GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU104 chip fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, while memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). With 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, the card also includes 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. Its FP32 performance is 9.062 TFLOPS, with a pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s.

In Greedfall, the GPU's memory capacity and bandwidth appear sufficient for the measured settings, as the game is an Action RPG from 2019 that does not demand extreme VRAM. The data shows that at 1080p, even Ultra settings produce 76 FPS, suggesting the GPU has headroom at lower resolutions. However, the 8 GB frame buffer becomes a limiting factor at 4K, where Ultra settings collapse to 31 FPS. The 448 GB/s bandwidth is likely strained by the higher resolution's texture and geometry throughput requirements.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 65 among all GPUs indicates it is a mid-range performer. Its nearest rivals in the database — the Quadro M4000M (1% higher), RTX 3070 Mobile (1.2% higher), and Intel Arc B570 (1.3% higher) — are all within a narrow band, meaning the RTX 2070 SUPER is competitively positioned for its class. The 12 nm process and 215 W TDP suggest this is a power-hungry card, but the data does not include wattage measurements for this game, so power behavior cannot be quantified here.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience per the measured rows, the data points to a clear trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate. At 1080p, High settings deliver 119 FPS on average, which is well above the typical 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. Medium settings increase this to 131 FPS, while Low reaches 167 FPS. Ultra drops to 76 FPS, which is still playable but represents a significant 36% reduction from High. The sweet spot at 1080p is High, balancing visual quality with a comfortable margin above refresh-rate targets.

At 1440p, High settings produce 83 FPS, which remains smooth for most displays. Medium offers 91 FPS, and Low reaches 116 FPS. Ultra falls to 53 FPS, which may introduce noticeable stutter on fast-moving scenes. The recommended preset at 1440p is Medium, providing a 9.6% improvement over High while maintaining a stable frame rate above 90 FPS.

At 4K, the situation changes dramatically. High settings yield 49 FPS, Medium drops to 54 FPS — a counterintuitive result where Medium actually outperforms High — and Low reaches 69 FPS. Ultra is effectively unplayable at 31 FPS. For 4K, Low is the only preset that approaches a playable 60+ FPS, but even that falls short at 69 FPS. The data suggests 4K gaming with this combo requires significant compromises, and Medium at 54 FPS is the highest quality setting that remains marginally playable.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured rows show a clear progression: Low settings average 167 FPS, Medium averages 131 FPS with a minimum of 112 FPS and maximum of 151 FPS, High averages 119 FPS, and Ultra averages 76 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 91 FPS, representing a 54% reduction from the lowest to highest preset. Medium's min/max range of 112-151 FPS indicates relatively consistent frame delivery, with a 39 FPS spread.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 116 FPS on Low, 91 FPS on Medium (min 77, max 105), 83 FPS on High, and 53 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings ranges from 30% (Low: 167 to 116) to 30% (Ultra: 76 to 53), showing a consistent scaling penalty. Medium's min/max spread of 77-105 FPS is wider than at 1080p, suggesting increased frame time variance at higher resolution.

At 3840x2160, the measured averages are 69 FPS on Low, 54 FPS on Medium (min 46, max 63), 49 FPS on High, and 31 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1440p to 4K is steep: Low falls from 116 to 69 FPS (41% reduction), Medium from 91 to 54 FPS (41%), High from 83 to 49 FPS (41%), and Ultra from 53 to 31 FPS (42%). This uniform percentage drop across settings indicates a consistent resolution scaling factor.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the limiting component. For Low settings, the progression is 167 → 116 → 69 FPS across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. This represents a 31% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 41% drop from 1440p to 4K. The compounding penalties suggest that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are increasingly strained as pixel count rises.

For High settings, the progression is 119 → 83 → 49 FPS. The 1080p-to-1440p drop is 30%, and the 1440p-to-4K drop is 41%. The similarity in percentage drops across Low and High settings (both around 30% for the first step and 41% for the second) indicates that resolution scaling is largely independent of the preset chosen. This is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario where the rendering workload scales with pixel count regardless of shader complexity.

Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling: 76 → 53 → 31 FPS. The 1080p-to-1440p drop is 30%, and the 1440p-to-4K drop is 42%. The fact that Ultra at 4K delivers only 31 FPS — less than half of the 1080p result — suggests that the combination of high resolution and maximum visual effects overwhelms the GPU's 8 GB memory and 448 GB/s bandwidth. The data implies the RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary limiting component at 4K, while at 1080p the CPU may play a more significant role given the high frame rates.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the Alder Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, and its 20 PCIe Gen 5 lanes provide ample connectivity.

Benchmark data shows the i5-12400F scores 12,380 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1,680 in single-core. In 3DMark, it achieves 5,912 with max threads and 909 single-thread. Geekbench results are 9,472 multi-core and 1,964 single-core. Passmark multithread score is 19,433 with a single-thread score of 3,481. The CPU's 73rd percentile ranking indicates it is a solid mid-range performer, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (0% delta), Intel Core 3 201E (-0.1%), and Intel Core i5-1335U (0.3%).

In Greedfall, the CPU's role becomes evident at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 100 FPS. At 1080p Low, the 167 FPS average suggests the GPU is capable of high throughput, but the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads must process game logic and draw calls at that rate. The 4.40 GHz boost clock helps maintain responsiveness, and the 18 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency for frequently accessed data. However, at 4K, the CPU's influence diminishes as the GPU becomes the bottleneck — the 31-69 FPS range at 4K is far below what the CPU could theoretically support.

The data indicates that the i5-12400F is not the limiting factor in this combo for most settings. At 1080p Ultra (76 FPS) and 1440p High (83 FPS), the CPU has sufficient headroom. Only at 1080p Low (167 FPS) might the CPU approach its limits, but the measured results do not show any frame rate collapse that would indicate a CPU bottleneck. The 12 threads allow for efficient multitasking, and the Alder Lake architecture's balanced performance makes it a reasonable match for the RTX 2070 SUPER in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 2,150 out of 3,703 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the 42nd percentile of all combinations (calculated by dividing rank by total combos), meaning 58% of tested combos perform better. This is a below-average ranking, but the context matters: the database includes many high-end dual-GPU and flagship setups that would dominate a 2019 Action RPG.

Looking at the CPU's individual standing, the 73rd percentile among all CPUs is respectable, but it is paired with a GPU that sits at the 65th percentile. The GPU's nearest rivals are all within 1.5% in average benchmark score, indicating that the RTX 2070 SUPER is near the bottom of its performance tier. The combo's overall ranking of 2,150 suggests that the GPU's mid-tier position drags the combined result below what the CPU alone would achieve.

The measured FPS data provides concrete evidence of this ranking's practical implication. At 1080p, the combo delivers playable frame rates across all settings, with 76 FPS at Ultra being the minimum. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 53 FPS, which is borderline. At 4K, only Low settings (69 FPS) approach playability, and Ultra is a slideshow at 31 FPS. This pattern — strong at 1080p, adequate at 1440p, weak at 4K — is typical of a mid-range GPU paired with a capable CPU.

The gap between the combo's rank and the CPU's percentile suggests that upgrading the GPU would yield a significantly higher ranking, while upgrading the CPU alone would provide diminishing returns. The data implies this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming with High or Medium settings, or 1440p with Medium settings, where the measured frame rates align with smooth gameplay expectations.
