GPU Role

The RTX 2060 is specified as a 6 GB GDDR6 GPU with a 192-bit bus and 336.0 GB/s memory bandwidth. Its memory clock is listed at 1750 MHz, with 14 Gbps effective data rate. The core runs at 1365 MHz base and 1680 MHz boost. Compute resources include 1920 shading units, 120 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 30 RT cores, and 240 tensor cores. Pixel rate is 80.64 GPixel/s, texture rate is 201.6 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput is 6.451 TFLOPS. The GPU's Passmark G3D score is 14111, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1242. Geekbench scores are 71278 in OpenCL and 67425 in Vulkan. The average benchmark score is 16074, with a 58th percentile placement across all GPUs.

In relative terms, the RTX 2060 sits in a tight band against its nearest rivals. The AMD Radeon RX 7600S has an average score of 15996 with a 0.5% delta, while the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 has 15786 with a 1.8% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro 5600M and AMD Radeon Pro 5700 both have 16351 and a -1.7% delta. These small deltas indicate that the RTX 2060 is not far from several similarly ranked GPUs in the aggregate benchmark pool.

The measured Archeage FPS shows how these specifications translate at increasing load. At 1920x1080 Low, the average is 115.8 FPS. At 2560x1440 Low, it falls to 80.3 FPS. At 3840x2160 Low, it falls further to 46.1 FPS. On the Ultra preset, the pattern is steeper: 1920x1080 Ultra averages 47.3 FPS, 2560x1440 Ultra averages 30.1 FPS, and 3840x2160 Ultra averages 18.3 FPS. The 6 GB memory arrangement and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth appear sufficient for the lower presets at 1080p and 1440p, but the highest resolution and preset combination leaves the GPU at 18.3 FPS. The Passmark DirectX scores in the GPU data are 190 for DirectX 9, 98 for DirectX 10, 110 for DirectX 11, and 53 for DirectX 12, which outline a GPU that is more comfortable at lower API loads than very heavy settings. The listed boost clock is 1680 MHz, but the actual sustained clock during the measured runs is not reported in the data.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 8400F provides 6 cores and 12 threads. It has a base clock of 4.20 GHz, a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, and a 65 W TDP. The architecture is Zen 4 with the Phoenix codename on a 4 nm TSMC process, with 25,000 million transistors and a 178 mm² die size. Cache is organized as 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. Memory support is DDR5 in dual-channel mode with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. The processor uses AMD Socket AM5, exposes 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes from the CPU, has an unlocked multiplier, and carries an Active production status with a release date of 2024-03-31.

The processor's benchmark profile is strong. Cinebench R23 scores are 20851 multi-core and 2943 single-core. Cinebench R20 scores are 8757 and 1236. Passmark multi-thread is 24530 and single-thread is 3684. The 3DMark thread scaling runs go from 1874 with 2 threads, to 3563 with 4 threads, 5275 with 8 threads, 6091 with 16 threads, and 6165 at max threads. The average benchmark score is 25064, placing the CPU in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X at 25057 and 0%, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 at 25099 and -0.1%, the AMD EPYC 9474F at 25103 and -0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F at 24993 and +0.3%.

In Archeage, the CPU's role is most visible in the lower-resolution rows where the GPU is not carrying as much rendering load. At 1920x1080 Low, the average is 115.8 FPS; at 2560x1440 Low it is 80.3; at 3840x2160 Low it is 46.1. Because Archeage is an MMORPG, scene complexity can move between CPU and GPU load; the CPU's single-thread and multi-thread scores provide a strong ceiling for that workload. The 82nd CPU percentile versus the GPU's 58th percentile suggests the processor side of this pairing has more relative strength than the graphics side. Still, the data does not include separate CPU or GPU utilization numbers, so the exact load split in Archeage is not measured.

How This Combo Ranks

The rank for this CPU/GPU combination in Archeage is 1413 out of 1727 tested combinations. That places the combo in the lower portion of the tested field, with the majority of tested combinations ranked ahead of it. The composition of the pair helps explain the position: the CPU is an 82nd-percentile part in the aggregate CPU benchmark pool, while the GPU is a 58th-percentile part in the aggregate GPU pool.

The CPU's nearest rivals cluster closely: the Ryzen 7 2700X is at 25057 with a 0% delta, the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 is at 25099 with -0.1%, the EPYC 9474F is at 25103 with -0.2%, and the Ryzen 5 7500F is at 24993 with +0.3%. The GPU's nearest rivals are similarly close: the RX 7600S is at 15996 with 0.5%, the Radeon Pro W5500 is at 15786 with 1.8%, and the Radeon Pro 5600M and Radeon Pro 5700 are both at 16351 with -1.7%. In both aggregate pools, small deltas mean a crowded field of similarly performing parts.

Within Archeage, the measured FPS confirms why the rank is not higher. The 3840x2160 Ultra result of 18.3 FPS and the 2560x1440 Ultra result of 30.1 FPS are far below the 1920x1080 Medium result of 104 FPS. The 4K High result is 29.4 FPS. At lower settings the combo performs better, but the rank reflects the full set of measured presets and resolutions. The CPU's high aggregate benchmark score relative to the GPU's aggregate score suggests that the RTX 2060 is the limiting component, especially as resolution climbs.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The data contains average FPS values for each combination of three resolutions and four settings. Min and max FPS are null, so no frame-time consistency information is available.

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

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

| 1920x1080 | 115.8 | 104 | 71.9 | 47.3 |

| 2560x1440 | 80.3 | 71.6 | 46.9 | 30.1 |

| 3840x2160 | 46.1 | 40.1 | 29.4 | 18.3 |

At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 115.8 FPS, Medium averages 104 FPS, High averages 71.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 47.3 FPS. The ordering is Low > Medium > High > Ultra. At 2560x1440, the same ordering holds: Low averages 80.3, Medium 71.6, High 46.9, and Ultra 30.1. At 3840x2160, Low averages 46.1, Medium 40.1, High 29.4, and Ultra 18.3.

The resolution penalty is visible in every preset. For Low, moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces the average from 115.8 to 80.3, and moving to 3840x2160 reduces it to 46.1. For Ultra, the equivalent values are 47.3, 30.1, and 18.3. The High preset follows a similar path: 71.9 at 1920x1080, 46.9 at 2560x1440, and 29.4 at 3840x2160. Medium runs at 104, 71.6, and 40.1 across the three resolutions. These numbers indicate that the RTX 2060's strongest results are at 1080p, while the 4K preset range is heavily constrained.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the best average FPS comes from the Low preset at every resolution. However, for a balance between settings level and frame rate, the Medium preset is the strongest measured choice at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440.

At 1920x1080, Medium produces 104 FPS, which is the highest average among presets above 100 FPS. Low produces 115.8 FPS while using the lowest preset level; High produces 71.9 FPS; Ultra produces 47.3 FPS. For users who want the highest frame rate, Low is the measured recommendation. For users who want the next step up in settings while staying above 100 FPS, Medium at 104 FPS is the best fit.

At 2560x1440, Medium averages 71.6 FPS. Low averages 80.3, High averages 46.9, and Ultra averages 30.1. Medium therefore offers the strongest combination of a middle preset level and a useful measured frame rate. Notably, 1440p High at 46.9 is close to 1080p Ultra at 47.3, so a user could choose 1080p Ultra or 1440p High and get similar average FPS.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 50 FPS. Low is the highest at 46.1, followed by Medium at 40.1, High at 29.4, and Ultra at 18.3. Low is the only preset with an average above 45 FPS, making it the clear measured recommendation at 4K. Medium may be usable for less demanding scenes, but the lack of min/max FPS data means frame drops cannot be evaluated. Overall, Medium at 1080p or 1440p, and Low at 4K, are the settings that make the best use of these measured results.
