Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers strong frame rates in Greedfall across most resolutions and settings. Measured data shows that the combo exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold at 1080p and 1440p on all presets, and at 4K up to High settings. The only failure point is 4K Ultra, which averages 51.3 FPS.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Greedfall at 1080p Ultra?

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings is 122.4, well above the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the highest playable setting at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, High settings average 78.2 FPS and are playable. Ultra drops to 51.3 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, so High is the most demanding playable preset at 4K.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in benchmark scores?

A: The i5-14400F has an average benchmark score of 32279. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (32233, 0.1% delta), Intel Core i9-11900 (32226, 0.2%), AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS (32354, -0.2%), and Intel Core i7-12800H (32121, 0.5%). All are within 0.5% of each other.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The RTX 5070 has an average benchmark score of 40377. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (40318, 0.1% delta), AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 (40063, 0.8%), AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (40870, -1.2%), and NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile (39568, 2%).

Q: What is the overall rank of this CPU+GPU combo in Greedfall?

A: The combo ranks 735th out of 3703 tested combinations, placing it in the top 20% of all systems tested for this game.

Q: Is the GPU or CPU more likely to bottleneck at 1080p?

A: The data suggests the CPU is more likely to limit frame rates at 1080p. At 1920x1080, Low settings average 267 FPS, while Ultra averages 122.4 FPS, a spread of 144.6 FPS. At 4K, the spread between Low and Ultra is only 58.1 FPS (109.4 vs 51.3), indicating the GPU becomes the dominant factor as resolution increases.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling across resolutions and presets clarifies how the i5-14400F and RTX 5070 share the workload in Greedfall. At 1920x1080, the CPU’s 10 cores and 16 threads (boost clock 4.70 GHz) are sufficient to feed the GPU at very high frame rates. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 144.6 FPS (267 vs 122.4), showing that the GPU’s rendering load scales steeply with settings, but the CPU can still push frames well past the 60 FPS threshold even on Ultra.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern holds: Low averages 184.3 FPS, Medium 148.4, High 133.4, and Ultra 82.5. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at the same preset is roughly 30% for Low (267 to 184.3) and 33% for Ultra (122.4 to 82.5). This consistent scaling indicates the GPU is becoming more stressed, but the CPU remains capable of sustaining high frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the primary limiter. Low settings average 109.4 FPS, but Ultra falls to 51.3 FPS, below the playable threshold. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is only 58.1 FPS, much smaller than the 144.6 FPS gap at 1080p. This compression suggests that at 4K, even the lowest settings are heavily GPU-bound, and the CPU’s headroom is no longer the deciding factor. The RTX 5070’s 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for the game’s textures and geometry, but the sheer pixel count at 4K overwhelms the GPU when settings are maxed.

In summary, at 1080p the CPU is likely the bottleneck for the highest frame rates, while at 1440p and 4K the GPU becomes progressively more important. The i5-14400F’s strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core 3055) and multi-thread score (21645) ensure that it never holds back the RTX 5070 in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists the average FPS recorded for each resolution and settings combination. Minimum and maximum FPS values were not provided in the dataset.

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS |

|------------|----------|-------------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 78.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 109.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 87.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 51.3 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 133.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 184.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 148.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 82.5 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 190.8 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 267.0 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 212.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 122.4 |

The data shows a clear progression: as resolution increases, average FPS drops for every preset. At 1080p, all settings exceed 120 FPS, with Low reaching 267 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra still holds 82.5 FPS, while at 4K, only Low, Medium, and High stay above 60 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 51.3 FPS is the sole instance where the combo falls below the playable threshold.

The Verdict

According to the verdict by resolution, this system can run Greedfall at 60 FPS or higher in the following configurations:

• 3840x2160: Playable on High (78.2 FPS), Low (109.4 FPS), and Medium (87.4 FPS). Ultra is not playable at 51.3 FPS.
• 2560x1440: All four settings are playable, including Ultra at 82.5 FPS.
• 1920x1080: All four settings are playable, with Ultra at 122.4 FPS.

The combination of the i5-14400F and RTX 5070 is fully capable of running Greedfall at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, and at 4K with High settings. The only scenario that fails the 60 FPS test is 4K Ultra, where the average drops to 51.3 FPS. For players with a 4K display who insist on Ultra presets, a more powerful GPU would be required, but the RTX 5070 handles everything else.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is listed below, along with its measured average FPS.

• 1920x1080: Ultra – 122.4 FPS
• 2560x1440: Ultra – 82.5 FPS
• 3840x2160: High – 78.2 FPS

At 1080p and 1440p, players can enable every graphics option without concern. At 4K, High settings deliver a smooth 78.2 FPS, while Ultra drops to 51.3 FPS, so High is the recommended maximum for 4K. If a player prefers a higher frame rate at 4K, Medium (87.4 FPS) or Low (109.4 FPS) are also viable, but High provides the best balance of visual fidelity and performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-14400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination ranks 735th out of 3703 tested systems in Greedfall. This places it in the top 20% of all configurations evaluated, indicating that it is a strong performer for this title. The CPU itself sits at the 83rd percentile among all processors in the database, while the GPU sits at the 82nd percentile among all graphics cards. These individual percentiles align with the combo’s overall rank, confirming that neither component is a weak link.

The nearest CPU rivals are all within 0.5% of the i5-14400F’s average benchmark score, which shows that the processor is highly competitive in its segment. Similarly, the RTX 5070’s nearest GPU rivals are within 2% of its average score, with the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 being 1.2% higher and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile 2% lower. This level of performance places the combo comfortably above the median of tested systems, and the measured FPS in Greedfall reflects that strength. For gamers targeting high-refresh 1080p or smooth 1440p gameplay, this pairing is more than sufficient, and even 4K at High settings is a realistic option.
