The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT scores 50951, putting it 2 percent higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT scores 48477, coming in 3.1 percent lower.

Q: What is the CPU benchmark standing of the Ryzen 5 2600 relative to all tested CPUs?

A: The Ryzen 5 2600 sits in the 75th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 21484. Nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V at 21440 (0.2 percent difference), the Intel Core i9-11900H at 21367 (0.5 percent difference), and the Intel Xeon D-1746TER at 21635 (0.7 percent difference).

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations for Minimum?

A: This specific CPU and GPU pairing ranks 625th out of 3712 tested combinations for Minimum, placing it in the top portion of the database.

Q: Is there any frame rate data below 60 FPS for this system in Minimum?

A: No. Across all three resolutions and all four settings presets tested, the lowest average frame rate recorded is 61.1 FPS at 4K Ultra. Every other configuration produces higher averages, meaning the system never drops below the playable threshold in the recorded data.

Best Settings per Resolution

The recorded data for Minimum shows that this system can handle the highest quality preset at every resolution while staying above 60 FPS.

3840x2160 (4K): The most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average frame rate of 61.1 FPS. The margin above the playable threshold is slim, but it clears the line. High settings produce 77.6 FPS, Medium yields 92.7 FPS, and Low reaches 120.1 FPS, all comfortably playable.

2560x1440 (1440p): Ultra settings deliver an average of 109.6 FPS, which is the best visual quality available while maintaining a wide margin above 60 FPS. High settings reach 139.4 FPS, Medium produces 170.4 FPS, and Low hits 206.5 FPS.

1920x1080 (1080p): Ultra settings generate an average of 165.4 FPS, making it the clear choice for maximum quality. High settings reach 205.9 FPS, Medium produces 219.5 FPS, and Low delivers 238.6 FPS, all far beyond the 60 FPS floor.

In every resolution, the Ultra preset is the recommended choice because the frame rate never approaches the playable limit. The gap between Ultra and the 60 FPS threshold widens substantially as resolution decreases, from a 1.1 FPS margin at 4K to a 105.4 FPS margin at 1080p.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database lists nearby hardware that would produce statistically similar results in Minimum.

For the CPU: The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 has an average benchmark score of 21484. The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V scores 21440, a 0.2 percent difference, meaning it would behave nearly identically in CPU-bound scenarios. The Intel Core i9-11900H sits 0.5 percent higher at 21367, and the Intel Xeon D-1746TER is 0.7 percent higher at 21635. The AMD EPYC 9454 scores 21223, 1.2 percent lower. Any of these processors would deliver essentially the same frame pacing in Minimum when paired with the same GPU.

For the GPU: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has an average benchmark score of 49957. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 scores 50001, only 0.1 percent higher, making it the closest match in overall graphics performance. The Intel Arc A550M scores 49737, 0.4 percent lower. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT scores 50951, 2 percent higher, and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT scores 48477, 3.1 percent lower. Swapping to any of these cards would shift frame rates by a few percentage points at most, keeping the system well above the playable threshold in Minimum.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers clearly: this PC can run Minimum with playable frame rates at every resolution and every settings preset tested.

At 3840x2160, the verdict shows all four settings presets are playable. The best setting is Ultra with an average of 61.1 FPS, just barely clearing the 60 FPS threshold. This is the only configuration where the system approaches the playable limit, so 4K Ultra is playable but leaves little headroom.

At 2560x1440, all presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 109.6 FPS. This resolution offers a strong balance between visual fidelity and performance, giving the user nearly double the 60 FPS floor.

At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 165.4 FPS. The system has substantial performance headroom at 1080p, making it well suited for high refresh rate displays.

The verdict by resolution confirms that the RTX 5070 Ti provides enough graphics horsepower to push the game to maximum settings, while the Ryzen 5 2600 keeps up without bottlenecking the frame rate at any tested configuration. Users who want maximum quality at 4K can enable Ultra settings and still remain above the playable threshold, though the margin is narrow.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured frame rates show how the balance between CPU and GPU workload shifts across resolutions and presets in Minimum.

At 1920x1080, the system produces very high frame rates across all settings. Low settings average 238.6 FPS, Medium reaches 219.5 FPS, High hits 205.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 165.4 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 73.2 FPS, indicating that the GPU is handling the bulk of the rendering load. At lower resolutions, the CPU becomes relatively more important because the GPU can process frames quickly enough that processor speed limits the output. The Ryzen 5 2600, with a 75th percentile ranking among CPUs, has enough single-thread and multi-thread capability to sustain these high frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down as the GPU takes on more work. Low settings average 206.5 FPS, Medium produces 170.4 FPS, High reaches 139.4 FPS, and Ultra delivers 109.6 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 96.9 FPS, wider than at 1080p, which shows the GPU becoming the primary performance factor. The CPU still has enough headroom to keep feeding frames at these rates.

At 3840x2160, the GPU dominates the performance picture. Low settings average 120.1 FPS, Medium reaches 92.7 FPS, High produces 77.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 61.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 59 FPS, and the overall frame rates are much lower than at 1440p or 1080p. This scaling pattern indicates that Minimum becomes increasingly GPU-bound as resolution rises. The CPU's role diminishes because the GPU cannot render frames fast enough for the processor to become the limiting factor.

Across all resolutions, the frame rate drops consistently when moving from Low to Ultra settings. The percentage reduction from Low to Ultra is 30.7 percent at 1080p, 46.9 percent at 1440p, and 49.1 percent at 4K. This progression shows that higher settings and higher resolutions both shift the workload toward the GPU, which is expected for a third-person shooter with modern rendering demands.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti ranks 625th out of 3712 tested combinations in Minimum. This places the system in the top 16.8 percent of all recorded configurations for this game.

The ranking reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU. The Ryzen 5 2600 sits at the 75th percentile among CPUs with an average benchmark score of 21484, while the RTX 5070 Ti sits at the 86th percentile among GPUs with an average score of 49957. The GPU is relatively stronger than the CPU, which is appropriate for a game like Minimum where resolution scaling indicates a GPU-heavy workload.

The 625th rank out of 3712 combinations means that a large number of systems outperform this pairing, but the majority of tested configurations fall below it. Systems ranked higher likely pair the RTX 5070 Ti, or comparable GPUs, with newer processors that have higher single-thread performance. Systems ranked lower typically use weaker GPUs or older CPUs.

The rank also confirms that this pairing is well matched for Minimum's requirements. The CPU does not drag the GPU down to the point where frame rates become unplayable, and the GPU provides enough performance to make the CPU the secondary consideration at higher resolutions.
