Greedfall

Benchmark data for Greedfall with the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 shows measured in-game results across all presets and resolutions. The combo sits at rank 2967 out of 3703 tested combinations, and the measured averages range from 132 FPS at 1920x1080 Low down to 25 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra. The data is marked as measured rather than projected.

How This Combo Ranks

The Greedfall-specific ranking places this CPU + GPU pair at 2967 of 3703 tested combos. That is closer to the bottom of the tested field than to the top, despite the CPU having strong standalone credentials. The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 35670. The RTX 5050 sits in the 66th percentile of all GPUs with an average score of 21035. The gap between those two percentile positions suggests the GPU is the more limiting half of this pairing in Greedfall.

The CPU’s nearest rivals are tightly clustered. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 scores 35719 with a deltaPct of -0.1, the Intel Core 7 250H scores 35728 with -0.2, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 scores 35802 with -0.4, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X scores 35909 with -0.7. Each deltaPct is negative, meaning those CPUs score slightly higher than the Core Ultra 9 185H, but all are within a very narrow band. The CPU is not the source of this combo’s low in-game rank.

The GPU’s nearest rivals show a similar story with a wider spread. The RTX 5050 is 1.6% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT, which scores 20713. The AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL scores 21153 with a deltaPct of -0.6, the AMD Radeon HD 8970M scores 21237 with -1, and the NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile scores 21379 with -1.6. The RTX 5050 is competitive with its immediate neighbors but not dominant, which matches the mid-pack GPU percentile and helps explain the combo’s 2967 placement.

In Greedfall specifically, the low combo rank is more consistent with the GPU’s 66th percentile than with the CPU’s 85th percentile. The measured FPS data reinforces that reading: heavy presets collapse at 4K, while lighter presets at 1080p show much higher headroom.

Settings Recommendations

If the goal is to keep average FPS at or above 60, the highest preset that still reaches that threshold at 1920x1080 is Ultra, which averages 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, High averages 65 FPS and is the highest preset above 60; Medium averages 72 FPS and offers more cushion. At 3840x2160, no preset averages 60. Low is the best 4K option at 55 FPS, followed by Medium at 43 FPS.

For players who want a wider safety margin above 60 FPS, 1080p High averages 94 FPS and 1080p Medium averages 104 FPS, both well above the Ultra result. At 1440p, Medium’s 72 FPS average gives more breathing room than High’s 65 FPS. The 1080p Low row reaches 132 FPS, which is the highest measured average in the dataset, but it comes at the cost of visual quality.

The 4K rows are the least comfortable. Ultra averages 25 FPS, High averages 39 FPS, Medium averages 43 FPS, and Low averages 55 FPS. None of the 4K presets reaches 60 FPS average, so the measured data points to 4K as a Low-settings-only experience for this combo, or to a move down to 1440p for a smoother result.

FAQ

Q: Does this combo rank higher in CPU benchmarks than in Greedfall?

A: Yes. The CPU alone is in the 85th percentile of all CPUs with an average score of 35670, but the full combo is ranked 2967 out of 3703 in Greedfall. Its nearest CPU rivals are all within -0.1 to -0.7 deltaPct, so the processor is not the reason for the low game rank.

Q: Which 4K preset is best according to the data?

A: Low is the strongest 4K preset, with a 55 FPS average. Medium averages 43 FPS, High averages 39 FPS, and Ultra averages 25 FPS. No 4K preset reaches the 60 FPS average that several 1080p and 1440p presets achieve.

Q: How does the frame rate change between 1080p and 4K?

A: On Low, the average drops from 132 FPS at 1920x1080 to 92 FPS at 2560x1440 and then to 55 FPS at 3840x2160. On Ultra, the same progression is 60, 42, and 25. Every preset loses FPS as resolution increases.

Q: Which component appears to hold the combo back?

A: The GPU. It is at the 66th percentile of all GPUs with an average score of 21035, while the CPU is at the 85th percentile. The GPU also has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 320.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and the 4K Ultra result of 25 FPS suggests that memory and rendering capacity are stretched at higher resolutions.

Q: Are the frame rates measured or estimated?

A: The dataIsMeasured field is true. The Medium presets also include min/max values: at 1920x1080 the range is 88 to 120, at 2560x1440 it is 61 to 83, and at 3840x2160 it is 37 to 49.

Q: How close is the RTX 5050 to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RTX 5050 has an average score of 21035. It is 1.6% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT, and it is 0.6%, 1%, and 1.6% behind the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL, AMD Radeon HD 8970M, and NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile respectively.

The only rows with min/max data are the Medium presets. At 1920x1080 Medium, the measured window is 88 to 120 FPS. At 2560x1440 Medium, it is 61 to 83 FPS. At 3840x2160 Medium, it is 37 to 49 FPS. These windows show that 1080p Medium never drops below 88 FPS, while 4K Medium never reaches 50 FPS. The 4K Ultra row has an average of 25 FPS, the lowest value in the dataset by a wide margin.

GPU Role

The RTX 5050 is built on the GB207 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process by TSMC. The chip contains 16,900 million transistors on a 149 mm² die. Its base clock is 2317 MHz and its boost clock is 2572 MHz, with memory clocked at 2500 MHz or 20 Gbps effective. The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, producing 320.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

Other key GPU numbers include 2560 shading units, 80 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 20 RT cores, and 80 tensor cores. The pixel rate is 82.30 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 205.8 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance of 13.17 TFLOPS. These specifications describe a compact mobile GPU that can handle 1080p comfortably but struggles as resolution climbs.

The Greedfall data illustrates this clearly. At 1920x1080, the RTX 5050 produces 132 FPS on Low and 60 FPS on Ultra. At 2560x1440, those numbers fall to 92 and 42. At 3840x2160, Low averages 55 FPS and Ultra averages 25 FPS. The 8 GB frame buffer and 320.0 GB/s bandwidth are particularly relevant at 4K, where the highest-quality preset drops to the bottom of the measured range. The GPU’s 66th percentile ranking relative to all GPUs is a better predictor of the 4K results than the CPU’s 85th percentile ranking.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H is a 16-core, 22-thread mobile processor from the Core Ultra Series 1, based on Meteor Lake. Its base clock is 3.90 GHz and its boost clock is 5.10 GHz. The cache layout includes 112 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The memory bus is dual-channel, with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth.

Standalone CPU benchmarks show a strong part. Cinebench R23 multi-core is 17984.5, while single-core is 1810.5. Geekbench multi-core is 11657 and single-core is 1794. These results, along with the 85th percentile position, indicate the CPU has enough throughput and single-thread speed for a demanding action RPG.

In Greedfall, the CPU’s contribution is most visible at lower settings. The 1080p Low average of 132 FPS and the 1440p Low average of 92 FPS show that the CPU can drive high frame rates when the GPU is less stressed. As settings rise to Ultra, the same CPU is paired with dramatically lower results: 60 FPS at 1080p and 42 FPS at 1440p. Because the CPU is unchanged across these rows, the decline points to the GPU and its memory subsystem as the scaling limit rather than the processor.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data shows a consistent FPS decline from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 and again to 3840x2160. On Low, the averages are 132, 92, and 55. On Medium, they are 104, 72, and 43. On High, they are 94, 65, and 39. On Ultra, they are 60, 42, and 25.

The 1080p results are playable across every preset, with Ultra at exactly 60 FPS. The 1440p results are still workable, but the Ultra preset falls to 42 FPS while High keeps 65 FPS. The 4K results are the clearest sign of resolution pressure: Low averages 55 FPS, and every preset above Low averages below 43 FPS. The 4K Medium frame window of 37 to 49 FPS is entirely below the 1080p Medium minimum of 88 FPS.

This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound workload. The CPU has an 85th-percentile standing and high benchmark scores, yet it cannot stop the 4K Ultra average from dropping to 25 FPS. The RTX 5050’s 8 GB memory capacity, 128-bit bus, and 320.0 GB/s bandwidth become the determining factors as pixel count increases. For this combo, Greedfall is best understood as a 1080p and 1440p experience, with 4K reserved for the Low preset and even then averaging only 55 FPS.
