Archeage

Archeage is an MMORPG released in 2014, and this analysis covers the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600. The measured FPS data spans three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). The CPU has a launch MSRP of $179, and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 269 USD. In the game's benchmark ranking, this combination places 1153rd out of 1727 tested combos. The CPU sits in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep across every preset, but the pattern reveals how the workload shifts. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 130.6 at 1920x1080 to 49.1 at 3840x2160. That is a reduction to well under half of the 1080p figure, yet the 4K result remains above the 30 FPS line. At Medium, the drop is from 116.7 to 47.4, a slightly smaller absolute decline than Low. High settings go from 80.2 at 1080p to 31.6 at 4K, which is just above the 30 FPS threshold. Ultra is the most demanding: 51.3 at 1080p falls to 23.2 at 4K, the only preset where the 4K result drops below 30 FPS.

The scaling pattern suggests that the GPU becomes the limiting component at higher resolutions, but the CPU still matters at 1080p. At 1080p Low, the system produces 130.6 FPS, which is a high frame rate that indicates the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU. At 4K, the FPS drops to 49.1 on Low, a reduction that is not proportional to the pixel count increase. The 4K results across all settings are tightly grouped between 23.2 and 49.1, while the 1080p results span from 51.3 to 130.6. This compression at 4K indicates that the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution rises, while the CPU's influence is more visible at 1080p.

Settings Recommendations

For a 60 FPS target, the data points to different presets depending on resolution. At 1920x1080, High settings produce 80.2 FPS, which comfortably exceeds 60, while Ultra drops to 51.3, below the target. Therefore, High is the highest preset that maintains a 60 FPS experience at 1080p. At 2560x1440, Medium yields 76.5 FPS, and High falls to 55.3. Medium is the recommended preset at 1440p for a 60 FPS target. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS; Low gives 49.1 FPS, Medium 47.4, High 31.6, and Ultra 23.2. Low is the highest FPS option at 4K, but it still falls short of 60 FPS.

The data also shows that the step from Medium to High is costly at every resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Medium and High is 36.5 FPS (116.7 to 80.2), while the step from High to Ultra is 28.9 FPS (80.2 to 51.3). At 1440p, Medium to High costs 21.2 FPS (76.7 to 55.5), and High to Ultra costs 18.9 FPS (55.5 to 36.4). At 4K, Medium to High costs 15.8 FPS (47.4 to 31.6), and High to Ultra costs 8.4 FPS (31.6 to 23.2). The diminishing returns of Ultra are most evident at 4K, where the FPS difference between High and Ultra is only 8.4 FPS.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip. Its memory configuration includes 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. The boost clock is 2655 MHz, the game clock is 2250 MHz, and the base clock is 1720 MHz. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 16634 in Passmark G3D and 82501 in Geekbench OpenCL. Its average benchmark score is 20258, placing it in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the RX 7600 is 0.6% higher than the RX 7600 XT and 0.8% higher than the RX 460. It trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile by 1.3% and the Intel Arc B570 by 1.5%. In this game, the GPU's performance is directly visible in the 4K results. At 4K Ultra, the system produces 23.2 FPS, the lowest measured value in the entire dataset. At 4K Low, it reaches 49.1 FPS, which is the highest 4K result. The 8 GB VRAM and 288 GB/s bandwidth are likely factors in the 4K scaling, but the data does not isolate memory pressure from compute limits.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael). It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The L3 cache is 32 MB shared, and the CPU supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 22799 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 3218 in single-core. It also achieves 12686 in Geekbench multicore and 2759 in single-core.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 24993, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rival is the Intel Core i7-11850H, which is 0.1% higher in average score. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX is 0.4% higher, while the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and AMD Ryzen 5 8400F are each 0.3% lower. For an MMORPG like Archeage, which often relies on single-thread performance, the 3218 single-core score in Cinebench R23 is a relevant indicator. The CPU's strong single-thread performance likely explains why the 1080p Low preset reaches 130.6 FPS, as the CPU can feed the GPU at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values from the dataset.

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 76.5 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 55.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 36.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 49.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 47.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 23.2 |

The data shows a consistent ordering: Low produces the highest FPS at every resolution, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. The gap between Low and Medium narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference is 13.9 FPS (130.6 to 116.7). At 1440p, it is 11.6 FPS (88.1 to 76.5). At 4K, it is only 1.7 FPS (49.1 to 47.4). This convergence at 4K indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant constraint, making the preset choice less impactful at higher resolutions. Conversely, at 1080p, the preset choice has a large effect, with a 79.3 FPS difference between Low and Ultra.
