Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers overwhelming performance in Minimum, a 2014 third-person shooter. Measured data confirms this combination is a top-tier contender, ranking 95th out of 3,712 tested combos. At every resolution tested, the combo clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with significant headroom, making it an exceptionally capable setup for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination shows a consistent pattern: performance scales predictably with resolution and settings, with no concerning dips at any configuration. At 1080p, the lowest tested resolution, the combo produces triple-digit average frame rates across all presets. The Low preset achieves an average of 392 FPS, while the High preset delivers 259 FPS. The Medium preset shows an average of 309 FPS, with a minimum of 262 FPS and a maximum of 355 FPS, indicating tight frame pacing. The Ultra preset, the most demanding option, still maintains an average of 197 FPS. These numbers suggest the CPU-GPU pairing is nowhere near a bottleneck at 1080p, as even the heaviest settings leave massive performance in reserve.

Moving to 1440p, the results remain impressive but show the expected scaling. The Low preset averages 260 FPS, while High drops to 167 FPS. The Medium preset averages 199 FPS, with a minimum of 169 FPS and a maximum of 229 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution averages 127 FPS, a substantial 70 FPS drop from the 1080p Ultra result, but still far beyond what most displays can refresh. The data indicates that 1440p Ultra is comfortably playable, with the average FPS more than double the 60 FPS threshold.

At 4K, the highest resolution tested, the combo still performs admirably. The Low preset averages 140 FPS, and the Medium preset averages 107 FPS, with a minimum of 91 FPS and a maximum of 123 FPS. The High preset averages 90 FPS, while the Ultra preset brings the average down to 69 FPS. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium is 91, which is the lowest recorded minimum in the entire dataset, yet it remains well above the playable threshold. The Ultra preset at 4K, while the slowest configuration tested, still maintains an average of 69 FPS, showing that even the most demanding scenario stays north of 60 FPS on average.

The data reveals that the RTX 5090's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for 4K textures, while the Ryzen 5 7400F's 6 cores and 12 threads handle the game's logic without causing frame rate drops. The lack of min/max data for several presets (1080p Low, High, Ultra; 1440p Low, High, Ultra; 4K Low, High, Ultra) means only average FPS is available for those configurations, but the available min/max figures for Medium presets at all resolutions show consistent frame delivery.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, with an average FPS of 197. This leaves enormous headroom over the 60 FPS threshold, meaning even the most visually demanding settings are easily handled. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again qualifies as the best setting, achieving an average of 127 FPS. This is a strong result, as 1440p Ultra typically stresses GPUs significantly more than 1080p Ultra, yet the combo still delivers more than double the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset also meets the 60 FPS requirement, with an average FPS of 69. While this is the lowest average FPS in the entire dataset, it clears the threshold by 9 FPS. The verdict data confirms all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at 4K, but Ultra is the best choice for maximum visual fidelity. The score of 69 FPS at 4K Ultra is worth noting: it is close enough to the threshold that players with variable refresh rate displays might notice occasional dips on demanding scenes, but the average remains solidly playable.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination ranks 95th out of 3,712 tested combos in Minimum. This places the setup in the top 2.6% of all tested configurations, a remarkable position for a game released in 2014. The percentile data for each component supports this ranking: the CPU sits in the 83rd percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 92nd percentile against all GPUs. The GPU's high percentile is particularly relevant for Minimum, as the game's frame rates scale most directly with GPU capability at higher resolutions.

The ranking reflects the synergy between the 6-core Zen 4 CPU and the Blackwell 2.0 GPU. The CPU's 32 MB shared L3 cache and DDR5 memory support provide adequate feeding for the GPU, which is evidenced by the consistent scaling from 1080p to 4K. The GPU's 21,760 shading units and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance are the primary drivers of the high frame rates, particularly at 4K where the RTX 5090's 512-bit memory bus and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth prevent bandwidth bottlenecks.
