Minecraft: Java Edition

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER in Minecraft: Java Edition shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional frame rates across the board. The Low preset reaches an average of 298.4 FPS, Medium climbs to 237 FPS, High maintains 191 FPS, and even the demanding Ultra preset holds 119.5 FPS. These figures indicate that at 1080p, the combo has substantial headroom above the 60 FPS playability threshold, with the Ultra preset still delivering nearly double the required frame rate.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but the scaling shows expected pressure. The Low preset produces 190.3 FPS, Medium drops to 149.1 FPS, High settles at 118.1 FPS, and Ultra manages 71.7 FPS. The gap between Medium and High at this resolution is 31 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs 46.4 FPS, demonstrating that the Ultra preset imposes a significant load increase. All four settings clear 60 FPS at 1440p, with Ultra being the only one that falls below the 100 FPS mark.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes notably. The Low preset still delivers a smooth 98.5 FPS, Medium drops to 79.5 FPS, and High holds on at 64.3 FPS. However, the Ultra preset falls to 39.5 FPS, which is below the playability threshold. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 59 FPS, a considerable reduction that reflects the GPU's memory bandwidth and shading capabilities being pushed to their limits at this resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this specific combination at rank 1517 out of 1727 tested combos for Minecraft: Java Edition. This position in the lower 12th percentile of all tested configurations indicates that while the combo performs adequately for the game, it does not compete with higher-end setups. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F processor holds a 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24964. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11850H at 24935 (0.1% behind), the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F at 25005 (0.2% ahead), the Intel Core i7-13620H at 24911 (0.2% behind), and the Intel Core 5 210H at 24872 (0.4% behind). The CPU's single-thread performance, reflected in a PassMark single-thread score of 3841, is particularly relevant for Minecraft: Java Edition, which relies heavily on single-core processing.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER ranks at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 12986. Its closest competitors are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile at 12940 (0.4% behind), the AMD Radeon RX 580 at 12928 (0.4% behind), the NVIDIA Tesla M2090 at 13075 (0.7% ahead), and the AMD Radeon 740M at 12870 (0.9% behind). This GPU position suggests the graphics card is a mid-range performer, which aligns with the measured FPS results showing strong 1080p and 1440p performance but limitations at 4K Ultra.

Best Settings per Resolution

The verdict data indicates the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves 119.5 FPS, so it is the best playable setting. At 2560x1440, Ultra also remains viable with 71.7 FPS, making it the optimal choice. The situation differs at 3840x2160, where Ultra drops to 39.5 FPS and fails the 60 FPS threshold. The best playable setting at 4K is High, which delivers 64.3 FPS, just above the playable mark. The data shows that High at 4K is a marginal pass, while Medium at 79.5 FPS offers more comfortable headroom for users who prioritize smoothness over maximum visual quality.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Minecraft: Java Edition at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, but only up to High settings. The High preset at 3840x2160 delivers 64.3 FPS average, while the Ultra preset falls to 39.5 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playability threshold. Low and Medium settings also clear 60 FPS with 98.5 and 79.5 FPS respectively.

Q: What is the best quality preset for 1080p gaming with this combo?

A: The Ultra preset at 1920x1080 achieves 119.5 FPS, so it is the most demanding setting that stays at or above 60 FPS. This provides both high visual quality and a frame rate well above the playable threshold.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F has an average benchmark score of 24964. It is 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-11850H, 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13620H, 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core 5 210H, and 0.2% behind the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 12986. It is 0.4% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile, 0.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 580, 0.9% ahead of the AMD Radeon 740M, and 0.7% behind the NVIDIA Tesla M2090.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1440p with Ultra settings?

A: The Ultra preset at 2560x1440 delivers 71.7 FPS average, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. This is the most demanding setting that remains playable at this resolution.

Q: Is the Ultra preset ever unplayable with this hardware?

A: Yes, at 3840x2160 the Ultra preset drops to 39.5 FPS, failing the 60 FPS requirement. At both 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, Ultra remains playable with 119.5 and 71.7 FPS respectively.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling across resolutions reveals how the CPU and GPU divide responsibilities in Minecraft: Java Edition. At 1920x1080, the CPU's single-thread strength, evidenced by its PassMark single-thread score of 3841 and 3DMark single-thread score of 974, drives the high frame rates. The jump from Low at 298.4 FPS to Ultra at 119.5 FPS shows a 60% reduction, indicating that the GPU begins to matter more as settings increase, but the CPU still has enough headroom to feed the GPU at these frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts. The Low preset drops to 190.3 FPS, a 36% reduction from 1080p Low, while Ultra falls to 71.7 FPS, a 40% reduction from 1080p Ultra. This uniform scaling across settings suggests the GPU is becoming the limiting factor, as the pixel count increases by 78% from 1080p to 1440p. The CPU's 12 threads and 32 MB of L3 cache still handle the game logic effectively, but the GTX 1660 SUPER's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth start to constrain output.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role dominates completely. The pixel count quadruples from 1080p, and the frame rates reflect this: Low drops to 98.5 FPS, Medium to 79.5 FPS, High to 64.3 FPS, and Ultra to 39.5 FPS. The 60% reduction from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra (119.5 to 39.5 FPS) far exceeds the 25% reduction from 1080p High to 4K High (191 to 64.3 FPS), showing that the GPU is severely stressed at higher presets. The CPU's performance remains constant regardless of resolution, so the scaling differences are attributable to the GPU's rendering load.

The Verdict

This system can run Minecraft: Java Edition at all tested resolutions, but with important caveats. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears 60 FPS, with Ultra achieving 119.5 FPS, making this the ideal resolution for the combo. At 2560x1440, all four presets also remain playable, with Ultra at 71.7 FPS providing the best visual experience while staying above the threshold. The situation at 3840x2160 is more restrictive: High settings deliver 64.3 FPS, which is just barely playable, while Ultra falls to 39.5 FPS and fails the requirement. For 4K gaming, users should select High or Medium settings to maintain smooth performance. The data indicates this combo is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming with high quality settings, and it can handle 4K only when the user accepts reduced graphical fidelity. The CPU's strong single-thread performance supports the game's core mechanics, while the GPU provides sufficient bandwidth and shading power for mainstream resolutions, but the 4K Ultra preset exceeds its capabilities.
