Greedfall

In Greedfall, the measured combination of an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 spans a very wide frame-rate range: from 250 fps at 1920x1080 Low down to 47 fps at 3840x2160 Ultra. The combination ranks 837 out of 3703 tested combinations for this game. The data set is consistent in structure: every resolution step from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 lowers the average, and within each resolution the preset order is always Low, Medium, High, Ultra.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured rows show a large, steady drop as resolution increases. On Low, the average goes from 250 at 1920x1080 to 173 at 2560x1440 to 103 at 3840x2160. On Medium, it goes from 196 to 136 to 81. On High, it goes from 178 to 123 to 74. On Ultra, it goes from 114 to 79 to 47. Every one of the four presets follows the same pattern, which points to rendering resolution as a major workload driver for this pairing.

The 3840x2160 Medium row is especially informative. It has an average of 81, a minimum of 69, and a maximum of 93. The 3840x2160 Ultra row averages 47. That means the slowest measured Medium frame at 69 fps is still faster than the average Ultra frame at 47 fps. The gap between Medium and Ultra widens as resolution increases, which is consistent with the GPU doing more work on the higher visual preset.

At 1920x1080, even Ultra averages 114 fps. Low reaches 250 fps. This indicates the system is not being stopped by a low frame ceiling at the lowest resolution. When the resolution is raised to 3840x2160, Low drops to 103 and Ultra drops to 47. The fact that the same CPU/GPU pairing loses so much average performance purely from resolution scaling suggests the limiting component shifts toward the GPU as pixel count increases. The CPU remains capable of delivering very high frame rates in the lower-resolution rows.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The GPU in this data set is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus. Memory bandwidth is listed at 1.01 TB/s. The base clock is 2235 MHz and the boost clock is 2520 MHz. The memory clock is 1313 MHz, described as 21 Gbps effective. The GPU also has 16384 shading units, 512 TMUs, 176 ROPs, 128 RT cores, 512 Tensor cores, and 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 throughput.

These specifications sit behind the measured Greedfall results. The 24 GB frame buffer is very large, and nothing in the measured rows suggests a VRAM ceiling. At 3840x2160, the average ranges from 103 on Low to 47 on Ultra, a pattern more consistent with shading and pixel workload than with memory capacity. The memory clock and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth provide enough data throughput for high-resolution rendering, but the average FPS still falls sharply when the preset moves to Ultra.

The RTX 4090's average benchmark score is 60347, placing it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rival list shows a 0 deltaPct against the Intel Arc Pro A60, meaning effectively an even score. It is listed 0.3 deltaPct above the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48, 2.5 deltaPct below the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M, and 2.9 deltaPct above the AMD Radeon PRO V710. Those benchmark comparisons place this GPU in a high overall tier, which is reflected in the measured frame rates: 178 fps at 1920x1080 High and 74 fps at 3840x2160 High.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Medium is the only preset in the fact pack with measured minimum and maximum values at every resolution. At 1920x1080, Medium averages 196 with a minimum of 167 and a maximum of 226. At 2560x1440, Medium averages 136 with a minimum of 116 and a maximum of 156. At 3840x2160, Medium averages 81 with a minimum of 69 and a maximum of 93. Because the data includes those frame-range bounds, Medium is the most confidence-inspiring choice if consistency matters.

At 3840x2160, Medium is also the best balance in the measured rows. Its 81 average is higher than High's 74 and much higher than Ultra's 47. Its minimum of 69 is also above the Ultra average of 47. High may offer a higher preset name, but the measured average drops from 81 to 74, and High has no min/max data in the fact pack. Ultra at 3840x2160 is the slowest measured row of the entire set at 47.

At 2560x1440, Medium again provides a strong combination: 136 average, 116 minimum, 156 maximum. High averages 123, while Ultra averages 79. Low averages 173 but lacks the measured minimum/maximum. At 1920x1080, Medium's 196 average and 167 minimum are strong, while High averages 178 and Ultra averages 114. Low is the fastest preset at 250, but no frame consistency data is listed for it. Overall, Medium is the most defensible recommendation based solely on the measured rows.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The full measured FPS table is below. Values are taken directly from the data set. A dash means no minimum or maximum value was recorded for that row.

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 47 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | High | 123 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 173 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 136 | 116 | 156 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 79 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | High | 178 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 250 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 196 | 167 | 226 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 114 | — | — |

Within every resolution block, the ordering is identical: Low has the highest average, then Medium, then High, then Ultra. At 1920x1080, the averages are 250, 196, 178, and 114. At 2560x1440, they are 173, 136, 123, and 79. At 3840x2160, they are 103, 81, 74, and 47. The Medium rows are the only ones with both minimum and maximum values, which makes them the only rows that can be used to assess frame variability directly.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H is a 16-core, 22-thread processor with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. It has a 45 W TDP and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU belongs to the Meteor Lake architecture and was released on 2023-12-13, after Greedfall's 2019-09-09 release date.

Benchmark data shows a strong all-around processor. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 17984.5, while the single-core score is 1810.5. Geekbench multi-core is 11657 and single-core is 1794. PassMark single thread is 3697. The average benchmark score is 35670, with an 85th percentile standing against all CPUs. Among its nearest rivals, it trails by small margins: -0.1 against the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350, -0.2 against the Intel Core 7 250H, -0.4 against the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845, and -0.7 against the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X.

In the Greedfall measured results, the CPU side appears strong enough to support very high frame rates. The 1920x1080 Low row averages 250 fps, which is the highest value in the entire data set. Even at 1920x1080 Ultra, the average remains 114 fps. This suggests the processor is not imposing a low frame ceiling in the least demanding resolution rows. When resolution increases to 3840x2160, the frame rate falls across all presets, with Ultra reaching 47 fps. That pattern is more consistent with the GPU becoming the limiting component at higher pixel counts.

The CPU's core and thread configuration provides plenty of parallel throughput for a game from 2019, and the measured frame rates confirm that the combination is not held back by a weak central processor at the tested settings. The 250 fps result at 1920x1080 Low is the clearest single indicator: it is the highest average in the measured table and shows substantial headroom in the CPU/GPU pairing when the rendering load is low.
