GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 272.0 GB/s bandwidth, a configuration that proves adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but struggles under 4K load. Its base clock runs at 1830 MHz with a boost clock of 2460 MHz, and the card's 3072 shading units process data at a 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 rate. In Archeage, the GPU's role becomes the dominant factor as resolution climbs, evidenced by the steep FPS declines from 1080p to 4K.

The 4060's 61st percentile ranking among all GPUs places it in the mid-range tier, and its nearest rivals—the AMD Radeon HD 7790, Radeon 780M, Radeon Pro 560, and Radeon Pro 460—all score within 0.7% of it, showing that its performance class is tightly clustered. This means the card is neither a standout nor a laggard in its bracket, and its behavior in Archeage reflects that. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game's demands at Medium and High settings, but the 4K Ultra preset at 24 FPS suggests the memory bandwidth and compute throughput are insufficient for maximum settings at that resolution.

The RTX 4060's memory clock runs at 2125 MHz with 17 Gbps effective speed, and its 236.2 GTexel/s texture rate and 118.1 GPixel/s pixel rate contribute to its measured performance. In the benchmark results, the card scores 19545 in Passmark G3D and 9213 in GPU compute, numbers that correlate with its mid-pack standing. For Archeage, the GPU is the clear bottleneck at 4K and even at 1440p Ultra, where the 42 FPS average indicates that the graphics card cannot maintain high frame rates when pixel count and settings escalate.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows a predictable decline as resolution increases, but the rate of decline reveals where the bottleneck lies. At 1080p Low, the system produces 153 FPS, which drops to 103 FPS at 1440p Low (a 32.7% decrease) and then to 59 FPS at 4K Low (a 42.7% decrease from 1440p). This pattern indicates that even at the lowest settings, the GPU is struggling to keep pace with the increasing pixel count, as the CPU has ample headroom with its 8 cores and 16 threads.

For Medium settings, the scaling is similar: 136 FPS at 1080p, 91 FPS at 1440p, and 52 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 33.1%, and from 1440p to 4K is 42.9%, showing that the GPU's workload grows non-linearly with resolution. The High preset follows the same trend with 92 FPS at 1080p, 62 FPS at 1440p, and 36 FPS at 4K, where the 4K result is exactly half of the 1080p figure.

The Ultra preset shows the most severe degradation: 63 FPS at 1080p, 42 FPS at 1440p, and 24 FPS at 4K. This represents a 61.9% drop from 1080p to 4K, which is larger than the drops seen at other presets, indicating that the combination of high resolution and maximum settings overwhelms the GPU. The data strongly suggests that the RTX 4060 is the limiting component at resolutions above 1080p, as the CPU's synthetic scores (27051 average, 79th percentile) would not typically cause such dramatic frame rate collapses.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 2001 out of 3708 tested combos for Archeage, placing it slightly below the median of all systems tested. This rank reflects a system that can handle the game at mainstream resolutions but is not optimized for high-end 4K play. The CPU's performance relative to its rivals is strong—it sits within 0.6% of the Intel Core i9-9900K, AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, Intel Core i5-14400T, and Intel Core i7-1370P—yet the overall combo ranking is dragged down by the GPU's mid-tier standing.

The RTX 4060's 61st percentile among GPUs, combined with the CPU's 79th percentile, creates a mismatch where the processor outpaces the graphics card in relative performance. This imbalance manifests in the game's frame rates: at 1080p, the system achieves 153 FPS on Low, which is excellent, but at 4K, it cannot maintain even 60 FPS on Medium. The combo rank of 2001 suggests that many other tested systems, likely with higher-end GPUs, outperform this pairing in Archeage's more demanding scenarios.

Compared to its nearest GPU rivals, the 4060's performance is nearly identical, with deltas of -0.2% to 0.7% against the HD 7790, Radeon 780M, Radeon Pro 560, and Radeon Pro 460. This means that swapping the GPU for any of these would yield similar frame rates in Archeage, reinforcing that the GPU class, not the specific model, dictates the combo's ranking. The CPU's proximity to its rivals (all within 0.6%) further confirms that this combo's rank is a function of both components' mid-tier positioning rather than any single weakness.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers strong results: Low settings produce 153 FPS average, Medium achieves 136 FPS with a minimum of 115 FPS and a maximum of 156 FPS, High reaches 92 FPS, and Ultra drops to 63 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1080p is well within the system's comfort zone, with even Ultra settings remaining above 60 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance degrades predictably. Low settings yield 103 FPS average, Medium delivers 91 FPS with a minimum of 78 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS, High falls to 62 FPS, and Ultra drops to 42 FPS. The 1440p results show that Medium is the highest preset that maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, while High hovers right at the threshold and Ultra falls below playable levels for many users.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles significantly. Low settings produce 59 FPS average, which is just under the 60 FPS target, Medium achieves 52 FPS with a minimum of 45 FPS and a maximum of 60 FPS, High drops to 36 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 24 FPS. The 4K data reveals that even Low settings cannot reliably hit 60 FPS, and the Medium preset's minimum of 45 FPS suggests noticeable stuttering in demanding scenes. The absence of min/max data for Low, High, and Ultra presets at all resolutions except Medium makes it impossible to assess frame time consistency for those settings, but the averages alone demonstrate clear limitations.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p gameplay, the Medium preset offers the best experience, delivering 136 FPS average with a tight range of 115 to 156 FPS. This provides smooth, consistent performance while still offering visual improvements over Low. Players seeking maximum frame rates can use Low at 153 FPS, but Medium's 17 FPS penalty is a worthwhile trade for better visuals. High at 92 FPS is also viable, though Ultra at 63 FPS sits too close to the 60 FPS threshold to guarantee stability in crowded areas.

At 1440p, the Medium preset is the clear recommendation, with 91 FPS average and a minimum of 78 FPS that ensures smooth gameplay even in demanding situations. Low at 103 FPS is an option for competitive play, but Medium provides a significant visual upgrade for only a 12 FPS loss. High at 62 FPS is borderline, and the risk of dropping below 60 FPS in heavy combat makes it less advisable. Ultra at 42 FPS is not recommended for general play, as the frame rate dips would likely be noticeable.

For 4K, the system cannot deliver a consistently smooth experience at any setting. Low at 59 FPS is the only preset that approaches playability, but it falls short of the 60 FPS target and offers minimal visual fidelity. Medium at 52 FPS with a 45 FPS minimum would result in frequent stuttering, and High (36 FPS) and Ultra (24 FPS) are effectively unplayable for an MMORPG where responsiveness matters. Users targeting 4K should consider lowering the resolution to 1440p, where Medium provides a far superior experience, or accept significant compromises at 4K Low.

The data indicates that the optimal configuration for this hardware is 1440p Medium, which balances visual quality, frame rate consistency, and performance headroom. For users prioritizing maximum smoothness, 1080p Medium or Low are both excellent choices, with the latter offering the highest frame rates in the entire dataset at 153 FPS. The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700G's solid CPU performance and the RTX 4060's mid-tier GPU capabilities makes this system best suited for 1080p and 1440p play, with 4K reserved only for those willing to accept Low settings and sub-60 FPS performance.
