Minimum

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 2,695th out of 3,712 tested combinations in the database for Minimum. This places the combo in the lower-middle portion of the overall ranking distribution, at roughly the 27th percentile of all recorded pairings. The ranking reflects that while this hardware can handle the game at several resolutions and presets, it does not deliver top-tier performance across the board.

The CPU itself sits in the 78th percentile against all processors in the database, with an average benchmark score of 25,517. Its nearest rivals are remarkably close in aggregate performance: the Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25,530 (a 0.1% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25,485 (a 0.1% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25,550 (a 0.1% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25,446 (a 0.3% delta). These differences are negligible in real-world gaming terms, meaning the CPU is competitive with a broad cluster of similar-performance parts.

The GPU is less impressive in relative terms, sitting at the 62nd percentile against all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 18,093. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile at 18,159 (a 0.4% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 at 18,189 (a 0.5% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 460 at 18,373 (a 1.5% delta), and the Intel Arc A770M at 18,383 (a 1.6% delta). The GPU is essentially tied with these parts in raw compute performance, though actual gaming results will vary by title.

The combination of a strong CPU and a mid-tier GPU means the system is more likely to be GPU-limited in demanding scenarios but has enough processor headroom to avoid severe bottlenecks in lighter settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160 (4K), no preset achieves the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest recorded average is 57.8 FPS on Low settings, which falls just short of playable. High delivers 40.3 FPS, Medium delivers 42.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 30.0 FPS. The database records no playable settings at this resolution.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 71.7 FPS. This is comfortably above the threshold. Low runs at 109.5 FPS and Medium at 84.6 FPS, but High is the best visual quality that maintains playability. Ultra falls to 51.4 FPS, which is below the threshold.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 81.4 FPS. This is the best possible settings for this resolution. Lower presets also clear the threshold: High at 107.2 FPS, Medium at 132.4 FPS, and Low at 168.4 FPS.

The data shows a clear pattern: the system can run the game at maximum settings only at 1080p. At 1440p, the ceiling is High settings. At 4K, even the lowest preset is not enough to reach a playable frame rate.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant limiting factor as resolution increases. At 1080p, the frame rate differences between presets are large: Low produces 168.4 FPS, while Ultra produces 81.4 FPS. This spread of 87 FPS shows that the GPU is still the primary constraint even at the lowest resolution, though the CPU has enough headroom to push very high frame rates on lighter settings.

At 1440p, the same preset spread narrows: Low produces 109.5 FPS, Medium 84.6 FPS, High 71.7 FPS, and Ultra 51.4 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 58.1 FPS, which is substantial but less extreme than at 1080p. The GPU load is increasing, and the CPU contribution becomes relatively less important.

At 4K, the preset spread compresses further: Low produces 57.8 FPS, Medium 42.8 FPS, High 40.3 FPS, and Ultra 30.0 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is only 27.8 FPS, indicating that the GPU is heavily saturated at this resolution. The CPU is no longer the limiting factor; the graphics card is working at its limits across all settings.

The scaling between resolutions reinforces this interpretation. At Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rate by 58.9 FPS (from 168.4 to 109.5). Moving from 1440p to 4K reduces it by another 51.7 FPS (from 109.5 to 57.8). This is a typical pattern for a GPU-bound title. At Ultra settings, the same resolution steps produce drops of 30.0 FPS (from 81.4 to 51.4) and 21.4 FPS (from 51.4 to 30.0), respectively. The diminishing gaps at higher resolutions confirm that the GPU is the dominant factor, with the CPU providing diminishing returns as pixel count increases.

For this game, the CPU is sufficient to avoid bottlenecks at all tested presets and resolutions. The RTX 2060 SUPER is the component that determines whether a given settings combination is playable.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Xeon D-2752TER, the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U, the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U. All four have average benchmark scores within 0.3% of the Ryzen 7 5700. A system using any of these processors would produce essentially identical frame rates in Minimum, assuming the same GPU and memory configuration. The Ryzen 5 6600H is the closest match at a 0.1% delta, while the Ryzen 7 5825U is slightly ahead at 0.3% delta.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, the AMD Radeon Pro 5700, the AMD Radeon RX 460, and the Intel Arc A770M. The RTX 3060 Mobile is the closest at a 0.4% delta, followed by the Radeon Pro 5700 at 0.5% delta. The Radeon RX 460 and Arc A770M are slightly further away at 1.5% and 1.6% deltas, respectively. In practice, swapping the RTX 2060 SUPER for any of these cards would yield very similar performance in Minimum, with differences well within measurement noise.

The database suggests that this combo is part of a dense performance cluster. Users with any of these CPU or GPU alternatives can expect comparable results, assuming the rest of the system is consistent.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data covers three resolutions and four settings levels each, for a total of twelve measured scenarios. All values are average frame rates; minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded in the database.

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 168.4 FPS average
• Medium: 132.4 FPS average
• High: 107.2 FPS average
• Ultra: 81.4 FPS average

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 109.5 FPS average
• Medium: 84.6 FPS average
• High: 71.7 FPS average
• Ultra: 51.4 FPS average

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 57.8 FPS average
• Medium: 42.8 FPS average
• High: 40.3 FPS average
• Ultra: 30.0 FPS average

The data shows a monotonic decrease in frame rate as both resolution and settings quality increase, which is expected for a GPU-bound scenario. The largest single-step drop occurs between 1080p Low and 1440p Low, a reduction of 58.9 FPS. The smallest drop occurs between 4K High and 4K Ultra, a reduction of 10.3 FPS. The relationship between settings and frame rate is not linear; the gap between Low and Medium is larger than the gap between Medium and High at both 1080p and 1440p, suggesting diminishing returns at higher quality levels.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Minimum? The answer depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the system is fully capable: all four presets, including Ultra, clear the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best playable settings are Ultra with an average of 81.4 FPS, which provides a comfortable margin above the threshold.

At 2560x1440, the system remains playable but with a lower settings ceiling. High, Medium, and Low all clear 60 FPS, with High being the best quality option at 71.7 FPS. Ultra drops to 51.4 FPS, which is below the threshold and therefore not recommended if a steady 60 FPS is required.

At 3840x2160, the system cannot reach 60 FPS at any settings level. The closest is Low at 57.8 FPS, which is just shy of the threshold. All other presets fall further behind, with Ultra at 30.0 FPS. The database records no playable settings at this resolution.

In summary, the combo is suitable for 1080p gaming with maximum settings and for 1440p gaming with high settings. It is not suitable for 4K gaming at any quality level, as even the lowest preset fails to reach the playable threshold.
