Greedfall

This CPU and GPU pairing lands at rank 1996 out of 3703 tested combos for Greedfall, placing it in the 54th percentile of all tested systems. That mid-pack position reflects a combination that is neither a top-tier enthusiast setup nor a weak entry-level one — it sits firmly in the upper-middle range, with enough headroom for smooth play at most settings but with clear limits at 4K Ultra.

The measured data confirms this is a genuinely playable combo for the vast majority of scenarios. At 1080p, every preset including Ultra clears the 60 FPS threshold with room to spare. At 1440p, the three highest presets all stay above 60 FPS, with Ultra being the only one that dips below. At 4K, only Low settings manage to hold 60 FPS — Medium sits just under at 59 FPS, High drops to 52.7 FPS, and Ultra falls to 36.2 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1996 out of 3703 tested combinations means roughly 54% of tested systems perform better in Greedfall, while about 46% perform worse. This positions the i7-12700K + RTX 4060 as a solidly mid-pack pairing for this specific title — not a standout, not a disappointment.

The CPU itself is the stronger component relative to the GPU. The Core i7-12700K scores in the 84th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35,287. Its nearest rivals show how tightly packed the upper-mid CPU field is: the Core i5-13600T scores 35,305 (0.1% behind), the Core i7-12700KF scores 35,365 (0.2% behind), the Core i7-13700T scores 35,403 (0.3% behind), and the Core 5 213PE scores 35,428 (0.4% behind). All four of these alternatives would deliver essentially identical CPU-bound performance in Greedfall — the differences are within noise.

The GPU is more of a mixed story. The RTX 4060 sits in the 61st percentile against all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 17,639. Its nearest rivals are an eclectic group: the AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17,666 (0.2% higher), the AMD Radeon 780M scores 17,588 (0.3% lower), the AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17,551 (0.5% lower), and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17,509 (0.7% lower). These deltas are all under 1%, meaning the RTX 4060's raw compute performance is statistically indistinguishable from those cards — though in actual gaming, driver support and feature set differences would matter more than these synthetic scores suggest.

The practical takeaway: this combo's rank is dragged down by the GPU, not the CPU. The i7-12700K has plenty of headroom for Greedfall's workload, but the RTX 4060's mid-range positioning shows up at higher resolutions and presets.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Greedfall at 1080p with maximum settings?

A: Yes. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo achieves an average of 84.8 FPS, well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

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

A: At 3840x2160, only Low settings stay above 60 FPS, averaging 76.6 FPS. Medium drops to 59 FPS, just under the threshold.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RTX 4060's average benchmark score of 17,639 is within 0.7% of four nearby cards: the Radeon HD 7790 (17,666), Radeon 780M (17,588), Radeon Pro 560 (17,551), and Radeon Pro 460 (17,509).

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck in this pairing?

A: The CPU ranks in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 61st percentile of all GPUs. The GPU is the limiting factor for higher-resolution play.

Q: What 1440p settings maintain 60+ FPS?

A: High, Medium, and Low all stay above 60 FPS at 2560x1440, with High averaging 88.5 FPS, Medium 95.8 FPS, and Low 123.2 FPS. Ultra falls to 57.8 FPS.

Q: How does the i7-12700K compare to its closest CPU alternatives?

A: The i7-12700K scores 35,287 on average, within 0.4% of the i5-13600T (35,305), i7-12700KF (35,365), i7-13700T (35,403), and Core 5 213PE (35,428).

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the benchmark data, several CPUs would behave nearly identically to the i7-12700K in Greedfall. The Core i7-12700KF is essentially the same chip without integrated graphics — its 35,365 average score is 0.2% higher, a negligible difference. The Core i5-13600T (35,305, 0.1% lower) and Core i7-13700T (35,403, 0.3% higher) also fall within a rounding error of the i7-12700K's performance. The Core 5 213PE (35,428, 0.4% higher) rounds out this cluster. Any of these CPUs would deliver effectively the same frame rates in Greedfall, so the choice between them comes down to platform features and power characteristics rather than gaming performance.

On the GPU side, the picture is more nuanced. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17,666 on average, just 0.2% above the RTX 4060's 17,639. The AMD Radeon 780M (17,588, 0.3% lower), AMD Radeon Pro 560 (17,551, 0.5% lower), and AMD Radeon Pro 460 (17,509, 0.7% lower) complete the nearest-rival group. In synthetic terms these are all statistically tied, but real-world Greedfall performance would likely favor the RTX 4060 due to its Ada Lovelace architecture features — though the measured FPS data in this pack only covers the exact i7-12700K + RTX 4060 combination.

The practical advice: if you're building around this performance tier, CPU choice among these five models won't change your Greedfall experience. The GPU side has more variance in actual gaming due to driver and architecture differences, but the synthetic scores suggest these alternatives would land in the same general frame rate range.

The Verdict

The data shows a definitive answer: yes, this PC can run Greedfall, and it does so comfortably at most settings. The verdict by resolution is clear:

• 1920x1080: All four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — maintain average FPS above 60. Ultra averages 84.8 FPS, giving you 24.8 FPS of headroom above the playable threshold.
• 2560x1440: Three presets are playable — High (88.5 FPS), Medium (95.8 FPS), and Low (123.2 FPS). Ultra drops to 57.8 FPS, just 2.2 FPS below the 60 FPS threshold.
• 3840x2160: Only Low settings are playable, averaging 76.6 FPS. Medium nearly makes it at 59 FPS, but High (52.7 FPS) and Ultra (36.2 FPS) fall short.

For a 1080p gamer, this is a thoroughly capable setup — you can max out the game and still get smooth performance. For 1440p users, you'll want to stick with High settings (or lower) for a locked 60+ FPS experience. At 4K, this combo is limited to Low settings for smooth play, which is expected given the GPU's mid-range positioning.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers 12 combinations of resolution and settings, all with average FPS recorded (no min or max values were captured):

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 76.6 FPS average
• Medium: 59.0 FPS average
• High: 52.7 FPS average
• Ultra: 36.2 FPS average

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 123.2 FPS average
• Medium: 95.8 FPS average
• High: 88.5 FPS average
• Ultra: 57.8 FPS average

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 180.8 FPS average
• Medium: 139.8 FPS average
• High: 128.1 FPS average
• Ultra: 84.8 FPS average

The scaling patterns are instructive. From Low to Ultra at each resolution, the frame rate drops substantially — at 1080p it's a 96 FPS difference between Low and Ultra, at 1440p a 65.4 FPS difference, and at 4K a 40.4 FPS difference. The percentage drops are steepest at 4K, where Ultra delivers less than half the FPS of Low. Resolution scaling is also steep: 1080p Ultra (84.8 FPS) is about 47% faster than 1440p Ultra (57.8 FPS), which itself is 60% faster than 4K Ultra (36.2 FPS).

Best Settings per Resolution

The goal is the most demanding preset that still holds 60 FPS or better. Based on the measured averages:

1920x1080 — Ultra at 84.8 FPS: You can run the game at maximum settings and stay 24.8 FPS above the playable threshold. This is the best possible visual quality at this resolution with no compromise needed.

2560x1440 — High at 88.5 FPS: High settings give you 28.5 FPS of headroom. Ultra would be the visual upgrade, but at 57.8 FPS it falls 2.2 FPS short of the 60 FPS target. High is the sweet spot — it delivers strong visual quality while keeping a comfortable margin above the threshold.

3840x2160 — Low at 76.6 FPS: This is the only playable option at 4K. Medium nearly makes it at 59 FPS, but that's 1 FPS below the threshold. If you must play at 4K, Low settings are required for smooth performance, giving you 16.6 FPS of headroom. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 17.6 FPS, so the jump to Medium would cost you significant smoothness for a modest visual gain.

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, 1440p High is arguably the sweet spot for this combo — it delivers 88.5 FPS with High settings, which is both visually rich and well above the 60 FPS threshold. At 1080p, you can simply max everything out. At 4K, the RTX 4060's 8 GB frame buffer and mid-range compute power show their limits, and Low settings are the only path to a smooth experience.
