Minimum

How This Combo Ranks

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 ranks 2960 out of 3712 tested combos in Minimum, placing it in the lower third of the database. That ranking reflects a hardware pairing that is competent for the game's demands but not exceptional by modern standards. The CPU sits at the 71st percentile among all processors, a solid mid-range standing, while the GPU lands at the 58th percentile among all graphics cards. When combined, these parts deliver playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but the overall ranking is dragged down by the GPU's inability to keep pace at 4K, where no settings configuration reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The recorded data shows a system that is well matched for mainstream resolutions, with the bottleneck shifting from the CPU at lower settings to the GPU as resolution and quality demands increase.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 77.4 FPS. This is the best possible visual quality the combo can run while maintaining smooth gameplay at the most common resolution. The Ultra preset at 1080p is fully playable, leaving headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, which indicates the combo is not being pushed to its limits here.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 63.3 FPS. This is a narrower margin above the threshold, and the data shows that Medium runs at 75.9 FPS and Low at 101 FPS, but High is the highest quality option that still clears 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution drops to 49.1 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold and should be avoided for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 53.4 FPS, followed by Medium at 39.9 FPS, High at 35.3 FPS, and Ultra at 28 FPS. None of these configurations are playable at the 60 FPS standard, so the verdict for 4K is that this combo cannot run Minimum at a smooth frame rate at any quality setting.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the primary driver of performance, but the CPU keeps pace well enough that even the most demanding preset, Ultra, maintains 77.4 FPS. The scaling from Low at 154.8 FPS to Ultra at 77.4 FPS shows a 77.4 FPS drop, which is a substantial range that indicates the GPU is being taxed more heavily as quality increases. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, has enough headroom at this resolution to avoid becoming the limiting factor.

At 2560x1440, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced. The frame rates drop across all presets compared to 1080p: Low goes from 154.8 to 101 FPS, Medium from 119 to 75.9 FPS, High from 97.6 to 63.3 FPS, and Ultra from 77.4 to 49.1 FPS. The percentage drops are roughly 35%, 36%, 35%, and 37% respectively, showing a consistent scaling pattern that points to the GPU as the dominant constraint. The CPU is still sufficient at this resolution, but the RTX 2060's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus are being pushed harder.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is almost entirely the bottleneck. The frame rates collapse to 53.4 FPS at Low and 28 FPS at Ultra, a 48% drop from Low to Ultra. The 4K resolution quadruples the pixel count from 1080p, and the RTX 2060 simply does not have the raw throughput, with its 6.451 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth, to sustain 60 FPS even at the lowest settings. The CPU's role diminishes further at this resolution, as the GPU becomes the sole determining factor for playability.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, which scores 17482 on average and is 0.1% slower, the Intel Core 7 150U at 17395 and 0.6% slower, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE at 17614 and 0.6% faster, and the Intel Core i3-14100T at 17648 and 0.8% faster. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, meaning any of these processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Minimum when paired with the same GPU. The Ryzen 5 4600G's average benchmark score of 17507 places it squarely in this cluster, and the differences are so small that they would be imperceptible in real gameplay.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 at 15283 and 0% difference, the AMD Radeon 680M at 15270 and 0.1% slower, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM at 15199 and 0.6% slower, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 at 15171 and 0.8% slower. The RTX 2060's average benchmark score of 15290 is essentially identical to the GTX 580, and within a single percentage point of the other three. This means that swapping the RTX 2060 for any of these alternatives would produce nearly the same performance profile in Minimum, with the same limitations at 4K and the same playability at 1080p and 1440p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded average frame rates are as follows: Low runs at 154.8 FPS, Medium at 119 FPS, High at 97.6 FPS, and Ultra at 77.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 77.4 FPS, and every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold with room to spare. The minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded in the database, so the analysis relies on averages, which are consistently strong at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the average frame rates are: Low at 101 FPS, Medium at 75.9 FPS, High at 63.3 FPS, and Ultra at 49.1 FPS. The step from Medium to High is 12.6 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 14.2 FPS, showing a steeper decline as the preset approaches the GPU's limit. High is the only preset that clears 60 FPS with a margin of just 3.3 FPS, which is close enough that in-game fluctuations could occasionally dip below the threshold.

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are: Low at 53.4 FPS, Medium at 39.9 FPS, High at 35.3 FPS, and Ultra at 28 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 13.5 FPS, from Medium to High is 4.6 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 7.3 FPS. No preset at this resolution reaches 60 FPS, and even the lowest settings fall 6.6 FPS short of the playable threshold. The pattern is consistent with a GPU that is overwhelmed by the pixel count at 4K.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum, but the playable range is limited to 1080p and 1440p. At 1920x1080, the verdict is clear: all four presets, Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, are playable, with the best settings being Ultra at 77.4 FPS. This is the ideal configuration for this combo, offering maximum visual quality while maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, the playable presets are High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best at 63.3 FPS. This resolution is playable but with less headroom, and the Ultra preset at 49.1 FPS should be avoided. At 3840x2160, the verdict is negative: no preset is playable, and the best achievable average is 53.4 FPS at Low settings, which still falls short of the 60 FPS threshold.

In summary, the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination is a capable pairing for Minimum at 1080p and 1440p, with the GPU being the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The CPU's 71st percentile standing and the GPU's 58th percentile standing align with the measured results, which show strong performance at mainstream resolutions and a sharp falloff at 4K. For users targeting 1080p, this combo delivers smooth gameplay at the highest settings. For 1440p, it remains viable at High settings. For 4K, the hardware is simply not sufficient to meet the 60 FPS standard.
