Minimum

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, this combination clears the 60 FPS threshold at every preset. The most demanding option that stays playable is Ultra, which delivers 89.9 FPS average. That leaves meaningful headroom above the 60 FPS playable threshold, so even demanding scenes should remain fluid. High settings run at 121.2 FPS, Medium at 144.6 FPS, and Low at 187 FPS, but since Ultra already exceeds 60 FPS comfortably, there is no reason to drop below it for performance reasons alone.

Moving to 2560x1440, the picture changes slightly. High settings produce 80.1 FPS average, which is the highest quality preset that stays above 60 FPS. Medium runs at 90.4 FPS, Low at 119.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 58.8 FPS, just below the playable threshold. The data shows that High is the optimal choice here: it maintains smooth gameplay while offering noticeably better visuals than Medium or Low. If you prefer extra headroom for frame time consistency, Medium at 90.4 FPS is a safe fallback.

At 3840x2160, the options narrow considerably. Only Low settings reach 60 FPS or higher, with an average of 65.5 FPS. Medium falls to 47.9 FPS, High to 41 FPS, and Ultra to 29.4 FPS, all below the playable threshold. The verdict is clear: 4K requires Low settings for a playable experience. Even then, the margin is modest, so expect occasional dips if the scene becomes heavy. For a smoother 4K experience, dropping the resolution or accepting lower internal rendering would be the practical move, though the recorded data only supports Low as the playable preset.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results across resolutions and presets reveal how the workload splits between the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the primary bottleneck in most presets, but the CPU still matters. Look at the scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p: the frame rate drops from 187 FPS to 89.9 FPS, a 97.1 FPS swing. That large range indicates the GPU is doing progressively more work as settings rise, while the CPU has enough headroom to feed it at all presets. The Ryzen 5 7500F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, scores 3218 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 22799 in multi-core, which places it in the 77th percentile among all CPUs. Those numbers suggest the processor is not the limiting factor at 1080p, even at Low settings where frame rates peak at 187 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes more dominant. The frame rate range narrows: Low runs at 119.9 FPS, Medium at 90.4 FPS, High at 80.1 FPS, and Ultra at 58.8 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 61.1 FPS, smaller than at 1080p. This compression happens because the RTX 2070 SUPER, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 256-bit bus delivering 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, is working harder at higher resolutions. The GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20282, reflects its mid-high tier position. At 1440p, the GPU starts to set the ceiling, but the CPU still keeps up without issue.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unmistakably the limiting factor. The frame rates are low across the board: 65.5 FPS at Low, 47.9 FPS at Medium, 41 FPS at High, and 29.4 FPS at Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra is 36.1 FPS, the narrowest of the three resolutions. This indicates that even the lowest settings saturate the GPU's capabilities at 4K. The CPU is effectively idle in comparison; its role diminishes as the pixel count rises. The RTX 2070 SUPER's 9.062 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 113.3 GPixel/s pixel rate are simply not enough to push 4K at higher presets.

The scaling pattern tells a consistent story. At 1080p, the CPU matters for hitting very high frame rates, but the GPU still dominates the preset scaling. At 1440p, the GPU is clearly the main driver, and the CPU has ample reserve. At 4K, the GPU is the sole meaningful constraint. For this pairing, the RTX 2070 SUPER is the component to upgrade first if you want higher settings at 1440p or playable 4K, while the Ryzen 5 7500F can handle a faster GPU without becoming a bottleneck in most scenarios.

A: You gain significant performance. At High settings, frame rate rises from 80.1 FPS to 121.2 FPS. At Ultra, it goes from 58.8 FPS (unplayable) to 89.9 FPS (playable). The jump allows Ultra settings at 1080p.

Q: Is 4K playable with this combination?

A: Only at Low settings, which average 65.5 FPS. Medium (47.9 FPS), High (41 FPS), and Ultra (29.4 FPS) all fall below the 60 FPS threshold. The margin at Low is thin, so expect variability in demanding scenes.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F sits within a tight performance cluster. The Intel Core i7-11850H is 0.1% faster, the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is 0.2% slower, the Intel Core i7-13620H is 0.2% faster, and the Intel Core 5 210H is 0.4% faster. None of these deltas exceed a fraction of a percent, so swapping to any of these processors would yield virtually identical frame rates in this game. The Ryzen 5 7500F's 77th percentile ranking means it is a solid mid-high tier CPU, and these rivals occupy the same performance band. In practice, the choice between them comes down to platform features, not gaming performance.

For the GPU, the RTX 2070 SUPER's nearest rivals are all within 1.5% of its average score. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M is 1% slower, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile is 1.2% faster, the Intel Arc B570 is 1.3% faster, and the Intel Arc A750 is 1.5% faster. These differences are small enough that measured frame rates would be nearly indistinguishable. If you already own one of these GPUs, expect the same playable settings and resolutions as the RTX 2070 SUPER. The Intel Arc options are interesting because they are desktop parts, while the RTX 3070 Mobile and Quadro M4000M are mobile or professional variants, but their benchmark scores align closely.

The practical takeaway is that this CPU-GPU pairing sits in a well-populated performance tier. Upgrading to a slightly faster rival in either component would not meaningfully change the verdict for this game. You would need to move several tiers higher to unlock 4K Medium or 1440p Ultra at 60 FPS, which the nearest rivals do not offer.

How This Combo Ranks

Among 3712 tested combinations in the database, this pairing ranks 2259th. That places it in the lower third of all combos, which might sound worse than the actual gaming experience suggests. The rank reflects the entire pool of tested hardware, including much newer and more expensive setups. For a 2019 GPU paired with a 2023 CPU, the rank is reasonable given the GPU's age.

The Ryzen 5 7500F contributes a strong foundation, ranking in the 77th percentile among CPUs. The RTX 2070 SUPER ranks in the 65th percentile among GPUs. The combination's overall rank of 2259 out of 3712 is dragged down by the GPU, which is the older and weaker component. In this game specifically, the pairing still delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p with appropriate settings, which is what matters most. The rank is a useful reference for comparing against other builds, but it does not tell the full story about real-world playability.

The Verdict

Can this PC run the game? Yes, with caveats depending on your target resolution and quality expectations.

At 1920x1080, the answer is a definitive yes at every preset. Ultra settings run at 89.9 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. High, Medium, and Low all exceed 60 FPS as well, with Low reaching 187 FPS. This is the sweet spot for this combo, offering maximum visual quality without compromise.

At 2560x1440, the answer is yes for High, Medium, and Low settings. High averages 80.1 FPS, which is the best quality option that remains playable. Ultra falls short at 58.8 FPS, so avoid it unless you tolerate occasional dips below 60. Medium at 90.4 FPS is a solid alternative if you want extra headroom.

At 3840x2160, the answer is barely yes, only at Low settings with 65.5 FPS average. The margin above 60 FPS is slight, and Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the playable threshold. This is not a 4K rig for this game beyond the lowest preset.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p Ultra is fully playable, 1440p High is the best balance, and 4K is limited to Low. The RTX 2070 SUPER is the bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the Ryzen 5 7500F provides ample CPU performance. If your monitor is 1080p, this build is excellent. If you target 1440p, it is good with the right settings. For 4K, it is only marginally playable at the lowest settings.
