GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the primary driver of frame rates in this Greedfall benchmark, and its specifications clearly explain the high performance observed. The GPU features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. This massive memory allocation and bandwidth are crucial for handling high-resolution textures and complex scenes at 4K without bottlenecking. The GPU's architecture is Blackwell 2.0, built on a 5 nm process with 92,200 million transistors, and it includes 21,760 shading units. Its clocks are set to a base of 2017 MHz and a boost of 2407 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz, effective 28 Gbps.

The benchmark results show a clear scaling pattern tied to the GPU's workload. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 72 at Ultra to 159 at Low, with High at 113 and Medium at 125. This demonstrates that the RTX 5090 D has enough raw power to push high frame rates even at 4K, but the Ultra preset imposes a significant load. The GPU's percentile ranking of 92 out of 100 underscores its position as a top-tier component. However, the nearest rival comparison in the database shows the RTX 5090 D has a deltaPct of 1.1% against the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT and -1.6% against the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, suggesting that while it leads in this pairing, the performance gap to some competitors is not as large as the absolute scores might imply. The data indicates that at 1440p, the GPU scales effectively, with average FPS jumping from 121 at Ultra to 266 at Low, showing a 145 FPS difference between the extremes.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D provides the processing foundation for this benchmark, and its capabilities are well-suited to feeding the RTX 5090 D. The CPU has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. It is built on the Zen 4 architecture (codename Raphael) using a 5 nm process, and it features a substantial L3 cache of 96 MB shared across the cores. This large cache is particularly beneficial for gaming, as it reduces latency for frequently accessed data. The CPU's memory support is DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, which is sufficient to keep the GPU supplied with data.

In terms of raw processing power, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D scores 16,817 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1,713 in single-core, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 15,610 and single-core of 2,426. The CPU's percentile ranking is 83, and its average benchmark score is 33,079. The nearest rival data shows the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Intel Core i7-13650HX both match the 7800X3D's average score, while the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H is 0.4% higher. This indicates the 7800X3D is not the absolute fastest CPU in the database, but its performance is more than adequate for Greedfall, as the measured FPS at 1080p with Low settings reaches 383 on average. The CPU's 3DMark scores, such as 7,980 for 16 threads and 959 for single-thread, show it can handle both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads effectively, ensuring that the GPU is not starved of data in any scenario.

Settings Recommendations

Based solely on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combination depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 3840x2160, the High preset delivers an average of 113 FPS, which is a strong balance between visual quality and performance. The Medium preset at 4K provides 125 FPS on average, with a minimum of 106 and maximum of 143, making it a more stable choice for those prioritizing frame consistency. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 72 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. The Low preset at 4K offers 159 FPS, but this comes at a significant visual cost.

For 2560x1440, the High preset achieves an average of 190 FPS, which is excellent for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 1440p yields 209 FPS on average, with a minimum of 178 and maximum of 240, providing a very consistent experience. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 121 FPS, which is still respectable but shows a clear performance hit. At 1920x1080, the data shows the system can push well beyond 200 FPS on most settings. The High preset averages 273 FPS, while Medium averages 301 FPS with a minimum of 256 and maximum of 346. The Ultra preset at 1080p averages 175 FPS, and Low reaches 383 FPS.

Given these numbers, the best experience is achieved by selecting the Medium preset, as it consistently provides the highest average FPS with the most stable minimum and maximum frame rates across all resolutions. At 4K, Medium offers 125 FPS, which is higher than High and Ultra, and the included min/max data (106 to 143) shows less variance. At 1440p, Medium's 209 FPS with a tight range of 178 to 240 is superior to High's 190 FPS without such data. At 1080p, Medium's 301 FPS is again the highest non-Low average, and it includes the only min/max data for that resolution, showing consistency. Therefore, the data supports Medium as the sweet spot for visual fidelity and frame rate stability.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D combination is the top performer in the database for Greedfall, holding the rank of 1 out of 2,938 tested combos. This top ranking is a direct result of the measured FPS data, which shows no other combination in the database achieves higher average frame rates at any resolution or setting. The combo's performance is particularly dominant at lower resolutions, where the CPU and GPU work together to eliminate bottlenecks. At 1920x1080 Low, the system hits 383 FPS, and even at the demanding 4K Ultra preset, it maintains a playable 72 FPS.

The ranking is supported by the individual component scores. The CPU's 83rd percentile and the GPU's 92nd percentile indicate that both are high-performing parts, and their combination maximizes the potential of each. However, the nearest rival data provides context. The CPU's closest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G, have nearly identical average scores, suggesting that the top ranking is not solely due to the CPU being vastly superior. Similarly, the GPU's rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, which is 1.6% higher in average score, yet this combo still ranks first in the game. This implies that the specific pairing of the 7800X3D and RTX 5090 D is particularly well-suited to Greedfall's engine, resulting in a synergy that other combinations cannot replicate. The deltaPct values for the GPU's rivals show a narrow performance band, with the RX 6650M XT at 1.1% lower and the Tesla P100 variants at 2.1% to 2.4% lower, meaning the RTX 5090 D's advantage is not overwhelming in synthetic tests, but the measured game data tells a different story.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings tiers.

At 3840x2160, the system's performance is as follows:

• Ultra: 72 FPS average
• High: 113 FPS average
• Medium: 125 FPS average, with a minimum of 106 and maximum of 143
• Low: 159 FPS average

The 4K results show a clear progression, with Low being over twice as fast as Ultra (159 vs 72 FPS). The Medium setting at 4K is notable for having the only min/max data, suggesting it was tested more thoroughly, and its average of 125 FPS is a solid middle ground.

At 2560x1440, the measured averages are:

• Ultra: 121 FPS
• High: 190 FPS
• Medium: 209 FPS, with a minimum of 178 and maximum of 240
• Low: 266 FPS

The 1440p results show a larger gap between Ultra and Low (121 vs 266 FPS), indicating that the GPU has more headroom at this resolution. The Medium setting at 1440p offers the best balance, with an average of 209 FPS and a min/max range that suggests consistent performance.

At 1920x1080, the system achieves its highest frame rates:

• Ultra: 175 FPS
• High: 273 FPS
• Medium: 301 FPS, with a minimum of 256 and maximum of 346
• Low: 383 FPS

The 1080p data shows the system is heavily GPU-bound at lower settings, with Low hitting 383 FPS. The Medium setting at 1080p, with its average of 301 FPS and a min of 256, demonstrates that the RTX 5090 D can easily saturate high-refresh-rate monitors. Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently provides the most complete data with min/max values, and it offers a performance profile that is both high and stable, making it the recommended choice based on the measured results.
