Outriders

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 produces a wide performance envelope in Outriders, but the scaling patterns reveal a system that is heavily influenced by both resolution and graphics settings. The RTX 5070, with its 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, drives the majority of the frame rate variance, while the 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 5700G provides a stable foundation that becomes more relevant at lower resolutions. This combination lands at rank 433 out of 1693 tested combos, placing it in the upper quartile of systems for this title.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K demonstrates a classic GPU-bound scaling curve, but the severity of the drop is modulated by the selected quality preset. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 164.2 FPS at 1920x1080 to 127.7 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 22.2%, and then to 63.1 FPS at 3840x2160, which represents a 50.6% drop from the 1080p figure. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component as pixel count increases, with the RTX 5070's 672.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth being taxed heavily at 4K.

The scaling becomes even more pronounced at Ultra settings, where the frame rate drops from 143.9 FPS at 1080p to 90.1 FPS at 1440p (a 37.4% decrease) and then to 44.7 FPS at 4K, which is a 68.9% reduction from the 1080p result. This steep decline at Ultra suggests that the higher preset introduces effects that disproportionately impact the GPU's shading units and ROPs. Conversely, at Low settings, the scaling is much flatter: 200.1 FPS at 1080p, 174.5 FPS at 1440p, and 121.1 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low result is still 60.5% of the 1080p Low figure, indicating that when the GPU is less burdened, the CPU begins to exert more influence on the upper frame rate ceiling.

The data shows that the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference is 56.2 FPS (200.1 vs 143.9), but at 4K, the gap grows to 76.4 FPS (121.1 vs 44.7). This suggests that the RTX 5070's 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is sufficient at lower resolutions, but the additional pixel workload at 4K exposes the limitations of its 192-bit memory interface.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700G is a Zen 3-based processor built on TSMC's 7 nm process, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its 16 MB of L3 cache is modest for a modern gaming CPU, but the architecture's single-thread performance is solid, as evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2930. In Outriders, a title that benefits from multiple threads for enemy AI and physics, the 16 threads provide adequate headroom.

At 1080p Low, the system achieves 200.1 FPS, which is the highest measured result across all configurations. This figure suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough draw calls to sustain very high frame rates, but the 3DMark max threads score of 6627 indicates that the processor's multi-threaded throughput is not exceptional. The CPU's percentile ranking of 83 versus all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25626, places it slightly above the midpoint of tested processors, but its nearest rivals show narrow margins: the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U is 0.3% slower, while the Intel Xeon D-2752TER is 0.4% faster.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s via dual-channel DDR4 could be a factor at high frame rates, particularly when the GPU is waiting for data. However, the fact that the 1080p Low result is 200.1 FPS, compared to 183.1 FPS at Medium, suggests that the CPU is not the bottleneck in most scenarios. The boost clock of 4.60 GHz is adequate for maintaining consistent frame pacing, and the lack of a significant frame rate drop between Low and Medium at 1080p (a 8.5% decrease) points to the GPU handling the increased shading load without CPU intervention becoming critical.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications dictate the performance envelope across all measured configurations. With a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz, the GPU sustains high clock speeds under load. The 12 GB of GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps effective provides 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for a 192-bit bus. The 6144 shading units and 48 RT cores are well-suited for Outriders' DirectX 12 rendering path.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 83 versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 41687, places it in the upper tier of graphics cards. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which is 0.6% faster in aggregate benchmarks, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300, which is 0.2% slower. This positioning suggests that the RTX 5070 offers compute performance comparable to a previous-generation flagship, despite its smaller 263 mm² die size.

In Outriders, the GPU's behavior is most evident in the 4K Ultra result of 44.7 FPS. This figure is below the 60 FPS threshold commonly targeted for smooth gameplay, and it represents the only measured configuration that falls short of playable frame rates. The 4K High result of 63.1 FPS is marginally above this threshold, while 4K Medium at 87.5 FPS provides a comfortable margin. The GPU's texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s are sufficient for 1440p gaming, where the system achieves 127.7 FPS at High and 151.5 FPS at Medium.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 200.1 FPS, Medium yields 183.1 FPS, High reaches 164.2 FPS, and Ultra settles at 143.9 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 56.2 FPS, which represents a 28.1% reduction in performance when moving to the highest preset. This indicates that the GPU has ample headroom at 1080p, and the CPU's 8 cores are sufficient to keep the frame pipeline full.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show a clear step down. Low settings deliver 174.5 FPS, Medium achieves 151.5 FPS, High reaches 127.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 90.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is notable because it crosses below the 100 FPS mark, which is often considered the threshold for high-refresh-rate displays. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 84.4 FPS, a 48.4% reduction, showing that the GPU's workload increases significantly with the higher resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance scales down further. Low settings still manage 121.1 FPS, which is playable, but Medium drops to 87.5 FPS, High to 63.1 FPS, and Ultra to 44.7 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration that falls below 60 FPS, and it is 77.7% slower than the 1080p Low result. The data shows a clear pattern: the RTX 5070 is capable of 4K gaming at lower presets, but Ultra settings require a reduction in resolution or a reliance on upscaling techniques to maintain smooth frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 achieves a rank of 433 out of 1693 tested combos in Outriders. This places the system in the 74th percentile of all combinations, meaning it outperforms roughly three-quarters of the tested configurations. The ranking reflects the balance between the CPU's moderate multi-threaded performance and the GPU's strong compute capabilities.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 25626 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, which is slightly higher than its in-game rank might suggest. This discrepancy indicates that Outriders is more sensitive to GPU performance than to CPU throughput. The GPU's average benchmark score of 41687, also in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, aligns more closely with the overall combo ranking. The nearest GPU rivals include the RTX 3090, which is 0.6% faster in aggregate benchmarks, and the Tesla M40, which is 0.5% slower, but these differences do not translate directly to in-game performance.

The rank of 433 suggests that while the RTX 5070 is a strong GPU, the Ryzen 7 5700G may be holding back the system in CPU-bound scenarios, particularly at 1080p with lower settings. The CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 6629 is modest compared to higher-end desktop processors, and its nearest CPU rivals, such as the Intel Core 5 210H with a 0.5% higher average score, are primarily mobile or workstation parts. In Outriders, the combination performs admirably at 1440p and 4K, where the GPU is the primary driver, but the 1080p results are likely limited by the CPU's single-thread and multi-thread performance. Overall, this combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming and can handle 4K at medium settings, but it falls short of the top-tier combinations that rank in the top 100.
