Dave The Diver

Dave The Diver is not a typical GPU stress test, but the measured frame rates for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination reveal a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings. At 1080p, the system delivers exceptionally high frame rates, with the Low preset reaching 296 FPS average. This number drops to 267 FPS at Medium, 238 FPS at High, and 211 FPS at Ultra, showing a predictable scaling curve that reflects the game’s graphical demands. Moving to 1440p, the averages decrease: Low runs at 240 FPS, Medium at 201 FPS, High at 179 FPS, and Ultra at 158 FPS. At 4K, the most demanding resolution tested, the averages fall to 161 FPS for Low, 135 FPS for Medium, 120 FPS for High, and 106 FPS for Ultra. The drop from 1080p Low to 4K Low is 135 FPS, which is a 45.6% reduction. For High settings, the drop from 238 FPS at 1080p to 120 FPS at 4K is 118 FPS, a 49.6% reduction. These percentage differences are relatively consistent across presets, suggesting that the performance scaling is largely resolution-bound rather than setting-bound. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is narrower than the gap between 1440p and 4K, which indicates that the RTX 4070’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to handle the increased pixel count at 1440p without severe penalties. At 4K, the system still delivers playable frame rates, but the scaling curve steepens, showing that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as resolution increases. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU and GPU are both contributing to the high frame rates, but the Ryzen 5 5600F’s six cores and 12 threads are not bottlenecking the RTX 4070 in this title. At 4K, the GPU’s workload dominates, and the CPU’s role diminishes, as evidenced by the smaller absolute frame rate differences between presets at that resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Dave The Diver shows a clear pattern where resolution has a more significant impact on performance than graphics settings. At 1080p, the system achieves its highest frame rates, with the Low preset hitting 296 FPS average. This is above the refresh rate of most high-end monitors, indicating that the combination of the Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 4070 is capable of driving very high frame rates in this game. The Medium preset at 1080p yields 267 FPS, which is 29 FPS lower than Low, a 9.8% reduction. High at 1080p produces 238 FPS, which is 58 FPS lower than Low, a 19.6% reduction. Ultra at 1080p drops to 211 FPS, 85 FPS below Low, a 28.7% reduction. These percentage changes show that each step up in settings has a diminishing but noticeable impact on frame rates. Moving to 1440p, the Low preset produces 240 FPS, which is 56 FPS lower than 1080p Low, a 18.9% reduction. Medium at 1440p yields 201 FPS, 66 FPS lower than 1080p Medium, a 24.7% reduction. High at 1440p produces 179 FPS, 59 FPS lower than 1080p High, a 24.8% reduction. Ultra at 1440p drops to 158 FPS, 53 FPS lower than 1080p Ultra, a 25.1% reduction. At 4K, the Low preset produces 161 FPS, which is 79 FPS lower than 1440p Low, a 32.9% reduction. Medium at 4K yields 135 FPS, 66 FPS lower than 1440p Medium, a 32.8% reduction. High at 4K produces 120 FPS, 59 FPS lower than 1440p High, a 33.0% reduction. Ultra at 4K drops to 106 FPS, 52 FPS lower than 1440p Ultra, a 32.9% reduction. The consistent percentage reductions from 1440p to 4K across all settings indicate that the RTX 4070’s rasterization throughput is the primary constraint at that resolution. The RTX 4070 has a boost clock of 2475 MHz and 5888 shading units, which are the key components driving pixel fill rates. At 4K, the GPU must process four times the pixels of 1080p, and the measured frame rates reflect this workload. The Ryzen 5 5600F, with a boost clock of 4.00 GHz and 32 MB of shared L3 cache, provides sufficient instruction throughput to keep the GPU fed at lower resolutions, but at 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting component. The data shows that the system can maintain above 100 FPS even at 4K Ultra, which is a strong result for this hardware combination.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 plays a central role in the measured frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This bandwidth is sufficient for Dave The Diver’s texture and asset streaming needs, as evidenced by the relatively small frame rate drops between Medium and High settings at any given resolution. For example, at 1080p, the difference between Medium (267 FPS) and High (238 FPS) is 29 FPS, while the difference between High and Ultra (211 FPS) is 27 FPS. These differences are modest, suggesting that the game’s memory footprint does not exceed the RTX 4070’s capacity at these settings. The GPU’s base clock is 1920 MHz, with a boost clock of 2475 MHz. The boost clock is the more relevant figure for gaming workloads, as the GPU will automatically increase its clock speed under load. The measured frame rates at 4K Ultra (106 FPS) indicate that the GPU is operating near its performance limits at that resolution and settings combination. The RTX 4070 has 184 texture mapping units and 64 raster output units, which handle texture filtering and pixel output, respectively. These specifications are directly relevant to the game’s rendering pipeline, which relies on texture sampling and pixel shading. The GPU also includes 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores, though Dave The Diver does not appear to use ray tracing based on the measured data, as frame rates are high even at Ultra settings without any ray tracing penalty. The RTX 4070’s FP32 performance is 29.15 TFLOPS, which provides ample compute power for the game’s shader workloads. The GPU’s 200 W TDP and dual-slot design suggest it is a power-efficient card, though no power consumption data is available in the fact pack. The RTX 4070’s nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (deltaPct 0.1%), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (deltaPct 0.4%), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (deltaPct -1.3%). These comparisons show that the RTX 4070’s average benchmark score of 37648 is competitive with other high-end GPUs, though the Tesla P4 is a data center card and the RX Vega 56 is an older architecture. The GPU’s percentile ranking of 81 indicates it outperforms 81% of all GPUs in the database, placing it in the upper tier of graphics cards. In Dave The Diver specifically, the RTX 4070’s role is to deliver high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, while maintaining playable performance at 4K. The measured data shows that the GPU is not the limiting factor at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 200 FPS across all settings. At 1440p, the GPU begins to show its workload, with frame rates ranging from 158 FPS at Ultra to 240 FPS at Low. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the primary constraint, with frame rates ranging from 106 FPS at Ultra to 161 FPS at Low. The VRAM capacity of 12 GB is not exhausted in this game, as even at 4K Ultra, the system maintains an average of 106 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s compute and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors rather than memory capacity.
