Archeage

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 sits at rank 1603 out of 2761 tested combos in Archeage. That places this pairing in the 58th percentile of all tested CPU-GPU combinations, meaning roughly 42% of tested systems deliver higher average frame rates in this specific MMORPG. The ranking reflects a mid-pack position—not a top-tier combo, but far from a bottom-feeder. The CPU itself holds a 79th percentile ranking against all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 59th percentile against all GPUs, so the system leans slightly more on processor strength than graphics muscle. In practical terms, this combo lands in the upper-middle of the pack, which is respectable for a title from 2014 but not a class leader.

The data shows an interesting split: the Ryzen 7 5700G's average benchmark score of 27051 places it within 0.6% of the Intel Core i7-1370P and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, while trailing the Intel Core i5-14400T by 0.4% and the Intel Core i9-9900K by 0.2%. These deltas are tiny—essentially a statistical tie among four rival CPUs. For Archeage, which relies heavily on single-thread performance for game logic and network handling, the 5700G's single-core results (899 in 3DMark single-thread, 1494 in Cinebench R23 single-core) are adequate but not exceptional. The GPU tells a different story: the RX 9060's average score of 16014 puts it 0.7% behind the RTX 3060 Ti, 1% ahead of both the Radeon R9 370X and RX 7700, and 2.1% ahead of the Radeon Pro W5500. This GPU is competitive with the RTX 3060 Ti class, which matters because Archeage at higher settings and resolutions leans heavily on graphics throughput.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual fidelity and playable frame rates, the Medium preset is the clear sweet spot for this combo across all three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080 Medium, the system delivers 126 FPS average with a minimum of 107 FPS and a maximum of 145 FPS—well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth MMORPG play, with enough headroom for large-scale battles or crowded cities where frame rates typically dip. At 2560x1440 Medium, the average drops to 85 FPS with a minimum of 72 FPS and a maximum of 98 FPS, which remains comfortably playable. Even at 3840x2160 Medium, the system manages 49 FPS average with a minimum of 41 FPS and a maximum of 56 FPS, which is borderline but workable for less demanding content.

High settings are viable at 1080p (86 FPS average) and 1440p (58 FPS average), but the 1440p figure sits close to the 60 FPS line, making it less consistent for competitive play. Ultra settings are not recommended: at 1080p the average drops to 58 FPS, at 1440p to 39 FPS, and at 4K to 23 FPS—all below comfortable playability thresholds. Low settings push frame rates to 142 FPS at 1080p and 95 FPS at 1440p, but the visual sacrifice in a game like Archeage, which features detailed environments and character models, is generally not worth the gain. The measured data suggests Medium at 1080p or 1440p offers the best combination of smoothness and quality; at 4K, Medium is the only preset that stays above 40 FPS average, making it the pragmatic choice for 4K displays despite the reduced detail compared to High or Ultra.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that becomes GPU-limited as resolution climbs. At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 126 at 1080p to 85 at 1440p (a 32.5% reduction), then to 49 at 4K (a further 42.4% reduction from 1440p, and 61.1% from 1080p). This steep scaling curve is characteristic of a GPU that runs out of pixel-pushing capacity at higher resolutions. The RX 9060's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes a limiting factor at 4K, where texture data and frame buffer demands increase substantially.

At Low settings, the pattern is similar but less severe: 142 FPS at 1080p, 95 FPS at 1440p, and 55 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low figure is still below 60 FPS, confirming that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at that resolution regardless of settings. At High settings, the drop from 86 FPS at 1080p to 58 FPS at 1440p (32.6% reduction) and then to 33 FPS at 4K (43.1% reduction from 1440p) shows even steeper scaling, as the higher-quality textures and effects amplify the GPU's workload. Ultra settings are the most punishing: 58 FPS at 1080p, 39 FPS at 1440p, and 23 FPS at 4K—a 60.3% reduction from 1080p to 4K.

The CPU's role becomes clearer at 1080p, where the Ryzen 7 5700G's 8 cores and 16 threads (with a 3.80 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost clock) are sufficient to feed the RX 9060 without creating a major bottleneck. The 3DMark multi-thread scores (6629 for 16 threads, 5648 for 8 threads) suggest ample parallel processing capability for Archeage's multi-threaded rendering and physics. However, the single-thread score of 899 in 3DMark indicates that per-core performance is not exceptional, which could matter in CPU-bound scenarios like large-scale PvP battles with many characters on screen. The data shows that at 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 126 FPS, which is high enough to suggest the GPU is still doing most of the work; at 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting component.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured frame rates span a wide range depending on settings. Low settings deliver the highest average at 142 FPS, followed by Medium at 126 FPS (with a minimum of 107 FPS and maximum of 145 FPS), High at 86 FPS, and Ultra at 58 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 16 FPS (11.3% difference), while the gap between Medium and High is 40 FPS (31.7% difference), and between High and Ultra is 28 FPS (32.6% difference). The scaling suggests that each settings tier adds meaningful GPU workload, with the jump from Medium to High being particularly steep.

At 2560x1440, the pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low settings average 95 FPS, Medium averages 85 FPS (minimum 72, maximum 98), High averages 58 FPS, and Ultra drops to 39 FPS. The Medium to High transition costs 27 FPS (31.8% reduction), while the High to Ultra transition costs 19 FPS (32.8% reduction). The minimum frame rate at Medium (72 FPS) is still well above the 60 FPS threshold, making this the most reliable setting for consistent 1440p play.

At 3840x2160, the numbers become marginal for smooth gameplay. Low settings average 55 FPS, Medium averages 49 FPS (minimum 41, maximum 56), High drops to 33 FPS, and Ultra falls to 23 FPS. The Medium minimum of 41 FPS indicates occasional dips below 45 FPS, which could be noticeable in fast-moving combat sequences. The progression from Low to Medium costs 6 FPS (10.9% reduction), but from Medium to High costs 16 FPS (32.7% reduction), and from High to Ultra costs 10 FPS (30.3% reduction). At 4K, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory interface are clearly stressed, as evidenced by the steep drops at higher settings.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with the Navi 44 chip, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It packs 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, with 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. The boost clock reaches 2990 MHz, while the game clock is rated at 2400 MHz and the base clock at 1700 MHz. Memory consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 running at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), delivering 288.0 GB/s bandwidth over a 128-bit bus. The card's FP32 performance of 21.43 TFLOPS and texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s are competitive for its class, as indicated by its PassMark G3D score of 17631.

In Archeage, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions and settings. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gameplay at all settings, but at 4K with High or Ultra settings, the memory bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s may struggle to keep up with the demands of high-resolution textures and effects. The measured FPS at 4K High (33 FPS) and Ultra (23 FPS) suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck, likely due to both compute and memory bandwidth limitations. The card's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3322 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 88183 provide context for its raw performance, but the game-specific data shows that Archeage is not particularly demanding on GPU compute—the RX 9060 handles 1080p Medium at 126 FPS with ease.

The GPU's 59th percentile ranking against all GPUs places it just below the RTX 3060 Ti (which it trails by 0.7% in average score) and above the RX 7700 (which it leads by 1%). This positioning means the RX 9060 is a solid mid-range card, capable of handling Archeage at 1080p and 1440p with high frame rates, but not designed for 4K gaming at maximum settings. The 28 ray tracing cores and DirectX 12 Ultimate support are irrelevant for this 2014 MMORPG, which predates those features, but the card's raw rasterization performance is what matters here.
