Minecraft: Java Edition

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 shows a wide performance envelope across three resolutions and four presets. The database contains only average FPS values for this title; minimum and maximum frame times were not captured in this run. All figures below are average FPS.

At 1920x1080, the combination is exceptionally fast. The Low preset delivers 357.4 FPS, which is the highest recorded value in the entire dataset for this combo. Medium follows at 283.6 FPS, High at 222.3 FPS, and Ultra at 141.3 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is substantial: approximately 216 FPS, or about 60% lower. Even at Ultra, the frame rate remains well above the 60 FPS playability threshold, leaving considerable headroom for high refresh rate displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance scales down predictably but remains strong. Low produces 225.5 FPS, Medium 178 FPS, High 142.4 FPS, and Ultra 87.8 FPS. The step from High to Ultra at this resolution is the largest relative drop among the 1440p presets: a reduction of 54.6 FPS, or roughly 38%. The 1440p Ultra result is the only preset at this resolution that dips below 100 FPS, but it still clears the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable margin.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes noticeably. Low delivers 117.2 FPS, Medium 95.9 FPS, and High 72.8 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 46.5 FPS, which is the only recorded result in the entire dataset that fails to reach 60 FPS. This marks a clear boundary: the combination can handle 4K High but not 4K Ultra. The scaling from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra is steep, dropping from 87.8 FPS to 46.5 FPS, a reduction of 41.3 FPS. Similarly, 1440p High at 142.4 FPS falls to 72.8 FPS at 4K High, roughly halving the frame rate.

Across all resolutions, the gap between Low and Medium is smaller than the gap between High and Ultra. At 1080p, Low to Medium costs 73.8 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 81 FPS. At 1440p, Low to Medium costs 47.5 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 54.6 FPS. At 4K, Low to Medium costs 21.3 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 26.3 FPS. This consistent pattern suggests that the Ultra preset introduces rendering work that disproportionately affects the GPU.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the database identifies the most demanding preset that still maintains an average of at least 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the best setting is Ultra, with a recorded average of 141.3 FPS. This is the highest quality preset available in the test, and it still leaves substantial margin above the playability threshold. Users with high refresh rate monitors can expect smooth playback even in demanding scenes.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is also Ultra, achieving 87.8 FPS average. This is 27.8 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The margin is thinner than at 1080p but still comfortable for standard 60 Hz displays and adequate for many 144 Hz panels, though not enough to saturate them.

At 3840x2160, the best setting is High, with 72.8 FPS average. The Ultra preset at this resolution drops to 46.5 FPS, which fails the playability check. High is the ceiling for 4K, and it clears 60 FPS by 12.8 FPS. This leaves some headroom, but not a large buffer for scene complexity spikes.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations for Minecraft: Java Edition, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 ranks 1373 out of 1727 total combos. This places it in the lower portion of the ranking table, around the 21st percentile from the top. The rank reflects how this specific CPU and GPU pairing performs relative to all other tested pairings in this game.

The ranking position is notable because the absolute FPS numbers are high across most settings. The low rank is likely influenced by the large number of combinations in the database that feature newer or higher-end hardware, which push the top of the table. Still, the data shows that this combo sits in the bottom quarter of tested systems for this title, meaning many other pairings deliver higher frame rates, especially at lower resolutions where CPU performance becomes more relevant.

The percentile position for the CPU itself is 79, meaning the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G outperforms 79% of all CPUs in the database across all tested workloads. The GPU percentile is 58, meaning the RTX 2060 outperforms 58% of all GPUs. The disparity between these two percentiles and the combo rank of 1373 suggests that Minecraft: Java Edition's performance at the tested settings is heavily influenced by factors beyond raw compute, or that the database's combo ranking includes many systems with stronger GPUs.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rival to the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G in the CPU database is the Intel Core i9-9900K, with an average benchmark score of 27097 compared to 27051 for the 5700G. The delta is -0.2%, meaning the two are effectively tied in aggregate performance. Systems using the i9-9900K should behave nearly identically to the 5700G in CPU-bound scenarios. Also nearby are the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 at 26936 (0.4% slower), the Intel Core i5-14400T at 27166 (0.4% faster), and the Intel Core i7-1370P at 26900 (0.6% slower). Any of these CPUs paired with the same RTX 2060 would produce very similar frame rates in this game.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 has an average score of 15283 versus 15290 for the RTX 2060, a delta of 0%. This is a surprising match given the generational gap, but the database records them as near equals in aggregate benchmarks. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270 (0.1% slower), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199 (0.6% slower), and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 scores 15171 (0.8% slower). For Minecraft: Java Edition, swapping the RTX 2060 for any of these GPUs would yield almost identical measured FPS, within the margin of run-to-run variance.

A system using the Ryzen 7 5700G with an RTX 3050 OEM or RX 7600 would be slightly behind the tested configuration in GPU-bound scenarios. Conversely, pairing the 5700G with a GTX 580 would match the RTX 2060's aggregate score, though the RTX 2060 offers additional features that may matter outside this game's specific workload.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: this PC can run Minecraft: Java Edition at playable frame rates for nearly every combination of resolution and preset tested. The verdict by resolution confirms this.

At 3840x2160, the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium. The best setting is High, with an average of 72.8 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the single failure point in the entire dataset, falling to 46.5 FPS, which is 13.5 FPS below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable. The best setting is Ultra at 87.8 FPS average. This means users can run the game at maximum quality at 1440p and still have a 27.8 FPS buffer above the playability cutoff.

At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable. The best setting is Ultra at 141.3 FPS average. This is the strongest result in the dataset, with a buffer of 81.3 FPS above the threshold.

In summary, the combination is fully capable for 1080p and 1440p gaming at maximum settings, and for 4K gaming up to High settings. The only scenario that fails the 60 FPS requirement is 4K Ultra.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data allows for an analysis of which component constrains performance at each resolution. The pattern across resolutions and presets reveals how the balance shifts.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high across all presets, ranging from 141.3 FPS at Ultra to 357.4 FPS at Low. The GPU is likely not the primary bottleneck at this resolution, especially at Low and Medium presets where the rendering load is lighter. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, with 8 cores and 16 threads, provides sufficient single-thread throughput for the game's primary simulation thread. The high FPS at 1080p Low (357.4) suggests the CPU is capable of driving the game logic at very high rates, and the RTX 2060 can keep up with the output.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates drop by roughly 35% to 50% compared to 1080p, depending on the preset. For example, 1080p High is 222.3 FPS, while 1440p High is 142.4 FPS, a reduction of 79.9 FPS. This scaling is typical of GPU-bound workloads, as the pixel count increases by 1.78 times. The Ultra preset at 1440p (87.8 FPS) is still well above the threshold, indicating the GPU has enough headroom to handle the increased resolution without the CPU becoming a limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU bottleneck becomes dominant. The pixel count quadruples from 1080p, and the frame rates reflect this. 4K Ultra at 46.5 FPS is the only result below 60 FPS, and it is clear that the RTX 2060 cannot sustain the extreme shader and fill-rate demands of the Ultra preset at this resolution. The CPU is not the constraint here, as the same CPU drives 1080p Ultra at 141.3 FPS. The game is increasingly GPU-limited as resolution rises.

The scaling between presets also indicates component roles. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 216.1 FPS, which is a large absolute gap. This suggests that the GPU is still doing meaningful work even at 1080p, but the CPU is able to feed it fast enough. At 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra is 70.7 FPS, and the absolute values are much lower. This shows that the GPU's raw throughput is the limiting factor at high resolutions, regardless of the CPU's capability.

In practical terms, the Ryzen 7 5700G is more than sufficient for this game at all tested resolutions. The RTX 2060 becomes the limiting component at 4K Ultra, and to a lesser extent at 4K High, where it still manages 72.8 FPS. For users targeting 1080p or 1440p, the GPU is not the bottleneck at any preset, and the CPU's strong single-thread performance keeps frame rates high. For 4K, the GPU determines whether the game stays playable, and it does so for all presets except Ultra.
