Revolution Idle

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers a broad range of frame rates in Revolution Idle, from a high of 201 FPS at 1080p Low to a low of 36 FPS at 4K Ultra. This combination of a six-core Zen 4 processor and an Ada Lovelace flagship GPU produces results that are heavily dependent on the chosen resolution and quality preset, making the selection of settings critical to the overall experience.

Settings Recommendations

For this specific combo in Revolution Idle, the measured data indicates that the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience across all tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium produces an average of 178 FPS, which is only 23 FPS lower than the Low preset’s 201 FPS but provides a substantial visual quality upgrade over Low. The Medium preset also shows a minimum FPS of 151 and a maximum of 204 at this resolution, suggesting consistent frame delivery. At 2560x1440, Medium maintains an average of 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 129 FPS, which remains comfortably smooth. Even at 3840x2160, Medium delivers an average of 59 FPS with a minimum of 50 FPS and a maximum of 67 FPS, which is playable for an idle game.

High settings are also viable but come with a noticeable performance cost. At 1080p High, the average drops to 169 FPS, at 1440p High it falls to 107 FPS, and at 4K High it reaches only 56 FPS. The transition from Medium to High at 1440p results in only a 5 FPS difference, from 112 to 107 FPS, but at 4K the drop is more significant, from 59 to 56 FPS. Low settings provide the highest frame rates—201 FPS at 1080p, 148 FPS at 1440p, and 78 FPS at 4K—but the visual compromise is unnecessary given that Medium offers 178, 112, and 59 FPS respectively at the same resolutions.

Ultra is the least favorable preset for this combination. The data shows that Ultra at 1080p yields 108 FPS, at 1440p yields 68 FPS, and at 4K yields just 36 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is particularly low, representing a 39% reduction from the 4K Medium average of 59 FPS. For a game in the idle genre, the extra visual fidelity from Ultra does not justify the steep performance penalty, especially when Medium provides a smoother experience at every resolution. The optimal choice is therefore Medium across all resolutions, with High being a reasonable alternative for users prioritizing visual quality at 1080p or 1440p who can accept the modest frame rate reduction.

The combo’s 277th rank out of 3712 is strong, and the data suggests that this pairing is well-suited to Revolution Idle, delivering frame rates that far exceed the requirements of most displays.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications align with the measured FPS results. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. This large memory capacity and high bandwidth are more than sufficient for Revolution Idle, which is not a demanding title in terms of memory usage. The GPU’s 9728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output pipelines provide substantial compute power, and the 76 ray tracing cores and 304 tensor cores add further capability.

The clock speeds are a base of 2205 MHz and a boost of 2505 MHz, with memory running at 1400 MHz or 22.4 Gbps effective. These clocks are high for the Ada Lovelace architecture, and they contribute to the GPU’s strong performance. The GPU is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC with 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, which is a dense and efficient design. The RTX 4080 achieves a passmark G3D score of 34457 and a passmark GPU compute score of 20671, indicating strong raw throughput. In DirectX 12 benchmarks, it scores 132, in DirectX 11 it scores 314, and in DirectX 10 it scores 204, with a DirectX 9 score of 370.

In Revolution Idle, the GPU’s role is evident in the scaling of FPS with resolution. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 201 FPS, which is likely near the game’s engine limit or the CPU’s ability to feed frames. As resolution increases to 1440p, the frame rate drops to 148 FPS on Low, and at 4K it falls to 78 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU is being utilized more heavily at higher resolutions, but the RTX 4080 still has ample headroom even at 4K. The 16 GB VRAM ensures that no memory-related bottlenecks occur at any settings, and the 716.8 GB/s bandwidth easily handles the data throughput required by the game. The GPU’s 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is more than adequate for an idle game, and the data suggests that the RTX 4080 is not a limiting factor at any tested configuration.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo in Revolution Idle provides a clear picture of performance across 12 different configurations. Starting at 1920x1080, the Low preset yields an average of 201 FPS, while Medium produces 178 FPS with a minimum of 151 and a maximum of 204. High settings at 1080p deliver 169 FPS, and Ultra drops to 108 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a total reduction of 93 FPS, or 46%, demonstrating that the quality presets have a significant impact on performance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset achieves an average of 148 FPS, which is a 26% decrease from the 1080p Low result. Medium at 1440p scores 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 and a maximum of 129, while High reaches 107 FPS and Ultra falls to 68 FPS. The gap between Medium and High at 1440p is only 5 FPS, but the jump from High to Ultra is 39 FPS, showing that Ultra imposes a heavy cost. At 3840x2160, the Low preset manages 78 FPS, which is more than double the Ultra result of 36 FPS. Medium at 4K achieves 59 FPS with a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 67, while High reaches 56 FPS. The 4K results show that even the RTX 4080 cannot maintain high frame rates on Ultra in this game, but it remains playable on lower presets.

The minimum FPS data points are only provided for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 151 FPS, at 1440p Medium it is 95 FPS, and at 4K Medium it is 50 FPS. These minimums are close to the averages, indicating that frame pacing is stable on Medium settings. The maximum FPS values follow a similar pattern, with 204, 129, and 67 FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. The absence of min/max data for other presets does not allow for a full analysis of frame consistency, but the available Medium data suggests that this preset offers the most predictable performance.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and reveals important information about the limiting component in this system. At Low settings, the average FPS decreases from 201 at 1080p to 148 at 1440p and then to 78 at 4K. This represents a 27% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 61% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, with the 1440p to 4K transition being more punishing, indicating that the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

At Medium settings, the averages are 178 FPS at 1080p, 112 FPS at 1440p, and 59 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 37%, and the drop from 1440p to 4K is 47%. This steeper decline at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU’s rendering workload increases disproportionately with pixel count. The RTX 4080, despite its 716.8 GB/s memory bandwidth and 48.74 TFLOPS of compute, cannot maintain the same frame rates at 4K as it does at lower resolutions, which is expected given the 4x pixel count difference between 1080p and 4K.

The High preset shows a similar trend, with 169 FPS at 1080p, 107 FPS at 1440p, and 56 FPS at 4K. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p is 37%, and from 1440p to 4K is 48%. The Ultra preset is the most affected, dropping from 108 FPS at 1080p to 68 FPS at 1440p and then to 36 FPS at 4K. The 1440p to 4K drop on Ultra is 47%, which is consistent with the other presets. The data indicates that the CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is sufficient to feed the GPU at 1080p, but as resolution increases, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s single-core performance, reflected in its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072, is high enough to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 4080 at lower resolutions, but the GPU’s workload at 4K dominates the performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, and built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache, providing a total of 32 MB of L3. It supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 with PCIe Gen 5 connectivity.

In Revolution Idle, the CPU’s role is less pronounced than the GPU’s, given the game’s genre. The measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 201 FPS, which is likely approaching the game’s engine or CPU limit. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 21765, and its single-core score is 3072, indicating strong performance for a 6-core part. The PassMark single-thread score is 3689, and the multi-thread score is 25645. These benchmarks suggest that the CPU can handle the game’s logic and frame generation tasks without becoming a significant bottleneck at 1080p.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the Intel Core i5-14600T with a delta of 0.1%, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with a delta of 0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H with a delta of -0.2%. These nearly identical scores mean that swapping the 7400F for any of these CPUs would have a negligible impact on Revolution Idle’s performance. The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking against all CPUs places it above most processors, and its 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for the game’s single-threaded and lightly threaded workloads.

The data shows that at 1440p and 4K, the CPU is not the limiting factor, as the FPS drops are consistent with GPU-bound scaling. For example, at 1440p Medium, the combo achieves 112 FPS, while at 4K Medium it drops to 59 FPS. This 47% reduction is typical of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU’s 32 MB of L3 cache and DDR5 memory support ensure that data can be fed to the GPU efficiently, and the 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is more than adequate for an idle game. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s performance in this pairing is sufficient, and the bottleneck analysis indicates that users should focus on GPU settings and resolution when adjusting performance in Revolution Idle.
