Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is a formidable combination for Minimum, delivering playable frame rates at every tested resolution. Benchmark data confirms that this setup exceeds the 60 FPS threshold even at the most demanding preset across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, with the RTX 5080 providing the overwhelming majority of the graphical headroom.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the highest preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 63 FPS. This is a narrow margin above the playability threshold, indicating that 4K Ultra is viable but leaves little room for frame rate dips in busier scenes. The data shows a clear progression at 4K: Low delivers 128 FPS, Medium 98 FPS, and High 82 FPS, so users who prefer higher refresh rates at 4K can step down to High for a substantial performance buffer.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the best setting, producing an average of 117 FPS. This is more than double the 60 FPS threshold, providing a comfortable margin for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors. At this resolution, even the most visually demanding settings remain highly playable, with Low hitting 238 FPS, Medium 182 FPS, and High 153 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset again takes the top spot, with an average of 181 FPS. This is nearly three times the playability threshold, making this resolution the clear choice for maximum visual fidelity without any performance concerns. The 1080p data also shows extreme headroom at lower settings: Low reaches 369 FPS, Medium 283 FPS, and High 237 FPS, all of which are well beyond what most displays can even refresh.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Core i7-11850H with a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F at -0.2%, the Intel Core i7-13620H at 0.2%, and the Intel Core 5 210H at 0.4%. These processors all fall within a narrow performance band of the Ryzen 5 7500F, meaning users upgrading from or considering these chips should expect nearly identical frame pacing in Minimum.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5080’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 8060S with a delta of 0.6%, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 0.7%, the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 2.3%, and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE at -2.2%. The positive deltas for the first three indicate that the RTX 5080 scores slightly higher, while the RX 9070 GRE is marginally ahead. In practical terms, all four alternatives would produce very similar FPS results in this game, although the Radeon RX 9070 GRE holds a slight edge in raw compute benchmarks.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured data shows a wide spread across presets. The Low setting averages 128 FPS, while Medium averages 98 FPS with a minimum of 83 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS. High averages 82 FPS, and Ultra averages 63 FPS. Notably, only the Medium preset has recorded min/max values in the dataset; the others list only averages, which suggests the testing methodology captured stable performance without significant variance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset achieves 238 FPS, Medium averages 182 FPS with a minimum of 155 FPS and maximum of 210 FPS, High averages 153 FPS, and Ultra averages 117 FPS. The min/max data for Medium at this resolution shows a spread of 55 FPS, indicating that while average performance is excellent, there can be noticeable frame time spikes during intense action.

At 1920x1080, Low produces 369 FPS, Medium averages 283 FPS with a minimum of 240 FPS and maximum of 325 FPS, High averages 237 FPS, and Ultra averages 181 FPS. The Medium preset’s min/max range of 85 FPS is the largest observed across all resolutions, but even the minimum value is four times the playability threshold, rendering this variance irrelevant for gameplay smoothness.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: this PC can run Minimum at playable frame rates across all tested resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, the verdict shows that High, Low, Medium, and Ultra are all playable, with the best settings being Ultra at 63 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold, but barely, so users who prioritize consistent refresh rates over visual extremes should consider High at 82 FPS.

At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra delivering 117 FPS as the best setting. This is a strong result that leaves ample performance headroom for background tasks or streaming overhead. At 1920x1080, the same pattern holds, with Ultra reaching 181 FPS as the best setting, making this the ideal resolution for high-refresh-rate displays up to 180 Hz.

The RTX 5080 is clearly the dominant component in this pairing, as evidenced by the FPS scaling across resolutions. The Ryzen 5 7500F, with its six cores and twelve threads, provides sufficient CPU throughput to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 350 FPS on Low settings. The benchmark results indicate that this combination is well-balanced, with no resolution showing a CPU-bound limitation.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest preset that stays above 60 FPS at 4K?

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination ranks 209 out of 3712 tested combos in Minimum, placing it in the top 5.6% of all configurations evaluated. This ranking reflects the extraordinary performance of the RTX 5080, which sits in the 87th percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 7500F holds the 77th percentile among all CPUs.

The combo’s high rank is consistent with its measured frame rates, which exceed 60 FPS at every preset and resolution combination tested. At 4K Ultra, it achieves 63 FPS, which is a remarkable result for a maximum-detail setting at that resolution. The data suggests that only a small fraction of tested systems can match this level of performance, making this pairing a top-tier choice for playing Minimum at high settings across all common display resolutions.
