Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 delivers a narrow window of playability in Minimum. The recorded data shows that this combination only crosses the 60 FPS threshold at 1920x1080, and only on lower settings. At higher resolutions, the frame rates fall well short of a smooth experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest recorded average is 28 FPS on Low settings, which is far below the target. The other presets are even lower: High averages 18 FPS, Medium averages 22 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. The verdict data confirms that no playable settings exist at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the situation is similar. The best average is 53 FPS on Low settings, which still falls short of 60 FPS. High averages 34 FPS, Medium averages 40 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. No preset at this resolution clears the playable threshold, and the verdict lists no playable settings.

At 1920x1080, the combination finds its only playable configurations. Low settings average 82 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS line. Medium settings average 63 FPS, also clearing the threshold. High settings drop to 53 FPS on average, and Ultra falls to 40 FPS. The verdict identifies Medium as the best playable setting, with an average of 63 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear pattern: the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases. The frame rate drops sharply from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 and again to 3840x2160, which is characteristic of a graphics card that is running out of pixel throughput and memory bandwidth. The RX 570 has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and a 256-bit bus, and the measured results reflect this limitation.

At 1920x1080, the CPU has more headroom to feed the GPU, which is why Low and Medium settings can exceed 60 FPS. The Ryzen 5 7400F, with 6 cores and 12 threads, is not the limiting factor at this resolution. The CPU's benchmark scores (Cinebench R23 multicore 21765, single core 3072) indicate strong processing capability, but the GPU is the deciding element in this game.

When moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates drop by roughly 35% to 40% across all presets compared to 1080p. For example, Low goes from 82 FPS to 53 FPS, and Medium goes from 63 FPS to 40 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU is now the dominant constraint. The CPU is still capable, but the RX 570 cannot maintain the same output at higher pixel counts.

At 3840x2160, the situation becomes more extreme. Even Low settings only average 28 FPS, which is a 66% reduction from the 1080p Low result. The GPU is clearly overwhelmed at this resolution. The 4 GB memory capacity and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for the pixel load, and the frame rates reflect a hard ceiling. The CPU role is essentially moot here; no processor change would recover the lost performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160:

• High: average 18 FPS
• Low: average 28 FPS
• Medium: average 22 FPS, minimum 19 FPS, maximum 25 FPS
• Ultra: average 14 FPS

The Medium preset at this resolution shows the only complete set of min/max values in the data, with a narrow range that indicates the frame pacing is stable but consistently low.

2560x1440:

• High: average 34 FPS
• Low: average 53 FPS
• Medium: average 40 FPS, minimum 34 FPS, maximum 46 FPS
• Ultra: average 26 FPS

The Low preset at 1440p comes close to the playable threshold but does not cross it. The Medium preset shows a 12 FPS spread between min and max, suggesting some variability but no severe stutters.

1920x1080:

• High: average 53 FPS
• Low: average 82 FPS
• Medium: average 63 FPS, minimum 53 FPS, maximum 72 FPS
• Ultra: average 40 FPS

At 1080p, the Medium preset is the highest playable option. Its minimum of 53 FPS is below the 60 FPS average but the average itself clears the threshold. Low settings provide a comfortable margin, with an average of 82 FPS. High and Ultra fall short of the playable line.

FAQ

*Q: Can this PC run Minimum at 4K resolution?*

A: No. At 3840x2160, the highest recorded average is 28 FPS on Low settings. The verdict lists no playable settings at this resolution.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 1920x1080?

A: Medium settings, with an average of 63 FPS. This is the highest preset that stays at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: How does the frame rate scale from 1080p to 1440p?

A: The average frame rate drops by roughly 35% to 40% across presets. For example, Low goes from 82 FPS at 1080p to 53 FPS at 1440p, and Medium goes from 63 FPS to 40 FPS.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the main limitation at 2560x1440?

A: The GPU is the primary limitation. The frame rates drop sharply with resolution, and the RX 570 cannot maintain the 60 FPS target at 1440p even on Low settings.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded in the data?

A: The lowest recorded minimum is 14 FPS, which appears as the average for Ultra settings at 3840x2160. The lowest explicit minimum value is 19 FPS for Medium at 3840x2160.

Q: Does the combination have any playable settings at 2560x1440?

A: No. The best average at 1440p is 53 FPS on Low settings, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict confirms that no playable settings exist at this resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Ryzen 5 7400F sits close to several other processors in average benchmark score. The Intel Core i5-14600T is 0.1% ahead, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is 0.2% ahead, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is 0.3% ahead. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H is 0.2% behind. These rivals would behave similarly in CPU-bound scenarios, though the GPU remains the limiting factor in this game.

For the GPU, the RX 570 is closely matched with several alternatives. The AMD Radeon RX 6800M is 0.4% behind in average score, the AMD Radeon RX 470 is 0.8% behind, and the AMD Radeon R9 M295X is 0.7% ahead. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 is 1.2% ahead. These cards would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum at the same settings, meaning they would also struggle at 1440p and 4K while remaining playable only at 1080p on Low or Medium.

The delta percentages are small, all within 1.2% of the RX 570's average score. This means users with these nearby GPUs should expect the same fundamental performance profile: playable at 1080p on lower presets, unplayable at higher resolutions.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum at 1920x1080 on Low and Medium settings, with averages of 82 FPS and 63 FPS respectively. Medium is the best playable preset, as it offers the highest visual quality while still clearing the 60 FPS threshold. High and Ultra at 1080p fall short, averaging 53 FPS and 40 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system cannot maintain 60 FPS on any preset. The best result is 53 FPS on Low, which is still below the target. At 3840x2160, the combination is not viable, with even Low settings only reaching 28 FPS.

The verdict data confirms this: playable settings exist only at 1920x1080, with Low and Medium listed. For users who prioritize frame rate, 1080p with Medium settings is the recommended configuration. This setup will not handle higher resolutions in Minimum.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 3542 out of 3712 tested combos in Minimum. This places it in the bottom 5% of all configurations in the database. The ranking reflects the GPU's age and memory constraints rather than the CPU, which is a modern 6-core processor in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs.

The low rank is driven by the RX 570's inability to handle higher resolutions. While the CPU is capable, the GPU's 4 GB memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth limit the overall system. The data shows that this combo is only viable for 1080p gaming at lower presets, which explains its position near the bottom of the rankings.

For comparison, the GPU's nearest rivals are all within 1.2% in average score, so any of those alternatives would likely rank similarly. The CPU is not the bottleneck; the GPU is the deciding factor in this pairing.
