Outriders

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER pairing delivers a solid 1080p experience in Outriders, with performance that scales predictably as resolution increases. The data shows that this combo is best suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p, remains capable at 1440p, but struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 4K with higher graphical presets.

Settings Recommendations

For this hardware combination, the measured data indicates that the High preset at 1920x1080 offers the optimal balance of visual fidelity and performance. At this setting, the combo produces an average of 111.3 FPS, which comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay and provides enough headroom for the frame rate dips common in intense combat scenarios typical of the looter-shooter genre.

Players prioritizing maximum frame rates over visual quality should consider the Low preset at 1080p, where the system achieves a commanding 204.3 FPS average. This setting is ideal for competitive play or for users with high-refresh-rate monitors, as it ensures the display is fully utilized. The Medium preset at 1080p also remains viable, delivering 148.5 FPS, which is a substantial improvement over High while still maintaining a polished visual presentation.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the recommended choice, producing an average of 70.5 FPS. This remains above the 60 FPS playability standard, though users sensitive to frame pacing may prefer the Medium preset at 94.2 FPS for a more consistent experience. The Low preset at 1440p yields 130 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors, but the visual compromise is significant. The Ultra preset at 1440p should be avoided, as the 51.7 FPS average falls below the ideal threshold for a fast-paced action game.

At 3840x2160, the data indicates that this combination is not well-suited for demanding presets. The Low preset at 4K achieves 67.8 FPS, making it the only playable option at this resolution. The Medium preset drops to 48.8 FPS, and the High preset falls to 36.2 FPS, both of which are suboptimal for a game that requires quick reactions. The Ultra preset at 4K is essentially unplayable at 29.6 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific CPU and GPU combination ranks 1222 out of 1693 tested combos for Outriders. This places it in the lower-middle tier of all possible configurations, indicating that while it is far from the weakest setup, it does not represent a high-end pairing for this particular title.

The ranking reflects the GPU's position in the overall hierarchy. The RTX 2060 SUPER holds the 63rd percentile among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19774. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, which scores 19706, a negligible 0.3% difference. Interestingly, the RTX 2070 scores lower at 19680, putting it 0.5% behind the 2060 SUPER in this database's aggregate metrics, though that delta is well within measurement variance.

The CPU side is comparatively stronger. The Ryzen 7 5700 sits in the 84th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27220. Its closest competitor is the Intel Core i9-9900K at 27043, a 0.7% gap, followed by the Intel Core i7-12700H at 27006 (0.8% behind) and the Intel Core i7-1370P at 26991 (0.8% behind). This suggests that the processor has ample headroom and is not the primary constraint in most gaming scenarios, a conclusion supported by the frame rate data at lower resolutions.

The substantial gap between the CPU's high percentile ranking and the combo's low overall rank in Outriders indicates that the graphics card is the limiting factor in this pairing, particularly as resolution and graphical fidelity increase.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured performance data provides a comprehensive view of how this combo handles Outriders across three resolutions and four quality presets. The results are presented as average frames per second (FPS) for each configuration.

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates strong performance across all settings. The Low preset leads with 204.3 FPS, followed by the Medium preset at 148.5 FPS. The High preset achieves 111.3 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 78.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 61.6% performance loss, indicating that the Ultra preset demands significantly more from the GPU.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates decrease substantially. The Low preset remains high at 130 FPS, but the Medium preset falls to 94.2 FPS. The High preset produces 70.5 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to 51.7 FPS. At this resolution, the gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 60.2%, showing similar relative scaling to 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve becomes steep. The Low preset is the only configuration above 60 FPS, hitting 67.8 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 48.8 FPS, the High preset falls to 36.2 FPS, and the Ultra preset bottoms out at 29.6 FPS. The performance loss from Low to Ultra at 4K is 56.3%, which is less severe than at lower resolutions, but the absolute numbers are far too low for a responsive gaming experience.

The data reveals that the Medium preset consistently offers a significant jump over Low (e.g., 148.5 vs 204.3 at 1080p) while maintaining higher frame rates than High. This makes Medium a sweet spot for users who want improved visuals without sacrificing too much performance.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 1440p and then to 4K illustrates the heavy toll that resolution places on this GPU. At the High preset, the average frame rate drops from 111.3 FPS at 1080p to 70.5 FPS at 1440p, a 36.7% reduction. Moving from 1440p to 4K, the frame rate plummets to 36.2 FPS, a further 48.6% loss. Overall, the High preset at 4K delivers only 32.5% of the performance seen at 1080p.

The Low preset shows a similar pattern. At 1080p, it achieves 204.3 FPS, which drops to 130 FPS at 1440p (a 36.4% decrease) and then to 67.8 FPS at 4K (a 47.8% decrease from 1440p). The 4K result is 33.2% of the 1080p performance.

The Medium preset follows the trend: 148.5 FPS at 1080p, 94.2 FPS at 1440p (36.6% reduction), and 48.8 FPS at 4K (48.2% reduction from 1440p). The 4K figure represents 32.9% of the 1080p score.

The Ultra preset is the most demanding, starting at 78.4 FPS at 1080p and falling to 51.7 FPS at 1440p (34.1% reduction). At 4K, it reaches just 29.6 FPS, a 42.7% drop from 1440p and only 37.8% of the 1080p result.

The consistent pattern of roughly a 36% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a further 47-49% reduction from 1440p to 4K across all presets indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The Ryzen 7 5700, with its 84th percentile ranking and 16 threads, is clearly capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions, but the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient to maintain high frame rates as pixel count increases. This scaling behavior is typical of a mid-range GPU pairing with a stronger CPU, confirming that users should target 1080p or 1440p for the best experience with this hardware.
