Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 570 spans three resolutions and four quality presets. At 3840x2160, the results are consistently below playable thresholds. The High preset returns an average of 18 FPS, Low reaches 28 FPS, Medium lands at 22 FPS with a minimum of 19 FPS and maximum of 25 FPS, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. No min or max values were recorded for High, Low, or Ultra at this resolution, so the spread is only fully visible on Medium.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates improve but remain under 60 FPS across all settings. High averages 34 FPS, Low averages 53 FPS, Medium averages 40 FPS with a minimum of 34 FPS and maximum of 46 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 13 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 6 FPS, indicating a steep cost for each step up in quality.

At 1920x1080, the picture changes meaningfully. Low produces an average of 82 FPS, Medium produces 63 FPS with a minimum of 53 FPS and maximum of 72 FPS, High produces 53 FPS, and Ultra produces 40 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 19 FPS, from Medium to High costs 10 FPS, and from High to Ultra costs another 13 FPS. The 1080p Medium result is the first configuration where the average stays above the 60 FPS playable threshold, though the recorded minimum of 53 FPS indicates some frame time variance.

Across all resolutions, the scaling pattern is consistent: Ultra is the most demanding preset, High sits above Medium, and Low is the fastest. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 14 FPS, at 1440p it is 27 FPS, and at 1080p it is 42 FPS. That growing spread at lower resolutions suggests that the CPU has more headroom to feed the GPU as pixel count drops.

Best Settings per Resolution

The verdict data defines playable settings as those that maintain an average at or above 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset qualifies. The best available average is 28 FPS on Low, which is far below the threshold. At 2560x1440, the same conclusion applies: no settings reach 60 FPS, with Low topping out at 53 FPS average.

At 1920x1080, two presets clear the bar. Low runs at 82 FPS and Medium runs at 63 FPS. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which delivers 63 FPS average. That is the recommended configuration for this resolution based on the recorded data. High and Ultra fall short at 53 FPS and 40 FPS respectively, so they are not viable for a locked 60 FPS experience.

The database marks the best settings at 1080p as Medium with an average of 63 FPS. For users prioritizing visual quality over raw frame rate, the jump to High costs 10 FPS and still lands below 60, which is a meaningful tradeoff. The fact that Medium is the highest playable preset at 1080p, while 1440p and 4K have no playable presets, defines the practical ceiling for this hardware pairing.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Ryzen 7 5800XT is a high-end desktop processor with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. Its benchmark scores are strong, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23794 and a single-core score of 3359. The RX 570, by contrast, is an older GCN 4.0 GPU with 2048 shading units, 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, and a 256 bit memory bus offering 224.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 880, which places it in the lower tier of modern GPUs.

The measured frame rates show that the GPU is the dominant constraint at every resolution. At 4K, even Low settings only reach 28 FPS, which is a GPU-bound result. At 1440p, Low reaches 53 FPS, again pointing to GPU limits. At 1080p, the CPU begins to matter more, but the GPU still caps performance: Low runs at 82 FPS, Medium at 63 FPS, and High at 53 FPS. The CPU has ample headroom, as indicated by its high multi-threaded and single-threaded scores, but the RX 570 cannot translate that into higher frame rates once settings rise.

The scaling between resolutions reinforces this. Dropping from 4K to 1440p at Low improves the average from 28 FPS to 53 FPS, a gain of 25 FPS. Dropping from 1440p to 1080p at Low improves from 53 FPS to 82 FPS, a gain of 29 FPS. These large jumps are typical of a GPU-limited scenario where pixel count is the primary variable. At Medium settings, the same resolution drops yield 18 FPS and 23 FPS gains respectively, still substantial.

Preset scaling also points to the GPU. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 42 FPS, which is a wide spread for a processor that scores in the 81st percentile among all CPUs. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the spread would be narrower because the processor could feed more frames at lower settings. Instead, the GPU saturates quickly as quality increases.

The Ryzen 7 5800XT's nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H with an average score of 29868 and a delta of 0 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with a score of 29713 and a delta of 0.6 percent, would not change this dynamic. Those CPUs are similarly capable and would still be held back by the RX 570. The GPU's nearest rivals, including the Radeon RX 470 with a delta of -0.8 percent and the Radeon R9 M295X with a delta of 0.7 percent, are all in the same performance class, which confirms the GPU tier is the limiting factor.

Users looking for a meaningful upgrade would need to move well outside this GPU tier. The nearest rivals all sit within roughly 1 percent of each other, so none of them change the playability verdict for 1440p or 4K. At 1080p, they would all deliver similar averages around the 60 FPS mark on Medium settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 3542 out of 3712 tested combos in the database for Minimum. That places it in the bottom 5 percent of all configurations tested for this game. The low rank is driven almost entirely by the GPU, which sits at the 74th percentile of all GPUs but is paired with a CPU at the 81st percentile of all CPUs. The mismatch means the system's overall performance is dragged down by the graphics card.

The rank reflects the fact that the combo cannot maintain 60 FPS at 1440p or 4K, and only manages it at 1080p on Low and Medium settings. Many other combos in the database achieve higher frame rates at higher resolutions, which is why this pairing falls so far down the list. The CPU alone would rank much higher, but the combined score is what matters for game performance.

For context, the combo sits 170 places from the bottom of the 3712 tested configurations. That is a clear signal that this is not a balanced pairing for Minimum at higher resolutions. At 1080p, however, it is serviceable, and the rank should be interpreted with that caveat.

The Verdict

The verdict data indicates that this PC can run Minimum at 1920x1080, but only on specific settings. At 1080p, Low settings produce 82 FPS and Medium settings produce 63 FPS, both above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best settings at this resolution are Medium, with an average of 63 FPS. High and Ultra fall short at 53 FPS and 40 FPS respectively.

At 2560x1440, no settings are playable. The best average is 53 FPS on Low, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the situation is worse: the best average is 28 FPS on Low, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. The verdict by resolution confirms this, listing no playable settings for either 1440p or 4K.

For a user targeting 1080p gaming, this combination works with Medium settings as the ceiling. For anyone expecting 1440p or 4K performance, the recorded data shows the RX 570 cannot deliver the required frame rates, regardless of the capable Ryzen 7 5800XT behind it. The system is functional, but its range is limited to 1080p with moderate quality presets.
