Archeage

Benchmark results for Archeage with the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER place this combo at rank 1050 out of 1727 tested combinations. The CPU is a 16-core, 32-thread Zen 5 chip with a 4.30 GHz base clock, a 5.70 GHz boost clock, and 128 MB of L3 cache. The GPU is a Turing-based card with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 1605 MHz base clock, and a 1770 MHz boost clock. Measured frames show a system that is solid at 1920x1080 and capable at 2560x1440, but at 3840x2160 the GPU becomes the clear limiting component.

Resolution Scaling

Moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 removes a large share of the frame rate at every preset. At Low settings, average FPS falls from 139.9 at 1920x1080 to 93.4 at 2560x1440 and then to 57.4 at 3840x2160. At Medium, the numbers are 127.5, 87, and 51.6. At High, they drop from 84.8 to 60.2 and then to 31. Ultra is the steepest: 57 at 1920x1080, 41.9 at 2560x1440, and 21.1 at 3840x2160.

The pattern is consistent: every settings tier loses a significant amount of average FPS as the resolution increases. This is the signature of a GPU-bound result. The CPU has very strong synthetic scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 59712 and a single-core score of 8430, but those scores do not stop the frame rate from collapsing when pixel workload rises. The 3840x2160 Ultra figure of 21.1 is not a CPU limitation; it is the RTX 2070 SUPER running out of throughput. Even at Low, 3840x2160 delivers 57.4 fps, far below the 139.9 fps the same preset produces at 1920x1080. That resolution-driven gap points almost entirely at the GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo sits at rank 1050 out of 1727 in Archeage. That places it below the middle of the field. The two components have very different standings: the CPU is at the 96th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 65th percentile of all GPUs.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 71660. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 at 71056 with a deltaPct of 0.9, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X at 70420 with a deltaPct of 1.8, the Intel Xeon 6517P at 73050 with a deltaPct of -1.9, and the Intel Core i7-14700KF at 70104 with a deltaPct of 2.2. The GPU's average benchmark score is 22206. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA RTX A400 at 22307 with a deltaPct of -0.5, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z at 22006 with a deltaPct of 0.9, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile at 22729 with a deltaPct of -2.3, and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 at 21670 with a deltaPct of 2.5.

In both cases, the reviewed part sits within a narrow band of its nearest rivals. The CPU is 0.9% above the Xeon Platinum 8270 and 2.2% above the Core i7-14700KF, while trailing the Xeon 6517P by 1.9%. The GPU is 2.5% above the RX 5700 and 0.9% above the GTX TITAN Z, while trailing the RTX A400 by 0.5% and the RTX 4060 Mobile by 2.3%. The result is a combo where the 96th-percentile CPU is paired with a 65th-percentile GPU. That mismatch explains why the combo rank is 1050: in a graphics-heavy game, the GPU's lower standing drags the pairing down even though the CPU is elite.

Settings Recommendations

Looking only at the measured rows, the best experience appears at 2560x1440 with the Medium preset. That combination produces 87 fps, which is higher than any 3840x2160 row and still uses a larger resolution than 1920x1080. Medium at 2560x1440 also beats 2560x1440 High, which drops to 60.2, and 2560x1440 Ultra, which drops to 41.9. Low at 2560x1440 is faster at 93.4, but the Medium preset delivers most of that speed while running a higher settings tier.

At 1920x1080, High is the highest setting that keeps the frame rate clearly above the Ultra result of 57. The measured High row is 84.8 fps. Medium is much faster at 127.5, and Low reaches 139.9, but High is the strongest quality tier in the measured set that remains responsive. Ultra at 1920x1080 is 57, which is actually slightly below the 3840x2160 Low result of 57.4. That makes Ultra difficult to justify at any resolution on this GPU.

At 3840x2160, no measured preset provides a frame rate comparable to the 2560x1440 Medium result. Low gives 57.4, Medium gives 51.6, High gives 31, and Ultra gives 21.1. If 3840x2160 is required, Low is the only viable measured row. The better practical choice is to run 2560x1440 Medium and keep the frame rate above what any 3840x2160 preset can deliver.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All measured rows are listed below with average FPS. Minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|---|---|---|

| 3840x2160 | High | 31 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 57.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 51.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 21.1 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 60.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 93.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 87 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 41.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 84.8 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 139.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 127.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 57 |

The Ultra preset is the weakest at every resolution. The Low preset is the only one that keeps 3840x2160 near the performance of 2560x1440 High. The Medium preset at 2560x1440 is the standout row: 87 fps, which is higher than the 1920x1080 Ultra row by a wide margin. The overall breakdown shows that the GPU's performance ceiling starts limiting around 2560x1440 Ultra and fully limits at 3840x2160 High and Ultra.

GPU Role

The RTX 2070 SUPER has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, with 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its clocks are 1605 MHz base and 1770 MHz boost, and its memory runs at 1750 MHz, or 14 Gbps effective. The card has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Its FP32 throughput is 9.062 TFLOPS, its pixel rate is 113.3 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 283.2 GTexel/s.

These specifications place the GPU at the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22206. In Archeage, the 3840x2160 results are dominated by this GPU. High produces 31 fps, and Ultra produces 21.1. Even with a 96th-percentile CPU in the system, the RTX 2070 SUPER cannot push 3840x2160 Ultra past 21.1. The settings ladder at 3840x2160 shows the GPU struggling more as the workload increases: Low 57.4, Medium 51.6, High 31, Ultra 21.1.

At lower resolutions, the GPU has enough bandwidth and pixel throughput to produce usable frame rates. The 2560x1440 High result of 60.2 and the 1920x1080 High result of 84.8 confirm that the GPU still has reasonable headroom at those settings. But the 8 GB frame buffer and the overall GPixel/s and GTexel/s limits become apparent at 3840x2160, where even Medium falls to 51.6. The nearest rival comparison reinforces the picture: this GPU is within 0.5% to 2.5% of cards like the RTX A400, GTX TITAN Z, RTX 4060 Mobile, and RX 5700. It is a mid-tier card, and the Archeage data reflects that.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D brings 16 cores, 32 threads, a 4.30 GHz base clock, a 5.70 GHz boost clock, and 128 MB of L3 cache. It uses Zen 5 on a 4 nm process, supports DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth, and has an average benchmark score of 71660. Its Cinebench R23 scores are 59712 multi-core and 8430 single-core. Geekbench single-core is 3401, and PassMark single-thread is 4737.

These numbers put the CPU at the 96th percentile of all CPUs. In the measured Archeage rows, the CPU is clearly not the component that caps the frame rate. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo reaches 139.9 fps. At 3840x2160 Low, it drops to 57.4. That drop tracks resolution, meaning the GPU becomes the constraint before the CPU does. The 2560x1440 Medium result of 87 fps is another sign that the CPU has plenty of headroom; the GPU is the part setting the frame rate ceiling.

The CPU's high single-thread score of 8430 in Cinebench R23 is relevant for a game like Archeage, which is an MMORPG and has to handle a large amount of game logic and player activity. The measured data does not isolate CPU load, but the resolution scaling makes it clear that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher settings. The 128 MB L3 cache and 5.70 GHz boost clock are the CPU-side features that stand out for this pairing. In this combination, the CPU is the strongest half of the system, and the GPU is the part that determines the playable settings ceiling.
