Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a capable 1080p and 1440p experience in Greedfall, though the data reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution climbs. At 1080p, the combination produces triple-digit frame rates across most settings, but the 4K results show a significant performance cliff that points directly at the GPU as the limiting factor. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS data, contextualizes the combo's standing among 3,703 tested configurations, and offers practical guidance based strictly on the provided benchmark results.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows how Greedfall scales from 1080p to 4K with this hardware. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo averages 180 FPS, which drops to 125 FPS at 2560x1440 and then falls to 74 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 59% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, a steep decline that indicates the GPU is being pushed to its limits at higher resolutions.

Moving to High settings, the pattern repeats: 128 FPS at 1080p, 89 FPS at 1440p, and 53 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K here is 40%, while the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 30%. This progressive scaling loss suggests that the RTX 4060's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus become increasingly strained as pixel count rises.

The Medium preset provides the most complete data, including min and max FPS values. At 1080p Medium, the average is 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 and maximum of 163. At 1440p Medium, the average falls to 98 FPS (min 83, max 113), and at 4K Medium it drops to 58 FPS (min 50, max 67). The 4K Medium result shows a 59% reduction from the 1080p Medium figure, which underscores the GPU-bound nature of high-resolution rendering.

Ultra settings tell a similar story but with lower absolute numbers. At 1080p Ultra, the combo averages 82 FPS; at 1440p Ultra, it drops to 57 FPS; and at 4K Ultra, it falls to just 34 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is below the 50 FPS threshold that many players consider a minimum for smooth gameplay, indicating that this preset is not viable at that resolution.

The scaling pattern across all four presets reveals that the Ryzen 5 7400F is not the primary constraint. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz provide ample headroom for Greedfall's engine at lower resolutions, but the RTX 4060's compute capabilities begin to saturate as resolution increases. The data shows a consistent 40-59% performance drop when moving from 1440p to 4K, which is characteristic of a GPU-limited scenario.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 128 FPS average, which is a strong balance of visual fidelity and performance. The Ultra preset at 82 FPS is also playable, but the additional graphical features may not justify the 36% performance drop from High. For players with 144 Hz or higher refresh rate monitors, the Medium preset at 141 FPS provides the best combination of smoothness and visual quality.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 89 FPS is the recommended choice. It maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while offering better image quality than Medium (98 FPS) or Low (125 FPS). The Ultra preset at 57 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold)Skip, so it should be avoided unless the user prioritizes maximum visual fidelity over frame rate consistency.

For 3840x2160, the data shows that only the Low preset (74 FPS average) provides a consistently playable experience. The Medium preset at 58 FPS is borderline, with a minimum of 50 FPS that may cause noticeable stuttering in demanding scenes. High and Ultra at 53 FPS and 34 FPS respectively are not recommended for 4K gaming with this hardware.

The Medium preset includes the only min/max data in the pack, showing a tight range at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the range is 120-163 FPS; at 1440p Medium, it is 83-113 FPS; and at 4K Medium, it is 50-67 FPS. This consistent frame pacing suggests that the Medium preset is well-optimized for this hardware combination.

How This Combo Ranks

The combined AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 configuration ranks 2,006th out of 3,703 tested combos in Greedfall. This places the system in the 54th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning roughly half of the tested combos perform better and half perform worse. Given that the GPU sits in the 61st percentile among all GPUs and the CPU sits in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, the combined ranking is lower than either component's individual percentile.

This discrepancy suggests that Greedfall's performance is more heavily influenced by GPU capabilities than CPU strength. The RTX 4060's 61st percentile ranking pulls the overall combo down despite the CPU's strong 83rd percentile showing. The GPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 780M, which is an integrated graphics solution, and older discrete cards like the Radeon Pro 560 and Pro 460, indicating that the RTX 4060 competes in a crowded mid-range segment.

The rank of 2,006 out of 3,703 also reflects the fact that many high-end GPUs and CPUs tested in the database will outpace this mid-range configuration. However, the measured FPS data shows that this combo handles Greedfall well at 1080p and 1440p, which is the target market for these components. The ranking should be interpreted in the context of the entire database, which includes flagship hardware that costs significantly more.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael) built on TSMC's 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is ample for gaming workloads.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 7400F scores 21,765 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3,072 in single-core. Its Passmark single-thread score is 3,689 and multi-thread score is 25,645. These numbers place it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32,750. The nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-14600T (32,707, 0.1% behind) and the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (32,697, 0.2% behind), showing that the 7400F is competitively positioned.

For Greedfall specifically, the CPU's strong single-thread performance is relevant because the game's engine relies heavily on a few primary threads. The 4.70 GHz boost clock and Zen 4 architecture provide the necessary instruction throughput to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 4060 at 1080p, where the measured FPS reaches 180 at Low settings. At higher resolutions, the CPU's role diminishes as the GPU becomes the limiting factor, which is evident from the scaling patterns discussed earlier.

The CPU also demonstrates strong multi-threaded capabilities with a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 9,141 and a Passmark integer math score of 74,745. While Greedfall may not fully utilize all 12 threads, the headroom ensures consistent frame pacing, as evidenced by the tight min/max ranges at Medium settings across all resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is as follows:

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 180 FPS average
• Medium: 141 FPS average (min 120, max 163)
• High: 128 FPS average
• Ultra: 82 FPS average

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 125 FPS average
• Medium: 98 FPS average (min 83, max 113)
• High: 89 FPS average
• Ultra: 57 FPS average

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 74 FPS average
• Medium: 58 FPS average (min 50, max 67)
• High: 53 FPS average
• Ultra: 34 FPS average

The data reveals a clear pattern: at each resolution, the Low preset delivers the highest frame rates, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra being the most demanding. The Medium preset is the only one with full min/max data, showing that frame times are relatively stable. At 1080p Medium, the range spans 120-163 FPS, a 43 FPS spread; at 1440p Medium, the range narrows to 83-113 FPS, a 30 FPS spread; and at 4K Medium, the range tightens to 50-67 FPS, a 17 FPS spread.

The performance gap between Low and Ultra grows as resolution increases. At 1080p, Low (180 FPS) is 119% faster than Ultra (82 FPS). At 1440p, Low (125 FPS) is 119% faster than Ultra (57 FPS). At 4K, Low (74 FPS) is 118% faster than Ultra (34 FPS). This consistent relative gap indicates that the graphical settings have a similar impact on GPU load regardless of resolution.

The transition from 1080p to 1440p at High settings results in a 30% performance drop (128 to 89 FPS), while the transition from 1440p to 4K at High settings results in a 40% drop (89 to 53 FPS). This progressive degradation confirms that the RTX 4060's memory bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s and 8 GB VRAM capacity become increasingly inadequate as pixel count increases, making the GPU the definitive bottleneck at 4K.
