Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a decisive performance result for Minimum: this combination is fully capable of running the game at 60 FPS or higher across every tested resolution and preset, with the sole exception of 4K Ultra. Benchmark data shows the combo ranking in the 82nd percentile of all tested configurations for this title, placing it among the stronger systems evaluated. The measured frame rates are consistently high, often exceeding the 60 FPS playability threshold by a wide margin, which makes this pairing a straightforward recommendation for smooth gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this CPU-GPU combination covers three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a clear picture of performance scaling. All figures represent average frame rates, as the dataset does not include separate minimum or maximum values for any configuration.

At 1920x1080, the results are exceptionally high across the board. With Low settings, the system achieves an average of 307.5 FPS, which is the highest recorded frame rate in the entire dataset. Medium settings produce 236.1 FPS on average, while High settings deliver 198.2 FPS. Even the most demanding preset, Ultra, maintains an average of 154.3 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the RTX 4070 SUPER is nowhere near its performance ceiling for this game; every preset runs at more than double the 60 FPS playability threshold, and the gap between Low and Ultra is substantial but not prohibitive (a drop of roughly 153 FPS from Low to Ultra). For competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors, the Low and Medium presets offer headroom well beyond standard 144 Hz displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows expected scaling pressure. Low settings deliver an average of 197 FPS, which is still an outstanding result. Medium settings produce 151.9 FPS on average, High settings reach 127.4 FPS, and Ultra settings maintain 98.5 FPS. The difference between 1080p and 1440p at the same preset is notable: for example, Ultra drops from 154.3 FPS to 98.5 FPS, a reduction of about 36%. This pattern is consistent with the GPU becoming more load-bound as pixel count increases, but all 1440p presets remain comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, with even the heaviest preset holding nearly 40 FPS of headroom. The data suggests that 1440p Ultra is a very viable option for users who prioritize visual fidelity over raw frame rate.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the performance profile changes character. Low settings still deliver a solid 105.6 FPS on average, and Medium settings produce 83.8 FPS. High settings maintain 70.1 FPS, which remains above the 60 FPS threshold. However, Ultra settings drop to 53.7 FPS on average, falling below the playability threshold. This is the only configuration in the entire dataset that fails to reach 60 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a reduction of roughly 49% (from 105.6 to 53.7 FPS), indicating that the GPU is increasingly strained by the combination of high resolution and maximum settings. For 4K gaming, users would need to select High settings or lower to ensure a smooth experience, as the data clearly shows Ultra is not viable at this resolution.

Across all resolutions, the frame rate deltas between presets are consistent with the expected workload scaling. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth appear sufficient for this title at every tested setting, as there are no anomalies or unexpected drops in the data. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, does not appear to bottleneck the GPU at any resolution, given that even the lowest frame rates (4K Ultra) remain above 50 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 673rd out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum, placing it in the top 18.1% of all configurations evaluated. This percentile positioning reflects a system that performs well above average for this title, though it is not among the absolute top-tier setups.

The ranking is driven by the GPU’s strong showing. The RTX 4070 SUPER sits in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs based on its average benchmark score of 43223. Its nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (average score 43262, delta of -0.1%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43268, -0.1%), and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43301, -0.2%). The RTX 4090 Mobile (43667) is 1% ahead, which is a notable but small gap. This suggests the desktop RTX 4070 SUPER performs essentially on par with high-end mobile RTX 4090 hardware in synthetic benchmarks, which translates into the strong frame rates observed in Minimum.

The CPU contributes positively as well. The Ryzen 5 8400F holds the 77th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25005. Its nearest rivals are extremely close: the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (24964, 0.2% slower), Intel Core i7-11850H (24935, 0.3% slower), and Intel Core i7-13620H (24911, 0.4% slower) are all within a fraction of a percent, while the AMD EPYC 9474F (25103) is 0.4% faster. This clustering indicates that the 8400F is a middle-of-the-pack performer among its immediate competitors, but its single-thread and multi-thread scores (e.g., 2943 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 20851 in multi-core) are more than adequate for gaming workloads.

Relative to other combos in the database, the 673rd rank out of 3712 puts this system ahead of the majority of tested configurations. The data does not specify which presets or resolutions were used for the ranking, but given the measured FPS results, it is clear that this combo will outperform many systems that rely on weaker GPUs or CPUs. The rank also implies that users of this combo can expect performance in the upper quartile of all systems tested for Minimum, which is consistent with the high frame rates observed across most settings.

A: Ultra settings at 1080p deliver 154.3 FPS on average, which is far above the 60 FPS threshold. This is the most demanding preset available, and it still provides more than double the playable frame rate, making it the clear choice for 1080p.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For users considering this CPU-GPU combination, the nearestRivals data provides insight into what other hardware would perform similarly. The CPU’s closest alternatives are all within a 0.4% performance delta, meaning they would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is the most direct alternative, with an average benchmark score of 24964 versus the 8400F’s 25005 (0.2% slower). This CPU would likely yield frame rates within a rounding error of the 8400F in gaming workloads. The Intel Core i7-11850H (24935, 0.3% slower) and Intel Core i7-13620H (24911, 0.4% slower) are also extremely close, though these are mobile processors typically found in laptops, so they are less relevant for a desktop build. The AMD EPYC 9474F (25103, 0.4% faster) is a server-class chip, which would not be a practical choice for gaming.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER’s nearest rivals are all within 1% performance. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262, 0.1% higher) and NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43301, 0.2% higher) are workstation cards that would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Minimum, though they lack the gaming-oriented features of the GeForce line. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43268, 0.1% higher) is a laptop GPU, so it is not a direct desktop alternative. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (43667, 1% higher) is also a mobile part, but its performance is close enough that a desktop system with a full RTX 4090 would be noticeably faster, not just a 1% delta.

In practical terms, a system with the Ryzen 5 7500F instead of the 8400F would behave almost identically in Minimum, as would a system with a Quadro M6000 24 GB instead of the RTX 4070 SUPER. The frame rate differences would be imperceptible, likely less than 1 FPS in most scenarios. Users who cannot find the 8400F or RTX 4070 SUPER in stock could confidently substitute these alternatives without changing their gaming experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

The optimal settings for each resolution are determined by identifying the most demanding preset that still maintains an average frame rate at or above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the best setting is High, which achieves an average of 70.1 FPS. This is the highest preset that clears the 60 FPS bar. Medium (83.8 FPS) and Low (105.6 FPS) also work, but High offers the best visual quality while remaining above the threshold. Ultra is not playable at 4K, as it drops to 53.7 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is Ultra, which delivers an average of 98.5 FPS. All presets at this resolution are playable, including Low (197 FPS), Medium (151.9 FPS), and High (127.4 FPS). Ultra provides the maximum visual fidelity while still maintaining nearly 40 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the recommended choice.

At 1920x1080, the best setting is also Ultra, with an average of 154.3 FPS. This is the most demanding preset, and it still runs at more than double the playable frame rate. Lower presets offer even higher frame rates (Low: 307.5 FPS, Medium: 236.1 FPS, High: 198.2 FPS), but Ultra is the clear best choice for users who want the highest quality without sacrificing smoothness.

In summary, the data supports using Ultra at 1080p and 1440p, but dropping to High at 4K to stay above 60 FPS.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a definitive yes for running Minimum at 60 FPS or higher, with only one caveat. The verdictByResolution data is unambiguous: at 1920x1080, all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with the best setting being Ultra at 154.3 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four settings are also playable, with Ultra at 98.5 FPS as the best choice. At 3840x2160, three settings are playable — High (70.1 FPS), Medium (83.8 FPS), and Low (105.6 FPS) — but Ultra falls short at 53.7 FPS.

This makes the combo highly capable for most gaming scenarios. For 1080p and 1440p users, this system offers maximum settings with frame rates well above 60 FPS, often exceeding 100 FPS. For 4K users, the system can still run the game smoothly at High settings, which is a strong result given that 4K Ultra is typically reserved for the most powerful GPUs. The 12 GB of VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are clearly sufficient for this title, as evidenced by the consistently high frame rates across resolutions.

The overall ranking of 673rd out of 3712 combos reinforces the conclusion that this is a well-above-average system for Minimum. The data shows no signs of CPU limitation, and the GPU’s performance is comparable to much more expensive workstation cards. The only scenario where this combo fails to meet the 60 FPS threshold is 4K Ultra, which requires a GPU with more raw compute power. For every other configuration tested, the system delivers a smooth, high-frame-rate experience. Users targeting 4K should stick to High settings; those on 1080p or 1440p can max everything out.
