Greedfall

How This Combo Ranks

The pairing of the Intel Core i7-14700KF with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT lands at rank 858 out of 1705 tested combos in Greedfall. That places it almost exactly in the middle of the database—the 50.3rd percentile of all CPU-GPU pairings tested for this title. This is a mid-pack result, not a standout configuration, and it reflects a pairing where the GPU is the primary constraint at higher resolutions while the CPU clearly has ample headroom.

The CPU itself sits in the 96th percentile against all processors in the broader benchmark suite, with an average benchmark score of 70104. That puts it statistically neck-and-neck with the Intel Core i7-14700K, which scores 70074 (a 0% delta), and just 0.3% ahead of the AMD EPYC 9115. The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is 0.4% ahead of this chip, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 leads by 1.3%. For a gaming-focused pairing, the processor is not the bottleneck here—the GPU's 79th percentile ranking among all GPUs is the more telling figure.

The measured frames in Greedfall confirm this interpretation. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 87.8 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it drops to 37.2 FPS. The scaling pattern across resolutions shows a GPU-bound scenario as pixel count rises. The RX 6750 XT's 12 GB of VRAM and 432.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth are sufficient for Greedfall's demands at all tested settings, but the raw compute throughput of 13.31 TFLOPS FP32 is what ultimately defines the ceiling.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 22 chip, fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm process. It carries 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, with 40 ray accelerators present but irrelevant for this title. The GPU's base clock is 2150 MHz, with a boost clock of 2600 MHz and a game clock of 2495 MHz—those clocks are what actually matter in sustained gaming loads.

Memory configuration is a 12 GB GDDR6 array on a 192-bit bus, yielding 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 2250 MHz, which translates to 18 Gbps effective. For Greedfall, a 2019 Action RPG, this memory subsystem is more than adequate; VRAM capacity never becomes a limiting factor across the tested resolutions and settings. The pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s give a sense of the fill-rate headroom available.

The data shows a clear GPU-bound scenario at higher settings. At 4K Ultra, the combo delivers 37.2 FPS, which is a 57.7% drop from the 1080p Ultra result of 87.8 FPS. At 4K Low, the average climbs to 79 FPS, indicating that even at lower settings the GPU is still the primary driver of performance. The RX 6750 XT's passmark G3D score of 20700 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2548 place it in the 79th percentile of all GPUs, with its nearest rivals being the RX 5600M (0.2% ahead), RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (0.3% behind), Radeon 880M (0.9% behind), and RTX 3080 (1.3% behind). None of those rivals materially change the performance picture; this is a solid mid-range GPU that does exactly what its position suggests.

FAQ

Q: Is the Core i7-14700KF holding back the RX 6750 XT in Greedfall?

A: No. The CPU ranks in the 96th percentile of all processors, and the measured FPS scaling across resolutions shows the GPU becoming the limiting factor as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 188.5 FPS, which is far beyond what the GPU alone would deliver if CPU-bound.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Greedfall?

A: 1440p High delivers 91.8 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold while maintaining visual quality. At 1440p Ultra, the average drops to 57.3 FPS, which is borderline playable but not ideal. 1080p is fully playable at every setting, including Ultra at 87.8 FPS.

Q: How does the RX 6750 XT compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RX 6750 XT's average benchmark score of 35327 is 0.2% behind the RX 5600M, 0.3% ahead of the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, 0.9% ahead of the Radeon 880M, and 1.3% ahead of the RTX 3080. These are all essentially equivalent performers.

Q: Does the 12 GB VRAM ever become a limitation in Greedfall?

A: No. The measured FPS data shows no anomalous drops that would indicate VRAM overflow at any resolution or setting. The 192-bit bus and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this title.

Q: Is the 4K Ultra setting worth using?

A: Only if 37.2 FPS is acceptable. The step from Medium to Ultra at 4K costs 24.5 FPS (from 61.7 to 37.2), which is a substantial penalty for the visual improvement. 4K Low at 79 FPS is the only 4K setting that clears 60 FPS.

Q: How does this combo rank overall?

A: At rank 858 of 1705 combos, it sits at the median. This is a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically outclasses the other for Greedfall, though the CPU has more headroom than the GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers consistent frame rates across all presets. Low settings produce 188.5 FPS, Medium 149.6 FPS, High 138.4 FPS, and Ultra 87.8 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is 50.6 FPS, which is the largest single-step drop at this resolution. The step from Low to Medium costs 38.9 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High costs only 11.2 FPS. This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces a disproportionately heavy workload relative to its visual benefit.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts. Low yields 132.2 FPS, Medium 106.4 FPS, High 91.8 FPS, and Ultra 57.3 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra is 34.5 FPS, again the steepest step. Compared to 1080p, 1440p costs roughly 30% performance at each preset: Low drops 56.3 FPS, Medium 43.2 FPS, High 46.6 FPS, and Ultra 30.5 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is the first configuration that falls below 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the numbers become more demanding. Low produces 79 FPS, Medium 61.7 FPS, High 54.5 FPS, and Ultra 37.2 FPS. Only Low clears 60 FPS at 4K. The step from Medium to High costs 7.2 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 17.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the weakest result in the entire dataset, and the gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 41.8 FPS.

The overall dataset shows that High settings are the most consistent performer across resolutions. At 1080p High the combo delivers 138.4 FPS, at 1440p High 91.8 FPS, and at 4K High 54.5 FPS. This makes High the only preset that maintains a playable experience at every resolution, though 4K High is only marginally above 50 FPS.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on Raptor Lake architecture, fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, with a 125 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5, with a dual-channel memory bus, and the CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

In Greedfall, the CPU's role is minimal. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (188.5 FPS) demonstrates that the processor can feed the GPU well beyond any reasonable frame rate target. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44557 and single-core score of 6290 indicate a processor with substantial headroom for gaming workloads. Geekbench scores of 19287 multi-core and 2972 single-core reinforce this picture.

The nearest rival data shows the i7-14700KF is statistically identical to the i7-14700K (0% delta), with the EPYC 9115 0.3% behind and the Ryzen 9 9950X 0.4% ahead. For Greedfall, where the GPU is the bottleneck at higher resolutions, the CPU choice has negligible impact on the measured results. At 1080p Low, where CPU load is highest, the combo still achieves 188.5 FPS, leaving no indication that the processor is limiting performance.

Settings Recommendations

The data supports High settings as the optimal choice for this combo. At 1080p High, the combo delivers 138.4 FPS, which is 50.6 FPS higher than Ultra but only 11.2 FPS lower than Medium. The visual improvement from Medium to High is worth the small frame rate cost, while the step from High to Ultra costs 36.6% of the frame rate for diminishing returns.

At 1440p, High is the clear winner. The 91.8 FPS result is above 60 FPS and provides a smooth experience, whereas Ultra drops to 57.3 FPS—a 37.6% penalty. At 4K, no preset is fully satisfactory. High produces 54.5 FPS and Medium 61.7 FPS, so Medium is the only 4K setting that clears 60 FPS. For players prioritizing frame rate at 4K, Low at 79 FPS is the only comfortable option.

The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution. At 1080p Ultra the combo delivers 87.8 FPS, which is playable but represents a 36.6% drop from High for a visual gain that the data does not quantify. At 1440p Ultra the result is 57.3 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it falls to 37.2 FPS. The measured data suggests that Ultra is a poorly optimized preset for this title, regardless of hardware.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU-bound nature of this combo. At High settings, the progression is 138.4 FPS at 1080p, 91.8 FPS at 1440p, and 54.5 FPS at 4K. That represents a 33.7% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 60.6% drop from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the same progression is 188.5, 132.2, and 79 FPS—a 29.9% drop to 1440p and a 58.1% drop to 4K.

The scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU that has limited headroom at higher pixel counts. The RX 6750 XT's 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 13.31 TFLOPS FP32 throughput are the limiting factors, not the CPU. At 1080p, the combo is likely CPU-limited at Low settings (188.5 FPS is near the practical ceiling for many game engines), but at 1440p and above, the GPU takes over as the primary constraint.

The most telling data point is the Ultra preset scaling. At 1080p Ultra the combo produces 87.8 FPS, at 1440p Ultra 57.3 FPS, and at 4K Ultra 37.2 FPS. The 1080p-to-4K drop is 57.7%, which is smaller than the High preset's 60.6% drop. This suggests that Ultra settings introduce a fixed cost that partially masks the resolution scaling. Regardless, the conclusion is the same: this combo is best used at 1080p or 1440p, with 4K reserved for lower settings if 60 FPS is the target.
