Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers a robust experience in Minimum, a 2014 Third-Person Shooter. The data shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions, with the system comfortably exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K Ultra remains a stretch. The CPU, an 8-core/16-thread Zen 3 part, and the GPU, an Ada Lovelace card with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, work together to produce high frame rates, though the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on aggregate benchmark scores, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X performs nearly identically to three other CPUs in the database. The Intel Core i5-12600K has an identical average score of 27578, representing a 0% delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is a hair slower at 27535, a 0.2% difference, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is a hair faster at 27636, a -0.2% difference. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H trails at 27507, a 0.3% difference. For gaming, any of these processors would offer a statistically indistinguishable experience, meaning the choice between them would hinge on platform features rather than raw performance in Minimum.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 43223 places it in close competition with several other NVIDIA cards. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43262 (-0.1%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43268 (-0.1%), and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43301 (-0.2%). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile is the nearest faster rival at 43667, a -1% delta. In practice, a system with any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum, barring driver-specific optimizations or power limits.

FAQ

*Q: Can this system run Minimum at 4K resolution?*

A: Yes, but not at the highest settings. The measured FPS data shows that at 3840x2160, the system achieves 69 FPS on High, 82 FPS on Medium, and 108 FPS on Low, all above the 60 FPS playable threshold. However, Ultra settings drop the average to 53 FPS, which is below the playable line.

Q: What is the best settings preset for a 1440p monitor?

A: The verdict data indicates that Ultra is the best playable setting at 2560x1440, delivering an average of 98 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold, and the system has enough headroom to run the most demanding preset without issue.

Q: How many frames per second can I expect at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the measured average FPS is 152. This is more than double the playable threshold of 60 FPS, indicating a very smooth experience with plenty of room for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck in this configuration?

A: The data does not explicitly identify a bottleneck, but the frame rate scaling between settings and resolutions suggests the GPU becomes the limiting factor at 4K Ultra. At 1080p and 1440p, the CPU's 8-core/16-thread configuration with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz provides sufficient headroom, as evidenced by the high average FPS across all settings.

Q: Does the system ever drop below 60 FPS in the measured scenarios?

A: Only one measured configuration falls below 60 FPS: 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, where the average is 53 FPS. All other tested resolution and settings combinations maintain averages of 69 FPS or higher. The only min/max data available shows the 4K Medium preset with a min of 70 FPS and a max of 95 FPS, confirming it stays above the threshold.

Q: What is the system's overall rank compared to other tested combos?

A: This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 644th out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. This places it in the top 17% of all configurations in the database for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4070 SUPER shows a clear progression of performance as settings are lowered. Ultra settings yield an average of 53 FPS, which is unplayable by the 60 FPS standard. High settings bring the average up to 69 FPS, Medium settings reach 82 FPS with a minimum of 70 and a maximum of 95, and Low settings hit 108 FPS. The jump from Ultra to High is significant, a 16 FPS improvement, while the step from Medium to Low adds another 26 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the system has ample power. Low settings produce an average of 200 FPS, Medium settings average 153 FPS with a minimum of 130 and a maximum of 176, High settings average 128 FPS, and Ultra settings still manage a strong 98 FPS. Every preset at this resolution clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin, making 1440p the sweet spot for high refresh rate gaming.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are very high. Low settings average 310 FPS, Medium settings average 237 FPS with a minimum of 202 and a maximum of 273, High settings average 199 FPS, and Ultra settings average 152 FPS. Even the most demanding preset at 1080p delivers nearly triple the playable threshold, ensuring a fluid experience on any monitor.

The Verdict

The benchmark results indicate that this PC can run Minimum with high confidence. At 1920x1080, all four settings presets are playable, with the best being Ultra at an average of 152 FPS. At 2560x1440, the system also clears 60 FPS on all presets, with Ultra as the best playable setting at 98 FPS. The 3840x2160 resolution presents a mixed picture: High, Medium, and Low settings are all playable, with High as the best option at 69 FPS, but Ultra drops to 53 FPS, failing the 60 FPS threshold. For the vast majority of gamers using 1080p or 1440p displays, this system provides a flawless experience even at maximum settings. For 4K users, the system is capable but requires sacrificing the Ultra preset to maintain smooth gameplay.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which achieves an average of 69 FPS. The data shows that Ultra at this resolution falls short, so High is the recommended ceiling for 4K.

At 2560x1440, the system can handle the highest quality settings. Ultra is the best playable preset, delivering an average of 98 FPS. This leaves considerable headroom above the 60 FPS minimum, making it the ideal choice for this resolution.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is also the best playable setting, with an average of 152 FPS. This result is over 2.5 times the playable threshold, indicating that the system is not stressed at this resolution and could likely support higher refresh rates or additional graphical enhancements.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 644th out of 3712 tested configurations for Minimum. This places the system in the 83rd percentile of all combos in the database, which is a strong showing for a 2022 CPU paired with a 2024 GPU. The rank reflects the system's ability to handle the game at high settings across most resolutions, with the only notable weakness being 4K Ultra performance. The CPU's average benchmark score of 27578 and the GPU's score of 43223 both sit in the upper tier of their respective categories, contributing to the overall high ranking. In practical terms, this combo sits well ahead of the median system and will deliver a superior experience in Minimum for the majority of players.
