FAQ

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 5700X3D a bottleneck for the RTX 2060 SUPER in Archeage?

A: The data suggests that at lower resolutions and settings, the CPU is likely providing enough headroom. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 126.4 FPS, which is nearly double the 4K High result of 30.2 FPS. The CPU’s strong multi-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22366) and high L3 cache of 96 MB shared indicate it can handle the game’s logic, but the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution and settings increase.

Q: How does the RTX 2060 SUPER compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RTX 2060 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 19774. It is 0.3% ahead of the GeForce GTX TITAN (19706) and 0.5% ahead of the RTX 2070 (19680). It leads the Quadro K5200 (19623) by 0.8% and the Tesla K40m (19519) by 1.3%. These are marginal differences, meaning the GPU sits in a very competitive performance bracket where small clock or driver variations can shuffle the order.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Archeage?

A: Based on the measured FPS, 1080p is the only resolution where the combo consistently exceeds 60 FPS across all settings. At 1440p, only the Low setting (89.3 FPS) and Medium setting (74.6 FPS) break the 60 FPS threshold. At 4K, no setting achieves 60 FPS, with the highest being Low at 48.3 FPS.

Q: Does the 8 GB VRAM on the RTX 2060 SUPER cause issues at higher settings?

A: The data indicates a severe performance cliff when moving from High to Ultra settings. At 1440p, the drop is from 51.3 FPS to 36.8 FPS, and at 4K it drops from 30.2 FPS to 18.9 FPS. This suggests that Ultra settings place a heavy demand on the GPU, likely pushing against the 8 GB memory capacity and the 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, though the exact cause is not isolated in the data.

Q: How does the CPU’s single-thread performance affect Archeage?

A: Archeage, being an MMORPG from 2014, can be sensitive to single-thread performance. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D scores 3157 in Cinebench R23 single-core, which is respectable. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system hits 126.4 FPS, indicating that the CPU’s single-thread capabilities are sufficient to push high frame rates when the GPU is not the limiting factor.

Q: Is this combo better suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming?

A: For a consistent experience above 60 FPS, 1080p is the target. The combo achieves 79.7 FPS at 1080p High and 54.8 FPS at 1080p Ultra. For 1440p, players would need to stick to Low or Medium settings to stay above 60 FPS. The 4K results are mostly below 50 FPS, making it impractical for smooth gameplay.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p Low, the system produces 126.4 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 89.3 FPS, a reduction to roughly 70.6% of the 1080p figure. At 4K Low, the frame rate falls to 48.3 FPS, which is only 38.2% of the 1080p Low result. This drop-off is steeper than the pure pixel-count increase would suggest, which indicates that the GPU is hitting its limits as the render resolution grows.

The pattern holds across all settings. At High settings, the progression is 79.7 FPS (1080p) to 51.3 FPS (1440p) to 30.2 FPS (4K). The 4K High result is just 37.9% of the 1080p High result. This scaling behavior points to the RTX 2060 SUPER as the primary limiting component at higher resolutions. The CPU’s performance, as evidenced by its high multi-threaded scores, is not the bottleneck here; the GPU’s raw throughput and memory bandwidth are what cap the frame rates.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings also widens at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low (126.4 FPS) and Ultra (54.8 FPS) is 71.6 FPS. At 4K, the difference between Low (48.3 FPS) and Ultra (18.9 FPS) is 29.4 FPS. The absolute drop is smaller at 4K, but the percentage loss is similar, reinforcing that the GPU is consistently the limiting factor across the board.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. Low settings produce 126.4 FPS average, which is the highest measured value in the entire dataset. Medium settings follow at 115.1 FPS, and High settings drop to 79.7 FPS. Ultra settings bring the frame rate down to 54.8 FPS, which is still playable but noticeably below the 60 FPS threshold. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 71.6 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops significantly. Low settings yield 89.3 FPS, which remains above 60 FPS. Medium settings produce 74.6 FPS, also above the threshold. High settings fall to 51.3 FPS, and Ultra settings dip to 36.8 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is 37.1 FPS, and at Ultra settings it is 18.0 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings produce 48.3 FPS, Medium settings drop to 43.1 FPS, and High settings fall to 30.2 FPS. Ultra settings bottom out at 18.9 FPS, which is the lowest result in the dataset. None of the 4K settings achieve 60 FPS, and only Low and Medium exceed 30 FPS. The data shows a clear hierarchy where 1080p is the only resolution that offers a comfortable margin for all settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture using the TU106 chip, manufactured on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It features 2176 shading units, 136 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz. Its memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

The benchmark results for this GPU show a passmark G3D score of 16462, which places it at the 63rd percentile among all GPUs. In the context of Archeage, the GPU’s role is critical. The measured FPS data shows a clear scaling with settings, indicating that the GPU’s workload increases substantially with higher quality presets. The move from Low to Ultra at 1080p results in a 71.6 FPS drop, which is a 56.6% reduction. This highlights that the GPU’s compute capabilities, particularly its 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 performance, are being taxed heavily by the higher settings.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a notable factor. At 4K Ultra, the system only manages 18.9 FPS, which is the worst result in the dataset. This suggests that the combination of high resolution and high-quality textures may be exceeding the memory capacity or bandwidth, causing a severe performance penalty. The GPU’s texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s are respectable for its class, but they are insufficient for the demands of 4K Ultra in this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is a desktop processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz. The processor is manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 74 mm². Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a substantial 96 MB of shared L3 cache.

The CPU’s benchmark performance is strong, particularly in multi-threaded workloads. It scores 22366 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 9393 in Cinebench R20 multicore. Its Passmark multithread score is 26318, and its Geekbench multicore score is 10108. These results place it at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs. The single-thread scores are also solid, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3157 and a Passmark single-thread score of 2970.

In Archeage, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and handle game logic. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 126.4 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of driving high frame rates when the GPU is not the limiting factor. However, the combo’s overall rank of 1278 out of 1727 indicates that in most scenarios, the GPU is the bottleneck. The CPU’s high L3 cache of 96 MB is beneficial for gaming, but it cannot compensate for the GPU’s limitations at higher resolutions and settings. The 105 W TDP and DDR4 memory support with dual-channel bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s are adequate for this pairing.
