Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent drop as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, indicating the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at higher pixel counts. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 169.6 at 1080p to 119.5 at 1440p (a 29.6% reduction) and then to 68.6 at 4K (a 42.6% reduction from 1440p). The overall drop from 1080p to 4K is 59.6%. A similar pattern appears at Low settings: 240.3 FPS at 1080p, 167.8 at 1440p, and 99.6 at 4K, a 58.5% reduction from 1080p to 4K. This near-identical percentage drop across settings suggests that the RTX 3080’s rendering workload scales predictably with resolution, while the CPU maintains high frame rates even at 1080p Low, where it reaches 240.3 FPS. The data implies that at 1080p, the CPU is not the bottleneck; the GPU’s performance ceiling is the dominant factor as resolution rises.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values for the combo in Greedfall:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 1920x1080 | Low | 240.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 187.8 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 169.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 107.0 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 167.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 129.5 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 119.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 73.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 99.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 78.0 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 68.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 43.3 |

At 1080p, even Ultra exceeds 100 FPS, making the combo overkill for standard monitors. At 1440p, Ultra remains playable at 73.7 FPS, while High and Medium both exceed 100 FPS. At 4K, only Low, Medium, and High stay above 60 FPS, with Ultra falling to 43.3 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is substantial at every resolution: at 1080p, Ultra is 37% slower than High (107 vs 169.6); at 1440p, 38% slower (73.7 vs 119.5); and at 4K, 37% slower (43.3 vs 68.6). This indicates that the Ultra preset imposes a heavy rendering cost, likely due to advanced effects that the RTX 3080 cannot sustain at high resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its 16 MB of shared L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth support fast data access, which is relevant for a game like Greedfall that streams assets during exploration. The CPU’s multi-threaded performance is strong, as shown by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20,851 and a single-core score of 2,943. Its average benchmark score of 25,064 places it at the 82nd percentile, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% in average score, confirming that it delivers performance on par with the Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 7500F. In Greedfall, the CPU’s capability is evident at 1080p Low, where the combo reaches 240.3 FPS—a figure that would be impossible if the CPU were a bottleneck. The 4.70 GHz boost clock helps maintain high frame rates in single-threaded game logic, while the 12 threads handle background tasks. The CPU’s launch MSRP is $170, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform with DDR5 memory support.

Settings Recommendations

For a 60 FPS target, the data supports specific presets per resolution. At 4K, High is the highest preset that maintains 60+ FPS, averaging 68.6 FPS; Medium also clears 60 at 78.0 FPS, but High offers better visual quality without sacrificing the target. At 1440p, Ultra is playable at 73.7 FPS, making it the recommended preset for users with 1440p displays who want maximum fidelity. At 1080p, all presets exceed 100 FPS, so Ultra is the clear choice for the best visual experience, delivering 107.0 FPS. For users prioritizing frame rate over visuals, Low at 1080p provides 240.3 FPS, which is far beyond any standard refresh rate. The data shows that the combo is well-suited for high-refresh 1080p and 1440p gaming, while 4K users should stick to High or Medium to stay above 60 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is built on the Ampere architecture with 8,704 shading units, 272 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. It operates at a base clock of 1,440 MHz and a boost clock of 1,710 MHz, with 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus delivering 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 35,787 places it at the 80th percentile, and its nearest rivals are all within 1% in average score, indicating it performs on par with the RX 7900 GRE and RTX 5070 Ti Mobile. In Greedfall, the GPU is the primary scaling factor as resolution increases, as evidenced by the consistent ~60% FPS drop from 1080p to 4K across all settings. The 10 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game’s textures at 4K High, where the combo maintains 68.6 FPS. The high memory bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s helps feed the GPU at high resolutions, and the boost clock of 1,710 MHz contributes to the strong frame rates seen at 1080p and 1440p. The GPU’s launch MSRP is 699 USD, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, ensuring compatibility with modern game APIs.
