Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination delivers a wide spread of performance in Minimum, a third-person shooter from 2014. The recorded data shows that the pairing is highly capable at mainstream resolutions, but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K with elevated presets. The measurements reveal a clear pattern: the RTX 2070 SUPER becomes the limiting factor as resolution climbs, while the Ryzen 5 7600X provides ample headroom at lower settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains 12 measured data points for this combination, covering three resolutions and four quality presets. All figures represent average FPS, as minimum and maximum values were not recorded for this title.

At 1920x1080, the results are uniformly high. The Low preset produces an average of 189.1 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded for this combo. Moving to Medium drops the average to 146.5 FPS, a reduction of 42.6 FPS from Low. The High preset yields 118.6 FPS, while the demanding Ultra preset still manages an average of 93.1 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 96.0 FPS swing, indicating that the GPU has significant performance reserves at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but the gaps between presets narrow in percentage terms. Low averages 119.8 FPS, Medium drops to 92.8 FPS, High comes in at 80.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 61.9 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 57.9 FPS. Notably, the Ultra preset at 1440p is the only configuration in this resolution group that approaches the 60 FPS threshold, sitting just 1.9 FPS above it.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. Low is the only preset that clears the playable threshold, averaging 67.5 FPS. Medium drops to 49.6 FPS, High falls further to 45.1 FPS, and Ultra plunges to 31.9 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 35.6 FPS, but the absolute values show that the RTX 2070 SUPER is heavily loaded at this resolution. The Ultra preset at 4K produces less than one-third of the frame rate seen at 1080p Low.

Best Settings per Resolution

The playable threshold in the database is set at 60 FPS. For each resolution, the best settings are defined as the most demanding preset that maintains an average at or above this threshold.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best settings choice. It averages 93.1 FPS, which is 33.1 FPS above the playable threshold. This leaves substantial headroom for demanding scenes or background tasks. The High preset at 118.6 FPS and Medium at 146.5 FPS are also viable, but Ultra provides the maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also qualifies, but with far less margin. It averages 61.9 FPS, just 1.9 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. This indicates that Ultra at 1440p is playable in the average case, but frame pacing could become an issue in heavy moments. The High preset at 80.6 FPS offers a safer alternative for those who prefer a buffer, though the data shows Ultra does clear the bar.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset meets the playable threshold. It averages 67.5 FPS, which is 7.5 FPS above 60. The Medium preset at 49.6 FPS falls 10.4 FPS short, making it unsuitable for consistent 60 FPS play. The High preset at 45.1 FPS and Ultra at 31.9 FPS are both well below the threshold. For 4K users, Low is the only settings level that delivers playable performance, and even it has limited headroom.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals a clear division of labor between the Ryzen 5 7600X and the RTX 2070 SUPER. At 1920x1080, the CPU has a more prominent role, as the GPU is able to produce very high frame rates. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p reduces the average FPS by 96.0, but even at Ultra the frame rate stays above 90. This suggests that the CPU can feed the GPU efficiently across all presets, and the GPU is the primary limiter only at the highest settings.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts. The difference between Low and Ultra is 57.9 FPS, but the absolute values are lower than at 1080p. This indicates that the GPU is taking on more work per frame, while the CPU still has headroom. The Ryzen 5 7600X, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, does not appear to bottleneck the RTX 2070 SUPER at this resolution, as the frame rates scale consistently with preset changes.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the overwhelming bottleneck. The Ultra preset at 4K produces 31.9 FPS, while the same preset at 1080p produces 93.1 FPS. This 61.2 FPS difference is almost entirely due to the GPU's pixel throughput limits. The RTX 2070 SUPER has 2560 shading units and a pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s, and the 4K resolution demands far more of these resources. The CPU's role diminishes because the GPU cannot generate frames fast enough to stress it. The data shows that the Ryzen 5 7600X is not the limiting factor in any configuration; the RTX 2070 SUPER dictates the ceiling at higher resolutions and presets.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers the question directly: yes, this PC can run Minimum at 60 FPS, but only under specific conditions. The verdict by resolution shows that at 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) clear the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset averages 93.1 FPS, making it the recommended choice for full visual fidelity at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear 60 FPS, but the Ultra preset only averages 61.9 FPS. This is playable, but with minimal margin. The High preset at 80.6 FPS is a safer choice for consistent performance.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset clears 60 FPS, averaging 67.5 FPS. Medium (49.6 FPS), High (45.1 FPS), and Ultra (31.9 FPS) all fall short. For 4K gaming, users must accept Low settings to maintain playability. The data indicates that this combination is a strong 1080p and 1440p performer, but a marginal 4K option limited to low graphical details.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide context for what other hardware would behave similarly. The Ryzen 5 7600X has an average benchmark score of 27636. Its closest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE (score 27712, 0.3% faster), the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (score 27578, 0.2% slower), and the Intel Core i5-12600K (score 27578, 0.2% slower). The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (score 27535) is 0.4% slower. These processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios, meaning the 1080p Low and Medium results would be very close.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (score 20480, 1.0% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (score 20534, 1.2% faster), the Intel Arc B570 (score 20556, 1.3% faster), and the Intel Arc A750 (score 20582, 1.5% faster). These GPUs would produce similar frame rates in GPU-bound scenarios, such as 4K Ultra. A system with any of these rival GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would likely see FPS differences of about 1 to 2 percent, which is within the margin of run-to-run variance.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7600X and RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 2125 out of 3712 tested combos in the database for Minimum. This places it in the upper half of all tested configurations, specifically at the 57th percentile of the 3712 combos (2125 divided by 3712). The ranking reflects the GPU's age and its limitations at 4K, balanced against the CPU's strong single-thread and multi-thread performance. The combo outperforms many older pairings but trails more modern high-end GPUs. The rank suggests that this system is a solid mid-range performer, capable of high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but not a top-tier contender for 4K gaming.
