Archeage

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 produces a measured performance profile in Archeage that sits in the lower half of the benchmark database. With a combo rank of 1368 out of 1727, this system delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p on lower presets, but struggles at 4K and at Ultra settings. The data below breaks down exactly what to expect from this pairing in the 2014 MMORPG.

GPU Role

The RTX 2060 is a Turing-architecture card with a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1680 MHz. Its 6 GB GDDR6 frame buffer runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) and delivers 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications directly shape the measured FPS in Archeage. At 4K Ultra, the card manages only 20.6 FPS, while at 1080p Low it reaches 120.2 FPS. The 6 GB VRAM is likely sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result suggests the memory capacity and bandwidth are stressed at that resolution. The GPU's 1920 shading units and 48 ROPs are the physical limits that the benchmark data reflects. The card's Passmark G3D score of 14111 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1242 place it in the 58th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16074. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 7600S (delta 0.5%), Radeon Pro 5600M (delta -1.7%), and Radeon Pro W5500 (delta 1.8%), all within a narrow performance band.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows show a clear hierarchy: Low settings always produce the highest FPS, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra last. At 1080p, Low gives 120.2 FPS, Medium 103, High 73.3, and Ultra 50.6. For a smooth 60+ FPS experience at 1080p, High is the highest preset that stays above 60. At 1440p, only Low (80.6) and Medium (69.6) exceed 60; High drops to 47 and Ultra to 34.8. At 4K, no preset reaches 60; Low is the only option above 40 (45.8), while Medium (42.9), High (27.8), and Ultra (20.6) are all below playable thresholds. The practical recommendation is to use Low or Medium for 1440p and 4K, and High at 1080p if visual quality is a priority. Ultra is not viable at any resolution with this combo.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 120.2 on Low to 50.6 on Ultra. Medium yields 103, and High 73.3. At 2560x1440, Low produces 80.6, Medium 69.6, High 47, and Ultra 34.8. At 3840x2160, Low gives 45.8, Medium 42.9, High 27.8, and Ultra 20.6. The data shows a consistent pattern: each step up in settings costs a significant fraction of performance. For example, moving from Low to Medium at 1080p reduces FPS from 120.2 to 103, a 14.3% drop. From Medium to High, it falls to 73.3, a 28.8% drop. The gap between High and Ultra is even larger, with Ultra at 50.6, a 31% reduction from High. The same trend holds at 1440p and 4K, though the absolute numbers are lower.

Resolution Scaling

Scaling from 1080p to 1440p to 4K reveals how the GPU becomes the limiting factor. For High settings, FPS drops from 73.3 at 1080p to 47 at 1440p (a 35.9% reduction) and then to 27.8 at 4K (a 40.9% reduction from 1440p). Low settings scale similarly: 120.2 to 80.6 (33% drop) and then to 45.8 (43.2% drop). Medium goes from 103 to 69.6 (32.4% drop) and then to 42.9 (38.4% drop). Ultra drops from 50.6 to 34.8 (31.2% drop) and then to 20.6 (40.8% drop). The percentage drops are relatively consistent across presets, indicating that the GPU's rendering load scales almost linearly with pixel count. The CPU's contribution does not change with resolution, so the increasing FPS loss at higher resolutions points directly to the RTX 2060's pixel throughput limits. The 4K results, in particular, show that this GPU is not designed for that resolution in Archeage, even on Low.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 7600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost of 5.30 GHz. It has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. Its benchmark scores are strong: a 3DMark single-thread score of 1060, a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3406, and a multi-core score of 24128. The CPU's percentile rank is 83, with an average benchmark score of 26272, placing it near the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U (delta 0%) and Ryzen 7 7735U (delta -0.1%). In Archeage, the measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 120.2, which is high enough to suggest the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at lower settings. The game, released in 2014, likely relies on a few heavily threaded tasks, and the 7600X's single-thread performance is well above average. However, at higher settings and resolutions, the FPS drops are driven by the GPU, as evidenced by the resolution scaling pattern. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are more than sufficient for this title, and its high boost clock helps maintain frame rates in crowded MMO scenarios, though the data does not isolate CPU-specific effects. The combo's low rank (1368/1727) is primarily a reflection of the GPU's modest capabilities relative to the demands of Archeage at high presets.
