How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D combination holds the #1 position among 2,938 tested combos for Greedfall. This top ranking is not marginal — the measured FPS data shows this pairing outperforms the vast majority of systems by a substantial margin. The 77th percentile CPU ranking and 92nd percentile GPU ranking combine to create a system that sits at the very apex of gaming performance for this title.

The CPU's synthetic benchmark average of 24,964 places it nearly identical to its nearest rivals: 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-11850H (24,935), 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13620H (24,911), and 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core 5 210H (24,872). The only rival it trails is the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F (25,005), by a negligible 0.2%. This clustering means the CPU is not a differentiator in this combo — the GPU carries the performance crown.

The GPU's 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,712, places it in elite territory. Its nearest rivals — the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904, 1.1% behind) and AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, 1.6% ahead) — show that compute performance is competitive but not class-leading. However, in actual Greedfall gameplay, the measured FPS at all resolutions and settings confirms the top combo ranking is well-earned.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant force in this pairing. Built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB202 chip at 5 nm, this GPU packs 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output pipelines. The 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores provide substantial compute headroom, though Greedfall's 2019 release means these features are not heavily utilized.

Memory specifications are crucial for Greedfall's performance at high resolutions. The GPU's 32 GB GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus delivers 1.79 TB/s bandwidth — more than enough for this Action RPG. The base clock of 2017 MHz and boost clock of 2407 MHz, combined with a 575 W TDP, indicate a high-power design that sustains performance under load. The pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s translate directly to the high frame counts observed.

The measured FPS data demonstrates how the GPU scales with settings. At 4K, the jump from Low (159 FPS) to Medium (125 FPS) costs 21% performance, while High (113 FPS) costs another 10%. Ultra (72 FPS) is 55% below Low. This steep decline from Low to Ultra indicates that Greedfall's highest preset applies demanding effects that stress the GPU's shading and rasterization capabilities. The 32 GB frame buffer is never a limiting factor — even at 4K Ultra, the game runs at 72 FPS, a playable level.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1080p Results:

• Low: 383 FPS average
• Medium: 301 FPS average (min 256, max 346)
• High: 273 FPS average
• Ultra: 175 FPS average

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers extraordinary performance. Low settings produce 383 FPS, which is 27% higher than Medium's 301 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 9%, while Ultra imposes a 36% penalty over High. The Medium preset shows a min FPS of 256 and max of 346, indicating a stable frame delivery with a 90 FPS range.

1440p Results:

• Low: 266 FPS average
• Medium: 209 FPS average (min 178, max 240)
• High: 190 FPS average
• Ultra: 121 FPS average

At 2560x1440, performance remains exceptional. Low settings produce 266 FPS, while Medium drops 21% to 209 FPS. High is another 9% lower at 190 FPS. Ultra's 121 FPS represents a 36% reduction from High. The Medium preset's min/max of 178/240 FPS shows a 62 FPS variance, demonstrating consistent delivery.

4K Results:

• Low: 159 FPS average
• Medium: 125 FPS average (min 106, max 143)
• High: 113 FPS average
• Ultra: 72 FPS average

At 3840x2160, the combo still delivers high frame rates. Low settings hit 159 FPS, Medium drops 21% to 125 FPS, and High falls another 10% to 113 FPS. Ultra's 72 FPS is 36% below High. The Medium preset shows a 37 FPS range (106-143), indicating some variability but still smooth gameplay.

Resolution Scaling: Moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by roughly 31% across settings (383 to 266 on Low, 301 to 209 on Medium, 273 to 190 on High, 175 to 121 on Ultra). Moving from 1440p to 4K reduces performance by another 40% (266 to 159 on Low, 209 to 125 on Medium, 190 to 113 on High, 121 to 72 on Ultra). The consistent scaling pattern shows the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F provides the computational foundation for this combo. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 (Raphael) architecture at 5 nm, this CPU operates at a 3.70 GHz base clock and 5.00 GHz boost clock. The 65 W TDP and dual-channel DDR5 memory support (83.2 GB/s bandwidth) make it an efficient mid-range processor.

Synthetic benchmarks show a capable multi-threaded performer: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 22,799 and single-core 3,218. Geekbench results are 12,362 multi-core and 2,374 single-core. The 3DMark tests reveal scaling from 1,902 (2-thread) to 6,376 (16-thread) and 6,379 (max-thread), indicating efficient thread utilization. PassMark multi-thread score of 26,825 and single-thread of 3,841 round out the picture.

The CPU's 77th percentile ranking places it above average but not elite. However, in Greedfall, the CPU is not the limiting factor. At 1080p Low (383 FPS), the CPU must feed frames at an extremely high rate, yet the measured results show it keeps up. The 32 MB shared L3 cache and per-core L1 (64 KB) and L2 (1 MB) caches provide sufficient memory hierarchy for game logic and physics calculations.

The nearest CPU rivals — Intel Core i7-11850H, AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, Intel Core i7-13620H, and Intel Core 5 210H — all score within 0.4% of the Ryzen 5 7500F in average benchmark score. This tight clustering means that swapping the CPU for any of these would likely produce identical Greedfall frame rates. The combo's #1 ranking is therefore attributable to the RTX 5090 D's overwhelming GPU performance rather than CPU superiority.

Settings Recommendations

For the optimal Greedfall experience with this combo, the data supports specific settings choices based on display refresh rate and resolution preference.

At 1920x1080: Ultra settings (175 FPS) are the clear recommendation. Even with the 36% penalty over High, 175 FPS exceeds any current display's refresh rate. If a 360 Hz monitor is in use, High (273 FPS) or Medium (301 FPS) become viable, but the visual quality gain from Ultra is worth the frame rate trade-off. Low (383 FPS) offers no practical benefit unless chasing maximum frame rates.

At 2560x1440: Ultra (121 FPS) is recommended for most users, as it clears the 120 Hz refresh rate threshold. For 144 Hz or 165 Hz displays, High (190 FPS) provides a better fit with only a 36% visual quality reduction. Medium (209 FPS) is an option for competitive play, but the difference from High is minimal in frame rate terms (10%).

At 3840x2160: The choice depends on display capability. For 60 Hz displays, Ultra (72 FPS) is the best choice — it exceeds 60 FPS and provides maximum visual fidelity. For 120 Hz displays, High (113 FPS) is necessary, sacrificing 36% of Ultra's visual quality but delivering 57% more frame rate. Medium (125 FPS) and Low (159 FPS) are only relevant for 144 Hz+ 4K displays, which are rare. The Medium preset's min FPS of 106 ensures it stays above 100 FPS consistently.

General Guidance: The consistent 42% performance penalty from Medium to Ultra across all resolutions indicates that Greedfall's Ultra preset applies heavy post-processing or shadow effects. Users prioritizing frame rate stability should consider High, which maintains at least 113 FPS at 4K and 190 FPS at 1440p. The Medium preset's recorded min/max values (e.g., 106-143 at 4K) show a 35% variance, suggesting occasional drops; High and Ultra likely exhibit similar patterns but were not measured for min/max. For the best balance of visual quality and performance, High settings at 1440p (190 FPS) or Ultra at 1080p (175 FPS) offer the most compelling experiences.
