Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers a clear performance hierarchy in Minimum, with the data showing that 1080p and 1440p gameplay are both highly capable, while 4K requires a compromise on visual fidelity. The benchmark results indicate that this system clears the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution, but only the Low preset achieves that target at 3840x2160. At 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, the Ultra preset remains playable, which makes the RTX 4060 the dominant factor in this pairing for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Minimum shows a consistent pattern across all three resolutions: as settings increase from Low to Ultra, average frame rates drop in a predictable fashion. At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces an average of 203.6 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure for this configuration. Moving to Medium reduces the average to 155.9 FPS, a decline of roughly 23% from Low. The High preset delivers 130 FPS on average, while the Ultra preset still holds at 97 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 106.6 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU has ample headroom even at the most demanding settings.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern emerges with lower absolute numbers. The Low preset averages 130.6 FPS, nearly identical to the High preset result at 1080p. Medium follows at 98.5 FPS, High at 84.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 64 FPS. The Ultra result at 1440p is notable because it sits only 4 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the least comfortable playable configuration in the dataset. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution is a drop of 66.6 FPS, which is less severe than at 1080p but still substantial.

The 3840x2160 results show a much tighter and more demanding range. Low averages 68.1 FPS, which is the only 4K preset that clears 60 FPS. Medium drops to 55.7 FPS, High falls to 44.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 35.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 32.8 FPS, which is smaller in absolute terms than at lower resolutions but represents a proportional collapse in performance. None of the min or max FPS values are recorded in the database, so the analysis relies entirely on average frame rates, but the averages alone are sufficient to define the playable envelope.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 97 FPS. This is a decisive result: the system has enough performance to run the game at maximum settings with a 37 FPS margin above the playable threshold. The data shows no need to reduce settings at this resolution, as even the heaviest preset maintains a comfortable average.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, but the margin shrinks considerably. The average at Ultra is 64 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by only 4 FPS. While this is technically playable, the headroom is minimal, and any scene with above-average complexity could push the average lower. The High preset at 84.9 FPS offers a much safer alternative, but the database verdict identifies Ultra as the best playable setting at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Low, with an average of 68.1 FPS. This is the only 4K preset that reaches the 60 FPS target. Medium falls to 55.7 FPS, which is below the threshold, and High and Ultra are further behind at 44.7 FPS and 35.3 FPS respectively. The jump from Low to Medium at 4K costs 12.4 FPS, which is enough to push the configuration out of the playable range.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck in this configuration for Minimum, particularly at higher resolutions. The scaling from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at the same preset shows a consistent drop in FPS. For example, the Ultra preset falls from 97 FPS at 1080p to 64 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 33 FPS. The same preset at 4K drops to 35.3 FPS, which is a 61.7 FPS reduction from 1080p. This pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where increasing pixel count directly impacts frame rate.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and lower presets. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average of 203.6 FPS is high enough that the Ryzen 5 4600G's performance characteristics matter more than at 4K. The CPU has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, and the benchmark results show a 3DMark single-thread score of 726 and a multi-thread score of 4889. These figures are adequate for feeding the RTX 4060 at high frame rates, but the data suggests that the GPU still governs the overall experience.

The transition from 1440p to 4K at Low settings illustrates the GPU limit clearly. At 1440p Low, the average is 130.6 FPS, but at 4K Low it drops to 68.1 FPS, a 62.5 FPS reduction. This is a nearly 48% decline in performance for a resolution increase of roughly 2.25 times the pixel count. The CPU is unlikely to be the limiting factor in this range, as the same processor can sustain 203.6 FPS at 1080p Low. The recorded data points to the RTX 4060's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth as the key constraint at 4K, where the pixel fill rate demand outpaces the GPU's capabilities.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database places the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507. Its nearest rivals are closely clustered. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, which is 0.1% behind the 4600G. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6% lower. On the other side, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, 0.6% higher, and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, 0.8% higher. These deltas are minor, so any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Minimum. A system with one of these alternatives would show no meaningful difference in frame rates, especially since the game is GPU-bound at most settings.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, the average benchmark score is 17639, placing it at the 61st percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon HD 7790 with a score of 17666, which is 0.2% higher, and the AMD Radeon 780M with a score of 17588, 0.3% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, 0.5% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, 0.7% lower. The closeness of these scores means that swapping the RTX 4060 for any of these alternatives would result in nearly identical average FPS in Minimum. The Radeon HD 7790, despite being an older part, tracks within 0.2% of the RTX 4060 in aggregate benchmarks, although the RTX 4060 supports modern APIs like DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, which may matter for other titles.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, averaging 97 FPS. The 60 FPS threshold is cleared by a wide margin, and the configuration has enough headroom for consistent gameplay. At 2560x1440, the system also clears the threshold at Ultra, but the average of 64 FPS leaves only a 4 FPS buffer. This is playable, but it is the least stable playable configuration in the dataset.

At 3840x2160, the system can only run the game at Low settings, with an average of 68.1 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, with averages of 55.7 FPS, 44.7 FPS, and 35.3 FPS respectively. The verdict by resolution confirms this: 1080p and 1440p support Ultra, while 4K is limited to Low. The system ranks 1995 out of 3712 combos in the database for this game, placing it in the upper-middle tier of tested configurations. Overall, the RTX 4060 is the deciding component, and users targeting 4K should expect to sacrifice settings to maintain playability.
