Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is a combination that produces decisively high frame rates in Greedfall, a 2019 Action RPG. The measured data shows this system clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold with substantial headroom across every resolution and preset tested. The RTX 5080, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with 10,752 shading units and 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivers a 960.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, which proves ample for this title. The i5-13400F, a 10-core, 16-thread Raptor Lake-S part with a 4.60 GHz boost clock, provides sufficient single-thread performance to avoid bottlenecking the GPU, as evidenced by the consistently high frame rates even at 1080p. This analysis interprets the benchmark results to give a practical view of what to expect from this hardware in Greedfall.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination is comprehensive, covering three resolutions and four quality presets. All figures are average FPS, as no minimum or maximum frame rate data was recorded. At 1920x1080, the system performs exceptionally well, starting at 335.1 FPS on Low settings. Moving up to Medium, the average drops to 264.4 FPS, while High settings still produce a very strong 243.7 FPS. At the most demanding Ultra preset, the average FPS remains at 155.1, which is more than double the 60 FPS threshold and indicates the GPU is not heavily taxed at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down as expected but remain extremely high. Low settings yield an average of 232.1 FPS, and Medium settings produce 186.4 FPS. High settings are still very fast at 169.3 FPS, and even Ultra settings maintain a robust 105.5 FPS average. This resolution represents a sweet spot for the RTX 5080, as the performance drop from 1080p to 1440p is significant but leaves the system with plenty of power to spare for future titles or higher refresh rate monitors.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the system still delivers playable performance across all presets, but the scaling is more pronounced. Low settings average 140.1 FPS, while Medium drops to 106.9 FPS. High settings are close behind at 100.2 FPS. The most demanding preset, Ultra, brings the average down to 65.3 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This shows that 4K Ultra is the boundary for this combination, where the GPU is finally working hard enough to bring frame rates closer to the baseline.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provides context on what other hardware would behave similarly. The Intel Core i5-13400F has an average benchmark score of 25,292, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, which scores 25,284, a delta of 0%. This means the i5-13400F and the Ryzen 9 6900HS are effectively identical in overall processing power for this game. The Intel Core 5 120 scores 25,362, which is 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D scores 25,365, also 0.3% higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25,201, which is 0.4% lower. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Greedfall, as the game is not likely to be CPU-bound at the resolutions tested.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 has an average benchmark score of 56,083, putting it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, which scores 57,367, a delta of -2.2%, meaning the Radeon is slightly faster in synthetic benchmarks. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55,757, which is 0.6% lower, and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698, which is 0.7% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828, which is 2.3% lower. Based on these scores, the RX 9070 GRE would deliver roughly 2% higher frame rates in Greedfall, while the other Radeon options would be within a few percent of the RTX 5080's performance. This suggests that swapping to any of these GPUs would result in a visually similar experience, with the RX 9070 GRE being the only one to offer a measurable, albeit small, performance advantage.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this specific combination of the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 ranks 187th out of 3,703 tested combos for Greedfall. This places it in the top 5% of all tested systems, which is a strong result. The high rank is driven primarily by the GPU's performance, as the RTX 5080 is a top-tier card, while the CPU is a mid-range part that does not hinder the GPU in this title. The data indicates that this combo is faster than the vast majority of other systems tested, making it a high-end setup for playing Greedfall. The ranking also suggests that the system is well-balanced for this specific game, as the CPU does not become a limiting factor even at 1080p where CPU load is typically highest.

The Verdict

The verdict is clear: this PC can run Greedfall with ease. The data shows that all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) are playable at every resolution tested, meaning they all achieve an average FPS at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which runs at 155.1 FPS average. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best playable setting, delivering 105.5 FPS. Even at 3840x2160, the system can handle Ultra settings with an average of 65.3 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. This means a user can max out the game's graphics at 4K and still get a smooth experience, though with less headroom than at lower resolutions. For those with high refresh rate monitors, the 1080p and 1440p results are particularly impressive, with even Ultra settings providing frame rates well above 100 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is listed, along with the exact average FPS.

• 1920x1080: Ultra settings, 155.1 FPS average.
• 2560x1440: Ultra settings, 105.5 FPS average.
• 3840x2160: Ultra settings, 65.3 FPS average.

In all cases, the Ultra preset is the best choice, as it provides the highest visual quality while still maintaining an average FPS above the playable threshold. At 1080p and 1440p, the frame rates are high enough to take advantage of high refresh rate displays, while at 4K, the system just barely maintains the 60 FPS target, making it a viable option for those who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate headroom.
