Archeage

Archeage with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers a performance profile that is heavily dictated by resolution and settings, with the benchmark data revealing a clear hierarchy. The combination ranks 148th out of 1727 tested combos, placing it in the top 8.6% of systems for this MMORPG. The results show a GPU that is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, but which encounters a significant bottleneck at 4K Ultra, where frame rates fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a pronounced performance drop as resolution increases, a pattern that clearly identifies the GPU as the primary limiting factor at higher settings. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 217.8 FPS, but this falls to 178.4 FPS at 1440p and 104.1 FPS at 4K. This represents a 52.2% decrease from 1080p to 4K at Low settings. The scaling is steeper on the Ultra preset, where 1080p yields 107.9 FPS, 1440p drops to 74 FPS, and 4K collapses to 43.5 FPS. That is a 59.7% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the RTX 4080 SUPER's rendering workload at Ultra settings becomes increasingly demanding as pixel count rises.

The pattern shifts when examining the High preset. At 1080p, the system produces 161.2 FPS, at 1440p it drops to 111.7 FPS, and at 4K it reaches 61.2 FPS. The 4K High result is notably close to the 60 FPS target, suggesting that this is the boundary of smooth playability at that resolution. The Medium preset shows a similar trend, with 211.6 FPS at 1080p, 163.2 FPS at 1440p, and 91.1 FPS at 4K. The data indicates that the CPU, an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with 8 cores and 16 threads, is sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but the RTX 4080 SUPER's workload at 4K becomes the constraining factor, particularly on the Ultra preset where the frame rate falls to 43.5 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows indicate that the Ultra preset offers a poor experience relative to its cost in performance. At 1080p, Ultra produces 107.9 FPS, which is 49.1% lower than the Medium preset's 211.6 FPS. At 1440p, the gap widens, with Ultra at 74 FPS compared to Medium's 163.2 FPS, a 54.7% difference. At 4K, Ultra drops to 43.5 FPS, which is below the standard for smooth gameplay, while Medium maintains 91.1 FPS. The data suggests that the Medium preset delivers the most balanced experience, offering high frame rates across all resolutions, with the 4K Medium result of 91.1 FPS being particularly strong. The High preset is a viable alternative for those seeking improved visuals, with 4K High at 61.2 FPS and 1440p High at 111.7 FPS, but it does not match Medium's performance headroom. For competitive play at 1080p, the Low preset's 217.8 FPS provides the maximum refresh rate potential, but for general use, Medium is the recommended setting.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is a decisive factor in this combination's performance, with its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 256-bit memory bus providing a 736.3 GB/s bandwidth. The GPU's boost clock of 2550 MHz and 10240 shading units contribute to its 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which drives the high frame rates observed. The benchmark results show that the GPU is not memory-limited at 1080p, where the CPU's single-thread performance can keep pace, but it becomes increasingly burdened at 4K. The RTX 4080 SUPER's average benchmark score of 53610 places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, and it sits 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT in synthetic tests. However, in this game, the GPU's raw power is not enough to overcome the demands of the Ultra preset at 4K, where the frame rate drops to 43.5 FPS. The GPU's memory capacity of 16 GB is ample for this title, and the data does not show any signs of memory capacity being a limiting factor, as the performance scaling is consistent with a compute-bound workload. The GPU's end-of-life production status and launch MSRP of 999 USD are noted, but the performance data remains the key metric.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, plays a supporting role in this combination. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz, along with a 16 MB L3 cache, provide sufficient processing power for the game. The CPU's benchmark scores are competitive, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755 and a single-core score of 2930. The 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and 2-thread score of 1758 indicate that the CPU's per-core performance is adequate for the game's primary thread. The data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 217.8 FPS, which suggests the CPU is not a limiting factor at lower resolutions and settings. However, at 4K with Low settings, the frame rate drops to 104.1 FPS, and the CPU's performance becomes less relevant as the GPU's workload increases. The CPU's passmark multithread score of 24419 and its 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs show that it is a capable processor. The nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, has an average score of 25706, which is 0.3% higher, but the difference is marginal. In this game, the CPU's role is to maintain a high frame rate floor at lower resolutions, and it does so effectively, with the 1080p Medium preset producing 211.6 FPS and the 1080p High preset producing 161.2 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the system's performance across all settings. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 217.8 FPS, the Medium preset delivers 211.6 FPS, the High preset delivers 161.2 FPS, and the Ultra preset delivers 107.9 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset achieves 178.4 FPS, Medium achieves 163.2 FPS, High achieves 111.7 FPS, and Ultra achieves 74 FPS. At 3840x2160, the Low preset achieves 104.1 FPS, Medium achieves 91.1 FPS, High achieves 61.2 FPS, and Ultra achieves 43.5 FPS. The data shows a clear trend: the frame rate drops by approximately 18-20% when moving from 1080p to 1440p on the same settings, and by a further 40-50% when moving from 1440p to 4K. The most significant drop occurs between 1440p Ultra and 4K Ultra, where the frame rate falls from 74 FPS to 43.5 FPS. The 4K High result of 61.2 FPS is the only 4K setting that is close to a 60 FPS target, indicating that this is the playable limit for the resolution. The 1080p and 1440p results are uniformly high, with the lowest 1440p result being 74 FPS on Ultra, which is still smooth.

How This Combo Ranks

In the overall ranking for Archeage, the combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER holds the 148th position out of 1727 tested combos. This places the system in the top 8.6% of all configurations tested, which is a strong result. The GPU's high percentile ranking (88th) and the CPU's 83rd percentile ranking contribute to this performance, but the GPU is clearly the dominant component. The data indicates that this combo is well-suited for high refresh rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, with the 1440p High preset producing 111.7 FPS. The ranking suggests that while there are 147 combos that perform better, the vast majority of systems tested will not match this level of performance. The combination is particularly strong in scenarios where the GPU is fully utilized, such as at 1440p and 4K with Medium settings, but it is less competitive at 4K Ultra, where the frame rate falls below 60 FPS. Overall, the 148th rank out of 1727 reflects a high-performance system that excels in most scenarios, but is not at the absolute top tier for this game's most demanding settings.
