Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Minimum, a third-person shooter from 2014, shows how this AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination scales across three resolutions and four quality presets. The playable threshold used in the database is 60 FPS, and the results are mixed by resolution.

At 1920x1080, the combo is comfortably fast in every preset. Low settings deliver an average of 170 FPS. Medium raises the visual load and still lands at 130 FPS, with a minimum of 111 FPS and a maximum of 150 FPS. High settings drop to 109 FPS on average, which is still far above the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra settings, the most demanding preset in the database, produce an average of 83 FPS. No minimum or maximum values are recorded for Low, High, or Ultra at this resolution, but the averages are strong enough to classify all four presets as playable.

At 2560x1440, the picture changes. Low settings average 110 FPS, a very high figure. Medium averages 84 FPS, with a minimum of 71 FPS and a maximum of 97 FPS. High averages 71 FPS, still above the 60 FPS threshold, though with less headroom than at 1080p. Ultra, however, falls to 54 FPS on average, which is below the playable threshold. That makes Ultra the only non-playable preset at this resolution. The data shows a clear step down from High to Ultra, a drop of 17 FPS on average.

At 3840x2160, the results are much weaker. Low settings average 59 FPS, just 1 FPS below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 45 FPS, with a minimum of 38 FPS and a maximum of 52 FPS. High averages 38 FPS. Ultra averages 29 FPS. No preset at 4K clears 60 FPS, and even Low misses by a single frame. The minimum and maximum values recorded for Medium at 4K show that frame times are relatively consistent, but the overall performance is not sufficient for smooth play by the database standard.

The scaling pattern is consistent across resolutions. At 1080p, the gap from Low to Ultra is 87 FPS. At 1440p, the gap is 56 FPS. At 4K, the gap is 30 FPS. The GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions, and the CPU headroom from the Ryzen 5 7600, a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 part with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, is not enough to compensate at 4K.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Minimum at 60 FPS on Ultra settings?

A: Yes, but only at 1920x1080. The recorded average at 1080p Ultra is 83 FPS. At 2560x1440 Ultra, the average drops to 54 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average is 29 FPS.

Q: What is the best playable preset at 2560x1440?

A: High settings are the best playable preset at 1440p, with an average of 71 FPS. Low and Medium also clear 60 FPS, at 110 FPS and 84 FPS respectively, but High offers the highest visual quality while staying above the threshold. Ultra is not playable at this resolution, averaging 54 FPS.

Q: Is 4K playable with this combination?

A: No. The database lists no playable settings at 3840x2160. Low settings come closest at 59 FPS on average, which is 1 FPS below the threshold. Medium averages 45 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS.

Q: How much performance is lost when going from 1080p to 1440p?

A: The averages drop by roughly 30 to 45 percent depending on the preset. For example, High goes from 109 FPS at 1080p to 71 FPS at 1440p, while Ultra goes from 83 FPS to 54 FPS. Medium goes from 130 FPS to 84 FPS, and Low goes from 170 FPS to 110 FPS.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its closest rivals?

A: The RTX 2060 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 18093, placing it in the 62nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, scores 18159, which is 0.4 percent higher. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, 0.5 percent higher. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, 1.5 percent higher, and the Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, 1.6 percent higher. The differences are small, so these GPUs should behave similarly in this game.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 7600 has an average benchmark score of 26324, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX scores 26274, 0.2 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS scores 26402, 0.3 percent higher. The Intel Core i9-11900KF scores 26212, 0.4 percent lower, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26187, 0.5 percent lower. Again, the deltas are minimal, so CPU-bound performance should be very similar across these parts.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database identifies the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution. At 1920x1080, that is Ultra settings, with an average of 83 FPS. This is the highest quality preset available, and it clears the threshold by a comfortable margin. At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, with an average of 71 FPS. Medium also works at 84 FPS, but High offers better visuals at a still-playable frame rate. At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. Low comes closest at 59 FPS, but it misses the threshold by 1 FPS, so the database records no best settings for 4K.

For 1080p users, Ultra is the obvious choice. It delivers the full visual experience at 83 FPS, and the frame rate is high enough that most displays will show smooth motion. For 1440p users, High is the ceiling. Pushing to Ultra drops the average to 54 FPS, which introduces visible stutter on typical 60 Hz displays. For 4K users, the options are limited. Low at 59 FPS is just below the threshold, and Medium at 45 FPS is noticeably slower. Users with variable refresh rate displays might accept Low at 4K, but by the database standard, it is not playable.

The Verdict

This combination is fully capable of running Minimum at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, with clear limits at 4K. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four presets are playable at 1080p, with Ultra averaging 83 FPS. At 1440p, three presets are playable: Low, Medium, and High, with High being the best at 71 FPS. Ultra at 1440p falls to 54 FPS, so it is not recommended for smooth play. At 4K, no preset clears 60 FPS, and the database records no playable settings.

The practical takeaway is simple. For 1080p gaming, this PC can run Minimum at maximum settings without issue. For 1440p gaming, High settings are the sweet spot, delivering 71 FPS with good visual quality. Ultra at 1440p is a compromise that drops below the threshold, so it should be avoided unless the user accepts a lower frame rate. For 4K gaming, the RTX 2060 SUPER is not strong enough. Even Low settings fall 1 FPS short of the playable threshold, and higher presets are far too slow. The CPU is not the bottleneck in this scenario. The Ryzen 5 7600 ranks in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 62nd percentile, so the GPU is the limiting factor at high resolutions.

The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on the RTX 2060 SUPER and its 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this 2014 title, but the raw compute performance of 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 is not enough to drive 4K at playable rates. The data is measured, not estimated, and it clearly shows that 1080p and 1440p are the usable ranges for this pairing.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the GPU are close in average benchmark score, so swapping in one of these parts should produce similar frame rates in Minimum. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile scores 18159, just 0.4 percent above the RTX 2060 SUPER's 18093. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, 0.5 percent higher. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, 1.5 percent higher, and the Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, 1.6 percent higher. None of these differences are large enough to change the playability verdict at any resolution. A user moving from the RTX 2060 SUPER to a Radeon RX 460, for example, would see roughly the same frame rates, within 1.5 percent.

The nearest rivals for the CPU are equally close. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX scores 26274, 0.2 percent below the Ryzen 5 7600's 26324. The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS scores 26402, 0.3 percent above. The Intel Core i9-11900KF scores 26212, 0.4 percent below, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26187, 0.5 percent below. These deltas are within the noise of typical benchmark variation, so any of these CPUs paired with the RTX 2060 SUPER would behave almost identically in Minimum. The Ryzen 5 7600 has 6 cores and 12 threads, but the game's CPU demands are modest at 1080p and 1440p, as shown by the high frame rates at Low and Medium presets.

Because the GPU deltas are all under 2 percent, the playability conclusions at each resolution would not change with any of the listed rivals. The 4K results would still be below 60 FPS, the 1440p results would still support High as the best playable preset, and the 1080p results would still allow Ultra at over 80 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER at position 2602 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. That places it in the lower half of all tested configurations, which makes sense given the GPU's age and its 62nd percentile standing among all GPUs. The combo rank reflects the overall performance of the pairing, not just the CPU or GPU individually.

A rank of 2602 out of 3712 means roughly 70 percent of tested combos perform better in this game, while about 30 percent perform worse. This is consistent with the measured FPS data: the combo is strong at 1080p, acceptable at 1440p with settings capped at High, and not viable at 4K. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking is much higher than the GPU's 62nd percentile, so the pairing is unbalanced in favor of the processor. Users upgrading from an older GPU would see a larger gain from replacing the RTX 2060 SUPER than from replacing the Ryzen 5 7600.

The rank also puts the combo in context against the full database. It is not a top-tier configuration for Minimum, but it is far from the bottom. For a player targeting 1080p or 1440p, the measured results are more relevant than the raw rank. At 1080p, the combo delivers Ultra at 83 FPS, which is a strong result for a game from 2014. At 1440p, High at 71 FPS is solid. The rank only looks weak because the database includes many newer, more powerful GPUs that push 4K frame rates much higher. For the resolutions where this combo is actually playable, the performance is respectable.
