CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600G brings 6 cores and 12 threads to Archeage, operating on the Zen 3 architecture with a 7 nm process. Its base clock of 3.90 GHz boosts to 4.40 GHz, providing a solid foundation for an MMORPG where many players gather in shared zones. The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth support the dual-channel DDR4 setup.

Benchmark data shows this CPU scores 16758 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2365 in single-core. In 3dmark tests, the single-thread score of 872 and 2-thread score of 1705 indicate modest per-core strength, while the 8-thread score of 4694 and max-threads score of 5455 reveal scaling efficiency. The passmark single-thread score of 3177 further characterizes its single-core capability.

For Archeage specifically, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 129.5 FPS, suggesting the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at lower graphical loads. However, the percentile ranking of 78 for all CPUs indicates this processor sits above average but not in the top tier. The nearest rival comparison shows the Intel Core i7-11600H (19949) and Intel Core i7-11800H (20024) bracket the 5600G's 19983 average score, with deltas of 0.2% and -0.2% respectively.

The CPU's passmark physics score of 900 and floating point math score of 37830 provide additional context for its computational throughput. Its data compression score of 249302 and integer math score of 67344 suggest capable general processing. In an MMORPG like Archeage, where network latency and server-side calculations can bottleneck beyond local hardware, these CPU metrics indicate the 5600G is unlikely to be the limiting factor at 1440p or 4K, based on the FPS deltas observed between resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER uses the TU106 chip on a 12 nm process, with 2176 shading units, 136 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Its boost clock of 1650 MHz and base clock of 1470 MHz drive a pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz or 14 Gbps effective.

This GPU's 63rd percentile ranking among all GPUs places it in the mid-range tier. Its average benchmark score of 19774 nearly matches the RTX 2070's 19680, with a delta of 0.5%. The GTX TITAN trails by 0.3% at 19706. The FP32 performance of 7.181 TFLOPS and FP16 of 14.36 TFLOPS (2:1) characterize its compute capability.

In Archeage, the GPU's influence becomes evident when comparing FPS across settings at each resolution. At 1080p, dropping from Ultra (53.8 FPS) to Low (129.5 FPS) more than doubles performance, a 75.7 FPS swing. At 1440p, the same settings change yields a 55 FPS swing from 34.2 to 89.2. At 4K, the swing narrows to 30.3 FPS, from 20.7 to 51. This pattern indicates the GPU's workload scales with both resolution and settings.

The 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2011 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 83503 provide synthetic benchmarks, while the passmark G3D score of 16462 and G2D score of 854 offer additional perspective. The DirectX 12 passmark score of 61 contrasts sharply with the DirectX 11 score of 130, suggesting this Turing card performs better under older APIs, which may be relevant for an older game like Archeage from 2014.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 129.5 FPS, Medium achieves 114.3 FPS, and High reaches 76.7 FPS. Ultra drops to 53.8 FPS. The step from Medium to High costs 37.6 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 22.9 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance decreases across all settings. Low yields 89.2 FPS, Medium produces 80 FPS, and High achieves 53 FPS. Ultra drops to 34.2 FPS. The Medium to High transition costs 27 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 18.8 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU strain becomes pronounced. Low settings manage 51 FPS, Medium reaches 43.8 FPS, and High falls to 28.8 FPS. Ultra bottoms out at 20.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is only 7.2 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 8.1 FPS.

The data reveals that Medium settings provide the most balanced experience at 1080p and 1440p, with 114.3 and 80 FPS respectively. Low settings at 1440p (89.2 FPS) outperform High settings at 1080p (76.7 FPS), indicating that resolution scaling favors lower graphical presets. At 4K, only Low settings approach playable territory at 51 FPS, while every other preset falls below 44 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p varies by settings. At Low, performance falls from 129.5 to 89.2, a 31.1% reduction. Medium drops from 114.3 to 80, a 30% decrease. High falls from 76.7 to 53, a 30.9% decline. Ultra drops from 53.8 to 34.2, a 36.4% reduction.

From 1440p to 4K, the scaling steepens. Low falls from 89.2 to 51, a 42.8% drop. Medium decreases from 80 to 43.8, a 45.3% reduction. High drops from 53 to 28.8, a 45.7% decline. Ultra falls from 34.2 to 20.7, a 39.5% reduction.

The consistent 30% drop from 1080p to 1440p across Low, Medium, and High suggests the GPU is the dominant constraint at these resolutions. The slightly larger drop at Ultra (36.4%) indicates additional pressure from the highest settings. The 4K transition shows even steeper declines, particularly at Medium and High, which lose over 45% of their FPS.

These scaling patterns point to the RTX 2060 SUPER as the limiting component. The CPU's performance does not change with resolution, so the FPS reductions must stem from GPU workload. The 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth may be insufficient for 4K Ultra settings, which explains the 20.7 FPS result. The CPU's 16 MB L3 cache and 6-core configuration appear adequate for the lower resolutions, where the GPU still scales predictably.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows indicate that Medium settings offer the best balance of visual quality and performance for most users. At 1080p, Medium produces 114.3 FPS, which is only 15.2 FPS below Low's 129.5 but 37.6 FPS above High's 76.7. The Medium preset at 1440p (80 FPS) also remains comfortably playable.

For users prioritizing smoothness over visuals, Low settings at 1080p deliver the highest FPS at 129.5. The same settings at 1440p yield 89.2 FPS, which remains competitive with High at 1080p. Low at 4K (51 FPS) is the only 4K preset above 44 FPS.

High settings present a trade-off at every resolution. At 1080p, 76.7 FPS is acceptable, but 1440p High (53 FPS) dips below the 60 FPS threshold. At 4K, High's 28.8 FPS is marginal. Ultra settings are only viable at 1080p (53.8 FPS), while 1440p Ultra (34.2 FPS) and 4K Ultra (20.7 FPS) fall below playable ranges.

The data suggests that Medium at 1080p or 1440p provides the most consistent experience. The RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB VRAM and 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance appear optimized for these mid-range settings. For 4K users, Low settings at 51 FPS represent the only practical option, though this sacrifices most visual enhancements.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 1229 out of 1727 tested combos in Archeage, placing it in the 71st percentile of configurations. This ranking reflects the measured FPS data, which shows strong performance at 1080p and 1440p but weaker results at 4K.

The CPU's 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU's 63rd percentile ranking among all GPUs suggest that this combo is somewhat CPU-heavy relative to its GPU. The CPU's average benchmark score of 19983 places it near the Intel Core i7-11600H (19949) and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX (19928), while the GPU's 19774 average score nearly matches the RTX 2070's 19680.

The ranking of 1229 out of 1727 means many combos outperform this pairing in Archeage. The data indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER, despite its 63rd percentile standing, struggles at higher resolutions. The combo's best results occur at 1080p, where the GPU can maintain high FPS without exceeding its memory bandwidth or compute limits.

The measured FPS at 1080p Low (129.5) and Medium (114.3) demonstrate that this combo can handle fast-paced gameplay at mainstream resolutions. However, the 4K Ultra result of 20.7 FPS shows clear limitations. The 1229th rank suggests that while this configuration is functional for 1080p gaming, it is not positioned among the top performers in the database. The delta between the CPU's 78
