Greedfall

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 lands at rank 1639 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. That places this configuration in the 56th percentile of all tested systems, meaning it outperforms a slight majority of setups while sitting firmly in the middle of the pack for this 2019 Action RPG.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1639 out of 3703 tested combinations indicates a mid-tier position in the database for Greedfall. This is not a top-tier setup for this title, nor is it a weak one. The data shows a system that is capable of delivering playable frame rates at most settings, but it will struggle at the highest presets, particularly at higher resolutions.

Looking at the benchmark landscape, the RTX 5060 sits at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs, which is respectable but not elite. The CPU, meanwhile, ranks at the 91st percentile among all processors, showing that the i7-14700F is a significantly stronger component relative to its peers than the GPU is relative to its own peers. This disparity suggests the GPU is the primary limiting factor in this pairing, a conclusion supported by the frame rate data across resolutions.

The measured results show a clear pattern. At 1080p, the combo delivers 137 FPS on High settings and 87 FPS on Ultra. At 1440p, those numbers drop to 95 FPS and 61 FPS respectively. At 4K, the High preset manages 57 FPS while Ultra falls to 36 FPS. The scaling between resolutions and settings points directly at the GPU as the bottleneck, since the CPU has ample headroom based on its percentile ranking.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F brings 20 cores and 28 threads to the table, running on the Raptor Lake-R architecture with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. This is a 10nm desktop part with a 65W TDP, built for the Intel Socket 1700 platform, and it supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache.

In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU posts strong numbers. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 35122 and single-core score of 4958 demonstrate substantial processing power. The Geekbench scores of 19620 multicore and 2429 single-core reinforce this picture. PassMark results show a multithread score of 41317 and a single-thread score of 4257. The CPU's average benchmark score of 53620 places it at the 91st percentile of all CPUs.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for this performance. The Intel Xeon 6505P scores 53701 on average, which is 0.2% higher than the i7-14700F. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 scores 53469, 0.3% lower. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53288, 0.6% lower, and the AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53206, 0.8% lower. These deltas are minimal, showing the i7-14700F sits in a tightly contested performance band.

For Greedfall specifically, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and handle game logic. With 20 cores and 28 threads, this processor has far more computational headroom than the game requires. The boost clock of 5.40 GHz provides strong single-thread performance, which matters for older game engines that may not scale well across many cores. The data suggests the CPU is never the limiting factor in this combo, as evidenced by the consistent FPS deltas between resolutions when settings remain constant.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is the other half of this pairing, and it carries most of the weight in Greedfall. This Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU is built on a 5nm process at TSMC, with 21,900 million transistors on a 181 mm² die. The chip, designated GB206, features 3840 shading units, 120 texture mapping units, and 48 raster operation pipelines. It includes 30 ray tracing cores and 120 tensor cores.

Memory configuration consists of 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock runs at 2280 MHz with a boost clock of 2497 MHz, while memory operates at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed. The GPU's compute capabilities include 19.18 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio). The pixel rate is 119.9 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 299.6 GTexel/s.

In GPU benchmarks, the RTX 5060 posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3628, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 112787, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 113321. The PassMark G3D score of 20891 and GPU compute score of 10899 round out the picture. The average benchmark score of 26331 places this GPU at the 72nd percentile.

The nearest GPU rivals show interesting comparisons. The AMD Radeon 860M scores 26401, which is 0.3% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce MX550 scores 26421, also 0.3% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary scores 26553, 0.8% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT scores 26011, which is 1.2% lower. These deltas are all within a couple of percentage points, placing the RTX 5060 in a competitive but not dominant position.

In Greedfall, the GPU's 8 GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are relevant factors. The game's demands at 4K Ultra appear to exceed what this GPU can comfortably deliver, with the average FPS dropping to 36. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but becomes strained at 4K with high detail settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data across resolutions tells a clear story about which component limits performance in this combo. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the system delivers 137 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings drops this to 95 FPS, a reduction of roughly 31%. At 3840x2160, the High preset yields 57 FPS, another drop of about 40% from the 1440p figure.

This pattern holds across other settings as well. At Medium, the progression goes from 151 FPS at 1080p to 105 FPS at 1440p to 62 FPS at 4K. At Low, it goes from 192 FPS at 1080p to 133 FPS at 1440p to 79 FPS at 4K. At Ultra, the numbers are 87 FPS, 61 FPS, and 36 FPS respectively.

The percentage drops between resolutions are substantial and consistent, which indicates a GPU-limited scenario. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see smaller FPS deltas between resolutions, particularly at lower settings where the GPU has less work to do. The fact that even at Low settings the 4K performance (79 FPS) is less than half of the 1080p performance (192 FPS) strongly suggests the GPU is saturated.

The CPU's 91st percentile ranking versus the GPU's 72nd percentile ranking supports this interpretation. The i7-14700F has plenty of headroom to drive higher frame rates, but the RTX 5060 cannot keep up as resolution increases. The 4K Ultra result of 36 FPS is particularly telling, as this is the only measured row that dips below what most players would consider playable.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal experience with this combo depends on the target resolution. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 137 FPS, which is smooth and well above the threshold for competitive or fast-paced gameplay. The Medium preset at 151 FPS offers even more headroom, but the visual fidelity difference may not justify the extra frames. Ultra at 87 FPS is still playable and provides the best image quality, though the gains over High come at a noticeable frame rate cost.

At 1440p, the High preset produces 95 FPS, which is a solid experience for most players. Medium at 105 FPS offers a slight advantage in smoothness. Ultra drops to 61 FPS, which is borderline for action RPGs that may involve combat timing. The Low preset at 133 FPS is available but likely unnecessary given the performance at higher settings.

At 4K, the situation becomes more constrained. High settings yield 57 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a game that may have demanding combat sequences. Medium delivers 62 FPS with a minimum of 53 FPS recorded, which is the safest option for maintaining playability. Ultra at 36 FPS is not recommended for a smooth experience. Low at 79 FPS is viable if visual quality is less important than frame rate.

The measured data includes minimum FPS only for the Medium preset at each resolution: 128 FPS at 1080p, 89 FPS at 1440p, and 53 FPS at 4K. These minimums suggest that Medium settings provide the most consistent frame pacing, which can be more important than raw average FPS for gameplay feel. For the best balance of visual quality and performance, High at 1080p or 1440p appears to be the sweet spot, while Medium is the prudent choice at 4K.
