GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is built on the GA104 chip using Samsung's 8 nm process, packing 17,400 million transistors across a 392 mm² die. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) on a 256-bit bus, yielding 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output pipelines drive a pixel rate of 165.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 317.4 GTexel/s. Compute capability reaches 20.31 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16.

In Outriders, the GPU's influence becomes evident when comparing settings at each resolution. At 1080p, the delta between Low and Ultra is 128.8 FPS (238.9 vs. 110.1), while at 4K that gap narrows to 60.6 FPS (94 vs. 33.4). This pattern suggests the RTX 3070's raw throughput handles lower resolutions with headroom, but Ultra settings at higher resolutions expose its 8 GB memory capacity as a potential limitation. The GPU places in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, with its benchmark scores ranging from 85 in Passmark DirectX 12 to 22,214 in Passmark G3D.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how resolution changes the balance between CPU and GPU workload. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 238.9 FPS, which drops to 176.5 FPS at 2560x1440 (−26%) and further to 94 FPS at 3840x2160 (−47% from 1440p). This steep decline indicates the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises, even on Low settings where the CPU should have less geometry overhead.

For High settings, the scaling is similar but with a different magnitude: 152.2 FPS at 1080p falls to 92.5 FPS at 1440p (−39%) and 50.6 FPS at 4K (−45% from 1440p). The percentage drops between 1440p and 4K are nearly identical across Low and High, suggesting the RTX 3070's memory bandwidth and shading throughput are the primary constraints at 4K regardless of quality preset. Medium settings show 202.4 FPS at 1080p, 126 FPS at 1440p, and 68.4 FPS at 4K, while Ultra drops from 110.1 FPS at 1080p to 70 FPS at 1440p and 33.4 FPS at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a clear hierarchy across settings. Low settings produce an average of 238.9 FPS, Medium reaches 202.4 FPS, High hits 152.2 FPS, and Ultra settles at 110.1 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 36.5 FPS, while Medium to High removes another 50.2 FPS, and High to Ultra eliminates 42.1 FPS. The largest relative drop occurs between Medium and High at 25%, suggesting a significant visual feature toggle in that range.

Moving to 2560x1440, Low settings deliver 176.5 FPS, Medium achieves 126 FPS, High produces 92.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 70 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p costs 62.4 FPS on Low, 76.4 FPS on Medium, 59.7 FPS on High, and 40.1 FPS on Ultra. Higher settings show smaller absolute losses in frame rate when moving up in resolution, which aligns with the GPU becoming more saturated.

At 3840x2160, the results compress further: Low averages 94 FPS, Medium reaches 68.4 FPS, High drops to 50.6 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 33.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 60.6 FPS, compared to 128.8 FPS at 1080p. This compression indicates that at 4K, even the lowest settings cannot fully relieve the GPU bottleneck, and Ultra settings push the hardware to its limits with an average below 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks 637th out of 1,693 tested combos in Outriders, which places it in the 62nd percentile of all configurations in this database. This ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically outclasses the other for this specific title. The CPU's 83rd percentile standing across all CPUs and the GPU's 72nd percentile across all GPUs suggest the processor has slightly more headroom than the graphics card in general workloads.

In Outriders, the measured results indicate the RTX 3070 is the more limiting factor, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The CPU's strong single-thread performance—evidenced by a 3,246 Cinebench R23 single-core score and a 999 3DMark single-thread score—ensures that at 1080p Low, where the GPU has ample capacity, the system still reaches 238.9 FPS without obvious CPU stalls. The combo's mid-pack ranking likely stems from the GPU's 8 GB memory capacity being strained by Outriders' higher presets at 1440p and 4K, rather than any deficiency in the CPU's 6-core, 12-thread configuration.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a Zen 4 (Raphael) part built on TSMC's 5 nm process, containing 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. The CPU supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth, plus ECC memory capability. It connects via PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes and includes integrated Radeon Graphics.

In Outriders, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p with Low settings, where the 238.9 FPS average suggests the processor can feed the GPU sufficiently even at high frame rates. The 3DMark scores show a progression from 1,938 at 2 threads to 3,686 at 4 threads, 5,508 at 8 threads, and 6,503 at max threads—indicating that scaling saturates after 8 threads, which is typical for a 6-core part. The Passmark multithread score of 27,058 and single-thread score of 3,910 reinforce that this CPU handles both lightly-threaded game logic and multithreaded background tasks competently. The 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26,617, places it slightly above the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and just below the Core i9-12900HK in synthetic tests.

Settings Recommendations

For 1920x1080 displays, the data supports using High settings as the sweet spot: 152.2 FPS average remains well above typical high-refresh thresholds while offering better visual quality than the 202.4 FPS Medium preset or the 238.9 FPS Low preset. Ultra at 1080p still delivers 110.1 FPS, which is playable but costs 42.1 FPS compared to High—a meaningful sacrifice for what is likely a marginal visual gain.

At 2560x1440, Medium settings at 126 FPS provide the best balance between smoothness and fidelity. High drops to 92.5 FPS, which is acceptable for most monitors, but Ultra at 70 FPS may introduce noticeable stutter on 144 Hz panels. Low at 176.5 FPS is available for competitive play, though the visual compromise is substantial. For 3840x2160, the measured data shows that only Low (94 FPS) and Medium (68.4 FPS) maintain playable averages. High at 50.6 FPS and Ultra at 33.4 FPS fall below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider the minimum for a smooth experience in a looter shooter.

Across all resolutions, the pattern indicates that the RTX 3070's 8 GB memory capacity is the limiting factor at Ultra settings, particularly at 1440p and 4K. The largest frame rate jumps occur between Medium and High at every resolution (50.2 FPS at 1080p, 33.5 FPS at 1440p, 17.8 FPS at 4K), suggesting that High preset introduces a significant rendering feature that taxes the GPU heavily. Players prioritizing frame consistency should stick to Medium at 1440p or 4K, while 1080p users can comfortably run High or even Ultra depending on their refresh rate and visual preferences.
