Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT pairing delivers a playable experience in Greedfall, but the data shows you must be selective with settings to hit high refresh rates. This combination sits at rank 2170 out of 2938 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database. The benchmark results reveal a system where the graphics card is the primary constraint, especially at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear hierarchy of performance based on quality presets. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers an average of 148 FPS, which is excellent for fast-paced action. However, the jump to Medium only drops the average to 117 FPS, a 31 FPS reduction that still leaves plenty of headroom for a 100Hz display. High settings at 1080p produce 106 FPS on average, which remains smooth for most players. The Ultra preset, by contrast, drops to 68 FPS, which is noticeably lower but still technically playable.

For the best balance of visual quality and frame rate at 1080p, the data points to High settings. The 106 FPS average shows this preset is the sweet spot, offering a substantial visual upgrade over Low while keeping frame times low. Medium is the safer choice if you want extra headroom for demanding scenes, as its 117 FPS average with a minimum of 99 FPS suggests consistent performance. Ultra is not recommended at 1080p because the 68 FPS average represents a 38% drop from High, a significant loss for marginal visual gains.

Moving to 1440p, the situation changes. The Low preset averages 103 FPS, which is still very smooth. Medium drops to 81 FPS, and High comes in at 73 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 47 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold many consider the minimum for comfortable play. At this resolution, the Medium preset is the most practical choice. Its 81 FPS average with a minimum of 69 FPS indicates stable performance, and the visual improvement over Low is substantial. High is acceptable if you prioritize image quality, but you will be closer to the edge of smoothness.

At 4K, the data shows a CPU-GPU combo that is clearly struggling. The Low preset averages 61 FPS, which is playable but not comfortable. Medium drops to 48 FPS, and High falls to 44 FPS. The Ultra preset is effectively unplayable at 28 FPS. For 4K, the Low preset is the only viable option for a consistent experience, and even then, you are right at the edge of 60 FPS. If you want to play at 4K with this hardware, stick to Low and accept the visual compromises.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT is the dominant factor in these results. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for Greedfall's textures at 1080p and 1440p but becomes a limiting factor at 4K. The card's base clock of 1605 MHz and boost clock of 1905 MHz, with a game clock of 1755 MHz, show it is a capable mid-range part from the RDNA 1.0 architecture.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16361. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M (0.1% faster), NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (0.3% slower), and AMD Radeon PRO W7500 (0.3% slower). This tight clustering shows the RX 5700 XT is performing exactly where expected for its class.

The data indicates the GPU's memory bandwidth is the key constraint at higher resolutions. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for the 106 FPS average at 1080p High, but the drop to 73 FPS at 1440p High shows the card is working harder. At 4K, the 44 FPS average at High settings demonstrates that the 8 GB frame buffer and bandwidth are insufficient for the increased pixel load. The 225 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU indicate this is a power-hungry card that needs adequate cooling.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that is clearly GPU-bound. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 106 FPS at 1080p to 73 FPS at 1440p, a 31% reduction. The further drop to 44 FPS at 4K represents another 40% reduction from the 1440p figure. This steep decline is characteristic of a GPU that is running out of memory bandwidth and pixel throughput as resolution increases.

The Low preset shows a similar pattern. At 1080p Low, the average is 148 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 103 FPS, a 30% reduction. At 4K Low, it falls to 61 FPS, another 41% drop. The consistency of these percentage drops across settings confirms the GPU is the limiting component. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates would stay more consistent as resolution increases, but the data shows a clear GPU-bound scenario.

The Medium preset data includes min and max FPS values, which provide additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the average is 117 FPS with a minimum of 99 FPS and maximum of 134 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 81 FPS with a minimum of 69 FPS and maximum of 93 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 48 FPS with a minimum of 41 FPS and maximum of 55 FPS. These ranges show that frame time consistency degrades as resolution increases, with the 4K minimum of 41 FPS indicating noticeable stutter in demanding scenes.

The data suggests that 1080p is the native resolution for this combo, with 1440p being the upper limit for smooth gameplay. The 4K results are only suitable for Low settings, and even then, the 61 FPS average leaves little margin for error. If you are targeting 4K, this hardware combination is not adequate for a consistent experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2170 out of 2938 tested combinations places this pairing in the 26th percentile of all tested systems in Greedfall. This means approximately 74% of tested combos perform better, which aligns with the RX 5700 XT's 59th percentile ranking among all GPUs. The CPU, however, is stronger, ranking in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 32750.

The CPU's nearest rivals show it is a solid mid-range processor. It is 0.1% faster than the Intel Core i5-14600T, 0.2% faster than the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, and 0.3% faster than the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360. It is 0.2% slower than the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H.
