Greedfall

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a robust 1080p and 1440p experience in Greedfall, with 4K Ultra being the only setting that pushes the combination past its comfort zone. The data shows a clear performance ceiling at higher resolutions, driven primarily by the GPU’s capabilities, while the CPU provides ample headroom at lower settings.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution and settings combination for this hardware in Greedfall?*

A: The most balanced experience is at 2560x1440 on High settings, where the combo achieves 95.4 FPS. This provides a strong visual quality while maintaining a frame rate well above 60 FPS, and it leaves headroom for Medium at 105.7 FPS if you prefer smoother motion.

*Q: How does the RX 6750 XT handle the graphical load of Greedfall?*

A: The GPU is the dominant factor at higher resolutions. At 4K, the average frame rate drops to 55.1 FPS on High and 33.9 FPS on Ultra, indicating the card’s 12 GB of VRAM and compute resources are saturated. The data shows a significant performance cliff when transitioning from High to Ultra at 4K.

Q: Is the Core i5-14400F a bottleneck in this game?

A: Benchmark results indicate the CPU is not a limiting factor at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 188.7 FPS, a figure that suggests the GPU is still the primary constraint. The 10-core, 16-thread processor with a 4.70 GHz boost clock provides sufficient throughput for the game’s logic.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested configurations?

A: The combination ranks 834th out of 1705 tested combos, placing it in the upper-middle tier of all systems. This percentile reflects a balanced pairing that outperforms the majority of tested hardware but does not reach the top tier of enthusiast-grade components.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the difference is substantial. The combo delivers 133.2 FPS on Low, but this falls to 58.7 FPS on Ultra. This represents a 55.9% drop in average frame rate, showing that Ultra settings impose a heavy load on the RX 6750 XT.

Q: Can this hardware achieve a consistent 60 FPS experience at 4K?

A: Yes, but only with settings adjustments. At 4K on Low, the average FPS is 79.5, and on Medium it is 60.9. High settings at 55.1 FPS and Ultra at 33.9 FPS fall short of the 60 FPS target, meaning you must compromise on visual fidelity to maintain smoothness at 4K.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a RDNA 2.0 architecture card with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2150 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, with a game clock rating of 2495 MHz. This configuration is responsible for the raw pixel-pushing power observed in the benchmark results.

The GPU’s 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs are directly reflected in the frame rate scaling across settings. In Greedfall, the gap between Low and Medium settings is relatively narrow, but the jump to Ultra introduces a heavy cost. For instance, at 1080p, the card delivers 188.7 FPS on Low and 151.7 FPS on Medium, but this drops to 86.7 FPS on Ultra. This 55.1% reduction from Low to Ultra highlights the card’s limits when handling the game’s most demanding visual features.

Given its 79th percentile ranking among all GPUs, the RX 6750 XT is a solid mid-range performer. The data indicates that it excels at 1080p and 1440p, where its bandwidth and compute power are sufficient for high refresh rates. However, at 4K, the card’s 12 GB VRAM and 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance become strained, particularly when texture quality and post-processing effects are maxed out.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F provides the processing foundation for this combo, featuring 10 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The CPU’s 20 MB of shared L3 cache and support for DDR4/DDR5 memory ensure that game logic and asset streaming are handled without causing frame hitches.

In Greedfall, the CPU’s role is most apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 188.7 FPS, which is a strong indicator that the processor can feed frames faster than the GPU can render them. The CPU’s performance is consistent with its 88th percentile ranking among all CPUs, and its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21914 points confirms its capability for gaming workloads.

The data shows that the i5-14400F is not a bottleneck until the GPU is fully saturated. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 33.9 FPS, but this is a GPU limitation, not a CPU one. The processor’s single-thread performance, evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 2333, is more than adequate for Greedfall’s engine, which relies on a few primary threads for game simulation.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the i5-14400F and RX 6750 XT holds a rank of 834 out of 1705 tested combos, placing it just below the median of all configurations. This positioning suggests a balanced pairing that is neither overkill nor underpowered for the game. The rank does not indicate a weak system; rather, it reflects that many tested combinations feature higher-end GPUs or CPUs that push the average score up.

The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12800H and AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645, with deltaPct values of 0% and 0.2%, respectively. This places the i5-14400F in a performance class where minor clock and core differences do not translate into meaningful FPS changes in Greedfall. Similarly, the GPU’s nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 5600M, which is 0.2% faster, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, which is 0.3% slower.

This rank analysis indicates that the combo is well-matched. The CPU’s 10 cores and the GPU’s 2560 shading units complement each other, avoiding a scenario where one component severely limits the other. The 834th rank out of 1705 is a solid mid-table finish, suggesting that users can expect a dependable performance level without the extremes of either the top or bottom of the chart.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p High, the combo produces 139 FPS, which drops to 95.4 FPS at 1440p and further to 55.1 FPS at 4K. This progression shows a 60.4% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, which is typical for a GPU with 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth facing a 4x increase in pixel count.

The scaling is more pronounced at Ultra settings. The combo achieves 86.7 FPS at 1080p Ultra, but this falls to 58.7 FPS at 1440p and 33.9 FPS at 4K. This represents a 60.9% drop from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the RX 6750 XT’s compute resources are the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The CPU’s influence on this scaling is minimal, as the frame rate drops are directly proportional to the GPU’s workload.

At Lower settings, the scaling is less severe. From 1080p Low at 188.7 FPS to 4K Low at 79.5 FPS, the drop is 57.9%, which is slightly less than at High settings. This suggests that the GPU’s memory bandwidth is a constraint even at Low settings, but the reduced graphical load allows the card to maintain a higher frame rate at 4K than at Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. On Low settings, the average FPS is 188.7, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings yield 151.7 FPS, and High settings produce 139 FPS. Ultra settings are the most demanding, with an average of 86.7 FPS, which is still smooth for most users but shows the performance hit from maxing out all options.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong. Low settings achieve 133.2 FPS, Medium settings hit 105.7 FPS, and High settings produce 95.4 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 58.7 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play. The data shows a consistent 30-40% reduction in FPS from 1080p to 1440p across all settings, reflecting the increased pixel workload.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low settings average 79.5 FPS, Medium settings drop to 60.9 FPS, and High settings fall to 55.1 FPS. Ultra settings are the worst, with an average of 33.9 FPS, which is below the playable threshold for many gamers. The 4K results indicate that this GPU is not suited for maxed-out 4K gaming in Greedfall, but it can handle 4K at lower presets.
