How This Combo Ranks

The data places this Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT pairing at position 405 out of 1,705 combos tested in Greedfall, a strong showing that puts it ahead of roughly 76% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the balance between the six-core, 12-thread Alder Lake processor and the RDNA 4.0 graphics card, which together deliver consistently high frame rates across the tested resolutions.

The CPU's percentile standing of 77 among all processors aligns with its benchmark scores: a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 16,518 and a single-core score of 2,332. In Geekbench, the chip posts 9,138 multi-core and 2,221 single-core. These numbers indicate a processor that can keep up with the GPU in most gaming scenarios, though the 3DMark scores show a more nuanced picture — the max-threads score of 5,912 is only slightly above the 8-thread score of 4,779, suggesting diminishing returns beyond eight threads for this workload.

The GPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all graphics cards is supported by its Passmark G3D score of 26,795 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 7,260. The Radeon RX 9070 XT's nearest rivals in the database — the AMD Radeon Pro 575, NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile, AMD Radeon Pro 575X, and AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 — all sit within 0.6% of its average score, making this a tightly contested performance band. For Greedfall specifically, the combo's rank of 405 suggests that the game's demands align well with this hardware's strengths, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU becomes less of a limiting factor.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 9070 XT serves as the primary rendering engine in this combo, and its specifications explain the measured FPS patterns. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1660 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost clock of 2970 MHz. These clock speeds, combined with 4,096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, and 128 render output units, produce a pixel rate of 380.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 760.3 GTexel/s. The FP32 compute throughput of 48.66 TFLOPS is substantial for a 2025 release.

Memory bandwidth plays a critical role in Greedfall, an open-world Action RPG that streams large environments. The 16 GB GDDR6 frame buffer on a 256-bit interface provides 644.6 GB/s, which is ample for 4K textures and high-detail geometry. The effective memory speed of 20.1 Gbps ensures that the GPU's 128 ROPs are fed efficiently, particularly at 3840x2160 where the measured Ultra setting drops to 49.3 FPS — a 39% reduction from High settings at the same resolution. This suggests that the Ultra preset in this game imposes heavy shading and post-processing loads that stress the GPU's compute units more than its memory subsystem.

The GPU's 82nd percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 39,647 place it comfortably above the median, but its nearest rivals in the database — the Radeon Pro 575 and RTX A500 Mobile — show how close the competition is at this performance tier. The RDNA 4.0 architecture, built on a 4 nm TSMC process with 53,900 million transistors, delivers the raw throughput needed to push Greedfall past 100 FPS at 1080p on most settings, as the measured data confirms.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, providing 12 data points for analysis.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings average 246.1 FPS, Medium drops to 195.5 FPS, and High still manages 179.3 FPS. Ultra settings produce 114.2 FPS — a 54% reduction from Low, but still far above the 60 FPS target. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the GPU is rarely the bottleneck; the CPU's single-thread score of 2,332 in Cinebench R23 and 3,481 in Passmark single-thread tests provide enough headroom to drive high frame rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern shifts. Low settings yield 173.5 FPS, Medium 135.4 FPS, and High 125 FPS. Ultra settings average 81.1 FPS, which is a 33% drop from High. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 92.4 FPS, compared to 131.9 FPS at 1080p, suggesting that the GPU's compute resources are becoming more saturated as pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the results show where this combo's limits lie. Low settings still produce a respectable 104.1 FPS, Medium averages 80.3 FPS, and High manages 72.9 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 49.3 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at High settings — from 125 FPS to 72.9 FPS — represents a 42% performance loss, consistent with the 2.25x increase in pixel count. The data shows diminishing returns when pushing toward 4K Ultra, where the GPU's 380.2 GPixel/s pixel rate becomes the limiting factor.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate.

For 1920x1080, Ultra settings at 114.2 FPS provide the best visual fidelity while staying well above 60 FPS, making this the recommended preset for most users. The 246.1 FPS at Low settings will appeal to competitive players with high-refresh monitors, but the visual compromise is significant. Medium at 195.5 FPS and High at 179.3 FPS both offer excellent headroom for 144Hz displays.

At 2560x1440, High settings deliver 125 FPS, which is ideal for 120Hz or 144Hz monitors. Ultra at 81.1 FPS remains playable and is suitable for 60Hz displays or those with adaptive sync. Medium at 135.4 FPS offers a middle ground for users who prioritize frame rate over fidelity. Low at 173.5 FPS is excessive for most displays and unnecessary given the strong performance at higher presets.

For 3840x2160, High settings at 72.9 FPS provide the best balance of visual quality and smoothness, exceeding the 60 FPS target with room to spare. Medium at 80.3 FPS is also viable and may be preferable if the user wants extra margin for demanding scenes. Ultra at 49.3 FPS is not recommended for 4K gaming, as it dips below 60 FPS and the visual improvement over High is typically marginal in this title. Low at 104.1 FPS is playable but represents a significant downgrade in texture detail and effects.

The data indicates that the GPU's 16 GB VRAM and 644.6 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for High settings at 4K, but Ultra presets in Greedfall likely enable resource-intensive effects that push the GPU beyond its comfortable operating range. Users with 4K displays should prioritize High settings to maintain consistent frame pacing, while those on 1440p or 1080p can afford to enable Ultra without sacrificing smoothness.
