Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti combination delivers a performance profile that is heavily dependent on resolution and graphical preset. The data indicates a system that excels at high refresh rate 1080p and 1440p gaming, while 4K requires more conservative settings to maintain smooth frame rates. The measured frame rates show a clear hierarchy: lower resolutions and settings yield substantially higher average FPS, with the gap between Low and Ultra presets widening as resolution decreases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces its highest frame rates across all settings. The Low preset averages 242.5 FPS, which is the single highest measured value in the dataset. Medium settings reach 183.4 FPS, while High settings deliver 155.5 FPS. The Ultra preset still maintains a strong 116.4 FPS average. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop of 126.1 FPS, representing a performance reduction of approximately 52% from the lowest to the highest preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very playable but show the expected impact of increased pixel count. Low settings average 152.5 FPS, Medium settings reach 116.9 FPS, and High settings deliver 99.2 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 76.6 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 75.9 FPS, which translates to a roughly 50% reduction in frame rate when moving from the lightest to the most demanding preset.

At 3840x2160, the performance profile changes significantly. The Low preset remains fluid at 80.6 FPS average, and Medium settings just clear the playable threshold at 61.4 FPS. High settings drop to 52.7 FPS average, while Ultra falls to 41.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 39.3 FPS, which is a smaller absolute difference than at lower resolutions but still represents a substantial 51% performance loss. The data shows that at 4K, the system is only capable of clearing the 60 FPS threshold with Low or Medium settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data for the CPU places the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 in a tight performance cluster. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25530 with a deltaPct of -0.1, meaning it is essentially identical in performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485 with a deltaPct of 0.1, also effectively matching. The AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550 with a deltaPct of -0.1, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25446 with a deltaPct of 0.3. All four rivals fall within a 0.4 deltaPct range, indicating that any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical gaming performance in this title.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti has nearestRivals that include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile with a score of 29928 and a deltaPct of 0.1. The AMD Radeon RX 6800 scores 30095 with a deltaPct of -0.5, meaning the RX 6800 is about half a percent faster in aggregate benchmark scores. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti scores 29783 with a deltaPct of 0.5, making it slightly slower than the RTX 3070 Ti. The AMD Radeon RX 6700 scores 30433 with a deltaPct of -1.6, which is the largest difference in this group, indicating the RX 6700 is approximately 1.6% faster overall. For practical purposes, any of these GPUs would deliver frame rates very close to what the RTX 3070 Ti achieves in Minimum.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component is the limiting factor. At 1920x1080, the GPU is clearly the primary constraint. The difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p is 126.1 FPS, which is the largest absolute spread in the dataset. This suggests that the CPU can feed the GPU fast enough at Low settings, but the GPU's workload increases substantially as settings rise.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues but with slightly less extreme scaling. The difference between Low and Ultra is 75.9 FPS. The average frame rates at 1440p are high enough that the CPU still has headroom, but the GPU is doing more work per frame. The fact that Low settings at 1440p (152.5 FPS) are only modestly lower than Low settings at 1080p (242.5 FPS) indicates that the GPU is still the primary bottleneck, as the CPU would likely deliver similar maximum frame rates at both resolutions if it were the limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes overwhelmingly dominant. The difference between Low and Ultra is 39.3 FPS, but the absolute frame rates are much lower. The gap between 1080p Low (242.5 FPS) and 4K Low (80.6 FPS) is 161.9 FPS, which is a massive reduction driven entirely by pixel count. This confirms that the RTX 3070 Ti is the limiting component at 4K, as the CPU has ample capacity to handle the frame generation at these lower frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame places this specific CPU and GPU pairing at rank 1366 out of 3712 tested combinations. This position in the upper third of all tested combos indicates that the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 3070 Ti are a strong pairing for this game. The rank reflects the measured performance across all resolutions and presets, not just the peak frame rates.

The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 78 means it performs better than 78% of all CPUs in the database. The GPU's percentileVsAllGpus of 75 indicates it outperforms 75% of all GPUs. When combined, these two components produce a system that ranks in the 36.8th percentile of tested combos (1366 divided by 3712). This is a solid result for a game like Minimum, which appears to be well-optimized given the high frame rates achieved even at demanding settings.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that this PC can run Minimum effectively. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the lowest being Ultra at 116.4 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets also clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 76.6 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium settings are playable, with Medium averaging 61.4 FPS and Low averaging 80.6 FPS. High settings at 4K fall short at 52.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 41.3 FPS.

The verdictByResolution confirms this analysis: 2560x1440 and 1920x1080 are fully playable at all settings, while 3840x2160 is only playable at Low and Medium. The best playable setting at 4K is Medium with an average of 61.4 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold. For users prioritizing visual quality at 4K, the system falls short of the playable threshold on High and Ultra presets.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 116.4 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available and provides a substantial margin above the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings are also the best choice, averaging 76.6 FPS. This provides a comfortable buffer above 60 FPS while delivering the maximum visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the best settings that maintain 60 FPS are Medium, averaging 61.4 FPS. This is the only setting above Low that achieves the playable threshold at this resolution, and it does so with a slim 1.4 FPS margin. Users who prioritize frame rate stability over visual quality may prefer Low settings at 80.6 FPS for a larger safety margin, but Medium offers the best balance of visual fidelity and playability at 4K.
