Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination delivers a wide range of performance in Minimum, a third-person shooter released in 2014. Benchmark results show this pairing is capable of high frame rates across all tested resolutions, with the most demanding settings at 4K being the only scenario that dips below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data indicates a strong balance between the eight-core Zen 3 processor and the Ada Lovelace GPU, with the system scaling predictably as resolution and graphical load increase.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, the nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are all within a narrow performance band. The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H posts an average score of 29093, which is a mere 0.1% higher than the 5800X’s 29123 average. Similarly, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT scores 28940, sitting 0.6% below the 5800X. The Intel Xeon Phi 7210 (29245) and Intel Core i5-13500HX (29270) are also close, with deltas of -0.4% and -0.5% respectively. In practical terms, any of these processors would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum, though the 5800X holds a small edge over the Ryzen 5 5600XT and trails the two Intel parts by a negligible margin.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070’s average benchmark score of 37648 places it alongside several interesting alternatives. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37628, a 0.1% delta, making it effectively a performance twin. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 is close behind at 37507, just 0.4% slower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38135, which is 1.3% higher, while the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 lags at 37157, a 1.3% deficit. For gaming at the tested settings, the RTX 4070 and RTX 4080 Mobile would deliver indistinguishable results, while the RX Vega 56 would be slightly behind but still within the same performance class.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is High, achieving 64.9 FPS. The Medium preset runs at 77 FPS, and Low at 93.9 FPS, but High is the highest visual quality that clears the threshold. The Ultra preset drops to 49.4 FPS, which falls short of the 60 FPS target.

Moving to 2560x1440, the system can handle the Ultra preset while staying above 60 FPS, posting an average of 86.6 FPS. This is the best visual setting available, and it runs comfortably ahead of the threshold. High runs at 115.4 FPS, Medium at 138.8 FPS, and Low at 176.4 FPS, all of which are well above 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves 138.1 FPS, making it the best setting that remains playable. High runs at 177.6 FPS, Medium at 212.1 FPS, and Low at 275.8 FPS. Every preset at this resolution far exceeds the 60 FPS requirement, indicating that the CPU and GPU are not heavily taxed at 1080p.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the workload shifts between the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high across all settings, with Low hitting 275.8 FPS and Ultra still reaching 138.1 FPS. This suggests that the CPU is providing ample headroom, as even the most demanding preset does not bottleneck the GPU.

When moving from 1080p to 1440p, the frame rates drop by roughly 35-40% across all presets. For example, Ultra falls from 138.1 FPS to 86.6 FPS, and Low from 275.8 FPS to 176.4 FPS. This consistent reduction indicates that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as pixel count increases, while the CPU continues to feed frames without issue.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s role becomes even more pronounced. The Ultra preset drops to 49.4 FPS, a 43% reduction from the 1440p result, while High also falls from 115.4 FPS to 64.9 FPS. The CPU’s performance remains relatively constant, as evidenced by the fact that even the Low preset at 4K (93.9 FPS) is lower than the Medium preset at 1440p (138.8 FPS). This indicates that the RTX 4070 is the primary determinant of performance at 4K, with the Ryzen 7 5800X providing sufficient compute to avoid becoming a bottleneck at any tested setting.

The Verdict

According to the measured data, this combination can run Minimum at 60 FPS or higher in most configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets—Ultra, High, Medium, and Low—are playable, with the Ultra setting achieving 138.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also clears the threshold with 86.6 FPS, as do High (115.4 FPS), Medium (138.8 FPS), and Low (176.4 FPS).

At 3840x2160, the system remains playable on High (64.9 FPS), Medium (77 FPS), and Low (93.9 FPS), but the Ultra preset falls short at 49.4 FPS. The verdict is clear: the PC can run the game at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, and at 4K with High settings or lower. The only configuration that fails to reach 60 FPS is 4K Ultra, which is the most demanding combination tested.
