Greedfall

The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H paired with the AMD Radeon 8060S ranks 2150th out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database’s performance hierarchy. This position is largely defined by the GPU’s strong synthetic standing—the Radeon 8060S sits in the 87th percentile among all GPUs—being tempered by the CPU’s more modest 79th percentile ranking. The combination does not crack the top half of tested systems, but it also avoids the bottom quartile, suggesting a pairing that can handle the game at reasonable settings without being a high-end showcase. The delta between the two components’ percentile rankings hints at a slight imbalance, with the GPU carrying more of the performance weight than the processor in this specific title.

How This Combo Ranks

The 2150th rank out of 3703 combos translates to a position just past the 58th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning roughly 58% of systems outperform this pairing in Greedfall while 42% fall behind. The data indicates that this combo is not designed for maximum fidelity or extreme frame rates, but it is far from a weak performer. The Radeon 8060S’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks—the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (0.1% ahead) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (0.6% behind)—show that the GPU sits in a competitive band, yet the actual in-game rank suggests that Greedfall’s engine does not fully translate that synthetic strength into a top-tier result. The CPU’s nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (0.1% ahead) and the Intel Core i5-12600K (0.3% behind), reinforce that the processor is a solid mid-range part, not a bottleneck-causing weak link. The combination’s overall rank is thus a product of two components that are individually competent but collectively land in the middle of the pack for this 2019 Action RPG.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon 8060S is built on the RDNA 3.5 architecture with a 4 nm process from TSMC, featuring 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation pipelines. Its boost clock reaches 2900 MHz with a base clock of 1295 MHz, and the memory configuration is listed as "System Shared" with bandwidth dependent on the system, which is a critical factor for Greedfall. The GPU’s FP32 performance is rated at 14.85 TFLOPS, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, making it fully compatible with the game’s rendering requirements. In synthetic benchmarks, the 8060S scores 2162 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 84626 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 80483 in Geekbench Vulkan, with an average benchmark score of 55757. This places it at the 87th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, is virtually identical at 0.1% ahead. However, the "System Shared" memory means that the GPU relies on the CPU’s DDR5 memory, which is dual-channel with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth—a potential limiting factor in a game like Greedfall that can be memory-sensitive at higher resolutions. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 31 FPS, indicating that the shared memory bandwidth and the GPU’s 64 ROPs struggle with the game’s highest settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K, with the GPU becoming the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. At 1080p High, the combo delivers 119 FPS, which drops to 83 FPS at 1440p High (a 30% reduction), and further to 49 FPS at 4K High (a 59% reduction from 1080p). This scaling is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, as the CPU has enough headroom at 1080p to push frame rates above 120 FPS. The Low settings tell a similar story: 167 FPS at 1080p drops to 116 FPS at 1440p (a 31% drop) and 69 FPS at 4K (a 59% drop). The Medium preset shows the same trend with 131 FPS at 1080p, 91 FPS at 1440p, and 54 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, starting at 76 FPS at 1080p and falling to 53 FPS at 1440p and 31 FPS at 4K. The consistent percentage drops across all settings indicate that the Radeon 8060S is the bottleneck at 1440p and 4K, while at 1080p, the CPU’s 14 cores and 18 threads are sufficient to keep the GPU fed, as evidenced by the high frame rates even at Ultra settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the best experience for this combo balances visual quality with playable frame rates. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 119 FPS, which is smooth and visually appealing, while the Medium preset offers 131 FPS—a 10% improvement—but with reduced graphical fidelity. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 76 FPS, which is still playable but represents a significant 36% reduction from High. For 1440p, the High preset at 83 FPS is the sweet spot, as it maintains a frame rate above 60 FPS while providing good visual quality; the Medium preset at 91 FPS is also viable but with less detail. At 4K, the situation is more constrained: the Low preset at 69 FPS is the only option that clears the 60 FPS threshold, while the Medium preset at 54 FPS is borderline playable, and High at 49 FPS and Ultra at 31 FPS are not recommended for a smooth experience. The data suggests that for this combo, the High preset is the optimal choice at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K users should stick to Low or Medium settings to maintain playability. The Medium preset’s measured min FPS values—112 at 1080p, 77 at 1440p, and 46 at 4K—show that it maintains a stable frame pacing, making it a safe fallback if High settings cause any stuttering.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results across all presets. The Low setting achieves 167 FPS, which is the highest measured frame rate in the entire dataset. The Medium setting reaches 131 FPS with a minimum of 112 FPS and a maximum of 151 FPS, indicating a tight frame pacing. The High setting hits 119 FPS, while the Ultra setting drops to 76 FPS, which is still a playable frame rate but shows the game’s most demanding preset takes a heavy toll. At 2560x1440, the performance scales down proportionally: Low produces 116 FPS, Medium delivers 91 FPS with a minimum of 77 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS, High reaches 83 FPS, and Ultra falls to 53 FPS. The 1440p numbers show that the combo can handle the game well at lower presets, but Ultra becomes marginal. At 3840x2160, the GPU’s limits become apparent: Low yields 69 FPS, Medium produces 54 FPS with a minimum of 46 FPS and a maximum of 62 FPS, High drops to 49 FPS, and Ultra plunges to 31 FPS. The 4K data clearly indicates that this combo is not suited for high-fidelity gaming at that resolution, with only the Low preset providing a consistently smooth experience. The min FPS values for Medium at each resolution—112, 77, and 46—show that the frame rate does not dip below 45 FPS, which is a positive sign for stability, but the Ultra preset’s lack of min FPS data suggests it may be too inconsistent to measure reliably.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is a mobile processor with 14 cores and 18 threads, built on the Meteor Lake architecture using Intel’s 7 nm process. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz with a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, and it has a 28 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 112 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache, which is adequate for a game like Greedfall that does not rely heavily on massive cache sizes. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 2021.5 in Cinebench R15 multi-core, 7161 in Cinebench R20 multi-core, and 12804.5 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, with single-core scores of 241, 1010, and 1647.5 respectively. Its PassMark multi-thread score is 21100, and single-thread score is 3399, placing it at the 79th percentile of all CPUs. The nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (0.1% ahead) and the Intel Core i5-12600K (0.3% behind), indicating that the 125H competes with desktop CPUs from a few generations ago. In Greedfall, the CPU’s role is evident in the 1080p results, where the combo achieves 167 FPS at Low settings—a frame rate that would be impossible if the CPU were a bottleneck. The 18 threads provide enough parallelism for the game’s AI and physics, and the 4.50 GHz boost clock ensures responsive single-thread performance. However, the CPU’s 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, shared with the GPU, becomes a constraint at higher resolutions, as the GPU’s "System Shared" memory relies on the same pool. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 31 FPS, which is a GPU limitation, but the CPU’s inability to offload memory pressure to a dedicated VRAM pool likely contributes to the steep performance cliff at the highest settings. Overall, the 125H is a capable partner for the 8060S, providing enough compute headroom to let the GPU stretch its legs at 1080p and 1440p, but the shared memory architecture caps the combo’s potential at 4K.
