FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Greedfall?

A: The data shows 2560x1440 on High settings provides an excellent balance, delivering 93.6 FPS average. This is nearly 40 FPS higher than the 4K High result of 55.6 FPS, while still offering a substantial visual upgrade over 1080p.

Q: How does the RX 6750 XT’s memory configuration affect Greedfall performance?

A: The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. This capacity is more than sufficient for Greedfall’s demands, as evidenced by the smooth scaling from Low to High settings without any indication of VRAM-related stutters in the measured FPS data.

Q: Is the i5-12400F a bottleneck for the RX 6750 XT in this game?

A: Benchmark results indicate the CPU is not a limiting factor at higher resolutions. The 1080p Low preset hits 193 FPS, which suggests the processor can feed the GPU adequately. The i5-12400F’s 6 cores and 12 threads, boosting to 4.40 GHz, provide ample headroom for this title.

Q: What is the expected performance drop when moving from 1080p to 4K?

A: The measured data shows a significant scaling cost. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 137.7 at 1080p to 93.6 at 1440p and finally 55.6 at 4K. This represents approximately a 60% reduction from 1080p to 4K, highlighting the GPU’s workload at higher pixel counts.

Q: Can this combo handle Ultra settings in Greedfall?

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 1080p Ultra, the combo achieves 90.1 FPS, which is smooth. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 61.7 FPS, still playable. However, 4K Ultra results in 37.5 FPS, which falls below the generally accepted smoothness threshold.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems for Greedfall?

A: The combo ranks 798th out of 1705 total combinations tested. This places it in the 47th percentile of all recorded systems, meaning roughly half of the tested setups perform better and half perform worse, a solid mid-tier standing.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 798 out of 1705 tested combinations places it just below the midpoint of the database. This positioning is notable given the hardware’s specifications. The i5-12400F holds a 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the RX 6750 XT sits at the 79th percentile among GPUs. In a GPU-heavy title like Greedfall, this pairing leverages the graphics card’s strength effectively.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 19221 puts it nearly identical to the Intel Core i7-8700K, which scores 19210 with a delta of just 0.1%. This indicates the i5-12400F offers comparable processing power to a previous-generation flagship. The GPU’s average score of 35327 is similarly close to the AMD Radeon RX 5600M (35264, 0.2% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (35787, -1.3% delta), suggesting the RX 6750 XT delivers performance in the same tier as those established cards.

In practical terms for Greedfall, this rank means the combo will handle most configurations with ease but will struggle with the absolute highest settings at 4K. The data shows the system is well-balanced for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it excels, but the 4K Ultra preset exposes the GPU’s limitations.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the primary driver of Greedfall’s performance, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU features 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs, with a boost clock of 2600 MHz and a game clock of 2495 MHz. Its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory operates at 18 Gbps effective, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth across a 192-bit bus.

The GPU’s benchmark results show strong DirectX 11 performance with a Passmark score of 180, while DirectX 12 scores 80. Greedfall, released in 2019, primarily relies on DirectX 11, which plays to this card’s strengths. The 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power provides ample raw throughput for the game’s rendering demands.

The measured FPS data confirms the GPU’s central role. At 4K High, the combo produces 55.6 FPS, while at 1440p High it reaches 93.6 FPS. This scaling pattern, where FPS increases by roughly 68% when pixel count drops by 44%, indicates the GPU is the limiting factor. The GPU’s 79th percentile ranking among all GPUs supports this, showing it outperforms the majority of installed graphics cards.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. The Low preset achieves 193 FPS, Medium reaches 151.6 FPS, High produces 137.7 FPS, and Ultra still manages 90.1 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1080p gaming is effortless for this combination, with even the most demanding preset providing a smooth experience.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong. Low settings hit 131.1 FPS, Medium reaches 106.2 FPS, High produces 93.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 61.7 FPS. The step from High to Ultra at this resolution costs approximately 32 FPS, a significant penalty that suggests the Ultra preset’s additional effects are particularly demanding.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. Low settings still achieve 80.1 FPS, Medium produces 62.1 FPS, High drops to 55.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 37.5 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration in the entire dataset that fails to reach 60 FPS, making it the sole problematic setting for smooth gameplay.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F provides the processing foundation for this combo. With 6 cores and 12 threads, a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz, it offers strong single-threaded performance essential for game logic. The 18 MB of shared L3 cache helps maintain smooth frame pacing.

The CPU’s benchmark results show balanced performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 16518 multicore and 2332 singlecore. The 3DMark tests reveal scaling from 909 single-thread to 5912 max-threads, indicating efficient utilization of all 12 threads. The Geekbench multicore score of 9138 and singlecore score of 2221 confirm its capability.

For Greedfall, the CPU’s role is secondary but not negligible. The jump from 1080p Low (193 FPS) to 1080p Ultra (90.1 FPS) shows that the GPU becomes more stressed as settings increase, but the CPU maintains consistent frame delivery. The 1440p results, where the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck, demonstrate that the i5-12400F has sufficient headroom to avoid becoming a limiting factor in this title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data clearly indicates that High settings at 1440p offer the best overall experience. This configuration produces 93.6 FPS, which is well above the smoothness threshold, while providing substantial visual improvements over Medium settings. The 1440p High preset represents the sweet spot where the GPU’s capabilities are fully utilized without sacrificing frame rate.

For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, 1080p Medium at 151.6 FPS or High at 137.7 FPS are excellent choices. These settings take advantage of the CPU’s strength and deliver extremely smooth gameplay. The 1080p Ultra preset at 90.1 FPS is also viable, offering the full visual experience while maintaining a high frame rate.

At 4K, the recommendation is to stick with Medium settings. The 62.1 FPS result at 4K Medium is the only 4K configuration that exceeds 60 FPS, making it the only viable choice for 4K gaming. The 4K High preset at 55.6 FPS is borderline, while 4K Ultra at 37.5 FPS should be avoided for anything but screenshots.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a predictable GPU-bound pattern. At High settings, the combo produces 137.7 FPS at 1080p, 93.6 FPS at 1440p, and 55.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 32% drop from 1080p to 1440p and an additional 41% drop from 1440p to 4K, totaling a 60% reduction from the lowest to highest resolution.

The scaling pattern indicates the GPU is the limiting component at all resolutions above 1080p. The CPU’s performance ceiling is not reached until the GPU is heavily taxed at 4K, where the frame rate drops dramatically. This is confirmed by the relatively small gap between resolutions at Low settings: 193 FPS at 1080p versus 131.1 FPS at 1440p, a 32% drop, which is smaller than the 44% pixel count increase, suggesting some CPU limitation at very high frame rates.

The data shows that this combo is ideally suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it delivers excellent performance across all settings. At 4K, the GPU’s limitations become apparent, and users should expect to compromise on settings to maintain smooth frame rates. The RX 6750 XT’s 12 GB VRAM is not the constraint; rather, the raw compute power at 4K pixel counts is the determining factor.
