Greedfall

Greedfall, an Action RPG released in 2019, presents a demanding workload for the Intel Core i5-11400F and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination. The measured data shows this pairing achieves a combo rank of 823 out of 1705 tested configurations, placing it in the upper-middle tier of systems. This pairing is notable for its balance: the 6-core, 12-thread Rocket Lake processor provides solid foundation, while the RDNA 2.0 GPU with 12 GB of VRAM handles the game's visual demands across resolutions. The benchmark results indicate that this combo is capable of smooth gameplay at 1080p and 1440p, with 4K remaining challenging at higher presets.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo to maintain high frame rates?

A: The data shows that at 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo achieves 135.9 FPS, and at 2560x1440 High, it reaches 94 FPS. For the smoothest experience, 1080p is ideal, while 1440p remains very playable.

Q: How does the GPU's memory configuration affect performance?

A: The RX 6750 XT features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. This capacity is sufficient for Greedfall's textures, as evidenced by the consistent scaling from Low to Ultra settings without memory-related bottlenecks appearing in the measured FPS.

Q: Is the CPU a limiting factor in this game?

A: The i5-11400F, with 6 cores and 12 threads, shows strong synthetic scores (Cinebench R23 multicore: 14372) and achieves a 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs. Given the high FPS at 1080p (191.3 FPS on Low), the CPU appears capable of feeding the GPU effectively.

Q: What is the difference in performance between High and Ultra settings?

A: At 1440p, the drop from High (94 FPS) to Ultra (59.8 FPS) represents a significant 36.4% reduction. A similar trend is visible at 1080p, where High (135.9 FPS) falls to Ultra (86.5 FPS), a 36.4% decrease. The Ultra preset imposes a heavy load.

Q: How does this combo rank against other tested systems?

A: The combo ranks 823rd out of 1705 tested configurations. This places it in the 48th percentile of all systems tested for Greedfall, meaning it outperforms roughly half of the tested hardware combinations.

Q: What is the lowest FPS recorded in the data?

A: The lowest average FPS is 35.2, which occurs at 3840x2160 resolution with Ultra settings. This is the only measured configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 823 out of 1705 places this system in the 48th percentile of all tested combinations. This positioning is more nuanced than a simple average, as the rank reflects a balance between the CPU's 75th percentile standing and the GPU's 79th percentile among their respective component categories. The data suggests that while both components are individually above average, their combined performance in Greedfall lands them in the middle of the pack, likely due to the game's specific engine demands. The rank indicates that this system will handle the game comfortably at mainstream resolutions, but it won't top the charts for high-refresh 4K gaming. For comparison, the CPU's nearest rivals (AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with 0% delta, Intel Core i7-1260P at -0.2%) and the GPU's nearest rivals (AMD Radeon RX 5600M at 0.2% delta, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 at -1.3%) show that small synthetic benchmark differences translate to meaningful in-game ranking shifts.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture using a 7 nm process from TSMC, featuring 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs. Its clock behavior is aggressive: a base clock of 2150 MHz, a game clock of 2495 MHz, and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. The memory subsystem pairs 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. In Greedfall, this GPU configuration shows a clear pattern: the 12 GB VRAM buffer is never the bottleneck, as frame rates scale predictably with resolution and settings. The measured data shows the GPU's compute capabilities (13.31 TFLOPS FP32) directly influence performance. For instance, at 4K the gap between Low (80.1 FPS) and Medium (61.9 FPS) is 22.7%, while the gap between Medium and High (55.4 FPS) is only 10.5%, suggesting the GPU's pixel throughput limits high-resolution performance. The GPU's 79th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35327, indicates it is a capable performer for this generation of games.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows reveal that the "High" preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance for this combo. At 1080p High, the system delivers 135.9 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and close to the 144 Hz mark. At 1440p High, 94 FPS remains highly playable and visually impressive. The "Ultra" preset, while offering maximum quality, imposes a heavy penalty: at 1440p it drops to 59.8 FPS, and at 1080p it falls to 86.5 FPS. For 4K gaming, only the "Low" preset (80.1 FPS) achieves playable frame rates; "High" at 4K yields 55.4 FPS, which is borderline. The "Medium" preset provides a middle ground: 151 FPS at 1080p and 105.3 FPS at 1440p, but it doesn't offer enough visual uplift over High to justify the slight performance loss. Consequently, the data recommends High as the optimal setting for most users, with Low reserved for 4K play.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers impressive results across all settings. Low settings produce 191.3 FPS, Medium achieves 151 FPS, High reaches 135.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 86.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 54.8% performance reduction. At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong: Low hits 134.1 FPS, Medium 105.3 FPS, High 94 FPS, and Ultra 59.8 FPS. The transition to 1440p reduces all frame rates by approximately 30% compared to 1080p, indicating a GPU-bound scenario. At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. Low settings yield 80.1 FPS, Medium drops to 61.9 FPS, High falls to 55.4 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 35.2 FPS. The 4K resolution exposes the GPU's limits, with only Low settings maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. The data shows a clear pattern: the performance gap between 1080p and 1440p is consistent (~30%), but the gap between 1440p and 4K is larger (~40-50%), suggesting the GPU's memory bandwidth (432.0 GB/s) and pixel rate (166.4 GPixel/s) become limiting factors at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F, based on the Rocket Lake architecture on a 14 nm process, provides 6 cores and 12 threads. Its base clock of 2.60 GHz boosts to 4.40 GHz, with a 12 MB shared L3 cache. The CPU's synthetic benchmarks show a strong single-thread score (Cinebench R23 single-core: 2029, 3DMark single-thread: 868) and a solid multicore result (Cinebench R23 multicore: 14372). The 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17181, places it above most mainstream processors. In Greedfall, the CPU's role is evident in the 1080p Low setting, which achieves 191.3 FPS—a figure that would be impossible if the CPU were a bottleneck. The data indicates that the i5-11400F provides sufficient headroom for the GPU to operate at its full potential. The 12 threads handle the game's background processes without issue, as evidenced by the smooth scaling from Low to High settings. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s (dual-channel DDR4) appears adequate for this workload, as no unusual frame drops are observed in the measured data.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent pattern in how this combo scales with resolution. Moving from 1080p to 1440p, the average frame rate drop across all settings is approximately 30%. For example, High settings fall from 135.9 FPS to 94 FPS, a 30.8% reduction. This scaling indicates a GPU-bound situation, as the CPU's performance headroom at 1080p allows the GPU to be the limiting factor. However, the transition from 1440p to 4K shows a more severe drop: High settings fall from 94 FPS to 55.4 FPS, a 41.1% reduction. This steeper decline suggests that the RX 6750 XT's 192-bit memory bus and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth become insufficient at 4K, particularly at higher presets. The data shows that at 4K, the performance gap between Low (80.1 FPS) and Medium (61.9 FPS) is 22.7%, while the gap between Medium and High (55.4 FPS) is only 10.5%. This diminishing return indicates that the GPU's compute units (2560 shading units) and texture rate (416.0 GTexel/s) are more critical than raw memory bandwidth at lower presets, but at higher presets, the pixel rate (166.4 GPixel/s) becomes the limiting factor. The overall scaling trend—30% drop from 1080p to 1440p, then 40% drop from 1440p to 4K—points to a component that is optimized for 1440p gaming but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K with this game's engine.
