Outriders

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination lands at rank 1186 out of 1693 tested combos in Outriders. This places the pairing in the lower third of the database, indicating that while it can handle the game, it is far from the top tier of tested hardware configurations. The combo’s rank reflects a system that is functional for the title but will require settings adjustments to achieve smoother frame rates, especially at higher resolutions. The data suggests this pairing is a mid-pack performer, offering a playable experience without the headroom found in higher-ranked configurations.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1186 out of 1693 puts it in the 30th percentile of all tested pairings for Outriders. This is a significant finding because it shows that most other CPU and GPU combinations in the database deliver better performance in this specific title. The rank is not a measure of absolute failure but rather a position that indicates the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting factor when paired with the Ryzen 5 7500F. The CPU itself is a strong performer, ranking in the 82nd percentile against all CPUs tested, but the GPU’s 63rd percentile standing drags the overall combo down. In practical terms, this means the system will struggle to maintain high frame rates at 4K Ultra settings, but it can excel at 1080p with lowered settings. The data shows a clear hierarchy: the CPU has ample headroom, while the GPU is the bottleneck in most scenarios.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture and features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its base clock runs at 1470 MHz with a boost clock of 1650 MHz. In Outriders, these specifications translate to a measurable performance ceiling. At 4K resolution, the GPU’s limits become apparent: it averages 38.3 FPS on High settings, which is playable but not smooth, and drops to 26.9 FPS at Ultra. The 8 GB VRAM buffer is sufficient for the game’s textures at most settings, but the core clock speeds are not enough to push high frame rates at 4K. The GPU’s nearest rival is the GTX TITAN, which scores 0.3% higher on average, and the RTX 2070, which is 0.5% ahead. This shows the RTX 2060 SUPER is positioned just below the RTX 2070 in raw compute, and the benchmark results in Outriders reflect that close margin. The GPU’s 63rd percentile ranking against all GPUs indicates it is a mid-range part, and the measured FPS data confirms it is better suited for 1440p and 1080p gaming.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution to play Outriders with this combo?

A: Based on the measured FPS data, 1920x1080 is the most suitable resolution. At 1080p, the combo averages 84.1 FPS on Ultra settings and 111.3 FPS on High, providing a smooth experience. At 2560x1440, the average drops to 69.2 FPS on High, which is still playable but less consistent.

Q: How does the RTX 2060 SUPER compare to its closest rival in this game?

A: The GPU’s nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, which has an average benchmark score that is 0.3% higher. The RTX 2070 is 0.5% ahead. This means the RTX 2060 SUPER performs nearly identically to the GTX TITAN and slightly below the RTX 2070 in synthetic tests.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 7500F a bottleneck for the RTX 2060 SUPER in Outriders?

A: The data suggests the CPU is not the bottleneck. The Ryzen 5 7500F ranks in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 63rd percentile. The CPU’s high benchmark scores, such as 22799 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, indicate it has more than enough headroom to feed the GPU.

Q: Can this combo achieve 60 FPS at 4K resolution?

A: No, not with the settings tested. At 4K, the combo averages 38.3 FPS on High and 47.1 FPS on Medium. Only at Low settings does it reach 67.9 FPS, which exceeds 60 FPS but requires significant visual compromises.

Q: What is the performance difference between 1080p and 1440p at High settings?

A: At 1080p High, the combo averages 111.3 FPS. At 1440p High, the average drops to 69.2 FPS. This represents a 37.9% reduction in frame rate when moving from 1080p to 1440p, highlighting the GPU’s resolution scaling limits.

Q: How does the combo perform at Ultra settings across all resolutions?

A: The Ultra preset is the most demanding. At 1080p, it averages 84.1 FPS, at 1440p it drops to 52.5 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 26.9 FPS. The data shows a steep performance cliff as resolution increases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how this combo scales across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo is highly capable: Low settings produce an average of 206.3 FPS, Medium yields 149.1 FPS, High delivers 111.3 FPS, and Ultra still manages 84.1 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the GPU is able to push frame rates well above the typical 60 FPS target, even at the highest preset. Moving up to 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably. Low settings average 130.8 FPS, which is still excellent, but Medium falls to 92.9 FPS, High to 69.2 FPS, and Ultra to 52.5 FPS. The 1440p results show that the RTX 2060 SUPER is adequate for this resolution, but users will need to choose between High settings at around 70 FPS or Ultra at just over 50 FPS. At 3840x2160, the GPU struggles significantly. Low settings average 67.9 FPS, Medium drops to 47.1 FPS, High falls to 38.3 FPS, and Ultra yields a mere 26.9 FPS. The 4K data confirms that this combo is not suited for 4K gaming unless the user is willing to play at Low settings. The scaling pattern is consistent: from 1080p to 1440p, the frame rate drops by roughly 38-40% at each settings tier, and from 1440p to 4K, the drop is even steeper, around 45-50%. This indicates the GPU’s memory bandwidth and core clock are insufficient for the higher pixel counts.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. In Outriders, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with frames, and the data shows it does this effectively. The CPU’s benchmark scores are strong: it achieves 22799 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3218 in single-core, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival is the Intel Core i7-11850H, which scores 0.1% higher on average, and the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, which is 0.3% lower. This indicates the 7500F is a well-balanced processor that does not hold back the RTX 2060 SUPER. The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support provide ample data throughput for the game’s engine. Given that the GPU is the weaker component in this pairing, the CPU’s high single-thread performance ensures that frame times remain consistent, especially at lower resolutions where the CPU is more likely to be taxed. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 206.3 FPS, a number that is only possible with a strong CPU that can process game logic and draw calls quickly. The data shows the Ryzen 5 7500F is not a limiting factor in Outriders, and any performance shortfall is attributable to the GPU.
