Outriders

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination ranks 500th out of 1,693 tested combos in Outriders, placing it comfortably in the top third of all configurations. This position reflects a pairing where the RTX 4070’s substantial graphics horsepower does most of the heavy lifting, while the Ryzen 7 5700G provides enough processing headroom to avoid becoming a significant bottleneck at most settings. The combo’s percentile shows it outperforms roughly 70% of all tested systems, which is a strong result for a looter shooter that rewards high, consistent frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The 500th-place finish out of 1,693 combos places this system in the upper echelon of tested configurations for Outriders. This rank is driven by the RTX 4070’s exceptional performance, as the GPU sits in the 81st percentile of all graphics cards. The CPU, meanwhile, ranks in the 83rd percentile among all processors, meaning neither component is a weak link. In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5700G posts an average score of 25,626, placing it within a razor-thin margin of its nearest rivals: it trails the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U by just 0.3%, while edging out the Intel Xeon D-2752TER by 0.4% and the Intel Core 5 210H by 0.5%. The RTX 4070’s average benchmark score of 37,283 puts it slightly behind the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 by 0.6% and the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A by 1.9%, but it leads the AMD Radeon RX 5300M by 2.5%. This data suggests the combo’s in-game ranking is largely GPU-bound, with the CPU providing solid, if not spectacular, support.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain why. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s boost clock reaches 2,475 MHz, with a base clock of 1,920 MHz, and it contains 5,888 shading units alongside 184 texture mapping units and 64 raster operation units. These resources translate to a pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 29.15 TFLOPS. In Outriders, this hardware manifests as a GPU that can handle the game’s particle-heavy combat and dense environments without breaking a sweat. At 1080p, the GPU’s raw power is somewhat underutilized, as frame rates climb well beyond what most displays can show, but at 4K, the RTX 4070’s memory bandwidth and compute capabilities become the deciding factor between playable and choppy performance. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is particularly relevant because Outriders’ texture streaming and effects can consume significant memory at higher resolutions and settings, and this card has ample headroom to avoid stutter-inducing spills into system RAM.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: performance scales predictably with resolution, but the rate of decline tells a story about where the bottleneck lies. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, average FPS drops from 161.4 to 115.4, a decline of 28.5%. Pushing to 4K at High settings further reduces the average to 60.1 FPS, which is a 62.8% drop from 1080p. This steep falloff indicates that the GPU is the primary limiter at higher resolutions, as the CPU’s influence diminishes when the rendering load increases. At Low settings, the pattern is similar but less severe: 203.1 FPS at 1080p drops to 174.1 FPS at 1440p (14.3% decrease) and then to 112.7 FPS at 4K (44.5% decrease from 1080p). The fact that even at 4K Low settings the system maintains over 112 FPS suggests the RTX 4070 has enough headroom that the CPU only becomes a constraint at the lowest settings and highest resolutions where frame rates exceed 200 FPS. At Ultra settings, the GPU is heavily taxed, with 4K dropping to 42.7 FPS, which is a 67.4% reduction from the 131.1 FPS seen at 1080p Ultra. These numbers indicate that for 4K gaming, the RTX 4070 is the clear limiting factor, while at 1080p, the Ryzen 7 5700G’s eight cores and 16 threads are sufficient to keep up with the GPU’s output.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers a wide spread of performance depending on the preset. Low settings yield an average of 203.1 FPS, Medium produces 180.2 FPS, High reaches 161.4 FPS, and Ultra settles at 131.1 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 72 FPS, showing that the GPU scales well with graphical fidelity at this resolution. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 174.1 FPS at Low, 155.7 FPS at Medium, 115.4 FPS at High, and 83.7 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra widens to 90.4 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s workload is becoming more significant at 1440p. At 3840x2160, the averages drop to 112.7 FPS at Low, 78.4 FPS at Medium, 60.1 FPS at High, and 42.7 FPS at Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra is exactly 70 FPS, but the absolute numbers are much lower, with Ultra falling below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. Notably, the 1080p Low result of 203.1 FPS is the highest measured across all configurations, while the 4K Ultra result of 42.7 FPS is the lowest, demonstrating the full performance envelope of this combo. The jump from 1080p High to 1440p High costs 46 FPS, while the jump from 1440p High to 4K High costs 55.3 FPS, showing that the GPU’s rendering load grows disproportionately with each resolution step.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting 4K, the data points to High settings as the sweet spot. The 60.1 FPS average at 4K High is right at the edge of playability, and dropping to Medium yields 78.4 FPS, which offers a more comfortable margin. Ultra at 4K is not viable, as the 42.7 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS target and would result in noticeable stutter during intense firefights. At 1440p, Medium settings at 155.7 FPS provide an excellent balance, but High at 115.4 FPS is still smooth and likely preferable for visual fidelity. The 1440p Ultra result of 83.7 FPS is acceptable, though it sacrifices over 30 FPS compared to High. For 1080p, the system is so fast that even Ultra at 131.1 FPS is well beyond what most monitors can display, making High or Medium the most sensible choices to reduce GPU load and fan noise without sacrificing visible quality. The 1080p Low result of 203.1 FPS is unnecessary for typical 144Hz displays, so players with high-refresh monitors should consider Medium at 180.2 FPS as the optimal blend of smoothness and visual quality. Based on the measured rows, the best overall experience is 1440p High at 115.4 FPS, which combines strong visual detail with frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of most gaming monitors. For 4K users, Medium at 78.4 FPS is the recommended preset, as it maintains fluidity while still leveraging the RTX 4070’s capabilities. The 12 GB of VRAM ensures that even at 4K Medium, there is ample memory for texture streaming, avoiding the hitches that plague lesser cards.
