Dave The Diver

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers strong frame rates in Dave The Diver, with measured averages ranging from 77.4 FPS at 4K Ultra to 230.3 FPS at 1080p Low. The combo ranks 930th out of 1626 tested configurations, placing it in the lower half of the database despite the CPU and GPU each sitting above the 50th percentile in their respective standalone benchmarks. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across resolutions, presets, and component roles, using only the data provided.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear downward trend as resolution increases. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 172.3 FPS at 1920x1080 to 129.8 FPS at 2560x1440, and further to 85.3 FPS at 3840x2160. The same pattern holds across all presets: Low goes from 230.3 to 175.9 to 116.7, Medium from 191.5 to 143.5 to 99, and Ultra from 154.2 to 116.7 to 77.4. This consistent scaling indicates that the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as pixel count rises. At 1080p, the frame rates are high enough that the CPU's 6-core/12-thread design with a 5.00 GHz boost clock is likely sufficient to avoid bottlenecking, but the drop to 4K reveals the RTX 4060's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus are still capable of producing playable results, with the lowest measured average being 77.4 FPS at 4K Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows with resolution: at 1080p, Low is 230.3 and Ultra is 154.2, while at 4K the difference is 116.7 versus 77.4. This suggests that the GPU's workload scales with pixel count, and the CPU's influence diminishes at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

In Dave The Diver, this combination is ranked 930th out of 1626 tested combos. That places it in the lower half of the database, which is surprising given the individual component percentiles: the Ryzen 5 7500F sits at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, and the RTX 4060 at the 66th percentile among GPUs. The CPU's average benchmark score of 24993 is within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (24897) and 0.1% of the Intel Core i7-11850H (24974). The GPU's average score of 23181 is 0.7% higher than the Intel Arc B580 (23021) and 0.8% higher than the AMD Radeon 760M (22999). Despite these above-average standalone scores, the in-game rank suggests that Dave The Diver may be more sensitive to other factors, such as memory bandwidth or driver optimization, rather than raw compute. The data indicates that this combo is not a top performer for this title, but it still delivers high frame rates across all tested settings. The rank of 930 out of 1626 means that roughly 57% of tested combinations perform better, yet the measured FPS numbers show that the game is highly playable at every resolution and preset.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1830 MHz and boost clock is 2460 MHz, with memory running at 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective). These specifications are well suited to Dave The Diver's art style, which does not appear to demand extreme memory capacity. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is 77.4, indicating that the GPU can handle the game's maximum settings at 4K with a playable frame rate. The GPU's synthetic benchmark scores reinforce this: its Passmark G3D score is 19545, and its average benchmark score of 23181 places it at the 66th percentile. Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 4060 is essentially tied with the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (23321, -0.6%) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (23338, -0.7%), while slightly ahead of the Intel Arc B580 (23021, +0.7%) and AMD Radeon 760M (22999, +0.8%). This suggests that the GPU's performance in Dave The Diver is consistent with its synthetic standing, and the 8 GB VRAM is not a limiting factor at any of the tested resolutions. The 128-bit memory bus, while narrower than some competitors, still delivers enough bandwidth for the game's textures and effects, as evidenced by the 77.4 FPS floor at 4K Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full set of measured averages is as follows. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 230.3 FPS, Medium 191.5, High 172.3, and Ultra 154.2. Moving to 2560x1440, the same presets yield 175.9, 143.5, 129.8, and 116.7 FPS respectively. At 3840x2160, the averages drop to 116.7 for Low, 99 for Medium, 85.3 for High, and 77.4 for Ultra. These numbers show that even the most demanding preset at 4K remains above 75 FPS, which is a strong result for a game of this genre. The difference between Low and Ultra is more pronounced at lower resolutions: at 1080p, Low is 230.3 and Ultra is 154.2, a gap of 76.1 FPS; at 4K, the gap narrows to 39.3 FPS (116.7 vs 77.4). This indicates that the GPU's workload scales with resolution, and the CPU is less of a factor at higher pixel counts. The data also shows that the Medium preset at 1440p (143.5 FPS) is nearly as fast as the High preset at 1080p (172.3 FPS), highlighting the GPU's ability to maintain high frame rates when resolution is increased but settings are kept moderate.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. It has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory. Its synthetic benchmarks are strong: Cinebench R23 multicore score is 22799, single-core 3218, and Geekbench multicore 12686. The CPU's average benchmark score of 24993 places it at the 82nd percentile, and it is within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (24897) and 0.1% of the Intel Core i7-11850H (24974). In Dave The Diver, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, AI, and physics. The high frame rates at 1080p Low (230.3 FPS) suggest that the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions. Even at 1080p Ultra, the 154.2 FPS average indicates that the processor can keep up with the GPU's output. The 65 W TDP and 5 nm process node contribute to efficient operation, but the key takeaway is that the 7500F provides ample headroom for this game, as evidenced by the fact that the frame rate scales almost entirely with GPU load as resolution increases. The 6-core/12-thread configuration is more than sufficient for a title like Dave The Diver, which does not appear to be heavily threaded.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the High preset at 2560x1440 delivers 129.8 FPS, which is a strong balance of visual quality and performance. For users with 4K displays, the Ultra preset at 3840x2160 still achieves 77.4 FPS, making it a viable option for those who prioritize image fidelity. At 1080p, the Ultra preset runs at 154.2 FPS, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on many monitors. The Low preset at 1080p reaches 230.3 FPS, which is useful for competitive play or for users with very high refresh rate displays. The data shows that the Medium preset at 1440p (143.5 FPS) is also a solid choice, offering a slight performance boost over High at the same resolution. Overall, the combination is capable of running the game at maximum settings at 1080p and 1440p, and at high settings at 4K, with all measured averages above 77 FPS. For the best experience, the High preset at 1440p is recommended, as it provides a high frame rate while maintaining visual fidelity, and the Ultra preset at 1080p is a close second for those who want maximum detail without sacrificing smoothness.
