Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, delivering an average of 153.6 FPS. This is far beyond the playability threshold, providing a massive cushion for any scene complexity. The data shows even the heaviest settings at 1080p are effectively GPU-bound with this combo, as the RTX 5080’s 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 293.1 GPixel/s pixel rate easily handle the pixel throughput.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 106.8 FPS. This is 46.8 FPS lower than 1080p Ultra, but still 46.8 FPS above the 60 FPS requirement. The 1440p resolution increases the pixel count by roughly 1.78 times compared to 1080p, yet the system maintains a strong framerate, suggesting the 16 GB GDDR7 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to feed the GPU’s 10752 shading units.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, averaging 60.6 FPS. This is the only resolution where the Ultra preset dips close to the threshold, with only a 0.6 FPS margin. For users who prefer a larger safety margin, High settings at 4K produce 96.9 FPS, which is 36.3 FPS higher than Ultra. The data indicates 4K is where the GPU’s 16 GB memory capacity and 256-bit bus width become critical, as the higher resolution demands more memory bandwidth and capacity.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the Intel Core i7-14700F, benchmark data places its average score at 53620. The nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon 6505P with an average score of 53701, which is only 0.2% faster. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 scores 53469, 0.3% slower, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53288, 0.6% slower. The AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53206, 0.8% slower. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical performance in Greedfall, as the game’s engine does not heavily discriminate between these closely matched processors. The i7-14700F’s 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 20 cores provide strong multi-threaded capability, but the deltaPct values show differences under 1%, meaning users would not perceive a difference in framerates.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, the average benchmark score is 56083. Its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE with a score of 57367, which is 2.2% faster. This is the only rival in the list that outpaces the RTX 5080. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, 0.6% slower, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698, 0.7% slower. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, 2.3% slower. When comparing GPUs, the 2.2% gap to the RX 9070 GRE is minor, translating to roughly 2-3 FPS in Greedfall’s 60-150 FPS range, which is imperceptible. The RTX 5080’s 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores contribute to its strong compute scores, but Greedfall’s standard rasterization workload benefits most from the raw 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 throughput.

The Verdict

This combination can definitively run Greedfall at playable framerates across all tested resolutions. The verdictByResolution data confirms that at 3840x2160, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra achieving 60.6 FPS and High reaching 96.9 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets are also playable, with Ultra at 106.8 FPS and Low at 231.2 FPS. At 1920x1080, all presets exceed 60 FPS by a wide margin, with Ultra at 153.6 FPS and Low at 339.1 FPS.

The critical takeaway is that the system never falls below the 60 FPS threshold in any tested configuration. The lowest recorded average is 60.6 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is the only scenario where the margin is thin. For gamers who prioritize smooth motion over maximum visual fidelity, 4K High at 96.9 FPS offers a 36.3 FPS improvement over Ultra with presumably similar visual quality. The 1440p and 1080p results are so far above the threshold that they indicate the GPU is not fully utilized at lower resolutions, particularly at 1080p where Ultra hits 153.6 FPS and Low reaches 339.1 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling data between resolutions reveals how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Greedfall. At 1920x1080, moving from Low to Ultra settings changes the average FPS from 339.1 to 153.6, a reduction of 185.5 FPS. This dramatic drop indicates that at 1080p, the GPU is the primary bottleneck when settings are increased, as higher presets demand more shading, texture, and pixel work. The CPU’s role is less pronounced here, as even at Low settings the system achieves 339.1 FPS, suggesting the i7-14700F can feed the RTX 5080 with minimal latency.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset produces 231.2 FPS and Ultra produces 106.8 FPS, a 124.4 FPS difference. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows compared to 1080p, indicating that the GPU is becoming more saturated as resolution increases. The CPU still has headroom, evidenced by the 231.2 FPS at Low settings, which is above any practical refresh rate. The 1440p data suggests the GPU takes on a larger share of the workload, but the CPU remains a capable partner.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset yields 138.6 FPS and Ultra yields 60.6 FPS, a 78.0 FPS difference. This is the smallest delta between Low and Ultra across all resolutions, confirming that at 4K, the GPU is heavily loaded even at Low settings. The RTX 5080’s 960.0 GB/s bandwidth and 16 GB memory capacity are being tested, but the CPU still manages to provide enough data to reach 138.6 FPS at Low. The pattern across resolutions shows that Greedfall is GPU-intensive, particularly at higher presets, but the i7-14700F’s 20 cores ensure it never becomes the limiting factor in this combo.

How This Combo Ranks

The combined system ranks 210th out of 3703 tested combinations in Greedfall, placing it in the top 5.7% of all configurations. This high rank is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows the system exceeding 60 FPS at every resolution and preset. The combo’s percentile standing is reinforced by the individual component rankings: the CPU is in the 91st percentile among all processors, and the GPU is in the 87th percentile among all GPUs.

The rank of 210 out of 3703 indicates that while this is a very powerful setup, there are 209 tested combos that perform better in this specific game. Those higher-ranked systems likely feature even more powerful GPUs or CPUs, but the data does not specify which. For context, the RTX 5080’s nearest GPU rival, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, is 2.2% faster on average, which could account for some of the rank difference if paired with a similar CPU. However, the 210th rank still places this combo in the top 6% of all tested configurations, meaning it will handle Greedfall with ease at any resolution.

The combination’s strong rank is also supported by the measured FPS at 4K Ultra, which is the most demanding scenario in the dataset. Achieving 60.6 FPS at 4K Ultra puts this system in a select group, as many configurations fail to reach 60 FPS at that resolution. The 16 GB of GDDR7 memory is particularly advantageous for 4K textures, preventing any potential stutter from memory overflow. Overall, this combo ranks in the top tier for Greedfall, with only a small fraction of setups delivering higher framerates.
