Minimum

This PC configuration ranks 347th out of 3,712 tested combos for Minimum, placing it in the top 9.4% of all systems. That percentile position is strong, but the more interesting story emerges when looking at how the rank translates into real-world playability across resolutions. The combo sits comfortably above the median tested system, and the data shows it delivers playable frame rates at every resolution and preset combination tested, with the sole exception of Ultra settings at 3840x2160, which dips to 58.4 FPS.

The ranking reflects a pairing of a mid-range 2022 CPU with a high-end 2024 GPU. The CPU’s 78th percentile ranking among all processors and the GPU’s 86th percentile among all graphics cards suggest a system that is well-balanced for gaming, though the GPU clearly carries more weight in this title. The benchmark scores reinforce this: the Ryzen 7 5700 posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20,655 and a single-core score of 2,916, while the RTX 4080 SUPER achieves a Passmark G3D score of 34,245. These are strong numbers individually, but their combined effect in Minimum is what matters, and the measured FPS data confirms the synergy works well.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 347 out of 3,712 tested combinations puts it in the 90.6th percentile of all systems tested for this game. That is a very strong showing, but it is not an outlier at the very top. The data suggests this system is firmly in the upper echelon, capable of handling demanding scenarios without breaking a sweat. For context, the CPU’s average benchmark score of 25,517 places it just 0.1% behind the Intel Xeon D-2752TER and 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U, meaning the processor is performing exactly where its specifications suggest it should.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 54,209 is nearly identical to the RTX 4080’s score of 54,247, a difference of only 0.1%, confirming that the SUPER variant offers marginal raw performance gains over its predecessor in synthetic tests. However, in Minimum, the measured FPS data shows the combo punching above its weight, particularly at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 350 FPS. The rank of 347 is impressive, but it is notably the gap to the top systems is substantial; the percentile data indicates there are 346 combinations that outperform this one, likely featuring newer or more expensive hardware.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in component roles depending on resolution. At 1920x1080, the CPU becomes the primary bottleneck, as evidenced by the massive frame rate ceiling. Low settings produce 352.9 FPS, while Ultra settings still yield 173.8 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 50.8% drop in performance, which indicates that the CPU is keeping up with the GPU’s output at lower presets but the GPU is not being fully utilized. The RTX 4080 SUPER’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient for 1080p, so the frame rate is being limited by the Ryzen 7 5700’s 16 threads and 3.70 GHz base clock.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts. Low settings deliver 229.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 110 FPS, a 52.1% reduction. The CPU still matters here, but the GPU’s workload increases significantly. The 4080 SUPER’s 10,240 shading units and 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are being pushed harder, and the frame rates reflect a more even distribution of work between the two components. Moving to 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. Low settings produce 124.3 FPS, while Ultra drops to 58.4 FPS, a 53.0% reduction. At 4K, the GPU’s 16 GB memory capacity and 256-bit bus width are stressed, and the data shows the CPU is rarely the limiting factor at this resolution.

The scaling between resolutions tells a clear story: at 1080p, the CPU is the ceiling; at 4K, the GPU is the ceiling; at 1440p, both components share the load. This is a classic pattern for a system with a mid-range CPU and high-end GPU, and it explains why the combo performs so well across the board.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 76.9 FPS. This is the only 4K preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold while maintaining visual quality; Ultra drops to 58.4 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold. Medium settings at 4K deliver 92.5 FPS, but High offers a better balance of visual fidelity and performance, so it is the recommended choice.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Ultra, which delivers 110 FPS. This is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, and the data shows that even the most demanding preset at this resolution is easily handled. High settings at 1440p produce 143.8 FPS, Medium yields 173.9 FPS, and Low hits 229.7 FPS, but Ultra is the optimal choice since it offers the best visuals without any playability concerns.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver 173.8 FPS, making it the clear best choice. The system is so powerful at 1080p that even the highest preset leaves massive headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings produce 352.9 FPS, but there is no reason to sacrifice visuals when Ultra is already running at nearly three times the playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU’s nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 performs almost identically to the Intel Xeon D-2752TER, which scores 25,530 versus the Ryzen’s 25,517, a mere 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25,550, also 0.1% ahead, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25,446, 0.3% behind. These four CPUs would deliver virtually indistinguishable performance in Minimum, meaning any of them paired with the RTX 4080 SUPER would produce similar frame rates. The Ryzen 5 7640U is also within 0.1%, making it a viable alternative if power efficiency is a concern.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER’s nearest rival is the standard RTX 4080, which scores 54,247, only 0.1% higher. This means swapping to the non-SUPER variant would have almost no impact on frame rates in Minimum. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828, which is 1.1% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698, 2.7% higher. Interestingly, the RX 6750 GRE outperforms the RTX 4080 SUPER in synthetic benchmarks, but the measured FPS data for this combo suggests that real-world performance may differ. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55,757, 2.8% higher, but again, these synthetic differences are unlikely to translate into meaningful frame rate changes in Minimum.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 352.9 FPS, Medium drops to 268.6 FPS, High yields 225.5 FPS, and Ultra maintains 173.8 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 50.8% reduction, but even the lowest figure is nearly three times the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a more pronounced drop. Low settings average 229.7 FPS, Medium delivers 173.9 FPS, High produces 143.8 FPS, and Ultra falls to 110 FPS. The 52.1% reduction from Low to Ultra mirrors the 1080p scaling, but the absolute numbers are lower, reflecting the increased GPU workload.

At 3840x2160, the system starts to feel the strain. Low settings average 124.3 FPS, Medium drops to 92.5 FPS, High delivers 76.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 58.4 FPS. The 53.0% reduction from Low to Ultra is consistent with the other resolutions, but the key detail is that Ultra at 4K is the only preset across all resolutions that fails to hit 60 FPS. The data shows a consistent pattern of roughly 50% performance loss from Low to Ultra at each resolution, indicating that the preset scaling is well-behaved and predictable.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Minimum, and it does so with authority. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear 60 FPS, with Ultra delivering 173.8 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear 60 FPS, with Ultra hitting 110 FPS. At 3840x2160, three of four presets clear 60 FPS — Low at 124.3 FPS, Medium at 92.5 FPS, and High at 76.9 FPS — but Ultra falls short at 58.4 FPS. This means the system is fully playable at every resolution, with the only caveat being that the absolute highest visual quality at 4K requires a small compromise. For competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors, the 1080p and 1440p results are exceptional, with frame rates exceeding 170 FPS at maximum settings. The data strongly suggests this combo is overkill for 1080p, extremely capable at 1440p, and very good at 4K, with only the most demanding preset posing any challenge.
