GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 anchors this combo’s performance in Greedfall, an Action RPG released in 2019. The GPU runs at a base clock of 1830 MHz and boosts up to 2460 MHz, with memory clocked at 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective). Its 8 GB VRAM buffer, paired with a 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth, proves sufficient for the game’s demands across most settings, though the Ultra preset at 4K exposes its limits.

The GPU’s architecture, Ada Lovelace on a 5 nm TSMC process, includes 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units. These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 118.1 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 236.2 GTexel/s, which directly influence how well the card handles Greedfall’s environments and character details. The 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 throughput provides ample compute headroom for the game’s effects, though the measured results show that resolution scaling is the primary factor in frame rate variance.

At 1080p, the GPU delivers consistently high performance, with the Low preset reaching 181.6 FPS and Ultra still hitting 83.4 FPS. Moving to 1440p, the gap between presets widens: Low averages 126.9 FPS while Ultra drops to 58.2 FPS. At 4K, the card struggles with the highest settings—Ultra falls to 31.5 FPS—but remains viable on High (54.6 FPS) and Medium (57.2 FPS). The data suggests that VRAM capacity and memory bandwidth become limiting factors at higher resolutions, particularly when texture quality and shadow detail scale up on Ultra.

The GPU’s benchmark scores reinforce its midrange positioning. Its PassMark G3D score of 19545 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 101030 place it in the 66th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (0.6% faster) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (0.7% faster), while the Intel Arc B580 trails by 0.7% and the AMD Radeon 760M by 0.8%. This tight clustering indicates that the RTX 4060 sits at a competitive performance tier, though Greedfall’s measured FPS results show it can punch above that tier at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 achieves a rank of 949 out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the 55.6th percentile of all configurations. This mid-pack standing reflects a pairing where the CPU’s substantial multithreaded capabilities—Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29149 and PassMark multithread score of 34293—are not fully utilized by a GPU that sits in the 66th percentile of all GPUs.

The CPU itself is a strong performer, ranking in the 87th percentile among all processors with an average benchmark score of 31580. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12700F (0.1% faster), AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX (0.3% faster), AMD Ryzen 7 8700G (0.6% faster), and AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX (0.6% faster). These minuscule deltas indicate the 7800X3D is well-matched against contemporary competitors, and its 3D V-Cache configuration—96 MB of shared L3 cache—provides gaming-specific advantages that synthetic benchmarks may not fully capture.

However, in Greedfall, the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher resolutions. The combo’s rank relative to other tested configurations shows that while the CPU can drive high frame rates at 1080p, the RTX 4060’s limitations at 4K Ultra pull the overall ranking down. The measured FPS spread—from 181.6 at 1080p Low to 31.5 at 4K Ultra—illustrates a system that excels in esports-style settings but struggles with maxed-out visuals at high pixel counts.

This rank suggests that users with high-refresh-rate 1080p or 1440p monitors will find the combo well-suited, whereas those targeting 4K gaming will need to make significant preset compromises. The data shows no frame time variance metrics (min/max FPS were not recorded), so the analysis relies solely on average FPS, which may mask occasional stutters or frame pacing issues.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience balances visual fidelity with frame rate stability. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 129.5 FPS average, which is 46.1 FPS higher than Ultra (83.4 FPS) while maintaining most visual enhancements. For users with 144Hz monitors, High at 1080p is the clear choice, as it stays close to the refresh ceiling without the performance cost of Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset (99.4 FPS) offers the best compromise, providing a 41.2 FPS advantage over High (88.5 FPS) and a 41.2 FPS advantage over Ultra (58.2 FPS) is not accurate—rather, Medium beats High by 10.9 FPS and Ultra by 41.2 FPS. The Low preset at 1440p (126.9 FPS) is viable for competitive play, but Medium retains more detail for an Action RPG where environmental storytelling matters.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset (57.2 FPS) is the most playable option, edging out High (54.6 FPS) by 2.6 FPS while providing nearly identical visual quality. Ultra at 4K (31.5 FPS) is not recommended, as the frame rate falls below the 40 FPS threshold where most players perceive smooth motion. Low at 4K (75.7 FPS) is an option for those prioritizing frame rate, but the visual downgrade is substantial.

The data indicates that Medium is the sweet spot across all resolutions, delivering 142.9 FPS at 1080p, 99.4 FPS at 1440p, and 57.2 FPS at 4K. This preset consistently outperforms High by 10-13% while maintaining the majority of texture and shadow quality. For users with adaptive sync displays, High at 1440p (88.5 FPS) or 4K (54.6 FPS) may be preferable to Medium if frame rate fluctuations are well-tolerated.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS dataset for Greedfall with the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is as follows:

1920x1080:

• Low: 181.6 FPS average
• Medium: 142.9 FPS average
• High: 129.5 FPS average
• Ultra: 83.4 FPS average

The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 54.1% performance drop, with the largest single-step decline occurring between High and Ultra (46.1 FPS). The jump from Low to Medium costs 38.7 FPS, while Medium to High only costs 13.4 FPS, indicating diminishing returns as settings increase.

2560x1440:

• Low: 126.9 FPS average
• Medium: 99.4 FPS average
• High: 88.5 FPS average
• Ultra: 58.2 FPS average

At 1440p, the Low-to-Ultra gap widens to 54.1% as well, but the absolute numbers are lower. The High-to-Ultra penalty is 30.3 FPS, while Medium-to-High costs 10.9 FPS. The Low-to-Medium drop is 27.5 FPS, showing that even modest preset increases carry notable performance costs at this resolution.

3840x2160:

• Low: 75.7 FPS average
• Medium: 57.2 FPS average
• High: 54.6 FPS average
• Ultra: 31.5 FPS average

At 4K, the Ultra preset’s 31.5 FPS average is the only result below 50 FPS in the entire dataset. The Medium-to-High difference narrows to just 2.6 FPS, suggesting that High offers minimal visual gains over Medium at this resolution. The Low-to-Medium cost is 18.5 FPS, which is relatively small compared to the 23.1 FPS drop from Medium to Ultra.

Resolution scaling shows that moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by 30-33% across presets, while 1440p to 4K reduces them by an additional 40-46%. The RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth create a pronounced cliff at 4K Ultra, where the combination of high-resolution textures and demanding effects overwhelms the memory subsystem. The data confirms that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring preset compromises to remain playable.
