At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 316.3 FPS, over five times the minimum required.

The data shows no scenario where this hardware configuration struggles to maintain smooth gameplay. The lowest measured result across the entire test matrix is 108 FPS at 4K Ultra, which still provides a comfortable margin above the playability standard. Users can confidently enable the highest quality settings at any resolution without compromising frame rate stability.

CPU and GPU Roles

The CPU and GPU contributions to Minecraft: Java Edition performance can be inferred from the scaling patterns across resolutions and presets. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 has a passmark single-thread score of 3910 and a multithread score of 27058, with a 3dmark single-thread score of 999. The game's performance scaling from 1080p to 4K at identical presets shows the GPU becoming increasingly relevant at higher resolutions.

At 1080p, the system achieves 316.3 FPS at Ultra settings, which suggests the CPU is providing substantial frame generation capability. Moving to 1440p reduces this to 200.2 FPS, a 36.7% decline, and 4K drops it to 108 FPS, another 46.1% reduction. This scaling pattern indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU (with its strong single-thread performance) is capable of feeding frames quickly, while at higher resolutions, the GPU's rendering workload becomes the limiting factor.

The RTX 4080 SUPER's performance characteristics support this interpretation. With a passmark G3D score of 34245 and a 3dmark steel nomad score of 6600, the GPU has substantial rendering headroom. The fact that frame rates remain above 100 FPS even at 4K Ultra suggests that neither component is being pushed to its absolute limit, but the increasingly large performance gaps between presets at higher resolutions indicate the GPU is carrying more of the load as pixel count increases.

The Ultra preset at 4K produces 108 FPS compared to 267.7 FPS at Low, a 148.8 FPS difference. At 1080p, the same preset comparison yields 316.3 FPS versus 735.9 FPS, a 419.6 FPS gap. This widening delta at lower resolutions points to the CPU's ability to generate frames outpacing the GPU's ability to render them at high settings, reinforcing the conclusion that Minecraft: Java Edition benefits from both strong single-threaded CPU performance and high GPU throughput, with the CPU playing a relatively larger role at lower resolutions and the GPU becoming more dominant at 4K.
