Greedfall

Greedfall, a 2019 action RPG, is tested with the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The measured data shows strong performance across resolutions, with the combo ranking 210th out of 1705 tested configurations. The CPU has a launch MSRP of $170 and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 799 USD. This analysis breaks down the FPS results, settings scaling, and component roles.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS at each resolution reveals how the workload shifts. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 294 at 1920x1080 to 204.1 at 2560x1440 and 120.9 at 3840x2160. At High settings, the numbers are 212.5, 143, and 86 respectively. The 4K Low result is less than half of the 1080p Low result, and the 4K High result is roughly 40% of the 1080p High figure. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is less severe than from 1440p to 4K at most presets, which is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At 1080p, even Ultra delivers 133.4 FPS, indicating that the CPU is not the limiting factor there. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 951 and multi-thread max of 6165 suggest a capable processor, but the FPS drop as resolution increases points to the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck. The 4K Ultra result of 56 FPS is the lowest measured, showing that the GPU is heavily taxed at that setting. The data also shows that the gap between Low and Ultra widens with resolution: at 1080p, the difference is 160.6 FPS (294 vs 133.4), while at 4K it is 64.9 FPS (120.9 vs 56). This pattern reinforces that the GPU's raw throughput dominates at 4K, while the CPU can keep up with high frame rates at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p, all presets deliver above 133 FPS, with Ultra at 133.4, so the Ultra preset is viable for high-refresh monitors. At 1440p, High yields 143 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz displays, while Ultra drops to 91.9, still playable but not as smooth. At 4K, High provides 86 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold, while Ultra falls to 56 FPS, making High the recommended preset for a consistent experience. Medium at 4K gives 95.3 FPS, which is higher than High's 86, suggesting that the High preset includes more demanding effects; however, the visual difference may justify the lower frame rate. Low at 4K reaches 120.9 FPS, but sacrifices most visual quality. Based on the measured rows, the best balance of visual quality and frame rate is High at 1440p and 4K, and Ultra at 1080p. For players targeting 60 FPS, 4K High is the sweet spot; for 144Hz, 1440p High or Medium are both excellent choices. The data shows that the Ultra preset is only recommended at 1080p, where it still exceeds 133 FPS, or at 1440p if the user prioritizes image quality over frame rate.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 2340 MHz and boost clock is 2610 MHz. These specifications support the high frame rates observed. The GPU's Passmark G3D score is 31811, and its average benchmark score is 48704, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.7% below the NVIDIA CMP 50HX and 1.6% above the NVIDIA RTX A2000. The 16 GB VRAM is ample for Greedfall, a 2019 title, and the memory bandwidth ensures smooth texture streaming at 4K. The GPU's TDP is 285 W, with a suggested PSU of 600 W, which is a practical consideration for system builders. The boost clock of 2610 MHz is a key factor in sustaining high FPS across all settings, as the GPU can maintain high frequencies under load. The GPU's 8448 shading units and 264 TMUs contribute to its strong rasterization performance, which is directly relevant to Greedfall's traditional rendering. The 96 ROPs handle pixel output efficiently, and the 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores are present but not heavily utilized in this non-ray-traced title. The GPU's average benchmark score of 48704 places it in the 86th percentile, and its nearest rival, the CMP 50HX, is only 0.7% higher, indicating that the 4070 Ti SUPER is a top-tier performer in aggregate tests.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values from the FACT PACK. Min and max FPS are not provided.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

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

| 3840x2160 | High | 86 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 120.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 95.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 56 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 143 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 204.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 158.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 91.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 212.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 294 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 228.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 133.4 |

The data shows a clear progression: at each resolution, Low yields the highest FPS, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra being the most demanding. The 1080p Low result of 294 FPS is the highest measured, while 4K Ultra at 56 FPS is the lowest. The 1440p Medium result of 158.2 FPS is notably higher than 1440p High's 143, and 4K Medium's 95.3 exceeds 4K High's 86. This pattern suggests that the High preset may include effects that are disproportionately expensive at higher resolutions. The 1080p Ultra result of 133.4 FPS is still above the 120 FPS threshold, making it a viable option for high-refresh gaming. The 1440p Ultra result of 91.9 FPS is close to the 90 FPS mark, while 4K Ultra is the only preset that falls below 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

In Greedfall, this CPU+GPU combination achieves a rank of 210 out of 1705 tested combos. This places it in the upper tier of configurations. The CPU itself has a percentile of 82 among all CPUs, and the GPU has a percentile of 86 among all GPUs. The CPU's average benchmark score is 25064, which is within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. The GPU's average score of 48704 is 0.7% below the NVIDIA CMP 50HX and 1.6% above the NVIDIA RTX A2000. These aggregate scores, combined with the game-specific rank, indicate a well-balanced system for Greedfall. The rank of 210 out of 1705 means that the combo outperforms the majority of tested systems, though it is not at the very top. The CPU's 82nd percentile and GPU's 86th percentile are consistent with a mid-to-high-end pairing. The CPU's nearest rival, the Ryzen 5 7500F, has a delta of 0.3%, meaning the 8400F is slightly ahead in average benchmark score. The GPU's nearest rival, the CMP 50HX, is 0.7% higher, but the 4070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB VRAM and modern architecture give it an edge in gaming workloads. The combo's rank in Greedfall is a direct result of the measured FPS data, which shows strong performance at all resolutions and settings.
