Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER in Minimum comes from direct measurements, covering three resolutions and four quality presets. The results are uniformly strong, with every single tested configuration clearing the 60 FPS playability threshold by a substantial margin.

At 1920x1080, the pairing operates at extremely high frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 280.7 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure across the entire test matrix. Medium settings follow closely at 258.4 FPS, while High settings deliver 230.9 FPS. The most demanding preset, Ultra, still manages 173.7 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the RTX 4080 SUPER is never the limiting factor; the CPU is likely responsible for capping the upper ceiling, as the gap between Low and Medium is relatively modest compared to the jump from Medium to Ultra.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance profile remains exceptionally strong. Low settings yield 231.2 FPS, Medium drops to 171.7 FPS, and High sits at 147.7 FPS. Ultra settings produce 112 FPS, which is still more than double the 60 FPS playability threshold. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows an expected reduction, but the magnitude of the drop is moderate: Ultra loses roughly 35% of its average frame rate when moving from 1080p to 1440p, while Low loses about 18%. This suggests that the GPU has enough headroom at lower settings that resolution scaling has less impact, while higher settings begin to stress the graphics pipeline more noticeably.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4080 SUPER continues to deliver playable results across all presets. Low settings produce 123.8 FPS, Medium drops to 94.9 FPS, and High records 76.3 FPS. Ultra settings average 63.1 FPS, which is just barely above the 60 FPS threshold. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steep: Ultra loses about 44% of its frame rate, High loses 48%, and Medium loses 45%. Low settings lose 46%, showing a consistent and significant resolution penalty across the board.

The data shows no min or max FPS values, so the analysis relies entirely on average frame rates. This is worth noting because average figures can mask occasional dips, but given the headroom at most settings, even substantial 1% low drops would likely remain playable. The only configuration where frame pacing could potentially approach the threshold is 4K Ultra, with an average of 63.1 FPS, leaving only about 3 FPS of margin above the playability cutoff.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of 3712 tested CPU and GPU combinations for Minimum, this pairing holds rank 385. That places it in the top 10.4% of all tested combos, which is a strong showing for a system built around a mid-range Ryzen 5 4600G processor paired with a high-end RTX 4080 SUPER.

The ranking reflects the dominant role of the GPU in this title. The RTX 4080 SUPER sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 54209. Its nearest rivals include the RTX 4080 with an average score of 54247 and a delta of -0.1%, along with the Radeon Pro W5700X at 54828 (-1.1%), the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55698 (-2.7%), and the Radeon 8060S at 55757 (-2.8%). The performance differences between these GPUs are minimal, all within roughly 3% of each other, meaning the choice among them would have little practical impact on Minimum's frame rates.

The CPU side tells a different story. The Ryzen 5 4600G sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507. Its nearest rivals are the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE at 17482 (0.1% delta), the Ryzen 3 8300GE at 17614 (-0.6% delta), the Core 7 150U at 17395 (0.6% delta), and the Core i3-14100T at 17648 (-0.8% delta). These are all comparable processors in terms of overall compute capability, and the differences are well within noise margins.

The combination rank of 385 out of 3712 suggests that the GPU is doing most of the heavy lifting. A system with a faster CPU and the same GPU would likely rank higher, but the 4600G's six cores and twelve threads are sufficient to feed the RTX 4080 SUPER adequately at most settings and resolutions. The recorded frame rates show that the CPU does not create a bottleneck severe enough to pull any tested configuration below the playability threshold, though at 1080p Low settings the 280.7 FPS figure likely approaches the CPU's practical limit for this title.

The Verdict

The verdict is unambiguous: this PC can run Minimum without any playability concerns. The database records show that every single tested configuration, across all three resolutions and all four quality presets, clears the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers between 173.7 FPS (Ultra) and 280.7 FPS (Low), providing enormous headroom for high refresh rate monitors. Even the most demanding preset runs at nearly three times the playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, the results remain excellent. Ultra settings average 112 FPS, which is well above 60 FPS and suitable for 144 Hz displays. High settings reach 147.7 FPS, Medium hits 171.7 FPS, and Low reaches 231.2 FPS.

At 3840x2160, this is the only resolution where the system approaches the threshold. Ultra settings average 63.1 FPS, which is playable but leaves little margin for frame time spikes. High settings are more comfortable at 76.3 FPS, while Medium and Low provide 94.9 FPS and 123.8 FPS respectively.

The verdict by resolution is straightforward: 1080p and 1440p are fully cleared with any settings, and 4K is playable at all presets, though Ultra should be approached with some caution given the narrow margin above 60 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide useful reference points for systems that would behave similarly in Minimum.

For the GPU, the RTX 4080 is the closest match, with an average score of 54247 compared to the RTX 4080 SUPER's 54209, a delta of only -0.1%. In practical terms, these two cards would deliver nearly identical frame rates in this game. The Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828 (-1.1%), the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698 (-2.7%), and the Radeon 8060S scores 55757 (-2.8%). All of these GPUs fall within a 3% performance band, meaning any of them would produce similar results when paired with the same CPU.

For the CPU, the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE is the closest rival with an average score of 17482 versus the 4600G's 17507, a delta of 0.1%. The Core 7 150U scores 17395 (0.6% delta), the Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614 (-0.6% delta), and the Core i3-14100T scores 17648 (-0.8% delta). These processors are all within 1% of each other, so swapping among them would produce no meaningful difference in Minimum's performance.

A system built with an RTX 4080 SUPER and any of these rival CPUs would deliver essentially the same frame rates as the tested configuration. Similarly, pairing the Ryzen 5 4600G with an RTX 4080 or any of the listed rival GPUs would yield near-identical results. The practical takeaway is that this performance profile is representative of a broad cluster of hardware, not a unique combination.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS at each resolution is Ultra across the board. The database's verdict confirms that all four settings presets are playable at all three resolutions.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings run at 63.1 FPS, which clears the threshold but with minimal margin. If you prefer more stability, High settings at 76.3 FPS would provide additional headroom for frame time variance. Medium runs at 94.9 FPS and Low at 123.8 FPS.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings deliver 112 FPS, giving you a 52 FPS buffer above the playability threshold. This is the recommended configuration for this resolution, as it provides high visual quality with ample performance for smooth gameplay. High settings run at 147.7 FPS, Medium at 171.7 FPS, and Low at 231.2 FPS.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings average 173.7 FPS, which is nearly three times the playability threshold. This is the clear choice for maximum quality at this resolution. High settings reach 230.9 FPS, Medium hits 258.4 FPS, and Low tops out at 280.7 FPS.

The practical guidance is to use Ultra at every resolution. The only caveat is at 4K, where the 63.1 FPS average leaves just over 3 FPS of headroom; players who are sensitive to frame pacing issues may prefer High settings at that resolution. Every other configuration provides such substantial margins above 60 FPS that the choice of preset comes down to personal preference for visual quality versus raw frame rate.
