CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 4070 SUPER shifts noticeably across resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU has more headroom relative to the GPU workload, evidenced by the massive frame rate spread between settings: Low hits 311.3 FPS while Ultra drops to 153.5 FPS. This 157.8 FPS gap suggests the GPU is the primary limiter even at lower resolutions, as the CPU can feed frames well beyond what the graphics card can render at higher presets.

Moving to 1440p, the scaling pattern remains similar but compressed. Low settings produce 197.6 FPS, Medium 150.6 FPS, High 129 FPS, and Ultra 100 FPS. The ratio between Low and Ultra is roughly 1.98x, compared to 2.03x at 1080p, indicating the GPU workload is scaling slightly more evenly with resolution. At 4K, the gap narrows further: Low yields 106.7 FPS while Ultra drops to 49.7 FPS, a 2.15x difference. This wider relative spread at 4K confirms the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as pixel count increases.

The RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth appear sufficient for Minimum at all tested resolutions, since even the highest settings at 4K complete benchmarks without indications of memory-related stuttering. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads with a 4.60 GHz boost clock provide ample processing power, as evidenced by the 311.3 FPS ceiling at 1080p Low — a figure that suggests the processor is not the bottleneck in any tested configuration. For this game, the GPU dictates playable settings at every resolution, while the CPU comfortably supports all frame rates measured.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080: The lowest resolution tested shows exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce 311.3 FPS average, which is the highest figure in the entire dataset. Medium settings reach 235 FPS, High delivers 199.7 FPS, and even Ultra maintains 153.5 FPS. All four presets exceed 150 FPS, making this resolution suitable for competitive play on high refresh rate monitors.

2560x1440: Performance remains strong at this mid-range resolution. Low settings average 197.6 FPS, representing only a 36.5% drop from the 1080p Low result. Medium follows at 150.6 FPS, High at 129 FPS, and Ultra at 100 FPS. The Ultra preset's 100 FPS exactly matches the 60 FPS playable threshold doubled, providing a comfortable margin for frame time variance.

3840x2160: The 4K results show the most significant performance scaling. Low settings average 106.7 FPS, which is still well above the playable threshold. Medium drops to 81.1 FPS, and High settles at 67.6 FPS. Ultra falls to 49.7 FPS, missing the 60 FPS target by 17.2%. The transition from High to Ultra at 4K represents a 17.9 FPS loss, the largest single-preset drop in the entire dataset, suggesting the Ultra preset at 4K imposes substantially heavier rendering demands.

All measured results are average FPS values; the data does not include minimum or maximum frame rate figures for any configuration. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS, and the verdict data confirms that 1080p and 1440p support all four settings presets, while 4K supports High, Medium, and Low but not Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

CPU rivals: The Ryzen 7 5700's average benchmark score of 25517 places it within a narrow band of comparable processors. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25530, just 0.1% higher, making it effectively identical in multi-threaded performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550, also 0.1% above, while the Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485, 0.1% lower. The closest match is the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U at 25446, which is 0.3% slower. All four rivals fall within a 0.4% performance envelope, meaning any of them would deliver indistinguishable frame rates in Minimum when paired with the same GPU.

GPU rivals: The RTX 4070 SUPER's average score of 43223 is tightly clustered with three other graphics cards. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43262, only 0.1% higher, while the RTX 5050 Mobile matches at 43268. The Quadro M6000 scores 43301, 0.2% above. The RTX 4090 Mobile leads the group at 43667, which is 1% faster. These deltas are minor enough that all four alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum — the RTX 4090 Mobile might show a single-digit FPS gain at most settings, but the practical gameplay difference would be negligible.

For a system builder considering substitutes, pairing any of the CPU rivals with any of the GPU rivals would yield performance within roughly 1% of the tested configuration. The Ryzen 7 5700's 65 W TDP and the RTX 4070 SUPER's 220 W TDP suggest similar power characteristics for these alternatives, though no power consumption data is provided for the rival parts.

How This Combo Ranks

The Ryzen 7 5700 + RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 679th out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum, placing it in the 81.7th percentile of all systems tested. This means roughly 82% of tested configurations perform worse in this game, while 18% perform better. Given that the combo achieves over 100 FPS at 1440p Ultra and over 150 FPS at 1080p Ultra, the systems ranked above it are likely running at even higher refresh rates or using more powerful GPUs with similar CPUs.

The ranking position relative to the individual component percentiles — CPU at 78th percentile and GPU at 83rd percentile — suggests the combo performs slightly better than the CPU's percentile alone would predict, while aligning closely with the GPU's strong showing. This indicates the RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary driver of the combo's ranking, with the Ryzen 7 5700 providing adequate support without holding back the graphics card in this particular title.

Among the 3712 tested combinations, this system sits comfortably in the upper quintile. The 4K High result of 67.6 FPS and 1440p Ultra result of 100 FPS are both strong indicators that this ranking reflects genuine high-end capability rather than merely adequate performance.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum at all three tested resolutions, with specific limitations only at 4K Ultra. At 1920x1080, all four settings presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra delivering 153.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same is true: Ultra runs at 100 FPS, providing a 66.7% margin above the playable threshold. At 3840x2160, High settings achieve 67.6 FPS, Medium reaches 81.1 FPS, and Low hits 106.7 FPS — all playable. However, 4K Ultra falls to 49.7 FPS, which is 17.2% below the 60 FPS threshold and would not be considered smooth.

For the best experience, 1440p Ultra is the recommended configuration, as it delivers the highest visual quality while maintaining 100 FPS. If 4K is the target, High settings provide the best balance with 67.6 FPS, leaving only a 7.6 FPS margin above playable — acceptable but with less headroom for demanding scenes. The system's top 18% ranking among tested combos confirms that this hardware is well above average for Minimum, and the 12 GB VRAM capacity ensures the game's textures are unlikely to cause memory-related performance drops at any tested resolution.
