Archeage

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks 771st out of 1,727 tested combos in Archeage, placing it in the upper-middle portion of the database. This position reflects a capable but not elite pairing for this MMORPG, where the measured frame rates show a system that can handle most settings well but struggles at the highest presets and resolutions. The combo’s standing is driven by a strong GPU that carries the load at lower settings, while the CPU’s 8-core, 16-thread configuration proves adequate for the game’s demands, though it does not push the combo into the top tier.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 771 out of 1,727 tested combinations means roughly 45% of tested systems outperform it in Archeage, while about 55% fall behind. This is a solid mid-pack result, but it is not a standout configuration. The RTX 3070, which sits in the 72nd percentile against all GPUs, is the primary driver of this ranking. Its average benchmark score of 28,238 places it near peers like the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, which scores 27,985 and trails by 0.9%, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti at 27,956, which is 1% behind. The GPU’s nearest rival, the AMD FirePro S7150, scores 28,409 and leads by 0.6%, showing the RTX 3070 is competitive within a tight cluster of similarly performing cards.

On the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 5700G achieves an average benchmark score of 25,626, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, scores 25,706 and leads by only 0.3%, while the Intel Xeon D-2752TER trails by 0.4% with a score of 25,532. This CPU is not a bottleneck in most scenarios, as its multi-threaded performance in Cinebench R23 (20,755 multicore) and Geekbench (8,970 multicore) demonstrates ample headroom for a game like Archeage, which does not heavily tax modern processors. The ranking, however, suggests that the combo’s overall position is limited by the GPU’s performance at higher settings, where the 8 GB VRAM and memory bandwidth become more relevant.

GPU Role

The RTX 3070 is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA104 chip, fabricated on an 8 nm process by Samsung with 17,400 million transistors on a 392 mm² die. Its base clock of 1,500 MHz boosts to 1,725 MHz, and the 8 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at 1,750 MHz with a 14 Gbps effective rate across a 256-bit bus, yielding 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is sufficient for Archeage at 1080p and 1440p, but the data shows a clear drop-off at 4K, particularly at Ultra settings where the average frame rate falls to 24.9 FPS. The GPU’s 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output pipelines deliver a pixel rate of 165.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 317.4 GTexel/s, which explains why lower settings scale well.

The GPU’s benchmark results reinforce its role. In Passmark G3D, it scores 22,214, while its DirectX 11 score is 182 and DirectX 12 score is 85, indicating that Archeage, which relies on older DirectX paths, benefits from the GPU’s raw compute rather than modern API optimizations. The RTX 3070’s FP32 performance of 20.31 TFLOPS provides the muscle for high frame rates at 1080p, where it reaches 177 FPS at Low settings. However, the 72nd percentile ranking and the measured FPS at Ultra settings suggest that the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM is a limiting factor at 4K, where the Ultra preset only manages 24.9 FPS, a figure that is barely playable. The GPU’s launch MSRP was 499 USD, which is noted once here for reference.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a predictable decline as resolution increases, but the magnitude varies by settings preset. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 107.4 FPS at 1920x1080 to 73.4 FPS at 2560x1440, a 31.7% reduction, and then to 42.3 FPS at 3840x2160, which is a further 42.4% drop from 1440p. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting component at 4K, as the CPU’s performance is relatively constant across resolutions. At Low settings, the drop is steeper: 177 FPS at 1080p falls to 119.8 FPS at 1440p (a 32.3% decline) and then to 64.4 FPS at 4K (a 46.2% decline from 1440p). This steeper decline at Low settings suggests that the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are the primary constraints, since the CPU has less work to do at lower graphical loads.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is severe. The 1080p average of 68.5 FPS drops to 45.8 FPS at 1440p (a 33.1% reduction) and then to 24.9 FPS at 4K (a 45.6% reduction from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result is the lowest measured value in the entire dataset, confirming that the RTX 3070 cannot sustain playable frame rates at the highest preset and resolution. The gap between Medium and High settings narrows as resolution increases, with Medium at 154.5 FPS (1080p), 105.2 FPS (1440p), and 60.9 FPS (4K), while High trails by 47.1 FPS, 31.8 FPS, and 18.6 FPS respectively. This indicates that the GPU’s capacity is being taxed more heavily at higher resolutions, and the diminishing returns from lower settings become less pronounced.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 3070 delivers excellent performance across all presets. Low settings average 177 FPS, Medium reaches 154.5 FPS, High hits 107.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 68.5 FPS. The gap from Low to Ultra is 108.5 FPS, showing that the GPU has significant headroom even at the highest quality setting. The 1080p results are the strongest in the dataset, with every preset exceeding the 60 FPS threshold, and even Ultra maintains a smooth experience.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates remain respectable. Low settings produce 119.8 FPS, Medium drops to 105.2 FPS, High averages 73.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 45.8 FPS. The 1440p results show that the GPU can handle most presets well, but Ultra dips below the 60 FPS mark, indicating that the 8 GB VRAM and memory bandwidth are starting to strain. The difference between Low and Medium at 1440p is only 14.6 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 31.8 FPS, suggesting that High settings incur a larger performance penalty.

At 3840x2160, the data reveals a significant drop. Low settings average 64.4 FPS, Medium averages 60.9 FPS, High falls to 42.3 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 24.9 FPS. The 4K results show that only Low and Medium presets approach playable frame rates, with High and Ultra being too demanding for the RTX 3070. The difference between Low and Medium at 4K is only 3.5 FPS, indicating that the GPU is heavily bottlenecked by memory bandwidth, and the extra load from Medium settings has a minimal impact. The Ultra preset’s 24.9 FPS is the worst result in the dataset, reinforcing that this combo is not suited for 4K gaming at maximum quality.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. Its memory support includes dual-channel DDR4 with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and it connects via PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes. The CPU’s benchmark scores are strong: Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 20,755, single-core scores 2,930, and Geekbench multicore is 8,970. These figures place it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, and it is competitive with rivals like the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which scores 25,706 on average and trails by 0.3%.

In Archeage, the CPU’s role is secondary to the GPU, but its multi-threaded performance ensures that it does not bottleneck the system at lower settings. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 177 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited, but the processor’s 16 threads handle the game’s MMO overhead, such as player counts and world state, without issue. The 3DMark benchmark scores show a scaling from 1,758 (2 threads) to 6,629 (16 threads), indicating that the CPU can leverage multiple cores effectively. However, the measured FPS at higher settings and resolutions shows that the GPU becomes the limiting factor, as the CPU’s performance is not the primary constraint. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and 7 nm process node from TSMC contribute to its efficiency, but in this game, the data shows that the GPU determines the combo’s overall ranking.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data suggests that the optimal experience for this combo is at 1920x1080 with High settings, which delivers 107.4 FPS. This preset provides a strong balance between visual quality and performance, as it is 33 FPS faster than Ultra (68.5 FPS) while offering noticeably better visuals than Medium (154.5 FPS). At 2560x1440, Medium settings at 105.2 FPS is the best choice, since High drops to 73.4 FPS and Ultra falls below 60 FPS. For users prioritizing smooth gameplay over visuals, 1440p Low at 119.8 FPS is also viable, but Medium offers a better quality-to-performance ratio.

At 3840x2160, the data shows that only Low (64.4 FPS) and Medium (60.9 FPS) presets are playable, with High (42.3 FPS) and Ultra (24.9 FPS) being too demanding. The near-identical frame rates between Low and Medium at 4K (a 3.5 FPS difference) suggest that Medium is the preferred option, as it provides better visual fidelity without a meaningful performance cost. For the best overall experience, 1080p High is the sweet spot, while 1440p Medium is the recommended compromise for users with higher-resolution monitors. Ultra settings should be avoided at any resolution above 1080p, as the GPU cannot maintain acceptable frame rates.
