Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER pairing in Greedfall delivers a wide range of frame rates that depend heavily on the chosen graphics preset. The measured data shows a clear hierarchy across settings, and the optimal choice depends on whether you prioritize frame rate smoothness or visual fidelity. This combination ranks in the 87th percentile for the CPU and 76th percentile for the GPU, and the in-game results reflect a system that is extremely capable at standard resolutions but shows its limitations when pushed to maximum settings at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark rows for this combo reveal a substantial performance gap between the Low and Ultra presets, with the Medium and High settings offering the most balanced experience. At 1920x1080, Low settings produce an average of 293 FPS, which is excessive for nearly all display refresh rates and indicates the game is heavily CPU-bound at this point. Moving to Medium drops the average to 230 FPS, still far beyond what a standard 144Hz monitor can display. High settings at 1080p yield 209 FPS, which remains exceptionally smooth. The Ultra preset at 1080p falls to 134 FPS; this is the first setting where the GPU begins to assert its influence, but the frame rate is still perfectly playable.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts slightly. Low settings deliver 203 FPS, Medium drops to 160 FPS, and High comes in at 145 FPS. All three of these presets are excellent for high-refresh-rate gaming at this resolution. The Ultra preset at 1440p, however, takes a significant hit down to 93 FPS. This is where the visual quality investment starts to cost real performance, but 93 FPS remains smooth for most players. The data suggests that High settings at 1440p is the sweet spot for this combo, offering 145 FPS while presumably retaining most of the visual enhancements over Medium.

At 3840x2160, the story changes dramatically. Low settings produce 121 FPS, which is still very playable. Medium drops to 95 FPS, and High falls to 87 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only measurement that falls below a comfortable threshold, averaging just 55 FPS. This is the only configuration in the entire dataset that dips below 60 FPS, indicating a hard limit for this hardware combination. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset at 95 FPS appears to be the most sensible recommendation, as it provides a solid frame rate while the step up to High only yields a modest visual improvement for a noticeable performance cost. The Ultra preset at 4K should be avoided unless you have a variable refresh rate monitor and can tolerate the 55 FPS average.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing, and its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory is a key factor in the game's performance at higher resolutions. The card features a 256-bit memory bus and a bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s, which allows it to handle the texture and asset streaming demands of Greedfall without bottlenecking. The GPU's architecture is Ada Lovelace, built on a 5 nm process, and it contains 8448 shading units along with 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores. The base clock is 2340 MHz with a boost clock of 2610 MHz, and these clock speeds are what drive the high frame rates seen in the 1080p and 1440p measurements.

The measured FPS data shows that the GPU's performance scales predictably with resolution. At 1080p Low, the average of 293 FPS is so high that the CPU is likely the limiting factor, not the GPU. As resolution increases to 1440p and then 4K, the GPU becomes the primary constraint. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is particularly telling: 121 FPS versus 55 FPS. This 66 FPS gap demonstrates how demanding the Ultra preset is on the GPU's compute and memory resources. The 16 GB frame buffer is sufficient for even the highest resolution, but the raw compute power of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is what determines the final frame rate. The GPU's 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is what allows it to maintain playable rates at 4K Medium, but the Ultra preset pushes it beyond its comfortable envelope.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings, but the magnitude of the drop varies. At Low settings, the frame rate goes from 293 FPS at 1080p to 203 FPS at 1440p, a 90 FPS reduction, and then to 121 FPS at 4K, another 82 FPS drop. This represents a 59% reduction from 1080p to 4K, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at lower settings. At Medium settings, the drop is from 230 FPS to 160 FPS to 95 FPS, a total reduction of 59% as well. High settings show a similar trend: 209 FPS to 145 FPS to 87 FPS, a 58% reduction.

The Ultra preset exhibits the most dramatic scaling, falling from 134 FPS at 1080p to 93 FPS at 1440p and finally to 55 FPS at 4K. This is a 59% reduction from 1080p to 4K, but the absolute numbers are much lower, meaning the game becomes increasingly unplayable as resolution climbs. The fact that the percentage drop is roughly consistent across all settings suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor in every scenario, rather than the CPU. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rate would stay relatively flat as resolution increases. The data shows a clear linear relationship between pixel count and frame rate, which is classic GPU-bound behavior. The 4K Ultra result of 55 FPS is the only measurement that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, and it indicates that this combo is not suited for maximum settings at 4K, though it handles 4K Medium with ease.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a broad range of performance. The Low preset averages 293 FPS, which is the highest score recorded for this combo. Medium settings reduce the average to 230 FPS, with a minimum of 196 FPS and a maximum of 265 FPS. High settings produce 209 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 134 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is rarely challenged, and even the most demanding preset remains well above playable thresholds.

At 2560x1440, the results are slightly more moderated but still strong. Low settings yield 203 FPS, Medium yields 160 FPS with a minimum of 136 FPS and a maximum of 184 FPS, and High yields 145 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 93 FPS. This resolution appears to be the practical ceiling for Ultra settings, as 93 FPS is still smooth, but the gap between High and Ultra has widened to 52 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops are more pronounced. Low settings still manage 121 FPS, but Medium falls to 95 FPS with a minimum of 81 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS. High settings produce 87 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 55 FPS. The minimum frame rate of 81 FPS at 4K Medium is worth noting, as it shows that even with some dips, the frame pacing remains acceptable. The 4K Ultra result of 55 FPS is the only measurement that would cause noticeable stutter on a standard 60Hz display, making it the only setting that cannot be recommended for a consistent experience.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of 3703 tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER achieves a rank of 466 in Greedfall. This places it in the top 12.6% of all tested combos, which is a strong result for a game that is not particularly demanding by modern standards. The ranking reflects the high frame rates achieved at 1080p and 1440p, where the combo excels. The CPU's percentile ranking of 87 among all CPUs indicates that it is well above average, and the GPU's percentile of 76 is also solid, though not exceptional.

The combo's rank is likely held back by the 4K Ultra result of 55 FPS, which is a poor showing for such a high-end GPU. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's nearest rivals in the GPU benchmark database include the NVIDIA TITAN RTX and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell, with the latter being 1.4% faster in average benchmark score. However, in actual game performance, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's modern architecture and 16 GB memory buffer provide a significant advantage in newer titles. For the CPU, the Ryzen 7 7700's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-13905H and the AMD Ryzen 9 270, with the 7700 being just 0.6% slower than the i9-13905H in average benchmark score. This indicates that the CPU is not a weak link in this pairing, and the overall rank of 466 is a fair reflection of the system's balanced capabilities.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. It has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. In Greedfall, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions where the GPU is not fully utilized. The 293 FPS result at 1080p Low is a clear indicator that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to achieve very high frame rates. The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by a 3dmark_single_thread score of 1049, is crucial for a game that likely relies on a primary game thread.

The data shows that the CPU does not become a bottleneck until the frame rate exceeds 200 FPS. At 1080p Low, the 293 FPS average suggests the CPU is near its limit, but the frame rate is still high enough to be irrelevant for most displays. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU takes over as the limiting factor, and the CPU's performance is sufficient to keep up with the GPU's demands. The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities, evidenced by a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 18760, ensure that background tasks and game logic do not interfere with frame pacing. The 7700's 65W TDP is notably low for an 8-core processor, which means it generates less heat and allows for more sustained boost clocks in a well-cooled system. The CPU's performance is not a hindrance in any of the measured scenarios, and it only becomes the primary driver of frame rate at the very lowest settings and resolutions, where the results are still excellent.
