A: The Medium preset offers a strong middle ground. At 1920x1080, the average frame rate is 229 FPS, with a minimum of 194 FPS and a maximum of 263 FPS. At 2560x1440, the average is 159 FPS, with a minimum of 135 FPS. At 3840x2160, the average is 95 FPS, with a minimum of 80 FPS. This preset provides a smooth experience across all resolutions.

Q: How does this combo rank compared to all other tested combinations?

A: The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ranks 523rd out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the top 15% of all configurations tested, indicating that it is a high-performing pairing for this specific game.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and High settings?

A: The performance headroom is substantial. At 1920x1080, the average frame rate increases from 208 FPS on High to 291 FPS on Low, a 40% increase. At 2560x1440, the increase is from 144 FPS to 202 FPS, a 40% gain. At 3840x2160, the average goes from 86 FPS to 120 FPS, a 40% improvement. The relative scaling is consistent across resolutions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly demonstrates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the primary limiting component, as expected. The data shows a consistent pattern across all settings presets. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 208 FPS at 1920x1080 to 144 FPS at 2560x1440 (a 31% drop), and then further to 86 FPS at 3840x2160 (a 40% drop from 1440p). This steep decline with increasing resolution is classic GPU-bound behavior, as the rendering workload on the graphics card scales significantly with pixel count.

At Low settings, the performance scales similarly. The system produces 291 FPS at 1080p, 202 FPS at 1440p, and 120 FPS at 4K. The absolute frame rates are higher, but the relative drops are comparable (31% from 1080p to 1440p, and 41% from 1440p to 4K). The fact that the frame rate doesn't plateau or become erratic at 1080p suggests that the CPU is not the bottleneck; if it were, we would expect to see a smaller difference between 1080p and 1440p as the GPU workload increases but the CPU workload stays constant.

The Medium preset shows a similar trend, with average FPS of 229 at 1080p, 159 at 1440p, and 95 at 4K. The minimum frame rates also scale accordingly, from 194 FPS at 1080p to 135 FPS at 1440p and 80 FPS at 4K. This consistent scaling across all presets is a strong indicator of a well-balanced system where the GPU is the performance ceiling. The Ryzen 7 3700X provides enough processing power to maintain stable frame delivery at even the lowest resolution and highest frame rates, allowing the GPU to be fully utilized.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured data, the High preset at 2560x1440 offers the best overall experience for this hardware combination. The average frame rate of 144 FPS is excellent for a smooth and responsive experience, and it provides enough headroom to handle demanding scenes without dropping to noticeable lows. The 86 FPS average at 4K High is also very good, but the 1440p High setting provides a 67% performance advantage while still delivering high visual quality. The data does not show min/max values for the High preset, but the averages suggest it is a stable configuration.

For users who prioritize maximum visual fidelity, the Ultra preset is an option, but the performance cost is significant. At 1440p, the average drops to 92 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 36% reduction from High. At 4K, the Ultra preset averages 55 FPS, which is near the edge of what is considered smooth for many gamers. The Medium preset is a solid fallback for those seeking higher frame rates, with a 159 FPS average at 1440p, but the measured minimum of 135 FPS is lower than the High preset's average, indicating a potentially less stable experience in demanding scenes.

The Low preset, while achieving very high frame rates (202 FPS at 1440p), is not recommended for a visually rich Action RPG like Greedfall, as it would likely detract from the game's atmosphere and detail. The sweet spot is clearly the High preset at 2560x1440, which balances the visual quality of the game with a frame rate that exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. At 4K, the High preset is the best choice, as it maintains an 86 FPS average without the substantial performance hit of Ultra.
