Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a thoroughly capable 1080p and 1440p experience in Minimum, a third-person shooter released in 2014. Benchmark results show the combo pushing well beyond the 60 FPS playability threshold at nearly every preset, with only the most demanding 4K settings falling short. This analysis breaks down the measured performance data, component roles, and how this configuration stacks against comparable hardware.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that maintains an average at or above 60 FPS is High, which produces an average of 69 FPS. The data shows a clear gradient here: Low averages 108 FPS, Medium averages 82 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS, but stepping up to Ultra drops the average to 53 FPS, dipping below the playable threshold. High is therefore the ceiling for smooth 4K gameplay.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the system can handle the absolute maximum preset. Ultra settings deliver an average of 98 FPS, comfortably clearing the 60 FPS bar. The lower presets are even more comfortable: Medium averages 153 FPS (min 130, max 176), High averages 128 FPS, and Low reaches 200 FPS. There is no preset limitation at this resolution; the combo is entirely GPU- or CPU-bound before hitting any playability wall.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the best settings are again Ultra, with an average of 152 FPS. This is the resolution where the hardware truly flexes: Medium averages 237 FPS (min 202, max 273), High averages 199 FPS, and Low hits 310 FPS. Every preset here is far beyond the 60 FPS target, making 1080p a non-issue for this configuration.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals that the GPU is the dominant factor at 4K, while the CPU becomes increasingly relevant at lower resolutions. At 4K, dropping from Ultra (53 FPS) to High (69 FPS) yields a 30% improvement, and moving to Medium (82 FPS) adds another 19% over High. This steep sensitivity to settings indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 3840x2160, as reducing graphical load directly translates to large frame rate gains.

At 1440p, the picture changes. Ultra averages 98 FPS, but High only drops to 128 FPS — a 31% difference from Ultra. Medium (153 FPS) and Low (200 FPS) continue scaling nearly linearly. The fact that the gap between Ultra and Low is over 2x (98 vs 200) suggests the GPU still matters greatly, but the CPU begins to exert influence as the resolution decreases.

At 1080p, the CPU role becomes more pronounced. The spread from Ultra (152 FPS) to Low (310 FPS) is more than 2x, but the absolute numbers are so high that neither component is a limiting factor for playability. The Ryzen 5 7400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides enough headroom to feed the RTX 4070 SUPER at these frame rates. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and single-core score of 3072 indicate strong per-thread performance, which is critical for older titles like Minimum that may not scale perfectly across many cores.

Between 1080p and 1440p, the average FPS at Ultra drops from 152 to 98, a 36% reduction. Between 1440p and 4K at Ultra, it falls from 98 to 53, a 46% reduction. This increasing penalty as resolution climbs confirms the GPU is the limiting factor at higher pixel counts, while the CPU maintains sufficient performance to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at 1080p's high frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160:

• Low: Average 108 FPS (min/max not reported)
• Medium: Average 82 FPS, minimum 70 FPS, maximum 95 FPS
• High: Average 69 FPS (min/max not reported)
• Ultra: Average 53 FPS (min/max not reported)

At 4K, the Medium preset shows a narrow min-to-max range of 70-95 FPS, indicating consistent frame pacing. The Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay. High remains the sweet spot, offering a 16% improvement over Ultra's average.

2560x1440:

• Low: Average 200 FPS (min/max not reported)
• Medium: Average 153 FPS, minimum 130 FPS, maximum 176 FPS
• High: Average 128 FPS (min/max not reported)
• Ultra: Average 98 FPS (min/max not reported)

1440p shows excellent headroom across all presets. The Medium preset's minimum of 130 FPS is more than double the playability threshold, and even Ultra's 98 FPS average leaves a comfortable margin. The min-max spread at Medium (130-176) suggests occasional dips, but nothing that would cause perceptible stuttering.

1920x1080:

• Low: Average 310 FPS (min/max not reported)
• Medium: Average 237 FPS, minimum 202 FPS, maximum 273 FPS
• High: Average 199 FPS (min/max not reported)
• Ultra: Average 152 FPS (min/max not reported)

At 1080p, the hardware is clearly overkill for Minimum. Even the lowest measured minimum (Medium's 202 FPS) exceeds the highest 4K average. The frame rates scale predictably with settings, but the absolute values are so high that any preset would provide a flawless experience on a standard 60 Hz or even 144 Hz display.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the Intel Core i5-14600T scores an average of 32707 in benchmark tests, a mere 0.1% difference from the Ryzen 5 7400F's 32750 average. This means the i5-14600T would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum, assuming the GPU remains the same. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (avg 32697, delta 0.2%) and AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (avg 32662, delta 0.3%) are similarly close, all within a fraction of a percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (avg 32812, delta -0.2%) is the only rival that scores slightly higher, but by less than a half percent.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are all within 1% of the RTX 4070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 43223. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (avg 43262, delta -0.1%) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (avg 43268, delta -0.1%) are effectively identical in raw performance. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (avg 43301, delta -0.2%) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (avg 43667, delta -1%) round out the list. In practice, swapping the RTX 4070 SUPER for any of these would change FPS by roughly 1% or less, meaning users with these GPUs can expect the same playability verdicts at all resolutions.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Minimum with ease. The verdict data confirms that at 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with the best settings being Ultra at 152 FPS average. At 2560x1440, every preset also clears the 60 FPS bar, with Ultra still delivering 98 FPS average. At 3840x2160, the system remains playable on Low (108 FPS), Medium (82 FPS), and High (69 FPS), but Ultra drops to 53 FPS, failing to meet the threshold.

For users targeting 60 FPS as a hard floor, the optimal configurations are: 4K High (69 FPS), 1440p Ultra (98 FPS), and 1080p Ultra (152 FPS). The only scenario where the system cannot hit 60 FPS is 4K Ultra, which is a demanding outlier for a 2014 title. Even at that setting, the average of 53 FPS is close to playable, and lowering to High provides a stable experience.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested combinations in the database, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 644th out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. This places it in the top 17.4% of all configurations tested, which is a strong result given the game's age and the hardware's modern capabilities. The rank reflects that while many newer or higher-end combos may achieve higher raw frame rates, this system is far above the median performer and will handle the game at high settings across most resolutions.

The percentile rankings support this: the CPU sits at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU also sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs. This alignment means neither component is a weak link; the system is balanced for this workload. The combo rank of 644 is consistent with what one would expect from two 83rd-percentile parts, as the combination performs better than the vast majority of systems while trailing only top-tier enthusiast builds.
