# FAQ

Q: What is the average frame rate for this combo at 1080p High settings?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti achieves an average of 151.7 FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings. This represents a substantial performance margin over the 64.7 FPS recorded at 3840x2160 High, indicating strong headroom at lower resolutions.

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

A: The Ryzen 5 7500F has an average benchmark score of 24993, placing it essentially neck-and-neck with the Intel Core i7-11850H (24974, 0.1% ahead) and the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (24897, 0.4% ahead). It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (25057) by 0.3% and the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F (25064) by 0.3%, showing the 7500F sits in a tightly contested performance band.

A: The RTX 3070 Ti holds a percentile rank of 74 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 30849. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700, scores 31112, a 0.8% advantage, while the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME trails by 0.3% at 30755.

Q: What frame rate does the combo deliver at 4K with Ultra settings?

A: At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average FPS drops to 43.6. This is the lowest measured value across all resolution and settings combinations, and it falls below the 60 FPS threshold commonly considered necessary for smooth gameplay.

Q: How does the combo rank among all tested CPU-GPU combinations in Greedfall?

A: The combo ranks 668th out of 1705 tested combinations, placing it in the upper portion of the distribution. This ranking reflects the mid-to-high-tier positioning of both components rather than top-tier dominance.

Q: What is the CPU's multi-threaded performance in Cinebench R23?

A: The Ryzen 5 7500F scores 22799 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, with a single-core score of 3218. The multi-core result demonstrates strong scaling for a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 processor, while the single-core figure highlights its competitive per-thread performance.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA104 chip fabricated on Samsung's 8 nm process. It carries 8 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 256-bit bus, delivering 608.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU's base clock runs at 1575 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, while memory operates at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective). These specifications position the card with 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, alongside 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores.

In Greedfall, the GPU's role is most evident when comparing frame rates across settings at the same resolution. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra drops the average from 214.9 FPS to 99.3 FPS—a reduction of more than half. The same pattern appears at 1440p, where Low delivers 150.5 FPS and Ultra falls to 66.9 FPS. At 4K, the spread tightens: Low yields 88.2 FPS while Ultra manages only 43.6 FPS. This scaling suggests that the RTX 3070 Ti's memory bandwidth and compute resources become increasingly taxed as rendering load grows.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is notable for Greedfall, a 2019 Action RPG. At 4K Ultra, the combination of high-resolution textures and dense geometry likely pressures the memory subsystem. The measured 43.6 FPS average at 4K Ultra indicates the GPU is operating near its practical limit for this title, with the pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s and texture rate of 339.8 GTexel/s proving insufficient to maintain higher frame rates under maximum load. The GPU's FP32 throughput of 21.75 TFLOPS provides the raw compute for the game's effects, but the bandwidth figure of 608.3 GB/s becomes the binding constraint at higher settings.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured data reveals a clear inverse relationship between resolution and frame rate. At 1080p High, the combo averages 151.7 FPS. Moving to 1440p High reduces this to 106.4 FPS, a drop of approximately 30%. At 4K High, the average falls further to 64.7 FPS, representing another 39% reduction from 1440p. This progressive decline indicates that the RTX 3070 Ti is the primary limiting component as pixel count increases.

The Low settings row shows the most dramatic resolution scaling. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 214.9 FPS, which falls to 150.5 FPS at 1440p and 88.2 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low figure is still well above the 60 FPS target, suggesting that even at the highest resolution, the GPU retains enough headroom when graphical effects are minimized. This pattern implies that the CPU—the Ryzen 5 7500F with 6 cores and 12 threads—is not the bottleneck in this title, as frame rates scale consistently with resolution rather than plateauing at lower resolutions.

Ultra settings tell a different story. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 99.3 FPS, which drops to 66.9 FPS at 1440p and 43.6 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result falls below playable thresholds, indicating that this combination cannot sustain smooth performance at maximum settings on 4K displays. The scaling factor from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is approximately 2.3x, meaning the GPU's workload increases roughly proportionally with pixel count while its resources remain fixed.

# Settings Recommendations

For players targeting 60 FPS or higher, the data supports specific choices at each resolution. At 1080p, all four settings presets exceed 99 FPS on average, with High delivering 151.7 FPS and Ultra at 99.3 FPS. The High preset offers a strong balance, providing 52 FPS more than Ultra while still maintaining visual quality above the Low baseline of 214.9 FPS.

At 1440p, the High preset averages 106.4 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium achieves 117.6 FPS, while Ultra drops to 66.9 FPS—still playable but with less margin. Low delivers 150.5 FPS, but the visual trade-off may not justify the additional 44 FPS over High. The recommendation here is High or Medium, depending on whether the user prioritizes visual fidelity or frame rate headroom.

At 4K, the situation becomes more constrained. High averages 64.7 FPS, barely above the 60 FPS line, while Medium reaches 69.5 FPS. Ultra falls to 43.6 FPS, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay. Low provides 88.2 FPS, offering the best performance at this resolution. For 4K users, Medium appears to be the optimal choice—it delivers 69.5 FPS, which is within 5 FPS of High while providing better frame stability, and it avoids the significant drop seen at Ultra.

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti combination ranks 668th out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the 61st percentile of all configurations. This mid-upper positioning is consistent with the individual component rankings: the CPU sits at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU holds the 74th percentile among all GPUs.

The CPU's synthetic benchmark average of 24993 places it within 0.4% of four nearest rivals, indicating that the Ryzen 5 7500F is competitively positioned in its performance class. Its 3DMark scores show strong scaling from 2 threads (1902) to 16 threads (6376), with the max-thread score of 6379 nearly matching the 16-thread result—suggesting the 6-core, 12-thread configuration is well-utilized in threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22799 reinforces this, while the single-core score of 3218 demonstrates solid per-thread efficiency.

The GPU's passmark G3D score of 23356, combined with a 74th percentile ranking, indicates the RTX 3070 Ti performs above the median but below top-tier cards. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700, exceeds it by only 0.8%, while the RX 590 GME trails by 0.3%. The GPU's compute performance, measured at 11601 in passmark GPU compute, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3478, reflect its capability in modern titles.

The combo's rank of 668 suggests that in Greedfall specifically, the pairing performs slightly below what the individual component percentiles might predict. This could be attributed to the game's engine characteristics, which may not fully leverage the CPU's Zen 4 architecture or the GPU's Ampere feature set. The measured frame rates, particularly the 64.7 FPS at 4K High, indicate that the combo is capable of solid performance in this Action RPG, but it does not reach the top tier of tested configurations. The data positions this as a dependable mid-high-range setup for Greedfall, suitable for 1080p and 1440p gaming with high settings, and viable at 4K with adjusted presets.
