# Archeage with AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a playable Archeage experience across most settings, though the data reveals a clear ceiling at 4K Ultra. The combo ranks 1713 out of 3708 tested configurations, placing it in the 54th percentile of all combos tested for this game. Benchmark results show a system that handles 1080p and 1440p comfortably at medium-to-high settings, but struggles to maintain smooth framerates at 4K with demanding presets. The measured FPS rows indicate a pattern where the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while CPU performance remains sufficient for the game's MMO workloads.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings, revealing where the graphics card becomes the bottleneck. At Low settings, the average framerate falls from 162 FPS at 1920x1080 to 62 FPS at 3840x2160 — a dramatic 61.7% reduction. Medium settings tell a similar story: 144 FPS at 1080p drops to 56 FPS at 4K, a 61.1% decline. High settings see the average go from 98 FPS at 1080p to 66 FPS at 1440p, then down to 38 FPS at 4K. The most severe scaling appears at Ultra, where the 1080p average of 67 FPS falls to 45 FPS at 1440p and then to 26 FPS at 4K — a total reduction of 61.2% from the baseline.

This scaling pattern strongly indicates that the Radeon RX 6750 XT is the limiting component at higher resolutions. The pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K, and the framerate reductions roughly track that demand increase. The 12 GB of GDDR6 memory with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth appears adequate for the game's needs, but the raw compute throughput of 13.31 TFLOPS FP32 is simply insufficient for maintaining high framerates at 4K Ultra. The data suggests that 1440p is the practical ceiling for this GPU in Archeage, with the gap between 1080p and 1440p being 32.7% at Low, 32.6% at Medium, and 32.7% at High — a consistent scaling pattern that points to a GPU-bound scenario rather than a CPU limitation.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT's specifications shape the game's performance profile in predictable ways. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2150 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, with a game clock rated at 2495 MHz. Memory runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed across a 192-bit bus, yielding 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is notable for a 2022 release and proves sufficient for Archeage's textures, as evidenced by the consistent performance scaling rather than sudden drops that would indicate memory capacity issues.

The GPU's architectural features include 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, with 40 ray tracing cores. The pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s provide the raw throughput needed for the game's rendering. At 4K Ultra, the 26 FPS average suggests the GPU is overwhelmed by the combined resolution and settings demands. The measured data at 4K Medium shows a 56 FPS average with minimums of 47 FPS and maximums of 64 FPS, indicating that even at medium settings, the GPU is working near its limits. The GPU's percentile ranking of 71 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26011, places it in the upper-midrange tier — capable but not flagship-level. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile, scores just 1.1% higher on average, highlighting that the RX 6750 XT competes well within its class.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific CPU-GPU combination ranks 1713 out of 3708 tested combos in Archeage, placing it in the 46.2nd percentile of all combinations. This mid-pack ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically outperforms the other — the system delivers consistent results without being exceptional. The CPU's individual percentile ranking of 78 among all CPUs (avg benchmark score 25517) is notably higher than the GPU's 71st percentile (avg score 26011), suggesting the processor has more headroom than the graphics card in this configuration.

The combo ranking relative to the component individual scores indicates that the GPU is the performance limiter. The CPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (0.1% higher score), AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (0.1% lower), and AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (0.3% higher) — all within a tight performance band. The GPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon R9 M395X (0.5% higher), AMD FirePro W7100 (0.6% higher), and AMD FirePro D700 (0.7% higher), showing that the RX 6750 XT sits in a competitive cluster. The gap between the combo's 54th percentile ranking and the GPU's 71st percentile suggests that Archeage's specific demands, combined with the pairing, pull the overall result down slightly from what the GPU alone might suggest.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data supports specific settings choices for different resolution targets. At 1920x1080, all settings produce playable results, but the Medium preset offers the best combination of visual quality and performance headroom: 144 FPS average with 123 FPS minimum and 166 FPS maximum. Low settings reach 162 FPS average, which is marginally higher but sacrifices visual fidelity for minimal gain. High settings at 98 FPS remain smooth, while Ultra at 67 FPS is acceptable but leaves little margin for demanding scenes.

For 2560x1440, Medium settings at 97 FPS average (83 min, 112 max) provide the best experience, offering smooth gameplay with reasonable visual quality. High settings at 66 FPS are still playable, while Low at 109 FPS gives maximum performance but at noticeable visual cost. Ultra drops to 45 FPS, which is borderline for an MMO where smoothness matters for combat responsiveness.

At 3840x2160, the data shows that only Low settings (62 FPS) and Medium settings (56 FPS) are viable. High at 38 FPS and Ultra at 26 FPS both fall below the generally accepted 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. For 4K users, the recommendation is Medium settings, which provide the best visual quality while maintaining a framerate that remains above 47 FPS at minimum. The jump from Low to Medium at 4K costs only 6 FPS on average but delivers notably better visuals.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured results show a clear progression across settings. Low settings achieve 162 FPS average, Medium reaches 144 FPS with a minimum of 123 and maximum of 166, High delivers 98 FPS, and Ultra drops to 67 FPS. The minimum framerate at Medium (123 FPS) still exceeds the average framerate at High (98 FPS), demonstrating that the Medium preset provides not only higher average performance but also better consistency. The gap between Low and Medium is 18 FPS (11.1% reduction), while the gap from Medium to High is 46 FPS (31.9% reduction), and from High to Ultra is 31 FPS (31.6% reduction). This non-linear scaling suggests that the High preset introduces rendering features that disproportionately impact performance.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts. Low settings produce 109 FPS average, Medium achieves 97 FPS (83 min, 112 max), High reaches 66 FPS, and Ultra falls to 45 FPS. The relative reduction from Low to Medium is 12 FPS (11.0%), from Medium to High is 31 FPS (32.0%), and from High to Ultra is 21 FPS (31.8%). The consistency of these percentage reductions across resolutions indicates that the settings overhead scales linearly with pixel count. The 1440p Medium minimum of 83 FPS remains above the 1080p High average of 98 FPS but below the 1080p Medium average of 144 FPS.

At 3840x2160, Low settings yield 62 FPS average, Medium achieves 56 FPS (47 min, 64 max), High drops to 38 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 26 FPS. The 4K Medium minimum of 47 FPS is only marginally above the 1440p Ultra average of 45 FPS, illustrating how resolution scaling compresses the usable settings range. The difference between 1080p Medium and 4K Medium is 88 FPS (61.1% reduction), while the difference between 1080p Ultra and 4K Ultra is 41 FPS (61.2% reduction). This consistent proportional scaling confirms that resolution, rather than settings, is the dominant factor in performance degradation.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The processor features 64 KB L1 cache per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, which is sufficient for the game's demands. The CPU's benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20655 and single-core score of 2916, with Geekbench multicore at 9959 and singlecore at 1907.

In the context of Archeage, the CPU's role is demonstrated by the consistent framerate scaling across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 162 FPS average suggests the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at high frame rates. The 3DMark results reinforce this: 16-thread score of 6628 and max-thread score of 6617 indicate the CPU maintains near-peak performance when all threads are utilized. The single-thread score of 901 in 3DMark and 3296 in Passmark single-thread suggest adequate per-core performance for the game's main thread. The CPU's percentile ranking of 78 among all CPUs places it above the GPU's 71st percentile, indicating the processor has more headroom than the graphics card. The fact that frame rates drop proportionally with resolution increases confirms that the CPU is not the bottleneck — if it were, the 1080p to 4K scaling would show diminishing performance drops as the GPU becomes less stressed. The measured data shows consistent ~61% reductions across all settings from 1080p to 4K, which is the signature of a GPU-limited scenario. With a 65W TDP and 7nm process node, the CPU operates efficiently while providing the thread count needed for MMO environments with many players and entities.
