Archeage

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 ranks 328th out of 1,727 tested combos in Archeage, placing it in the upper tier of the database. Measured frame rates span from 227.2 FPS at 1080p Low to 34.6 FPS at 4K Ultra, revealing a performance envelope that shifts dramatically with resolution and settings. The data shows a configuration that excels at high-refresh 1080p and remains playable at 1440p, but struggles to maintain smooth frame rates at 4K with maximum quality.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 328 out of 1,727 puts it comfortably in the top quintile of all tested pairings for Archeage. This is a strong result for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU, and it reflects the game’s ability to scale with both components. The CPU alone sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU reaches the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, indicating that neither part is a weak link in the overall system. The rank suggests that this combination is well balanced for the game, with no single component dragging down the other.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600X provides 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its average benchmark score is 20,680, placing it just 0.3% behind the Ryzen 5 5600GT (20,740) and 0.5% behind the Core i5-12490F (20,794). In synthetic single-thread tests, the CPU scores 917 in 3DMark single-thread and 2,622 in Cinebench R23 single-core, while multi-thread scores reach 5,588 in 3DMark max-threads and 18,578 in Cinebench R23 multi-core. These numbers indicate a processor that is strong in both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded workloads.

In Archeage, the CPU’s influence is most visible at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 227.2 FPS, which is the highest measured result across all configurations. This suggests that the CPU can feed the GPU with enough frames to saturate even a high-refresh display at that setting. As resolution increases, the CPU’s role diminishes relative to the GPU, but the fact that the 1080p Low result is so high points to a CPU that is not a bottleneck in this game under typical conditions.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 brings 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 2325 MHz and boost clock is 2512 MHz. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 41,687, with a 0.2% lead over the Radeon Pro 5300 (41,610) and a 0.6% lead over the GeForce RTX 3090 (41,441). In gaming-specific tests, the GPU scores 29,137 in PassMark G3D and 15,787 in PassMark GPU Compute.

The GPU’s impact becomes apparent when comparing settings at the same resolution. At 1440p, raising from Low to High drops the average FPS from 150.6 to 92.7, while at 4K the same change reduces performance from 90.7 to 52.6. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game’s texture loads, and the high memory bandwidth supports the sharp frame-rate differences between presets. The data shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance at 1440p and above, where the CPU’s headroom is no longer the limiting factor.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS drop-off from 1080p to 4K is steep across all settings. At Low, the average goes from 227.2 at 1080p to 150.6 at 1440p and 90.7 at 4K — a reduction of 136.5 FPS from the lowest to highest resolution. At Medium, the sequence is 204, 138.6, and 78. At High, it is 135.3, 92.7, and 52.6. Ultra shows the largest relative decline: 95.7 at 1080p, 63.4 at 1440p, and 34.6 at 4K.

This pattern indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting component as resolution climbs. The CPU’s contribution is relatively constant, but the GPU must render more pixels, and the frame rate drops accordingly. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is smaller than the gap between 1440p and 4K, which is typical of GPU-bound workloads. For users targeting 4K, the data suggests that only Low settings (90.7 FPS) or Medium (78 FPS) provide a playable experience, while High and Ultra fall below 60 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 95.7 FPS, which is smooth and visually rich, making it the recommended choice for most players. At 2560x1440, High provides 92.7 FPS, while Ultra drops to 63.4 FPS — still playable but close to the 60 FPS threshold. For a balance of quality and performance, High is the sweet spot at 1440p. At 3840x2160, Medium yields 78 FPS and High only 52.6 FPS, so Medium is the highest preset that maintains a comfortable frame rate. Low at 4K offers 90.7 FPS but sacrifices visual fidelity; users who prefer smoothness over detail may opt for Low, but Medium is the recommended compromise.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values from the FACT PACK:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 1920x1080 | Low | 227.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 204.0 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 135.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 95.7 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 150.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 138.6 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 92.7 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 63.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 90.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 78.0 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 52.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 34.6 |

The data shows a clear hierarchy: lower resolutions and lower settings yield higher frame rates, with the largest gains coming from dropping from Ultra to High at each resolution. The 1080p Low result of 227.2 FPS is more than double the 4K Ultra result of 34.6 FPS, underscoring the GPU’s dominance in this game’s performance profile.
