Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers overwhelming frame rates in Minimum, ranking first out of 3,712 tested combos. At every resolution and preset combination, the system stays far above the 60 FPS playability threshold, with the weakest recorded average still hitting 116 FPS at 4K Ultra. This is a maximally capable configuration for the game, leaving no scenario where performance becomes a concern.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces exceptional results across all settings. Low averages 594 FPS, Medium averages 506 FPS with a minimum of 430 FPS and maximum of 582 FPS, High averages 429 FPS, and Ultra averages 323 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 271 FPS, indicating that even at the most demanding preset, the system retains more than five times the playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains extraordinarily high. Low reaches 389 FPS on average, Medium averages 331 FPS with a minimum of 282 FPS and maximum of 381 FPS, High delivers 281 FPS, and Ultra still manages 211 FPS. The gap between 1080p and 1440p at the same settings is consistent: Ultra drops from 323 to 211 FPS (a 35% reduction), while Low falls from 594 to 389 FPS (a 35% reduction). This suggests scaling is primarily resolution-bound rather than setting-bound.

At 3840x2160, the system finally shows meaningful load but remains thoroughly playable. Low averages 215 FPS, Medium averages 183 FPS with a minimum of 155 FPS and maximum of 210 FPS, High delivers 155 FPS, and Ultra averages 116 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only figure below 120 FPS, yet it still nearly doubles the 60 FPS threshold. The minimum recorded FPS at 4K Medium is 155, which exceeds the playability mark by a wide margin.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that this game is heavily GPU-bound at lower resolutions, with CPU headroom becoming relevant only as resolution scales. At 1080p Low, the average of 594 FPS suggests the graphics card is not the limiting factor; the Ryzen 5 7600's single-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 999 and passmark single-thread score of 3910) is sufficient to feed the RTX 5070 at extreme frame rates. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, provide ample throughput for a 2014-era third-person shooter.

As resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the GPU's role becomes more dominant. The RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth handles the higher pixel counts efficiently. The transition from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra reduces average FPS from 323 to 116, a 64% drop. This aligns with the GPU's rendering load increasing roughly fourfold in pixel count, though the actual frame loss is proportionally smaller due to the game's age and optimization.

The CPU's contribution is most evident in the minimum FPS figures. At both 1080p Medium and 1440p Medium, the minimums (430 and 282 FPS) sit close to 85% of the averages (506 and 331 FPS), indicating stable frame pacing without CPU-induced stutters. The Ryzen 5 7600's passmark physics score of 1776 and cinebench R23 multicore score of 12735 confirm that even complex scene loads do not bottleneck this combination.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks first overall in Minimum among 3,712 tested combinations. This top position is consistent with the raw performance of both components: the RTX 5070 sits at the 82nd percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 40,377, while the Ryzen 5 7600 sits at the 78th percentile among CPUs with an average score of 26,324.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the benchmark database are the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (0.1% lower score), AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 (0.8% lower), and NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile (2.0% higher). The RTX 5070 outperforms the Radeon Pro 580 and Pro WX 7100 by margins of 0.1% and 0.8% respectively, while trailing the RTX A500 Mobile by 2.0%. These are tight margins, indicating the RTX 5070 sits in a competitive performance band, but its combination with the Ryzen 5 7600 yields the best game-specific result.

For the CPU, the nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (0.2% higher), AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (0.3% lower), Intel Core i9-11900KF (0.4% higher), and AMD Ryzen 5 8540U (0.5% higher). The Ryzen 5 7600's scores cluster tightly with these parts, differing by less than one percent in all cases. This near-parity in synthetic benchmarks makes the game-specific ranking more meaningful: the 7600's 5.10 GHz boost clock and Zen 4 architecture deliver the frame rates that secure the number one position.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 323 FPS. Since all settings clear the threshold easily, Ultra is the recommended choice for maximum visual quality.

At 2560x1440, Ultra also remains the best setting, averaging 211 FPS. The minimum FPS at Medium is 282, and even the lowest preset (Low) averages 389 FPS, so there is no risk of dropping below 60 FPS at any setting.

At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 116 FPS, which is the lowest measured result in the entire dataset but still comfortably above 60 FPS. Medium averages 183 FPS with a minimum of 155, offering a more consistent frame rate for users who prioritize stability over maximum fidelity. However, Ultra remains playable and is the best setting per the data.

The Verdict

This PC runs Minimum without any compromises. The verdict by resolution confirms that all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at every tested resolution, from 1080p to 4K. The strongest result is at 1080p Ultra with 323 FPS average, and the weakest is at 4K Ultra with 116 FPS average. Both figures are well above the 60 FPS threshold.

The combination ranks first among 3,712 tested combos, and the measured data supports this position. The RTX 5070's 12 GB GDDR7 memory and 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 performance, paired with the Ryzen 5 7600's 5.10 GHz boost clock, deliver frame rates that exceed any practical display refresh rate. For a game released in 2014, this hardware is effectively overkill, but the data confirms it achieves maximum playability at all settings and resolutions.
