How This Combo Ranks

The combo's 473rd place out of 1705 tested configurations places it in the upper portion of the field. The CPU alone is a standout: it holds the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49166. That score is 0.2% above the Ryzen 9 5950X, 1% above the Xeon Gold 5318H, and 0.4% below the i5-14600KF. The GPU, meanwhile, is in the 81st percentile, with an average score of 37283. It trails the RX Vega 56 by 0.6% and the MX570 A by 1.9%, but leads the RX 5300M by 2.5%. This pairing is CPU-heavy in relative terms, but the GPU still delivers solid performance for Greedfall's demands.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS reveals how the system scales across resolutions. At High settings, the average frame rate is 175.6 at 1080p, 121.1 at 1440p, and 70.8 at 4K. At Low settings, the values are 246.7, 174.1, and 100.0 respectively. The pattern is consistent: each step up in resolution costs a substantial number of frames. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at High is 54.5 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is another 50.3 FPS. This steep scaling indicates that the GPU becomes the primary constraint as pixel count rises. At 1080p Low, the frame rate exceeds 240 FPS, suggesting the CPU has ample headroom to drive high-refresh displays. At 4K, even Low settings only reach 100 FPS, confirming that the GPU's pixel throughput is the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

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

| 3840x2160 | High | 70.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 100.0 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 82.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 48.9 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 121.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 174.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 136.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 81.4 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 175.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 246.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 196.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 112.1 |

At 1080p, every preset delivers more than 100 FPS, with Ultra still at 112.1. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 81.4, but High and Medium remain above 120. At 4K, only Low and Medium exceed 80 FPS; High is at 70.8, and Ultra falls below 50.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 is built on the AD104 chip using a 5 nm process, with 35,800 million transistors. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory runs at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) across a 192-bit bus, yielding 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock is 1920 MHz, boosting to 2475 MHz. The GPU has 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, along with 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores. In Greedfall, the measured FPS at 4K High (70.8) and 4K Medium (82.5) indicate that the memory subsystem and compute throughput are sufficient for this 2019 title. The 12 GB VRAM is unlikely to be a constraint, as the game's asset demands are modest by modern standards. The boost clock of 2475 MHz helps maintain high frame rates at 1440p, where the GPU is still the primary driver.

Settings Recommendations

For a 60 FPS target, 4K High is the best choice, delivering 70.8 FPS. At 4K, Ultra is not viable at 48.9 FPS, but Medium at 82.5 offers a comfortable margin. At 1440p, Ultra is playable at 81.4 FPS, and High at 121.1 provides a smoother experience for high-refresh displays. At 1080p, Ultra at 112.1 FPS is ideal for 120 Hz monitors, while Low at 246.7 FPS suits 240 Hz panels. The data suggests that the combo is best utilized at 1440p High or Ultra, where the balance between CPU and GPU is most even. For 4K, High is the sweet spot; dropping to Medium yields 82.5 FPS compared to 70.8 at High, an increase of 11.7 FPS with likely minimal visual impact.
