GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile is the primary driver of Greedfall’s frame rate, especially at higher resolutions. This GPU features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its clock speeds are listed at a base of 1395 MHz and a boost of 1695 MHz. The measured FPS data shows a clear correlation between GPU load and performance: at 4K, the average FPS drops from 74 on Low to 34 on Ultra, a span of 40 frames per second that highlights the GPU’s limits under heavy pixel-pushing workloads.

The GPU’s position in the broader market is competitive but not top-tier, sitting at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 27435 places it in a tight cluster with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, with delta percentages of 0% and -0.5% respectively. This suggests that in Greedfall, the RTX 4070 Mobile should deliver performance consistent with those desktop counterparts, meaning it is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming but will struggle to maintain high frame rates at 4K with maxed settings. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for Greedfall, a title from 2019, but the data shows that texture-heavy Ultra settings at 4K cause a significant performance hit, likely due to both VRAM pressure and raw compute limits.

The 244.1 GTexel/s texture rate and 81.36 GPixel/s pixel rate are theoretical figures that translate into solid rasterization performance for a game like Greedfall, which relies on traditional rendering techniques. The GPU’s FP32 throughput of 15.62 TFLOPS further indicates a capable mid-range part, but the measured results confirm that it is not a 4K powerhouse. When comparing the 1080p Low result of 180 FPS to the 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS, the data shows a 5.3x performance difference, which underscores how resolution scaling impacts this mobile GPU.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. Its 64 MB of shared L3 cache and quad-channel LPDDR5X memory support (providing 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth) make it a formidable companion for the GPU. In Greedfall, an Action RPG with typical CPU demands for NPC AI and world streaming, this processor is unlikely to be the bottleneck at any resolution. The benchmark results show a CPU that sits at the 95th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77740.

The CPU’s performance relative to its nearest rivals is notable. It is 1.6% faster than the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX and 2% faster than the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX, while being 1.7% slower than the Intel Core i9-14900K. These deltas are small, indicating that the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is in the top tier of mobile CPUs. Its multi-core capabilities, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35314 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 20992, suggest that it can easily feed the RTX 4070 Mobile in Greedfall, even at lower resolutions where CPU overhead is more prominent.

The data shows that at 1080p, the frame rates scale consistently with GPU settings, from 82 FPS on Ultra to 180 FPS on Low. This scaling pattern indicates that the CPU is not introducing a hard cap on performance, as the GPU is clearly the limiting factor when settings are lowered. The CPU’s single-thread performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2464 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2044, is also strong, ensuring that the game’s main thread does not become a constraint. For a game like Greedfall, which was released in 2019, this CPU provides far more headroom than necessary, making the GPU the definitive performance arbiter.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data offers clear guidance for optimizing the experience with this combo. For players targeting a 60 FPS baseline, the Ultra preset is only viable at 1080p, where it averages 82 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 57 FPS, which is borderline, and at 4K, it falls to 34 FPS, making it unplayable for smooth gameplay. The High preset is a better choice for higher resolutions, delivering 89 FPS at 1440p and 53 FPS at 4K. However, for a locked 60 FPS experience at 4K, the Medium preset is the only option that meets the threshold, with an average of 58 FPS and a minimum of 50 FPS.

The Medium preset appears to be the sweet spot for this hardware. At 1080p, it averages 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. At 1440p, it maintains 98 FPS on average with a minimum of 83 FPS, providing a comfortable cushion above 60 FPS. At 4K, it delivers 58 FPS on average, which is playable but with occasional dips to 50 FPS. The Low preset, while offering the highest frame rates (180 FPS at 1080p, 125 FPS at 1440p, 74 FPS at 4K), sacrifices visual fidelity and is only recommended for competitive play or if the user prioritizes maximum frame rate over image quality.

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the data suggests using the High preset at 1080p or 1440p. At 1080p, High delivers 128 FPS, which is excellent, and at 1440p, it provides 89 FPS, which is still smooth. Players with a 1440p monitor should choose High or Medium, depending on whether they prefer higher fidelity or a larger FPS buffer. For 4K displays, Medium is the recommended preset, as it is the only one that consistently stays near the 60 FPS target. Ultra settings should be avoided except at 1080p, where the extra visual features can be enjoyed without compromising playability.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Greedfall, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile ranks 2006 out of 3703 tested combos. This places it in the 54th percentile of all tested systems, meaning it performs slightly better than the median configuration. This ranking is a function of both components: the CPU is a top-tier performer (95th percentile), while the GPU is more mid-range (73rd percentile). The combination results in a system that is well-balanced for mainstream gaming but not at the bleeding edge of performance.

The ranking suggests that while this combo is capable of running Greedfall effectively, there are many other tested configurations that deliver higher frame rates, likely those paired with more powerful desktop GPUs. However, within the context of mobile hardware, this pairing is strong. The CPU’s high percentile ensures that it will not hold back the GPU, and the GPU’s performance is sufficient for the majority of gaming scenarios at 1080p and 1440p. The rank of 2006 out of 3703 indicates that this combo is in the upper half of all tested systems, which is a reasonable expectation for a mobile RTX 4070 paired with a premium Ryzen processor.

The delta percentages between the GPU and its nearest rivals (0% vs. RX 6700 XT, -0.5% vs. RTX 3090) suggest that the RTX 4070 Mobile punches slightly above its weight class in synthetic benchmarks. In Greedfall, this translates to playable performance at high settings, but the 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS confirms that this combo is not intended for maximum resolution gaming. The combo’s rank is likely elevated by the CPU’s strong showing, which helps in CPU-bound scenarios, but the overall performance is dictated by the GPU’s mid-range capabilities.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers the highest frame rates: 180 FPS on Low, 141 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 120 FPS and maximum of 163 FPS), 128 FPS on High, and 82 FPS on Ultra. This resolution is clearly the sweet spot for this hardware, as even the Ultra preset remains well above 60 FPS, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops but remains respectable. The Low preset averages 125 FPS, the Medium preset averages 98 FPS (with a minimum of 83 FPS and maximum of 113 FPS), the High preset averages 89 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 57 FPS. This shows that 1440p is viable for all settings, though Ultra may produce occasional frame rate dips below 60 FPS in demanding scenes.

At 3840x2160, the limits of the GPU become apparent. The Low preset averages 74 FPS, which is playable, but the Medium preset drops to 58 FPS (with a minimum of 50 FPS and maximum of 67 FPS). The High preset averages 53 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 34 FPS. The data indicates that 4K gaming is only feasible with the Low or Medium presets, and even then, the frame rate is not consistently smooth at 60 FPS. The step from Low to Medium at 4K costs 16 FPS on average, while the step from High to Ultra costs 19 FPS, showing diminishing returns as settings are increased. Overall, the measured FPS breakdown confirms that this combo is best utilized at 1080p or 1440p, with 4K reserved for users who prioritize resolution over frame rate.
