Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is an overwhelmingly capable combination for Minimum, clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset tested. Benchmark data shows this combo achieves a 4K Ultra average of 61 FPS, a 1440p Ultra average of 112 FPS, and a 1080p Ultra average of 174 FPS, making it a top-tier performer for this 2014 third-person shooter.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent pattern: this hardware combination delivers high frame rates across all tested configurations, with performance scaling predictably with resolution and settings. At 3840x2160 (4K), the combo produces an average of 79 FPS on High settings, 124 FPS on Low, 95 FPS on Medium, and 61 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 4K shows a minimum of 80 FPS and a maximum of 109 FPS, indicating stable frame pacing even under load. Low settings at 4K push the average to 124 FPS, while Ultra remains playable at 61 FPS average, exactly at the playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440 (1440p), the performance headroom expands considerably. High settings yield an average of 148 FPS, Low produces 230 FPS, Medium reaches 176 FPS, and Ultra holds at 112 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p records a minimum of 149 FPS and a maximum of 202 FPS, showing a tight frame delivery window. This resolution is clearly where the combo hits a sweet spot for high-refresh-rate displays, as even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains an average well above 100 FPS.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the results are exceptional across the board. High settings average 229 FPS, Low reaches 317 FPS, Medium produces 273 FPS, and Ultra delivers 174 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p shows a minimum of 232 FPS and a maximum of 313 FPS, demonstrating remarkable consistency. Even at Ultra settings, the average FPS is nearly three times the 60 FPS playable threshold, indicating that the CPU and GPU are far from being bottlenecks at this resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

In the global database of tested combinations for Minimum, this pairing ranks 354th out of 3712 combos, placing it in the top 10 percent of all tested systems. This rank reflects the strength of both components individually: the Ryzen 7 5700X3D sits in the 77th percentile against all CPUs, while the RTX 4080 ranks in the 86th percentile against all GPUs. The combination of a high-percentile CPU and GPU results in a system that handles Minimum with substantial margin, as evidenced by the 4K Ultra average of 61 FPS.

The rank of 354 out of 3712 means that approximately 3358 tested combos perform worse in this game, while 353 perform better. Given that the game is from 2014, the fact that this modern combination ranks this highly suggests that most of the systems above it likely feature even newer or more specialized hardware. The data indicates that this combo is not merely adequate but genuinely competitive for high-resolution, high-settings gameplay.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 61 FPS. This is exactly at the playable threshold, so players seeking a safety margin might prefer High settings at 79 FPS average, but Ultra is technically playable.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings are clearly the best choice, delivering an average of 112 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold while offering the highest visual quality. The next step down, High, averages 148 FPS, but the Ultra preset is recommended for its superior visuals without sacrificing playability.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings produce an average of 174 FPS, making it the best preset for this resolution. The performance headroom is so large that even the most demanding settings leave ample room for smooth gameplay, and there is no reason to drop below Ultra at 1080p.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum at every resolution and preset combination tested, with the 60 FPS playable threshold cleared across the board. At 3840x2160, all four presets are playable, with Ultra reaching 61 FPS average, High at 79 FPS, Medium at 95 FPS, and Low at 124 FPS. The 2560x1440 results are even stronger, with Ultra at 112 FPS, High at 148 FPS, Medium at 176 FPS, and Low at 230 FPS. At 1920x1080, performance is exceptional, with Ultra at 174 FPS, High at 229 FPS, Medium at 273 FPS, and Low at 317 FPS.

The verdict is unambiguous: this combination is not just capable but overqualified for Minimum. The 4K Ultra result of 61 FPS is the only configuration near the threshold, and even that remains playable. For 1440p and 1080p, the system delivers high-refresh-rate performance on the most demanding settings. The data confirms that the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and RTX 4080 form a high-end pairing that excels in this game, ranking in the top 10 percent of all tested combos and providing a smooth experience at any resolution this title can output.
