Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is a combination that relies on a strong, modern GPU to drive frame rates in Minimum, while the 8-core/16-thread CPU provides the processing headroom. The measured data shows this combo handles 1080p and 1440p with ease, and can even manage 4K at high settings, though the most demanding preset at 4K falls short of the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G posts an average benchmark score of 27051, placing it near several comparable processors. The closest match is the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 27097, a delta of just -0.2%, meaning the two are essentially identical in overall CPU performance. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, sitting 0.4% behind the 5700G, while the Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900, a 0.6% difference. On the other side, the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, which is 0.4% ahead of the 5700G. In practice, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly indistinguishable frame pacing in Minimum when paired with the same GPU, as the game’s workload is unlikely to stress any of these processors to their limits.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 has an average benchmark score of 40377, putting it in a similar performance class as several workstation-oriented AMD cards. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 scores 40318, a delta of 0.1%, making it the closest rival. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40063, trailing by 0.8%, while the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40870, leading by 1.2%. The NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile scores 39568, which is 2% behind. These deltas are small, so in a game like Minimum, the RTX 5070 would deliver nearly identical average frame rates to these rivals, though the RTX 5070’s newer architecture and higher raw score suggest it may handle edge cases better. For practical purposes, a system with the RTX 5070 and any of these rival GPUs would see similar performance at a given resolution and preset.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which produces an average of 68.7 FPS. The Medium preset averages 81 FPS, and Low averages 105.9 FPS, both also playable. Ultra, however, drops to 48.5 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold, so it is not recommended at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the data shows all four presets are playable, and the best settings are Ultra, delivering an average of 97.1 FPS. This leaves substantial headroom above the 60 FPS minimum. High averages 125.3 FPS, Medium averages 146.4 FPS, and Low averages 195.8 FPS, so even the most demanding preset offers a smooth experience.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 147.8 FPS. High averages 195 FPS, Medium averages 230.7 FPS, and Low averages 302 FPS. The GPU is clearly not the bottleneck at this resolution, as even Ultra delivers more than double the playable threshold, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the GPU is the dominant factor in Minimum at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s role becomes more pronounced at lower resolutions. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates scale steeply with settings: Low hits 105.9 FPS, Medium drops to 81 FPS, High falls to 68.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 48.5 FPS. This pattern shows that the GPU’s workload increases dramatically with preset quality, and the CPU is not holding back performance even at the lowest setting. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 57.4 FPS, a clear sign of GPU-bound scaling.

At 2560x1440, scaling is similar but with more absolute headroom. Low averages 195.8 FPS, Medium 146.4 FPS, High 125.3 FPS, and Ultra 97.1 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 98.7 FPS, which again points to the GPU being the primary limiter. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is capable of feeding the RTX 5070 at these frame rates, as evidenced by the fact that even Ultra stays well above 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the CPU begins to matter more. Low averages 302 FPS, Medium 230.7 FPS, High 195 FPS, and Ultra 147.8 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 154.2 FPS, the largest of any resolution. At such high frame rates, the CPU’s single-thread and multi-thread performance becomes relevant, as the Ryzen 7 5700G’s boost clock of 4.60 GHz and 16 threads provide enough compute to avoid becoming a hard bottleneck. However, the fact that Ultra still delivers 147.8 FPS means the CPU is not limiting playability; it simply has a more noticeable effect on the upper frame rate ceiling compared to 1440p or 4K. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra shows a drop from 147.8 FPS to 97.1 FPS, a 34% reduction, and from 1440p to 4K Ultra a further drop to 48.5 FPS, a 50% reduction. This confirms that resolution scaling is almost entirely a GPU-bound phenomenon in this pairing.

FAQ
