Archeage

Archeage is a 2014 MMORPG, and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combo spans a wide performance range in measured results. The data runs from 155.6 FPS at 1080p Low to 24.1 FPS at 4K Ultra, with every other preset/resolution combination landing between those extremes.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS table shows a steep resolution curve for this combo. At High settings, average FPS goes from 92.5 at 1920x1080, to 64.5 at 2560x1440, to 37.9 at 3840x2160. At Low settings, the same progression is 155.6, 102.1, and 61.9. Medium runs from 137 at 1080p to 91.4 at 1440p and 50.1 at 4K. Ultra runs from 61.8 at 1080p to 42 at 1440p and 24.1 at 4K.

The pattern is consistent across every preset. Moving from 1080p to 4K costs a large portion of the frame rate regardless of whether the preset is Low, Medium, High, or Ultra. That is the shape of a GPU-limited configuration. If the CPU were the primary limiter, the resolution change would not produce such a consistent collapse in performance. The 4K Low result of 61.9 FPS is nearly identical to the 1080p Ultra result of 61.8 FPS, which shows how strongly settings and resolution interact in Archeage.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 uses the AD107 chip on the Ada Lovelace architecture. It carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, with 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1830 MHz and boost clock is 2460 MHz, while the memory clock is rated at 2125 MHz, or 17 Gbps effective.

Those specifications align with the measured results. At 1080p Medium and High, the GPU is able to sustain 137 and 92.5 FPS respectively. At 1440p Medium, it still delivers 91.4 FPS. But at 4K, the GPU starts to run out of headroom: 4K Medium averages 50.1 FPS, 4K High averages 37.9 FPS, and 4K Ultra falls to 24.1 FPS. The 8 GB frame buffer and 128-bit memory bus are the most plausible reasons for the low 4K Ultra result, since the memory configuration is modest for 4K-class rendering in this title.

The RTX 4060's average benchmark score is 23181. Its nearest GPU rivals show a tight grouping: AMD Radeon RX 6600M has an average score of 23321 with a deltaPct of -0.6, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti has 23338 with a deltaPct of -0.7. Intel Arc B580 scores 23021 with a deltaPct of 0.7, and AMD Radeon 760M scores 22999 with a deltaPct of 0.8. The RTX 4060 sits in the middle of this small pack, which matches its mid-table performance in Archeage.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 5 architecture with the Granite Ridge codename. It runs at a base clock of 3.90 GHz and boosts to 5.40 GHz. Its cache layout includes 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. It supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel memory bus and connects through PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU.

Synthetic benchmarks show strong single-thread performance. Cinebench R23 single-core scores 3603 and multi-core scores 25525. Geekbench single-core scores 3363 and multi-core scores 15182. The CPU's average benchmark score is 28246, which places it in the 85th percentile among all CPUs.

In Archeage, however, the CPU does not appear to be the main constraint on frame rate. The biggest measured CPU-friendly result is 155.6 FPS at 1080p Low, yet even that result drops to 102.1 FPS at 1440p Low and 61.9 FPS at 4K Low. If the CPU were the limiting component, those Low-preset numbers would be much closer together. The CPU's strong single-thread scores give it enough headroom for the game's engine, but the GPU becomes the binding factor as resolution climbs.

The 9600X's nearest CPU rivals are also close in average score. Intel Core i5-13490F scores 28173 with a deltaPct of 0.3, AMD Ryzen 5 230 scores 28164 with a deltaPct of 0.3, AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS scores 28369 with a deltaPct of -0.4, and Intel Core i5-14500T scores 28377 with a deltaPct of -0.5. The 9600X is effectively in the same performance band as those processors.

Q: Where does this combo rank among tested Archeage combos?

A: It ranks 969 out of 1,727 tested combos. The dataIsMeasured field is true, meaning the result is based on measured FPS data rather than an estimate.

Q: How does the GPU compare with its nearest rivals?

A: The RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 23181. It sits 0.6 behind AMD Radeon RX 6600M and 0.7 behind NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti, while sitting 0.7 ahead of Intel Arc B580 and 0.8 ahead of AMD Radeon 760M.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 969 out of 1,727 tested combinations in Archeage. That places it in the middle of the database's measured field, rather than near the top or bottom. With 1,727 total tested combos, a rank of 969 means a large number of other pairings deliver higher frame rates in this game, but a similarly large set delivers lower frame rates.

The CPU and GPU occupy different standing levels. The Ryzen 5 9600X sits in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with a strong average benchmark score of 28246. The RTX 4060 sits in the 66th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23181. That gap is consistent with the game-level data, which points to the GPU as the limiting component at higher resolutions and quality presets.

The measured FPS results support the mid-pack ranking. The combo produces playable frame rates at 1080p across Low, Medium, and High, with 155.6, 137, and 92.5 FPS respectively. At 1440p, it stays usable at Low and Medium, with 102.1 and 91.4 FPS, but High drops to 64.5 FPS and Ultra falls to 42 FPS. At 4K, only Low remains above 60 FPS, at 61.9 FPS. Archeage is not a title where this pairing dominates the leaderboard, but the measured data shows it as a solid mid-pack combination with clear GPU-side limits at 4K.
