Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers a compelling 1080p and 1440p experience in Greedfall, but the data reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution climbs. At 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 59 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s raw throughput becomes the primary constraint, while at 1080p Low, the frame rate reaches 316 FPS, a figure that far exceeds what most displays can show. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS data, compares the combo’s standing against other tested configurations, and examines the individual roles of the CPU and GPU.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Greedfall shows a predictable but steep decline as resolution increases, with the magnitude of that decline heavily dependent on the selected graphics settings. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 316 FPS at 1920x1080 to 219 FPS at 2560x1440, a drop of 97 FPS, and then to 131 FPS at 3840x2160, representing a further 88 FPS decline. This scaling pattern suggests that at Low settings, the system is capable of producing extremely high frame rates at lower resolutions, but the GPU’s workload grows substantially as pixel count increases, pulling the average down by roughly 59% from 1080p to 4K.

For Medium settings, the frame rate at 1080p is 248 FPS, which decreases to 172 FPS at 1440p and then to 103 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 76 FPS, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 69 FPS, showing a relatively consistent degradation per resolution step. Interestingly, the Medium preset at 4K also provides the only min and max FPS data points in the entire set, with a minimum of 87 FPS and a maximum of 118 FPS, indicating that the frame time variance is moderate at this setting, but the average still remains above 100 FPS.

High settings follow a similar trajectory, with 225 FPS at 1080p, 156 FPS at 1440p, and 93 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is about 59%, which mirrors the Low setting’s relative decline, though the absolute numbers are lower. At Ultra settings, the performance ceiling is significantly reduced: 144 FPS at 1080p, 100 FPS at 1440p, and just 59 FPS at 4K. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is 34 FPS, which is larger than the gap between Medium and High at the same resolution (10 FPS), highlighting that the Ultra preset imposes a heavy additional load on the GPU.

The scaling data suggests that the limiting component changes with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU becomes more relevant, as evidenced by the fact that even at Ultra settings, the frame rate remains at 144 FPS, which is still high but below the 225 FPS seen at High settings. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, since the frame rate at Ultra drops to 59 FPS, a value that is below the 60 FPS threshold that many users consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. The RTX 4080 SUPER’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this game’s demands, but the sheer pixel workload at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings pushes the GPU to its limits.

Another observation is that the frame rate scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution is not linear. At 1080p, the range spans from 316 FPS (Low) down to 144 FPS (Ultra), a difference of 172 FPS. At 1440p, the range is from 219 FPS to 100 FPS, a difference of 119 FPS. At 4K, the range is from 131 FPS to 59 FPS, a difference of 72 FPS. This narrowing range indicates that at higher resolutions, the GPU’s performance ceiling becomes the dominant factor, and the impact of graphics settings shrinks in absolute terms, even though the relative impact remains significant.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Greedfall covers three resolutions and four settings, providing a comprehensive view of performance. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are 316 FPS for Low, 248 FPS for Medium, 225 FPS for High, and 144 FPS for Ultra. The Medium setting includes a minimum of 211 FPS and a maximum of 285 FPS, showing that even at this lower resolution, there is some frame time variance, but the average remains exceptionally high. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 172 FPS, which demonstrates that the graphics settings have a substantial impact on performance when the resolution is not the primary constraint.

At 2560x1440, the average frame rates decrease to 219 FPS for Low, 172 FPS for Medium, 156 FPS for High, and 100 FPS for Ultra. The Medium setting records a minimum of 146 FPS and a maximum of 198 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across all settings, averaging around 30%, but the absolute difference is larger for Low (97 FPS) than for Ultra (44 FPS). This suggests that at Ultra settings, the GPU is already heavily loaded at 1080p, so the additional pixel count at 1440p has a smaller absolute impact.

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are 131 FPS for Low, 103 FPS for Medium, 93 FPS for High, and 59 FPS for Ultra. The Medium setting records a minimum of 87 FPS and a maximum of 118 FPS. This resolution is where the GPU’s limits become apparent, especially at Ultra, where the average falls below 60 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is 34 FPS, which is the largest gap between consecutive settings at any resolution, indicating that the Ultra preset includes effects that are particularly demanding at high pixel counts.

Across the entire dataset, the best performance is achieved at 1080p Low with 316 FPS, while the worst is at 4K Ultra with 59 FPS. The data also shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions, as the frame rates exceed 200 FPS at 1080p for all settings except Ultra. At 4K, the GPU’s workload dominates, and even the RTX 4080 SUPER, with its 16 GB of memory and 2550 MHz boost clock, cannot maintain 60 FPS at the highest settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER plays a decisive role in Greedfall’s performance, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, along with 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. Its boost clock runs at 2550 MHz, and it has a base clock of 2295 MHz. The memory subsystem consists of 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. These specifications translate into a pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 52.22 TFLOPS.

In the context of Greedfall, the GPU’s 16 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for the game’s requirements, even at 4K with Ultra settings. The data shows that the frame rate at 4K Ultra is 59 FPS, which is a borderline result for smooth gameplay. This suggests that while the VRAM capacity is not a limiting factor, the GPU’s raw compute power is stretched by the combination of high resolution and high settings. The RTX 4080 SUPER’s average benchmark score of 54209 places it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival, the RTX 4080, scores nearly identically at 54247 with a deltaPct of -0.1. This indicates that the SUPER variant offers no meaningful advantage over the original RTX 4080 in synthetic tests, and the same appears to hold true in Greedfall, where the frame rates are consistent with what a high-end Ada Lovelace GPU would deliver.

The GPU’s performance scaling across resolutions is typical for a high-end card. At 1080p, the GPU is often underutilized, as evidenced by frame rates exceeding 300 FPS at Low settings. At 1440p, the frame rates remain high, with the Low setting reaching 219 FPS and Ultra reaching 100 FPS. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, with the frame rate at Ultra dropping to 59 FPS, a 59% reduction from 1080p. This pattern aligns with the GPU’s role as the primary driver of pixel processing, and the data suggests that users who prioritize 4K gaming will need to adjust settings to achieve higher frame rates.

The RTX 4080 SUPER’s power requirements are notable, with a TDP of 320 W and a suggested PSU of 700 W, but these figures are not directly reflected in the FPS data. The GPU’s end-of-life production status and its launch MSRP of 999 USD are also facts from the pack, but they do not influence the measured performance. In summary, the GPU is the dominant component at 4K, while at 1080p and 1440p, it provides ample headroom for high frame rates across all settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. It has a TDP of 65 W and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The CPU’s cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3. In synthetic benchmarks, the 7400F scores 21765 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3072 in single-core, with an average benchmark score of 32750 and a percentile rank of 83 against all CPUs.

In Greedfall, the CPU’s role is most apparent at lower resolutions, where the GPU is not fully saturated. At 1080p Low, the frame rate reaches 316 FPS, which is a clear indication that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to achieve very high frame rates. The fact that the frame rate at 1080p Ultra is 144 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it is 59 FPS, suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the GPU’s workload increases disproportionately. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for this game, which was released in 2019 and does not appear to heavily utilize more than a few cores.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the Intel Core i5-14600T, which scores 32707 with a deltaPct of 0.1, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, which scores 32812 with a deltaPct of -0.2. These differences are within 0.3%, meaning that the 7400F’s performance is statistically similar to these other processors. This is relevant because it suggests that in CPU-bound scenarios, such as 1080p gaming with a powerful GPU, the choice between these CPUs would have a negligible impact on frame rates.

The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s and dual-channel DDR5 support are adequate for Greedfall, as the game does not appear to require excessive memory throughput. The L3 cache of 32 MB is shared across all cores, which can help with game logic and asset streaming, but the measured FPS data does not show any obvious signs of stuttering or frame drops that would indicate CPU bottlenecks. At 1440p and 4K, the CPU’s influence diminishes, as the GPU becomes the primary determinant of performance. Overall, the Ryzen 5 7400F provides a solid foundation for this combo, enabling high frame rates at lower resolutions without becoming a significant bottleneck at higher ones.
