A: At 3840x2160, Low averages 148.5 FPS, Medium averages 120.9 FPS, High averages 108 FPS, and Ultra averages 70.1 FPS. High is the strongest visual-quality option in the measured data that still stays clearly above 100 FPS.

Q: How does the Ryzen 7 5800X compare with its closest CPU rivals?

A: The 5800X has an average benchmark score of 27,606. It is 0.3% ahead of the Ryzen 7 5800’s 27,535, and 0.4% behind the Ryzen 5 8500GE’s 27,708, the Core i7-13700H’s 27,716, and 0.8% behind the Core i5-12600KF’s 27,827.

Q: Where does the RTX 5090 sit among its closest GPU rivals?

A: Its average benchmark score is 84,306. That is 0.1% above the RTX 5090 D’s 84,241, 0.2% above the RTX 5050 Mobile’s 84,171, 1.3% above the AMD Radeon PRO W6600’s 83,209, and 1.6% below the NVIDIA CMP 40HX’s 85,637.

Q: Is the CPU strong enough for high frame rates in this game?

A: Yes. The CPU scores 23,571 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 3,327 in single-core, with a 3DMark 16-thread score of 7,586. In Greedfall, the combo reaches 362.6 FPS at 1080p Low, the highest measured average in the dataset.

Q: Does the measured FPS data include minimum or maximum values?

A: No. Each measured FPS entry records only the average FPS. The minimum FPS and maximum FPS fields are null throughout the dataset.

Q: What does the 1080p Ultra result tell us?

A: At 1920x1080 Ultra, the combo averages 164 FPS. That is far above the 4K Ultra result of 70.1 FPS, showing that resolution and preset level have a large impact on the measured frame rate.

Resolution Scaling

The measured results show a consistent FPS drop as resolution increases from 1080p to 1440p to 4K.

At Low settings, the combo averages 362.6 FPS at 1080p, falls to 252.9 FPS at 1440p, and then to 148.5 FPS at 4K. At Medium settings, it averages 289.3 FPS at 1080p, 198.6 FPS at 1440p, and 120.9 FPS at 4K. At High settings, it averages 259.1 FPS at 1080p, 182.9 FPS at 1440p, and 108 FPS at 4K. At Ultra settings, it averages 164 FPS at 1080p, 115.7 FPS at 1440p, and 70.1 FPS at 4K.

This pattern indicates that the GPU load rises heavily with resolution. The 1080p Low result of 362.6 FPS is the fastest measured point in the dataset, which shows the CPU can feed a very high frame rate when the GPU is not stressed as much. At 4K Ultra, the average drops to 70.1 FPS, showing the RTX 5090 becomes the dominant limiting component under maximum load. The scaling is smooth across every preset, with no row breaking the expected order.

| 3840x2160 | High | 108.0 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 70.1 |

Within every resolution, Low is the fastest preset and Ultra is the slowest. The 1080p Low result of 362.6 FPS is the only measured value above 300 FPS, while the 4K Ultra result of 70.1 FPS is the only measured value below 100 FPS.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5800X has 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz and its boost clock is 4.70 GHz. It uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform, Zen 3 Vermeer architecture, and a 7 nm TSMC process. It supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth and offers PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes.

Its synthetic benchmark results show a balanced single-thread and multi-thread profile. Cinebench R23 scores are 23,571 multicore and 3,327 single-core. Cinebench R20 scores are 9,899 multicore and 1,397 single-core. Geekbench scores are 10,220 multicore and 2,194 single-core. PassMark multithread is 27,732, and single-thread is 3,445. In 3DMark, the 16-thread test scores 7,586, the 8-thread test scores 6,035, the 4-thread test scores 3,543, the 2-thread test scores 1,846, and the single-thread test scores 943.

The CPU’s role in Greedfall is visible in the low-resolution results. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 362.6 FPS, which is the highest value in the measured dataset. At 1440p Low, it still reaches 252.9 FPS. These numbers are far above the 4K Ultra result of 70.1 FPS, meaning the CPU is not the main limitation when the GPU is heavily loaded at 4K.

In synthetic average terms, the 5800X scores 27,606, placing it in the 84th percentile versus all CPUs. Its closest rivals are all within 0.8% in average score, so this is not a CPU that dominates its comparison group. Instead, it provides strong enough single-thread and multi-thread performance to let the RTX 5090 produce very high frame rates at lower resolutions and settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows give a clear picture for each resolution.

At 4K, High is the best measured compromise. It averages 108 FPS, while Medium averages 120.9 FPS and Low averages 148.5 FPS. Ultra averages 70.1 FPS, which is still usable but far below the other presets. For a high-speed 4K setup, High offers the best combination of visual quality and measured frame rate.

At 1440p, High averages 182.9 FPS and Medium averages 198.6 FPS. Ultra averages 115.7 FPS, which keeps the combo above 100 FPS but leaves performance on the table. High is the stronger recommendation because it stays close to Medium while delivering better visual quality.

At 1080p, Ultra averages 164 FPS, so it is the best preset for maximum visual quality without leaving the high-frame-rate range. High averages 259.1 FPS and Medium averages 289.3 FPS, both of which provide much more frame-rate headroom. Low is the fastest measured preset at 362.6 FPS, but it offers no visual benefit and should only be used when maximum FPS is the sole priority.

Overall, High is the most consistent preset across all three resolutions: 259.1 FPS at 1080p, 182.9 FPS at 1440p, and 108 FPS at 4K. That makes it the safest starting point for this CPU and GPU combination in Greedfall.
