Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

Starting with 1920x1080, this combination delivers its strongest results. At Low settings the average frame rate reaches 173.2 FPS, which is an exceptionally high ceiling for a third-person shooter. Medium settings drop the average to 128.6 FPS, still far beyond what a 60 Hz display needs. High settings produce 110.8 FPS on average, and even the most demanding preset, Ultra, maintains an average of 84.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 88.9 FPS, which shows that the preset scaling is substantial but leaves plenty of headroom at every level.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decline but remain strong. Low settings produce 109.2 FPS, which is still well above the playable threshold. Medium settings average 87 FPS, High settings average 72.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 53.7 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 55.5 FPS, a similar proportional reduction to what appears at 1080p. Notably, the 1440p Ultra result falls below the 60 FPS line, which means that particular preset is not viable for smooth play.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes considerably. Low settings average 57.5 FPS, just under the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 47.4 FPS, High settings average 38.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 28.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 29.2 FPS, and every preset fails to reach the playable threshold. The data shows that 4K is not a realistic target for this combo in Minimum, regardless of how far the settings are lowered.

Across all resolutions, the recorded data includes only average FPS values; minimum and maximum frame times were not captured in the measurements. The averages alone, however, tell a clear story about where this system excels and where it runs out of headroom.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence because the GPU can produce frames quickly enough to expose processor limits. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p reduces the average from 173.2 FPS to 84.3 FPS, a 51% decrease, which indicates that the GPU is doing progressively heavier work as settings rise. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads from the Zen 3 architecture, has enough single-thread performance to keep up at these frame rates; its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1541 and Geekbench single-core score of 1989 support that conclusion.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes the primary constraint. Low settings average 109.2 FPS, which is still high, but the gap between Low and Ultra narrows in absolute terms. The RTX 2060 SUPER, with 2176 shading units and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, starts to feel the resolution pressure. Its Passmark G3D score of 16462 places it in the 62nd percentile among all GPUs, which explains why it can handle 1440p at medium and high presets but stumbles at Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is almost entirely the bottleneck. The RTX 2060 SUPER cannot push enough pixels to maintain 60 FPS even at Low settings, where the average sits at 57.5 FPS. The CPU has ample headroom here; its multi-threaded scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 11838 and a Passmark multi-thread score of 21858, are far beyond what this game needs at 4K. The GPU's 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are simply insufficient for 4K in this title.

The preset scaling reinforces this split. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 88.9 FPS, showing that both components have room to flex. At 4K, the difference is only 29.2 FPS, meaning the GPU is already saturated even at Low settings and additional graphical work yields diminishing returns. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution climbs, while the GPU's role becomes dominant.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 84.3 FPS. That is the highest preset available in the measurements, and it clears the threshold by 24.3 FPS, so there is no reason to compromise on visual quality at this resolution.

For 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, averaging 72.1 FPS. That is 12.1 FPS above the 60 FPS line. Ultra at 1440p falls to 53.7 FPS, which is below the threshold, so High is the ceiling for a smooth experience. Low and Medium also work, at 109.2 FPS and 87 FPS respectively, but High offers the best visual fidelity while staying playable.

For 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 57.5 FPS, which is 2.5 FPS short. Medium sits at 47.4 FPS, High at 38.9 FPS, and Ultra at 28.3 FPS. The verdict data confirms that the playable settings list for 4K is empty, and the best settings field is null. This resolution is not viable for Minimum with this hardware.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination ranks 2518 out of 3712 tested combos in Minimum. That puts it in the 32nd percentile of all systems in the database, meaning roughly two-thirds of tested configurations deliver higher frame rates in this game. The ranking reflects the GPU's mid-range position more than the CPU's strength. The Ryzen 5 5600X sits in the 75th percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 2060 SUPER sits in the 62nd percentile among all GPUs. The combo's overall rank is dragged down by the graphics card, which is the limiting factor at higher resolutions and presets.

In practical terms, this rank means the system is not a top-tier performer for Minimum, but it is far from the bottom. The 1080p results, with Ultra averaging 84.3 FPS, show that the combo can handle the game smoothly at the most common resolution. The 1440p results are also respectable, with High at 72.1 FPS. The rank primarily reflects that many other combos can push higher frame rates at 1440p and 4K, where this GPU runs out of steam.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals in the database, the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H has an average benchmark score of 21749, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 5 5600X's average score of 21771. That processor would behave nearly identically in Minimum, so any system using a Ryzen 7 4800H would produce very similar CPU-driven frame rates. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U scores 21874, or 0.5% higher, while the Intel Core i7-11700 scores 21891, also 0.5% higher. The AMD EPYC 9554P scores 21899, 0.6% higher. None of these CPUs differ by more than a fraction of a percent in average benchmark score, so swapping the Ryzen 5 5600X for any of these would not meaningfully change the game's performance. The CPU is not the bottleneck in most scenarios, so these alternatives would deliver nearly identical results.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile has an average score of 18159, which is 0.4% lower than the RTX 2060 SUPER's 18093. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, 0.5% higher, and the AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, 1.5% higher. The Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, 1.6% higher. These deltas are small, meaning a system with any of these GPUs would produce frame rates within a couple percent of the RTX 2060 SUPER in Minimum. The Radeon RX 460 and Arc A770M are technically higher-scoring, but the differences are negligible in real-world gameplay. For practical purposes, these GPUs are direct substitutes.

The combination of any of these CPU and GPU alternatives would yield a system that performs essentially the same as the Ryzen 5 5600X and RTX 2060 SUPER pairing. The 1080p Ultra average of 84.3 FPS would shift by no more than a frame or two, and the 4K results would remain below 60 FPS across all presets.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Minimum? The answer depends entirely on resolution. At 1920x1080, yes, with room to spare. The system clears 60 FPS at every preset, including Ultra at 84.3 FPS. This is the resolution where the combo is most comfortable, and it offers a fully smooth experience at maximum settings.

At 2560x1440, yes, with a caveat. High settings average 72.1 FPS, which is playable and visually strong. Low and Medium also work, at 109.2 FPS and 87 FPS respectively. Ultra at 1440p, however, averages 53.7 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS threshold. Players with a 1440p display should stick to High settings to maintain smoothness.

At 3840x2160, no. Every preset falls below 60 FPS, with the best result being Low at 57.5 FPS. The GPU cannot handle 4K in Minimum, regardless of how far settings are lowered. The verdict data lists no playable settings for 4K, and the best settings field is null. Anyone running a 4K monitor would need to drop to a lower resolution or upgrade the graphics card.

The Ryzen 5 5600X is more than capable for this game, as its 75th percentile CPU ranking and strong multi-thread scores suggest. The RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting factor, particularly at 1440p Ultra and all 4K presets. For 1080p gaming, this combo is excellent. For 1440p, it is good with the right settings. For 4K, it falls short. The data is clear: this system is built for 1080p and mainstream 1440p play, not for 4K.
