Greedfall

The Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER pairing delivers a commanding performance profile in Greedfall, with the data showing a clear hierarchy where resolution and settings directly dictate the experience. The measured frames per second (FPS) across the board indicate that this combo is capable of extreme high-refresh-rate play at 1080p and smooth high-fidelity gaming at 4K, though the most demanding preset reveals the GPU's limits. This analysis breaks down the measured results to guide configuration choices based on the FPS data.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows a predictable yet steep decline as resolution increases, with the delta between 1080p and 4K revealing the growing burden on the GPU. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 210.1 at 1920x1080 to 144.8 at 2560x1440, and finally to 83.9 at 3840x2160. This represents a 60.1% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the primary limiting factor as pixel count rises. The scaling is not linear; the jump from 1440p to 4K costs roughly 42% of the 1440p frame rate, whereas the jump from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 31%, showing that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are increasingly strained at higher resolutions.

Looking at the Low preset, the same pattern emerges with even higher absolute numbers. The average FPS goes from 293.4 at 1080p, down to 204.8 at 1440p, and then to 118.6 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K here is approximately 59.6%, very similar to the High preset. This consistency suggests that the resolution scaling penalty is primarily a function of pixel throughput rather than specific graphical features. The Ultra preset, however, tells a different story: 134.3 FPS at 1080p drops to 93.3 FPS at 1440p (a 30.5% loss) and then to 52.5 FPS at 4K (a 43.8% loss from 1440p). The steeper drop at 4K Ultra indicates that the combination of high resolution and maximum settings pushes the GPU into a territory where its 16 GB of VRAM and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth are fully saturated.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU still has headroom to push frames, but at 4K, the GPU becomes the undeniable bottleneck. For players targeting 4K, the difference between Medium and High is a modest 8.9 FPS (92.8 vs 83.9), while the leap to Ultra costs 40.3 FPS, which is a massive 43.4% drop. This indicates that the Ultra preset at 4K is simply too heavy for stable high-refresh gameplay, while Medium and High remain viable for 60+ FPS experiences.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process and features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s. The GPU's boost clock is listed at 2610 MHz, with a base clock of 2340 MHz. These specifications directly influence the measured results, particularly at higher resolutions and settings where memory bandwidth and shader throughput become critical. The data shows that in Greedfall, the GPU is the dominant factor in determining FPS, as evidenced by the consistent scaling patterns across all settings.

The GPU's 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 66 RT cores (though ray tracing is not heavily utilized in this title) provide substantial raw compute power. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 293.4 FPS, which is likely near the engine's frame rate limit or the CPU's ability to feed the GPU. At 4K Ultra, the 52.5 FPS average is a clear indicator that the GPU is working at its limits, with the 16 GB VRAM buffer being filled by high-resolution textures and effects. The memory clock of 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) is adequate for most scenarios, but the 4K Ultra results suggest that texture bandwidth is a limiting factor.

Compared to its nearest rivals in the GPU benchmark database, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 48704 is 0.7% lower than the NVIDIA CMP 50HX, but 1.6% higher than the NVIDIA RTX A2000 and 2% higher than the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile. These deltas are small, indicating that the 4070 Ti SUPER is a solid mid-to-high-range performer, but not a top-tier enthusiast card. In Greedfall, this translates to excellent 1080p and 1440p performance, with 4K being playable only on lower presets.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific pairing of the Intel Core i7-14700F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 228th out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the top 13.4% of all configurations. This is a strong showing, indicating that the combination is well-balanced for this title, with neither component being a major weak link. The CPU percentile of 94 (vs all CPUs) and GPU percentile of 86 (vs all GPUs) suggest that the processor is slightly more capable relative to its peers than the graphics card, but both are above the 85th percentile, ensuring a high level of performance.

The combo rank of 228 is particularly impressive given the number of tested combos. It means that only 227 other CPU-GPU pairings outperform this setup in Greedfall, which confirms the i7-14700F's 20 cores and 28 threads, as well as the 4070 Ti SUPER's raw power. The CPU's boost clock of 5.40 GHz and 33 MB of shared L3 cache help maintain high frame times, especially at 1080p where the CPU has more influence. The data does not list specific rival combo rankings, but the percentile values indicate that this setup is well above average and should handle any settings configuration except for the most extreme 4K Ultra scenario.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1920x1080, the High preset delivers an average of 210.1 FPS, which is more than enough for any high-refresh-rate monitor. The Ultra preset at 134.3 FPS is still very playable and provides the best visual fidelity. Given the CPU's strength, there is no reason to drop below High at 1080p, as even Ultra maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. The Low preset at 293.4 FPS is overkill for most displays and sacrifices visual quality unnecessarily.

At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves 144.8 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 161.5 FPS offers a slight performance boost but with reduced visual fidelity, while Ultra drops to 93.3 FPS, which is still playable but not ideal for fast-paced action. For a balanced experience, High is the recommended choice at 1440p, as it provides a significant visual upgrade over Medium with only a 10.3% FPS penalty. The 4K resolution presents a more challenging scenario. At 3840x2160, the High preset averages 83.9 FPS, which is smooth for most players. The Medium preset at 92.8 FPS is also viable, but the Ultra preset at 52.5 FPS is only suitable for players who prioritize visuals over frame rate and can tolerate sub-60 FPS.

The data shows that the High preset is the best all-around choice across all three resolutions, offering a strong balance between visual quality and performance. The Ultra preset is only recommended for 1080p and 1440p if the user has a high-refresh-rate display and values maximum detail. For 4K, sticking to High or Medium is the practical approach to maintain a playable frame rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all resolution and settings combinations. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 293.4 at Low, 229.0 at Medium, 210.1 at High, and 134.3 at Ultra. This shows a clear gradient, with the Low preset providing roughly 2.2 times the frame rate of Ultra. The transition from Low to Medium costs 64.4 FPS (a 21.9% drop), while High to Ultra costs 75.8 FPS (a 36.1% drop), indicating that Ultra has a disproportionately heavy impact on performance.

At 2560x1440, the numbers are 204.8 at Low, 161.5 at Medium, 144.8 at High, and 93.3 at Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is 111.5 FPS, or 54.4% of the Low value. The Medium to High gap is 16.7 FPS, which is relatively small, suggesting that Medium and High are closely matched in terms of performance cost. At 3840x2160, the averages are 118.6 at Low, 92.8 at Medium, 83.9 at High, and 52.5 at Ultra. The gap between High and Ultra is 31.4 FPS, which is the largest single-step drop in the entire dataset, confirming that the Ultra preset at 4K is the most demanding configuration tested.

The FPS data also reveals that the scaling from 1080p to 4K is not uniform across settings. For Low, the 4K to 1080p ratio is 40.4% (118.6 / 293.4), while for Ultra it is 39.1% (52.5 / 134.3). This consistency indicates that the GPU's performance scaling is resolution-bound, not settings-bound, for this title. The minimum and maximum FPS values are not provided, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS, which is sufficient for understanding general performance trends.
