Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is a mid-range desktop combination that delivers a strong performance profile for Greedfall, a 2019 Action RPG. Benchmark data shows this combo ranks 1975th out of 3703 tested combinations, placing it in the 47th percentile of all systems measured. This ranking indicates that while not a top-tier enthusiast setup, it sits comfortably above the median, with the measured frame rates confirming its capability to handle the game at high settings across most resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 achieves a rank of 1975 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. This places the system squarely in the middle of the pack, meaning that roughly half of all tested hardware configurations will outperform it, while the other half will deliver lower frame rates. The CPU component alone sits at the 77th percentile when compared against all other processors, indicating a relatively strong processor that outperforms a majority of alternatives. The GPU, however, is less exceptional, ranking at the 61st percentile among all graphics cards.

This disparity between the CPU and GPU percentiles is noteworthy. The Core i5-13400F's 77th percentile ranking suggests the processor has headroom to spare in this title, while the RTX 4060's 61st percentile is the more limiting factor. The average benchmark score for the CPU is 25292, while the GPU averages 17639. When interpreting the combo rank of 1975/3703, the data suggests that the overall position is dragged down more by the graphics card than the processor. For Greedfall, this means that users upgrading from a weaker GPU would see more benefit than those upgrading from a weaker CPU, as the processor already performs well above average for this title.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured data reveals a clear trend where the GPU plays the dominant role in determining performance, with the CPU providing a solid foundation that rarely becomes a bottleneck. This is evidenced by the scaling of frame rates across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 182.5 FPS, which drops to 129 FPS at High and 82.5 FPS at Ultra. This scaling pattern shows that as the graphical load increases, the frame rate drops proportionally, a classic sign of GPU-bound performance.

When moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, the impact of resolution scaling further confirms GPU dominance. At 2560x1440 Ultra settings, the system achieves 59.5 FPS, but at 3840x2160 Ultra, it drops to 35 FPS. This represents a 41% reduction in frame rate for a 2.25x increase in pixel count, which is expected behavior for a GPU-limited scenario. The CPU's role is more apparent at lower resolutions and settings where frame rates exceed 140 FPS. At 1920x1080 Low, the 182.5 FPS result suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU adequately, but the RTX 4060's 8GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory interface become the primary constraints as resolution and settings increase. The data shows that the CPU's 10 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, are sufficient for this game, as frame rates scale consistently with GPU workload rather than hitting a CPU-imposed ceiling.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 182.5 FPS, which rises to 140.1 FPS at Medium and 129 FPS at High. Ultra settings still manage a very playable 82.5 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is relatively small at 11.1 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra is more pronounced at 46.5 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset introduces significant graphical effects that tax the GPU.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows expected degradation. Low settings yield 123.9 FPS, Medium drops to 96.9 FPS, and High maintains a solid 90.3 FPS. Ultra settings fall to 59.5 FPS, just below the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the system struggles with higher presets. Low settings still achieve a playable 72.8 FPS, and Medium barely clears 60 FPS at 60.1 FPS. High settings drop to 55.8 FPS, while Ultra falls to 35 FPS, which is noticeably less smooth. Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: the RTX 4060 handles Low and Medium presets easily, High is playable at 1440p and below, but Ultra is only viable at 1080p.

The Verdict

Benchmark results indicate that this PC can run Greedfall effectively, with playability depending on resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 82.5 FPS. This makes 1080p the resolution where the system is fully unconstrained, allowing users to max out graphical fidelity. At 2560x1440, the verdict is slightly more nuanced: Low, Medium, and High settings all exceed 60 FPS, with High averaging 90.3 FPS. However, Ultra settings fall to 59.5 FPS, just below the 60 FPS mark, so users seeking 1440p Ultra would need to accept a marginal drop below the target.

At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium settings are considered playable, with Medium averaging 60.1 FPS. High settings at 55.8 FPS and Ultra at 35 FPS are not recommended for smooth gameplay. The data shows that the best experience at 4K is capped at Medium settings. Overall, the system is most comfortable at 1080p and 1440p, where it offers a wide range of playable presets, while 4K requires compromise on visual quality to maintain playable frame rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the Intel Core i5-13400F has an average benchmark score of 25292, placing it within a fraction of a percent of several alternatives. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS scores 25284, a 0% difference, making it a nearly identical performer. The Intel Core 5 120 scores 25362, which is 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D also scores 25365, also 0.3% higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25201, 0.4% lower. These four CPUs would all deliver nearly indistinguishable performance in Greedfall, as the differences are within measurement error.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 averages 17639 in benchmarks. Its closest rival is the AMD Radeon HD 7790 with a score of 17666, just 0.2% higher. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, 0.3% lower, while the AMD Radeon Pro 560 at 17551 and AMD Radeon Pro 460 at 17509 are 0.5% and 0.7% lower, respectively. All five GPUs would produce essentially identical frame rates in Greedfall, meaning users with any of these graphics cards would see similar performance to the RTX 4060 in this title. The practical implication is that the combo's in-game ranking would remain nearly unchanged if pairing the i5-13400F with any of these rival GPUs, or if using the RTX 4060 with any of the rival CPUs.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which achieves an average of 60.1 FPS. This is a borderline result, just barely clearing the threshold, but it is the highest quality setting that maintains playability at 4K. At 2560x1440, High settings deliver 90.3 FPS, which is the best playable option, offering a substantial margin above 60 FPS while still providing high visual quality. Ultra at 1440p falls short at 59.5 FPS, so High is the recommended ceiling.

At 1920x1080, the system can handle Ultra settings with an average of 82.5 FPS. This is the most demanding preset at this resolution and it comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, leaving headroom for demanding scenes. For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, Low settings at 1080p produce 182.5 FPS, but Ultra is fully playable and is the recommended choice for the best visual experience. The data across all three resolutions shows a clear pattern: the RTX 4060 is capable of high preset at 1440p and ultra at 1080p, but 4K users must settle for medium settings.
