Greedfall

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the GeForce RTX 5070 delivers strongly in Greedfall, a 2019 action RPG. Measured data shows the combination reaching an average of 265 frames per second at 1080p Low, 208 at 1080p Medium, and still 50 at 4K Ultra. Across all measured presets, the frame rates indicate that this config is solidly above the median of tested combinations, ranking 788th out of 3,703 combos, which is in the top one-quarter of configurations for this game.

Settings Recommendations

The tested presets cover Low, Medium, High, and Ultra at each of the three resolutions. The most meaningful data point for smoothness is the minimum frame time measured, and the dataset includes minima only for Medium at all three resolutions: 73 frames per second at 4K, 123 at 1440p, and 177 at 1080p. These minima guarantee that the frame rate never drops below 60 at any resolution, even in demanding scenes. At Medium, the averages are 86, 144, and 208 respectively, which are all comfortably above the 60 Hz refresh.

High settings produce higher averages (78 at 4K, 131 at 1440p, 189 at 1080p) but lack min/max measurements. The 4K average of 78 is barely above the 73 minimum of Medium, and without data on minimums, one cannot be certain that High never falls below 60. Ultra is the most demanding: 50 at 4K, which is below 100 and would produce visible stutter on a 60 Hz display, while even at 1080p Ultra only yields 121 average. Low presets maximize frame rate (265 at 1080p) but at a clear sacrifice of visual quality.

The recommendation is therefore the Medium preset across all resolutions . It is the only setting level that provides a recorded floor, and that Floor is above 60 at every resolution. The difference from High at 1440p is marginal (144 vs 131), yet at 4K Medium’s average of 86 and minimum of 73 is more robust than High’s 78 average without a floor. For those targeting a 60 Hz experience, Medium is the safest and still offers a high visual quality footprint.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling table is uniform across all preset levels. Taking Medium, the frame rates at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K are 208, 144, and 86. The relative drop from 1080p to 1440p is 64 fps (approx 30.8%), and from 1080p to 4K is 122 fps (approx 58.7%). Similar drops occur in High and Low. For example, in High the percentages are from 189 to 131 (30.8%) and 189 to 78 (58.7%). This consistent scaling across settings indicates that the limiting factor is the GPU as resolution increases. The GPU’s 672.0 GB/s bandwidth and 12 GB VRAM allow it to still produce playable numbers at 4K (Medium gives 85 fps), but the dramatic per-pixel performance hit typical of extreme resolution seem accounted for.

The CPU does not appear to be a bottleneck at any resolution because the drop is purely proportional to pixel count to a large extent. Even at 1080p Low, the CPU manages 265 fps, and the scaling from 1080p to 4K is proportional—alar of about 58.5% for all presets. If the CPU were the limiter, this scaling would differ across settings; since it remains uniform, the GPU is the resolution-limiting component. The 1080p Low data point of 265 demonstrates that the CPU provides ample headroom, since higher settings still yield additive GPU-bound ratios.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination occupies rank 788 of 3,703 combinations tested in the database. That means it is in the top 20% of all configurations—only 787 other combos produce a higher average frame rate in this game. The remaining 2,915 combos lie below. This is a strong showing because the CPU and GPU are both mid-to-high tier products, with the i7-14700F pulling a 91st percentile ranking across all CPUs and the RTX 5070 sitting at the 82nd percentile of GPUs. Their interplay in Greedfall yields a composite performance that sits comfortably above the median, but not in the top echelon—a few frame slips lower than what some enthusiast combos achieve.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F belongs to the 14th Generation Core series, built on the 10 nm process with Raptor Lake-R architecture. It has 20 physical cores and 28 threads, a base clock of 2.10 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The TDP is 65 W, and it supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel controller. The L3 cache is 33 MB shared across the cores. In synthetic benchmarks, it achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,122 and a single-core score of 4,958, which places it at the 91st percentile of all CPUs (average benchmark score 53,620). These figures indicate a strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance capability.

In the game’s data, the CPU limits the frame rate only when the GPU is overburdened. At 1080p Low, the system outputs 265 fps, a value that is likely close to the ceiling of what the game’s code can handle. The CPU clearly provides enough single-thread speed to drive even these high frame rates. At 4K, the frame rate drops because the GPU is bogged down by pixel load; the CPU no longer matters. The uniform FPS drop from 1080p to 4K across all presets (≈58%) means that the CPU is not the limiting factor in any resolution. All of the measured minima for Medium (73, 108, 171) suggest that the CPU never causes a stutter, and its 28 threads ensure smooth operation under OS and background loads.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured average frame rates are shown below. All values are based on direct in-game measurements. Minimum and maximum frame times are included only for Medium settings.

| Preset | 1920x1080 (min–max) | 2560x1440 (min–max) | 3840x2160 (min–max) |

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

| Low | 265 (no min/max) | 184 (no min/max) | 110 (no min/max) |

| Medium | 208 (177–240) | 144 (123–166) | 86 (73–99) |

| High | 189 (no min/max) | 131 (no min/max) | 78 (no min/max) |

| Ultra | 121 (no min/max) | 84 (não min/max) | 50 (no min/max) |

The clear pattern is that the GPU scales nicely with resolution: at the same preset ratio, average FPS decreases by approximately 30% when transitioning from 1080p to 1440p, and another 40% when moving to 4K. The Medium preset provides the only set of min/max data, which demonstrates micro-stutter absence—the difference between average and min is 18–23% at each resolution, showing well-controlled frame variance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 utilizes the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on a 5 nm process and includes a 12 GB GDDR7 memory stack with a 192-bit bus width. This yields a memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s, which is pivotal for texture streaming at high resolutions. The chip runs a base clock of 2325 MHz and boost of 2512 MHz, with 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. It also carries 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores, though game measured FPS does not utilize ray tracing settings. The GPU’s synthetic performance is highlighted by a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 5077 and a PassMark G3D score of 29,137, placing it at an 82nd percentile among all GPUs.

In Greedfall, the GPU is the primary governor at any resolution above 1080p. At 4K, the measured 50 fps at Ultra and 78 fps at High demonstrate that the shader load and pixel fill rate of the GPU are struggling against the 4K render we.**At 1080p Medium, the frame rate exceeds 200 fps, indicating that the GPU is hardly taxed—the bottleneck shifts quickly when resolution scales upward. The 12 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for the textures required by a 2019 title, even at 4K, so memory capacity is not a constraint. The 672.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures that the texture streaming and pixel throughput are maintained, as evidenced by the tight minimum and average frame times at Medium (73 vs 86 at 4K). The GPU’s high shader count and texture units help maintain consistent graphical detail across all presets.

The combo overall consists of a distinctly capable GPU in the 82nd percentile and a CPU in the 91st, ranking the union in the top 25% of all tested configurations for Greedfall. The data shows that this system delivers a smooth 60+ frames at 4K only if setting levels are reduced to Medium, and can hit 144 Hz targets at 1080p and 1440p on High with commanding margin.
