Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D combination delivers exceptional performance in Minimum, a third-person shooter from 2014. Across all tested resolutions and settings, the combo never drops below the 60 FPS playable threshold, with even the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K maintaining a solid 73 FPS average. This pairing is heavily GPU-bound, showing massive FPS gains when resolution drops, while the CPU keeps up without bottlenecking at any point.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 7 5700 sits in a crowded mid-range CPU segment, with its nearest rivals separated by fractions of a percent in average benchmark scores. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25,530 versus the Ryzen's 25,517, a delta of -0.1%, making it functionally identical in multi-threaded workloads. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U trails by just 0.1% at 25,485, while the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H edges ahead by 0.1% with 25,550. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U is the closest competitor at 25,446, just 0.3% behind. These four processors would deliver nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Minimum, as the game's engine rarely stresses all 16 threads of the Ryzen 7 5700.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5090 D's nearest rivals present an interesting picture. The AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT scores 76,904 in average benchmarks, just 1.1% behind the RTX 5090 D's 77,712. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT outperforms it by 1.6% with a score of 78,940, while NVIDIA's own Tesla P100 PCIe variants lead by 2.1% and 2.4% respectively (79,396 and 79,605). Despite these mobile and datacenter cards being close in synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 5090 D's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth give it a practical advantage in real gaming workloads like Minimum, where memory capacity and bandwidth often matter more than raw compute scores.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data clearly shows that the GPU dominates performance in Minimum at every resolution. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo hits 352 FPS, while dropping to 4K Low still yields 149 FPS—a 58% reduction. This scaling pattern indicates the RTX 5090 D is the primary bottleneck, as the CPU's workload remains constant across resolutions while GPU load increases dramatically.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and settings where frame rates exceed 300 FPS. At 1080p Low, the 352 FPS average suggests the Ryzen 7 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to keep up with the GPU's output, but the diminishing returns between Medium (319 FPS) and Low (352 FPS) at 1080p hint at CPU limits. At 1440p, the gap between Low (277 FPS) and Medium (212 FPS) widens, showing the GPU taking over as the limiting factor. By 4K, the difference between Low (149 FPS) and Medium (114 FPS) narrows further, confirming the GPU is almost entirely responsible for performance at higher resolutions.

The Ryzen 7 5700's single-thread score of 901 in 3dmark and 2,916 in Cinebench R23 prove adequate for Minimum's 2014-era engine, which likely uses only a few threads for core game logic. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it's not a weak link, but the data suggests the RTX 5090 D would perform similarly with a faster processor at 1080p Low settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 5090 D produces extraordinary frame rates across all presets. Low settings deliver 352 FPS average, Medium hits 319 FPS with a minimum of 271 and maximum of 367, High reaches 276 FPS, and Ultra still maintains 210 FPS. These numbers represent the full range of playable experiences, with even the most demanding settings exceeding 200 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains extremely high. Low settings produce 277 FPS, Medium averages 212 FPS with a minimum of 180 and maximum of 244, High delivers 178 FPS, and Ultra drops to 136 FPS. The 1440p results show a consistent 20-30% reduction from 1080p across all settings, indicating the GPU is handling the increased pixel count efficiently.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 5090 D still dominates. Low settings yield 149 FPS, Medium averages 114 FPS with a minimum of 97 and maximum of 131, High maintains 96 FPS, and Ultra stays above 60 FPS at 73 FPS average. The 4K results demonstrate that even the most demanding configuration remains comfortably playable, with the gap between Low and Ultra (149 vs 73 FPS) showing the full performance envelope of this GPU under load.

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings is 73 FPS, which exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold by 22%.

Q: What is the highest FPS this combo achieves?

A: The maximum measured average is 352 FPS at 1920x1080 with Low settings. The highest single-frame reading is 367 FPS at 1080p Medium, with a corresponding minimum of 271 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 5090 D compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RTX 5090 D's average benchmark score of 77,712 places it 1.1% above the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904), but 1.6% below the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940). The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB leads by 2.4% with a score of 79,605.

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 5700 a bottleneck at 1080p?

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested configurations?

A: It ranks 52nd out of 3,712 tested combos for Minimum, placing it in the top 1.4% of all systems tested for this game.

How This Combo Ranks

With a rank of 52 out of 3,712 tested combinations, the Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 5090 D pairing sits in the top 1.4% of all systems tested for Minimum. This positioning reflects the GPU's overwhelming dominance in this title—the RTX 5090 D's 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs contributes far more to the combo's success than the CPU's 78th percentile standing. The combination outperforms the vast majority of systems, though it trails configurations with faster processors that can better feed the GPU at lower resolutions. The 3,712-combo dataset includes both more modest and more powerful pairings, and this system's placement indicates it delivers near-flagship performance without being the absolute fastest configuration possible.

The rank also highlights an interesting imbalance: the CPU sits at the 78th percentile while the GPU sits at the 92nd, meaning the system's overall position is dragged down slightly by the processor. In GPU-bound scenarios like 4K Ultra, this matters little, but at 1080p Low, a higher-ranked CPU would likely push the combo into the top 40. Still, 52nd out of 3,712 represents a top-tier result for any gaming system.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains 60+ FPS is Ultra, achieving 210 FPS average. This is the clear choice for maximum visual quality at this resolution, as the GPU has enormous headroom even at the highest settings.

For 2560x1440, Ultra settings remain the best option, delivering 136 FPS average. The 1440p Ultra experience is well above the playable threshold and offers a balanced combination of resolution and visual fidelity.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings still exceed the 60 FPS threshold with a 73 FPS average. This makes 4K Ultra the recommended configuration, as it provides the best possible image quality while maintaining smooth gameplay. The 73 FPS average leaves only 13 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS floor, but the absence of recorded minimum FPS drops below 60 in any preset suggests stable performance.
