Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is an overwhelmingly capable combination for Minimum, delivering playable frame rates at every resolution and preset tier tested. Benchmark data confirms this pairing clears the 60 FPS threshold with substantial headroom, making it a top-tier option for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured performance data for this combo shows a clear trend: frame rates scale predictably with resolution and settings, but never dip below the playable threshold of 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the system is effectively unburdened, with average frame rates ranging from 210 FPS at Ultra settings to a staggering 409 FPS at Low settings. The Medium preset at 1080p delivers 329 FPS average, with a minimum of 280 FPS and a maximum of 379 FPS, indicating consistent frame pacing even during intense scenes. High settings at 1080p produce 276 FPS average, showing that even the most demanding quality preset at this resolution leaves massive performance on the table.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results remain exceptionally strong. Ultra settings average 136 FPS, which is more than double the playable threshold. High settings at 1440p achieve 178 FPS average, while Medium settings hit 212 FPS with a minimum of 180 FPS and a maximum of 244 FPS. The Low preset at this resolution reaches 277 FPS average, demonstrating that the RTX 5090 D's 32 GB memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming.

At 3840x2160, the combination still delivers excellent performance, though the gap between presets widens. Ultra settings average 73 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold but noticeably lower than lower presets. High settings at 4K average 96 FPS, while Medium settings produce 114 FPS with a minimum of 97 FPS and a maximum of 131 FPS. The Low preset at 4K reaches 149 FPS average, showing that even in the most demanding resolution, the GPU has ample headroom for competitive play. Notably, the 4K Medium preset's minimum of 97 FPS confirms that frame drops are minimal, keeping the experience smooth throughout.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data provides context for how this specific CPU and GPU combination compares to other hardware. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, with an average benchmark score of 24964, sits within a tight performance band of its closest competitors. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, a delta of 0.1 percent, meaning the two processors are effectively identical in overall benchmark performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25005, a -0.2 percent delta, again placing it in the same performance tier. The Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911 (0.2 percent delta), and the Intel Core 5 210H scores 24872 (0.4 percent delta). In practical terms for Minimum, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly indistinguishable frame rates, as the game's workload does not appear to be heavily CPU-bound at the tested settings.

For the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D has an average benchmark score of 77712. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT with a score of 76904 (1.1 percent delta), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT at 78940 (-1.6 percent delta), and two NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants scoring 79396 (-2.1 percent delta) and 79605 (-2.4 percent delta). These deltas are small, but given the RTX 5090 D's massive performance headroom in Minimum, even a 2.4 percent difference would translate to only a few frames at most. For example, at 4K Ultra, a 2.4 percent slower GPU would still average around 71 FPS, well above the 60 FPS threshold.

The Verdict

This PC configuration unequivocally runs Minimum at playable frame rates across all tested resolutions. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four settings presets — High, Low, Medium, and Ultra — are playable at every resolution from 1920x1080 through 3840x2160. At 1080p, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 210 FPS, providing a massive cushion above the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, Ultra settings average 136 FPS, again far exceeding the playable threshold. Even at 4K, the most demanding resolution, Ultra settings average 73 FPS, which is 13 FPS above the playable threshold.

For gamers seeking the highest visual fidelity, 4K Ultra is viable, though the 73 FPS average leaves less headroom than lower resolutions. For competitive play or high refresh rate monitors, 1440p Ultra at 136 FPS or 1080p Ultra at 210 FPS are excellent choices. The data shows no scenario where this combo falls below 60 FPS, making it a confident recommendation for this game.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals how the CPU and GPU split responsibilities in Minimum. At 1920x1080, the system achieves extremely high frame rates — 409 FPS on Low settings and 276 FPS on High — which suggests the workload is primarily GPU-bound, as the Ryzen 5 7500F's six Zen 4 cores provide ample single-thread performance for the game's logic.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, frame rates drop by roughly 32 to 35 percent across settings (e.g., from 276 to 178 FPS on High, and from 210 to 136 FPS on Ultra). This reduction aligns with the increased pixel count putting more load on the RTX 5090 D, while the CPU maintains its frame generation capability. The 4K results show a further drop: High settings fall from 178 FPS at 1440p to 96 FPS at 4K, a 46 percent reduction. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the dominant bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU becomes less relevant as pixel fill rates increase.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings also widens with resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low (409 FPS) and Ultra (210 FPS) is 199 FPS. At 1440p, the gap is 141 FPS (277 vs 136), and at 4K it narrows to 76 FPS (149 vs 73). This compression suggests that at higher resolutions, the GPU's shading and memory bandwidth limits become more pronounced, reducing the impact of settings changes. The CPU's role is most significant at 1080p where frame rates exceed 400 FPS, but even there, the Ryzen 5 7500F's 3DMark single-thread score of 974 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3218 are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 5090 D.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Minimum, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D ranks 35 out of 3712 combos. This places it in the top 0.9 percent of all configurations tested for this game. The ranking reflects the high absolute performance of both components, but the GPU is the primary driver of this position given the game's scaling behavior.

The RTX 5090 D's 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs (based on its average benchmark score of 77712) and its 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 throughput provide the raw compute needed for high-resolution rendering. The Ryzen 5 7500F, ranking in the 77th percentile among CPUs, ensures the system does not suffer from CPU limitations. Notably, the CPU's nearest rivals — the Intel Core i7-11850H and AMD Ryzen 5 8400F — are within 0.2 percent performance, meaning similar CPU choices would not meaningfully alter the combo's rank. The GPU's nearest rivals, such as the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT at -1.6 percent, would produce slightly lower frame rates but would likely still achieve playable performance at all resolutions, though the exact rank might shift by a few positions.
