Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers a commanding performance profile in Minimum, a third-person shooter released on 2014-06-25. The measured data, collected from actual benchmarking, shows this pairing handles the game with substantial headroom across most settings, with the only notable exception being the Ultra preset at 4K. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS, and the dataset provides average FPS figures for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for this combo are extensive, covering 12 distinct configurations. At 1920x1080, the performance is exceptionally high across the board. The Low preset produces an average of 324.6 FPS, which is the highest figure recorded for this combo in any test. Stepping up to Medium yields 248.6 FPS, while High still manages a very robust 209 FPS. The Ultra preset, which is typically the most demanding, maintains an average of 160 FPS. None of these 1080p results dip anywhere near the 60 FPS threshold, indicating the CPU and GPU are not heavily stressed at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high but show the expected scaling cost. The Low preset delivers an average of 210.1 FPS, which is still more than triple the playable threshold. Medium drops to 159.7 FPS, and High follows at 136.6 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is particularly notable, as it maintains an average of 104.5 FPS, comfortably clearing the 60 FPS line. The data shows a clear pattern: each step up in settings costs roughly 30-50 FPS at this resolution, yet even the most demanding setting keeps the experience smooth.

At 3840x2160, the performance landscape changes significantly. The Low preset still delivers a playable 115 FPS average, and Medium maintains a solid 87.8 FPS. The High preset manages 75.7 FPS, which is above the threshold but with less headroom than at lower resolutions. The Ultra preset, however, falls below the playable line with an average of 55.9 FPS. This is the only configuration in the entire dataset that fails to reach 60 FPS, making it the sole point of concern for this hardware combination.

It is important to note that the dataset does not include min or max FPS values, only averages. The absence of minimum frame time data means the analysis relies on average performance, which can mask occasional stutters. Based on the averages alone, the combo provides a consistently high frame rate in nearly every scenario, with the 4K Ultra setting being the single outlier.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU in this system, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, has a percentile rank of 79 among all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 27636. Its nearest rivals in performance are closely matched. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X scores 27578, a delta of 0.2 percent, meaning it is virtually identical in throughput. Similarly, the Intel Core i5-12600K also scores 27578, another 0.2 percent delta. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE scores 27712, which is 0.3 percent higher, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 scores 27535, 0.4 percent lower. For gaming purposes, these tiny deltas are imperceptible, so any of these CPUs would produce nearly the same frame rates in Minimum when paired with the same GPU.

The GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, holds a percentile rank of 84 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44795. Its nearest rivals show slightly larger deltas. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile scores 45152, which is 0.8 percent higher, indicating the desktop card is marginally slower. The AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT scores 45384, 1.3 percent higher, and the Intel Arc A730M scores 45592, 1.7 percent higher. On the other side, the NVIDIA RTX A6000 scores 44075, which is 1.6 percent lower. These differences are small enough that the user would not notice a practical difference in frame rates. A system built with any of these CPUs or GPUs would behave similarly in Minimum, given the game’s relatively modest demands.

The interpretation here is that the combo sits in a performance tier where small benchmark deltas translate to negligible FPS differences. The CPU’s rivals are all within 0.4 percent, and the GPU’s rivals are within 1.7 percent, so the gaming experience would be effectively identical.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data allows for an analysis of how the CPU and GPU split their responsibilities across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system is likely CPU-bound at lower settings. The Low preset produces 324.6 FPS, while Medium drops to 248.6 FPS and High to 209 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 50.7 percent reduction in frame rate (from 324.6 to 160 FPS), which is a substantial hit driven by increased GPU load. However, the absolute numbers are so high that the CPU is keeping up with even the most demanding preset.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down as expected, but the pattern shifts. Low delivers 210.1 FPS, which is 35.3 percent lower than its 1080p counterpart, indicating a growing GPU bottleneck. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 50.3 percent (from 210.1 to 104.5 FPS), which is consistent with the 1080p scaling. This suggests the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor, as the CPU has ample headroom at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU role becomes dominant. Low produces 115 FPS, which is 45.2 percent lower than the 1440p Low result. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is 51.4 percent (from 115 to 55.9 FPS), which is the steepest drop in the dataset. The fact that Ultra falls below 60 FPS while High stays above it indicates that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and shading capacity are the deciding factors. The CPU, with its 12 threads and 32 MB of shared L3 cache, has enough compute to feed the GPU at 4K, but the RTX 4070 Ti’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are stretched by the Ultra preset’s demands.

The verdict is clear: at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU and GPU balance each other well, with the GPU taking on more load as resolution increases. At 4K, the GPU is the sole bottleneck, and the CPU’s performance is largely irrelevant to the final frame rate.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum effectively at all resolutions except for the most extreme configuration. According to the verdictByResolution data, the playable settings at 3840x2160 include High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best settings at an average of 75.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is not playable, as its 55.9 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, all four settings are playable, and the best is Ultra with an average of 104.5 FPS. This provides excellent visual quality with substantial headroom above the threshold. At 1920x1080, all settings are playable, with Ultra averaging 160 FPS. This is more than enough for high-refresh-rate displays.

The data indicates that the system clears 60 FPS in 11 out of 12 tested configurations. The only failure is the 4K Ultra setting, which misses the mark by 4.1 FPS. For users who prioritize visual fidelity at 4K, the High preset is the recommended choice, as it delivers 75.7 FPS and still provides a high-quality image. The system is otherwise fully capable of running the game smoothly.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank in game is 503 out of 3712 tested combinations. This places the system in the top 13.6 percent of all configurations tested. The percentile ranks for the individual components support this: the CPU sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU sits at the 84th percentile among all GPUs. The ranking indicates that this system outperforms the vast majority of other hardware pairings in Minimum, largely due to the GPU’s high compute capability and the CPU’s strong single-thread performance. The 4K Ultra shortfall prevents a higher rank, but the system’s overall capability is clearly above average.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is as follows. At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is High, which achieves an average of 75.7 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin over the threshold while offering better visual quality than Medium or Low. At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is Ultra, averaging 104.5 FPS. This allows for maximum visual fidelity with significant headroom. At 1920x1080, the best playable setting is also Ultra, averaging 160 FPS. The data confirms that the Ultra preset is playable at both 1440p and 1080p, but not at 4K. For users seeking the highest frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 324.6 FPS, but the Ultra preset at 1080p is recommended for a balanced experience.
