Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers a flawless 60+ FPS experience for Minimum across every resolution and preset tested. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 59.5 FPS, narrowly missing the 60 FPS threshold, but every other configuration clears it with substantial headroom. This is a top-tier pairing for the game, ranking in the top 10% of all tested combinations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data shows a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo is massively overqualified, with average frame rates ranging from 174.7 FPS at Ultra to 317.9 FPS at Low. The gap between presets is significant: Low is 45% faster than High (317.9 vs 228.8 FPS), and Medium sits between them at 269.1 FPS. Even the most demanding Ultra preset produces a frame rate nearly three times the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains exceptionally strong. The Ultra preset delivers 110.7 FPS, which is still well above the playability threshold. High settings produce 144.2 FPS, while Medium and Low reach 172.4 and 227.5 FPS respectively. The delta between High and Ultra here is 33.5 FPS, showing that the RTX 4080 SUPER has enough headroom to handle the resolution bump without compromising smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the demands increase noticeably. The Ultra preset drops to 59.5 FPS, which is just 0.5 FPS below the 60 FPS target. High settings maintain 81.3 FPS, Medium reaches 94.8 FPS, and Low hits 120.9 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration in the entire dataset that fails to hit 60 FPS, and the margin is razor-thin. The data indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution and preset, as the CPU's 8-core/16-thread configuration with 96 MB of L3 cache provides ample processing power for the game's physics and AI workloads.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which produces an average of 174.7 FPS. This is the highest preset available and it clears the 60 FPS threshold by a factor of nearly three. The data shows no reason to compromise on quality at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, delivering 110.7 FPS. This is comfortably above the 60 FPS mark, with 50.7 FPS of headroom. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth handle the higher pixel count without issue.

For 3840x2160, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are High, with an average of 81.3 FPS. While Ultra falls just short at 59.5 FPS, High provides a 21.3 FPS buffer over the threshold. Users with 4K displays can enjoy High settings with confidence, and the option to drop to Medium (94.8 FPS) or Low (120.9 FPS) exists for those prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D + RTX 4080 SUPER combination ranks #361 out of 3,712 tested combos for Minimum, placing it in the top 9.7% of all configurations. This percentile position reflects the strength of both components. The CPU sits at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU ranks at the 86th percentile among all GPUs. The combination of a high-percentile CPU and an even higher-percentile GPU results in a system that excels in this title.

The CPU's performance metrics reinforce this ranking. Its multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score of 22,366 and Geekbench multi-core score of 11,086 indicate strong sustained performance. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 6,764 and max-thread score of 6,755 show consistent scaling across thread counts. For a game like Minimum, which is a Third-Person Shooter with potentially complex scene rendering, the CPU's 96 MB of shared L3 cache is particularly beneficial for keeping frequently accessed game data close to the cores.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D show that its average benchmark score of 24,709 is within 0.6% of several alternatives. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D scores 24,728, a delta of -0.1%, making it essentially identical in synthetic benchmarks. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX scores 24,822 (-0.5%), while the Intel Core i5-12450HX scores 24,576 (+0.5%) and the Intel Core i5-11600 scores 24,563 (+0.6%). For Minimum, any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates when paired with the same GPU, as the game is likely GPU-bound at most settings.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 54,209. The RTX 4080 (non-SUPER) scores 54,247, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the two are virtually interchangeable in practice. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828 (-1.1%), while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698 (-2.7%) and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55,757 (-2.8%). These deltas are all within 3%, so a system with any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would deliver similar performance in Minimum, though the 4080 SUPER's higher percentile ranking (86th vs. the alternatives) suggests it handles the most demanding scenarios slightly better.

FAQ

A: 2560x1440 at Ultra settings provides 110.7 FPS, combining high visual quality with a frame rate that exceeds the 60 FPS target by a wide margin. This offers the best balance of fidelity and speed.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Minimum with excellent performance. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 1920x1080, every preset including Ultra clears 60 FPS, with the Ultra preset delivering 174.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra achieving 110.7 FPS. At 3840x2160, High, Medium, and Low settings all exceed 60 FPS, with High being the best playable preset at 81.3 FPS.

The only configuration that fails to hit the 60 FPS target is 4K Ultra, which comes in at 59.5 FPS — a marginal miss. For users with 4K displays, dropping from Ultra to High costs some visual fidelity but yields a 21.3 FPS improvement. For those on 1440p or 1080p displays, there is no compromise needed; the system can run the game at maximum settings with frame rates that are 84% to 191% above the playability threshold.

The combination's rank of #361 out of 3,712 tested combos places it in the top 10% of all systems tested for this game. Given the CPU's 77th percentile ranking and the GPU's 86th percentile ranking, this system is well-balanced for Minimum, with the GPU handling the graphical load while the CPU's large cache and 8-core/16-thread configuration prevent bottlenecks. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of VRAM ensures that even the most texture-heavy scenes at 4K won't exceed memory capacity. Overall, this is a high-performance pairing that excels in every scenario except the absolute maximum 4K preset, and even that shortfall is by less than one frame per second.
