Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers a benchmark profile for Minimum that is characterized by exceptionally high frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings. The data indicates that this combination is not merely playable but provides substantial headroom over the 60 FPS playability threshold, with the most demanding preset at each resolution still clearing that bar by a significant margin.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which produces an average of 60 FPS. This is a precise match for the playable threshold, indicating that maximum image quality at 4K is achievable, though without additional headroom for demanding scenes. The High preset at this resolution yields 79 FPS average, while Medium reaches 94 FPS average, and Low scales up to 123 FPS average, showing a clear progression of performance as settings are reduced.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is again the most demanding playable option, delivering an average of 112 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold, confirming that 1440p gaming at maximum settings is not only possible but leaves considerable performance in reserve. The High preset at this resolution averages 147 FPS, Medium averages 175 FPS, and Low reaches 228 FPS, demonstrating that the combination scales effectively with resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 173 FPS, the highest maximum-quality result across all resolutions. The High preset averages 228 FPS, Medium averages 271 FPS, and Low peaks at 354 FPS average. These figures indicate that at 1080p, the system is heavily GPU-saturating at lower settings, with the CPU becoming a more relevant factor as frame rates climb toward the higher end of the spectrum.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 311 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. This places the configuration in the top 8.4 percent of all tested systems, a strong positioning that reflects the high-end nature of both components. The percentile data supports this: the CPU sits at the 79th percentile among all tested CPUs, while the GPU ranks at the 86th percentile among all tested GPUs.

The ranking indicates that while this is not the absolute fastest configuration available, it is firmly in the upper tier of systems capable of running this game. The gap between this combo and the very top performers is likely attributable to CPUs with higher single-thread performance or GPUs with greater raw throughput, but the 5700X and 4080 SUPER together provide a balanced platform that avoids significant bottlenecking in either direction.

These figures indicate that the 4080 SUPER performs within a narrow band of its competitors, with differences of less than 3 percent separating it from all listed alternatives.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Minimum reveals a clear pattern of GPU dominance at higher resolutions and a shift toward CPU relevance at lower resolutions. At 3840x2160, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 63 FPS (123 vs 60), indicating that the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K. The GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all tested GPUs supports this, as the 4080 SUPER's raw throughput is the determining factor in achieving playable frame rates at this demanding resolution.

At 2560x1440, the gap between Low and Ultra widens to 116 FPS (228 vs 112), demonstrating that the GPU remains the bottleneck but with more headroom available. The scaling from 4K to 1440p at Ultra settings shows a 52 FPS increase (60 to 112), which aligns with the expected reduction in pixel count and confirms that the GPU is still the limiting component.

At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 181 FPS (354 vs 173), the largest absolute gap across all resolutions. This substantial spread indicates that at 1080p, the GPU is capable of producing extremely high frame rates at lower settings, and the CPU's performance becomes more significant. The Ryzen 7 5700X, with its 79th percentile ranking and 16 threads, provides sufficient processing power to sustain these high frame rates, but the data suggests that the CPU is the limiting factor at the very highest FPS levels. The 5700X's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13184 and single-core score of 1499 indicate strong but not class-leading performance, which is consistent with the observed frame rate ceiling at 1080p Low.

The Verdict

This PC is fully capable of running Minimum at all tested resolutions and settings, with every combination clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages exactly 60 FPS, making 4K gaming at maximum settings viable, while High, Medium, and Low provide 79, 94, and 123 FPS averages respectively for additional headroom. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 112 FPS, more than 85 percent above the threshold, with all lower settings exceeding 140 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 173 FPS, and even the most demanding settings provide performance that far exceeds typical display refresh rates. The data confirms that this combination is not only playable but delivers a high-performance experience across the board, with the only caveat being that 4K Ultra sits precisely at the 60 FPS mark without buffer for frame time spikes.
