Greedfall

Intel Core i5-13400F paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers consistently high frame rates in Greedfall, with the data showing that this combination clears the 60 FPS threshold at every tested resolution except for the most demanding Ultra preset at 3840x2160. The benchmark results indicate a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the Core i5-13400F provides ample headroom at 1080p. Below is a detailed breakdown of the measured performance, optimal settings per resolution, and how this hardware stacks up against nearby alternatives.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this configuration covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) across four quality presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). No minimum or maximum frame rate data was recorded; only average FPS values are available.

1920x1080: At the lowest preset (Low), the combo achieves an average of 265.7 FPS. Moving to Medium reduces performance to 212.2 FPS, while the High preset yields 191.1 FPS. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, still produces an average of 122.3 FPS. This resolution shows a wide spread of 143.4 FPS between the Low and Ultra settings, indicating that the CPU and GPU have significant headroom even under maximum load.

2560x1440: At this resolution, the average FPS values are 184.9 (Low), 149.0 (Medium), 133.7 (High), and 84.8 (Ultra). The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 100.1 FPS compared to 1080p, but the relative performance drop from High to Ultra is steep: 133.7 down to 84.8, a reduction of 48.9 FPS. The data suggests that the Ultra preset at 1440p begins to stress the GPU more substantially.

3840x2160: The 4K results show the clearest scaling trend. The Low preset delivers 107.8 FPS, Medium drops to 85.3 FPS, and High reaches 81.7 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below the playable threshold at 48.4 FPS. Notably, the difference between Medium and High at 4K is only 3.6 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs 33.3 FPS, underscoring that Ultra is a significant step up in rendering load.

Across all resolutions, the data follows a predictable pattern: performance decreases as settings increase, and the rate of decline accelerates at higher resolutions. The largest absolute drop occurs at 4K when moving from High to Ultra, which is the only tested configuration that fails to reach 60 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

The playable threshold for this benchmark is 60 FPS. Based on the verdictByResolution data, the recommended settings are the highest preset that maintains an average FPS at or above 60.

1920x1080: Ultra is the best playable setting, with an average of 122.3 FPS. This is nearly double the 60 FPS threshold, leaving substantial margin for demanding scenes or background tasks.

2560x1440: Ultra also remains the best setting here, with an average of 84.8 FPS. While not as high as the 1080p result, it still clears the threshold by a comfortable 24.8 FPS margin.

3840x2160: High is the best playable setting, delivering an average of 81.7 FPS. Medium (85.3 FPS) and Low (107.8 FPS) are also playable, but High offers the highest visual quality while staying above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 48.4 FPS is not recommended for smooth gameplay.

For users prioritizing a locked 60 FPS experience, the data shows that this system can run Ultra at 1440p and High at 4K without issue. At 1080p, there is no playability concern even at the most demanding preset.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the balance between the Intel Core i5-13400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 shifts across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the FPS values are extremely high across all settings (122.3 to 265.7), which indicates that the GPU is not the primary limiter at this resolution. The Core i5-13400F, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, is capable of feeding the RTX 5070 at these frame rates. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 143.4 FPS drop, meaning the GPU is still doing significant work, but the CPU is not bottlenecking the system.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU becomes more stressed. The FPS at Ultra drops to 84.8 from 122.3 at 1080p, a reduction of 37.5 FPS. This is a direct consequence of the higher pixel count, which increases the GPU's rendering load. The CPU's role diminishes relatively, as the system becomes more GPU-bound. The data shows that the High preset at 1440p (133.7 FPS) performs almost identically to the High preset at 1080p (191.1 FPS) in terms of relative headroom, but the absolute numbers are lower.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is the dominant factor. The FPS differences between presets shrink further: Low (107.8) to Medium (85.3) is a 22.5 FPS drop, Medium to High (81.7) is only 3.6 FPS, and High to Ultra (48.4) is a 33.3 FPS collapse. This pattern suggests that the RTX 5070's capabilities are being fully utilized at 4K, and the Core i5-13400F is not a limiting factor—the performance curve is almost entirely dependent on GPU load. The Ultra preset at 4K likely introduces effects that push the GPU's 12 GB GDDR7 memory and 192-bit bus to its limits.

In summary, the Core i5-13400F is more than adequate for this game at all tested resolutions, while the RTX 5070 determines playability at higher settings. The CPU's influence is most visible at 1080p where it supports very high frame rates; at 4K, the GPU is the clear bottleneck.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Greedfall? The verdictByResolution data provides a clear answer.

• 1920x1080: Yes, at all presets. Ultra runs at 122.3 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold.
• 2560x1440: Yes, at all presets. Ultra runs at 84.8 FPS, comfortably above 60 FPS.
• 3840x2160: Yes, at Low (107.8), Medium (85.3), and High (81.7) presets. Ultra is not playable at 48.4 FPS.

The only configuration that fails the 60 FPS test is 4K Ultra. For 4K gaming, users should select the High preset to maintain smooth performance. At 1440p and below, the system has enough power to run the game at its maximum settings without issue. The overall combo rank of 737 out of 3703 tested combinations places this system in the top 20% of all tested hardware, which aligns with the strong measured performance.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data for both the CPU and GPU offers a view of hardware that would perform similarly in this system. For the Intel Core i5-13400F, the closest alternatives based on average benchmark scores are:

• AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS: Average score of 25284, with a deltaPct of 0 compared to the Core i5-13400F's average of 25292. This means they are effectively identical in compute performance.
• Intel Core 5 120: Average score of 25362, with a deltaPct of -0.3, indicating it is marginally faster.
• AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D: Average score of 25365, with a deltaPct of -0.3, also marginally faster.
• AMD Ryzen 7 6800H: Average score of 25201, with a deltaPct of 0.4, meaning it is slightly slower.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, the nearest rivals are:

• AMD Radeon Pro 580: Average score of 40318, deltaPct of 0.1, essentially equal.
• AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100: Average score of 40063, deltaPct of 0.8, slightly slower.
• AMD Radeon Pro 5300: Average score of 40870, deltaPct of -1.2, slightly faster.
• NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile: Average score of 39568, deltaPct of 2, notably slower.

In practice, swapping the Core i5-13400F for a Ryzen 9 6900HS or a Ryzen 5 5600X3D would produce nearly identical frame rates in Greedfall, as the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. Similarly, the GPU rivals listed are all within 2% of the RTX 5070's performance, so users with those GPUs should expect similar FPS numbers, though the RTX 5070's 12 GB memory and GDDR7 bandwidth may offer advantages in other titles.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame field places this specific CPU-GPU pairing at rank 737 out of 3703 tested combinations. This percentile position (roughly the 80th percentile) is consistent with the measured FPS data: the system is capable of high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, and only struggles at the absolute highest settings in 4K. The rank reflects that many other combinations—likely those with higher-end GPUs or more powerful CPUs—can achieve better 4K Ultra performance, but this combo is still well within the upper tier of tested systems. The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus score of 77 and GPU's percentileVsAllGpus score of 82 further confirm that both components are above average, with the GPU being slightly stronger relative to its peers.
