Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER delivers a playable experience in Greedfall, but the data makes it clear that this is a combination where the GPU is the primary limiting factor as resolution climbs. At 1080p, the system shows a wide performance spread that narrows significantly at 4K, pointing to a component balance that favors 1440p gaming over 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for this combo shows a predictable but steep performance drop as resolution increases. At 1080p with High settings, the system averages 110.8 FPS, which is a strong result for an Action RPG. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same High preset reduces the average to 77.8 FPS, a drop of roughly 30% from the 1080p figure. Pushing further to 3840x2160 at High settings yields just 44.2 FPS, which is about 60% lower than the 1080p result.

This scaling pattern is a textbook sign of a GPU-bound system. The RTX 2060 SUPER’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1440p, but the 4K resolution demands more throughput than the card can deliver. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads from the Comet Lake architecture are not the bottleneck here; the FPS degradation tracks almost entirely with the GPU’s pixel and texture processing limits.

The Low preset data reinforces this interpretation. At 1080p Low, the system hits 153.2 FPS, while 1440p Low reaches 104.1 FPS, and 4K Low still manages 61 FPS. The fact that 4K Low exceeds 60 FPS shows the CPU can feed the GPU adequately even at lower graphical loads. The gap between 4K Low and 4K High is 16.8 FPS, which is smaller than the 42.2 FPS gap between 1080p Low and 1080p High, confirming that the GPU saturates at higher resolutions regardless of settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Greedfall, this specific pairing ranks 1253 out of 1705 combos. That places it in the lower-middle portion of the field, which is reasonable given the hardware generation. The RTX 2060 SUPER sits at the 63rd percentile among all GPUs, and the i5-10400F sits at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs.

The GPU’s nearest rivals in the benchmark database are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, which scores 0.3% higher, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, which scores 0.5% higher. This means the 2060 SUPER is essentially on par with a much older flagship and a slightly higher-tier card from its own generation. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7552 at 0.4% higher and the Intel Core i5-8500 at 1.1% lower, showing the i5-10400F is competitively positioned among mainstream desktop parts.

The rank of 1253 out of 1705 suggests that many other combos deliver better results in Greedfall, but this ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU’s 4K weakness. At 1440p and below, the data shows this combo performs far better than the overall rank implies. The 63rd percentile GPU ranking indicates that most tested GPUs are either similar or faster, but the 1440p High result of 77.8 FPS is solidly in the smooth territory for this genre.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS at each settings preset provides a clear picture for optimization. At 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 66.4 FPS, which is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. Dropping to High at 1080p raises the average to 110.8 FPS, a substantial 44.4 FPS improvement over Ultra, making High the clear choice for 1080p displays. The Medium preset at 119 FPS offers an additional boost but the visual trade-off is less worthwhile than the jump from Ultra to High.

At 1440p, the High preset at 77.8 FPS is the best balance of visual quality and frame rate. Ultra drops to 47.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold most players prefer. Medium at 85.6 FPS and Low at 104.1 FPS are viable alternatives for higher refresh rate monitors, but High provides the best experience per the measured rows.

At 4K, the situation is more constrained. High settings yield 44.2 FPS, which is borderline for an action RPG. Medium at 47.5 FPS is slightly better, and Low at 61 FPS is the only preset that crosses the 60 FPS line. For 4K users, the recommendation is to run Low settings to maintain smooth gameplay, or accept the lower frame rate at High if visual fidelity is the priority. Ultra at 4K is not viable at 27.4 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full dataset for this combo is straightforward. At 1920x1080, the averages are: Low 153.2 FPS, Medium 119 FPS, High 110.8 FPS, and Ultra 66.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 86.8 FPS, showing the GPU has significant headroom at this resolution for settings changes.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low 104.1 FPS, Medium 85.6 FPS, High 77.8 FPS, and Ultra 47.1 FPS. The spread narrows to 57 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS mark. This resolution is where the RTX 2060 SUPER starts to show its limits with the most demanding preset.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low 61 FPS, Medium 47.5 FPS, High 44.2 FPS, and Ultra 27.4 FPS. The spread is 33.6 FPS, and only Low achieves a playable frame rate. The Ultra preset at 4K is less than half the frame rate of 1080p Ultra, which is a massive performance cost for the resolution upgrade.

GPU Role

The RTX 2060 SUPER is the dominant component in this combo’s Greedfall performance. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory is the key resource for texture-heavy scenes, and the 256-bit memory bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The core clocks are 1470 MHz base and 1650 MHz boost, with 2176 shading units and 64 ROPs.

The GPU’s 12 nm TU106 chip has a die size of 445 mm² and contains 10,800 million transistors. This is a large die for the performance class, and the 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is what drives the 1440p High result of 77.8 FPS. The pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s are adequate for 1440p but struggle at 4K, where the pixel count quadruples from 1080p.

The 63rd percentile GPU ranking places this card just above the mid-point of all tested GPUs. Its nearest rival, the GTX TITAN, is 0.3% faster, but that card lacks the 2060 SUPER’s modern features like RT cores and Tensor cores. The 2060 SUPER’s 34 RT cores and 272 Tensor cores are present but unused in Greedfall, which is a DX11-era title without ray tracing support.
