GPU Role

The RTX 3080 is part of the GeForce 30-series and uses the GA102 chip built on Samsung’s 8 nm process. It has 8704 shading units, 272 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The memory subsystem is 10 GB of GDDR6X on a 320-bit bus, providing 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock is 1440 MHz, the boost clock is 1710 MHz, and the memory clock is 1188 MHz, listed as 19 Gbps effective.

These fixed GPU specifications appear alongside average FPS values that vary strongly with resolution and preset. At 3840x2160, Low records 78.6, Medium 71.6, High 44.7, and Ultra 30.2. At 2560x1440, Low records 136, Medium 119.1, High 80.8, and Ultra 54.3. At 1920x1080, Low reaches 199.5, Medium 181.8, High 121.1, and Ultra 83.6.

The data shows the RTX 3080 can produce very high frame rates at lower resolutions. The same GPU drops to 30.2 at 3840x2160 Ultra, the lowest value in the measured set. The GPU’s memory bandwidth does not prevent this large spread; resolution and preset have a substantial effect on measured performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured combo is ranked 530 out of 1727 entries in the Archeage combo database. This is not a top-tier placement when considered alongside the component-wide percentiles: the CPU is in the 96th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 80th percentile of all GPUs. The game-specific rank shows how this particular pair performs in Archeage rather than in synthetic workloads.

The Core i7-14700K has an average benchmark score of 70074. Its nearest CPU rivals are the Intel Core i7-14700KF at 70104 with a 0 deltaPct, the AMD EPYC 9115 at 69887 with a 0.3 deltaPct, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X at 70420 with a -0.5 deltaPct, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 at 71056 with a -1.4 deltaPct.

The GPU’s position relative to these rivals is close, with all delta values within a small range.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All measured rows contain only average FPS; min and max fields are null. The full matrix is:

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

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

| 3840x2160 | 78.6 | 71.6 | 44.7 | 30.2 |

| 2560x1440 | 136 | 119.1 | 80.8 | 54.3 |

| 1920x1080 | 199.5 | 181.8 | 121.1 | 83.6 |

At every resolution, Low is the fastest preset and Ultra is the slowest. At 3840x2160, the spread runs from 78.6 on Low down to 30.2 on Ultra. At 2560x1440, Low’s 136 is well above High’s 80.8 and Ultra’s 54.3. At 1920x1080, Low reaches 199.5, the highest value in the dataset.

Medium remains close to Low in several rows. At 3840x2160, Medium is 71.6, while Low is 78.6. At 2560x1440, Medium is 119.1, while Low is 136. At 1920x1080, Medium is 181.8, while Low is 199.5. High and Ultra are consistently the slower presets, with the gap growing at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700K is a desktop processor from the Core 14th Gen series, using the Raptor Lake architecture on Intel’s 10 nm process. It has 20 cores, 28 threads, a base clock of 3.40 GHz, a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The TDP is 125 W, and it supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory. It also includes UHD Graphics 770 as integrated graphics.

Its benchmark results include Cinebench R23 multi-core at 44534 and single-core at 6287. Cinebench R20 scores are 18704 multi-core and 2640 single-core. Geekbench multi-core is 18896, and single-core is 2932. PassMark multithread is 52392. These scores indicate strong multi-threaded throughput and strong single-thread performance.

In the measured Archeage rows, the same CPU is used for every preset. At 1920x1080 Low, the average FPS reaches 199.5. At 1920x1080 Ultra, it is 83.6. At 2560x1440 and 3840x2160, the average FPS scales downward as the load increases. The benchmark data alone does not isolate CPU usage from GPU usage, but the 199.5 Low result shows this combo can produce very high frame rates at lower settings.

Settings Recommendations

Looking only at the measured rows, Low gives the highest average FPS at every resolution. At 3840x2160, Low is 78.6, Medium is 71.6, High is 44.7, and Ultra is 30.2. At 2560x1440, Low is 136, Medium is 119.1, High is 80.8, and Ultra is 54.3. At 1920x1080, Low is 199.5, Medium is 181.8, High is 121.1, and Ultra is 83.6.

Medium is the preset that keeps average FPS closest to Low while moving beyond the lowest visual preset. At 3840x2160, Medium’s 71.6 is much closer to Low’s 78.6 than to High’s 44.7. At 2560x1440, Medium’s 119.1 remains well above High’s 80.8. At 1920x1080, Medium’s 181.8 is still a high result, with Low’s 199.5 as the only faster row.

High is a middle option but loses significant average FPS at higher resolutions. At 3840x2160, High is 44.7, which is closer to Ultra’s 30.2 than to Medium’s 71.6. At 2560x1440, High is 80.8, and at 1920x1080, High is 121.1.

Ultra is the slowest preset in every resolution group. The measured rows show 30.2 at 3840x2160, 54.3 at 2560x1440, and 83.6 at 1920x1080. Based on these values, Medium provides the strongest combination of higher visual settings and average FPS headroom across the measured matrix.
