Minimum

Best Settings per Resolution

The recorded data shows that this combination of an AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 struggles to maintain smooth gameplay at higher resolutions. The playable threshold is set at 60 FPS, and the benchmark results indicate that only 1920x1080 offers any settings that clear this bar.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS target. The highest recorded average is 26.6 FPS on Low settings, with High at 21 FPS, Medium at 19.8 FPS, and Ultra at 16.2 FPS. All of these fall well below the playable threshold, meaning this resolution is not viable for this game with this hardware.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly but remains below the 60 FPS target. Low settings produce an average of 52.6 FPS, which is the best result at this resolution. Medium delivers 42.5 FPS, High drops to 34.4 FPS, and Ultra sits at 28.7 FPS. None of these reach the 60 FPS line, so 1440p is also not playable with this configuration.

At 1920x1080, the data shows two settings that clear the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings average 82.3 FPS, which is comfortably above the target. Medium settings average 60.9 FPS, just barely crossing the line. The best playable setting is Medium with an average of 60.9 FPS, as it offers more visual fidelity than Low while still maintaining the minimum acceptable frame rate. High settings fall to 54 FPS, and Ultra drops to 40.2 FPS, both below the threshold.

For the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution, the answer is straightforward: only 1920x1080 has a qualifying preset, and that preset is Medium at 60.9 FPS. The other resolutions have no qualifying settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the workload shifts between the CPU and GPU across resolutions and presets. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a capable desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, and it scores in the 78th percentile among all CPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, however, sits in the 40th percentile among all GPUs, indicating that the graphics card is the limiting factor in most scenarios.

Looking at the scaling from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the frame rate drops significantly at every preset. For Low settings, the average falls from 82.3 FPS to 52.6 FPS, a reduction of roughly 36%. For Medium, the drop is from 60.9 FPS to 42.5 FPS, about 30%. High settings go from 54 FPS to 34.4 FPS, a 36% decline. Ultra falls from 40.2 FPS to 28.7 FPS, about 29%. This consistent decline across all presets indicates that pixel throughput is the dominant constraint, which points to the GPU as the primary bottleneck.

The scaling from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 is even more severe. Low settings drop from 52.6 FPS to 26.6 FPS, a 49% reduction. Medium falls from 42.5 FPS to 19.8 FPS, a 53% decline. High goes from 34.4 FPS to 21 FPS, about 39%. Ultra drops from 28.7 FPS to 16.2 FPS, a 44% reduction. The near-halving of frame rates at higher resolutions confirms that the GTX 1650's 4 GB GDDR5 memory and 128.1 GB/s bandwidth cannot feed the render pipeline fast enough as pixel count grows.

At 1920x1080, the CPU's strength becomes more apparent. The Ryzen 7 5700's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3dmark single-thread score of 901 and a passmark single-thread score of 3296, allows the system to push frame rates up to 82.3 FPS on Low settings. The gap between Low and Medium at 1080p is about 21 FPS, and between Medium and High is about 7 FPS, showing that the GPU still limits quality settings even when resolution is manageable.

The conclusion from the data is clear: the GPU dominates performance at every resolution and preset combination. The Ryzen 7 5700 provides enough CPU headroom that it never becomes the limiting factor, but the GTX 1650 cannot keep pace above 1080p. The percentile difference, 78 for the CPU versus 40 for the GPU, reinforces this interpretation.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160

The data shows no playable settings at 4K. Low settings produce an average of 26.6 FPS, which is the best result at this resolution. High settings average 21 FPS, Medium averages 19.8 FPS, and Ultra averages 16.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is about 10.4 FPS, indicating that quality settings have a measurable but limited impact when the GPU is already overwhelmed. Min and max frame rates were not recorded for any setting at this resolution.

2560x1440

At 1440p, Low settings deliver an average of 52.6 FPS, the highest of any preset here. Medium averages 42.5 FPS, High averages 34.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 28.7 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is about 10 FPS, and between Medium and High is about 8 FPS. The step from High to Ultra is about 6 FPS. All presets fall short of the 60 FPS target, with Low being the closest at roughly 7 FPS below the threshold. Min and max values are not present in the recorded data for this resolution.

1920x1080

At 1080p, the data shows a wider spread of results. Low settings average 82.3 FPS, the highest recorded value for this combination. Medium averages 60.9 FPS, which clears the playable threshold by a narrow margin. High averages 54 FPS, about 6 FPS short of the target. Ultra averages 40.2 FPS, a substantial drop from High. The scaling from Low to Medium is about 21 FPS, from Medium to High is about 7 FPS, and from High to Ultra is about 14 FPS. This indicates that the Ultra preset imposes a significantly heavier load on the GPU than High, likely due to additional effects or shadow quality. Min and max frame rates were not captured, so only average values are available for analysis.

The overall pattern across all resolutions shows that the GTX 1650 delivers its best results at 1080p Low, and that the playable range is limited to Low and Medium at that resolution only. The recorded average FPS values are consistent with the GPU's passmark g3d score of 7880 and its 40th percentile ranking.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide useful context for what other hardware might behave similarly in this game.

CPU alternatives: The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 has an average benchmark score of 25517, placing it near several other processors. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25530, which is 0.1% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550, also 0.1% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485, which is 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25446, which is 0.3% lower. These processors are all within a fraction of a percent of the Ryzen 7 5700's average score, meaning they would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in this game, assuming the same GPU is paired with them. The small deltas suggest that swapping among these CPUs would not change the playability outcome at any resolution.

GPU alternatives: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 has an average benchmark score of 7472. The Intel Arc A310 scores 7550, which is 1% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 8850M scores 7447, which is 0.3% lower. The Intel UHD Graphics 750 scores 7441, which is 0.4% lower. The AMD Radeon R7 350 scores 7425, which is 0.6% lower. These GPUs are extremely close in average score, with the largest delta being just 1%. In practice, this means that pairing the Ryzen 7 5700 with any of these graphics cards would yield similar frame rates in Minimum. The Intel Arc A310 might offer a marginal improvement, but the difference is small enough that the playable settings at 1080p would likely remain Low and Medium, and 1440p and 4K would still fall short of 60 FPS.

It is worth remembering the GTX 1650's nearest rivals include both discrete and integrated graphics solutions. The Intel UHD Graphics 750 is an integrated solution, and its proximity to the GTX 1650's score (within 0.4%) indicates that the GTX 1650 is not far ahead of modern iGPUs in synthetic benchmarks. However, the recorded game data for this specific combination shows that the GTX 1650 still manages to deliver 60+ FPS at 1080p Medium, which is a meaningful result for players targeting 1080p.

The Verdict

The question is whether this PC can run Minimum, and the answer depends entirely on the target resolution. The verdict by resolution is clear and unambiguous.

At 3840x2160, the system cannot run the game at any preset. There are no playable settings, and the best average is 26.6 FPS on Low. This resolution is not viable.

At 2560x1440, the system also fails to reach the 60 FPS threshold at any preset. The best result is 52.6 FPS on Low, which is below the playable line. This resolution is not viable.

At 1920x1080, the system can run the game. The playable settings are Low and Medium, with Medium being the best playable preset at 60.9 FPS. Low is even faster at 82.3 FPS. High and Ultra fall short at 54 FPS and 40.2 FPS respectively.

The overall verdict is that this PC can run Minimum, but only at 1080p with reduced settings. The Ryzen 7 5700 provides more than enough CPU performance, as its 78th percentile ranking suggests, but the GTX 1650's 40th percentile ranking and 4 GB memory capacity limit the system to entry-level 1080p gaming. The data shows a clear ceiling: Low and Medium at 1920x1080. Players who want higher settings or higher resolutions would need a more powerful GPU, but for a 1080p experience at Medium quality, this configuration meets the 60 FPS threshold. The benchmark results indicate that this is a functional 1080p gaming setup for Minimum, not a high-refresh or high-resolution one.
