Outriders

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a strong showing in Outriders, a looter shooter that scales heavily with resolution. Measured frame rates across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K at four quality presets show a system that can handle high refresh rates at lower resolutions while still maintaining playable performance at 4K. The combo ranks 414th out of 1693 tested configurations, placing it in the upper tier of the database. With a CPU that sits in the 79th percentile and a GPU in the 84th percentile, this pairing is well balanced for the game’s demands.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep, but the pattern varies by preset. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 160.9 at 1920x1080 to 131.1 at 2560x1440, then to 65.7 at 3840x2160. The gap between 1440p and 4K is much larger than the gap between 1080p and 1440p, which indicates that the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution climbs. Low settings show a similar trend: 200.6 at 1080p, 169.6 at 1440p, and 124.8 at 4K. Medium settings go from 181.1 to 152.8 to 90.1, while Ultra drops from 143.1 to 95.4 to 52.1. The 4K Ultra result of 52.1 is the lowest recorded, falling below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. At 1080p, every preset exceeds 143 FPS, with Low hitting 200.6, so the CPU and GPU together are more than capable of driving high-refresh monitors at that resolution. The scaling behavior is classic GPU-bound behavior: as pixel count increases, the frame rate drops disproportionately, and the CPU’s role diminishes.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combos for Outriders, this pairing sits at rank 414 out of 1693. That places it ahead of the majority of configurations, though not at the very top. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 21765, with a percentile of 79, meaning it outperforms roughly four out of five CPUs. The GPU’s average score is 42576, with a percentile of 84. The combo rank is slightly lower than either component’s percentile, which suggests that the game’s performance is not purely a sum of raw CPU and GPU scores. The CPU’s nearest rival is the Intel Xeon D-1746TER, which scores 21635, a delta of 0.6% — the Ryzen 5 5600 is marginally faster. On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER’s average score of 42576 is within 0.2% of the NVIDIA RTX A6000’s 42653, and 0.3% below the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE’s 42723. These deltas are tiny, meaning the GPU is effectively tied with those cards in raw compute. The combo’s rank of 414 reflects a system that is well above average for Outriders, but not in the top 100, which would require more extreme hardware.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. Its base clock is 1980 MHz and boost clock is 2475 MHz, while the memory runs at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These specifications are directly relevant to Outriders, which is a visually dense looter shooter with heavy texture streaming. The 12 GB frame buffer is ample for the resolutions tested, and the high bandwidth helps maintain consistent frame times. The GPU’s Passmark G3D score is 29995, and its average benchmark score is 42576, placing it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. In the measured FPS data, the GPU shows its strength at 1440p: High settings average 131.1 FPS, Medium 152.8, and Low 169.6. At 4K, the GPU still delivers 65.7 FPS on High and 90.1 on Medium, but Ultra drops to 52.1, indicating that the Ultra preset is too demanding for this card. The boost clock of 2475 MHz is high, and the FP32 compute of 35.48 TFLOPS suggests strong raw performance. The launch MSRP of the GPU is 599 USD.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average frame rates for this combo in Outriders:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

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

| 1920x1080 | Low | 200.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 181.1 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 160.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 143.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 169.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 152.8 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 131.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 95.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 124.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 90.1 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 65.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 52.1 |

At 1080p, all presets are above 143 FPS, making this combo ideal for 144Hz or even 240Hz monitors. The Low preset’s 200.6 FPS is particularly high, suggesting that the CPU is not a limiting factor at this resolution. At 1440p, the system remains very playable: even Ultra averages 95.4 FPS, which is smooth for most players. The sweet spot appears to be 1440p High, which delivers 131.1 FPS — a good balance of visual quality and speed. At 4K, only Low and Medium exceed 90 FPS, with High at 65.7 and Ultra at 52.1. For 4K gaming, players would need to stick to Medium or Low to maintain a consistent 60+ FPS experience. The data shows a clear progression: the GPU is the dominant factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU keeps up at lower ones.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It has a TDP of 65 W and uses the AM4 socket. Its cache layout includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 18309 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2584 in single-core, along with a 3DMark single-thread score of 882. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 21765, with a percentile of 79. Its nearest rival, the Intel Xeon D-1746TER, scores 21635, a delta of 0.6% — the Ryzen is slightly ahead. The CPU’s single-thread performance is particularly relevant for Outriders, which is a game that relies on strong per-core performance for physics and AI. The measured FPS at 1080p — where the CPU is more likely to be a factor — shows that the Ryzen 5 5600 is more than sufficient: even at Ultra, the average is 143.1 FPS, and at Low it reaches 200.6. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU takes over as the bottleneck, as evidenced by the resolution scaling. The CPU’s 12 threads also help with background tasks and streaming, though the game itself is not heavily multithreaded. The launch MSRP of the CPU is $199.
