CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is a mobile processor from the Meteor Lake architecture, featuring 14 cores and 18 threads. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz, which can boost up to 4.50 GHz. The CPU's cache structure includes 112 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 18 MB L3 cache. This configuration is designed to handle multi-threaded workloads effectively, which is relevant for Greedfall’s background simulation and AI routines.

In benchmark tests, this CPU scores 12804.5 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1647.5 in single-core. The PassMark multithread score is 21100, while the single-thread score is 3399. These scores place the CPU in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, indicating it is a capable mobile processor. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800, has an average score of 27535, which is a -0.1% delta, meaning the two chips perform nearly identically in general benchmarks.

For Greedfall, the CPU's 18 threads are likely sufficient to handle the game's logic without becoming a bottleneck in most situations. The measured FPS at lower resolutions and settings, such as 1920x1080 with Low settings hitting 160 FPS, suggests the CPU can feed frames quickly enough to keep the GPU busy. However, at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 30 FPS, which could be a combination of CPU and GPU limits, but the general benchmark parity with desktop CPUs suggests the processor is not the primary constraint in this title. The 28 W TDP is a key factor; this is a power-constrained mobile chip, and its sustained performance will depend on the laptop's cooling solution.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear picture of how settings impact performance across three resolutions. The best experience depends on the user's target frame rate and resolution preference.

For 1920x1080, the High preset is the standout choice. It delivers an average of 114 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and suitable for fast-paced action. The Medium preset offers 126 FPS, but the visual quality difference between Medium and High is often significant in this genre for little performance gain (12 FPS difference). The Ultra preset at 73 FPS is playable but sacrifices 36% of the performance of High for marginal visual improvements. The Low preset at 160 FPS is only for esports-style play where maximum frame rate is the sole priority.

At 2560x1440, the High preset again provides the best balance, averaging 79 FPS. This is a solid frame rate for a 1440p monitor and maintains good visual fidelity. The Medium preset averages 87 FPS, which is slightly faster but reduces draw distances and texture quality. The Ultra preset at 51 FPS is below the 60 FPS target and should be avoided unless the user prioritizes visual fidelity over smoothness. The Low preset at 111 FPS is an option for competitive play, but it negates the benefits of the higher resolution.

For 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the only sensible choice, averaging 52 FPS. The High preset averages 47 FPS, which is slightly lower but still playable. The Ultra preset at 30 FPS is not recommended for a game that requires precise timing, as it will feel sluggish. The Low preset at 66 FPS is the most performant but severely compromises visual quality. The data indicates that 4K gaming is possible, but users must accept Medium settings to achieve a smooth experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile ranks 2262 out of 3703 tested combos in Greedfall. This places it in the lower-middle tier of the database. This ranking is consistent with a mobile platform that is not equipped with top-tier desktop components.image

The rank suggests that while the system is capable of running the game, it is not a high-end performer. Many desktop and high-end mobile combos will outperform it. However, the ranking also shows that it is not a weak system, as it sits ahead of roughly 40% of the tested combos. The GPU's 67th percentile ranking and the CPU's 79th percentile ranking indicate that both components are above average, but the combination does not reach the upper echelons of performance.

The deltaPct values from the rivals show that the GPU is nearly identical in performance to the desktop RTX 2080, which reflects the efficiency of the Ada Lovelace architecture. However, the overall combo rank is likely affected by the CPU's power limits and the mobile platform's thermal constraints. For a user with a 1080p or 1440p monitor, this combo provides a very good experience, but for those seeking maximum frame rates at 4K, it will fall short.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile is the driving force for graphics rendering in this configuration. It is based on the AD107 chip with the Ada Lovelace architecture and is manufactured on a 5 nm process. The GPU has 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units, along with 24 ray tracing cores and 96 tensor cores. Its base clock is 1545 MHz with a boost clock of 1890 MHz.

The GPU is equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. The memory operates at 2000 MHz, which translates to 16 Gbps effective. The GPU's texture rate is 181.4 GTexel/s, and its FP32 performance is 11.61 TFLOPS. This is a 115 W part, which is a typical power target for a mid-range mobile GPU.

In Greedfall, the GPU's role is significant, especially at higher resolutions. The measured FPS data shows a clear scaling pattern: at 1080p, the GPU is not the bottleneck, as even Ultra settings reach 73 FPS. However, at 4K, the GPU's limitations become apparent, with the Ultra preset dropping to 30 FPS. The 8 GB VRAM is likely sufficient for this game, as Greedfall is not known for being extremely VRAM-hungry at these settings.

The GPU's benchmark scores, such as a PassMark G3D score of 17469, place it in the 67th percentile. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080, has a deltaPct of -0.7%, meaning the mobile 4060 is slightly slower than the desktop 2080. This is a strong result for a mobile chip. The data indicates that the RTX 4060 Mobile is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but it will struggle to maintain high frame rates at 4K in demanding titles.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across three resolutions and four settings presets.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 66 FPS average. This is the most performant 4K setting, but it sacrifices visual quality.
• Medium: 52 FPS average, with a minimum of 44 FPS and a maximum of 60 FPS. This is the recommended 4K setting, providing a playable experience.
• High: 47 FPS average. Slightly slower than Medium, but still playable for users who prefer higher fidelity.
• Ultra: 30 FPS average. This is too slow for smooth gameplay, making it unsuitable for most users.

2560x1440 (2K):

• Low: 111 FPS average. This is excellent for competitive play at 1440p.
• Medium: 87 FPS average, with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS. This is a smooth experience.
• High: 79 FPS average. This is the best balance of visuals and performance.
• Ultra: 51 FPS average. This is below the 60 FPS target but is playable for users who prioritize visuals.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 160 FPS average. This is extremely fast, ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.
• Medium: 126 FPS average, with a minimum of 107 FPS and a maximum of 145 FPS. This is very smooth.
• High: 114 FPS average. This is the recommended setting for a high-quality experience at 1080p.
• Ultra: 73 FPS average. This is playable, but the performance cost of Ultra is high.

The data reveals a consistent pattern: Medium settings provide the best balance of frame rate and visual quality at each resolution. High settings are also viable, but they come with a measurable performance penalty. The Ultra preset is generally not recommended, as it results in a significant frame rate drop without a proportional visual improvement. For users with 1080p monitors, the High preset is the sweet spot, while 1440p users can also use High, but must accept a lower frame rate than at 1080p.
