Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers a playable experience in Minimum at 1080p and 1440p, but it falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K. The recorded data shows that 1920x1080 is the only resolution where the Ultra preset clears 60 FPS, while 2560x1440 tops out at High settings. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the playable threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces its strongest results. The Low preset averages 170 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure for this pairing. Medium settings drop to an average of 130 FPS, with a minimum of 111 FPS and a maximum of 150 FPS. High settings average 109 FPS, while Ultra averages 83 FPS. All four presets at 1080p sit comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold, and even the most demanding preset leaves substantial headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates scale down but remain playable across most presets. Low settings average 110 FPS. Medium settings produce an average of 84 FPS, with a minimum of 71 FPS and a maximum of 97 FPS. High settings average 71 FPS, which is the best playable preset at this resolution. Ultra drops to an average of 54 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings average 59 FPS, just one frame shy of the playable threshold. Medium settings average 45 FPS, with a minimum of 38 FPS and a maximum of 52 FPS. High settings average 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS. The data indicates that 4K is not viable for this combination, as even the lowest preset fails to sustain 60 FPS.

The frame time data, where recorded, shows consistency at the playable settings. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 111 FPS indicates that the combination holds its performance well under load. At 1440p Medium, the minimum of 71 FPS stays above the threshold despite the average being 84 FPS. The 4K Medium preset shows a tighter spread, but the average is too low to matter.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high enough across all presets that the CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is likely the limiting factor in the most demanding settings. The Ultra preset at 83 FPS versus the Low preset at 170 FPS shows a 87 FPS drop when moving to maximum quality, which suggests the GPU is being pushed harder, but the CPU still has enough headroom to keep frames high.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take a more prominent role. The drop from Low at 110 FPS to Ultra at 54 FPS is a 56 FPS reduction, and the fact that Medium stays at 84 FPS while High sits at 71 FPS indicates a steady GPU-bound progression. The CPU, which scored 2872 in the passmark single-thread test, can clearly feed the GPU at these settings, as the frame rates scale predictably with the graphical load.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is entirely dominant. The RTX 2060 SUPER, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, is overwhelmed by the pixel count. The difference between Low at 59 FPS and Ultra at 29 FPS is a 30 FPS spread, and the CPU's role is minimal. The Ryzen 5 5600F, which sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, is not the bottleneck here; the Turing architecture GPU simply runs out of compute and memory bandwidth.

The data shows that the CPU matters most at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 100 FPS on lower presets, and the GPU matters most at 4K, where the combination struggles to reach 60 FPS even on Low. At 1440p, the balance is closer, but the GPU still dictates the ceiling.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Ultra, which averages 83 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, and it does so with a comfortable 23 FPS margin. The data shows that all four presets are playable, but Ultra offers the highest visual quality while remaining well above the threshold.

For 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, which averages 71 FPS. This preset clears the 60 FPS threshold by 11 FPS. The Medium preset averages 84 FPS, but High provides better visual fidelity at a still-playable frame rate. Ultra at 54 FPS is not viable, as it falls 6 FPS short of the threshold.

For 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. The Low setting comes closest with an average of 59 FPS, but it misses the 60 FPS mark by a single frame. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall further behind, with averages of 45 FPS, 38 FPS, and 29 FPS respectively. The verdict data confirms this, listing no playable settings at this resolution.

The recorded data indicates that the best settings scale with resolution: Ultra at 1080p, High at 1440p, and no viable option at 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F, based on average benchmark scores, are all within a very tight margin. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 has an average score of 36938, which matches the Ryzen 5 5600F's 36945 with a delta of 0%. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018, a 0.2% difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093, a 0.4% difference, and the Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112, a 0.5% difference. Any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically in Minimum, as the performance delta is within a fraction of a percent.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, the nearest rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile scores 18159, which is 0.4% lower than the RTX 2060 SUPER's 18093. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, a 0.5% difference. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, a 1.5% difference, and the Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, a 1.6% difference. These GPUs would produce nearly the same frame rates in Minimum, meaning a system with any of these alternatives would land within a few frames of the measured results.

The data suggests that swapping either component for its nearest rival would not meaningfully change the playability verdict. The 1080p Ultra result of 83 FPS, the 1440p High result of 71 FPS, and the 4K failure would all remain essentially unchanged.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but it cannot run the game at 3840x2160 with playable frame rates. At 1080p, the combination clears the 60 FPS threshold on every preset, with Ultra averaging 83 FPS. At 1440p, High is the best playable preset at 71 FPS, while Ultra falls to 54 FPS. At 4K, the Low preset averages 59 FPS, which misses the threshold by one frame, and all other presets are further below.

The verdict data confirms this breakdown. For 1920x1080, the playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with Ultra as the best setting at 83 FPS. For 2560x1440, the playable settings include High, Low, and Medium, with High as the best setting at 71 FPS. For 3840x2160, no playable settings exist.

The practical takeaway is that this system is a solid 1080p machine for Minimum, capable of running maximum settings with headroom. At 1440p, it is a high-settings machine, but users must dial back from Ultra. At 4K, the hardware is not sufficient, and the game will not sustain 60 FPS on any preset.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 3712 combinations tested in the database, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks at position 2602. This places it in the lower third of tested systems, which is consistent with the measured performance: it handles 1080p and 1440p well, but it is not a high-end configuration.

The rank reflects the overall performance across all tested games, not just Minimum. In this specific title, the combination's ability to hit 83 FPS at 1080p Ultra and 71 FPS at 1440p High is respectable for a mid-range pairing. However, the 4K failure and the 1440p Ultra shortfall prevent it from climbing higher in the rankings.

The percentile data reinforces this position. The CPU sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, which is strong, but the GPU sits in the 62nd percentile of all GPUs, which is more middling. The combination rank of 2602 out of 3712 suggests that the GPU holds the system back, especially at higher resolutions. For Minimum specifically, the 1080p experience is good, but the system lacks the GPU headroom to push beyond that comfortably.
