Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a strong performance profile for Greedfall, placing the combination at rank 1058 out of 3703 tested combos. The CPU sits at the 77th percentile among all processors with an average benchmark score of 25292, while the GPU lands at the 68th percentile with an average score of 23172. This hardware pairing is not the absolute top tier, but it is clearly positioned in the upper-mid range, and the measured frame rates confirm that it handles this Action RPG with substantial headroom at most settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i5-13400F’s average benchmark score of 25292 places it within a tight cluster of comparable processors. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS scores 25284, a delta of 0%, meaning the two are effectively indistinguishable in synthetic multi-threaded workloads. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D both score 25362 and 25365 respectively, with deltas of -0.3%, indicating they are marginally slower by less than a third of a percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25201, which is 0.4% ahead of the i5-13400F. For gaming purposes, swapping between these four CPUs would yield no perceptible difference in Greedfall’s frame rates, as their compute performance is statistically identical.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080’s average score of 23172 is closely matched by several unexpected rivals. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, a -0.3% delta, making it a near-identical performer in the aggregate benchmarks used here. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 (23250, -0.3%) and the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (23273, -0.4%) also fall within the same performance band. The AMD Radeon R9 M290X scores 23276, -0.4% relative to the RTX 3080. While these cards differ significantly in features and driver maturity, the raw average scores suggest that in Greedfall, users with any of these GPUs would experience very similar average frame rates at the same settings, though the RTX 3080’s 10 GB GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth give it an edge in texture-heavy scenes that these aggregate scores do not capture.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3703 tested CPU-GPU combinations, this pairing of the i5-13400F and RTX 3080 ranks 1058th specifically for Greedfall. That places it in the top 28.6% of all tested combos, which is a solid showing for a mainstream 13th-gen processor with a previous-generation high-end graphics card. The rank reflects the game’s engine behavior: Greedfall is not exceptionally demanding on CPU threading, so the i5-13400F’s 10 cores and 16 threads are more than adequate, and the bottleneck tilts heavily toward the GPU. The RTX 3080’s 8704 shading units and 29.77 TFLOPS of FP32 compute push frame rates well past the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution except the highest preset at 4K. Combos ranked above this one typically feature newer flagship GPUs like the RTX 40-series or Radeon RX 7000 cards, but the gap in practical terms is often only visible at Ultra settings on 4K displays.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) across three resolutions, with average FPS recorded. No minimum or maximum frame rates were captured, so the analysis relies on averages.

At 1920x1080, the i5-13400F and RTX 3080 combination produces 241.1 FPS on Low, 190.9 FPS on Medium, 171 FPS on High, and 110.4 FPS on Ultra. The jump from Low to Ultra costs roughly 54% of the frame rate, which is expected given the increased shading and texture loads. Even at Ultra, the average FPS of 110.4 is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold, so there is no scenario at 1080p where this combo struggles.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high. Low settings yield 163.5 FPS, Medium drops to 128.8 FPS, High comes in at 116.2 FPS, and Ultra still manages 74.3 FPS. The performance scaling from 1080p to 1440p is roughly a 30-35% reduction across presets, which aligns with the 77% increase in pixel count. At 1440p Ultra, the average FPS of 74.3 leaves a comfortable 14 FPS margin above the 60 FPS threshold, making this a fully playable configuration at the highest quality preset.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 3080’s 10 GB memory and 320-bit bus start to show limits. Low settings produce 97 FPS, Medium drops to 75.1 FPS, and High reaches 70.7 FPS. Ultra, however, falls to 44.8 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The gap between High (70.7 FPS) and Ultra (44.8 FPS) is 26 FPS, a steep drop that indicates the Ultra preset’s additional effects and draw distances are too heavy for this card at 4K. The data shows that High is the ceiling for smooth play at 3840x2160, with Medium and Low also viable but not necessary given the High preset’s 70.7 FPS average.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Greedfall with playable frame rates at most resolutions and presets. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 3840x2160, the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best choice at 70.7 FPS average. The Ultra preset at 4K is not playable, as it falls to 44.8 FPS, below the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, all four presets clear 60 FPS, with Ultra offering 74.3 FPS average. At 1920x1080, every preset is well above 60 FPS, with Ultra hitting 110.4 FPS. For users with a 1440p or 1080p monitor, this combo delivers a smooth experience at maximum settings. For 4K users, the practical recommendation is to stick with High settings to maintain a 70.7 FPS average, sacrificing Ultra’s marginal visual gains for consistent frame pacing.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS average is as follows:

• 1920x1080: Ultra settings, averaging 110.4 FPS. This is the maximum preset available and provides a 50 FPS margin over the playable threshold.
• 2560x1440: Ultra settings, averaging 74.3 FPS. The highest quality preset remains playable with a 14 FPS cushion.
• 3840x2160: High settings, averaging 70.7 FPS. Ultra drops to 44.8 FPS and is not playable, so High is the recommended ceiling for 4K.

These selections prioritize visual quality while maintaining a minimum of 60 FPS average. At 4K, users who prefer higher frame rates could drop to Medium (75.1 FPS) or Low (97 FPS), but High offers the best balance of image fidelity and smoothness. At 1080p and 1440p, there is no reason to lower settings below Ultra, as the averages comfortably exceed 60 FPS.
