Greedfall

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 reveals a clear pattern of scaling as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combination produces an average of 195.1 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings drops the average to 132.9 FPS, a reduction of roughly 32%. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 81 FPS, which is approximately 58% below the 1080p figure. This trajectory indicates that the rendering load scales substantially with pixel count, and the RTX 5070's 12 GB GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are being exercised progressively harder as resolution climbs.

The Low settings data reinforces this interpretation. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 271.1 FPS, which is an exceptionally high figure. At 1440p Low, it drops to 188.4 FPS, and at 4K Low, it settles at 107.5 FPS. The proportional drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is about 60%, which is similar to the High settings drop of 58%. This consistency suggests that the limiting factor at these settings is predominantly the GPU's fill rate and memory throughput, not the CPU. The RTX 5070's pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s are the hardware attributes most directly tied to these resolution-dependent changes.

Ultra settings produce the steepest scaling curve. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 123.2 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 85.6 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it collapses to 53 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is about 57%, but the absolute values are much lower than at other settings. This indicates that the Ultra preset introduces effects that are particularly demanding on the GPU's shading units, of which the RTX 5070 has 6144. The data suggests that even a high-end Blackwell GPU cannot maintain 60 FPS at 4K Ultra in this title, which is a meaningful constraint for users targeting maximum visual fidelity at high resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, based on the GB205 chip and Blackwell 2.0 architecture, is the primary driver of Greedfall's frame rates across most of the measured configurations. The GPU's boost clock of 2512 MHz and base clock of 2325 MHz provide the raw compute throughput needed for the game's action RPG rendering loads. The FP32 performance of 30.87 TFLOPS is substantial, and the benchmark results indicate that this compute capacity translates directly into playable frame rates at 1440p and 4K with medium-to-high settings.

The memory subsystem is a critical factor. With 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, the RTX 5070 delivers 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 53, which is below the generally accepted 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. This suggests that the memory capacity or bandwidth may be a limiting factor at the highest resolution and quality combination. The 4K Medium average of 86.8 FPS and 4K High average of 81 FPS are both acceptable, but the gap between Medium and Ultra at 4K — a 39% reduction — indicates that the Ultra preset's additional memory pressure is significant.

The GPU's benchmark scores provide context for its overall capability. The PassMark G3D score of 29137 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5077 place it in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, has an average score of 41441, which is 0.6% higher. This close margin suggests that the RTX 5070 is a capable performer relative to the previous generation's flagship, despite its newer architecture and different memory configuration. The 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores are present in the hardware, though the measured FPS data does not isolate ray tracing effects in Greedfall.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700, with 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 4 architecture (Raphael), provides the computational foundation for this test system. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 5.30 GHz are high for a 65 W TDP part, and the benchmark data bears this out. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29302 and single-core score of 4136 indicate strong performance across both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads. The PassMark multithread score of 34470 and single-thread score of 4063 reinforce this picture.

In the context of Greedfall, which is an action RPG from 2019, the CPU's role is likely to be secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, but the data shows some CPU influence at lower settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 271.1 FPS, which is a very high frame rate that pushes against typical CPU frame-time limits. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 8484 and max-thread score of 8479 indicate that the CPU can sustain high throughput across all cores, which is relevant for the game's background simulation and AI tasks. The single-thread score of 1049 in 3DMark is modest, but the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4136 suggests that single-threaded performance is adequate for the game's primary game logic thread.

The Ryzen 7 7700's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s dual-channel DDR5 memory bandwidth are important for feeding the GPU with geometry and texture data. The CPU's percentile ranking of 91 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40468, places it slightly ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H (0.1% delta) and behind the Intel Core i9-13905H (-0.6% delta). This tight grouping indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck in most gaming scenarios, and the measured FPS data for Greedfall confirms that the GPU is the limiting component at 4K and at Ultra settings.

FAQ

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS dataset for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is presented below, organized by resolution and settings preset.

At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the system delivers high frame rates across all settings. The Low preset produces an average of 271.1 FPS, which is the highest figure in the entire dataset. Medium settings reduce the average to 212.6 FPS, High settings to 195.1 FPS, and Ultra settings to 123.2 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 147.9 FPS, demonstrating the substantial performance cost of the Ultra preset at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show the expected reduction from 1080p. Low settings average 188.4 FPS, Medium settings 144.4 FPS, High settings 132.9 FPS, and Ultra settings 85.6 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings ranges from 30% at Low to 31% at Ultra, indicating a consistent scaling factor across quality presets.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution, the performance drops are more pronounced. Low settings average 107.5 FPS, Medium settings 86.8 FPS, High settings 81 FPS, and Ultra settings 53 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that falls below 60 FPS, making it the most demanding combination tested. The gap between Medium and Ultra at 4K is 33.8 FPS, which is larger than the gap at 1440p (58.8 FPS) or 1080p (89.4 FPS), suggesting that the Ultra preset's effects scale in cost with resolution.

The data shows a clear hierarchy: 1080p provides the highest frame rates, 1440p provides a balance of quality and performance, and 4K is playable at all settings except Ultra. For users seeking the highest visual fidelity at 4K, the 53 FPS average at Ultra may be acceptable, but it does not meet the 60 FPS standard. At 1440p, all settings exceed 85 FPS, making it the recommended resolution for this hardware combination in Greedfall.
