Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti lands in the 683rd position out of 1,705 tested combinations in Greedfall, placing it in the upper half of the database. This is a strong result for a mid-range pairing, though not an elite one. The combo sits above the 60th percentile of all tested systems, indicating that while it delivers smooth gameplay at most settings, it does not dominate the charts. The CPU itself ranks at the 77th percentile against all processors, while the GPU sits at the 74th percentile against all graphics cards, meaning the two components are well-matched in overall capability. The data shows this pairing is balanced, with neither component dramatically outclassing the other, which is why the combo rank reflects a solid but not top-tier standing.

How This Combo Ranks

The 683rd rank out of 1,705 combos places this system in the top 40% of all tested configurations for Greedfall. This is a respectable position, especially considering the game’s age and the hardware’s mid-range positioning. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 19,221 places it nearly identical to the Intel Core i7-8700K, which scores 19,210 (a delta of 0.1%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, which scores 19,364 (a delta of -0.7%). This means the i5-12400F offers compute performance on par with older flagship CPUs, which helps sustain frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 30,849 is similarly close to the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME (30,755, delta 0.3%) and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 (31,112, delta -0.8%), showing that the RTX 3070 Ti performs within a tight band of its immediate rivals. In Greedfall specifically, this combination translates to playable frame rates at all tested resolutions, with the system showing its strength at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K remains playable only at lower presets.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 608.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clocks run at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective), while the GPU base clock is 1575 MHz and the boost clock reaches 1770 MHz. These specifications are directly relevant to Greedfall’s results, as the game’s texture-heavy environments and open-world design benefit from the high bandwidth. The GPU’s 74th percentile ranking against all graphics cards indicates it is a capable performer, and its benchmark scores—23,356 in Passmark G3D and 11,601 in Passmark GPU Compute—reflect strong raw throughput. In practice, the measured frame rates show that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 4K High, the system averages 65.5 FPS, which drops to 41 FPS at 4K Ultra, a clear sign that the 8 GB VRAM and the GPU’s compute resources are being pushed to their limits by the game’s highest settings. The GPU’s 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores do not appear to provide a significant advantage in Greedfall, as the game does not heavily utilize ray tracing, but the raw rasterization performance is what drives the measured results.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a predictable scaling pattern across resolutions, with the system becoming increasingly GPU-bound as resolution rises. At 1080p High, the combo delivers 155.1 FPS, which drops to 107.9 FPS at 1440p High and 65.5 FPS at 4K High. This represents a 30.5% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a further 39.3% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is steeper at higher presets, with 1080p Ultra producing 97 FPS, 1440p Ultra producing 67.2 FPS, and 4K Ultra producing 41 FPS. The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU, as the jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p only reduces performance from 214.3 FPS to 97 FPS, a 54.7% reduction. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, as the difference between Low and Ultra presets (89.3 FPS vs 41 FPS) shows a 54.1% reduction, but the absolute frame rates are much lower across the board. The limiting component shifts from the CPU at 1080p to the GPU at 4K, with the crossover occurring around 1440p where the system still maintains over 100 FPS at High settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide clear guidance on the optimal settings for this combo. At 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 97 FPS, which is still above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, making it the best choice for users with 60 Hz monitors. However, for high-refresh-rate displays, the High preset at 155.1 FPS offers a significant improvement in fluidity with only a modest visual compromise. At 1440p, the High preset at 107.9 FPS is the sweet spot, as it maintains a high frame rate while preserving visual fidelity; the Ultra preset at 67.2 FPS is still playable but approaches the lower end of the ideal range. At 4K, the situation changes dramatically. The High preset at 65.5 FPS is the recommended option for a playable experience, while the Medium preset at 68.8 FPS offers similar performance with slightly reduced visuals. The Ultra preset at 41 FPS is not recommended for smooth gameplay, and even the Low preset at 89.3 FPS, while faster, sacrifices too much visual quality. The data suggests that for the best balance of performance and visuals, users should target High settings at 1440p or High settings at 4K, depending on their display resolution.

FAQ

Q: How does this combo rank compared to other tested systems in Greedfall?

A: The Intel Core i5-12400F and RTX 3070 Ti combo ranks 683rd out of 1,705 tested combinations, placing it in the top 40% of all systems. The CPU ranks at the 77th percentile and the GPU at the 74th percentile, indicating a well-balanced pairing.

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

A: The data shows that 1440p High delivers 107.9 FPS, which is the best balance of visual quality and performance. At 1080p, the system can handle Ultra at 97 FPS, while at 4K, only High settings (65.5 FPS) are recommended for smooth gameplay.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at different resolutions?

A: At 1080p, the system reaches 214.3 FPS on Low settings, indicating the CPU has enough headroom. At 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, as frame rates drop to 41 FPS on Ultra, while the CPU’s performance remains constant. The crossover point is around 1440p.

Q: How does the RTX 3070 Ti compare to its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score?

A: The RTX 3070 Ti has an average benchmark score of 30,849, which is 0.3% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME (30,755) and 0.8% lower than the AMD Radeon RX 6700 (31,112). This places it in a tight performance band with these cards.

Q: What is the GPU’s memory configuration and how does it affect performance?

A: The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with 608.3 GB/s bandwidth. This high bandwidth is sufficient for Greedfall at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K Ultra, the 41 FPS result suggests the memory and compute resources are strained.
