Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 is a combination built around a strong modern CPU and a graphics card from the Polaris generation. For a 2014 third-person shooter, this pairing delivers playable results at 1080p, but it falls short at higher resolutions. The data recorded in our database shows a clear pattern: the RX 570 becomes the limiting factor as resolution climbs, while the Ryzen 7 5700X provides ample headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS values are recorded at three resolutions (3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080) and four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). The database only includes average FPS figures; minimum and maximum FPS are not recorded for any combination. All numbers below are from the measured data.

At 3840x2160, the performance is consistently low. With Low settings, the average FPS is 30.3. Moving to Medium drops the average to 21.3. High settings yield 15.4 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 16.0 FPS. Interestingly, Ultra is slightly higher than High at this resolution, which may reflect a specific scene or preset behavior, but both are far below the 60 FPS playable threshold. None of these settings reach playable levels.

At 2560x1440, the results improve but remain below the playable threshold. Low settings average 51.0 FPS. Medium settings average 37.7 FPS, and High settings average 36.0 FPS. Ultra settings average 26.3 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium costs about 13 FPS, while the drop from Medium to High is only about 1.7 FPS. The step from High to Ultra costs nearly 10 FPS. Even at Low settings, 51.0 FPS is shy of the 60 FPS target, so no preset at this resolution is considered playable.

At 1920x1080, the data shows the only playable results. Low settings average 84.8 FPS. Medium settings average 63.7 FPS. High settings average 50.7 FPS. Ultra settings average 41.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 21.1 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 13.0 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is 9.4 FPS. The pattern is consistent: each step up in settings costs a significant portion of performance, but Low and Medium both clear the 60 FPS bar.

The database records no min or max FPS values, so the analysis relies solely on averages. The lack of min/max data means that frame pacing and stutter behavior cannot be assessed from these numbers, but the average FPS figures are sufficient to determine playability at each resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS average. The database provides a verdict by resolution, which lists the playable settings and the best settings for each resolution.

At 3840x2160, no settings preset reaches 60 FPS. The best recorded average is 30.3 FPS at Low settings, but this is still only half of the target. The verdict field shows no playable settings and no best settings, meaning the combination cannot deliver a playable experience at this resolution under any preset.

At 2560x1440, the situation is similar. No preset reaches 60 FPS. The highest average is 51.0 FPS at Low settings, which is 9 FPS short of the target. The verdict confirms no playable settings, so even the least demanding preset fails to meet the threshold.

At 1920x1080, two presets are playable: Low at 84.8 FPS and Medium at 63.7 FPS. The best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are Medium, with an average of 63.7 FPS. This is the recommended preset for this combination. High settings at 50.7 FPS and Ultra at 41.3 FPS are not playable, despite being visually more demanding.

For practical advice, the data suggests that players should use Medium settings at 1920x1080 to get a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings provide a much larger buffer at 84.8 FPS, which could be useful for scenes that are more demanding than the average, but the min FPS data is not recorded to confirm this. Since the database only tracks averages, Medium is the highest preset that maintains the required average.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows a clear division of responsibility between the CPU and GPU. The Ryzen 7 5700X has a strong multi-threaded presence, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13184 and a Geekbench multicore score of 10779. Its single-core performance is also solid, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1499 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3385. These numbers indicate that the CPU is unlikely to bottleneck a game from 2014, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is more likely to be the limiting factor.

The Radeon RX 570, by contrast, has a 4 GB GDDR5 memory pool and a 256-bit bus, but its performance in modern benchmarks is modest. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 880, and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 42752. The GPU is rated at 5.095 TFLOPS FP32, which is respectable for its generation but not sufficient for high-resolution gaming in this title.

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component matters more. At 3840x2160, the average FPS across all settings ranges from 15.4 to 30.3. The difference between Low and High at this resolution is about 15 FPS, which is roughly a 50% drop. This large drop suggests that the GPU is heavily taxed by the pixel count, and the CPU’s strong multi-threading cannot compensate for the GPU’s limited fill rate.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS ranges from 26.3 to 51.0. The gap between Low and Ultra is about 25 FPS, which is again a large relative drop. The GPU remains the primary constraint, as the CPU’s performance headroom does not translate into higher frame rates when the resolution demands more from the graphics hardware.

At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 41.3 to 84.8. The gap between Low and Ultra is about 43 FPS. This is the largest absolute spread across any resolution, which indicates that the GPU is still the dominant factor, but the CPU’s ability to feed frames becomes more relevant as the resolution drops. The Ryzen 7 5700X has a Passmark multithread score of 26612 and a 3DMark 16-thread score of 6858, which suggests it can handle the game’s CPU demands without issue. The fact that Low settings at 1080p reach 84.8 FPS, while the same GPU at 1440p Low only reaches 51.0 FPS, shows that the resolution change alone costs about 34 FPS. This is a GPU-side scaling effect, not a CPU-side one, because the CPU’s workload does not change dramatically with resolution.

In summary, the GPU is the limiting component at all three resolutions. The CPU’s role is to avoid becoming a bottleneck, and the data shows it succeeds: the FPS differences between resolutions are much larger than what would be expected if the CPU were the constraint. The Ryzen 7 5700X’s 8 cores and 16 threads, plus its 32 MB L3 cache, provide ample headroom for this game.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database lists nearest rivals for both the CPU and GPU based on average benchmark scores and delta percentages.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, the nearest rival is the Intel Core i5-12600K, with an identical average score of 27578 and a delta of 0%. This means the two processors perform essentially the same in the aggregate benchmarks. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is also close, with an average score of 27535 and a delta of 0.2%, meaning the 5700X is 0.2% faster. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X has an average score of 27636 and a delta of -0.2%, meaning it is 0.2% faster than the 5700X. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H has an average score of 27507 and a delta of 0.3%, meaning the 5700X is 0.3% faster. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in this game, since the differences are within 0.3%.

For the AMD Radeon RX 570, the nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, with an average score of 28874 and a delta of -0.4%, meaning the RX 6800M is 0.4% faster. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X has an average score of 28580 and a delta of 0.7%, meaning the RX 570 is 0.7% faster. The AMD Radeon RX 470 has an average score of 28996 and a delta of -0.8%, meaning the RX 470 is 0.8% faster. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 has an average score of 28421 and a delta of 1.2%, meaning the RX 570 is 1.2% faster. These delta values are all small, so a user with any of these GPUs would see nearly the same FPS in this game. The RX 470 is the closest desktop equivalent, with a 0.8% difference in average score.

For the specific question of whether this combo can run the game, the CPU is not a concern. Any of the listed rival CPUs would perform the same. The GPU is the limiting factor, and the rivals show that the RX 570 is in a tight cluster of similar-performance GPUs, none of which would materially change the playability verdict at each resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination against all tested combos for the game. The combo Rank is 3534 out of 3712 total combos. This places it in the bottom 5% of tested configurations. The rank of 3534 means that the vast majority of other CPU and GPU pairings in the database deliver better average FPS in this game. Given that the GPU is the limiting factor, this low rank is expected: the RX 570 is an older, end-of-life product, and its 4 GB memory and Polaris architecture are not competitive with newer GPUs.

The percentile for the CPU is 79, meaning the Ryzen 7 5700X is in the top 21% of all CPUs in the database. The percentile for the GPU is 74, meaning the RX 570 is in the top 26% of all GPUs. However, the combo rank is much lower than either individual percentile, which shows that the pairing does not scale well for this specific game. The CPU’s high percentile does not rescue the GPU’s moderate percentile when the game is demanding at 4K and 1440p.

The data suggests that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming with medium settings. At higher resolutions, the rank would be similarly poor, as the GPU cannot maintain playable frame rates. The rank of 3534 out of 3712 is a clear indicator that most alternative combinations would offer better performance, even if the CPU is a strong part.

FAQ
