Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of how performance scales with resolution. At 1080p, the combo is heavily GPU-limited, with frame rates that exceed 200 FPS at Low settings (228 FPS average) and remain very high at High settings (163 FPS). Moving to 1440p, the frame rates drop by roughly 30-35% across all settings, which is a typical scaling factor for this resolution jump. At 4K, the drop is more severe, with frame rates falling by another 40-50% compared to 1440p. This indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU.

Specifically, at High settings, the average FPS goes from 163 at 1080p to 113 at 1440p (a 31% drop), and then to 67 at 4K (a 41% drop from 1440p). This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU that is powerful but not limitless. The RTX 4080’s 16GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 4K, but the raw compute power (48.74 TFLOPS FP32) is what determines the frame rate. At 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 43 FPS, which shows that the most demanding settings require a significant reduction in resolution or settings to achieve smooth gameplay.

The data suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck at any resolution. The Core Ultra X7 368H has a boost clock of 5.00 GHz and a single-thread score of 3984 in Cinebench R23, which is strong for gaming. Even at 1080p Low, where the CPU is most likely to be a limiting factor, the average FPS of 228 shows that the processor can handle high frame rates without holding back the GPU. The limiting component in this pairing is clearly the GPU at higher resolutions, which is typical for a mobile CPU paired with a high-end discrete GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. At Low settings, the average FPS is 228, which is extremely high and suitable for competitive play or high refresh rate displays. At Medium settings, the average drops to 179 FPS, with a minimum of 152 and a maximum of 206, showing consistent frame times. High settings yield an average of 163 FPS, which is still very smooth. Ultra settings reduce the average to 104 FPS, which remains playable but shows the expected performance hit from maxing out all graphical features.

At 2560x1440, the performance is still excellent but shows the GPU working harder. Low settings produce an average of 158 FPS, which is a 31% drop from 1080p. Medium settings average 124 FPS, with a minimum of 106 and a maximum of 143. High settings average 113 FPS, which is ideal for a 120Hz display. Ultra settings drop to 72 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold and suitable for a 4K TV or a 1440p monitor with G-Sync.

At 3840x2160, the combo enters the bounds of demanding 4K gaming. Low settings average 94 FPS, which is playable but not as high as the lower resolutions. Medium settings average 74 FPS, with a minimum of 63 and a maximum of 85, showing that even the minimum frame rate is above 60. High settings average 67 FPS, which is a solid result for 4K. Ultra settings drop to 43 FPS, which is below the ideal 60 FPS threshold and indicates that this setting is too demanding for consistent smoothness at 4K.

The data shows that the combo is capable of handling 4K at High settings with an average of 67 FPS, but the jump to Ultra (43 FPS) represents a 36% performance penalty. This is a significant drop, suggesting that Ultra settings enable features that heavily tax the GPU’s memory bandwidth or shading units. The minimum FPS data is only available for Medium settings, which shows that the combo maintains a floor of 63 FPS at 4K and 106 FPS at 1440p, indicating stable performance without major stutters.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1080p, the data shows that Medium settings are the best choice for high refresh rate gaming, delivering an average of 179 FPS with a minimum of 152. This ensures smooth gameplay even in demanding scenes. High settings at 1080p also work well at 163 FPS, but the extra visual fidelity may not be worth the 9% performance drop. Ultra at 1080p drops to 104 FPS, which is still playable but not ideal for a 144Hz monitor.

At 1440p, High settings are the sweet spot, delivering an average of 113 FPS. This is perfect for a 120Hz display and provides a good balance of visual quality and performance. Medium settings at 1440p average 124 FPS, which is also viable, but the visual difference between Medium and High is often significant in Greedfall’s environments. Ultra at 1440p drops to 72 FPS, which is playable but not recommended if you have a high refresh rate monitor, as you are leaving performance on the table.

At 4K, the recommendation is to use High settings, which deliver an average of 67 FPS. This is just above the 60 FPS target and provides a good balance of visual fidelity and smoothness. Medium settings at 4K average 74 FPS, which is slightly better but may show a noticeable reduction in texture quality and effects. Ultra at 4K should be avoided, as the 43 FPS average is below the playable threshold for most users. Low settings are not recommended at any resolution, as the visual quality drop is severe and the performance gains are not necessary given the high frame rates at Medium and High.

For the best overall experience, the data suggests using High settings at 1440p. This provides a high frame rate (113 FPS) with excellent visual quality, and it is a setting where the combo performs without any risk of dropping below 60 FPS. If you have a 4K display, High at 4K is also viable, but you will need to accept a lower frame rate of around 67 FPS.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H is a 16-core, 16-thread mobile processor based on the Panther Lake architecture, built on a 3nm process. It has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, which is a substantial range that allows for high single-thread performance when needed. The CPU has a 18 MB shared L3 cache and 2.5 MB per core L2 cache, which is ample for gaming workloads. Its Cinebench R23 scores are 28221 for multicore and 3984 for single-core, indicating strong performance in both heavily threaded and lightly threaded tasks.

In Greedfall, the CPU’s role is to feed the RTX 4080 with draw calls and game logic. The data shows that the CPU is not a bottleneck at any resolution or setting. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 228 FPS, which is a very high frame rate that would stress most CPUs. The fact that the CPU can sustain this frame rate indicates that its single-thread performance is sufficient. The boost clock of 5.00 GHz is key here, as Greedfall is an Action RPG that likely relies on single-thread performance for its game logic and AI.

The CPU’s benchmark scores place it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, and its average benchmark score of 40518 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals. This means that the CPU is not a differentiating factor in this combo’s performance. The Intel Core 7 253PE, Core 5 223PE, AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, and Intel Xeon 6507P all score within 0.2% of the Ultra X7 368H, so swapping any of these CPUs would result in virtually identical frame rates in Greedfall. This confirms the maturity of the hardware and the fact that the game is not heavily CPU-bound.

The CPU’s TDP is 25W, which is low for a 16-core part, but the boost clock of 5.00 GHz suggests that it can deliver high single-thread performance when needed. In gaming scenarios, the CPU likely spends most of its time at lower power states, only boosting when the game requires it. The 16 threads are more than enough for Greedfall, which was released in 2019 and is unlikely to use more than 8 threads effectively. The CPU’s memory support for LPDDR5X with a bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s is also adequate for feeding the GPU, and the PCIe Gen 5 interface for the CPU (4 lanes) ensures that the GPU has a fast connection to the rest of the system. Overall, the CPU role is to provide a stable platform for the GPU, and the data confirms that it does so without introducing any performance limitations.
