Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT delivers strong frame rates in Greedfall, with the GPU clearly dominating at higher resolutions. Benchmark data shows the combo ranks 582nd out of 1705 tested configurations, placing it in the upper third of the database. At 1080p, the system exceeds 100 fps on every preset, while 4K Ultra drops to 44.7 fps, indicating a GPU-bound scenario at high settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all presets, confirming that the RX 6800 XT is the limiting component at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 167.6 at 1920x1080 to 113.9 at 2560x1440 and 66 at 3840x2160. The Low preset shows a similar trajectory: 231.7 to 161.5 to 95.9. Medium goes from 183 to 124.8 to 75.1, and Ultra from 104.1 to 75.4 to 44.7. In every case, the 4K result is less than half of the 1080p result, and the 1440p result sits between the two. This pattern is typical of a GPU-bound workload: as pixel count increases, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth become the bottleneck, while the CPU's contribution diminishes. The scaling is nearly uniform across presets, which suggests that the RX 6800 XT's performance is the primary constraint at 4K, while the i5-10400F has enough headroom to push 1080p frame rates well above 200 fps on Low.

GPU Role

The RX 6800 XT brings 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1825 MHz, with a game clock of 2015 MHz and a boost clock of 2250 MHz. The GPU also features 4608 shading units, 288 TMUs, and 128 ROPs, along with 72 ray-tracing cores. These specifications support the high frame rates observed: even at 4K High, the combo maintains 66 fps, and at 1080p Low it reaches 231.7 fps. The 16 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for Greedfall's textures at any resolution, and the 512 GB/s bandwidth helps sustain performance at 4K. The GPU's launch MSRP is 649 USD. In synthetic tests, the GPU scores 24980 in Passmark G3D and 3689 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Arc A550M (0.5% faster), the NVIDIA RTX A1000 (1.7% slower), the NVIDIA CMP 50HX (1.9% faster), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (2.6% faster). These deltas are small, indicating that the RX 6800 XT sits in a tightly contested performance band.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the i5-10400F and RX 6800 XT is ranked 582nd out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the upper third of the database, meaning it outperforms roughly two-thirds of all tested CPU-GPU pairings. The rank reflects the strong GPU performance, as the CPU is a mid-range part from 2020, while the GPU is a high-end RDNA 2 card. The data shows that the combo is well-balanced for this title, with no obvious bottleneck at common resolutions. The GPU's 87th percentile standing versus the CPU's 73rd percentile confirms that the graphics card is the dominant contributor to this ranking. The 582nd position is respectable, but it is not near the top, which is expected given the CPU's modest multi-thread capabilities.

At 1080p, all presets exceed 100 fps, with Low reaching 231.7 fps. At 1440p, High and Medium stay above 113 fps, while Ultra drops to 75.4 fps. At 4K, only Low and Medium exceed 60 fps (95.9 and 75.1 respectively), High is at 66 fps, and Ultra falls to 44.7 fps. The data shows a clear hierarchy: 1080p is CPU-friendly, 1440p is a balanced middle ground, and 4K is strictly GPU-limited.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F is a 6-core, 12-thread Comet Lake processor with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. It has 12 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface and 42.7 GB/s bandwidth. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 10297 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1453 in single-core, with a Passmark multithread score of 12115. Its average benchmark score is 14168, placing it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.4% faster than the AMD EPYC 7552, 0.8% slower than the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C, 1.1% slower than the Intel Core i5-8500, and 1.2% slower than the AMD Ryzen Embedded V2546. In Greedfall, the CPU's performance is sufficient to feed the GPU at 1080p, as evidenced by the 231.7 fps Low result. At higher resolutions, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, so the CPU's modest multi-thread performance does not limit frame rates. The 6-core/12-thread configuration is adequate for this Action RPG, which does not appear to demand heavy multi-threading based on the measured results.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K, the Medium preset delivers 75.1 fps, which is above the 60 fps threshold, while High yields 66 fps. Ultra drops to 44.7 fps, so it is not recommended for smooth play. At 1440p, High and Medium both exceed 113 fps, and even Ultra stays above 75 fps, making any preset viable. At 1080p, all presets are playable, with Ultra at 104.1 fps. The data suggests that for the best visual quality while maintaining 60+ fps, Medium at 4K or High at 1440p are the optimal choices. If higher frame rates are preferred, Low at 4K provides 95.9 fps, but with reduced visual fidelity. The measured rows indicate that the RX 6800 XT can handle Greedfall at 4K with Medium or High settings, but Ultra is too demanding for a consistent experience.
