Outriders

For Outriders, the combination of an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU has been benchmarked across three resolutions and four quality presets, producing twelve measured average frame rate values. The dataset shows a clear performance hierarchy: lower resolutions and lower presets consistently yield higher frame counts, with extreme drops at 4K Ultra. Within the database of tested hardware combinations, this pairing ranks 731st out of 3,710 entries, placing it in the upper tier of all recorded setups for this looter shooter.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates form a predictable pattern as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop is not constant across the quality presets. Starting on High, the 1920x1080 average is 161 FPS, while 2560x1440 drops to 138 FPS, and 3840x2160 reaches 78 FPS. The step from 1440p to 4K is far steeper than the step from 1080p to 1440p. The same effect appears on every preset, but the absolute drop at 4K becomes larger as quality rises. On Low, the averages go from 201 (1080p) to 172 (1440p) to 139 (4K). On Medium, the three values are 179, 153, and 104, respectively. On Ultra, they are 142, 108, and 56. In each case the loss from 1080p to 1440p is modest, while the loss from 1440p to 4K is decisive. This scaling profile is consistent with a system where the CPU and GPU work together well at lower pixel counts, but the heavier shader and rasterization loads at 4K become the dominant factor. The frame-rate data does not show a different pattern for Low versus Ultra - the relative relationship across resolutions holds in all presets, although the absolute values differ considerably.

FAQ

Q: What is the lowest measured average frame rate in the entire dataset?

A: The lowest average is 56 FPS, recorded at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings.

Q: Does the Medium preset record min/max frame values?

A: Yes. The Medium preset is the only one that includes both average and min/max data. At 1080p, the min is 152 and max is 205. At 1440p, the min is 130 and max is 176. At 4K, the min is 88 and max is 119.

Q: What average does this combo achieve at 1440p High?

A: The 2560x1440 High preset yields an average of 138 FPS.

Q: How does the GPU's launch MSRP relate to the data?

A: The GPU launched at a specified MSRP of 1,199 USD. The measured frame rates stand independently of that figure.

Q: Which settings give the highest average at 1080p?

A: The Low preset delivers the highest 1080p average, at 201 FPS.

Q: How many total combinations were ranked for Outriders?

A: The rank is reported as having 3,710 total combinations.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 in this setup carries 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, with a measured memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. Its base clock is 2,205 MHz and the boost clock reaches 2,505 MHz. The memory clock is 1,400 MHz, which the data also reports as 22.4 Gbps effective. These values place the GPU far above the typical envelope for the game. In the benchmark suite, the GPU's average score is 54,247, with a percentile of 86 relative to all GPUs. Its closest measured rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, which scores essentially the same (54,209, delta 0.1%). Two AMD Radeon cards appear with slight negative deltas: the Radeon Pro W5700X (54,828, delta -1.1%) and the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55,698, delta -2.6%).

The measured Outriders data shows that the 4080 is far from being a limiting factor at 1440p or 4K High and Medium. For example, at 2560x1440 High the combo reaches 138 FPS, and at 4K High it drops to 78. The presence of 16 GB of memory is notable, but the frames never approach an emergency case at any of the settings. The data strongly suggests that the GPU core is doing the heavy lifting at the highest resolutions, given how much frame rate declines when the quality preset and pixel count are raised. The contrast between 4K Low (139 FPS) and 4K Ultra (56 FPS) is a 83 FPS difference in measured averages - though we cannot directly attribute it to specific shader, texture, or shadow features, nothing in the data contradicts the expectation that the RTX 4080 is the main driver of these figures.

Settings Recommendations

When looking at the measurements, the Low preset gives the highest raw average at every resolution: 201 FPS at 1080p, 172 at 1440p, and 139 at 4K. For anyone prioritizing raw frame rate over visual quality, Low is the clear winner in the dataset. The Medium preset is the only one that provides min and max values, making it the only choice with documented consistency data. At 1080p, Medium averages 179 FPS with a min of 152 and max of 205. At 1440p, it averages 153 FPS (min 130, max 176), and at 4K it averages 104 FPS (min 88, max 119). High preset yields slightly lower averages than Medium (161, 138, 78 across resolutions) but still gives very playable 4K at 78 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, with 4K at a plain 56 FPS average. Given the lack of min/max data on most presets, the Medium preset stands out as the most comprehensive measured configuration - the combo not only clears 100 FPS at 4K on Medium, it also saturates the frames per second at 1080p, staying above 150 FPS at all times with this processor and GPU pairing. If the target is to keep the frame rate as high as possible with the simplest comparison, Low at 1440p or 4K will always deliver the top figure from the measured set.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.5 GHz and a boost of 4.4 GHz. It has a 32 MB L3 cache and uses a 7 nm process node. In benchmark measurements, it reaches high marks: 3DMark single-thread score of 882, 3DMark 2-threads score 1,737, Cinebench R23 multi-core at 18,309 and single-core at 2,584. Its average benchmark score is 20,468, with a percentile of 74 versus all CPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V sits at 20,454 (delta 0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G at 20,425 (0.2%), and two EPYC processors at 20,422 and 20,363 (both 0.2–0.5%). These are small margins, meaning the 5600 is essentially pinned to the same ballpark as those components.

The frame rates that can be achieved with this CPU at 1080p are remarkably high. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 201 FPS, still above 140 FPS even on Ultra. This indicates the CPU can feed the RTX 4080 enough data to keep frame rates well beyond typical monitor refresh rates at 1080p. The fact that the gaps between 1080p and 1440p are modest compared to 1440p-to-4K suggests that the CPU is not the limiting component in the 1080p domain, since the GPU would typically have more headroom as resolution increases. The single-core and multi-core performance, boosted by 12 threads, is sufficiently to drive this game’s simulation far above the 240 Hz class. The 32 MB cache and a 7 nm node all are present in the data, but the critical measurement is that the processor's benchmark results never dips below smooth performance in Outriders across the entire matrix of settings.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination is ranked 731st among the 3,710 tested combinations for Outriders. Such a rank indicates that the majority of tested setups deliver lower average frame-rates than this pairing, though exact percentiles are not part of the data. The position is consistent with the strong absolute numbers: at no point in any measured configuration does the average frame rate fall below 56 FPS, and the best setting (1080p Low) reaches 201 FPS. Combining a CPU with a benchmark percentile of 74 and a GPU with a percentile of 86 gives a combination that is much higher than the middle of the distribution. When compared to rival configurations in the same benchmark database (which mostly looked at these specific components, but in terms of score, not exact frame rates), the CPU sits within 0.5% of the nearest rivals on average scores, and the GPU occupies a similar position with a delta of 0.1–2.7% to its closest neighbors. The unnecessary caution is not needed: a rank of 731 out of 3,710 places this setup in the top 20% of results, approximately, though no percentage is provided in the metrics. The data measuring for the frame-rate study (marked as "dataIsMeasured") is represented as a reliable set, and the rank reflects a real over-performer within the total distribution for this single game.
