CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz, which boosts up to 5.10 GHz. In Dave The Diver, an adventure title that does not demand heavy multi-threaded workloads, the CPU’s high single-thread performance is the key asset. The 3DMark single-thread score is 999, and the Cinebench R23 single-core score is 3,246, indicating strong per-core capability.

The processor’s multi-threading is also robust, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,992 and a Passmark multithread score of 27,058. However, the benchmark data suggests the game’s frame rates are not bound by the CPU. For example, at 1080p Low, the system achieves 317 FPS, which is a clear sign that the CPU can feed frames far faster than the GPU can render them in lighter scenes. The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support (with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s) ensure that data delivery is not a bottleneck.

The Ryzen 5 7600 sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26,617. This places it in a dead heat with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which scores 26,574 (0.2% higher). For this game, the 7600’s architecture is more than capable of handling the physics and game logic, as evidenced by the fact that frame rates scale predictably with resolution changes, which is a characteristic of GPU-bound scenarios. At 4K Ultra, the average drops to 108.4 FPS, but this is due to the GPU’s work load, not a CPU limitation. The CPU’s performance is effectively a non-factor in this title, providing a stable platform that never holds the RTX 4070 back.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. It has a base clock of 1,920 MHz and a boost clock of 2,475 MHz. The memory subsystem is 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, which yields a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This configuration is more than adequate for Dave The Diver, a game with stylized visuals that do not require massive VRAM pools or extreme bandwidth.

The GPU’s performance in this title is characterized by its ability to maintain high frame rates across all settings. At 1080p High, the average is 239.1 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra, it is 211.8 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 105.2 FPS (317 vs 211.8), showing a 33% performance cost for the highest preset. This scaling indicates that the game’s Ultra settings impose a significant load on the GPU, but the RTX 4070 handles it with ease. At 4K, the GPU is still the dominant factor, with scores ranging from 159.8 FPS at Low to 108.4 FPS at Ultra.

The RTX 4070 is in the 81st percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37,283. Its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, which scores 37,507 (0.6% higher), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile, which scores 38,135 (2.2% higher). This places the RTX 4070 in a competitive tier, but the data shows that for Dave The Diver, it is overkill. The GPU’s 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores are present but unused in this title’s standard benchmark runs, as the game does not rely on those features for its core rendering. The frame rates achieved are so high that the GPU is often idle waiting for the display refresh, especially at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 4070 ranks 374th out of 1,626 tested combos in Dave The Diver. This places it in the 77th percentile of all systems tested, meaning it outperforms 77% of the configurations in the database. The ranking is strong but not top-tier, which is expected given that the game is not particularly demanding. Higher-ranked combos likely feature more expensive CPUs and GPUs, but the measured frame rates show that the 7600 and 4070 achieve near-maximum performance in this title.

The gap between this combo and the top 10% of systems is likely minimal in practice. At 1080p Ultra, the combo hits 211.8 FPS, which is already far beyond the refresh rate of most monitors. At 1440p Ultra, it achieves 160.1 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it maintains 108.4 FPS. These numbers suggest that even if a higher-ranked combo scored 10-15% better, the user would not notice a difference on a standard 60 Hz or 144 Hz display. The combo’s rank reflects its balanced performance, where the CPU and GPU complement each other without either being a bottleneck. The data shows that the Ryzen 5 7600’s single-thread strength pairs well with the RTX 4070’s raw fill rate, resulting in a system that is capable of handling any preset at any resolution in this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how the combo scales across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are: Low 317 FPS, Medium 269.9 FPS, High 239.1 FPS, and Ultra 211.8 FPS. This shows a smooth degradation from Low to Ultra, with a 105.2 FPS drop between the extremes. The 1080p results are so high that they are likely limited by the CPU’s frame generation speed in the Low preset, as 317 FPS is an exceptional figure for any title.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high: Low 241.9 FPS, Medium 201.8 FPS, High 178.6 FPS, and Ultra 160.1 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent, with the Ultra preset losing 51.7 FPS. At 1440p, the GPU is more engaged, but the results still indicate a comfortable margin above 144 FPS for all presets. The difference between Medium and High at 1440p is 23.2 FPS, which is smaller than the 30.9 FPS difference at 1080p, suggesting diminishing returns as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are: Low 159.8 FPS, Medium 134.7 FPS, High 118.1 FPS, and Ultra 108.4 FPS. This is the only resolution where the Ultra preset dips below 120 FPS, but it still remains above 100 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is 51.4 FPS, which is less severe than at lower resolutions, indicating that the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck. The data shows that the combo is capable of delivering a playable experience at 4K, but it is most optimal at 1440p where it can push high refresh rates without any compromises.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the best experience for most users is the High preset at 2560x1440. This configuration delivers an average of 178.6 FPS, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate of common gaming monitors. The High preset offers a balance between visual quality and performance, with a 18.5 FPS advantage over Ultra at the same resolution. For users with 1080p displays, the Ultra preset is the best choice, as it provides 211.8 FPS while using the highest visual settings without any performance concern.

For 4K users, the Medium preset is recommended. It offers 134.7 FPS, which is 26.3 FPS more than High and 26.3 FPS more than Ultra, while still maintaining a visually acceptable quality level. The Low preset at 4K achieves 159.8 FPS, but the visual downgrade is unnecessary given that Medium provides 134.7 FPS, which is still a high frame rate. The data shows that the combo is powerful enough that users do not need to sacrifice settings except at 4K, where Medium is the sweet spot for maintaining a high refresh rate. At 1080p and 1440p, even the most demanding presets yield frame rates that exceed the capabilities of most displays, so the recommendation is to prioritize visual fidelity over raw FPS.
