Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Minimum across all tested resolutions and settings. The benchmark data, which is measured rather than estimated, shows that this combination never drops below the 60 FPS playable threshold, even at the most demanding 4K Ultra preset. The following analysis breaks down the exact performance figures, component roles, and how this pairing stacks up against other tested hardware.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). All figures are average FPS, as minimum and maximum values were not recorded in the dataset.

At 1080p, the results are exceptionally high across the board. The Low preset produces an average of 352 FPS. Moving to Medium yields 289.3 FPS, while High drops to 243.9 FPS. The most demanding Ultra preset still maintains an average of 186 FPS. The scaling between Low and Ultra at this resolution shows a drop of 166 FPS, or approximately 47% lower performance when pushing maximum visual quality.

At 1440p, the frame rates remain very high but show a predictable reduction compared to 1080p. The Low preset averages 245.3 FPS, which is 106.7 FPS lower than the 1080p Low result. Medium comes in at 187.3 FPS, High at 153.6 FPS, and Ultra at 120.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 125.2 FPS, representing a 51% reduction from the Low preset.

At 4K, the performance is still well above the 60 FPS threshold but shows the most significant impact of resolution scaling. The Low preset averages 130.7 FPS. Medium drops to 98.4 FPS, High to 82.3 FPS, and Ultra to 65.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 65.2 FPS, which is a 49.9% reduction. Notably, the Ultra preset at 4K produces the lowest average FPS in the entire dataset, but it still clears the playable threshold by 5.5 FPS.

Comparing resolution scaling at the same preset, the data shows that moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces FPS by roughly 30-35% depending on the settings. For example, High preset goes from 243.9 FPS at 1080p to 153.6 FPS at 1440p, a 37% decrease. Moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings reduces from 153.6 FPS to 82.3 FPS, a further 46.4% drop. The Ultra preset shows the most consistent scaling: 186 FPS at 1080p, 120.1 FPS at 1440p, and 65.5 FPS at 4K.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the GPU is the dominant performance driver for this game, particularly as resolution increases. The RTX 5080's raw throughput, reflected in its PassMark G3D score of 36565, provides the foundation for the high frame rates observed. The GPU's percentile rank of 87 versus all GPUs suggests it is well above average hardware.

The CPU, an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with 8 cores and 16 threads, has a PassMark multithread score of 24419 and a single-thread score of 3283. Its percentile rank of 79 versus all CPUs indicates solid performance, but it is not in the top tier of processors. The benchmark results show that frame rates scale heavily with resolution: 1080p Low produces 352 FPS, while 4K Low produces 130.7 FPS. This 221.3 FPS drop is primarily attributable to the GPU's workload increasing with pixel count.

The settings presets also demonstrate GPU dominance. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces FPS from 352 to 186, a 166 FPS penalty. At 4K, the same preset change reduces FPS from 130.7 to 65.5, a 65.2 FPS penalty. The fact that the absolute FPS penalty is larger at lower resolutions suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU adequately even at high frame rates, while the GPU is the limiting factor when pixel count rises.

The CPU's 3.80 GHz base clock and 4.60 GHz boost clock, combined with its Zen 3 architecture, provide sufficient single-thread performance for this third-person shooter. The data shows no indication of CPU bottlenecking, as frame rates at 1080p exceed 350 FPS, which typically requires strong per-core performance. However, the CPU's L3 cache of 16 MB and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are modest compared to newer platforms, yet they do not appear to constrain the RTX 5080 in this title.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear: this PC can run Minimum at playable frame rates in every tested configuration. At 3840x2160, all four settings presets are playable, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 65.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets are also playable, with Ultra averaging 120.1 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 186 FPS, and all other presets exceed 240 FPS.

The data shows that the most demanding scenario — 4K Ultra — remains 5.5 FPS above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This indicates a comfortable margin for most gameplay, though users seeking higher frame rates at 4K could drop to High settings for 82.3 FPS or Medium for 98.4 FPS. At 1440p, the Ultra preset at 120.1 FPS provides a strong experience for high-refresh-rate displays, while 1080p Ultra at 186 FPS is suitable for very high refresh rate monitors.

The playable settings list for each resolution includes every preset tested, meaning there is no configuration in this dataset that fails to meet the 60 FPS requirement. This makes the RTX 5080 and Ryzen 7 5700G combination a universally capable pairing for Minimum across common gaming resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination ranks 203rd out of 3712 tested combos, placing it in the 94.5th percentile of all systems tested for Minimum. This is a strong result, indicating that the pairing performs better than the vast majority of alternatives in the benchmark database.

The GPU's percentile rank of 87 versus all GPUs and the CPU's percentile rank of 79 versus all CPUs both contribute to this high overall ranking. The combo rank of 203 out of 3712 suggests that while the RTX 5080 is a high-end GPU, the Ryzen 7 5700G is a mid-range processor, and together they achieve a top-tier result for this game. The data implies that the GPU's performance headroom is the primary reason for the high ranking, as the CPU's lower percentile rank does not prevent the system from achieving very high frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average FPS of 186. This is the maximum quality setting available in the dataset and it more than doubles the playable threshold.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also remains the best playable option, averaging 120.1 FPS. This provides high visual quality while still offering a frame rate well suited for smooth gameplay.

For 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is playable at 65.5 FPS average. This is the most demanding configuration tested and it barely clears the 60 FPS threshold. For users who prefer a larger margin above the threshold, the High preset at 82.3 FPS or Medium at 98.4 FPS would provide additional headroom while still delivering strong visual quality.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU provide context for what other processors would behave similarly. The Intel Core i9-9900K has an average benchmark score of 27097, which is 0.2% lower than the Ryzen 7 5700G's 27051 average. The Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, 0.4% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, 0.4% lower, and the Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900, 0.6% lower. These processors would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum when paired with the same RTX 5080 GPU.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 8060S with an average score of 55757, which is 0.6% lower than the RTX 5080's 56083. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698, 0.7% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, 2.3% lower, and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 57367, 2.2% higher. Substituting the RTX 5080 with any of these GPUs would yield very similar performance in Minimum, with the RX 9070 GRE potentially offering slightly higher frame rates and the Pro W5700X slightly lower ones.

These rival comparisons suggest that a system built with a Ryzen 7 5700G and any of the listed GPUs would deliver broadly comparable results, with frame rate differences in the range of a few percentage points rather than dramatic shifts. The data indicates that the RTX 5080 sits in a tight performance cluster with these alternatives, making the choice between them largely dependent on other factors such as features or ecosystem preferences.
