Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is an exceptionally high-performing combination for Minimum, clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset tested. The data shows that this combo ranks 105th out of 3712 tested combinations, placing it in the top percentile of systems capable of running this title. At 4K, the system delivers a playable 69 FPS average on Ultra settings, while at 1440p and 1080p, it achieves 127 and 197 FPS respectively on the same maximum preset. This is not a system that struggles with Minimum; it is one that overwhelms it, providing headroom for high-refresh-rate displays at lower resolutions and comfortable 4K gameplay with all visual features enabled.

Best Settings per Resolution

The benchmark results indicate that this combination can run Minimum at the highest possible preset—Ultra—at every resolution tested, with all average frame rates remaining comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the Ultra preset delivers an average of 69 FPS. This is the most demanding configuration tested, and while 69 FPS is above the playable threshold, it offers less headroom than lower resolutions. For players who prioritize maximum visual fidelity at 4K, Ultra is viable, but the data suggests that dropping to High increases the average to 90 FPS, providing a more substantial buffer against frame time spikes. The Medium preset at 4K yields 107 FPS with a minimum of 91 FPS and a maximum of 123 FPS, which is the only settings tier at any resolution where min/max data was captured.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the Ultra preset averages 127 FPS, which is nearly double the 60 FPS threshold. This resolution represents the sweet spot for this combination, as it delivers high visual quality while maintaining frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of most standard monitors. The High preset at 1440p reaches 167 FPS, while Medium averages 199 FPS with a minimum of 169 FPS and maximum of 229 FPS. Even the Low preset, which is not typically recommended for visual quality, achieves 260 FPS, making it suitable for competitive play on high-refresh-rate displays.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the Ultra preset averages 197 FPS. This is the highest average frame rate at the maximum quality settings across all resolutions. The High preset reaches 259 FPS, Medium averages 309 FPS with a minimum of 262 FPS and maximum of 355 FPS, and Low achieves 373 FPS. At this resolution, the system is overwhelmingly capable, with even the most demanding preset delivering frame rates that exceed 144Hz refresh rate monitors.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data provides context for how this specific CPU and GPU compare to other hardware in their respective benchmark categories. For the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D, the average benchmark score is 44573, placing it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. The closest rival is the Intel Core i5-14600, which scores 44889, representing a 0.7% higher average score. The Intel Core Ultra X9 388H is 0.2% behind with a score of 44466, while the Intel Core i9-13950HX scores 44342, a 0.5% deficit. The AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 scores 44309, which is 0.6% lower. These deltaPct values are minimal, indicating that all four rival CPUs would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Minimum.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, the average benchmark score is 79842, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rival is the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X, which scores 80959, a 1.4% higher result. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB scores 79605, just 0.3% lower, while the Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB scores 79396, a 0.6% deficit. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78940, which is 1.1% lower. These rival GPUs would produce frame rates in Minimum that are statistically indistinguishable from the RTX 5090, given the small deltaPct values.

In practical terms, a system using any of these rival CPUs paired with any of these rival GPUs would behave nearly identically to the tested combination in Minimum. The performance differences are within 1.4% at most, which translates to a frame rate variance of only a few FPS at the measured settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all three resolutions and four settings tiers. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 373 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded in the entire dataset. The Medium preset at 1080p averages 309 FPS, with a minimum of 262 FPS and a maximum of 355 FPS. High settings reduce the average to 259 FPS, while Ultra drops further to 197 FPS. All 1080p results exceed 190 FPS, demonstrating that the system is never CPU-limited at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 260 FPS, Medium averages 199 FPS with a minimum of 169 FPS and maximum of 229 FPS, High averages 167 FPS, and Ultra averages 127 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1440p shows a consistent reduction in frame rates, with each settings tier reducing performance by approximately 20-30% relative to the previous tier. The minimum FPS at Medium (169) remains well above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating stable frame delivery.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 140 FPS, Medium averages 107 FPS with a minimum of 91 FPS and maximum of 123 FPS, High averages 90 FPS, and Ultra averages 69 FPS. This is the only resolution where the Ultra preset approaches the playable threshold, with the 69 FPS average providing a 9 FPS buffer above the 60 FPS minimum. The Medium preset at 4K, with its 91 FPS minimum, is the most consistent performer at this resolution in terms of frame pacing.

The Verdict

The verdictByResolution data is unambiguous: this PC can run Minimum at every resolution and preset combination tested, with all average frame rates exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the best playable settings are Ultra, with an average of 69 FPS. At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, achieving 127 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 197 FPS.

The 4K Ultra result of 69 FPS is the only measurement that falls below 90 FPS, making it the most demanding scenario. However, it still clears the playable threshold by a meaningful margin. For players who own 4K displays with VRR (variable refresh rate) support, the 69 FPS average would appear smooth, though the lack of min/max data for Ultra at 4K means frame consistency at this setting is not fully documented. The Medium preset at 4K, with its documented 91 FPS minimum, offers a more predictable experience for users who prioritize frame stability over maximum visual quality.

At 1440p and 1080p, the system provides substantial headroom. The 127 FPS and 197 FPS averages at Ultra settings respectively indicate that this combination is well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors at these resolutions. The data shows that the system is never the bottleneck at these settings, as the frame rates scale consistently with resolution and settings changes.
