Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-12600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers a measured performance profile in Greedfall that is both high and consistent across resolutions. With 12 measured FPS data points spanning 1080p, 1440p, and 4K across four quality presets, the combination ranks 148th out of 1,705 tested combos, placing it in the top 9% of all systems. The data reveals a system that is clearly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while still capable of extremely high frame rates at 1080p, making it a strong candidate for high-refresh-rate monitors and 4K gaming alike.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. Its 20 MB of shared L3 cache and support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory position it as a versatile desktop part. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23,444 and a single-core score of 3,309, while PassMark reports a multithread score of 27,575 and a single-thread score of 3,925. These numbers place the i5-12600KF at the 84th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27,827. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-10900K (average score 27,829, delta 0%), the i5-12600K (27,851, -0.1%), the Core Ultra 5 125H (27,872, -0.2%), and the i7-13700H (27,716, +0.4%). The i5-12600KF is essentially tied with these parts, showing that its performance is competitive with both older high-end and newer mid-range processors.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p, where the measured FPS reaches 306.2 on Low settings. This high frame rate suggests that the processor is not a bottleneck at that resolution, as the GPU is still able to push well beyond typical refresh rates. The strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core 3,309) likely helps with the game's logic and draw-call processing, while the 10 cores provide ample headroom for background tasks. The launch MSRP for this CPU is $264, though that figure is not directly tied to its in-game performance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB203 chip, featuring 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. It comes with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s. The base clock is 2,295 MHz with a boost of 2,452 MHz, and memory runs at 1,750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The GPU's average benchmark score is 52,086, placing it at the 87th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (average score 52,085, delta 0%), the AMD Radeon RX 7700S (52,505, -0.8%), the NVIDIA RTX A1000 (50,826, +2.5%), and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (53,414, -2.5%). The RTX 5070 Ti is effectively on par with the RTX 4080, with a negligible 0.0% difference.

In Greedfall, the GPU is the primary driver of frame rates at 1440p and 4K. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 58.7 FPS, while at 4K High it reaches 88.4 FPS. The 16 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for a 2019 title like Greedfall, and the high memory bandwidth supports smooth texture streaming. The GPU's launch MSRP is 749 USD, but again, this is not a performance metric. The data shows that the RTX 5070 Ti is a high-end card that can handle Greedfall at 4K with High settings comfortably, and at 1440p it exceeds 150 FPS on High.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all three resolutions. At 1080p, High delivers 218.1 FPS, which is more than enough for any high-refresh-rate display, while Ultra drops to 140.3 FPS — still playable but with diminishing returns. At 1440p, High yields 152.9 FPS, comfortably above 144 Hz, whereas Ultra falls to 97 FPS, which is still smooth but not as fluid. At 4K, High achieves 88.4 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold for most monitors, while Ultra drops to 58.7 FPS, just below that mark. Medium settings provide a slight performance boost (99.2 FPS at 4K, 166.4 at 1440p, 239.4 at 1080p) but with a noticeable reduction in visual fidelity. Low settings are only recommended for extreme frame rate targets, such as 306.2 FPS at 1080p, but they sacrifice too much image quality for typical use. Therefore, High is the recommended preset for this combo, as it maintains high frame rates at every resolution while preserving the game's intended visual detail.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti ranks 148th out of 1,705 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the 91st percentile of all systems, meaning it outperforms 91.3% of the tested configurations. The rank reflects the synergy between a strong mid-range CPU and a high-end GPU. The CPU's 84th percentile standing and the GPU's 87th percentile standing combine to produce a system that is well above average for this game. The nearest rival combos are not listed, but the individual component benchmarks suggest that the i5-12600KF is on par with the i9-10900K, and the RTX 5070 Ti matches the RTX 4080, so this combo should be competitive with many high-end builds. The rank of 148 out of 1,705 is a strong indicator that this pairing is well-suited for Greedfall, offering high frame rates across all settings and resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values from the FACT PACK:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 88.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 127.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 99.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 58.7 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 152.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 209.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 166.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 97.0 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 218.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 306.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 239.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 140.3 |

The data shows a clear progression: as resolution increases, FPS drops consistently across all settings. At 1080p, even Ultra settings exceed 140 FPS, while at 4K, only Low and Medium stay above 100 FPS. The High preset at 4K (88.4 FPS) is the most balanced option for 4K displays, while 1440p High (152.9 FPS) is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is remarkably consistent across all quality presets. For High settings, the average FPS falls from 218.1 at 1080p to 88.4 at 4K, a reduction of 59.5%. Low settings drop from 306.2 to 127.5, a 58.4% decrease. Medium settings go from 239.4 to 99.2, a 58.6% drop, and Ultra from 140.3 to 58.7, a 58.2% reduction. This uniformity indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the percentage loss is nearly identical regardless of the preset. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the drop would be less pronounced at lower settings, but the consistent scaling points to the GPU's rendering load being the primary constraint. At 1080p, the CPU is able to feed the GPU sufficiently, as evidenced by the 306.2 FPS on Low, but as pixel count increases, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth become the dominant factors. The RTX 5070 Ti's 16 GB of GDDR7 and 896 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for Greedfall, but the game's engine still scales heavily with resolution, as shown by the 58-59% FPS reduction from 1080p to 4K. This suggests that for 4K gaming, users should expect roughly 40% of the 1080p performance, which is typical for modern GPUs. The data also implies that the i5-12600KF has ample headroom at 1080p, as the FPS ceiling is not reached until well above 300 FPS, making this combo a strong choice for esports-style play at lower resolutions.
