Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination in Minimum shows strong performance across all tested resolutions and settings. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates range from 61 FPS at Ultra settings to 124 FPS at Low settings. The Medium preset at 4K delivers an average of 95 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 80 FPS and maximum of 109 FPS. High settings at 4K produce an average of 79 FPS. Notably, the Ultra preset at 4K stays above the 60 FPS playability threshold with an average of 61 FPS, though the data does not include separate minimum or maximum values for that configuration.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales upward substantially. Low settings produce an average of 230 FPS, while Medium settings deliver 176 FPS on average, with minimum and maximum readings of 149 FPS and 202 FPS respectively. High settings at 1440p average 148 FPS, and the Ultra preset maintains an average of 112 FPS. Every settings level at 1440p remains far above the 60 FPS threshold, with the most demanding preset still delivering nearly double the playability target.

At 1920x1080, the combination reaches its highest frame rates. The Low preset averages 283 FPS, Medium averages 257 FPS with a minimum of 218 FPS and maximum of 295 FPS, High settings average 229 FPS, and Ultra settings average 174 FPS. The data indicates that even the most demanding preset at 1080p produces frame rates nearly three times the playability threshold. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 109 FPS, showing that the settings menu has a meaningful impact on performance, though every option remains comfortably playable.

The measured FPS data includes min and max values only for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 4K Medium, the 80 to 109 FPS range represents a 29 FPS spread. At 1440p Medium, the spread widens to 53 FPS, from 149 to 202. At 1080p Medium, the spread is 77 FPS, from 218 to 295. This pattern suggests that frame time consistency varies with resolution, with tighter ranges at higher resolutions where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets in this data reveals which component limits performance for this game. At 3840x2160, dropping from Ultra to Low increases average FPS from 61 to 124, a gain of 63 FPS or approximately 103%. At 2560x1440, the same settings change moves average FPS from 112 to 230, a gain of 118 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Low to Ultra spread is from 174 to 283, a 109 FPS difference. The fact that resolution scaling produces such large absolute changes indicates that the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, is the dominant performance factor at all tested configurations.

The CPU, AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, has 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its benchmark scores include a Cinebench R23 multicore result of 13593 and a single-core result of 1919. The CPU ranks in the 71st percentile among all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 17507. For a game released in 2014, this processor provides ample headroom for the computational demands of Minimum, which is a Third-Person Shooter genre title.

The GPU, RTX 4080, ranks in the 86th percentile among all tested graphics cards with an average benchmark score of 54247. Its architecture, Ada Lovelace, includes 9728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output units. The memory subsystem consists of 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus with 716.8 GB/s bandwidth. The combination of a high-percentile GPU with a mid-range CPU results in the GPU consistently setting the performance ceiling across resolutions.

The data shows that at 4K, the Ultra preset averages 61 FPS, while at 1440p and 1080p, Ultra averages 112 FPS and 174 FPS respectively. This scaling from 4K to 1440p represents a 51 FPS improvement, and from 1440p to 1080p another 62 FPS gain. Such pronounced resolution scaling is characteristic of GPU-bound scenarios. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rate differences between resolutions would be much smaller, since the CPU's workload does not scale as dramatically with pixel count. The recorded numbers support the interpretation that this game at these settings is overwhelmingly GPU-limited.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 61 FPS. This sits just above the playability threshold, making it a viable but tight configuration for 4K gaming. The data records all four settings levels, High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, as playable at 4K, but Ultra is the highest quality option that still clears the 60 FPS bar.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 112 FPS, leaving substantial margin above the 60 FPS threshold. This makes Ultra the clear choice for 1440p, as it provides the maximum visual quality while maintaining nearly double the minimum playable frame rate. The High, Medium, and Low presets all also exceed 60 FPS, with averages of 148, 176, and 230 FPS respectively, but none offer the visual fidelity of Ultra.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings produce an average of 174 FPS, which is nearly triple the playability threshold. This configuration offers the best visual experience at 1080p while maintaining very high frame rates. The data shows all presets at 1080p are far above 60 FPS, so the choice becomes purely about visual preference rather than performance necessity. The most demanding preset, Ultra, remains the recommended configuration at every resolution tested.
