CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture built on a 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a TDP of 65 watts. This processor is part of the 5000 series and uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform.

In Archeage, an MMORPG, the CPU's multi-threaded capability is relevant for handling game logic, network synchronization, and the many entities present in large player gatherings. The processor's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and single-core score of 2916 indicate solid all-around performance. The Passmark multithread score of 24303 and single-thread score of 3296 further confirm this processor's balanced capabilities.

The benchmark results show that at lower graphical settings, the CPU becomes a more visible factor. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 220.4 FPS, while at 1080p Ultra it drops to 102.7 FPS. This gap suggests that while the CPU can push high frame rates, the graphical load at Ultra settings shifts the bottleneck toward the GPU. The 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this game's demands.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 84 versus all CPUs indicates it outperforms most processors in the database. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, is only 0.7% behind in average score, meaning the two are effectively comparable in CPU-bound scenarios. The Ryzen 7 5700's modest TDP of 65 W allows sustained performance without thermal throttling, which is beneficial for long MMORPG sessions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 5 nm process with 35,800 million transistors. It features 7680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz, with a TDP of 285 W.

The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Archeage's textures and draw distances. The GPU's FP32 performance of 40.09 TFLOPS and a Passmark G3D score of 31624 indicate strong rasterization capability. The pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s are well-suited for rendering the game's environments.

In the measured FPS data, the GPU's influence is most apparent at 4K resolution. At 3840x2160, the combo delivers 94.4 FPS on Low settings but only 36.6 FPS on Ultra settings. This wide range demonstrates that the RTX 4070 Ti has substantial headroom for lower settings but is challenged by the game's Ultra preset at 4K, likely due to the heavy pixel shader load.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 85 versus all GPUs places it in the upper tier of video cards. Its nearest rival, the RTX 5090 Mobile, is only 0.6% ahead in average score, indicating the desktop RTX 4070 Ti performs comparably to that mobile flagship. The 285 W TDP requires a robust power supply, with the suggested PSU being 600 W.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces 220.4 FPS on Low, 212.7 FPS on Medium, 148.7 FPS on High, and 102.7 FPS on Ultra settings. These numbers show that the Low to Medium transition costs only 7.7 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High results in a 64 FPS drop. The High to Ultra transition further reduces performance by 46 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, results are 169.1 FPS on Low, 146.1 FPS on Medium, 101.2 FPS on High, and 69.5 FPS on Ultra. The Low to Medium drop is 23 FPS, and Medium to High drops another 44.9 FPS. The High to Ultra settings cause a 31.7 FPS reduction, bringing the frame rate below the 70 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the measurements are 94.4 FPS on Low, 86.5 FPS on Medium, 57.3 FPS on High, and 36.6 FPS on Ultra. The Low to Medium transition costs 7.9 FPS, Medium to High costs 29.2 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 20.7 FPS. This resolution shows the steepest relative decline, with Ultra producing less than 40% of the Low setting's frame rate.

Across all resolutions, the Low preset consistently yields the highest frame rates, while Ultra produces the lowest. The gap between Low and Ultra widens from 117.7 FPS at 1080p to 99.6 FPS at 1440p, then narrows to 57.8 FPS at 4K, indicating that at 4K the GPU becomes the limiting factor regardless of settings.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear pattern of diminishing frame rates as resolution increases. At High settings, the combo averages 148.7 FPS at 1080p, 101.2 FPS at 1440p, and 57.3 FPS at 4K. This represents a 32% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 43% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, with the 4K penalty being more severe relative to the pixel count increase.

For Low settings, the progression is 220.4 FPS at 1080p, 169.1 FPS at 1440p, and 94.4 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 23% and 44% respectively. Medium settings follow a similar pattern: 212.7 FPS at 1080p, 146.1 FPS at 1440p, and 86.5 FPS at 4K, with drops of 31% and 41%.

Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling: 102.7 FPS at 1080p, 69.5 FPS at 1440p, and 36.6 FPS at 4K. This is a 32% drop from 1080p to 1440p, followed by a 47% drop from 1440p to 4K. The larger relative decline at Ultra settings indicates that the GPU is increasingly stressed by the combination of high pixel count and intensive graphical effects.

These patterns suggest that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU and GPU are relatively balanced, with frame rates remaining playable even at Ultra. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, particularly at Ultra where the frame rate falls below 40 FPS. For users targeting 4K, the High preset at 57.3 FPS is the most demanding setting that remains above 50 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal balance of performance and visual quality depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset at 212.7 FPS is highly recommended for competitive play, while High at 148.7 FPS offers a strong balance for most users. The Ultra preset at 102.7 FPS remains above 100 FPS and is suitable for those prioritizing visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 101.2 FPS provides the best combination of smoothness and graphical quality. The Medium preset at 146.1 FPS is excellent for high refresh rate monitors, while Ultra at 69.5 FPS is playable but approaches the threshold where frame drops become noticeable. Low at 169.1 FPS is excessive for most scenarios and sacrifices too much visual detail.

For 3840x2160, the Medium preset at 86.5 FPS is the recommended choice for a fluid experience. High at 57.3 FPS is acceptable for slower-paced gameplay, while Low at 94.4 FPS is ideal for maximizing frame rate at 4K. The Ultra preset at 36.6 FPS is not recommended due to sub-40 FPS performance, which can cause perceptible stuttering in an MMORPG environment.

The data indicates that the High preset offers the most consistent experience across all three resolutions, with frame rates of 148.7, 101.2, and 57.3 FPS respectively. Users with 144Hz or 165Hz monitors should prefer Medium at 1080p or 1440p to fully utilize their display's refresh rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination ranks 244th out of 1727 tested combos in Archeage, placing it in the 85th percentile of all configurations. This ranking is strong, given the game's age and the wide variety of hardware tested by the benchmark database.

Relative to other hardware pairings, this combo's position reflects the balanced nature of the CPU and GPU. The CPU's 84th percentile ranking and the GPU's 85th percentile ranking are nearly identical, suggesting neither component significantly bottlenecks the other in this game. The combo's overall rank of 244 is slightly better than either component's individual percentile, indicating synergy between the two.

The nearest CPU rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, scores only 0.7% lower in average benchmarks, meaning the Ryzen 7 5700 provides comparable CPU performance. Similarly, the RTX 4070 Ti's nearest GPU rival, the RTX 5090 Mobile, is 0.6% higher in score, showing the desktop card is nearly on par with that mobile flagship.

The rank of 244 out of 1727 puts this combo in the upper tier of tested systems, but not at the very top. This is expected given that the RTX 4070 Ti is a high-end but not flagship GPU, and the Ryzen 7 5700 is a mid-range to upper-mid-range CPU. Users seeking higher rankings would need to pair a more powerful CPU or GPU, but the current combination offers a well-rounded experience for Archeage across all resolutions and settings.
