Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded frame rate data for this AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination in Minimum shows a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and presets. The database includes average FPS values for 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080 at four quality settings each: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. No minimum or maximum frame rate values were recorded, so the analysis relies on average FPS as the primary metric.

At 3840x2160, the measured averages start at 64.6 FPS on Low settings. Moving to Medium drops the average to 52.5 FPS, a reduction of 12.1 FPS. High settings produce 44.2 FPS, and Ultra falls further to 32 FPS. This resolution is clearly the most demanding, with only the Low preset clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance profile is substantially stronger. Low settings deliver 122.6 FPS average, Medium reaches 94.6 FPS, and High achieves 78.9 FPS. Ultra settings still manage 59 FPS, which sits just 1 FPS below the 60 FPS playable mark. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 63.6 FPS, showing a steep cost for the highest preset.

At 1920x1080, the combination is overwhelmingly capable. Low settings produce an average of 186 FPS. Medium jumps to 143.6 FPS, High lands at 120.6 FPS, and even Ultra holds 91.4 FPS. Every preset at 1080p exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin, with Ultra still delivering 31.4 FPS above the playable line.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each step up in resolution costs a substantial portion of the frame rate, and each step up in preset quality does the same. The largest single drop occurs when moving from 2560x1440 Low to 3840x2160 Low, a fall of 58 FPS. The smallest drop between adjacent presets is 26.2 FPS, seen from 1920x1080 Low to Medium.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 64.6 FPS. Medium at 52.5 FPS and High at 44.2 FPS both fall short, and Ultra at 32 FPS is far below the threshold. This means at 4K, users should stick to the lowest quality settings to maintain smooth playback.

For 2560x1440, the best preset that clears 60 FPS is High, averaging 78.9 FPS. Low and Medium also qualify, but High is the highest quality option that remains playable. Ultra at 59 FPS is tantalizingly close but does not meet the 60 FPS requirement, so it is excluded from the playable set.

For 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 60 FPS. The most demanding preset that stays playable is Ultra, delivering 91.4 FPS average. This is the only resolution where the maximum quality setting is fully viable, and it does so with a comfortable 31.4 FPS margin above the threshold.

The verdict data confirms these findings: 3840x2160 lists only Low as playable, 2560x1440 lists High, Low, and Medium, and 1920x1080 lists all four presets. The best settings per resolution are Low at 4K, High at 1440p, and Ultra at 1080p.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Minimum at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, but only on Low settings. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 Low is 64.6 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium (52.5 FPS), High (44.2 FPS), and Ultra (32 FPS) all fall below it.

Q: What is the highest preset that stays above 60 FPS at 2560x1440?

A: High settings, with an average of 78.9 FPS. Ultra is the only preset that fails at this resolution, averaging 59 FPS, just 1 FPS below the threshold.

Q: How does the combo perform at 1920x1080 on Ultra settings?

A: Ultra settings average 91.4 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS playable mark. The margin over the threshold is 31.4 FPS, making this the most demanding fully playable configuration.

Q: What is the lowest measured frame rate in the database for this combo?

A: The lowest recorded average is 32 FPS, observed at 3840x2160 on Ultra settings. This is the only preset at any resolution that drops below 40 FPS.

Q: How large is the performance gap between Low and Ultra settings at 2560x1440?

A: Low averages 122.6 FPS while Ultra averages 59 FPS, a difference of 63.6 FPS. Ultra misses the 60 FPS threshold by only 1 FPS, while Low nearly doubles the threshold.

Q: Is the RTX 2070 SUPER the limiting factor at 4K High settings?

A: The data shows 44.2 FPS at 3840x2160 High, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. However, the database does not isolate CPU versus GPU load, so the bottleneck cannot be attributed to a single component from these measurements alone.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Minimum, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 2133 out of 3712 tested combos. This places it in the upper-middle portion of the field, roughly in the 57th percentile of all tested configurations. The rank reflects the aggregate performance across all measured settings and resolutions.

The CPU itself sits at the 75th percentile among all processors in the database, indicating strong general compute performance relative to the wider CPU pool. The GPU, meanwhile, sits at the 65th percentile among all graphics cards. The combination of a high-percentile CPU with a moderately high-percentile GPU produces a system that handles Minimum well at most settings but struggles at the highest 4K preset.

Given that the combo rank of 2133 out of 3712 is slightly above the midpoint, the data suggests this configuration is neither a top-tier performer nor a marginal one. It comfortably handles 1080p and 1440p across most presets, but 4K requires the lowest quality settings. This aligns with the measured FPS data, which shows a steep drop when moving to 3840x2160.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 2600, based on average benchmark scores, include several processors with very close performance deltas. The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V scores 21440, just 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 5 2600's 21484 average. The Intel Core i9-11900H scores 21367, a 0.5% deficit. The Intel Xeon D-1746TER scores 21635, which is 0.7% higher. The AMD EPYC 9454 scores 21223, 1.2% below. All four rivals fall within a 1.2% band of the Ryzen 5 2600, meaning any of them would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum when paired with the same GPU.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, the nearest rivals are equally close. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, 1% lower than the RTX 2070 SUPER's 20282 average. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 1.2% higher. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, 1.3% higher. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 1.5% higher. These deltas are small enough that swapping the GPU for any of these alternatives would result in essentially identical FPS figures across all tested resolutions and presets.

The practical implication is that a system built with any of these near-identical CPUs or GPUs would produce the same playability verdicts: playable at 4K Low, playable at 1440p up to High, and playable at 1080p at all presets including Ultra. The performance differences between these alternatives are within the margin of run-to-run variance typically seen in frame rate measurements.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum, and the answer depends heavily on the target resolution. The verdict by resolution from the database is clear and consistent with the measured FPS data.

At 3840x2160, the system is only playable on Low settings, which averages 64.6 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra dropping to 32 FPS. Users targeting 4K must accept the lowest quality preset to maintain smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the playable settings expand to High, Low, and Medium. The best of these is High at 78.9 FPS, which leaves a healthy margin above 60 FPS. Ultra at 59 FPS is the sole non-playable option, missing the threshold by 1 FPS. This is the most borderline case in the entire dataset.

At 1920x1080, every preset is playable, including Ultra at 91.4 FPS. The lowest measured average at this resolution is 120.6 FPS on High, and Low reaches 186 FPS. This resolution is where the combination performs without compromise.

The final assessment: this system is fully capable of running Minimum at 1080p with maximum quality, capable at 1440p with high quality, and only viable at 4K with reduced settings. The 60 FPS playable threshold is met in every scenario except 4K Medium and above, and 1440p Ultra. For users prioritizing visual fidelity, 1080p Ultra is the recommended configuration. For users prioritizing resolution, 4K Low remains playable, though the visual trade-off is substantial.
