Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 is a combination built around a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3 processor and a discrete RDNA 3.0 graphics card. For Minimum, a 2014 third-person shooter, the benchmark data shows this combo delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but not at 4K. The results below break down the measured performance, ranking, and component roles.

FAQ

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals in general benchmark scores?

A: The Radeon RX 7600's average benchmark score is 15171. It is 0.2% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, 0.6% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 560X, 0.7% behind the AMD Radeon 680M, and 0.7% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti.

How This Combo Ranks

The benchmark database places this specific CPU-GPU pairing at rank 2524 out of 3712 tested combinations for Minimum. This position indicates that while the system is certainly capable of running the game, a substantial portion of the tested hardware pool delivers higher frame rates. The rank reflects the combined performance of the Ryzen 5 5600G and RX 7600, which is a mid-range pairing relative to the entire field. The CPU itself sits at the 74th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU is at the 57th percentile among all tested graphics cards. This suggests the CPU is a relatively stronger component than the GPU in this context, but the overall combo rank is pulled down by the GPU's more modest standing. The data shows this is not a top-tier configuration for Minimum, but it is far from the bottom, as the 2524 rank places it above roughly 32% of the 3712 tested systems.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling across resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the CPU and GPU. At 1920x1080, the system is likely more CPU-bound, as evidenced by the large FPS headroom. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p only reduces the average from 173.7 FPS to 85.4 FPS, a drop of 88.3 FPS. This indicates the GPU is handling the increased graphical load, but the CPU is still feeding it enough data to maintain high frame rates. Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU begins to become the limiting factor. The average FPS at 1440p Ultra is 52.1, down from 85.4 at 1080p Ultra, a reduction of 33.3 FPS. This is a more significant drop than the 28.4 FPS decrease seen when moving from 1080p Low (173.7) to 1440p Low (108.4). At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. The average FPS at 4K Ultra is 30.4, which is 21.7 FPS lower than the 1440p Ultra result. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 26.2 FPS (from 56.6 to 30.4), showing that even on Low settings, the GPU cannot maintain 60 FPS. The data indicates that for Minimum, the CPU is more than adequate at all resolutions, while the GPU dictates whether the system meets the 60 FPS target at higher resolutions and presets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in average benchmark score are all within a 0.4% performance delta. The Intel Core i3-1220P scores 21066, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 5 5600G's 21088. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V scores 21112, a 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 21133, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U scores 21174. These four alternatives would behave nearly identically to the 5600G in Minimum, meaning any of them paired with the RX 7600 would likely produce similar FPS results. For the GPU, the nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM with an average score of 15199 (0.2% higher than the RX 7600), the AMD Radeon Pro 560X at 15082 (0.6% lower), the AMD Radeon 680M at 15270 (0.7% higher), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti at 15063 (0.7% lower). These GPUs would deliver within a fraction of a percent of the RX 7600's performance in Minimum, making them suitable substitutes if the user has one of these cards installed. The data suggests that swapping the CPU for any of the listed rivals would have no meaningful impact on gameplay, and the same applies to swapping the GPU for its closest competitors.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra. The measured average at this setting is 85.4 FPS. Lower presets also clear the threshold, with High at 110.8 FPS, Medium at 134.1 FPS, and Low at 173.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, which achieves an average of 71.5 FPS. Medium runs at 82.5 FPS and Low at 108.4 FPS, both above 60 FPS, but Ultra falls to 52.1 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 56.6 FPS, followed by Medium at 44.4 FPS, High at 39.6 FPS, and Ultra at 30.4 FPS. For users prioritizing smooth gameplay, 1080p Ultra is the optimal choice as it provides the highest visual quality without sacrificing the 60 FPS target. At 1440p, High is the best compromise between visual fidelity and performance, while 4K is not viable for a 60 FPS experience with this hardware.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum at 60 FPS or higher, but only at certain resolutions and settings. The verdict by resolution is straightforward. At 1920x1080, all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, with the best being Ultra at 85.4 FPS average. At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: Low, Medium, and High, with High being the best at 71.5 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p does not clear the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the system fails to reach 60 FPS on any preset, with the highest average being 56.6 FPS on Low. Therefore, the system is fully capable for 1080p gaming at maximum settings and for 1440p gaming at high settings. For 4K, it falls short of the playable standard, and users would need to lower resolution or accept sub-60 FPS frame rates. The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600G and RX 7600 combination is a solid choice for 1080p and 1440p gameplay in Minimum, but not for 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average frame rates are as follows: Low preset runs at 173.7 FPS, Medium at 134.1 FPS, High at 110.8 FPS, and Ultra at 85.4 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a steady decline, with the largest single drop occurring between Medium and High, a decrease of 23.3 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 88.3 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset imposes a significant additional load on the GPU compared to Low.

At 2560x1440, the average frame rates are: Low at 108.4 FPS, Medium at 82.5 FPS, High at 71.5 FPS, and Ultra at 52.1 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 11 FPS, while the drop from High to Ultra is 19.4 FPS. This suggests that the Ultra preset at 1440p is particularly demanding, pushing the system below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are: Low at 56.6 FPS, Medium at 44.4 FPS, High at 39.6 FPS, and Ultra at 30.4 FPS. None of these reach 60 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is 12.2 FPS, and between Medium and High is 4.8 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra is 9.2 FPS. The data shows that even the lowest preset at 4K falls short of the playable threshold, confirming that this resolution is not viable for this hardware combination in Minimum.
