How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER achieves a rank of 2147 out of 3708 tested combos in Archeage. This places the system in the 58th percentile, meaning roughly 42% of tested systems perform worse, and 58% perform better. For a game like Archeage, which is an MMORPG with potentially large player counts and complex scenes, this rank suggests the hardware is adequate but not exceptional for the title's demands.

The CPU's own percentile ranking is higher than the combo's overall game rank. The Ryzen 5 5600F sits in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36945. Its nearest rivals show a tightly clustered performance band: the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 scores 36938 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018 (-0.2% delta), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093 (-0.4% delta). This indicates the CPU is a strong performer relative to the broader market.

The GPU, however, sits lower in its own percentile ranking. The RTX 2070 SUPER is in the 65th percentile among all GPUs, with an average score of 20282. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480, -1% delta), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20534, -1.2% delta), Intel Arc B570 (20556, -1.3% delta), and Intel Arc A750 (20582, -1.5% delta). The GPU's lower standing relative to the CPU likely contributes to the combo's mid-pack game rank, as the graphics card becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture and features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). This configuration results in a pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s, with a FP32 performance of 9.062 TFLOPS.

In Archeage, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the GPU is less of a constraint, allowing frame rates to reach up to 142 FPS on Low settings. However, at 3840x2160, the 8 GB VRAM and the GPU's compute capabilities are stretched, as evidenced by the drop to 33 FPS on High and 23 FPS on Ultra. The 256-bit memory bus and 448 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the data shows a clear performance cliff at 4K.

The GPU's synthetic benchmarks reinforce this. The Passmark G3D score is 18169, and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1651. These numbers, combined with the measured FPS data, suggest that the RTX 2070 SUPER is a capable 1440p card for Archeage but cannot maintain playable frame rates at 4K with high-quality presets. The GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates it is a mid-range part, and this is reflected in the game's performance scaling.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo's performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system performs admirably: Low settings yield an average of 142 FPS, Medium produces 126 FPS (with a min of 107 and max of 145), High delivers 86 FPS, and Ultra drops to 59 FPS. These numbers show that the combo is well-suited for 1080p gaming, even at higher quality settings, with Ultra still maintaining a playable frame rate.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance decreases but remains respectable. Low settings produce 96 FPS, Medium yields 85 FPS (min 72, max 98), High drops to 58 FPS, and Ultra falls to 39 FPS. The step from High to Ultra at this resolution represents a significant 19 FPS loss, highlighting the demand of the Ultra preset. The 1440p Medium setting, with its min of 72 FPS, demonstrates that the system can hold a 60+ FPS experience with moderate settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings produce 55 FPS, Medium yields 49 FPS (min 41, max 56), High drops to 33 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 23 FPS. None of the 4K settings achieve a consistent 60 FPS experience, and even Low settings fall short. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is only 6 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 16 FPS, and High to Ultra is 10 FPS. This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU's resources are exhausted at this resolution, and even reducing settings cannot fully compensate.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer codename), manufactured on a 7 nm process by TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a 32 MB shared L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600F shows strong results. Its Passmark single-thread score is 2872, and its multithread score is 19236. The integer math score is 59339, floating point math is 34548, and extended instructions score is 16266. These scores, combined with the 85th percentile ranking, indicate that the CPU is a solid performer for gaming workloads, which often rely on single-thread performance.

In Archeage, the CPU's role is more significant at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the primary bottleneck. At 1920x1080, the CPU must feed frames to the GPU quickly, and the data shows this is handled well, with Low settings reaching 142 FPS. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration is sufficient for the game's demands, as MMORPGs typically scale well with multiple threads for world simulation and player interactions. However, at 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the CPU's performance is less relevant to the overall frame rate.

The CPU's nearest rivals all have average scores within 0.5% of the Ryzen 5 5600F, indicating tight competition. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 matches it at 36938 (0% delta), while the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is slightly higher at 37018 (-0.2% delta). This suggests that any of these CPUs would perform similarly in Archeage, given the same GPU.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user's resolution and performance target. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers an average of 86 FPS, which is smooth for most players. The Ultra preset at 59 FPS is also playable, but the 27 FPS drop from High to Ultra may not justify the visual improvement for all users. For those seeking maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 142 FPS offers a competitive advantage, but the Medium preset at 126 FPS (min 107) provides a better balance of visuals and performance.

At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 58 FPS, which is borderline for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 85 FPS (min 72, max 98) is the recommended choice, as it provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while still offering improved visuals over Low (96 FPS). The Ultra preset at 39 FPS is not recommended for 1440p, as it falls below the threshold for a consistently smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more challenging. The Low preset at 55 FPS is the only setting that approaches playability, but it still misses the 60 FPS target. The Medium preset at 49 FPS (min 41) may be acceptable for some players, but the High (33 FPS) and Ultra (23 FPS) presets are not viable for smooth gameplay. Given these results, the best experience at 4K is achieved with Low settings, accepting the visual compromise for a playable frame rate.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and reveals the limiting component. At 1920x1080 Low, the system achieves 142 FPS. At 2560x1440 Low, it drops to 96 FPS, a 32.4% decrease. At 3840x2160 Low, it falls to 55 FPS, a further 42.7% decrease from 1440p. This scaling pattern is typical of GPU-bound scenarios, where the rendering load increases proportionally with pixel count.

For the Medium preset, the scaling is similar: 126 FPS at 1080p, 85 FPS at 1440p (32.5% drop), and 49 FPS at 4K (42.4% drop from 1440p). The High preset shows 86 FPS at 1080p, 58 FPS at 1440p (32.6% drop), and 33 FPS at 4K (43.1% drop). The Ultra preset is the most demanding: 59 FPS at 1080p, 39 FPS at 1440p (33.9% drop), and 23 FPS at 4K (41.0% drop).

The consistent percentage drops across settings indicate that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the CPU's performance remains constant regardless of resolution. The RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB VRAM and 448 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for 4K gaming in Archeage, particularly at higher settings where the texture and shading demands increase. The data shows that the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring significant settings reductions to achieve playable frame rates. The transition from 1440p to 4K is particularly punishing, with roughly 40% performance loss across all settings, confirming that the 4K resolution exceeds the GPU's comfortable operating range.
