Minimum

The pairing of an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a mid-range combination by any modern measure, and the recorded data for Minimum, a third-person shooter released in mid-2014, shows it handles the game comfortably at 1080p and 1440p while requiring settings discipline at 4K. The database contains measured average frame rates across three resolutions and four presets for this exact pairing, and the results paint a clear picture: this is a GPU-limited scenario at higher resolutions, with plenty of CPU headroom to spare.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All figures below are measured average frame rates from our recorded runs of this specific Ryzen 5 5600 + RTX 2060 SUPER configuration. Minimum and maximum frame rates were not captured for these runs, so the averages are the reliable indicator of expected performance.

At 1920x1080, the combo is fast across the board. Low settings deliver 171.3 FPS, Medium rises to a still-silly 128.5 FPS, High holds 109.8 FPS, and even Ultra manages 81 FPS on average. Every preset at 1080p clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with a wide margin, and Ultra clears it by over a third.

At 2560x1440, the numbers scale down as expected but remain strong. Low averages 111.3 FPS, Medium 84.2 FPS, and High 68.7 FPS. Ultra drops to 54.2 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold, so the cutoff for maxed-out visuals sits one notch below the top preset at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2060 SUPER runs out of headroom. Low settings average 61.2 FPS, a marginal pass over the threshold. Medium falls to 45.4 FPS, High to 36.4 FPS, and Ultra to 29.2 FPS. Only the Low preset is playable at 4K, and just barely.

The stepwise pattern is consistent and predictable: each jump in resolution roughly costs a third of the frame rate, and each jump in preset quality costs a similar slice. There are no anomalies in the data, which suggests a well-behaved engine without settings that cause cliff-edge performance drops.

FAQ

Q: Can the Ryzen 5 5600 + RTX 2060 SUPER run Minimum at 60 FPS?

A: Yes, at 1080p on every preset (Ultra averages 81 FPS) and at 1440p on Low, Medium, and High (High averages 68.7 FPS). At 4K, only Low settings clear the bar at 61.2 FPS average.

Q: What is the best-looking setting this PC can run at 4K?

A: Low, at 61.2 FPS average. Medium at 4K drops to 45.4 FPS, well under the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How much performance is lost going from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra?

A: The average falls from 81 FPS to 54.2 FPS, a drop large enough to push Ultra below the playable threshold at 1440p.

Q: Is the CPU a bottleneck in this game?

A: The data indicates no. Frame rates scale heavily with resolution and preset, which is the signature of GPU limitation. The Ryzen 5 5600 sits in the 74th percentile of all CPUs in the database and posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18309 and a single-core score of 2584, far more than a 2014 third-person shooter demands.

Q: How does this combo rank against other tested pairings for this game?

A: It ranks 2633 out of 3712 tested combinations, placing it in the back half of the field. That ranking reflects the age of the RTX 2060 SUPER relative to newer cards in the database, not a failure to run the game.

Q: Does the RTX 2060 SUPER support the APIs this game needs?

A: The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, which covers everything a game from this era could ask for.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling data makes the division of labor obvious. Going from 1080p Low to 4K Low drops the average from 171.3 FPS to 61.2 FPS, a reduction of nearly two-thirds, without any change in CPU workload. If the Ryzen 5 5600 were the limiting factor, resolution changes would move the frame rate far less. The same pattern holds within presets: at 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra costs 90.3 FPS, while at 4K the same settings change costs only 32 FPS, a sign the GPU is saturated in both cases and simply has less to lose once it is already running slowly.

The Ryzen 5 5600 brings credentials that are overkill for this title. It is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3 (Vermeer) part on a 7 nm TSMC process, boosting to 4.40 GHz with 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Its database rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (within 0.1 percent of its average benchmark score), the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (0.2 percent behind), the AMD EPYC 9454P, and the AMD EPYC 7713, which places it in respectable company in the 74th percentile of all CPUs. None of that muscle is needed here. A third-person shooter from this period simply does not load a modern 12-thread CPU meaningfully, and the measured data confirms it: every performance lever that matters is on the GPU side.

The RTX 2060 SUPER, a Turing card on the TU106 chip with 2176 shading units, 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, and 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth, sits in the 62nd percentile of all GPUs. Its database rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, the AMD Radeon Pro 5700, the AMD Radeon RX 460, and the Intel Arc A770M, all clustered within roughly 2 percent of its average score. That mid-pack GPU standing is exactly what the game data reflects: strong at 1080p, adequate at 1440p, and stretched at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

Against the 3712 combinations tested for this game in the database, this pairing ranks 2633. That is a below-median result, and it is worth understanding why. The ranking is dominated by GPU throughput, and the RTX 2060 SUPER, while competent, is an end-of-life card from the GeForce 20 series that the database places in the 62nd percentile of all GPUs. The Ryzen 5 5600 does not drag the ranking down at all; at the 74th percentile versus all CPUs, it contributes no measurable bottleneck at any resolution or preset tested.

Practically, the ranking means many tested systems will post higher average frame rates, particularly at 1440p and 4K where GPU strength is everything. But rankings measure headroom, not playability. This combo clears 60 FPS at 1080p on every preset and at 1440p on three of four presets, which covers the realistic use case for this hardware.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Minimum, with one caveat tied to resolution.

At 1920x1080, the verdict is unqualified: every preset from Low through Ultra is playable, with Ultra averaging 81 FPS. A 1080p monitor owner can max the game out and never think about settings again.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is positive with one exclusion: Low (111.3 FPS), Medium (84.2 FPS), and High (68.7 FPS) all clear 60 FPS, while Ultra at 54.2 FPS does not. Dropping one preset from maximum is the only adjustment required.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is marginal. Only Low settings are playable, at 61.2 FPS average, a slim 1.2 FPS over the threshold. Medium at 45.4 FPS is not a realistic option for smooth play. Anyone targeting 4K with this hardware should treat Low as the ceiling, not a starting point.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the measured data, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is:

• 1920x1080: Ultra, averaging 81 FPS. No compromises needed. Even the heaviest preset clears the threshold by 21 FPS.
• 2560x1440: High, averaging 68.7 FPS. Ultra falls short at 54.2 FPS, so High is the ceiling, and it holds a comfortable 8.7 FPS margin over the threshold.
• 3840x2160: Low, averaging 61.2 FPS. The only preset that clears 60 FPS at 4K, and only by 1.2 FPS. Medium's 45.4 FPS average makes it unplayable by the database standard.

The practical takeaway: play at 1080p Ultra or 1440p High. Those two configurations represent the sweet spots where this Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 2060 SUPER pairing delivers smooth, above-threshold performance without pushing the GPU into its clearly measured limits at 4K.
