Greedfall

# AMD Ryzen 5 7500F + AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT in Greedfall

This pairing combines AMD's 6-core Zen 4 desktop processor with the RDNA 3-based RX 7800 XT, and the measured results in Greedfall show a combo that handles 1080p and 1440p with ease while remaining playable at 4K on most presets. The Ryzen 5 7500F, with its 5.00 GHz boost clock and 32 MB shared L3 cache, sits in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, while the RX 7800 XT's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth place it in the 76th percentile of all GPUs. Together, they deliver a balanced experience across all tested resolutions, though the scaling patterns reveal where each component takes the lead.

FAQ

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

A: The data shows 1440p High as the sweet spot, delivering 111 FPS average. At 1080p High you get 161.1 FPS, while 4K High drops to 63.9 FPS. The 1440p result keeps you well above 100 FPS while offering significantly more detail than 1080p.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 5 7500F scores 24,993 average across all benchmark tests, placing it 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-11850H (24,974) and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (24,897). It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X by 0.3% (25,057) and the Ryzen 5 8400F by 0.3% (25,064).

Q: What is the GPU's standing relative to other graphics cards?

A: The RX 7800 XT averages 32,619 in benchmarks, putting it 0.2% ahead of the AMD FirePro S9300 X2 (32,540) and 0.7% ahead of the AMD FirePro S10000 (32,388). It sits 0.4% behind the NVIDIA P104-100 (32,747) and 0.7% behind the NVIDIA T600 Mobile (32,849).

Q: Does this combo handle Ultra settings well?

A: Ultra settings are playable at all three resolutions, but with caveats. At 1080p you get 104.7 FPS, at 1440p it drops to 67.6 FPS, and at 4K Ultra the average falls to 43 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration that dips below 60 FPS.

Q: How much performance does the CPU's single-thread score contribute?

A: The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 974 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,218 indicate strong per-core performance. This matters in Greedfall's action RPG combat, where the data shows 1080p Low hitting 225.5 FPS, suggesting the CPU can feed the GPU well at lower resolutions.

Q: Is there a large gap between Low and Ultra settings?

A: Yes, the gap is substantial. At 1080p, Low delivers 225.5 FPS versus 104.7 FPS at Ultra, a difference of 120.8 FPS. At 1440p the spread is 154.9 to 67.6 FPS, and at 4K it narrows to 94.3 versus 43 FPS.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 7800 XT brings 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, with memory clocks running at 2438 MHz (19.5 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 624.1 GB/s. The GPU's boost clock reaches 2430 MHz, with a game clock of 2124 MHz. These specifications translate directly to Greedfall's measured frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions where memory bandwidth and capacity become more critical.

The GPU's role becomes evident when comparing 4K results across settings. At 4K Low, the combo achieves 94.3 FPS, which drops to 73.1 FPS at Medium, 63.9 FPS at High, and 43 FPS at Ultra. This 51.3 FPS swing between Low and Ultra at 4K shows the GPU being pushed progressively harder as visual fidelity increases. The 16 GB frame buffer prevents memory capacity from being a limiting factor, even at 4K Ultra where the game still runs, albeit at 43 FPS.

The RX 7800 XT's 37.32 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 583.2 GTexel/s texture rate support these results. With 3,840 shading units and 96 ROPs, the card handles Greedfall's rendering demands across the board. The GPU's 76th percentile ranking among all GPUs aligns with its performance class, and the measured data confirms it can drive high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p while remaining functional at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that transitions from CPU-bound at lower resolutions to GPU-bound at higher ones. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 225.5 FPS, a figure that suggests the Ryzen 5 7500F is doing most of the work to keep frames high. Dropping to 1440p Low reduces this to 154.9 FPS, and 4K Low yields 94.3 FPS. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is 58.2%, indicating the GPU is increasingly taxed as pixel count rises.

At High settings, the progression goes from 161.1 FPS at 1080p to 111 FPS at 1440p (a 31.1% reduction) and then to 63.9 FPS at 4K (a 42.4% reduction from 1440p). The steeper drop between 1440p and 4K compared to 1080p to 1440p suggests the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases. The Ultra preset tells a similar story: 104.7 FPS at 1080p, 67.6 FPS at 1440p, and 43 FPS at 4K.

This scaling pattern indicates that at 1080p, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads with a 5.00 GHz boost clock are sufficient to push very high frame rates, even at Ultra where the GPU still manages 104.7 FPS. At 4K, however, the GPU's compute resources and memory bandwidth become the limiting factor, as evidenced by the 43 FPS Ultra result.

How This Combo Ranks

The Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the RX 7800 XT ranks 635th out of 1,705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the top 37.2% of all configurations. This mid-pack ranking reflects the balance between the CPU's 82nd percentile standing and the GPU's 76th percentile position. The rank is not higher because Greedfall's engine appears to favor configurations with more GPU headroom at higher resolutions, while the CPU's strong single-thread performance keeps it competitive at lower settings.

Relative to other combos, this pairing outperforms 1,070 tested configurations and trails 634 others in this specific game. The ranking suggests that while neither component is at the absolute top of its respective benchmark charts, their combination produces solid, consistent frame rates across all tested settings. The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks—the Core i7-11850H and Ryzen 9 6900HX—are mobile parts, which highlights the 7500F's efficiency as a desktop chip, while the GPU's rivals are largely workstation or older cards, underscoring its mainstream gaming focus.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 225.5 FPS average, Medium yields 173.4 FPS, High reaches 161.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 104.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 120.8 FPS, showing that even the most demanding preset remains well above 100 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results remain strong. Low settings average 154.9 FPS, Medium achieves 120.1 FPS, High hits 111 FPS, and Ultra falls to 67.6 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 87.3 FPS, with the Ultra preset still maintaining playable frame rates above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes more constrained. Low settings average 94.3 FPS, Medium reaches 73.1 FPS, High delivers 63.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 43 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only tested configuration that falls below 60 FPS, making it the sole setting where smooth gameplay may be compromised. The 4K Medium and High results both stay above 60 FPS, providing viable options for 4K displays.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K displays, High settings at 63.9 FPS offer the best balance between visual quality and performance. Medium at 73.1 FPS is a viable alternative if you prefer higher frame rates, while 4K Ultra at 43 FPS should be avoided unless you prioritize maximum detail over smoothness. The data suggests that 4K users should stick with High or Medium presets to stay above the 60 FPS threshold.

For 1440p, Ultra settings at 67.6 FPS are playable and provide the full visual experience. If you have a high-refresh-rate monitor, High at 111 FPS or Medium at 120.1 FPS will better utilize your display's capabilities. The 154.9 FPS Low preset is excessive for most users but demonstrates the combo's headroom at this resolution.

At 1080p, every preset delivers excellent performance, with even the most demanding Ultra setting reaching 104.7 FPS. For competitive play or high-refresh-rate displays, Low at 225.5 FPS or Medium at 173.4 FPS are the best choices. For general play, High at 161.1 FPS offers a strong balance of visuals and speed. The 1080p results indicate the CPU is the primary driver at this resolution, so users with 144 Hz or 240 Hz monitors can fully exploit this combination.
