Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers a versatile experience in Greedfall, with performance scaling predictably across its four quality presets. For players targeting high refresh rate monitors, the High preset offers the optimal balance of visual fidelity and frame throughput, while the Ultra preset remains viable for those prioritizing image quality over raw speed.

Settings Recommendations

Benchmark results indicate that the High preset provides the most consistent experience across all tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, High delivers 208.7 FPS average, which is more than sufficient for any high-refresh-rate display. The jump from High to Ultra at this resolution costs 76.6 FPS (down to 132.1 FPS), a substantial penalty that yields diminishing visual returns in a 2019 Action RPG. Similarly, at 2560x1440, High produces 143.8 FPS, comfortably above the 120Hz threshold, while Ultra drops to 95.1 FPS, still playable but sacrificing the fluidity that the lower preset provides.

The Medium preset serves as a middle ground, producing 231.8 FPS at 1080p and 156.5 FPS at 1440p. For 4K gaming, High remains the recommended choice with 85.4 FPS, which is smoother than Medium’s 97.5 FPS? No—actually, Medium is slightly faster than High at 4K, which is an anomaly in the data. This inversion suggests that High may enable certain effects that Medium disables, creating a non-linear performance curve. Given this, Medium at 4K offers the better experience at 97.5 FPS versus High’s 85.4 FPS. Ultra at 4K falls to 53.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target and should be avoided unless players accept the compromise.

How This Combo Ranks

The Ryzen 5 7500F and RTX 4070 Ti combination ranks 240th out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the top 14% of all configurations. This percentile ranking reflects a strong pairing that outperforms the vast majority of systems in this database. The CPU itself sits at the 82nd percentile against all processors, while the GPU achieves the 85th percentile against all graphics cards, indicating that neither component is a significant bottleneck in this title.

When examining the CPU’s nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 7500F shows a deltaPct of 0.1% against the Intel Core i7-11850H, meaning they are effectively tied in average benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X trails by -0.3%, and the Ryzen 5 8400F also trails by -0.3%. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX leads the 7500F by 0.4%. These margins are negligible in real-world gaming, confirming that the 7500F’s six cores and twelve threads are sufficient for Greedfall’s engine.

The GPU’s nearest rivals show more variance. The RTX 4070 Ti trails the RTX 5090 Mobile by -0.6% and the Intel Arc A730M by -1.5%, while leading the AMD Radeon Pro 580 by 1.6% and the Radeon Pro 5500 XT by -1.6%. The 4070 Ti’s 85th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms its position as a high-end desktop part, and the combo’s 240th rank reflects that this pairing is well-matched for the game’s demands.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit bus, yielding 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This capacity proves adequate for Greedfall at all tested settings, even at 3840x2160 Ultra, where the frame rate drops to 53.1 FPS but remains stable without memory-related stutter. The GPU’s base clock of 2310 MHz boosts to 2610 MHz, and the memory operates at 1313 MHz, translating to 21 Gbps effective. These clocks are responsible for the card’s 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which drives the pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s.

The 4070 Ti’s 80 ROPs and 240 TMUs handle Greedfall’s geometry and texture workloads efficiently. The card’s 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores are present but unused in this title, as Greedfall does not implement ray tracing. The GPU’s 285 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU rating indicate a power-hungry part, but the benchmark data shows no thermal throttling indicators, as frame rates scale consistently with resolution and settings changes. The 12 GB VRAM is never saturated at 1080p or 1440p, and even at 4K Ultra, the game remains within the memory budget, as evidenced by the playable 53.1 FPS average.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 Ti demonstrates headroom that suggests the CPU becomes the limiting factor at lower settings. Low settings produce 290.4 FPS, while Medium yields 231.8 FPS, High drops to 208.7 FPS, and Ultra settles at 132.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 58.6 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 76.6 FPS, showing that Ultra imposes a significant load. The 1080p numbers indicate that for 144Hz monitors, High or lower settings are required, while Ultra is best paired with a 120Hz display.

At 2560x1440, the performance curve shifts downward. Low produces 202.6 FPS, Medium 156.5 FPS, High 143.8 FPS, and Ultra 95.1 FPS. The delta between Low and Medium is 46.1 FPS, and between High and Ultra is 48.7 FPS. This resolution is the sweet spot for the combo, as High settings hit 143.8 FPS, which is just above the 144Hz refresh rate target. Ultra at 95.1 FPS remains smooth for 100Hz monitors, though the drop below 100 FPS may be noticeable to sensitive users.

At 3840x2160, the data reveals an unusual pattern. Low produces 118.1 FPS, Medium 97.5 FPS, High 85.4 FPS, and Ultra 53.1 FPS. The Medium preset outperforms High by 12.1 FPS, which is counterintuitive. This suggests that High enables certain effects that are more demanding than those in Medium, or that the game’s preset scaling is not linear. For 4K gamers, Medium is the best choice at 97.5 FPS, while High remains playable at 85.4 FPS. Ultra at 53.1 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold and should only be used for screenshot purposes or if the player prioritizes visuals over smoothness.

The overall trend shows that the combo scales well from 1080p to 1440p, with a steeper drop at 4K. The 1080p Low result of 290.4 FPS is the highest recorded, while the 4K Ultra result of 53.1 FPS is the lowest. This 237.3 FPS spread across the resolution and settings matrix demonstrates the GPU’s capability range.
