the CPU and GPU contributions vary by resolution: the CPU matters more at 1080p, while the GPU dominates at 4K. The RTX 5080's 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 879.3 GTexel/s texture rate provide the raw throughput needed for 4K rendering.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 65.7 FPS. This is the only 4K preset that approaches the threshold, so it is the recommended setting for maximum visual quality while maintaining playability. Players who prefer higher frame rates can choose High at 100.4 FPS, but Ultra is the best setting that still qualifies.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best setting, averaging 108.6 FPS. This provides both high visual fidelity and a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. The next option, High at 164.9 FPS, is available for those who want smoother motion, but Ultra is the most demanding preset that clears the threshold with room to spare.

At 1920x1080, Ultra again is the best setting, with an average of 152.5 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold and leaves substantial headroom for any future driver overhead or background processes. The recorded data shows that at every resolution, Ultra is the best setting that maintains at least 60 FPS, making the choice straightforward: the system can handle maximum quality at all tested resolutions.

The verdict data confirms these recommendations: the best settings are Ultra for all three resolutions, with average FPS of 65.7 at 4K, 108.6 at 1440p, and 152.5 at 1080p. No other preset offers better fidelity while staying above the playable threshold. The Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination delivers a complete Greedfall experience at maximum settings.
