Minecraft: Java Edition

This PC configuration—AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER—delivers exceptional performance in Minecraft: Java Edition, exceeding the 60 FPS playability threshold at every tested resolution and preset. The data reveals a system that is not merely adequate but massively overqualified, with frame rates that reach into the triple digits even under the most demanding settings at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data presents a clear picture of dominance across all tested scenarios. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the system produces staggering frame rates. The Low preset averages 617.1 FPS, which is over ten times the 60 FPS playability threshold. Moving up the preset ladder, Medium delivers 567.5 FPS, High drops slightly to 471.3 FPS, and Ultra still maintains 296.1 FPS. Even at Ultra, the frame rate is nearly five times higher than the playable threshold, indicating that the system's bottleneck is not performance but likely the display's refresh rate.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down from 1080p, but the results remain remarkably high. The Low preset averages 474.5 FPS, while Medium hits 376.2 FPS. High settings produce 297.1 FPS, and Ultra requires 185.9 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p represents a significant pixel count increase, yet the frame rate drop is relatively modest, with the Ultra preset falling from 296.1 to 185.9 FPS. This suggests that the GPU is not heavily taxed by this game at these settings.

The 3840x2160 resolution, commonly known as 4K, shows the most substantial performance impact, but even here, the system remains far above the playable threshold. The Low preset averages 248 FPS, Medium achieves 198 FPS, and High delivers 159 FPS. The Ultra preset is the only one to drop below the 200 FPS mark, but it still produces an average of 99.9 FPS, which is comfortably above 60 FPS. This means that even at the most demanding combination of resolution and settings, the system maintains a frame rate that is over 66% higher than the playable threshold.

It is important to note that the data does not include min or max FPS values, only averages. This means we cannot assess frame time consistency or 1% low performance. However, given the massive headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, even significant frame dips would likely not compromise playability.

Similar Performance Alternatives

According to the benchmark data, this CPU and GPU combo has specific nearest rivals that would behave similarly. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 27051, which places it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival is the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 27097, a delta of -0.2%, meaning the AMD chip is effectively tied with it. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, a 0.4% delta, while the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, a -0.4% delta, and the Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900, a 0.6% delta. Any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Minecraft: Java Edition.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has an average benchmark score of 31087, placing it in the 76th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA Quadro M5000, which scores 31206, a delta of -0.4%. The NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q scores 31220, also -0.4%, while the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell scores 31532, a -1.4% delta, and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX scores 31676, a -1.9% delta. For this game, swapping to any of these GPUs would produce frame rates that are within 2% of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, making them practical alternatives from a performance standpoint.

However, there is a notable difference in the performance profiles of these components. The CPU's nearest rivals are a mix of older and newer architectures, including the i9-9900K from 2018 and the Ryzen AI 7 445 from a newer generation. The GPU rivals, by contrast, include the Quadro M5000 and GRID M60-1Q, which are professional-grade products, and the TITAN RTX, which is a previous-generation enthusiast card. This suggests that for this specific game, the GPU's raw compute power is less relevant than its driver-level performance, as the game is known to be CPU-sensitive. The data supports this, as the CPU's percentile ranking (79th) is slightly higher than the GPU's (76th), indicating the CPU is a more critical factor in this game's performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results clearly indicate that for Minecraft: Java Edition, the CPU and GPU roles are not evenly balanced. The data shows notable scaling between resolutions and presets, which reveals which component is the limiting factor. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high, suggesting the game is primarily CPU-bound. This is evident in the relatively small performance drop when moving from Low to Ultra at 1080p. The Low preset averages 617.1 FPS, while Ultra averages 296.1 FPS, a drop of 320 FPS or roughly 52%. However, the CPU is likely the limiting factor here, as the GPU can render frames faster than the CPU can issue draw calls.

As the resolution increases to 2560x1440, the load shifts more toward the GPU, but the CPU still dominates. The Low preset drops from 617.1 to 474.5 FPS, a 23% reduction, while Ultra drops from 296.1 to 185.9 FPS, a 37% reduction. This shows that the GPU is starting to become more relevant, but the CPU still sets the upper limit. At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck. The Low preset drops to 248 FPS, a 48% reduction from 1440p, and Ultra drops to 99.9 FPS, a 46% reduction. This is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario, where the increased pixel count demands more from the graphics card.

The settings scaling also reveals the balance. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 248 vs 99.9 FPS, a 2.5x difference. At 1440p, the same comparison yields 474.5 vs 185.9 FPS, a 2.55x difference. At 1080p, the difference is 617.1 vs 296.1, a 2.08x difference. This consistency suggests that the GPU is handling the additional shading work in the Ultra preset, while the CPU is handling the game logic.

The data conclusively shows that the CPU is the more relevant component for this game. The Ryzen 7 5700G has a 79th percentile ranking, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a 76th percentile ranking. More importantly, the fact that the system can still achieve 99.9 FPS at 4K Ultra means that the CPU is not a bottleneck at any resolution, and the GPU is only became the limiting factor at the highest resolution and preset combination. In other words, the game is CPU-limited at 1080p and 1440p, and becomes GPU-limited only at 4K.
