Minimum

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is overwhelmingly capable of running Minimum at maximum settings across all tested resolutions, with the only near-threshold result being 4K Ultra at 61 FPS average. This combination ranks in the top percentile of tested systems, and the bottleneck analysis shows the RTX 4080's raw rasterization power dominates, while the Ryzen 5 7600's single-thread and multi-thread scores comfortably feed it.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo is remarkably consistent: every single settings preset at every resolution clears the 60 FPS playable threshold, and most clear it by a wide margin. The lowest recorded average is 61 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra, which is exactly at the playable threshold — not a single frame drop below that average is reported for that preset, but the margin is thin enough that this is the only configuration where the 60 FPS line is not decisively beaten.

At 3840x2160, the scaling from Low to Ultra is steep but predictable. Low settings produce an average of 124 FPS, Medium averages 95 FPS with a minimum of 80 FPS and maximum of 109 FPS, High drops to 79 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 61 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 63 FPS, meaning the GPU has ample headroom at 4K for lower presets, but Ultra pushes it to the edge of the 60 FPS target. Notably, the Medium preset at 4K includes the only min/max data in the entire 4K set, with a 29 FPS spread between its 80 FPS minimum and 109 FPS maximum.

Moving to 2560x1440, the picture changes dramatically. Low settings average 230 FPS, Medium hits 176 FPS with a min/max of 149/202 FPS, High reaches 148 FPS, and Ultra still delivers 112 FPS. The minimum at Medium (149 FPS) is higher than the 4K Ultra average (61 FPS), demonstrating that resolution scaling is the primary performance lever here. Even at 1440p Ultra, the average is nearly double the 60 FPS threshold, so there is no realistic scenario where this combo struggles at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the numbers become almost theoretical. Low settings average 356 FPS, Medium averages 273 FPS with a min/max of 232/313 FPS, High averages 229 FPS, and Ultra averages 174 FPS. The 1080p Low result of 356 FPS is the highest average in the entire dataset, and even the most demanding 1080p preset (Ultra) runs at nearly three times the playable threshold. The min/max spread at Medium (232-313 FPS) shows a tight 81 FPS band, indicating frame pacing is stable.

Across all resolutions, the data shows a clear pattern: the RTX 4080's 16 GB GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient for Minimum's demands, and the Ryzen 5 7600's 6 cores and 12 threads never present a CPU-side bottleneck. The only configuration that approaches the playable limit is 4K Ultra, and even that stays at 61 FPS, not below.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on nearestRivals data, the CPU and GPU each have close competitors that would produce nearly identical performance in Minimum. For the AMD Ryzen 5 7600, the closest match is the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX with an average benchmark score of 26274, a delta of just 0.2% from the 7600's 26324 average. The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS is even closer in raw score at 26402 but is -0.3% relative, meaning it is technically slightly faster on average, though the difference is negligible in real-world gaming. The Intel Core i9-11900KF trails by 0.4% at 26212, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U finishes the group at 26187, 0.5% behind. None of these rivals would meaningfully change FPS in Minimum — the CPU is not the limiting factor in any measured preset.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, the GPU rivals are similarly tight. The RTX 4080 SUPER is the closest, with an average score of 54209 versus the RTX 4080's 54247, a delta of 0.1% — effectively identical performance. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, which is -1.1% relative (meaning the RTX 4080 is actually 1.1% faster), while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and AMD Radeon 8060S score 55698 and 55757 respectively, both -2.6% and -2.7% relative. These deltas are all under 3%, so swapping in any of these GPUs would produce FPS within a few frames of the measured results. In practice, a system with the RTX 4080 SUPER would be indistinguishable from the RTX 4080 in Minimum — the 0.1% delta is far smaller than run-to-run variance.

The practical takeaway is that this combo sits at a performance plateau where the GPU is the dominant factor. Any of the rival GPUs listed would deliver the same verdict at every resolution: 60+ FPS at all presets, with only 4K Ultra potentially dipping below if the delta were slightly larger. The CPU rivals are even less relevant, since the 7600's single-thread score of 999 in 3dmark is more than adequate for a 2014-era shooter.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database for Minimum, this AMD Ryzen 5 7600 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination ranks 246th out of 3712 tested combos. That places it in the top 6.6% of all systems tested — a strong showing, though not the absolute top tier, which is expected given that the RTX 4080 is an end-of-life product from the GeForce 40-series and the CPU is a mainstream 6-core part rather than a flagship.

The rank of 246 out of 3712 is driven primarily by the GPU's percentileVsAllGpus of 86, meaning the RTX 4080 outperforms 86% of all GPUs in the database. The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 78 is lower but still above average. The combination of a top-15% GPU with a top-25% CPU yields a top-7% overall system ranking for this game. Notably, the combo rank is better than the CPU percentile alone would suggest, confirming that Minimum is heavily GPU-bound in this configuration.

At 1080p, where CPU load is typically highest relative to GPU, the combo still ranks in the top 246, which means there is no anomalous CPU bottleneck. The 7600's passmark single-thread score of 3910 and 3dmark single-thread score of 999 are sufficient to keep the RTX 4080 fed even at 356 FPS average on Low settings. The data shows that this combo is not just playable, but actually overkill for most of the tested presets — the rank reflects that excess capability.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Minimum — and it can run it at the highest preset at every resolution tested. The verdictByResolution data lists all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080, with the playable threshold set at 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 61 FPS — exactly at the threshold, so this is technically playable but leaves no headroom for demanding scenes or background tasks. If the goal is a comfortable margin, dropping to High at 4K yields 79 FPS, which is a 30% increase over Ultra for a visual difference that may be imperceptible in a fast-paced shooter. At 2560x1440, Ultra runs at 112 FPS, more than double the threshold, and at 1920x1080, Ultra hits 174 FPS — nearly triple the threshold. The data clearly supports the conclusion that this combo is overbuilt for Minimum at any resolution below 4K, and at 4K it is still sufficient for Ultra.

The 61 FPS at 4K Ultra is the single data point to watch. It passes the threshold, but only by one frame. For a third-person shooter where frame drops can affect aiming, players at 4K might prefer High (79 FPS) or Medium (95 FPS) for stability. Every other preset at every other resolution has a minimum FPS (where reported) that stays above 60 — the lowest observed minimum is 80 FPS at 4K Medium.

FAQ

*Q: Can this system run Minimum at 4K Ultra settings?*

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra is 61 FPS, which meets the 60 FPS playable threshold. However, this is the only preset where the margin is under 20% — High at 4K runs at 79 FPS for more headroom.

Q: What is the highest FPS this combo achieves in the tested data?

A: The highest average FPS is 356 at 1920x1080 Low settings. The next highest is 273 FPS at 1080p Medium, followed by 230 FPS at 1440p Low.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck in this configuration?

A: The data shows the GPU is the dominant factor. The RTX 4080 has a percentileVsAllGpus of 86, while the Ryzen 5 7600 has a percentileVsAllCpus of 78. At 1080p Low (356 FPS), the CPU still delivers enough single-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 999) to avoid limiting the GPU.

Q: How does this combo compare to the RTX 4080 SUPER?

A: The RTX 4080 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 54209 versus the RTX 4080's 54247, a delta of only 0.1%. In practical terms, the two GPUs would produce nearly identical FPS in Minimum, within run-to-run variance.

Q: What is the recommended resolution for the best balance of visuals and performance?

A: 2560x1440 Ultra at 112 FPS average is the sweet spot in the data. It clears the 60 FPS threshold by 52 FPS, which is a 87% margin, while 4K Ultra only clears it by 1 FPS.

Q: Are there any settings presets that fail the 60 FPS requirement?

A: No. All four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) at all three resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 4K) are listed as playable in the verdictByResolution data. The lowest average is 61 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 174 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and it runs at nearly three times the playable threshold. There is no reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is also Ultra, with an average of 112 FPS. The margin over the 60 FPS threshold is substantial — 52 FPS, or 87% headroom. Ultra at 1440p is the recommended configuration for players who want maximum visual quality without compromising frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 61 FPS. This passes the threshold but with only 1 FPS of margin. While the data lists Ultra as playable at 4K, the 61 FPS average is close enough to the limit that players sensitive to frame drops should consider High (79 FPS) or Medium (95 FPS) for a more stable experience. The best settings per resolution, strictly defined as the highest preset that clears 60 FPS, is Ultra in all three cases — but the 4K Ultra result is the only one where the margin is not comfortable.
