Greedfall

Best Settings per Resolution

The data shows that this combination can clear the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution, but the playable preset ceiling varies sharply as resolution increases.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, delivering an average of 82 FPS. This is the full visual experience with headroom to spare. The recorded average of 82 FPS sits well above the 60 FPS playability threshold, meaning there is no need to compromise on quality at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, averaging 89 FPS. While Ultra also clears the threshold at 57 FPS average, it falls below the 60 FPS line, so High is the optimal choice for a locked playable experience. The jump from 89 FPS at High down to 57 FPS at Ultra represents a significant performance cost for the extra visual fidelity.

At 3840x2160, the only preset that maintains an average at or above 60 FPS is Low, with 74 FPS. Medium averages 58 FPS, just short of the threshold, and High drops to 53 FPS. For 4K gaming, Low is the only preset that provides consistent playability, though it does so with a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS line.

The pattern is clear: this combo scales predictably with resolution, and the performance cost per preset tier grows steeper at higher pixel counts.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Greedfall, this CPU and GPU pairing ranks 2006 out of 3703 tested combos. That places it in the middle of the distribution, which is consistent with what the frame rates show: it handles the game well at 1080p and 1440p, but struggles at 4K on higher presets.

The CPU itself sits at the 47th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU lands at the 61st percentile among all tested graphics cards. This is an interesting split. The GPU is the stronger component relative to its peers, and it does most of the heavy lifting in this game. The CPU, while not a bottleneck in most scenarios, is closer to the middle of the pack.

The combo rank of 2006 out of 3703 means that roughly 54% of tested combinations deliver better results in Greedfall, while 46% deliver worse results. This is not a top-tier pairing, but it is far from a weak one. For a game released in 2019, this hardware combination is more than adequate for mainstream gaming at standard resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a complete picture of how this combo performs across three resolutions and four preset tiers.

1920x1080:

At Low settings, the average FPS is 180, which indicates the CPU is not limiting performance at all at this resolution. Medium averages 141 FPS, with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 163 FPS. High averages 128 FPS. Ultra averages 82 FPS. Even the lowest recorded value at Medium, 120 FPS, is double the playability threshold.

2560x1440:

Low settings average 125 FPS. Medium averages 98 FPS, with a minimum of 83 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS. High averages 89 FPS. Ultra averages 57 FPS, which is the first preset in the entire dataset to fall below the 60 FPS threshold. The margin between High and Ultra at this resolution is 32 FPS, a steep drop for one preset tier.

3840x2160:

Low settings average 74 FPS. Medium averages 58 FPS, with a minimum of 50 FPS and a maximum of 67 FPS. This is the only preset in the dataset with recorded min and max values, and the spread shows that even at 4K, the frame rate can fluctuate by 17 FPS. High averages 53 FPS. Ultra averages 34 FPS, which is barely more than half the playability threshold.

The data reveals that the biggest performance cliff occurs between High and Ultra at 1440p, and between Low and Medium at 4K. At 1080p, all presets are comfortably playable, with even the weakest preset average (Ultra at 82 FPS) well above 60.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database, several other components would produce broadly similar results in this game.

On the CPU side, the Intel Core i7-1068NG7 has an average benchmark score of 2259, which is 0.2% below the i5-9400's average score of 2254 (the negative delta indicates the rival scores slightly higher). The Intel Core i7-10710U scores 2248, which is 0.3% higher than the i5-9400. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 scores 2246, also 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i3-10305 scores 2264, which is 0.4% below the i5-9400.

These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning any of these CPUs would deliver essentially identical frame rates in Greedfall. The i5-9400 sits squarely in a cluster of processors with nearly indistinguishable performance.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon HD 7790 has an average benchmark score of 17666, which is 0.2% below the RTX 4060's average score of 17639. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, 0.3% above the RTX 4060. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, 0.5% above. The AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, 0.7% above.

Again, these are extremely tight margins. Any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical results in Greedfall. The practical takeaway is that this CPU and GPU are both positioned in performance clusters where small benchmark differences do not translate into perceptible frame rate changes.

FAQ

The Verdict

This PC can run Greedfall, and it does so with confidence at most settings.

At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra averages 82 FPS, which is the highest visual quality available in the game and it remains fully playable. This is the resolution where this combo shines brightest.

At 2560x1440, High settings average 89 FPS, making it the best balance of quality and performance. Ultra falls to 57 FPS, just short of the threshold, so players who want the absolute highest quality at 1440p would need to accept a frame rate slightly below 60.

At 3840x2160, Low settings average 74 FPS, which is playable, but any preset above Low falls below the threshold. Medium averages 58 FPS, High averages 53 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. For 4K gaming, this combo requires significant visual compromises.

The overall picture is that this is a solid 1080p and 1440p machine for Greedfall, with 4K limited to Low settings. The GPU carries more weight than the CPU in this pairing, and the frame rate data confirms that the graphics card is the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions. The launch MSRP of the RTX 4060 is 299 USD, and the recorded performance in this game is consistent with its mid-range positioning. For players targeting 1080p or 1440p, this combo is a reliable choice. For 4K, lower presets are the only option.
