Greedfall

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 306.6 FPS, which drops to 210.8 FPS at 1440p and further to 127.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 58.4% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the rendering workload scales heavily with pixel count.

Looking at the High preset, the frame rates are 219 FPS at 1080p, 149.5 FPS at 1440p, and 87.4 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K is particularly steep — a 41.5% decline — which strongly suggests the RTX 5070 Ti's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth are being pushed hard at the higher resolution. The GPU's 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is the likely limiting factor here, as the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads at a 4.60 GHz boost clock are more than capable of feeding frames at lower resolutions.

At Medium settings, the pattern continues: 241.9 FPS at 1080p, 164.4 FPS at 1440p, and 97.9 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling, with 139 FPS at 1080p falling to 98.8 FPS at 1440p and then to 56.9 FPS at 4K. The Ultra 4K result is the only sub-60 FPS measurement in the entire dataset, and it sits 59.1% below the 1080p Ultra result. This indicates that Greedfall's Ultra settings introduce rendering effects — likely related to the game's Action RPG environments and lighting — that disproportionately tax the GPU at higher pixel densities.

Data interpretation suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the RTX 5070 Ti is delivering headroom that exceeds typical display refresh rates, while 4K Ultra pushes the combo into a territory where the GPU becomes the definitive bottleneck. The 56.9 FPS at 4K Ultra versus 127.6 FPS at 4K Low shows a 55.4% performance swing purely from settings changes, underscoring how preset selection matters more at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 brings 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This is a 5000-series desktop processor on the AMD Socket AM4 platform, built on TSMC's 7 nm process with 10,700 million transistors and a 16 MB L3 cache. Its benchmark profile shows strong multi-threaded capability: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 20655, while single-core scores 2916. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 6628 and max-thread score of 6617 indicate that the CPU scales well across all available threads.

In Greedfall, an Action RPG from 2019, the CPU's role becomes evident when examining the measured FPS at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 306.6 FPS — a figure that likely approaches the CPU's frame delivery ceiling. The Ryzen 7 5700's passmark single-thread score of 3296 and 3DMark single-thread score of 901 suggest that individual core performance is adequate for the game's logic and draw call processing. However, the data shows that at 1440p Low (210.8 FPS) and 4K Low (127.6 FPS), performance scales down with resolution while settings remain constant, meaning the GPU progressively becomes the constraint.

The CPU's 65 W TDP and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are modest compared to the GPU's demands, but benchmark results indicate it ranks at the 84th percentile versus all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K with an average score of 27043 (0.7% higher), the Intel Core i7-12700H at 27006 (0.8% higher), and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 at 26909 (1.2% higher). This places the Ryzen 7 5700 in a competitive position for gaming workloads, where its 16 threads provide headroom for background tasks and game engine threads.

This ranking reflects the measured FPS data across all resolutions and settings, with the combo's strong 1080p and 1440p performance contributing most to its position. The 154th rank out of 1705 combos indicates that while this pairing is not at the absolute top, it outperforms the vast majority of tested systems.

The GPU's individual benchmark standing helps contextualize this rank. The RTX 5070 Ti sits at the 87th percentile versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 52086. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 with a deltaPct of 0%, meaning they score nearly identically (52085 vs 52086). The AMD Radeon RX 7700S is 0.8% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 2.5% lower. The CPU's 84th percentile ranking is slightly lower than the GPU's, suggesting that the GPU is the stronger component in this pairing.

Within the context of Greedfall's 1705 tested combos, this rank of 154 implies that only 153 combinations deliver higher average FPS across the measured scenarios. Given that the game is from 2019, many newer and more expensive combinations likely occupy the higher ranks, but this combo demonstrates that a mid-generation CPU paired with a current-gen GPU can achieve near-top-tier results. The data suggests that the RTX 5070 Ti's 16 GB VRAM and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth are well-matched to the Ryzen 7 5700's Zen 3 architecture for this title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 139 FPS, meaning even Ultra delivers a smooth experience. The Ultra preset at 1080p produces 139 FPS, which is above the threshold for high-refresh-rate displays, while High at 219 FPS and Medium at 241.9 FPS offer progressively higher headroom. For competitive play or maximum fluidity, Low at 306.6 FPS is the clear choice, but for visual fidelity, High or Ultra are viable without sacrificing playability.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 149.5 FPS and Medium at 164.4 FPS both provide excellent experiences, while Low at 210.8 FPS maximizes frame rate. The Ultra preset at 98.8 FPS remains above 60 FPS and is suitable for gamers prioritizing visual quality. No settings combination at 1440p drops below the 60 FPS threshold, so players can freely choose based on their preference for visuals versus speed.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation becomes more nuanced. Low settings at 127.6 FPS and Medium at 97.9 FPS both deliver smooth gameplay, while High at 87.4 FPS is still comfortable for most displays. However, Ultra at 56.9 FPS falls below 60 FPS, which may cause noticeable stuttering on standard 60 Hz displays. For 4K gaming, the data suggests using High settings as the best balance — it provides 87.4 FPS, which is 53.6% higher than Ultra's 56.9 FPS, while offering substantially better visuals than Low. The Medium preset at 97.9 FPS is the safest choice for maintaining high frame rates at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are: Low at 306.6, Medium at 241.9, High at 219, and Ultra at 139. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 54.7% drop in performance from the lowest to highest settings. This resolution exhibits the largest absolute frame rates, with even Ultra exceeding 120 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low at 210.8, Medium at 164.4, High at 149.5, and Ultra at 98.8. Compared to 1080p, each settings tier loses approximately 28-31% of its frame rate, with Ultra suffering the largest relative decline at 28.9% (from 139 to 98.8 FPS). The spacing between settings is more compressed here, with only a 53.1% difference between Low and Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the data shows: Low at 127.6, Medium at 97.9, High at 87.4, and Ultra at 56.9. This resolution demonstrates the most dramatic settings sensitivity. The gap between Low and Ultra is 55.4%, nearly identical to the 1080p percentage drop, but the absolute values are much lower. Notably, the difference between Medium and High at 4K is just 10.5 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs 30.5 FPS — a 34.9% reduction. This non-linear scaling suggests that Ultra settings introduce particularly expensive rendering features at 4K resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB203 chip, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process with 45,600 million transistors. Its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is crucial for high-resolution textures in Greedfall. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). Its 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs provide substantial raw throughput, while 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores handle modern rendering features.

The GPU's benchmark results show it at the 87th percentile versus all GPUs, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6604 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 231226. Its passmark G3D score of 32974 and GPU compute score of 20203 confirm strong general performance. The nearest rival, the RTX 4080, scores 52085 versus the 5070 Ti's 52086 average benchmark score — a 0% delta — indicating these two GPUs are effectively tied in overall compute.

In Greedfall, the GPU's role is clearly dominant at higher resolutions. The 4K results, particularly the Ultra preset at 56.9 FPS, demonstrate that the GPU's 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 686.6 GTexel/s texture rate are the limiting factors when rendering at 3840x2160 with maximum settings. The 235.4 GPixel/s pixel rate also constrains 4K output. At 1080p, the GPU has ample headroom, with even Ultra settings achieving 139 FPS, suggesting that the CPU becomes relatively more important at lower pixel counts. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is likely sufficient for Greedfall's textures at all settings, given that the game predates the GPU by several years, but the measured FPS drops at 4K Ultra indicate that compute and memory bandwidth, not capacity, are the binding constraints.
