Greedfall

Settings Recommendations

The measured frame data for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti shows a clear progression across the four quality presets at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 154.4 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the entire dataset. However, the High preset at 106.4 FPS remains far above the 60 FPS threshold, offering a substantially better visual experience while sacrificing only about 31% of the raw frame rate. The Medium preset sits between these at 120.1 FPS, but High provides the best balance for most users at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the picture remains strong. High produces 73.7 FPS, which is comfortably playable on standard 60 Hz displays and even approaches the refresh rates of many 75 Hz panels. Low reaches 108 FPS, but the jump from Low to High costs only about 32% of the frame rate while delivering markedly improved image quality. Medium lands at 82.6 FPS, but High again represents the sweet spot. At 3840x2160, the situation changes. High drops to 43.8 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target. Low manages 64 FPS, making it the only preset at 4K that clears the 60 FPS bar. Medium sits at 46.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 32 FPS.

The data suggests that High is the optimal preset for 1080p and 1440p, where the RTX 3060 Ti has enough headroom to maintain smooth frame rates. At 4K, however, users should drop to Low to secure playable performance, as the 64 FPS average at Low is the only 4K result above 60 FPS. Ultra is not recommended at any resolution—it delivers 68.4 FPS at 1080p, but the performance penalty relative to High (a drop of about 36%) is significant, and the visual gains in Greedfall are unlikely to justify it. For the best experience per the measured rows, High at 1440p offers the strongest combination of visual fidelity and frame rate, with 73.7 FPS being well within the playable range.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA104 chip manufactured on Samsung's 8 nm process. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1410 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 133.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 253.1 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 16.20 TFLOPS.

In Greedfall, the GPU's role is clearly dominant at higher resolutions. The measured frame rates show that the RTX 3060 Ti's capabilities are strained at 3840x2160, where even High settings produce only 43.8 FPS. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for this game at the tested settings, but the memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s appears to be a limiting factor at 4K, where the gap between Low (64 FPS) and Medium (46.6 FPS) is a substantial 27% drop. At 1440p, the GPU has more headroom, with High reaching 73.7 FPS, and at 1080p it excels, with High at 106.4 FPS.

The RTX 3060 Ti's benchmark scores place it in the 69th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25120. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6700M (score 25180, delta -0.2%), the AMD Radeon RX 6600 (score 25235, delta -0.5%), and the AMD Radeon 890M (score 25246, delta -0.5%). These deltas are all within 0.7% of the RTX 3060 Ti's average score, indicating that the GPU sits in a tightly contested performance band. In Greedfall specifically, the data shows that the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 256-bit memory bus are adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 4K results suggest that users should temper expectations and rely on the Low preset to maintain smooth frame rates.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings combination for this hardware in Greedfall?

A: Based on the measured FPS data, 2560x1440 with High settings provides 73.7 FPS, which is the strongest combination of visual quality and playable frame rate. At 1080p, High reaches 106.4 FPS, and at 4K, Low is the only preset above 60 FPS at 64 FPS.

Q: Can this system handle 4K gaming in Greedfall?

A: Yes, but only with the Low preset, which achieves 64 FPS at 3840x2160. Medium drops to 46.6 FPS, High falls to 43.8 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 32 FPS, so 4K gaming requires significant graphical compromises.

Q: How does the RTX 3060 Ti compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RTX 3060 Ti has an average benchmark score of 25120, placing it in the 69th percentile. Its closest competitor, the AMD Radeon RX 6700M, scores 25180, a delta of -0.2%, meaning the RTX 3060 Ti is effectively tied with these rivals in synthetic benchmarks.

Q: Is the Ultra preset worth using in Greedfall?

A: No. At 1080p, Ultra delivers 68.4 FPS versus 106.4 FPS on High, a 36% performance penalty. At 1440p, Ultra falls to 48.6 FPS, and at 4K it drops to 32 FPS, making it unplayable at higher resolutions.

Q: What is the CPU's benchmark standing relative to other processors?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F has an average benchmark score of 24993, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11850H, scores 24974, a delta of 0.1%, showing they are statistically indistinguishable.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU at any resolution?

A: The data suggests the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, where frame rates drop sharply. At 1080p and 1440p, the CPU's strong single-thread performance (3dmark_single_thread score of 974) likely keeps the system balanced, but the measured FPS data alone does not isolate CPU versus GPU bottlenecks.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F combined with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti achieves a rank of 1222 out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall. This places the pairing in approximately the 28th percentile of all tested combinations, meaning about 72% of tested systems deliver higher average frame rates in this game. The rank reflects the mid-range positioning of the RTX 3060 Ti, which sits in the 69th percentile of all GPUs, paired with a strong CPU that ranks in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs.

The CPU's performance is notably higher relative to its peers than the GPU's. The Ryzen 5 7500F's average benchmark score of 24993 puts it just 0.1% above the Intel Core i7-11850H (score 24974) and 0.3% above the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (score 25057), while the RTX 3060 Ti's average score of 25120 is 0.2% below the AMD Radeon RX 6700M (score 25180). This imbalance suggests that the GPU is the primary constraint on the combo's overall rank in Greedfall, which is consistent with the measured FPS data showing steep drops at 4K resolutions.

The combo's rank of 1222 out of 1705 indicates that while this system is capable of solid 1080p and 1440p performance, it falls behind many higher-end configurations in this game. The measured frame rates at 1440p High (73.7 FPS) and 1080p High (106.4 FPS) are respectable, but the 4K results (43.8 FPS at High) pull the overall standing down. Users seeking higher ranks would need a more powerful GPU, as the CPU's 82nd percentile standing suggests it is not the limiting factor.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael) on a 5 nm process from TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and it connects via PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU, given the game's Action RPG nature. The Ryzen 5 7500F's benchmark results show strong single-thread performance, with a 3dmark_single_thread score of 974 and a cinebench_r23_singlecore score of 3218. Multi-threaded performance is also solid, with a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 22799 and a 3dmark_max_threads score of 6379. These scores indicate the CPU can handle the game's logic and AI without becoming a bottleneck at the tested resolutions.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 24993 places it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, with its nearest rivals being the Intel Core i7-11850H (score 24974, delta 0.1%) and the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (score 25057, delta -0.3%). These deltas are minimal, indicating the Ryzen 5 7500F performs on par with these processors in synthetic benchmarks. In Greedfall, the measured FPS data shows that the system's frame rates scale predictably with resolution and settings, suggesting the CPU is not the limiting factor—the GPU's 69th percentile ranking is more likely the constraint. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are well-suited for Greedfall's workload, and the 32 MB L3 cache helps maintain smooth performance in action-heavy scenes.
