Measured Frame Rates
The measured average FPS for this CPU and GPU combination in Minecraft: Java Edition is provided across three resolutions and four quality settings.
| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 3840x2160 | High | 161.2 |
| 3840x2160 | Low | 258.8 |
| 3840x2160 | Medium | 200.9 |
| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 98.4 |
| 2560x1440 | High | 309.2 |
| 2560x1440 | Low | 491.3 |
| 2560x1440 | Medium | 388.5 |
| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 192.1 |
| 1920x1080 | High | 490.1 |
| 1920x1080 | Low | 780.4 |
| 1920x1080 | Medium | 618.6 |
| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 303.7 |
All measured averages are above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The lowest result is 98.4 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra, and the highest result is 780.4 FPS at 1920x1080 Low. At every resolution, even the Ultra preset remains comfortably above 60 FPS.
Performance Context
The CPU sits at the 95th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 79097. Its nearest rivals in aggregate benchmark score are the Intel Core i9-14900KF at 79371, the Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus at 79574, the AMD EPYC 7413 at 80041, and the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 at 77740.
The GPU sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49957. Its nearest rivals in aggregate benchmark score are the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 at 50001, the Intel Arc A550M at 49737, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT at 50951, and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT at 48477.
These percentile and nearest-rival figures describe general benchmark performance, not Minecraft-specific frame rates. The Minecraft FPS data in this page is measured directly for this combination.
CPU and GPU Roles
The data shows a clear pattern of frame rate scaling across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 780.4 on Low to 303.7 on Ultra. At 2560x1440, the range is 491.3 on Low to 192.1 on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the range is 258.8 on Low to 98.4 on Ultra. As resolution increases, average FPS falls substantially at every quality setting.
This resolution sensitivity indicates that the GPU becomes a more significant factor as rendering resolution rises. At 1080p, the GPU is able to produce very high frame rates, with Low reaching 780.4 FPS and Medium reaching 618.6 FPS. At 4K, the same settings produce 258.8 and 200.9 FPS respectively, showing a much heavier GPU workload.
The CPU also has strong single-thread benchmark results, including a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2262.5, a Passmark single-thread score of 4697, and a Geekbench single-core score of 2655. Those results indicate that the processor is well suited to very high frame-rate scenarios. The measured data does not isolate CPU utilization from GPU utilization, so the exact CPU/GPU balance cannot be quantified, but the overall result is that neither component prevents this combination from exceeding 60 FPS at any tested resolution or setting.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For the CPU, the nearest rivals are all extremely close in aggregate benchmark score. The i9-14900K is 0.3% behind the Intel Core i9-14900KF, 0.6% behind the Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus, and 1.2% behind the AMD EPYC 7413. It is 1.7% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. In practical terms, a system with any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical CPU-level benchmark performance.
For the GPU, the RTX 5070 Ti is 0.1% behind the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64, 0.4% ahead of the Intel Arc A550M, 2% behind the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, and 3.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT in average benchmark score. These are aggregate benchmark comparisons, not direct Minecraft FPS comparisons, but they show that the RTX 5070 Ti sits in a tight performance band around these GPUs.

How This Combo Ranks
In Minecraft: Java Edition, this CPU and GPU pairing ranks 130 out of 1727 tested combinations. That places it in the upper portion of the tested field. The rank is based on measured FPS data for this specific pairing, and the playable threshold is set at 60 FPS. Given that every tested resolution and settings combination clears 60 FPS, the high rank is consistent with the measured results.
The Verdict
Yes, this PC can run Minecraft: Java Edition. At 3840x2160, the playable settings are High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with Ultra as the best settings option at 98.4 average FPS. At 2560x1440, all four settings are playable, with Ultra at 192.1 average FPS. At 1920x1080, all four settings are playable, with Ultra at 303.7 average FPS.
The lowest measured average frame rate across all tested configurations is 98.4 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is still above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This combination therefore clears 60 FPS at every resolution and quality setting included in the measured data.
