Greedfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 lands at rank 87 out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the top 5% of all configurations. This is a formidable pairing for this 2019 action RPG, demonstrating that both components have the headroom to handle the game's demands without either becoming a consistent bottleneck. The combo’s standing reflects the strength of the RTX 5080’s raw throughput, which drives the experience in most scenarios, while the 7800X3D’s cache-heavy design ensures the CPU never drags the system down.

How This Combo Ranks

The data places this configuration at the 87th position among 1,705 tested combos, which is an elite standing. This rank is a product of both high-end parts working in concert, but the GPU is clearly the dominant force here. The RTX 5080 sits in the 89th percentile among all GPUs, and its nearest rivals in the benchmark database—the Intel Arc A570M, Arc Pro A60, Arc A580, and AMD Radeon Pro W5500X—are all within a narrow deltaPct range of -1.9% to 2.6%. That tight grouping suggests the RTX 5080 is at the top of its class, and in Greedfall it consistently delivers frame rates that push toward the upper limits of what displays can show.

The CPU’s own benchmark profile reinforces this. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D scores 29,149 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 4,115 in single-core, with an average benchmark score of 31,580. Its nearest CPU rivals—the Intel Core i7-12700F, AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX, Ryzen 7 8700G, and Ryzen 7 7745HX—are all within 0.6% of that average, meaning the 7800X3D is not a statistical outlier among top processors. For Greedfall, a title that is not notoriously CPU-heavy, this processor provides ample compute headroom. The result is a combo that ranks highly because the GPU can stretch its legs, and the CPU keeps up without throttling the pipeline.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the star of this configuration, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process. It packs 10,752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units, with a boost clock of 2617 MHz. The memory subsystem is a key differentiator: 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus delivers 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. In Greedfall, a game that features dense environments and detailed textures, this bandwidth is critical for maintaining smooth frame rates at higher resolutions and settings.

The GPU’s raw compute is substantial, with an FP32 throughput of 56.28 TFLOPS and a pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s. These specifications translate directly to the measured frame rates. At 4K Ultra, the combo manages 62.1 FPS, which is playable but shows the strain of maxed-out settings. The 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores are present, though Greedfall does not heavily leverage ray tracing or DLSS in this test, so the results reflect traditional rasterization performance. The GPU’s percentile ranking of 89 versus all GPUs confirms that it is a top-tier part, and the measured data indicates it is the primary driver of the frame rates seen across all settings and resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a consistent pattern of GPU-bound performance, with the CPU maintaining its end of the bargain even at lower resolutions. At 1080p High, the combo produces 243 FPS, which is already far beyond what most displays can refresh. Dropping to 1080p Low pushes that to 338.8 FPS, indicating that the GPU is still capable of more work if the settings allow it. This is the signature of a system where the CPU is not the limiting factor, even at lower resolutions where CPU load typically rises.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down proportionally: High delivers 166.3 FPS, Medium 186.1 FPS, and Low 230.7 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at High settings is roughly 31.5%, which aligns with the increased pixel count. At 4K, the pattern continues but with a steeper cliff at the highest settings. High settings at 3840x2160 yield 97 FPS, while Ultra drops to 62.1 FPS—a 36% reduction from High to Ultra. This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces a significant load increase, likely from higher shadow and post-processing effects, which impacts the GPU more than the resolution change itself. The data shows that the limiting component is the GPU across the board, with the CPU providing stable frame pacing regardless of resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo is essentially untouchable. Low settings produce 338.8 FPS, Medium 263.9 FPS, High 243 FPS, and Ultra 157.2 FPS. These numbers are all well above the 144 Hz threshold that most high-refresh monitors target, meaning the system will never dip below playable levels at this resolution. The jump from Low to Ultra is a 53.6% performance hit, which is steep but expected given the graphical fidelity increase.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but start to show the GPU working harder. Low settings hit 230.7 FPS, Medium 186.1 FPS, High 166.3 FPS, and Ultra 103.6 FPS. The Ultra preset still clears 100 FPS, which is excellent for a 1440p experience. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 55.1%, reflecting a similar scaling pattern to 1080p. This resolution is the sweet spot for the RTX 5080, offering high refresh rates without compromising visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s limits become visible. Low settings deliver 138.7 FPS, which is still smooth, but Medium drops to 111.6 FPS and High to 97 FPS. Ultra falls to 62.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold for some users but remains playable for a single-player RPG. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is a 55.2% reduction, nearly identical to the 1440p pattern, but the absolute numbers are lower. This indicates that the RTX 5080 is powerful enough for 4K High settings, but Ultra demands a compromise on frame rate.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows suggest that the High preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p, High delivers 243 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any monitor, and at 1440p it holds 166.3 FPS. Even at 4K, High produces 97 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS target for a smooth experience. This preset avoids the performance cliff seen with Ultra while providing a significant visual upgrade over Medium.

For users with 4K displays, the High preset is the clear recommendation. The 97 FPS average at 3840x2160 High is far superior to the 62.1 FPS at Ultra, and the visual difference between High and Ultra is often marginal in Greedfall. For 1440p users, Ultra is viable at 103.6 FPS, but High offers a 60% higher frame rate at 166.3 FPS, making it the better choice for competitive play or high-refresh displays. At 1080p, all presets are playable, but Medium at 263.9 FPS or High at 243 FPS are the optimal choices to balance load and visual quality. The data shows that the Ultra preset is only advisable for users who prioritize maximum graphical settings over frame rate stability, and even then, the 62.1 FPS at 4K is the only scenario where it dips below 100 FPS.
