Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination delivers exceptional performance in Minimum, clearing the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and preset tested. The data shows a system with massive headroom, even at 4K Ultra settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The benchmark database groups the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with a set of processors that deliver nearly identical average scores. The closest rival is the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, which scores 29093 against the Ryzen’s 29123 average, a negligible 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT trails by only 0.6% with a score of 28940. On the other side, the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 posts 29245 (0.4% faster) and the Intel Core i5-13500HX reaches 29270 (0.5% faster). These four chips form a tight cluster where any of them would behave similarly in CPU-bound scenarios, though the Ryzen 7 5800X sits at an 81st percentile among all CPUs, indicating it outperforms the vast majority of processors on the market.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080’s nearest rivals are all AMD parts. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, which is 0.6% slower than the RTX 5080’s 56083 average. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is also 0.6% behind at 55698. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X trails by 2.3% with 54828. Interestingly, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is 2.2% faster, scoring 57367. The RTX 5080 holds an 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs, placing it well above the median graphics card. In practice, swapping the RTX 5080 for the RX 9070 GRE would yield slightly higher frame rates, while the other three rivals would produce marginally lower results. The performance deltas are all small enough that users would struggle to notice the difference without a frame counter.

CPU and GPU Roles

The balance between CPU and GPU shifts dramatically across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system is heavily GPU-limited. The Low preset produces 369.6 FPS, while Ultra drops to 187 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is a 49.4% reduction in frame rate, driven almost entirely by GPU workload. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, has ample headroom at this resolution to feed the RTX 5080.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU burden increases. Low settings yield 241.3 FPS, and Ultra still manages 116.4 FPS. The drop from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is 34.7%, which reflects the additional pixel count. The RTX 5080’s 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth handle the higher resolution without bottlenecking the processor. The Ryzen 7 5800X’s role becomes more prominent here, as the gap between Low and Ultra narrows compared to 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the GPU dominates completely. Ultra settings produce 61.6 FPS, just above the playable threshold. Low settings jump to 127.7 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Ultra is a 47.1% reduction, showing that the RTX 5080 is the limiting factor at this resolution. The CPU’s single-thread score of 943 in 3dmark and multi-thread score of 7578 are more than sufficient for the game’s demands. Across all resolutions, the GPU dictates performance, but the CPU prevents any starvation, particularly at 1080p where frame rates exceed 360 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination ranks 197th out of 3712 tested combos in Minimum. This places it in the top 5.3% of all systems benchmarked for this game. The rank reflects the GPU’s 87th percentile standing and the CPU’s 81st percentile, both contributing to a highly capable pairing.

The data indicates that this combo outperforms the vast majority of alternatives. With 3712 total combinations, only 196 produce higher average frame rates. The 4K Ultra result of 61.6 FPS is particularly notable, as many systems fail to reach 60 FPS at this resolution and preset. The combo’s strength lies in its consistency: every resolution and settings combination tested exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold, a feat not achieved by lower-ranked pairings. The nearest rival GPUs, such as the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, would likely produce similar rankings, but the RTX 5080’s advantage in raw compute (56.28 TFLOPS FP32) gives it a slight edge.

The Verdict

The benchmark results answer definitively: yes, this PC can run Minimum with ease. At 1920x1080, every preset is playable, with Ultra averaging 187 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra delivers 116.4 FPS, more than double the playable threshold. Even at 3840x2160, the most demanding resolution, Ultra settings maintain 61.6 FPS, clearing the 60 FPS line by a slim but comfortable margin.

The verdictByResolution data confirms all three resolutions list High, Low, Medium, and Ultra as playable settings. The best settings at each resolution are the most demanding preset, Ultra, with average FPS of 187 at 1080p, 116.4 at 1440p, and 61.6 at 4K. This means users can max out the game’s graphical options at any resolution without dropping below the 60 FPS threshold. The RTX 5080’s 16 GB of VRAM and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth provide sufficient memory for 4K textures, while the Ryzen 7 5800X’s 32 MB L3 cache and 16 threads ensure smooth frame pacing. The system is not just playable; it offers substantial headroom for future patches or additional background tasks.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 187 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available and provides a massive margin over the playable threshold. Lower presets yield even higher frame rates: Medium averages 289.8 FPS, High averages 239.4 FPS, and Low reaches 369.6 FPS.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best playable setting, averaging 116.4 FPS. High produces 155.2 FPS, Medium delivers 188.8 FPS, and Low hits 241.3 FPS. All presets exceed the 60 FPS threshold by a substantial amount, making resolution the primary choice for visual fidelity.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains playable at 61.6 FPS, but the margin is narrower. High settings average 84.2 FPS, Medium reaches 100.7 FPS, and Low produces 127.7 FPS. For users prioritizing frame rate stability over maximum visual quality, High offers a more comfortable buffer, but Ultra is technically viable. The data shows that every resolution supports Ultra settings without dropping below 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all three resolutions and four presets.

3840x2160:

• High: 84.2 FPS average
• Low: 127.7 FPS average
• Medium: 100.7 FPS average
• Ultra: 61.6 FPS average

The spread from Low to Ultra is 66.1 FPS, indicating a 51.8% performance range. The jump from Medium to Ultra is the largest single-step drop, from 100.7 to 61.6 FPS, a 39.1 FPS reduction. This suggests Ultra settings introduce a significant rendering cost at 4K.

2560x1440:

• High: 155.2 FPS average
• Low: 241.3 FPS average
• Medium: 188.8 FPS average
• Ultra: 116.4 FPS average

The range here spans 124.9 FPS. Medium to Ultra drops by 72.4 FPS, while Low to Medium drops by 52.5 FPS. The diminishing returns are evident: moving from Low to Medium costs 52.5 FPS, but from Medium to Ultra costs 72.4 FPS, showing Ultra is disproportionately demanding.

1920x1080:

• High: 239.4 FPS average
• Low: 369.6 FPS average
• Medium: 289.8 FPS average
• Ultra: 187 FPS average

The total range is 182.6 FPS. Low to Medium drops by 79.8 FPS, Medium to High drops by 50.4 FPS, and High to Ultra drops by 52.4 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is the largest, indicating that Medium settings add substantial visual complexity. At 1080p, the RTX 5080’s 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 879.3 GTexel/s texture rate are fully utilized, producing frame rates that far exceed any display refresh rate.

Min and max FPS values are not provided in the data, so only average FPS can be reported.
