Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-12400 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers strong performance in Greedfall, an Action RPG released in 2019. Measured results show this combo ranks 111th out of 1705 tested configurations. At 1080p High the average frame rate is 224.4 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it drops to 58.9 FPS. The data indicates a capable pairing for high-refresh 1080p and 1440p play, with 4K Ultra requiring compromises.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS values across resolutions show a clear scaling pattern. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 316 FPS at 1080p to 221.1 FPS at 1440p and 131.4 FPS at 4K. At Medium, the progression is 250.9, 174.2, and 105.9 FPS. High settings yield 224.4, 156.3, and 93.5 FPS. Ultra settings produce 146.8, 99.2, and 58.9 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings, with the largest absolute decline occurring at Low settings. This pattern suggests that the rendering load scales heavily with resolution, and the GPU becomes the primary constraint as pixel count increases.

The difference between 1080p and 1440p is smaller than the difference between 1440p and 4K for every setting. For example, at High settings, the 1440p average of 156.3 FPS is closer to the 1080p value of 224.4 FPS than it is to the 4K value of 93.5 FPS. At Ultra, the 1440p average of 99.2 FPS sits between the 1080p 146.8 and the 4K 58.9, but the gap to 4K is larger. The 4K Ultra average of 58.9 FPS is the lowest measured value in the entire data set, indicating that this setting is the most demanding combination tested.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 SUPER brings 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with 736.3 GB/s bandwidth. Its base clock is 2295 MHz and boost clock is 2550 MHz. In Greedfall, the GPU's performance is reflected in the high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. At 4K Ultra, the average of 58.9 FPS shows the game's engine is pushing the GPU hard. The GPU's average benchmark score is 53610, placing it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (53489) and 2.9% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (52086). These margins are small, indicating that the RTX 4080 SUPER is a high-end part that performs consistently across workloads.

The GPU's memory capacity and bandwidth are well-suited for high-resolution textures, and the measured FPS at 4K High (93.5) and 4K Medium (105.9) show that the card can handle demanding settings when the resolution is not pushed to Ultra. The 16 GB VRAM is ample for this game, and the 736.3 GB/s bandwidth supports the high pixel throughput required at 4K. The GPU's boost clock of 2550 MHz contributes to its strong rasterization performance, as evidenced by the 1080p Low average of 316 FPS.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It has 18 MB of L3 cache. In Greedfall, the CPU's role is evident at lower resolutions: at 1080p Low the average frame rate reaches 316 FPS, indicating that the CPU can feed the GPU well beyond typical display refresh rates. The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by Cinebench R23, is 2249 points, and its multi-thread score is 15935. Its average benchmark score is 19850, which is within 0.1% of the Intel Core i7-9700 (19831) and 0.4% of the Intel Core i5-11600K (19771). The CPU's 77th percentile ranking shows it is a solid mid-range part. In this game, the CPU does not appear to be a bottleneck at any resolution, as the FPS scales with resolution in a manner consistent with GPU-bound behavior.

The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 910 and multi-thread score of 5890 further illustrate its balanced performance. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration is sufficient for Greedfall's engine, which is not heavily threaded. The boost clock of 4.40 GHz ensures strong single-core responsiveness, which is critical for maintaining high frame rates in action RPGs. The CPU's TDP of 65 W is modest, but the data shows no thermal throttling impact on the measured FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

This combo ranks 111th out of 1705 tested configurations in Greedfall. That places it in the top tier of results, though not at the very top. The individual components are both strong: the CPU's average benchmark score of 19850 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, and the GPU's average of 53610 is slightly above the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT. The high rank suggests that the pairing is well-balanced for this game, with neither component dragging down the other. The measured FPS at 1440p High (156.3) and 4K High (93.5) are strong, while 4K Ultra (58.9) is playable but not ideal for high-refresh displays.

The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-9700 (19831, delta 0.1%) and the Intel Core i7-8700 (19894, delta -0.2%), showing that the i5-12400 sits in a tight performance band. The GPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (53489, delta 0.2%) and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (53414, delta 0.4%). These small deltas mean that the combo's rank is driven more by the game's specific optimization than by raw component scores. The 111th position out of 1705 indicates that many other combinations achieve similar or better results, but this pairing is clearly above the median.
