Minecraft: Java Edition

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Minecraft: Java Edition with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER covers three resolutions and four quality presets. The playable threshold for this database is 60 FPS, and the measurements show a system that scales cleanly with resolution and settings.

At 1920x1080, the lowest preset recorded, Low, delivers an average of 428.2 FPS. Medium follows at 338.4 FPS, High at 272.4 FPS, and the most demanding preset, Ultra, still produces 168.7 FPS. Every setting at this resolution clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin, and the spread between Low and Ultra is roughly 260 FPS, indicating that the CPU and GPU combination has substantial headroom even when all quality options are raised.

At 2560x1440, the averages remain very high. Low reaches 273 FPS, Medium drops to 214.5 FPS, High holds at 170.2 FPS, and Ultra settles at 104.4 FPS. The step from High to Ultra at this resolution costs about 66 FPS, which is the largest single-preset drop in the entire dataset. Even so, no preset falls below the 60 FPS mark, so the system maintains fluid performance across the board.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes more noticeably. Low averages 140.3 FPS, Medium 113.9 FPS, and High 88 FPS. Ultra, however, drops to 56.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the only combination of resolution and preset in the measured data that fails to reach the target. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is about 32 FPS, a larger relative penalty than what appears at lower resolutions.

Min and max FPS values were not recorded for any of these runs, so the analysis relies on average FPS only. The data still gives a clear picture: this platform is extremely capable at 1080p and 1440p, very strong at 4K on High and below, but not quite sufficient for 4K Ultra in Minecraft: Java Edition.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the database identifies the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is High, with an average of 88 FPS. Medium and Low also clear the threshold, but High is the highest quality option that remains playable. Ultra misses the mark at 56.1 FPS, so it is not recommended at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is Ultra, with an average of 104.4 FPS. All four presets are playable here, and Ultra offers the maximum visual quality while still holding well above the 60 FPS target.

At 1920x1080, the best playable setting is also Ultra, with an average of 168.7 FPS. The system has enough performance at this resolution to run the highest preset without any concern about dropping below the playable threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1052 out of 1727 tested combos in the database for Minecraft: Java Edition. That places it in the upper portion of the distribution, though not near the top. Given the very high FPS numbers recorded at 1080p and 1440p, the rank reflects the sheer number of more powerful combinations that have been tested, rather than any deficiency in playability.

The CPU alone sits in the 74th percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20733. The GPU sits in the 65th percentile among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20282. These percentile positions indicate that both components are above the median, and the game’s measured performance is consistent with that standing.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database’s nearest rival data for the CPU and GPU provides context for what other hardware would behave similarly in this combination.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT, the closest matches by average benchmark score are the Intel Core i5-12490F, the Intel Xeon 6325P, the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, and the AMD EPYC 7J13. The Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20802, which is 0.3% lower than the Ryzen 5 5600GT. The Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20821, also 0.4% lower. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125U scores 20826, 0.4% lower. The AMD EPYC 7J13 scores 20845, 0.5% lower. All four rivals are within half a percent of the Ryzen 5 5600GT’s average score, so any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Minecraft: Java Edition.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, the Intel Arc B570, and the Intel Arc A750. The Quadro M4000M scores 20480, which is 1% lower than the RTX 2070 SUPER. The RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 1.2% lower. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, 1.3% lower. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 1.5% lower. These deltas are small, so swapping the GPU for any of these alternatives would produce comparable frame rates in the same game, assuming the rest of the system stays unchanged.

None of these rival specifications, such as core counts, clock speeds, or memory sizes, are used in this comparison. The ranking is based purely on average benchmark scores and the recorded deltas.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER can run Minecraft: Java Edition across all tested resolutions, but the maximum quality preset depends on the resolution.

At 1920x1080, every preset is playable, and Ultra averages 168.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, every preset is also playable, with Ultra averaging 104.4 FPS. At 3840x2160, High is the best playable setting at 88 FPS, while Low and Medium also clear the threshold. Ultra at 4K is the only failure point, averaging 56.1 FPS, just 3.9 FPS short of the playable target.

For users with a 1080p or 1440p display, this system delivers excellent performance with no compromises. For 4K users, the recommendation is to use High settings, which still provide a smooth experience, and avoid Ultra unless the frame rate target is relaxed below 60 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts as resolution and settings change in Minecraft: Java Edition.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high across all presets, with Low at 428.2 FPS and Ultra at 168.7 FPS. The large gap between presets at the same resolution suggests that the graphics settings, and therefore the GPU workload, are the primary lever on performance. However, the absolute numbers are so high that neither component appears to be a limiting factor at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues. Low averages 273 FPS, Medium 214.5 FPS, High 170.2 FPS, and Ultra 104.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is roughly 62% of the Low value, which points to a growing GPU influence as pixel count increases, though the CPU still has enough headroom to feed the GPU at these levels.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. Low drops to 140.3 FPS, Medium to 113.9 FPS, High to 88 FPS, and Ultra to 56.1 FPS. The step from High to Ultra at 4K costs about 32 FPS, the largest single-preset penalty in the dataset. This indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the limiting factor at 4K, particularly under the most demanding settings. The CPU, meanwhile, still has ample capacity, as evidenced by the high frame rates at lower resolutions.

In summary, the CPU matters most at lower resolutions where frame rates are extremely high, but the GPU takes over as the decisive component at 4K, especially on Ultra. The Ryzen 5 5600GT provides enough single-thread and multi-thread performance for this game, while the RTX 2070 SUPER determines whether the highest quality settings are achievable at higher pixel counts.
