Greedfall

In Greedfall, the combination of the Intel Core i7-14700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER delivers playable frame rates across most settings, but the data reveals a clear GPU-bound profile. The combo ranks 1293rd out of 1705 tested configurations, and while the CPU sits in the 96th percentile of all processors, the GPU's 63rd percentile ranking holds the pair back. At 1080p High, the average FPS is 107.4, dropping to 45.7 at 4K High, illustrating the steep resolution penalty.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent and substantial drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 150.3 at 1080p to 102.4 at 1440p and then to 60.1 at 4K. The 4K Low result is exactly 60.1, which is the only 4K preset that reaches the 60 FPS threshold. At Medium settings, the progression is 119.1 → 81.6 → 49.2, meaning the 4K average is less than half of the 1080p average. High settings follow a similar pattern: 107.4 at 1080p, 72.6 at 1440p, and 45.7 at 4K. Ultra settings show the most severe scaling, with 69.0 at 1080p, 46.2 at 1440p, and 30.5 at 4K.

The magnitude of these drops indicates that the GPU becomes the primary limiting component as resolution climbs. At 1080p, even Ultra maintains an average above 60 FPS, suggesting the CPU can feed the GPU adequately. But at 4K, the frame rate collapses to 30.5 on Ultra, a figure that is only 44% of the 1080p Ultra result. This pattern is typical of a system where the graphics card's compute and memory bandwidth are saturated at higher pixel counts, while the CPU's strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6290) is not the bottleneck.

Settings Recommendations

For a target of 60 FPS average, the data points to specific presets at each resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 60 FPS: Low 150.3, Medium 119.1, High 107.4, and Ultra 69.0. The Ultra preset, while the most demanding, still delivers a comfortable margin above the threshold. At 2560x1440, Low (102.4), Medium (81.6), and High (72.6) all stay above 60, but Ultra falls to 46.2, making it unsuitable for a smooth experience. At 3840x2160, only Low achieves 60.1 FPS; Medium (49.2), High (45.7), and Ultra (30.5) all fall short.

The best experience per the measured rows depends on the display resolution. For 1080p users, High or Ultra offer the visual quality without sacrificing frame rate. For 1440p, High is the highest preset that remains above 60 FPS, while Medium provides a small buffer. For 4K, Low is the only viable option for a 60 FPS target; players who prioritize visual fidelity over smoothness might consider Medium, but the 49.2 average is noticeably below the threshold. The data suggests that the RTX 2060 SUPER is best paired with 1080p or 1440p displays for this title, with 4K reserved for Low settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU106 chip, featuring 2176 shading units, 136 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Its memory subsystem includes 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The base clock is 1470 MHz, boosting to 1650 MHz, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). These specifications place the GPU at the 63rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19774. Its nearest rivals in the benchmark database are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (delta 0.3%), the RTX 2070 (delta 0.5%), the Quadro K5200 (delta 0.8%), and the Tesla K40m (delta 1.3%). The RTX 2070, which is only 0.5% faster on average, would likely produce similar frame rates in Greedfall.

The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for the measured settings, as the game's demands at 4K Ultra still fit within the frame buffer, but the low FPS at that preset (30.5) points to compute and bandwidth limits rather than memory capacity. The GPU's 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is a key factor; at 4K, the pixel throughput requirement stresses this figure, and the steep scaling from 1080p to 4K aligns with the bandwidth constraint. The launch MSRP for this GPU is 399 USD, a figure that reflects its mid-range positioning at release, but the benchmark data shows it now sits in the lower half of tested combinations.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the i7-14700KF and RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 1293rd out of 1705 tested configurations in Greedfall. This means it outperforms only 412 other combinations, placing it in the bottom quarter of the database. The CPU alone is in the 96th percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 70104, while the GPU is in the 63rd percentile with an average score of 19774. The disparity between these percentiles explains the low combo rank: the CPU is far more capable than the GPU, and the overall performance is dragged down by the graphics card.

The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-14700K (delta 0%), the AMD EPYC 9115 (delta 0.3%), the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (delta -0.4%), and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 (delta -1.3%). These deltas are small, indicating that the i7-14700KF is essentially on par with the best consumer and server chips. The GPU's nearest rivals, as noted, are all within 1.3% of its average score. The combination of a top-tier CPU and a mid-range GPU results in a system that is CPU-rich but GPU-limited, which is consistent with the resolution scaling observed: the frame rate drops sharply as resolution increases, a classic sign of GPU saturation.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. It features 33 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 44557 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 6290 in single-core, placing it in the 96th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 70104. Its nearest rivals are the i7-14700K (delta 0%), EPYC 9115 (delta 0.3%), Ryzen 9 9950X (delta -0.4%), and Xeon Platinum 8270 (delta -1.3%). The launch MSRP for this CPU is $384.

In Greedfall, the CPU's high single-thread performance ensures that it is not the limiting factor at most settings. The 1080p Low result of 150.3 FPS is well above the GPU's capability at higher resolutions, and the frame rate scaling with resolution is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads provide ample headroom for the game's logic and AI, but the measured FPS is ultimately constrained by the RTX 2060 SUPER. The combo's low rank (1293/1705) is a direct consequence of this imbalance: the CPU is a top-tier part, but the GPU's mid-range standing caps the overall experience.
