Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER in Minimum shows a clear pattern: performance scales predictably with resolution, and the gap between Low and Ultra presets grows as resolution increases. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are 59 FPS on Low, 45 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 38 and maximum of 52), 38 FPS on High, and 29 FPS on Ultra. The jump from Low to Ultra represents a 30 FPS drop, which is substantial but expected for a game pushing 4K-class pixel counts.

At 2560x1440, the same settings produce much healthier numbers. Low averages 110 FPS, Medium averages 84 FPS (with a min of 71 and max of 97), High averages 71 FPS, and Ultra drops to 54 FPS. The Medium preset shows a narrower frame time variance here, with the minimum matching the High average exactly at 71 FPS. This suggests that at 1440p, the Medium preset is hitting a consistent performance ceiling tied to GPU load rather than CPU limitations.

At 1920x1080, the combo becomes very fast. Low averages 170 FPS, Medium averages 130 FPS (min 111, max 150), High averages 109 FPS, and Ultra still manages 83 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 87 FPS, meaning the GPU has plenty of headroom even at the highest preset. The data also shows that the Medium preset's minimum of 111 FPS at 1080p is higher than the High preset's average at 1440p, which reinforces how much resolution influences the final frame rate.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The closest is Low at 59 FPS, which is just one frame short of playable, but the database does not list any playable settings at this resolution. Medium at 45 FPS and High at 38 FPS are both below the threshold, and Ultra at 29 FPS is the least viable option.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 71 FPS. Medium also qualifies at 84 FPS, and Low at 110 FPS, but High is the best visual quality that still clears the 60 FPS bar. Ultra falls short at 54 FPS, so it cannot be recommended for smooth play.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is the best preset that maintains 60 FPS or higher, averaging 83 FPS. High averages 109 FPS, Medium 130 FPS, and Low 170 FPS, but Ultra is the top setting that remains fully playable. Since Ultra at 1080p averages 83 FPS, there is a 23 FPS margin above the threshold, indicating that even the highest quality setting leaves room for minor frame drops without crossing below 60.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the database's nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU, this combo sits in a well-trodden performance band. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F has an average benchmark score of 24964, and its closest neighbor is the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F at 25005, which is only 0.2% faster. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, a 0.1% difference, and the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, a 0.2% gap. The Intel Core 5 210H is 0.4% behind at 24872. These are all within noise-level margins, so any of these CPUs would deliver essentially identical frame rates in Minimum.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER has an average score of 18093. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile is 0.4% ahead at 18159, the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 is 0.5% ahead at 18189, the AMD Radeon RX 460 is 1.5% ahead at 18373, and the Intel Arc A770M is 1.6% ahead at 18383. These deltas are small, meaning that swapping the RTX 2060 SUPER for any of these would produce nearly the same FPS numbers in this game. In practical terms, a user with a Ryzen 5 7500F and an RTX 3060 Mobile or an RX 460 would see essentially the same measured FPS at every resolution and preset combination listed here.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Minimum? The verdict data is clear. At 1920x1080, the system is fully playable across all presets: Low at 170 FPS, Medium at 130 FPS, High at 109 FPS, and Ultra at 83 FPS. Every setting clears the 60 FPS threshold with a comfortable margin. At 2560x1440, the system remains playable on Low, Medium, and High, with High being the best visual setting at 71 FPS. Ultra at 1440p drops to 54 FPS, so it fails the 60 FPS requirement. At 3840x2160, no preset is playable. The best result is Low at 59 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS mark by one frame, and all other settings fall further behind.

The data indicates that this combo is a solid 1080p and 1440p machine for Minimum, but it is not suited for 4K gaming at any settings. Users targeting 4K would need to accept frame rates in the 29 to 59 FPS range, which is below the playable threshold defined by the database.

How This Combo Ranks

The recorded rank for this combo in Minimum is 2602 out of 3712 tested combinations. This places it in the 70th percentile of all combos, meaning roughly 30% of tested systems perform worse. Given that the CPU sits in the 77th percentile among all CPUs and the GPU sits in the 62nd percentile among all GPUs, the final combo rank reflects the GPU being the weaker link. The rank suggests that while this system is far from the top, it is also not near the bottom. For a game released in 2014, this rank is acceptable for 1080p and 1440p play, but it is clearly not a high-end configuration by current database standards.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that resolution scaling is the primary driver of performance changes, which points to the GPU being the dominant factor in Minimum. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings drops the average from 109 FPS to 71 FPS, a 38 FPS reduction. Moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings drops the average from 71 FPS to 38 FPS, another 33 FPS reduction. This consistent decline with resolution indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting component, as the Ryzen 5 7500F has ample single-thread and multi-thread headroom based on its benchmark scores (e.g., Cinebench R23 single-core at 3218 and multi-core at 22799).

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 170 FPS, which is high enough that CPU overhead could start to matter, but the fact that Ultra at 1080p still reaches 83 FPS suggests that the CPU is not bottlenecking even at high frame rates. The CPU's nearest rivals are all within 0.4% in average score, so any of those CPUs would produce nearly identical results. The GPU's nearest rivals are also within 1.6%, reinforcing that the GPU is the primary performance arbiter.

At 4K, the GPU is unquestionably the bottleneck. Low at 59 FPS and Medium at 45 FPS show that even the easiest preset cannot reach the playable threshold, and the gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 30 FPS. The CPU's 12 threads and 5.00 GHz boost clock are not the issue; the 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth of the RTX 2060 SUPER are simply insufficient for the pixel load at 3840x2160. In summary, for 1080p and 1440p, the GPU is the main driver of FPS differences, and the CPU is more than adequate. For 4K, the GPU is the sole limiting factor, and no CPU change would help.
