Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti covers three resolutions and four preset levels. The database only tracks average FPS for this title, with no minimum or maximum frame time data available.

At 1920x1080, the results are consistently high. The Low preset reaches 239.6 FPS average, which is the highest figure recorded for this combo across all tests. Medium drops to 182.6 FPS, High settles at 153.9 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a strong 117.1 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 122.5 FPS spread, meaning the most demanding preset cuts performance roughly in half compared to the least demanding one.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain comfortable. Low produces 155.5 FPS, Medium delivers 119.3 FPS, High manages 103 FPS, and Ultra stays playable at 76.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 79.3 FPS, a smaller absolute difference than at 1080p, which suggests the GPU is starting to feel the resolution increase but still has ample headroom.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes noticeably. Low still delivers a smooth 83.2 FPS, Medium drops to 65.4 FPS, High falls to 51.5 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 43 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 40.2 FPS. These numbers show that 4K is where the RTX 3070 Ti begins to struggle with the heavier presets in this title. High and Ultra both fall below the 60 FPS playability threshold, while Low and Medium stay above it.

The data reveals an interesting pattern: the FPS cost of each preset step is not uniform. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium costs 57 FPS, from Medium to High costs 28.7 FPS, and from High to Ultra costs 36.8 FPS. At 1440p, the steps are 36.2, 16.3, and 26.8 FPS respectively. At 4K, the steps are 17.8, 13.9, and 8.5 FPS. The diminishing absolute cost at higher resolutions indicates that pixel throughput becomes the bottleneck rather than shading complexity.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Minimum at 60 FPS on Ultra settings?

A: Yes, at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440. The Ultra preset averages 117.1 FPS at 1080p and 76.2 FPS at 1440p. At 3840x2160, Ultra only reaches 43 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the best preset available at 4K resolution?

A: Medium is the highest playable preset at 3840x2160, with an average of 65.4 FPS. High falls to 51.5 FPS and Ultra to 43 FPS, both under the playability threshold.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 1440p?

A: The combination ranks 1327th out of 3712 tested combos in the database, placing it in the upper portion of the field.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU provide context for how the Ryzen 5 2600 compares in synthetic workloads. The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V scores 21440, just 0.2 percent below the Ryzen's 21484 average. The Intel Core i9-11900H is 0.5 percent behind, and the AMD EPYC 9454 trails by 1.2 percent. The Intel Xeon D-1746TER sits 0.7 percent ahead. These are near-identical scores, meaning a system built with any of these processors would likely deliver very similar frame rates in Minimum, assuming the GPU remains constant.

On the GPU side, the RTX 3070 Ti's nearest rivals are equally close. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile scores 29928, just 0.1 percent behind. The RTX 2080 Ti is 0.5 percent behind, while the AMD Radeon RX 6800 leads by 0.5 percent and the RX 6700 leads by 1.6 percent. In practical terms, swapping the RTX 3070 Ti for any of these alternatives would produce nearly identical FPS in Minimum. The RX 6700 might offer a slight edge, but the difference is within measurement noise.

For the full system, the data suggests that a Ryzen 5 2600 paired with an RTX 2080 Ti would behave almost exactly like the tested combo, given the 0.5 percent GPU score difference. Similarly, an Intel Core i9-11900H with the RTX 3070 Ti would preserve the same CPU-side behavior. The percentile rankings reinforce this: the CPU sits at the 75th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU also sits at the 75th percentile among all GPUs, indicating balanced positioning within their respective product stacks.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Minimum, but the experience depends heavily on resolution. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 117.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also stay above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 76.2 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, delivering 83.2 FPS and 65.4 FPS respectively. High and Ultra fall short at 51.5 FPS and 43 FPS.

The verdict by resolution confirms this breakdown. The database lists 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 as fully playable across all settings, while 3840x2160 only qualifies for Low and Medium. For a 4K display, users would need to compromise on visual quality to maintain smooth gameplay. For 1440p and below, the system has enough headroom to run Maximum settings without concern.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 117.1 FPS. This leaves significant margin above the threshold, so even scenes with heavy action should remain fluid.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best choice, averaging 76.2 FPS. This is still 16.2 FPS above the playability threshold, providing a comfortable buffer.

At 3840x2160, Medium is the highest preset that maintains 60 FPS, averaging 65.4 FPS. The margin here is only 5.4 FPS, which is tighter. Players who prefer more visual fidelity could attempt High, but the 51.5 FPS average would likely result in occasional stutter. Low remains an option for maximum smoothness at 83.2 FPS, but Medium offers a better balance of quality and performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The Ryzen 5 2600 and RTX 3070 Ti combination ranks 1327th out of 3712 tested combos in the database for Minimum. This places it in the top 35.7 percent of all systems tested. The ranking reflects a mid-to-upper tier position, consistent with the 75th percentile scores of both components individually. The system is not at the top of the charts, but it outperforms the majority of tested configurations.

The rank suggests that many systems with newer CPUs or higher-tier GPUs achieve better frame rates, but the gap is not enormous. The RTX 3070 Ti delivers solid 1080p and 1440p performance, and the Ryzen 5 2600 does not appear to hold it back in this title based on the measured data.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Ryzen 5 2600 and RTX 3070 Ti becomes clear when examining the scaling across resolutions and presets.

At 1920x1080, the CPU likely plays a more significant role, since the frame rates are very high. The Low preset reaches 239.6 FPS, which requires the CPU to feed frames quickly. The Ryzen 5 2600's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 3.90 GHz, are sufficient to keep up at this level. The GPU is still working hard, but the CPU is not the limiting factor.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on more responsibility. The frame rates drop across all presets compared to 1080p, with Low going from 239.6 to 155.5 FPS. This 84.1 FPS reduction is primarily due to the increased pixel count. The CPU is still delivering enough throughput, but the GPU's rendering load is higher.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. The Low preset drops to 83.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 43 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 40.2 FPS, compared to 122.5 FPS at 1080p. This compression indicates that the GPU is saturated at 4K, and the CPU has relatively less influence on the final frame rate. The RTX 3070 Ti's 8 GB of GDDR6X memory and 608.3 GB/s bandwidth are being pushed hard at this resolution.

The data implies that for this game, the RTX 3070 Ti is the component to upgrade if 4K performance matters. The Ryzen 5 2600 is adequate for 1080p and 1440p but might show its age in CPU-heavy scenarios. However, in Minimum specifically, the recorded numbers show no evidence of CPU bottlenecking at any resolution, since frame rates scale predictably with GPU load.
