Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Minimum, a 2014 third-person shooter. The data shows this pairing is far beyond the requirements for smooth gameplay at any tested resolution, with the RTX 4080 providing the overwhelming majority of the performance headroom. The measured results are clear: at every resolution and preset combination, average frame rates stay well above the 60 FPS playability threshold, often by a factor of two or more.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows frame rates that exceed what most displays can even refresh. With Low settings, the average FPS hits 356, making the experience essentially CPU-bound in a scenario where the GPU is barely taxed. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 273 FPS, with the measured minimum at 232 FPS and maximum at 313 FPS. High settings still produce an average of 229 FPS, while Ultra settings, the most demanding preset, deliver an average of 174 FPS. Even at this highest preset, the frame rate is nearly three times the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the RTX 4080 is operating far from its limits.

At 2560x1440, the resolution increase begins to engage the GPU more meaningfully, but the results remain exceptionally high. The Low preset averages 230 FPS. Medium settings produce an average of 176 FPS, with a minimum of 149 FPS and a maximum of 202 FPS. High settings average 148 FPS, and Ultra settings still deliver a robust 112 FPS average. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable performance reduction, but the margins are so large that any preset remains completely playable with substantial headroom for high refresh-rate monitors.

At 3840x2160, or 4K, the RTX 4080’s capabilities are more fully utilized, but the performance remains excellent. The Low preset averages 124 FPS. Medium settings average 95 FPS, with a minimum of 80 FPS and a maximum of 109 FPS. High settings average 79 FPS, while the Ultra preset, the most demanding configuration, still averages 61 FPS. The minimum FPS at Medium settings is 80, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that even the most demanding scenes will not cause noticeable stutter. The Ultra preset’s 61 FPS average is the only data point that sits precariously close to the threshold, but it still clears it.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the measured data, the best settings for each resolution are the most demanding presets that maintain an average of at least 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, with an average of 174 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and the performance is more than sufficient for any high-refresh-rate gaming scenario.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is also the best, yielding an average of 112 FPS. This provides the full visual experience while maintaining a frame rate that is ideal for 144Hz displays.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is again the best, with an average of 61 FPS. This is the only scenario where the system approaches the limit of the 60 FPS threshold, but it does clear it. For a strictly 60 FPS experience with maximum visual fidelity, this is the setting to use. If a user prefers more headroom, the High preset at 79 FPS average would be a more comfortable option, but the data confirms that Ultra is technically playable.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The benchmark database places the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F in a performance tier with several other processors. The Intel Core i5-14600T has an average score that is 0.1% higher, meaning the 7400F and the 14600T are effectively identical in multi-threaded performance. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores 0.2% higher, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 scores 0.3% higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H is the closest rival, scoring 0.2% lower. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum, as the game’s CPU demands are easily met by all of them.

For the GPU, the nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, with a delta of 0.1% higher average score. This means the RTX 4080 SUPER would perform almost exactly the same in this title. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 1.1% lower, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 2.6% lower. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 2.7% lower. While the two AMD options lag behind by a few percentage points in synthetic benchmarks, their real-world impact on Minimum would likely be minimal, given that the RTX 4080 already delivers frame rates far above the playable threshold. However, the data indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER is the only true equivalent in this group for absolute performance parity.

The Verdict

The data clearly answers the question: yes, this PC can run Minimum without issue. The verdict by resolution confirms that all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at every tested resolution, from 1920x1080 up to 3840x2160.

At 1920x1080, the system is effectively overkill. Even Ultra settings produce an average of 174 FPS, which is far beyond the needs of most users. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 112 FPS, providing an excellent balance of visual quality and speed. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 61 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold but leaves little room for variance in more demanding scenes. The Medium preset at 4K, with an average of 95 FPS and a minimum of 80 FPS, is the safest option for a locked 60 FPS experience with high visual quality. The system’s performance in this game is so high that the primary consideration is not whether it can run, but rather whether the display can keep up with the frame rates being produced.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals that the GPU is the dominant component in Minimum, but only at higher resolutions. The difference between the 1080p and 1440p results is significant; for example, the Ultra preset drops from 174 FPS at 1080p to 112 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 62 FPS. The jump from 1440p to 4K is even more dramatic, with the Ultra preset falling from 112 FPS to 61 FPS, a reduction of 51 FPS. This steep decline as resolution increases is the classic signature of a GPU-bound workload.

At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a larger role. The Low preset averages 356 FPS, which is an extraordinarily high number that suggests the frame rate is being limited by the CPU’s ability to process draw calls and game logic, rather than the GPU’s rendering capabilities. The Ryzen 5 7400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is clearly sufficient for this task, but the difference between the Low preset’s 356 FPS and the Ultra preset’s 174 FPS at the same resolution shows that the GPU still has a significant impact on the final frame rate. However, the margin is much smaller than at 4K.

The data indicates that for Minimum, the RTX 4080 is the component that determines whether you can run the highest settings at 4K. The CPU’s performance is important for achieving maximum frame rates at 1080p, but it is not a bottleneck at any playable setting. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and a single-core score of 3072, ensure that it has ample processing power to feed the GPU in this older title.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 246 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. This places it in the top 7% of all configurations tested, which is an excellent result. The high ranking is primarily driven by the RTX 4080’s raw performance, which is in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. The CPU, while less impactful for this game, is still a strong performer, sitting in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs.

The ranking indicates that this system outperforms the vast majority of hardware combinations that have been benchmarked in this title. The only configurations that would rank higher would likely feature a more powerful GPU, such as the RTX 4080 SUPER, which is the closest rival, or higher-tier cards from other generations. Given that the game is from 2014, the system’s performance is far beyond what the game’s original hardware requirements would have anticipated. The combination of a modern mid-range CPU and a high-end GPU ensures that this system will run Minimum with maximum settings and exceptional frame rates at any resolution, making it a highly capable setup for this game.
