Minimum

This PC configuration, pairing the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, delivers frame rates that far exceed the playable threshold at every tested resolution. The data shows a system with immense headroom for Minimum, a third-person shooter from 2014, allowing for maximum settings even at 4K. The following analysis breaks down the measured performance, optimal settings, and how this combo compares to other hardware.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo shows a consistent pattern: the RTX 4070 SUPER is never the bottleneck at standard gaming resolutions. The only resolution that begins to stress the system is 3840x2160, where the GPU's workload increases significantly.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high across all presets. With Low settings, the average FPS is 271. Moving to Medium yields an average of 237 FPS, with a minimum of 202 and a maximum of 273. The High preset averages 205 FPS, while the most demanding Ultra preset still produces an average of 167 FPS. These numbers suggest that at 1080p, the CPU is likely the limiting factor, as the frame rates are high enough to be constrained by the Ryzen 5 5600G's single-thread performance in certain scenarios.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the performance remains robust. The Low preset averages 240 FPS. Medium settings produce a 190 FPS average, with a minimum of 161 and a maximum of 218. The High preset delivers an average of 143 FPS, and Ultra maintains an average of 117 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable decrease in average FPS, but the system retains a massive performance cushion above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's capabilities are more thoroughly exercised, but the results are still impressive. The Low preset averages 163 FPS. Medium settings see the average drop to 115 FPS, with a minimum of 97 and a maximum of 132. The High preset averages 86 FPS, and the Ultra preset, which is the most demanding setting, still holds an average of 71 FPS. Even at this high resolution, the minimum FPS recorded at Medium settings stays above 90, indicating smooth performance without significant dips.

Best Settings per Resolution

The verdict for this combination is straightforward: it can run Minimum at maximum quality across all tested resolutions. The data in the verdictByResolution field confirms that every resolution and preset combination is playable, meaning the average FPS is above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering an average of 167 FPS. This is far beyond what is needed for a smooth experience, and it allows the player to enjoy the highest visual fidelity without any performance concerns.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset remains the optimal setting, with an average of 117 FPS. This provides excellent visual quality while still maintaining a frame rate that is nearly double the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is again the recommended setting, with an average of 71 FPS. While this is the lowest average FPS of any combination, it still comfortably clears the 60 FPS threshold. The data indicates that this is the most demanding configuration, but it is entirely playable. For players who prefer a higher frame rate at 4K, the High preset offers an average of 86 FPS, and the Medium preset provides a 115 FPS average with a minimum of 97 FPS, which is an excellent option for those seeking a 100+ FPS 4K experience.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance data reveals a clear shift in component roles as resolution changes. At lower resolutions, the CPU plays a more significant role, while at higher resolutions, the GPU becomes the dominant factor.

At 1920x1080, the average FPS differences between presets are relatively small when compared to the differences at 4K. For example, the gap between Low (271 FPS) and Ultra (167 FPS) is 104 FPS. This suggests that the CPU is able to feed the GPU enough data to maintain high frame rates, and the GPU is not the primary bottleneck. The Ryzen 5 5600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, has a PassMark single-thread score of 3177, which is sufficient to drive high FPS in a 2014 title. The CPU's percentile ranking of 74 vs all CPUs indicates it is a solid performer, but the data shows that at 1080p, the system's frame rates are likely limited by the CPU's processing capability in less GPU-intensive scenes.

The transition to 2560x1440 shows a more pronounced impact from the GPU. The average FPS for Low settings drops from 271 to 240 (an 11% decrease), while the Ultra preset drops from 167 to 117 (a 30% decrease). This wider spread between presets at 1440p indicates that the GPU is beginning to handle a larger portion of the rendering workload.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes definitive. The average FPS at Low settings is 163, while at Ultra it is 71. This 56% performance difference between the lowest and highest presets demonstrates that the RTX 4070 SUPER is now the primary performance limiter. The scaling between resolutions confirms this: the Ultra preset drops from 167 FPS at 1080p to 71 FPS at 4K, a significant decline that is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for these workloads, but the raw compute demand of 4K Ultra is what drives the frame rate down to the 71 FPS average.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the benchmark data, the components in this system are closely matched by several others in their respective performance tiers. For the CPU, the nearest rivals are all within a 0.4% performance delta of the Ryzen 5 5600G.

The Intel Core i3-1220P has an average benchmark score of 21066, which is 0.1% higher than the Ryzen 5 5600G's average score of 21088. This means that in synthetic tests, these two processors are effectively identical, and a gamer would see no practical difference in frame rates between them in a game like Minimum.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V scores 21112, which is 0.1% lower than the 5600G. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 21133, 0.2% lower, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U scores 21174, 0.4% lower. These rivals represent the same performance class, so adopting any of them would not change the overall system behavior.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 43223. Its closest competitors are within a 1% range. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB has an average score of 43262, which is 0.1% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43268, also 0.1% lower. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (non-24 GB variant) scores 43301, 0.2% lower. Finally, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile scores 43667, which is 1% higher.

These results indicate that the RTX 4070 SUPER's performance is tightly clustered with these alternatives. A system with a Quadro M6000 or an RTX 4090 Mobile would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Minimum, with the RTX 4090 Mobile offering a negligible 1% performance advantage in synthetic benchmarks.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Minimum. The data shows that every resolution and preset combination tested produces an average frame rate above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

• At 1920x1080, the system is overkill, with the Ultra preset hitting 167 FPS. Any settings can be used without concern.
• At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset still achieves 117 FPS, offering a flawless high-refresh-rate experience.
• At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset maintains a playable 71 FPS average. Even the most demanding scenario is comfortably within playable limits.

The verdictByResolution field lists all settings as playable at every resolution. The most demanding preset, Ultra, clears the 60 FPS bar at 4K with an 11 FPS margin. For players who prioritize higher refresh rates over visual fidelity at 4K, the Medium preset provides a 115 FPS average, which is an excellent alternative. The data confirms that this is a high-performance combination that will not struggle with this game.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Minimum, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 359th out of 3712 tested combos. This places it in the top 9.7% of all tested systems, which is a strong result.

This high ranking is driven by the combination of a capable CPU and a very strong GPU. The RTX 4070 SUPER's percentile ranking of 83 vs all GPUs indicates it is in the top 17% of all graphics cards, while the Ryzen 5 5600G's percentile of 74 places it in the top 26% of CPUs. The synergy of these two components results in a system that is far more capable than what is required for Minimum, even at its most demanding settings. The rank of 359 suggests that there are only a small number of configurations that would deliver meaningfully higher frame rates, and those would likely involve top-tier CPUs and GPUs that are not significantly faster in this specific game's workload.
