Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Minimum, a third-person shooter from 2014, shows a clear performance curve across three resolutions and four quality presets. All measurements come directly from the database, with average FPS reported for every configuration, and minimum/maximum FPS recorded only for the Medium preset at each resolution.

At 1920x1080, the combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers its strongest results. The Low preset averages 188 FPS, which is the highest average recorded anywhere in the dataset. Medium follows at 144 FPS average, with a minimum of 122 FPS and a maximum of 165 FPS. High averages 121 FPS, and Ultra drops to 92 FPS. Every preset at this resolution clears the 60 FPS playability threshold by a substantial margin, and even the most demanding setting, Ultra, remains 32 FPS above the threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same hardware shows expected scaling losses. Low averages 121 FPS, a 67 FPS drop from the 1080p result. Medium averages 93 FPS with a minimum of 79 FPS and a maximum of 106 FPS. High averages 78 FPS, and Ultra falls to 59 FPS, which sits just 1 FPS below the playability threshold. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 62 FPS, indicating that the quality preset has a substantial influence on the final frame rate.

At 3840x2160, performance declines further. Low averages 65 FPS, which is the only preset at this resolution to clear the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 50 FPS with a minimum of 42 FPS and a maximum of 57 FPS. High averages 42 FPS, and Ultra averages 32 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steep: Low drops from 121 to 65 FPS, a 46% reduction in average frame rate. Ultra drops from 59 to 32 FPS, a 46% reduction as well. The data shows that 4K Ultra is effectively unplayable with this hardware, while 4K Low remains playable but with no headroom above the threshold.

The Medium preset is the only configuration with complete min/max data, and the spread between minimum and maximum is consistent across resolutions. At 1080p, the spread is 43 FPS (122 to 165). At 1440p, the spread is 27 FPS (79 to 106). At 4K, the spread narrows to 15 FPS (42 to 57). This narrowing suggests that at higher resolutions, the GPU becomes a more consistent bottleneck, reducing the variance between frame times.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high enough that the CPU likely plays a more significant role in determining the final output, particularly at Low settings where the GPU has less work to do. The jump from 188 FPS at Low to 92 FPS at Ultra at 1080p shows that quality settings heavily influence the GPU workload, but even at Ultra, the 92 FPS average suggests the CPU is not holding the system back.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to assert itself as the primary limiting factor. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is not uniform across presets. Low drops from 188 to 121 FPS, a 36% reduction. Medium drops from 144 to 93 FPS, a 35% reduction. High drops from 121 to 78 FPS, a 36% reduction. Ultra drops from 92 to 59 FPS, a 36% reduction. The consistent percentage drop across all presets indicates that the resolution change affects the GPU workload proportionally, regardless of quality setting. This consistency points to the GPU being the dominant constraint at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steep and again consistent across presets. Low drops from 121 to 65 FPS, Medium from 93 to 50 FPS, High from 78 to 42 FPS, and Ultra from 59 to 32 FPS. The percentage reductions range from 46% to 47%, showing that the GPU's rendering workload at 4K overwhelms whatever headroom the CPU provides. The Ryzen 5 5600F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, has ample processing power for a 2014 title, and the data shows no evidence of CPU limitation at any resolution.

The narrowing min/max spread at higher resolutions further supports the GPU-bound conclusion. At 1080p Medium, the spread between minimum and maximum is 43 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the spread is 27 FPS. At 4K Medium, the spread is 15 FPS. A tighter frame time distribution at higher resolutions is characteristic of a GPU that is consistently saturated, whereas a CPU-bound scenario would typically show more variance as the CPU handles variable workloads.

The Verdict

The database verdict is clear: this PC can run Minimum at all three tested resolutions, but only at specific presets. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra averages 92 FPS, High averages 121 FPS, Medium averages 144 FPS, and Low averages 188 FPS. This is the only resolution where the full range of quality settings is playable.

At 2560x1440, three of the four presets are playable. High averages 78 FPS, Medium averages 93 FPS, and Low averages 121 FPS. Ultra averages 59 FPS, which falls just below the 60 FPS threshold. The difference is a single frame per second, so players seeking Ultra at 1440p would experience near-playable performance, but the database threshold is not met.

At 3840x2160, only Low is playable, averaging 65 FPS. Medium averages 50 FPS, High averages 42 FPS, and Ultra averages 32 FPS, all below the threshold. The verdict for 4K is that the system can run the game, but only at the lowest quality preset, with limited headroom above 60 FPS.

The Ryzen 5 5600F, released in 2025, is a modern CPU with a PassMark multi-thread score of 19236 and a single-thread score of 2872. The RTX 2070 SUPER, released in 2019, is an end-of-life GPU with a PassMark G3D score of 18169. For a game released in 2014, this hardware combination is more than sufficient at 1080p and 1440p, and adequate at 4K only with reduced settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F are closely clustered. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 has an average benchmark score of 36938, which is essentially identical to the Ryzen 5 5600F's 36945, a delta of 0%. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018, 0.2% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093, 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112, 0.5% higher. Any of these CPUs would deliver near-identical performance in Minimum, as the differences are within one half of one percent.

For the GPU, the RTX 2070 SUPER's average benchmark score is 20282. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, which is 1% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 1.2% higher. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, 1.3% higher. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 1.5% higher. All four rivals are within 1.5% of the RTX 2070 SUPER, meaning any of them would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum. The Quadro M4000M is a workstation GPU, so its gaming driver support may differ, but the raw benchmark data places it in the same performance tier.

The practical implication is that the measured FPS values for this combo would be a reliable estimate for any of these alternative pairings. A system with an Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and an Intel Arc A750, for example, would likely produce frame rates within a few percent of the numbers recorded here, since both components sit within 1.5% of their respective counterparts.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 92 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, and it does so with 32 FPS of headroom. Players who prefer maximum visual quality at 1080p can enable Ultra without concern.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are High, with an average of 78 FPS. High provides 18 FPS of headroom above the threshold. Ultra at 1440p averages 59 FPS, which is not playable according to the database threshold, so High is the recommended ceiling.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Low, with an average of 65 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that clears the threshold, and it does so with just 5 FPS of headroom. Players at 4K should expect minimal visual quality and limited margin for frame rate drops.

The progression across resolutions shows a consistent pattern: each resolution step down in quality is necessary to maintain playability. At 1080p, Ultra is viable. At 1440p, High is the ceiling. At 4K, Low is the only option. The data suggests that players prioritizing visual fidelity should target 1080p, while those prioritizing resolution should accept lower quality settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's ranking of tested hardware combinations for Minimum, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 2142 out of 3712 total combos. This places it in the 58th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning roughly 42% of tested combos perform better and 58% perform worse.

The rank reflects the GPU's position in the overall hardware landscape. The RTX 2070 SUPER sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the Ryzen 5 5600F sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs. The combo's rank is pulled down by the GPU, which is a 2019 mid-range card that is now end-of-life. The CPU, by contrast, is a modern 2025 release with strong benchmark scores.

For a game released in 2014, the rank of 2142 out of 3712 is respectable. The combination delivers playable frame rates at all three tested resolutions, albeit with quality compromises at 4K. The data shows that this is not a top-tier configuration by any means, but it is more than adequate for Minimum, a title that predates both components by several years. The bottleneck analysis confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, so players with this combo who want better 4K performance would need to upgrade the graphics card rather than the CPU.
