Greedfall with AMD Ryzen 9 7900X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, In-Depth Analysis
The benchmark database focuses on the playable performance of Greedfall when paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070. The captured data includes average FPS across four quality presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, with min/max values recorded for each Medium preset. The CPU is a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 4 part with a 5.60 GHz boost clock and a base of 4.70 GHz; the GPU is an 8 GB GDDR6 model with a 1725 MHz boost, a 1500 MHz base, and 448 GB/s bandwidth. These figures are analysed according to resolution scaling, component roles, and ranking within the test pool.
Resolution Scaling
The measured FPS at each resolution and preset exhibit a remarkably consistent percentage drop from 1920×1080 to 3840×2160. At Low, the 1080p value of 204 FPS falls to 84 FPS at 4K, a reduction of about 58.8%. At High, 146 FPS drops by 58.9% to 60 FPS, while Medium goes from 160 to 66 (a 58.8% loss) and Ultra from 93 to 38 (59.1%). This near-uniform decrease across all quality presets indicates that the GPU becomes the predominant performance limiter at higher resolutions; the CPU, which maintains strong benchmark scores, does not appear to cap throughput.
Between 1080p and 1440p, the loss is lighter: Low falls from 204 to 141 (30.9% loss), High from 146 to 101 (30.8%), Medium from 160 to 111 (30.6%), and Ultra from 93 to 64 (31.2%). The trend continues from 1440p to 4K, where the drop is about 40% for each preset: Low 141→84, High 101→60, Medium 111→66, and Ultra 64→38. This regularity suggests that the game’s rendering workload scales almost linearly with pixel count, and that the RTX 3070’s capabilities are the dominant factor after 1080p.
The fact that Ultra at 4K lands at 38 FPS, while Low at 1080p reaches 204 FPS, underscores that the GPU is much more stressed by high-resolution shading than by CPU compute. The 8 GB frame buffer may also affect higher resolutions—while the card has a peak memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s, the 256-bit bus does not compensate for a potential capacity issue at 4K Ultra. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is only 38, which is the lowest value across all tested combos of this CPU/GPU, indicating that the GPU is the prime constraint.
FAQ
Q: What is the highest measured average FPS in Greedfall with this combination?
A: 242 FPS, recorded at 1920×1080 with the Low preset. The next highest is 160 FPS at Medium on the same resolution.
Q: At which settings and resolution does the RTX 3070 stay just above 60 FPS in 4K?
A: A 4K with High averages exactly 60 FPS, and Medium is 66 FPS. Ultra drops to 38 FPS. Thus, only High and Medium reach the 60 FPS threshold.
Q: What is the range of FPS for Medium detail at 1440p?
A: The dataset gives a minimum of 94 FPS and a maximum of 128 FPS for the Medium preset at 2560×1440.
Q: How does the RTX 3070’s benchmark performance compare to its nearest rivals?
A: The GPU’s average benchmark score is 17208, which places it in the 61st percentile among all graphics cards. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, scores 17083, a delta of only 0.7%—essentially performance parity.
Q: What does the 4K Ultra result imply about the GPU’s memory capacity?
A: The 4K Ultra preset produces only 38 FPS. Given that the card has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 256‑bit bus, the combination likely either exceeds the frame memory needed, especially with this 8 GB resource, or the shading power is insufficient for the 20.31 TFLOPS FP32 throughput—these are not sufficient beyond that resolution.
GPU Role
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is an Ampere‑based card with 5888 shader units, 184 texture units, 224 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. Its core clock of 1500 MHz base and 1725 MHz boost, paired with 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256‑bit bus, yields a memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. In the benchmark suite, the GPU scores 3162 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 22214 in Passmark G3D, and 112821 in Geekbench OpenCL, though the latter is likely less relevant for game rendering.
The synthetic average, from all listed GPU bechmarks, is 17208, and the card sits in the 61st percentile. Its closest competitor, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, is almost identical (0.7% higher), while older cards like the GTX 690 and the mobile HD 7970M are within 1%—indicating that the RTX 3070 remains a mainstream performer in 2025, despite its end-of-life status. The measured FPS in Greedfall at 1080p Ultra (93) is roughly 2.6× faster than the 4K Ultra result (38), which aligns with the GPU’s compute resources and memory bandwidth becoming saturated at higher resolution.
At 4K, the card’s 448 GB/s bandwidth appears to be a significant factor; the Low preset (84 FPS) still stays above the 60 Hz mark, while Medium and High also exceed 60. Only Ultra drops to 38, which may be due to the additional effects and geometric complexity. Therefore, the GPU is clearly the primary determinant of performance, as the CPU is always in the upper echelon of benchmark scores.

The only preset with recorded min/max values is Medium. At 1080p Medium, the range (136–184) spans a 48 FPS window; at 1440p Medium, the 94–128 swing is 34 FPS; at 4K Medium, 56–76 is a 20 FPS downshift—the breadth shrinks as resolution increases, likely because GPU pressure reduces the render variability that the monitor’s V‑sync or frame pacing counteracts.
Notably, High and Ultra at all resolutions lack min/max data, so the average values alone define the performance envelope. The data shows that dropping from Ultra to High at 4K yields +22 FPS (from 38 to 60), while going from Ultra to Medium adds +28 FPS. At 1440p, the same step (Ultra→High) provides +37 FPS, and at 1080p it adds +53 FPS. The relative differences are consistent: Ultra is always the slowest preset, meaning the RTX 3070 has to multitask heavily with the Ryzen’s 12 cores and 24 threads, but that may be oversimplified—the CPU’s single-thread score (Cinebench R23 single of 2016.5, Geekbench single 2617) is extremely high, so the bottleneck is unidirectional.
How This Combo Ranks
In the entire database of measured combinations for Greedfall, this specific CPU–GPU duo begins at rank 1584 out of 3703 tested combinations. Being in the lower half of the list (the top rank is 1) indicates that the majority of tested systems achieve higher average FPS, though the rank does not account for the types of displays used. The presence of 12‑core Ryzen 9 and the 1720‑MHz RTX 3070 generates a frame‑rate profile that is robust at 1080p, but falls behind faster cards at 4K Ultra. The rank 1584 is a positional marker, and the AVG FPS at 1080p High (146 FPS) is higher than that of many cards with more expensive memory, while the 4K Ultra 38 FPS is below the median—this combination is oriented toward mainstream 1440p or 1080p gaming rather than 4K Quality mode.
CPU Role
The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a Zen-4 part with 12 cores and 24 threads, using TSMC’s 5nm process. It has a base clock of 4.70 GHz with a boost capability up to 5.60 GHz, a TDP of 170 W, and supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. In Cinebench R23, it scores 29300 in the multi-core test, a 91st‑percentile result versus all CPUs, and in single‑core it hits 2016.5. Its PassMark average 53288 places it next to the Intel Xeon 634 (52974) and Intel Core i7-14700F (53620) with delta differences of under 1%. Such computational might means—even at 1080p Low—the CPU is hardly strained when Greedfall requires heavy engine logic and collision detection.
The CPU’s multi‑threaded advantage (12 cores, 24 threads, PassMark multi‑thread 51406) makes it nearly impossible to bottleneck the GPU at any tested resolution. For instance, at 1080p Ultra, the GPU still pushes 93 FPS, but the CPU could in theory deliver much more than 200 if the game were CPU‑bound. The steeper drop from Ultra (93) to High (146) to Low (204) at 1080p indicates that the RTX 3070 and not the Ryzen dictates the frame rate. This is further supported by the `65 3DMark 8‑thread 3D` score of 7798 for the processor, which is double the required for many entries.
Settings Recommendations
Based on the measured FPS rows, the best balance of image quality and smoothness depends on the target resolution and refresh rate:
- At 1920×1080: Every preset achieves above 90 FPS on average. The Ultra preset yields 93 FPS, which is playable for a 60 Hz or even 120 Hz panel. If the monitor runs at 144 Hz or higher, Medium (160 FPS) or Low (204 FPS) will fully saturate the refresh rate while retaining acceptable visuals. The data shows diminishing returns beyond Medium; the jump from Ultra to Medium adds 67 FPS whereas High sits in-between at 146 FPS.
- At 2560×1440: Medium provides 111 FPS, High 101, and Ultra only 64. For a fast-paced action RPG, a stable 75–100 FPS is ideal; High at 101 FPS is the highest quality setting that stays above 100. If 120–144 Hz is a target, Medium is required, but Low breaks 141 FPS. Ultra, though visually richest, drops to 64 FPS, which may be acceptable for strict single-player play.
- At 3840×2160: Ultra must be avoided since it only gives 38 FPS. Medium—with its 66 average FPS and 56–76 range—is the most consistent, followed by High at exactly 60. Low provides 84 FPS at the cost of visual detail but is still far from Ultra’s glory. For a 60 Hz screen, High is the obvious choice; for smoother motion, Medium gains 6 FPS but introduces occasional 56 FPS dips.
Given these measured results, the 1440p High preset represents the best compromise between aesthetics and graphical load: it respects 101 FPS average, 1440p resolution, and no discernible stutter. If the priority is maximum FPS, 1080p Low (204) is the answer—but that forfeits the game’s environmental visuals. The 4K Ultra is clearly beyond this hardware’s useful capability, as the 38 FPS average would fail V-sync and require significant reduction.
In summary, the Ryzen 9 7900X and RTX 3070 combination delivers worthwhile gaming at 1440p, with 1080p as the comfort zone, but 4K Ultra is off the table. The rank 1584 position of the combo within the test pool is consistent with these observations: it is a geographically strong pairing for 2K, not a flagship 43.
