Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Minimum, a third-person shooter released in 2014. Measured data for this combination shows that every tested resolution and preset clears the 60 FPS playability threshold, with headroom to spare. The following analysis breaks down the measured FPS, ranking, component roles, and optimal settings based solely on the provided benchmark information.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions—3840x2160 (4K), 2560x1440 (1440p), and 1920x1080 (1080p)—each with four presets: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. For Medium, both minimum and maximum FPS are recorded; for the other presets, only average FPS is provided.

At 4K, the average FPS ranges from 67 on Ultra to 137 on Low. Specifically, Low averages 137 FPS, Medium averages 105 FPS with a minimum of 89 and a maximum of 120, High averages 88 FPS, and Ultra averages 67 FPS. Even the most demanding preset at 4K stays comfortably above 60 FPS, leaving a modest margin of 7 FPS. The Medium preset shows a frame time variance of 31 FPS between its minimum and maximum, indicating some fluctuation but still well within playable territory.

At 1440p, performance increases substantially. Low averages 254 FPS, Medium averages 194 FPS (min 165, max 223), High averages 163 FPS, and Ultra averages 124 FPS. All presets exceed 120 FPS on average, with the lowest recorded minimum (165 FPS) still more than double the playability threshold. The Medium preset’s min–max spread of 58 FPS is wider than at 4K, but the absolute values remain high.

At 1080p, the combination reaches very high frame rates. Low averages 392 FPS, Medium averages 301 FPS (min 256, max 347), High averages 253 FPS, and Ultra averages 193 FPS. The minimum FPS for Medium (256) is still above the average of many other systems at lower resolutions. The data shows a clear scaling pattern: as resolution decreases, average FPS increases roughly proportionally, but the relative differences between presets also grow. For instance, at 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 199 FPS, whereas at 4K the same gap is 70 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this CPU–GPU pair ranks 145th out of 3,712 total combos. That places it in the top 145 of all tested systems, a strong position for a 2014 title. The CPU itself holds an 83rd percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 88th percentile among all GPUs. This suggests the GPU is slightly more capable relative to its peers than the CPU is relative to its own peers.

The nearest rival CPUs to the Ryzen 5 7400F are the Intel Core i5-14600T (average benchmark score 32,707, delta +0.1%), the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (32,697, +0.2%), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (32,812, –0.2%), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (32,662, +0.3%). All four have average scores within 0.3% of the Ryzen 5 7400F’s average of 32,750, meaning any of them would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Minimum.

On the GPU side, the nearest rivals to the RTX 4090 are the Intel Arc Pro A60 (average score 60,326, delta 0%), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (60,140, +0.3%), the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (61,896, –2.5%), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 (58,657, +2.9%). The RTX 4090’s average score is 60,347, so the closest competitor (Arc Pro A60) is essentially identical. The largest delta among these rivals is 2.9%, meaning even the most divergent alternative would be within a few percent of the 4090’s overall GPU performance.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems?

A: It ranks 145th out of 3,712 tested combinations, placing it in the top 145 of the database.

Q: What are the minimum and maximum FPS recorded for 1080p Medium settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the minimum FPS is 256 and the maximum is 347, with an average of 301 FPS.

Q: Which component is more powerful relative to its peers—the CPU or the GPU?

A: The GPU has a higher percentile (88th) compared to the CPU (83rd), indicating the RTX 4090 is more exceptional within its product class than the Ryzen 5 7400F is within its own class.

Q: Are there any CPUs that would perform nearly identically to the Ryzen 5 7400F in this game?

A: Yes. The Intel Core i5-14600T, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, and AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 all have average benchmark scores within 0.3% of the Ryzen 5 7400F, so they would behave very similarly in CPU-bound scenarios.

The Verdict

The answer is a definitive yes. According to the verdict by resolution, all three tested resolutions—4K, 1440p, and 1080p—have all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) marked as playable. The best settings at each resolution, meaning the most demanding preset that still averages at least 60 FPS, is Ultra in every case. At 4K, Ultra averages 67 FPS; at 1440p, Ultra averages 124 FPS; and at 1080p, Ultra averages 193 FPS. Even the lowest average FPS recorded across the entire dataset—4K Ultra at 67 FPS—leaves a 7 FPS buffer above the 60 FPS threshold. This combination is not merely playable; it delivers high refresh rate experiences at 1440p and 1080p, and a solid 60+ FPS experience at 4K with maximum settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Minimum. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 392. Dropping to 1440p Low reduces that to 254 FPS, and further to 4K Low brings it to 137 FPS. This steep decline with increasing resolution—about a 65% reduction from 1080p to 4K—indicates that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts. The RTX 4090, while extremely powerful, still sees its frame rate halved when moving from 1440p to 4K at the same preset.

The impact of preset settings is also telling. At 4K, the difference between Low (137 FPS) and Ultra (67 FPS) is 70 FPS. At 1080p, the same preset change yields a 199 FPS difference (392 to 193). This larger absolute gap at lower resolutions suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to allow the GPU’s performance to scale with graphics settings. At 1080p, the GPU is not fully saturated at Low settings, so raising the preset increases GPU load and reduces FPS more dramatically. At 4K, the GPU is already heavily loaded even on Low, so the additional strain from higher presets has a smaller absolute effect.

The CPU’s role is more prominent at lower resolutions, where the frame rates are extremely high. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s six cores and twelve threads, combined with a 4.70 GHz boost clock, are sufficient to sustain over 390 FPS at 1080p Low. As resolution increases, the GPU takes over as the limiting factor, and the CPU’s contribution becomes less critical. The data shows that this combo is balanced enough to avoid CPU bottlenecks even at the highest frame rates recorded, but the GPU is clearly the component that determines the ceiling at 4K.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the measured data, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is Ultra in all cases. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 67 FPS, so it is the recommended setting for maximum visual quality while staying playable. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 124 FPS, offering a high refresh rate experience with full graphical fidelity. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 193 FPS, which is well beyond the 60 FPS threshold and suitable for high refresh rate monitors. For users who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, lower presets provide even higher numbers—for example, 1080p Low reaches 392 FPS—but the Ultra preset already clears the playability bar with substantial margin.

Similar Performance Alternatives

If the Ryzen 5 7400F were replaced with a CPU from its nearest rivals, the overall performance in Minimum would be nearly unchanged. The Intel Core i5-14600T, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, and AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 all have average benchmark scores within 0.3% of the Ryzen 5 7400F. In CPU-bound scenarios—such as the very high frame rates seen at 1080p—any of these processors would deliver virtually identical results.

On the GPU side, swapping the RTX 4090 for one of its nearest rivals would also produce similar frame rates, though the deltas are slightly larger. The Intel Arc Pro A60 has an average score just 0% away, making it a direct match. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 is 0.3% faster, while the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 2.5% slower and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is 2.9% faster. Given that the RTX 4090 already delivers 67 FPS at 4K Ultra, a 2.9% difference would still keep that preset above 60 FPS (roughly 69 FPS for the PRO V710). Thus, any of these GPUs would maintain playability across all tested settings, though the exact FPS numbers would shift slightly. For users considering alternative hardware, these rivals represent safe choices that would produce comparable results in Minimum.
