Outriders

The data for Outriders with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 reveals a configuration that is heavily influenced by graphics settings and resolution, with the CPU proving surprisingly capable at higher frame rates. The measured FPS values show a clear pattern of scaling that shifts the bottleneck between the processor and the graphics card as workload changes.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K produces a dramatic and consistent drop in average frame rates across all settings, indicating that the rendering load scales steeply with pixel count. At Ultra settings, the average FPS falls from 108.3 at 1920x1080 to 71.4 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 36.9 FPS, and then further down to 38.4 at 3840x2160. This represents a 64.5% decrease in performance from 1080p to 4K at Ultra, demonstrating that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The scaling pattern is similar at High settings, where the average drops from 153.8 at 1080p to 96.2 at 1440p, and then to 49.1 at 4K, showing a 68.1% reduction across the full range.

The data suggests that at 1080p and lower settings, the system is likely CPU-bound or hitting a performance ceiling elsewhere, as the FPS differences between Low and Medium settings are relatively modest. At 1920x1080 Low, the average is 200.5 FPS, while at Medium it is 178.1 FPS, a difference of just 22.4 FPS. However, at 4K, the gap between Low and Medium widens significantly: 89.1 FPS versus 63.8 FPS, a 25.3 FPS difference. This widening gap at higher resolutions confirms that the GPU becomes the dominant constraint as the pixel count increases, and the CPU’s ability to feed frames becomes less relevant.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755 and a Geekbench multicore score of 8970. Single-thread performance is also respectable, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2930 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3283.

In the context of Outriders, the CPU’s capabilities are most evident at 1080p with lower graphics settings, where the system achieves an average of 200.5 FPS on Low settings. This high frame rate suggests that the processor is capable of handling the game’s logic and draw calls without becoming a bottleneck at this resolution. The data indicates that the CPU can sustain frame rates well above 150 FPS at 1080p High, which is a demanding scenario for many processors. The 16 threads likely help with the game’s background tasks and asset streaming, allowing the GPU to work without waiting for the CPU.

The Ryzen 7 5700G’s performance relative to other CPUs is solid, as it ranks in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs tested. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which scores a 0.3% higher average benchmark score, and the Intel Xeon D-2752TER, which scores 0.4% lower. This places the 5700G in a competitive position, though its integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics are not relevant for this discrete GPU configuration.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is built on the Ampere architecture and features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its boost clock is 1725 MHz, and it has 5888 shading units. The GPU’s raw compute capability is 20.31 TFLOPS for FP32 operations, which is substantial for a card of this class.

The GPU’s role in Outriders becomes increasingly important as resolution and settings increase. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 38.4, which is below the 60 FPS threshold commonly desired for smooth gameplay. This indicates that the RTX 3070’s 8 GB of VRAM and memory bandwidth are being taxed heavily at this configuration. The drop from 4K High (49.1 FPS) to 4K Ultra (38.4 FPS) is 10.7 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset adds a significant load that the GPU struggles to handle.

The RTX 3070’s performance relative to other GPUs is moderate, ranking in the 72nd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD FirePro S7150, which scores 0.6% higher on average, and the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, which scores 0.9% lower. This suggests that while the RTX 3070 is a capable card, it is not at the top of the performance hierarchy, and its limitations are exposed at 4K with high settings in this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers high frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 200.5 FPS, Medium yields 178.1 FPS, High achieves 153.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 108.3 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 92.2 FPS, indicating that the graphics settings have a substantial impact on performance, but even at Ultra the frame rate remains well above 100 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 174.4 FPS at Low, 126.6 FPS at Medium, 96.2 FPS at High, and 71.4 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra widens to 103 FPS, showing that the GPU is beginning to feel the pressure of the higher resolution. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra is 36.9 FPS, which is a significant reduction but still leaves the system playable at over 70 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops considerably. Low settings produce an average of 89.1 FPS, Medium achieves 63.8 FPS, High drops to 49.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 38.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 50.7 FPS, and the system struggles to maintain 60 FPS at Medium settings or higher. The data clearly shows that 4K is only viable with Low settings for a smooth experience, and even then, the frame rate is not exceptionally high.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination ranks 723rd out of 1693 tested combos in Outriders, placing it in the 42.7th percentile of all configurations. This mid-pack ranking reflects the system’s balanced but not exceptional performance. The rank is likely influenced by the GPU’s limitations at 4K, where the average FPS at Ultra is below 40, and the CPU’s inability to push frame rates much higher than 200 FPS at 1080p Low.

Compared to other combos, this configuration sits in a competitive but not dominant position. The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking and the GPU’s 72nd percentile ranking suggest that neither component is a standout performer in their respective categories. The combo’s overall rank indicates that many other pairings can achieve higher frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The data shows that this system is best suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming, where it can deliver high frame rates at most settings, but it falls short of being a top-tier 4K performer.
