Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT delivers a robust 1080p and 1440p experience in Greedfall, with the data showing 4K Ultra as the only setting where the combo falls below a playable threshold. This pairing ranks in the 64th percentile of all tested combinations for this game, landing at position 1069 out of 2938. The measured frames per second reveal a clear pattern: the RX 7700 XT’s 12 GB VRAM and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth handle memory-intensive scenes comfortably, while the Ryzen 5 7400F’s six Zen 4 cores provide enough headroom to push high refresh rates at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 209 FPS average, indicating that the GPU is not the limiting factor at that setting; instead, the CPU’s single-thread performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072, keeps the pipeline fed.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this CPU-GPU combo in Greedfall?

A: The data shows 1440p High as the sweet spot, producing an average of 103 FPS. This resolution maintains a high frame rate while leveraging the GPU’s 12 GB memory more fully than 1080p, where the combo exceeds 149 FPS at High but leaves performance on the table relative to the 1440p output.

Q: How does the combo perform at 4K Ultra settings?

A: At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average FPS drops to 39, which is below the 60 FPS target most gamers consider smooth. This is the only measured configuration where the pairing struggles, as the GPU’s 35.17 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 244.2 GPixel/s pixel rate are insufficient for the extreme load at this resolution and preset.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 7400F bottlenecking the RX 7700 XT in this game?

A: Benchmark results indicate the CPU is not a bottleneck at 1080p, where the combo hits 209 FPS at Low settings. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and PassMark single-thread score of 3689 suggest it can keep up with the GPU’s output, as FPS scales consistently when lowering resolution from 1440p to 1080p.

Q: What is the difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, Low settings yield an average of 145 FPS, while Ultra drops to 66 FPS. This represents a 54.5% reduction in frame rate, showing that the Ultra preset’s additional graphical effects (likely increased draw distances and shading complexity) significantly tax the GPU’s 96 ROPs and 216 TMUs.

Q: How does the RX 7700 XT compare to its nearest rivals in raw GPU benchmarks?

A: The RX 7700 XT’s PassMark G3D score of 22547 places it 0.5% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile (22435) and 1.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 (22170). It trails the RTX 4060 Mobile by 0.8% and the RTX 2080 by 1.5%, indicating it sits in a tight performance cluster among these GPUs.

Q: Does the combo’s ranking change with different settings?

A: The comboRankInGame of 1069 out of 2938 reflects the overall tested configuration, but the measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Medium (164 FPS) and 1440p High (103 FPS), the pairing performs above the median. At 4K Ultra (39 FPS), it falls below what most users would consider acceptable, suggesting that ranking is heavily weighted toward mid-range settings.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT serves as the primary driver of Greedfall’s visual output, with its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is particularly relevant for Greedfall, an open-world Action RPG that loads large texture sets and geometric detail across its environments. The measured FPS at 1440p High (103 FPS) versus 1080p High (149 FPS) shows a 30.9% drop when increasing pixel count, which aligns with the GPU’s 2544 MHz boost clock and 2171 MHz game clock delivering consistent throughput. The GPU’s 54 ray tracing cores and RDNA 3.0 architecture are not explicitly tested in this game’s benchmarks, but the data shows that the card’s raw rasterization performance, measured by its 35.17 TFLOPS FP32 output, is sufficient for high-refresh 1440p play.

The GPU’s role becomes more critical at higher settings. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS collapses to 39, which is a 58.9% reduction from 4K Low’s 86 FPS. This dramatic falloff indicates that the Ultra preset’s additional shader complexity and texture filtering, which tax the 216 TMUs and 96 ROPs, exceed what the 12 GB VRAM can efficiently manage at that resolution. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 22547 places it in the 67th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival comparisons show it trading blows with the RTX 5060 Mobile (0.5% faster) and RTX 4060 Mobile (0.8% slower). This clustering suggests the RX 7700 XT is a mid-range performer, and Greedfall’s data reflects that: it handles 1440p High with room to spare but hits a wall at 4K Ultra.

The GPU’s memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s is a key factor in the 1080p to 1440p scaling. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 209 FPS, but at 1440p Low it drops to 145 FPS—a 30.6% reduction that mirrors the pixel count increase from 2.07 million to 3.69 million pixels. This linear scaling suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck at these settings, not the CPU. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth (DDR5 dual-channel) is sufficient to feed the GPU, as evidenced by the fact that lowering resolution from 1440p to 1080p yields immediate FPS gains, which would not occur if the CPU were limiting.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1069 out of 2938 tested combinations in Greedfall, placing it in the 63.6th percentile (calculated from the rank and total combos). This is a solid mid-to-upper tier position, indicating that the Ryzen 5 7400F + RX 7700 XT pairing outperforms the majority of tested systems in this specific title. The rank reflects the combined capabilities of both components; the CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU’s 67th percentile among all GPUs contribute to a composite score that lands above average for this game.

To contextualize this rank, consider the CPU’s nearest rivals. The Ryzen 5 7400F has an average benchmark score of 32750, which is 0.1% higher than the Intel Core i5-14600T (32707) and 0.2% higher than the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (32697). It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H by 0.2% (32812) but leads the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 by 0.3% (32662). This tight clustering means the CPU is delivering performance consistent with other mid-range processors, and in Greedfall, that translates to the 149 FPS at 1080p High and 103 FPS at 1440p High.

The GPU’s ranking further explains the combo’s position. The RX 7700 XT’s PassMark G3D score of 22547 is 0.5% above the RTX 5060 Mobile (22435) and 1.7% above the RX 5700 (22170), but 0.8% below the RTX 4060 Mobile (22729) and 1.5% below the RTX 2080 (22895). In Greedfall, this level of GPU performance is sufficient to hit 164 FPS at 1080p Medium and 114 FPS at 1440p Medium, which are the settings where most users will find the best balance of visual quality and frame rate. The combo’s rank of 1069 out of 2938 means it outperforms roughly 64% of all tested systems, and the measured FPS data confirms that this is a capable 1080p and 1440p machine for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of how this combo performs across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the combo delivers exceptional frame rates: 209 FPS at Low, 164 FPS at Medium, 149 FPS at High, and 95 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset includes min and max values of 140 and 189 FPS, respectively, indicating a stable frame time distribution with no severe dips. The jump from Low to Medium costs 45 FPS (21.5% reduction), while the jump from Medium to High costs another 15 FPS (9.1% reduction), and High to Ultra costs 54 FPS (36.2% reduction). This pattern shows that the Ultra preset at 1080p is disproportionately demanding relative to the visual improvements it likely offers, as the GPU’s 96 ROPs are saturated by the increased pixel shading work.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down predictably but remains playable across all settings. Low produces 145 FPS, Medium 114 FPS (with min/max of 97/131), High 103 FPS, and Ultra 66 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at each setting is consistent: Low loses 64 FPS (30.6% reduction), Medium loses 50 FPS (30.5% reduction), High loses 46 FPS (30.9% reduction), and Ultra loses 29 FPS (30.5% reduction). This uniform scaling across presets strongly indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor, as the same percentage reduction in FPS matches the pixel count increase from 1080p to 1440p (2.07M to 3.69M pixels, a 78% increase in pixels but a 30% FPS drop, suggesting other bottlenecks like memory bandwidth or shading units).

At 3840x2160, the combo begins to struggle. Low settings yield 86 FPS, Medium 68 FPS (with min/max of 58/78), High 62 FPS, and Ultra 39 FPS. The 4K Low to 4K Medium drop is 18 FPS (20.9% reduction), Medium to High is 6 FPS (8.8% reduction), and High to Ultra is 23 FPS (37.1% reduction). The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration where the average FPS falls below 40, making it unplayable for smooth gameplay. The min FPS of 58 at 4K Medium is notable because it indicates that even at this setting, there are moments where the frame rate dips below the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that 4K gaming on this combo requires Low or Medium settings for a consistent experience.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling analysis reveals a clear narrative about which component limits performance in Greedfall. From 1080p to 1440p, the FPS drops by an average of 30.6% across all settings, while the pixel count increases by 78%. This disproportionate reduction (30% FPS loss for 78% more pixels) indicates that the GPU is not purely pixel-bound; other factors such as vertex processing, texture sampling, and draw call overhead also scale with resolution. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s 6 cores and 12 threads, running at a 4.70 GHz boost clock, are likely handling the game’s CPU-side tasks (AI, physics, game logic) without becoming the bottleneck, as evidenced by the consistent FPS scaling.

From 1440p to 4K, the FPS drops by an average of 39.4% across all settings, while the pixel count increases by 125%. This steeper reduction per pixel indicates that the GPU’s memory bandwidth (432.0 GB/s) and fill rate (244.2 GPixel/s) are being saturated at 4K. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient in capacity, but the 192-bit bus is narrower than what higher-tier cards use, leading to bandwidth constraints. At 4K Ultra, the combo’s 39 FPS average is a 58.9% reduction from 4K Low’s 86 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset’s additional memory pressure and shader complexity are the primary culprits. The fact that 4K Low (86 FPS) is playable while 4K High (62 FPS) is borderline suggests that the GPU’s 35.17 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is adequate for basic rendering at 4K, but the extra effects in High and Ultra push it over the edge.

The scaling pattern also reveals that the CPU is not a limiting factor. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see FPS plateaus at higher resolutions where the GPU has more work to do, but the data shows FPS dropping steadily from 1080p to 4K at every setting. For example, at Low settings, the combo goes from 209 FPS (1080p) to 145 FPS (1440p) to 86 FPS (4K), which is a smooth degradation curve that tracks GPU workload. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and PassMark multithread score of 25645 indicate it has ample headroom for Greedfall’s CPU demands, even at 4K where the GPU is clearly the limiting factor.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the user’s resolution and performance priorities. For 1080p gaming, the High preset at 149 FPS average offers the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate. The Ultra preset at 95 FPS is still playable, but the 36.2% FPS drop from High to Ultra yields diminishing returns in visual quality for a significant performance cost. The Medium preset at 164 FPS is an alternative for users who prioritize frame rate above all else, but the jump from Medium to High (15 FPS) is modest compared to the jump from High to Ultra (54 FPS), making High the sweet spot.

For 1440p, the High preset at 103 FPS is the recommended configuration. This provides a smooth, high-refresh experience that takes advantage of the GPU’s 12 GB VRAM and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Medium preset at 114 FPS (with min/max of 97/131) offers a slightly higher frame rate with a small visual compromise, but the 11 FPS difference between Medium and High is not substantial enough to warrant dropping below High for most users. The Ultra preset at 66 FPS is playable but sits close to the 60 FPS threshold, and the 35.9% FPS drop from High to Ultra suggests that the additional settings are too demanding for the GPU’s 96 ROPs at this resolution. Users who experience frame drops in combat scenarios should consider Medium for the extra headroom.

For 4K, the data strongly recommends using Low or Medium settings. The Low preset at 86 FPS is the only configuration that provides a consistently smooth experience above 60 FPS, while Medium at 68 FPS (with min/max of 58/78) is borderline—the min FPS of 58 indicates occasional dips below the refresh rate of standard 60 Hz monitors. The High preset at 62 FPS is technically playable but leaves no margin for error, and Ultra at 39 FPS is not recommended for any scenario. Given that 4K Low still delivers 86 FPS, users with 4K displays should prioritize frame rate stability over visual quality, as the game’s art style likely retains its core appeal even at lower settings. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for 4K textures, but the GPU’s compute throughput (35.17 TFLOPS) and pixel rate (244.2 GPixel/s) are the limiting factors at this resolution.
