Archeage

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers a broad range of frame rates in Archeage, spanning from 40 FPS at 4K Ultra to 245 FPS at 1080p Low, with the data indicating a system that scales predictably across resolutions and settings presets. This combination ranks 249th out of 2761 tested combos in this game, placing it in the top percentile of configurations measured, and the benchmark results reveal distinct performance tiers that depend heavily on both resolution and graphical preset selection.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Archeage shows a clear and consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At 1080p High settings, the combo produces 153 FPS average, which drops to 103 FPS at 1440p High, and further to 59 FPS at 4K High. This represents a 61% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at High settings, indicating that the RTX 5070 Ti becomes increasingly pixel-bound at higher resolutions, while the Ryzen 5 7400F maintains sufficient headroom to feed the GPU at lower resolutions.

The scaling pattern becomes more pronounced when examining the Low preset. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 245 FPS average, which falls to 171 FPS at 1440p Low, and then to 98 FPS at 4K Low. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 30%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 43%, suggesting that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and processing capabilities are being stressed more heavily as pixel count grows. The RTX 5070 Ti’s 896.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 16 GB of GDDR7 memory appear sufficient for 4K, but the raw compute demand of Archeage at that resolution limits performance.

At Medium settings, the data includes minimum and maximum FPS values, providing additional insight into frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the average is 226 FPS with a minimum of 192 FPS and maximum of 260 FPS, a spread of 68 FPS that shows some variability but remains well above playable thresholds. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 152 FPS with a minimum of 129 FPS and maximum of 175 FPS, while 4K Medium yields 87 FPS average with a minimum of 74 FPS and maximum of 100 FPS. The minimum FPS values at each resolution stay within 15-18% of the average, indicating reasonably stable frame delivery even when the GPU is under load.

Ultra settings present the most demanding scenario, with 4K Ultra producing just 40 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS threshold commonly associated with smooth gameplay. The scaling from 1080p Ultra at 105 FPS to 1440p Ultra at 70 FPS shows a 33% reduction, and then to 4K Ultra at 40 FPS shows another 43% reduction. This progression suggests that Ultra settings introduce effects and draw distances that disproportionately impact higher resolutions, making 4K Ultra impractical for this title with this hardware combination.

The limiting component shifts depending on resolution. At 1080p, the high frame rates across all settings suggest the CPU and GPU are both capable, with the Ryzen 5 7400F’s 6 cores and 12 threads at up to 4.70 GHz boost clock providing enough single-thread performance for Archeage’s MMO engine. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, as evidenced by the steep FPS drops and the fact that even Low settings only reach 98 FPS, indicating the RTX 5070 Ti’s fill rate and shading throughput are the constraining factors.

For 1080p gaming, Medium settings at 226 FPS average provides an excellent balance between visual quality and performance, with the minimum FPS of 192 ensuring no noticeable stuttering. High settings at 153 FPS still offer a very smooth experience, while Ultra at 105 FPS remains playable but introduces additional graphical load without proportional visual benefits for most users.

At 1440p, Medium settings at 152 FPS average with a minimum of 129 FPS delivers the best experience, as it maintains high frame rates while offering better visual fidelity than Low. High settings at 103 FPS remains a solid choice for users prioritizing image quality over maximum frame rates, while Ultra at 70 FPS is acceptable for those who want the highest settings and can tolerate slightly lower performance. Low settings at 171 FPS are excessive for most displays, as many 1440p monitors cap at 144 Hz or 165 Hz.

For 4K resolution, Medium settings at 87 FPS average with a minimum of 74 FPS is the recommended preset, as it provides smooth gameplay with only minor frame drops. High settings at 59 FPS is borderline, with the average just below 60 FPS, which may result in occasional perceptible stuttering. Ultra settings at 40 FPS should be avoided entirely, as this frame rate is insufficient for smooth gameplay in an MMORPG where responsiveness matters. Low settings at 98 FPS offer the highest 4K performance but sacrifice visual quality that may be significant at this resolution.

The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot for this hardware combination across all resolutions, providing the best ratio of visual quality to frame rate. At 1080p, the 226 FPS average with 192 FPS minimum ensures compatibility with high refresh rate monitors, while at 1440p the 152 FPS average with 129 FPS minimum still exceeds most display refresh rates. At 4K, the 87 FPS average with 74 FPS minimum provides a smooth experience that justifies the resolution upgrade over lower settings.

The CPU’s multi-threaded performance, demonstrated by a PassMark multithread score of 25645 and data compression score of 289999, ensures that background tasks and game server communication do not create performance bottlenecks.

The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the system reaches 245 FPS average, which indicates that the CPU can sustain very high frame rates when the GPU is not the limiting factor. This is corroborated by the relatively small performance drop from 1080p Low (245 FPS) to 1440p Low (171 FPS), which is a 30% reduction, versus the larger drop from 1440p Low to 4K Low (98 FPS), which is 43%. The CPU’s role becomes less significant at 4K, where the RTX 5070 Ti’s pixel processing capabilities determine the frame rate, but at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU’s clock speed and IPC are sufficient to keep up with the GPU’s output.

The CPU’s memory support for DDR5 with dual-channel configuration and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth, along with ECC memory support, provides adequate data throughput for Archeage’s world streaming and player character rendering. The 7400F’s 32 MB of L3 cache is particularly beneficial for MMO scenarios where multiple players and NPCs are visible simultaneously, as it reduces the need to access slower system memory.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Archeage with the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). At 1920x1080, the system achieves 245 FPS average on Low settings, 226 FPS average on Medium (with minimum 192 FPS and maximum 260 FPS), 153 FPS average on High, and 105 FPS average on Ultra. These results show that even at Ultra settings, the 1080p performance remains high enough for competitive or fast-paced gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates drop to 171 FPS average on Low, 152 FPS average on Medium (with minimum 129 FPS and maximum 175 FPS), 103 FPS average on High, and 70 FPS average on Ultra. The 1440p results maintain playable frame rates across all presets, with Ultra settings still exceeding 60 FPS, making this resolution viable for users who want high visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness. The Medium preset at 1440p, with a minimum of 129 FPS, provides a particularly stable experience that would satisfy users with 144 Hz monitors.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more constrained, with 98 FPS average on Low, 87 FPS average on Medium (with minimum 74 FPS and maximum 100 FPS), 59 FPS average on High, and 40 FPS average on Ultra. The 4K results reveal a clear threshold where Ultra settings become impractical, as 40 FPS is below the threshold for smooth gameplay in an action-oriented MMO. High settings at 59 FPS are borderline, while Medium at 87 FPS provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, and Low at 98 FPS offers the best 4K performance.

The Medium preset data includes minimum and maximum FPS values, which offer insight into frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the range from 192 to 260 FPS shows a spread of 68 FPS, representing a 30% variation from the average. At 1440p Medium, the range from 129 to 175 FPS shows a spread of 46 FPS, representing a 30% variation as well. At 4K Medium, the range from 74 to 100 FPS shows a spread of 26 FPS, representing a 30% variation. This consistency in relative variation suggests that the frame pacing is stable across resolutions, with no single resolution exhibiting disproportionately high frame time spikes.

The progression from Low to Ultra settings shows a consistent pattern at each resolution. At 1080p, the FPS drops from 245 (Low) to 226 (Medium) to 153 (High) to 105 (Ultra), representing reductions of 8%, 32%, and 31% from the previous tier. At 1440p, the drops are from 171 (Low) to 152 (Medium) to 103 (High) to 70 (Ultra), representing reductions of 11%, 32%, and 32%. At 4K, the drops are from 98 (Low) to 87 (Medium) to 59 (High) to 40 (Ultra), representing reductions of 11%, 32%, and 32%. This consistent pattern indicates that the performance impact of each settings tier is uniform across resolutions, with High to Ultra being the most demanding transition and Low to Medium being the least impactful.

The data shows that the RTX 5070 Ti’s 16 GB of GDDR7 memory is sufficient for all tested settings, as no resolution or preset combination exceeded memory capacity, which would have resulted in severe performance degradation. The GPU’s 896.0 GB/s memory bandwidth also proves adequate, as the frame rate scaling from 1440p to 4K follows a predictable pattern consistent with pixel count increases rather than memory bandwidth limitations. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s 12 threads and high boost clock ensure that the CPU does not bottleneck the GPU even at 1080p Low where frame rates approach 245 FPS, making this combination well-balanced for Archeage across a wide range of graphical configurations.
