Archeage

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti delivers a measured performance profile in Archeage that places the combo at rank 902 out of 1,727 tested combinations. The CPU sits in the 82nd percentile of all processors, while the GPU is in the 69th percentile, and the frame-rate data shows a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution and settings change. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across all presets and resolutions, interprets the ranking, and examines the roles of the CPU and GPU based on their specifications and benchmark scores.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS values show how the combination scales from 1920x1080 up to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 93.9 at 1920x1080 to 66.6 at 2560x1440, then to 36.3 at 3840x2160. The drop from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 is steeper than the drop from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, indicating that the GPU becomes increasingly stressed as pixel count rises. At Low settings, the same pattern appears: 159.1 at 1920x1080, 107.7 at 2560x1440, and 61.7 at 3840x2160. Even at Low, the 3840x2160 result barely clears 60 FPS, while the 1920x1080 result is more than double that. Medium settings follow a similar trajectory: 144.7, 94.1, and 52.5. Ultra settings show the most severe scaling: 64.3, 43.6, and 24.4.

The data suggests that at 1920x1080, the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well enough to reach high frame rates across all presets, with Ultra still above 60 FPS. As resolution increases, the GPU's workload grows, and the frame rate drops disproportionately. At 3840x2160, only Low settings manage to stay above 60 FPS, and Ultra falls to 24.4 FPS. This pattern points to the GPU as the primary limiting component at higher resolutions, while the CPU's strong single-thread performance keeps the lower-resolution results high.

Settings Recommendations

For a 60 FPS target, the highest playable preset at each resolution is clear from the measured rows. At 1920x1080, Ultra achieves 64.3 FPS, so all four presets are above 60. At 2560x1440, High reaches 66.6 FPS, while Ultra drops to 43.6, so High is the highest preset that maintains a 60 FPS average. At 3840x2160, only Low reaches 61.7 FPS; Medium is 52.5, High is 36.3, and Ultra is 24.4. Therefore, the data recommends Ultra at 1920x1080, High at 2560x1440, and Low at 3840x2160 for a smooth experience. If higher frame rates are preferred, Medium at 2560x1440 offers 94.1 FPS, and Low at 1920x1080 reaches 159.1 FPS, but those come with reduced visual fidelity. The measured results show that the combination is best suited to 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 gaming, where it can maintain playable frame rates at higher presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 902 out of 1,727 tested combinations in Archeage, placing it just above the middle of the field. The CPU's average benchmark score is 25,064, which places it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with a score of 25,057 and a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 at 25,099 (-0.1%), the AMD EPYC 9474F at 25,103 (-0.2%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F at 24,993 (+0.3%). The GPU's average benchmark score is 25,120, placing it in the 69th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6700M at 25,180 (-0.2%), the AMD Radeon RX 6600 at 25,235 (-0.5%), the AMD Radeon 890M at 25,246 (-0.5%), and the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP at 25,287 (-0.7%). The CPU's percentile is notably higher than the GPU's, indicating that the processor is relatively stronger than the graphics card when compared to their respective pools. This imbalance is consistent with the resolution scaling behavior: the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU's headroom allows for high frame rates at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

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

| 3840x2160 | Low | 61.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 52.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 24.4 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 66.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 107.7 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 94.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 43.6 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 93.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 159.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 144.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 64.3 |

The highest measured average is 159.1 FPS at 1920x1080 Low, and the lowest is 24.4 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra. At 1920x1080, the spread between Low and Ultra is 94.8 FPS, while at 3840x2160 the spread is 37.3 FPS. The data shows that the combination can deliver high frame rates at 1920x1080 across all presets, but at 3840x2160 only Low settings remain playable. The 2560x1440 results offer a middle ground, with High and Medium both above 60 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 1410 MHz, boost clock is 1665 MHz, and memory clock is 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The GPU has 4,864 shading units, 152 texture mapping units, 80 ROPs, 38 ray tracing cores, and 152 tensor cores. Its average benchmark score is 25,120, placing it in the 69th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of its score, indicating that the 3060 Ti is closely matched with several other cards.

In Archeage, the GPU's role is most evident at higher resolutions. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average FPS drops to 24.4, which is the lowest of all measured rows. The 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 at most presets, but the steep drop at 3840x2160 suggests that the GPU's memory capacity or bandwidth becomes a constraint at that resolution. The boost clock of 1665 MHz and the 16.20 TFLOPS FP32 performance are adequate for the game's demands at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the 159.1 FPS result at 1920x1080 Low. The GPU's percentile ranking of 69 indicates that it performs better than a majority of GPUs, but it is not a top-tier part, which aligns with the combo's mid-pack rank in this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. It has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. Its average benchmark score is 25,064, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. In Cinebench R23, it scores 20,851 in multi-core and 2,943 in single-core. The single-thread score is particularly relevant for an MMORPG like Archeage, which often relies on per-core performance.

The CPU's strong single-thread performance is reflected in the measured frame rates at 1920x1080, where even Ultra settings achieve 64.3 FPS. At 1920x1080 Low, the combination reaches 159.1 FPS, indicating that the CPU is not a bottleneck at that resolution. The 12 threads and 4.70 GHz boost clock provide ample headroom for the game's logic and background tasks. The CPU's nearest rivals include the Ryzen 7 2700X (0% delta) and the Ryzen 5 7500F (+0.3% delta), showing that the 8400F is competitive with older and newer parts. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking is higher than the GPU's 69th, which explains why the combination performs well at lower resolutions but struggles at 4K: the CPU can keep up, but the GPU cannot.
