Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers a strong performance profile in Minimum, a third-person shooter that pushes the GPU harder as resolution climbs. The measured data set covers three resolutions and four quality presets, with average frame rates ranging from a demanding 53.3 FPS at 4K Ultra to a blistering 323.6 FPS at 1080p Low. This pairing clearly favors high-refresh-rate gaming at lower resolutions while remaining playable at 4K with adjusted settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo is overwhelmingly powerful. The Low preset produces an average of 323.6 FPS, while Medium reaches 247.8 FPS. High still delivers a massive 210 FPS, and even the Ultra preset holds an average of 162.5 FPS. Every setting at this resolution is far beyond the 60 FPS playable threshold, indicating that the CPU and GPU are not the primary constraints here; the bottleneck is likely the display refresh rate or frame pacing.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally high. Low averages 208.5 FPS, Medium drops to 163.8 FPS, and High is still at 134.4 FPS. The Ultra preset also clears the threshold comfortably with an average of 100.9 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable reduction in frame rates, but the margins are so large that the experience remains fluid across all settings.

At 3840x2160, the data reveals the first significant strain. The Low preset averages 111.2 FPS, and Medium still manages 87.2 FPS. The High preset remains playable at 72.3 FPS, but the Ultra preset drops to an average of 53.3 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold. This is the only tested configuration where the combo cannot maintain a playable frame rate, indicating a clear GPU limitation at the highest settings.

Across all resolutions, the min and max FPS values are not provided in the data, so the analysis relies solely on average frame rates. The pattern is consistent: the RTX 4070 Ti provides ample headroom for 1080p and 1440p gaming, while 4K requires a settings compromise to stay above 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7500F and RTX 4070 Ti holds a comboRankInGame of 547 out of 3,712 tested combos. This places the pairing in the top 15% of all configurations tested in Minimum. The percentile is even more telling for the individual components: the CPU sits in the 77th percentile against all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 84th percentile against all GPUs.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 24,964 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals. It is 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-11850H and 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13620H, while trailing the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F by 0.2%. The GPU’s average score of 44,795 is slightly behind the RTX 5090 Mobile by 0.8% and the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT by 1.3%, but it is 1.6% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A6000. This suggests the performance is well-balanced, with no single component dramatically outperforming the other in synthetic workloads.

In Minimum specifically, the rank of 547 indicates that this combo is among the more capable configurations. Given that the game is from 2014 and the GPU is from the GeForce 40-series, the high ranking is unsurprising. The data suggests the pair is more than sufficient for most gaming scenarios, with the only exception being 4K Ultra.

FAQ

*Q: Can this combo run Minimum at 4K with any settings?*

A: Yes, but not on the Ultra preset. The High preset averages 72.3 FPS, Medium averages 87.2 FPS, and Low averages 111.2 FPS at 3840x2160. The Ultra preset drops to 53.3 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best preset for 1440p gaming with this hardware?

A: The Ultra preset is the most demanding option that remains playable, with an average of 100.9 FPS at 2560x1440. High (134.4 FPS), Medium (163.8 FPS), and Low (208.5 FPS) all also clear the threshold.

Q: How does the performance scale from 1080p to 1440p?

A: The frame rate drops are significant but not prohibitive. For example, the Ultra preset falls from 162.5 FPS at 1080p to 100.9 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of roughly 38%. The Low preset drops from 323.6 FPS to 208.5 FPS, a similar proportional decline.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at 4K Ultra?

A: The data suggests the GPU is the primary constraint. The CPU’s percentile rank (77) is lower than the GPU’s (84), but the 4K Ultra result of 53.3 FPS indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti cannot handle the pixel workload at that preset, regardless of CPU headroom.

Q: What is the highest average FPS recorded for this combo?

A: The highest average is 323.6 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 with the Low preset. This is more than five times the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: Does this combo rank high relative to other tested configurations?

A: Yes, it ranks 547th out of 3,712 tested combos, placing it well within the top tier of configurations for this game.

The Verdict

The verdict is straightforward: this PC can run Minimum with ease at 1080p and 1440p, but it requires a settings check at 4K. At 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) average above 162 FPS, clearing the 60 FPS threshold with massive headroom. At 2560x1440, the same is true, with the Ultra preset averaging 100.9 FPS. At 3840x2160, the High (72.3 FPS), Medium (87.2 FPS), and Low (111.2 FPS) presets are all playable, but the Ultra preset falls short at 53.3 FPS.

For 4K gaming, the recommendation is to use the High preset, which delivers the best visual quality while staying above 60 FPS. The data shows that the RTX 4070 Ti is the limiting factor at this resolution, as the CPU has more than enough processing power based on its benchmark scores.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Ryzen 5 7500F and RTX 4070 Ti becomes clearer when examining the frame rate scaling across resolutions. At 1080p, the performance is exceptionally high across all presets, with the Low preset hitting 323.6 FPS. This suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to avoid bottlenecking, even at very high frame rates.

As resolution increases to 1440p, the frame rates drop significantly, but the pattern remains similar. The Ultra preset drops from 162.5 FPS to 100.9 FPS, a 38% reduction, while the Low preset drops from 323.6 FPS to 208.5 FPS, a 36% reduction. This proportional decline indicates that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor, as higher resolutions increase the pixel workload without changing the CPU’s draw-call burden.

At 4K, the GPU’s role is clearly dominant. The Ultra preset’s 53.3 FPS result is the only data point below 60 FPS, and the gap between Low (111.2 FPS) and Ultra (53.3 FPS) is a 52% reduction. This steep drop is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where the RTX 4070 Ti’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are struggling to keep up with the pixel fill demand. The CPU’s benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,799, suggest it has ample headroom to continue feeding the GPU, but the GPU cannot render the scene fast enough.

In summary, the CPU is more than adequate for this game at all resolutions, while the GPU becomes the bottleneck at 4K Ultra. For 1080p and 1440p, the combo is well-balanced, with the CPU providing enough single-thread performance (3,218 in Cinebench R23 single-core) to maintain high frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is as follows:

• 1920x1080: The Ultra preset is the best choice, averaging 162.5 FPS. This provides the highest visual quality without any concern about performance.
• 2560x1440: The Ultra preset remains the best option, averaging 100.9 FPS. This is well above the threshold and offers the full visual experience.
• 3840x2160: The High preset is the most demanding that stays playable, averaging 72.3 FPS. The Ultra preset’s 53.3 FPS falls short, so High is the recommended ceiling for 4K.

These recommendations are based solely on the measured average FPS data. The High preset at 4K provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold, while the Ultra preset does not. For users prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity, the Low preset at 4K offers an even higher average of 111.2 FPS, but the High preset represents the best balance of quality and performance according to the data.
