This combo ranks in the top 20% of all tested configurations for Dave The Diver, landing at position 734 out of 3,710 combos. The pairing of AMD's 8-core Ryzen 7 5700 with NVIDIA's Blackwell-architecture RTX 5070 delivers frame rates that range from very good at 4K to exceptionally high at 1080p, with the data showing this system is never below 113 FPS average at any tested resolution or preset. The RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and the Ryzen 7 5700's 16 threads provide a balanced foundation that keeps pacing consistent across the board.

How This Combo Ranks

The 734th place out of 3,710 tested combos places this configuration in the 80th percentile of all systems evaluated for Dave The Diver. This is a strong result, though not a top-tier one, reflecting that while the individual components are capable, the game's moderate demands mean many higher-end GPUs and newer CPUs will post higher averages. The data indicates the combo sits comfortably above the median, with the RTX 5070's 82nd percentile ranking among all GPUs and the Ryzen 7 5700's 78th percentile among all CPUs contributing to a system that handles this adventure title without breaking a sweat.

Benchmark results show the CPU's average benchmark score of 25,517 places it within 0.3% of its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U and AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, which score 25,446 and 25,550 respectively. The GPU's average benchmark score of 40,377 is similarly competitive, sitting within 2% of the AMD Radeon Pro 580 and NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile. This combo's ranking reflects that both chips are mid-pack performers in their respective categories, but their combination proves more than sufficient for this game's requirements, as evidenced by the measured FPS data showing no dips below 113 FPS average even at maximum settings and 4K resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC, featuring 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die. Its 12 GB of GDDR7 memory runs at 1750 MHz with a 28 Gbps effective data rate across a 192-bit bus, yielding 672.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth—a figure that proves ample for Dave The Diver's textures and effects at all tested resolutions. The GPU's boost clock of 2512 MHz, up from a 2325 MHz base, drives its 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which the data shows is more than enough to push frame rates well past 100 FPS at 4K Ultra.

In this game, the GPU is the primary driver of frame rate differences between settings presets. The measured data shows that at 4K, moving from Ultra to Low increases average FPS from 113 to 172, a gain of 59 FPS or roughly 52%—a substantial jump that indicates the GPU's shading units and texture units are heavily utilized at higher presets. The 6,144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs deliver a texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s, which directly translates to the smooth rendering seen in the Medium preset's 144 FPS average at 4K with a 122 FPS minimum. The GPU's 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores are present, but Dave The Diver's stylized visuals do not appear to stress these specialized units, as even the Ultra preset at 4K maintains a 113 FPS average.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support, with 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, ensure that game logic and asset streaming keep pace with the GPU's output. The CPU's 65 W TDP and 7 nm process node from TSMC make it an efficient partner, and its 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms it is a solid mid-range performer.

In Dave The Diver, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, but its 16 threads help maintain consistent frame pacing at lower resolutions where the GPU is less burdened. The benchmark data shows the CPU scores notably in multithreaded tests: 20,655 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 24,303 in PassMark multithread, indicating strong parallel performance that prevents bottlenecks in this game's simulation and AI elements. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 341 FPS average, a figure that would be unattainable if the CPU were limiting the system, suggesting the Ryzen 7 5700's single-thread performance—evidenced by its 2,916 Cinebench R23 single-core score—is sufficient for this title's demands. The CPU's 3DMark scores, including 6,617 at max threads and 901 single-thread, further corroborate that this processor keeps pace without introducing frame drops.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the combo delivers playable frame rates across all presets. The Ultra preset averages 113 FPS, while High bumps that to 128 FPS. Medium provides a balanced 144 FPS average with a minimum of 122 FPS and maximum of 165 FPS, and Low reaches 172 FPS average. These figures show that even at 4K, the system never falls below the 100 FPS threshold, with the Medium preset offering the widest measured range between minimum and maximum.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance scales substantially. Ultra averages 169 FPS, High reaches 192 FPS, Medium hits 215 FPS with a 182 FPS minimum and 247 FPS maximum, and Low tops out at 256 FPS average. The jump from 4K to 1440p yields improvements of roughly 49-56 FPS across presets, indicating that the GPU's rendering load decreases significantly at this resolution while the CPU remains capable of feeding frames.

At 1920x1080, the system shows its highest performance. Low settings produce 341 FPS average, Medium 285 FPS with a 242 FPS minimum and 328 FPS maximum, High 255 FPS, and Ultra 225 FPS. The 1080p results demonstrate that the RTX 5070 is not the limiting factor at this resolution; instead, the data suggests the CPU's 16 threads and the game's engine cap out around the 341 FPS mark on Low, given that the GPU could theoretically render far more frames at this low preset with its 30.87 TFLOPS of compute.

The pattern across resolutions is consistent: each step down from 4K to 1440p to 1080p yields roughly 30-40% higher average FPS at the same preset. The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data at all resolutions, showing minimums that stay within 15-18% of averages, which indicates stable frame pacing without severe drops.

Q: Does the RTX 5070's 12 GB VRAM cause any limitations in this game?

A: The measured data shows no VRAM-related issues at any tested resolution or preset. The 12 GB of GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for Dave The Diver, as evidenced by the consistent frame rates across 4K Ultra settings.

Q: How stable are frame times across the Medium preset?

A: The Medium preset shows the most complete data. At 4K, the minimum of 122 FPS and maximum of 165 FPS around a 144 FPS average indicate a 30% spread. At 1440p, the spread is 182 to 247 FPS around a 215 FPS average, and at 1080p, 242 to 328 FPS around 285 FPS, showing consistent pacing.

Q: What percentile does this combo rank in overall, and what does that mean?

A: This combo ranks 734th out of 3,710 tested combinations, placing it in the 80th percentile. This means it outperforms roughly 80% of all tested systems for Dave The Diver, while being outperformed by the top 20% of configurations.

Settings Recommendations

The Ultra preset is the clear choice for this combo, as it delivers 113 FPS at 4K, 169 FPS at 1440p, and 225 FPS at 1080p—all well above the 60 FPS threshold and smooth even on high-refresh-rate monitors. The data shows that the step from High to Ultra costs only 15 FPS at 4K (128 to 113), 23 FPS at 1440p (192 to 169), and 30 FPS at 1080p (255 to 225), which is a modest penalty for the visual fidelity gain that Ultra settings provide.

For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p yields 341 FPS, but this comes at a significant visual quality cost. The Medium preset offers the best balance if the data's min/max values are any indication: at every resolution, Medium maintains a minimum FPS that is at least 85% of its average, suggesting the most consistent frame pacing. At 4K Medium, the 144 FPS average with a 122 FPS minimum is particularly compelling for users with 120 Hz displays, as it keeps the system above the refresh rate most of the time.

Given that the combo ranks in the top 80th percentile and never drops below 113 FPS average at any setting, the recommendation is to run Ultra at 1440p for the ideal combination of visual quality and performance headroom, or Ultra at 4K if the display supports it, since the 113 FPS average is still comfortably high. The High preset serves as a fallback for users who want a small FPS buffer without sacrificing much visual quality, while Medium is the best option for ensuring the tightest frame time consistency based on the measured minimum and maximum values.
