Minecraft: Java Edition

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Minecraft: Java Edition across all tested resolutions and settings. The recorded data shows that this combination never drops below 98.4 FPS on average, even at the most demanding 4K Ultra preset, indicating that the system has substantial performance headroom for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for this combo show a clear progression of performance based on resolution and graphical preset. At 1920x1080, the system produces some of its highest frame rates. With the Low preset, the average FPS reaches 498.9, which is a very high figure. Increasing the settings to Medium yields an average of 459.9 FPS, while the High preset produces 423.7 FPS on average. The most demanding 1080p setting, Ultra, still maintains an average of 296 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any high-refresh-rate display.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally strong. The Low preset averages 426.4 FPS, dropping slightly to 374.8 FPS on Medium. The High preset at this resolution records an average of 297.9 FPS. At the Ultra preset, the system still delivers an average of 187.2 FPS, which is more than four times the playable threshold of 60 FPS.

At the highest tested resolution, 3840x2160, the frame rates are still very high. The Low preset averages 246.6 FPS, while Medium produces 196.1 FPS. The High preset averages 154.5 FPS. Even at the Ultra preset, which is the most demanding configuration tested, the system maintains an average of 98.4 FPS. This means the combo can handle 4K gaming with all settings maxed out without any concern for playability.

The scaling between presets is consistent across resolutions. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is roughly 203 FPS, while at 1440p the gap is about 239 FPS. At 4K, the difference between the lowest and highest presets is approximately 148 FPS. These numbers indicate that the GPU has significant headroom even at the highest settings.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this specific CPU and GPU pairing holds a strong position. The combo rank in game is 360 out of 1727 tested combinations, placing it in the top 20.8 percent of all systems tested. This ranking is based on the aggregate performance across all measured resolutions and settings.

The percentile data for the individual components confirms this positioning. The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G sits at the 71st percentile when compared to all CPUs in the database. This means it outperforms roughly 71 percent of processors tested. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is at the 76th percentile among all GPUs, indicating it outperforms about 76 percent of graphics cards in the database.

The average benchmark score for the CPU is 17507, while the GPU averages 31087. These scores are used to place the components in the overall hierarchy. The high GPU score relative to the CPU score suggests that the graphics card is the dominant factor in most gaming scenarios, particularly at higher resolutions where the rendering load increases.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution tested, the database identifies the most demanding preset that remains at or above the playable threshold of 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is fully playable, with an average FPS of 296. This is the highest quality setting available, and the system comfortably exceeds the threshold by a wide margin.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also remains the best choice. The average FPS at this setting is 187.2, which is more than three times the playable threshold. This indicates that users can max out all graphical options at 1440p without any performance concerns.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is again the best setting. The recorded average FPS is 98.4, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold. This result is notable because it shows that the system can handle 4K Ultra settings in this game, a feat that many other combinations cannot achieve. The data shows that every preset at every resolution is playable, with the lowest recorded average being 98.4 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU nearest rivals in the database provide a sense of what other processors would behave similarly in this configuration. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average score of 17482, which is 0.1 percent different from the Ryzen 5 4600G. This means the two CPUs are essentially equivalent in overall benchmark performance, and swapping between them would produce nearly identical frame rates.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, which is 0.6 percent higher than the 4600G. This slight advantage would be difficult to notice in real-world gaming. The Intel Core 7 150U has an average score of 17395, which is 0.6 percent lower, again a negligible difference. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, which is 0.8 percent higher than the 4600G. These four CPUs are all within a very tight band of performance, meaning any of them would deliver similar results in Minecraft: Java Edition.

On the GPU side, the nearest rivals show a similar pattern. The NVIDIA Quadro M5000 has an average score of 31206, which is 0.4 percent higher than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q scores 31220, also 0.4 percent higher. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell scores 31532, which is 1.4 percent higher, while the NVIDIA TITAN RTX scores 31676, which is 1.9 percent higher. All of these GPUs are within a small margin of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, so users with any of these cards would see very similar frame rates in this game.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU at different resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high, suggesting that the CPU is the primary limiter. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is approximately 203 FPS, which shows that the GPU has enough power to handle even the most demanding settings without bottlenecking.

At 2560x1440, the performance gap between presets widens slightly. The difference between Low and Ultra is about 239 FPS, indicating that the GPU is beginning to take on more of the workload. The absolute frame rates are still very high, with even the Ultra preset exceeding 187 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The difference between Low and Ultra is approximately 148 FPS, but the absolute numbers are lower than at lower resolutions. This is expected, as the rendering load at 4K is significantly higher, and the GPU must work harder to produce frames. The CPU has less influence at this resolution because the frame rates are lower, giving the processor more time to prepare each frame.

The scaling between resolutions for the same preset illustrates this shift. For example, the Ultra preset at 1080p averages 296 FPS, dropping to 187.2 FPS at 1440p and 98.4 FPS at 4K. This represents a 58.3 percent reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 47.4 percent reduction from 1440p to 4K. The larger drop from 1080p to 1440p suggests that the GPU is working harder at this resolution, while the smaller drop from 1440p to 4K indicates that the GPU is still capable of substantial scaling.

The CPU benchmarks provide additional context. The Ryzen 5 4600G scores 13593 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1919 in single-core. These scores indicate a capable processor for gaming, but one that is not the top performer. In a game like Minecraft: Java Edition, which can be CPU-intensive in certain scenarios, the processor's single-thread performance is important. The single-core score of 1919 is reasonable, but it is not exceptional, which explains why the frame rates at 1080p are not even higher.
