GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. It features 7,680 shading units, 60 RT cores, and 240 tensor cores, with a base clock of 2,310 MHz and a boost clock of 2,610 MHz. The GPU's memory subsystem consists of 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Greedfall, the GPU's role becomes evident when examining frame rate scaling across settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 289.8 FPS, but this drops to 135.4 FPS at Ultra—a 53% reduction. This scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary performance driver at higher quality presets. The GPU's FP32 compute throughput of 40.09 TFLOPS and texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s directly influence how the game renders its environments and character models.

The 12 GB VRAM capacity proves sufficient across all tested configurations. Even at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS falls to 54.4, there are no indications of memory-related stuttering or texture pop-in in the measured data. The memory clock runs at 1,313 MHz with an effective 21 Gbps, which aligns with the bandwidth needed for the game's art assets at 4K resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data from Greedfall shows a clear progression as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average FPS moves from 208.9 at 1080p, to 145.6 at 1440p, and finally 85.9 at 4K. This represents a 30% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 41% drop from 1440p to 4K.

This scaling pattern reveals that the system transitions from CPU-bound at lower resolutions to GPU-bound at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 289.8 FPS average suggests the Intel Core i5-14600KF is capable of feeding the GPU with enough frames to approach its maximum output. The CPU's boost clock of 5.30 GHz and 24 MB of shared L3 cache contribute to this headroom.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The pixel throughput requirement at 3840x2160 is four times that of 1080p, and the RTX 4070 Ti's pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s starts to constrain performance. The Ultra preset at 4K, yielding 54.4 FPS, demonstrates that this resolution/settings combination pushes the GPU to its limits, while the CPU has ample remaining capacity.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers high frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 289.8 FPS, Medium achieves 230.2 FPS, High reaches 208.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 135.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 154.4 FPS, indicating that quality presets have a substantial impact on performance even at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 201 FPS at Low, 158.3 FPS at Medium, 145.6 FPS at High, and 94.8 FPS at Ultra. The relative drop from Low to Ultra is 53%, similar to the 1080p scaling. The 1440p Ultra result remains above 90 FPS, making this resolution viable for high refresh rate gaming with maximum quality settings.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens considerably. Low settings yield 122.8 FPS, Medium produces 93 FPS, High manages 85.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 54.4 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration tested that drops below 60 FPS, suggesting that users targeting 4K should select High settings for a smoother experience, or accept the lower frame rate for maximum visual fidelity.

The 1080p Low result of 289.8 FPS stands as the highest measured average across all tests, while 4K Ultra at 54.4 FPS is the lowest. This 235.4 FPS spread highlights the wide performance range of this combination depending on resolution and quality choices.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core i5-14600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ranks 223rd out of 1,705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it firmly in the upper tier of systems. This ranking reflects the balanced nature of the pairing: the CPU's 93rd percentile standing among all processors complements the GPU's 85th percentile ranking among all graphics cards.

The CPU's synthetic performance is competitive with its immediate rivals. Its average benchmark score of 49,367 edges out the Intel Core i5-14600K by 0.4% and the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X by 0.6%, while trailing the AMD EPYC 4345P by 0.5%. In real-world gaming, these small synthetic deltas translate to negligible differences in frame rates, as evidenced by the high measured FPS values.

The GPU's position relative to its nearest rivals shows a similar pattern. The RTX 4070 Ti outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro 580 by 1.6% in average benchmark score but sits 0.6% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile and 1.5% behind the Intel Arc A730M. These differences are minor in the context of gaming performance, where the measured FPS data shows consistent capability across resolutions.

The combo's 223rd rank out of 1,705 suggests that while many systems outperform it, a significant majority—over 87%—rank lower. This places the configuration in the top 13% of all tested combinations, making it a strong performer for Greedfall without being an outlier at the very top of the rankings. The data supports the conclusion that this CPU-GPU pairing delivers a well-rounded experience suitable for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, with playable 4K performance at reduced quality settings.
