FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Archeage?

A: The data shows 1920x1080 provides the highest frame rates, with an average of 174.8 FPS at Low settings and 89 FPS at Ultra settings. At 2560x1440, the average drops to 141.6 FPS on Low and 60.9 FPS on Ultra, while 3840x2160 yields 80.4 FPS on Low and 36 FPS on Ultra.

Q: How does Ultra settings performance compare to High settings?

A: At 1080p, Ultra averages 89 FPS versus 124.6 FPS on High, a difference of 35.6 FPS. At 1440p, the gap narrows to 24.9 FPS (60.9 vs 85.8), and at 4K it narrows further to 11.3 FPS (36 vs 47.3).

Q: Is the RTX 4070 the limiting factor at 4K Ultra?

A: Yes, the 36 FPS average at 3840x2160 Ultra suggests the GPU is heavily loaded. Dropping to Low settings at the same resolution nearly doubles performance to 80.4 FPS, indicating a strong GPU dependency at this resolution.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested configurations?

A: The combo ranks 521 out of 1727 tested combinations. This places it in the top 30% of all tested systems for Archeage, indicating a solidly above-average setup.

Q: What is the CPU's benchmark percentile compared to the GPU's?

A: The Ryzen 5 4600G sits at the 75th percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 4070 sits at the 81st percentile among all GPUs. The GPU is slightly more dominant in its field than the CPU.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU at 1080p Low settings?

A: The 174.8 FPS average at 1080p Low is the highest recorded figure, suggesting the CPU can feed frames quickly. The Ryzen 5 4600G's 12 threads and 4.20 GHz boost clock provide ample headroom for high-refresh gaming.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the primary driver of Archeage's visual output, equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1920 MHz and boosts to 2475 MHz, providing substantial compute throughput for this title. Its 5888 shading units and 64 ROPs handle the game's rendering pipeline, with the 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores offering additional capabilities, though Archeage's engine likely utilizes the standard rasterization path.

The GPU's memory configuration proves sufficient across all tested scenarios, as no resolution or settings combination shows evidence of VRAM capacity being exceeded. At 4K Ultra, the system averages 36 FPS, indicating the GPU is compute-bound rather than memory-limited. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth supports the texture streaming and draw calls typical of an MMORPG's open-world environments. The RTX 4070's 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance translates to strong raw throughput, which is reflected in the measured frame rates.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 81 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37283, positions it well for modern gaming workloads. Its nearest rivals by average score include the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507, -0.6% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38135, -2.2% delta), though these comparisons are based on synthetic benchmarks rather than Archeage-specific performance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 124.6 FPS at 1080p to 85.8 FPS at 1440p (a 31.1% reduction) and further to 47.3 FPS at 4K (an additional 44.9% reduction from 1440p). This scaling suggests the GPU becomes progressively more constrained as pixel count rises.

Low settings show a similar trend: 174.8 FPS at 1080p falls to 141.6 FPS at 1440p (19% reduction) and 80.4 FPS at 4K (43.2% reduction from 1440p). The relatively smaller drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings indicates the CPU can maintain high frame rates until the GPU workload increases substantially.

Ultra settings exhibit the steepest scaling curve. The 89 FPS average at 1080p drops to 60.9 FPS at 1440p (31.6% reduction) and then to 36 FPS at 4K (40.9% reduction from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result of 36 FPS is the lowest recorded figure, highlighting how the combination of high resolution and maximum settings overwhelms the GPU. The scaling pattern indicates the RTX 4070 is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU maintains sufficient headroom even at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G + RTX 4070 combination ranks 521 out of 1727 tested combos in Archeage, placing it in the 70th percentile of all configurations. This rank reflects a well-balanced pairing where neither component dramatically undermines the other's performance. The top 30% positioning suggests this setup outperforms the majority of systems tested for this MMORPG.

The rank of 521 out of 1727 means approximately 1206 combos are slower, while 520 are faster. This places the system in a solid mid-to-upper tier, adequate for high refresh rate gaming at 1080p and comfortable 1440p gameplay. The data indicates that the combo's performance is more competitive at lower resolutions, where the CPU's contribution is proportionally larger, while at 4K the GPU's limitations become more apparent.

Comparatively, the CPU's 75th percentile ranking among all processors aligns closely with the combo's overall rank, suggesting the processor does not significantly drag down the system's standing. The GPU's 81st percentile is slightly higher, indicating it is the stronger component in this pairing. The rank of 521 is consistent with a system that delivers strong 1080p performance and good 1440p capability, with 4K being the weakest scenario.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G provides six cores and twelve threads based on the Zen 2 architecture, operating at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. This configuration offers solid multi-threaded performance for MMORPG workloads, which often involve numerous background calculations, UI updates, and world-state management beyond the core rendering. The CPU's 8 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce memory latency during gameplay.

The processor's benchmark results show balanced capabilities: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593 and a single-core score of 1919, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6093 and single-core of 1575. These figures indicate the CPU can handle both lightly-threaded game logic and more demanding background tasks. The 65W TDP and 7 nm process node from TSMC contribute to efficient operation, though power consumption data is not directly tied to game performance.

In Archeage, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the FPS scaling. At 1080p Low, the 174.8 FPS average suggests the CPU can drive high frame rates, but the 12-thread configuration may become a limiting factor in crowded areas with many players, a common MMORPG scenario. The Ryzen 5 4600G's 75th percentile ranking among CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17489, places it slightly below the GPU's relative performance tier.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings average 174.8 FPS, Medium 169.6 FPS, High 124.6 FPS, and Ultra 89 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is minimal at 5.2 FPS, but High to Ultra represents a significant 35.6 FPS drop, indicating a steep performance cost for the highest quality presets.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong. Low settings average 141.6 FPS, Medium 123.7 FPS, High 85.8 FPS, and Ultra 60.9 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium shows a 17.9 FPS reduction, while High to Ultra costs 24.9 FPS. These results suggest 1440p High is a viable option for smooth gameplay, while 1440p Ultra remains playable at just above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings average 80.4 FPS, Medium 74.4 FPS, High 47.3 FPS, and Ultra 36 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is substantial at 27.1 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 11.3 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 36 FPS is the only sub-40 FPS figure recorded, making it marginal for smooth play. The data shows that 4K Low is the most practical 4K option, while 4K Medium offers a reasonable compromise at 74.4 FPS.
