Outriders

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER lands at rank 301 out of 1693 tested combinations in Outriders. This places the combo in the top 18 percent of all systems benchmarked, a strong showing for a 1080p and 1440p-focused pairing. The CPU sits in the 86th percentile against all processors, while the GPU ranks in the 84th percentile against all graphics cards, confirming a balanced platform where neither component dramatically outclasses the other in synthetic workloads.

Against its nearest CPU rivals, the 5800XT is effectively tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE, posting an average benchmark score of 29774 versus 29740, a delta of just 0.1 percent. It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS by 0.3 percent (29856) and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H by the same margin (29868), while edging out the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 by 0.3 percent (29682). These are negligible differences, meaning the CPU is not a differentiator in this game. The GPU tells a similar story: the RTX 4070 SUPER averages 42576, sitting just 0.2 percent below the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (42653) and 0.3 percent below the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (42723). It beats the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 1.4 percent and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 1.6 percent. In Outriders, the measured frame rates will be dictated almost entirely by the GPU and the selected settings, not by CPU headroom.

How This Combo Ranks

Outriders is not a demanding title by modern standards, and this combo exploits that fact effectively. At rank 301 of 1693, the system sits well above the median, but it is not in the top tier of configurations. The data shows a clear pattern: the RTX 4070 SUPER provides ample rasterization throughput, and the 5800XT’s eight Zen 3 cores never appear to bottleneck the frame delivery. The CPU’s multithreaded score of 23794 in Cinebench R23 and single-thread score of 3359 are more than sufficient for a game that relies on Unreal Engine’s typical thread distribution. The 16 threads available from the 5800XT ensure that background tasks and game logic do not interfere with frame pacing.

The ranking reflects a system that is overqualified for 1080p but begins to show its limits at 4K Ultra. The gap between this combo and higher-ranked systems likely stems from GPUs with more memory bandwidth or additional VRAM, rather than CPU differences. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB of GDDR6X and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are competitive, but at 4K Ultra, the 48.5 FPS average suggests the GPU is the primary constraint. The percentile ranks for both components are nearly identical, which explains why the combo rank is respectable but not elite. In simpler terms, this is a high-midrange pairing that punches above its weight in Outriders, but it does not challenge the top 100 combinations that likely feature higher-tier GPUs.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear hierarchy for settings at each resolution. For 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 149.6 FPS average, which is already well above the 60 FPS threshold and suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors. However, the Low preset reaches 220.1 FPS, a 47 percent improvement over Ultra, which could matter for competitive play. The Medium preset at 194.3 FPS and High at 175 FPS offer diminishing returns, so the recommendation depends on whether visual fidelity or raw frame rate takes priority. At 1440p, the scales tip: Ultra drops to 91.6 FPS, still playable but no longer headroom-heavy. High at 130 FPS and Medium at 166.7 FPS are the sweet spots, with Low at 184.5 FPS providing the maximum competitive edge.

The 4K results are the most instructive. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 48.5 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay. Dropping to High raises this to 64.7 FPS, a 33 percent increase that crosses the playability threshold. Medium at 92.2 FPS and Low at 123 FPS are both excellent, but they require significant visual sacrifices. The data suggests that the best experience for most users is the High preset at 1440p, which balances the 130 FPS average with acceptable visual quality. For 4K users, High is the only preset that maintains a playable frame rate without dropping to Medium, and even then, the 64.7 FPS average leaves little margin for demanding scenes. Ultimately, the High preset is the recommended baseline across all resolutions, with Ultra reserved for 1080p displays where the 149.6 FPS average still provides a comfortable cushion.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a GPU-bound scenario, as expected for a looter shooter with modest CPU requirements. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 175 at 1080p to 130 at 1440p, a 26 percent reduction, and then to 64.7 at 4K, a further 50 percent reduction. This steep decline at 4K indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s memory bandwidth and shading units are the limiting factors. The 192-bit memory bus and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1440p, but 4K demands more data throughput, and the card cannot maintain the same efficiency.

The Low preset shows a similar pattern: 220.1 FPS at 1080p, 184.5 FPS at 1440p, and 123 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low result is still higher than the 1080p Ultra result, which highlights how much headroom exists at lower settings. The scaling factor from 1080p to 4K at Low is a 44 percent drop, while at Ultra it is a 68 percent drop (from 149.6 to 48.5 FPS). This widening gap at higher settings confirms that pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth become bottlenecks as resolution increases. The CPU’s role is minimal here; the 5800XT’s performance does not degrade with resolution, so the FPS drops are almost entirely attributable to the GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the RTX 4070 SUPER delivers exceptional performance across all presets. The Low preset averages 220.1 FPS, making it the fastest configuration measured. Medium follows at 194.3 FPS, High at 175 FPS, and Ultra at 149.6 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 70.5 FPS, which is substantial but not unexpected for a game that scales well with settings. For users with 144 Hz monitors, any preset except Ultra will comfortably exceed the refresh rate, and even Ultra provides enough headroom to avoid dips below 60 FPS.

At 1440p, the results are still strong but show more variation. Low averages 184.5 FPS, Medium 166.7 FPS, High 130 FPS, and Ultra 91.6 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra is a 30 percent drop, making Ultra the first preset where the system requires a compromise. The 91.6 FPS Ultra average is still playable, but it lacks the margin for consistent 144 Hz operation. The High preset at 130 FPS is the best balance of visual quality and performance at this resolution.

The 4K results are where the combo struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low averages 123 FPS, which is respectable, but Medium drops to 92.2 FPS, High to 64.7 FPS, and Ultra to 48.5 FPS. The Ultra result is the only one below 60 FPS, but the High result at 64.7 FPS is marginal. The data suggests that 4K gaming with this combo is viable only at Low or Medium settings, with High being a borderline option for users who prioritize visuals over frame rate stability.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER is the defining component in this combo, and its specifications explain the measured results. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock is 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, and the memory runs at 1313 MHz, effective 21 Gbps. These clocks are moderate for the 40-series, but the 7168 shading units and 224 texture mapping units provide substantial rasterization throughput. The card’s FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS is more than adequate for a game like Outriders, which does not rely heavily on ray tracing or advanced compute effects.

The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K Ultra, the 48.5 FPS average suggests the card is pushing against its memory bandwidth limits. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth is the likely constraint, as the 192-bit bus is narrower than higher-tier cards. The GPU’s percentile rank of 84 places it just below the RTX A6000 and RX 7650 GRE, but its real-world performance in Outriders is strong, as evidenced by the 130 FPS average at 1440p High. The card’s 56 ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores are not heavily utilized in this game, so the traditional rasterization pipeline dominates. The boost clock of 2475 MHz is well-maintained under load, and the data shows no signs of thermal throttling, though the 220 W TDP requires a capable air cooler. For Outriders, the RTX 4070 SUPER is the star of the show, and the CPU simply stays out of the way.
