FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Minimum at 60 FPS at 1080p?

A: Yes. The recorded data shows the combination of an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and an AMD Radeon RX 570 reaches a 63 FPS average at 1920x1080 with Medium settings. Low settings run at 82 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 1440p?

A: The data shows no settings preset at 2560x1440 reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest average recorded at that resolution is 53 FPS on Low settings, and Medium drops to 40 FPS. Neither is considered playable per the database's 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the RX 570 compare to its nearest rival, the RX 470?

A: The RX 570 has an average benchmark score of 28766, while the RX 470 scores 28996. The RX 470 is 0.8% ahead, a negligible performance gap. The RX 570 also sits 0.4% behind the RX 6800M and 0.7% ahead of the R9 M295X in the database's aggregate measurements.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 7600 a strong CPU for this game?

A: The CPU ranks in the 78th percentile among all tested processors. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 12735 and single-core is 1852. The nearest rival, the Ryzen 7 7435HS, is only 0.3% faster, while the Core i9-11900KF is 0.4% slower, indicating the 7600 is well within the performance envelope needed for this title.

Q: What frame rates does the combo achieve at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, the highest average FPS is 28 on Low settings. Medium averages 22 FPS, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. None of these meet the 60 FPS threshold, and even the best case is under half of the playable target.

Q: What is the verdict for 1080p Ultra settings?

A: The 1920x1080 Ultra preset averages 40 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The database's verdict lists only Low and Medium as playable at 1080p, with Medium being the best playable preset at 63 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded measurements for Minimum show a clear progression of frame rate scaling across resolutions and presets, which helps isolate whether the CPU or GPU is the limiting factor for this combination. At 1920x1080, the spread between Low and Ultra is 42 FPS (from 82 down to 40). At 2560x1440, the same preset spread yields a 27 FPS gap (from 53 down to 26). At 3840x2160, the gap narrows to 14 FPS (from 28 down to 14). This pattern indicates that as resolution increases, the frame rate differences between presets compress, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions.

At 1080p, the CPU's headroom is more apparent. The Ryzen 5 7600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, can feed the RX 570 well enough that the GPU becomes the bottleneck even at Medium settings, where the average sits at 63 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium costs 19 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High costs 10 FPS, and High to Ultra costs another 13 FPS. These incremental drops are typical of a GPU that is being saturated by increasing shading and texture loads.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU's limitations become more pronounced. The RX 570's 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, with 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth, starts to struggle with the higher pixel count. The frame rate at Low drops to 53, which is 29 FPS below the 1080p Low result. Medium falls to 40, High to 34, and Ultra to 26. The scaling between presets at 1440p is roughly proportional to the pixel count increase, confirming that the GPU is now the dominant constraint.

At 3840x2160, the situation is unequivocally GPU-bound. Even Low settings only muster 28 FPS, and Ultra drops to 14. The gap between Low and Ultra is just 14 FPS, which is a small fraction of the 42 FPS spread seen at 1080p. This compression suggests that the GPU's raw throughput, measured at 5.095 TFLOPS FP32, is insufficient to maintain playable rates at 4K regardless of how much load is removed from the shading units.

The CPU's role is therefore limited to ensuring the GPU is fed at lower resolutions. The Ryzen 5 7600's single-thread score of 1852 in Cinebench R23 and its 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicate it is far from a bottleneck in this title. The data shows no scenario where CPU performance limits the frame rate; every drop in FPS correlates with an increase in resolution or preset level, both of which place more demand on the GPU.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The database records no playable settings for this resolution, and the best average FPS is 28 on Low. The verdict field confirms an empty list of playable settings, so there is no recommended preset for 4K.

At 2560x1440, the same situation applies. No preset achieves 60 FPS. The highest average is 53 FPS on Low, which falls short. Medium, High, and Ultra all score below 40 FPS. The database lists no playable settings for 1440p.

At 1920x1080, the playable presets are Low and Medium. Low averages 82 FPS, which exceeds the threshold with margin. Medium averages 63 FPS, which is the best playable preset according to the verdict field. This is the recommended setting for this resolution, as it delivers the highest visual quality while staying above 60 FPS. High falls short at 53 FPS, and Ultra is below at 40 FPS.

The Verdict

The database's verdict by resolution is unambiguous. At 3840x2160, the combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and AMD Radeon RX 570 cannot run Minimum at 60 FPS on any preset. The playable settings list is empty, and no average FPS value is recorded at the best settings. The highest recorded average is 28 FPS at Low, which is less than half of the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the same verdict applies. The playable settings list is empty, and the best average FPS is 53 at Low. The gap to 60 FPS is 7 FPS, which is close but still below the threshold. Medium drops to 40 FPS, making it clear that the GPU lacks the bandwidth and shading throughput for 1440p in this title.

At 1920x1080, the verdict is positive. The playable settings are Low and Medium. Low runs at 82 FPS, and Medium runs at 63 FPS, which is the best playable preset. The combination clears the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p with Medium settings, and it does so with a 3 FPS margin. High and Ultra are not playable, as they fall to 53 and 40 FPS respectively.

In summary, this PC can run Minimum at 1080p with Medium settings, achieving a 63 FPS average. It cannot run the game at 1440p or 4K at any preset above the 60 FPS threshold. Users targeting higher resolutions would need a more capable GPU, as the CPU is not the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded measurements provide exact average FPS values for each resolution and preset combination, with min and max values recorded for Medium settings only.

At 3840x2160, the results are as follows. Low settings average 28 FPS. Medium averages 22 FPS, with a min of 19 and a max of 25. High averages 18 FPS. Ultra averages 14 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 14 FPS, showing a tight range that reflects the GPU's absolute performance ceiling at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 53 FPS. Medium averages 40 FPS, with a min of 34 and a max of 46. High averages 34 FPS. Ultra averages 26 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 27 FPS, which is wider than at 4K but still indicates a GPU-bound scenario. The min and max values at Medium show a 12 FPS variance, suggesting some frame time inconsistency under load.

At 1920x1080, Low settings average 82 FPS. Medium averages 63 FPS, with a min of 53 and a max of 72. High averages 53 FPS. Ultra averages 40 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 42 FPS, which is the widest across all resolutions. The Medium preset's min of 53 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold, but the average stays above it. This indicates occasional dips below the threshold, but the overall experience remains playable.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7600 and the RX 570 ranks 3542 out of 3712 tested combos in the database for Minimum. This places it in the bottom 5% of all configurations tested for this game. The rank reflects the GPU's age and limited memory capacity, as the CPU is a modern part with strong benchmark scores.

The CPU's individual percentile is 78, meaning it outperforms 78% of all tested processors. The GPU's percentile is 74, meaning it outperforms 74% of all tested GPUs. However, the combo rank of 3542 out of 3712 is much lower than either component's individual percentile would suggest. This discrepancy indicates that the pairing is unbalanced for this title, with the GPU being the clear limiting factor.

The low rank is driven by the 4K and 1440p results, which are far below playable. Even at 1080p, the combo only manages a Medium preset at 63 FPS, which is just above the threshold. In a database of 3712 combos, the vast majority of configurations with a modern CPU are paired with a more capable GPU, which pushes this particular pairing to the lower end of the ranking.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU provide a sense of what other processors would behave similarly in this combination. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX has an average score of 26274, which is 0.2% lower than the Ryzen 5 7600's 26324 average. The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS scores 26402, which is 0.3% higher. The Intel Core i9-11900KF scores 26212, 0.4% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26187, 0.5% lower. All four rivals are within a half percent of the 7600's aggregate score, so swapping in any of them would yield nearly identical frame rates in Minimum, assuming the GPU remains the same.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are similarly close. The AMD Radeon RX 6800M has an average score of 28874, which is 0.4% higher than the RX 570's 28766. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28580, 0.7% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 470 scores 28996, 0.8% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 scores 28421, 1.2% lower. These deltas are all under 1.2%, meaning any of these GPUs would produce essentially the same measured FPS values in the database's testing methodology.

A user considering an upgrade path could look at the RX 470 as a direct analogue, since it is statistically indistinguishable from the RX 570 in aggregate benchmarks. The RX 6800M, despite being a mobile part, also falls within the same performance band, which suggests that the RX 570's performance class is tightly clustered around the 28700-point mark. For the CPU, the Ryzen 7 7435HS is the closest rival, and it would not change the gaming experience in Minimum given the GPU bottleneck.
