Outriders

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers a robust Outriders experience, with the benchmark data indicating a strong balance between CPU and GPU capabilities across the tested resolutions. This combination ranks 362nd out of 1693 tested combos in the game, placing it in the upper quartile of performance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear progression of performance scaling as resolution increases, with the most significant drops occurring at 4K. At 1080p, the combo achieves 213.7 FPS on Low settings, which falls to 182.1 FPS at 1440p and further to 117.7 FPS at 4K — a reduction of 96 FPS from 1080p to 4K on Low settings. The scaling pattern suggests the CPU is the limiting factor at lower resolutions, while the GPU becomes the primary constraint at 4K.

The High settings preset shows the most dramatic resolution scaling, with 170.5 FPS at 1080p dropping to 127.4 FPS at 1440p and then to 66.3 FPS at 4K. This represents a 61.1% performance loss from 1080p to 4K at High settings. The Ultra preset follows a similar but less severe trajectory, moving from 142.7 FPS at 1080p to 91 FPS at 1440p and finally to 47.5 FPS at 4K.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the Ryzen 7 5800X's 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a 4.70 GHz boost clock is sufficient to keep the RTX 5070 well-fed, as evidenced by the high frame rates across all settings. However, the 4K results show the GPU's memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s and 12 GB GDDR7 becoming more critical, with the frame rate dropping below 60 FPS on Ultra settings. The 47.5 FPS at 4K Ultra represents the largest performance gap between settings at any resolution, suggesting the GPU's 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 compute is the bottleneck when pushing maximum detail at 2160p.

How This Combo Ranks

The 362nd rank out of 1693 combos places this pairing in the 78.6th percentile of all tested configurations, indicating strong overall performance for Outriders. The CPU alone holds the 84th percentile against all processors, while the GPU sits at the 83rd percentile against all graphics cards, showing both components perform near the top of their respective categories.

The Ryzen 7 5800X benchmarks show it sits within a tight cluster of rivals, with a 0.3% advantage over the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (27535 average score vs 27606) and a 0.4% deficit to the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE and Intel Core i7-13700H (27708 and 27716 respectively). The Intel Core i5-12600KF trails by 0.8% with a score of 27827, demonstrating that the 5800X's Zen 3 architecture remains competitive among similarly priced processors.

For the RTX 5070, the nearest rival comparisons show it outperforms the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 by 0.6% (41687 vs 41441 average score) and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 by 0.2% (41687 vs 41610). However, it trails the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 0.5% and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 0.7%, indicating the GPU's performance is tightly grouped with these alternatives despite being a newer Blackwell architecture part.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data suggests that High settings at 1440p provides the optimal balance for this combo, delivering 127.4 FPS with a significant margin above the 60 FPS threshold. This configuration allows the RTX 5070 to operate in its efficiency sweet spot while maintaining the visual fidelity of the High preset.

For competitive play at 1080p, Low settings at 213.7 FPS is the clear choice, offering the highest frame rate of any measured configuration. The Medium preset at 191.5 FPS provides a strong alternative for players wanting better visuals without sacrificing too much speed. At 1440p, Medium settings at 160.7 FPS delivers an excellent experience for high-refresh-rate monitors, while Ultra at 91 FPS remains viable for those prioritizing image quality.

At 4K, the data shows that High settings at 66.3 FPS is the realistic maximum for smooth gameplay, though players with adaptive sync displays may find Ultra at 47.5 FPS acceptable for slower-paced encounters. The Low preset at 117.7 FPS at 4K shows the GPU is capable of high frame rates even at 2160p when graphical effects are minimized, but the visual compromise may not be worth it for most users.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 213.7 FPS on Low, 191.5 FPS on Medium, 170.5 FPS on High, and 142.7 FPS on Ultra. The progression from Low to Ultra represents a 33.2% reduction in frame rate, with each settings tier costing approximately 20-30 FPS. The 1080p results show the CPU's 32 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support are sufficient to keep frame rates well above the refresh rate of most monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the measured values are 182.1 FPS on Low, 160.7 FPS on Medium, 127.4 FPS on High, and 91 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 50.0% at this resolution, indicating the GPU is becoming more influential in determining performance. The 1440p results maintain high frame rates across all settings, with even Ultra exceeding the 90 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the data shows 117.7 FPS on Low, 88.9 FPS on Medium, 66.3 FPS on High, and 47.5 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results reveal a wider spread between settings, with Low outperforming Ultra by 147.8%. The 4K Ultra figure of 47.5 FPS is the only measured configuration that falls below the 60 FPS standard, highlighting the GPU's limitations at maximum detail and resolution.
