Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers a commanding performance profile in Minimum, a third-person shooter that scales cleanly from 1080p to 4K. The data shows a system that is not merely playable but overwhelmingly capable, with every resolution tested offering at least one preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. The benchmark results indicate a hardware pairing where the GPU is the primary driver of frame rates, yet the CPU's strong multi-threaded scores ensure no bottleneck emerges even at lower resolutions where frame counts soar past 300 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system operates at a level that renders the refresh rate of most monitors the limiting factor. With Low settings, the average frame rate hits 312 FPS, a figure that indicates the CPU and GPU are both operating with substantial headroom. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 238.7 FPS, which still represents a 23.5% reduction from Low, showing that the preset scaling is consistent. High settings produce an average of 199 FPS, a 16.6% decline from Medium, while Ultra settings deliver 155.1 FPS, which is 22.1% below High. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p results in a 50.3% total performance loss, yet even the most demanding preset remains far above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This pattern suggests that at 1080p, the game is heavily GPU-bound, as the CPU's 3dmark_single_thread score of 959 and passmark_single_thread score of 3535 are sufficient to feed the RTX 4070 SUPER at these extreme frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the resolution increase imposes a predictable load, but the system's response is still emphatic. Low settings average 197.4 FPS, which is 36.7% lower than the 1080p Low result, indicating a significant pixel-pushing burden. Medium settings follow at 156.2 FPS, a 20.9% drop from Low, while High settings produce 125.4 FPS, a 19.7% decline from Medium. Ultra settings at 1440p average 98.8 FPS, which is 21.2% below High. The gap between 1080p Ultra and 1440p Ultra is 36.3%, showing that the GPU's 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 performance are being taxed more heavily as resolution climbs. Notably, 1440p Ultra still clears 60 FPS by a 64.7% margin, proving that the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory is sufficient for the game's demands at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the system finally encounters a scenario where the preset ladder tightens. Low settings average 106.7 FPS, a 45.9% reduction from 1440p Low, while Medium settings drop to 84.4 FPS, a 20.9% decline from Low. High settings produce 67 FPS, which is 20.6% below Medium, and Ultra settings fall to 54.9 FPS, a 18.1% reduction from High. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration that fails to reach 60 FPS, missing the threshold by 8.5%. The scaling from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra is a 44.4% performance loss, which aligns with the pixel count increase of 2.25x, suggesting the game's rendering pipeline is scaling nearly linearly with resolution. The data indicates that 4K High is the practical ceiling for this combo, offering 67 FPS, while 4K Ultra is a marginal miss that would require settings adjustments.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results reveal a clear division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. The GPU is the dominant factor in determining frame rates at every resolution, as evidenced by the consistent scaling from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p Low, the system produces 312 FPS, but at 4K Low, it drops to 106.7 FPS, a 65.8% reduction that correlates with the 4x pixel count increase. This pattern holds across all presets, indicating that the RTX 4070 SUPER's rendering throughput is the primary constraint. The GPU's passmark_g3d score of 29995 and 3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12 score of 4627 reflect its capability, and the 12 GB memory capacity is sufficient for the game's textures at 4K, as the High preset still maintains 67 FPS.

The CPU's role is supportive but essential, particularly at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 200 FPS. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, ensure that the GPU is never starved of draw calls. The CPU's 3dmark_16_threads score of 7683 and cinebench_r23_multicore score of 23794 demonstrate strong multi-threaded performance, which is relevant for a third-person shooter that must manage game logic, physics, and AI alongside rendering. At 1080p Low, the 312 FPS result suggests the CPU can handle frame times of approximately 3.2 milliseconds, which is well within its capabilities. As resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the CPU's workload per frame decreases relative to the GPU, so its influence on overall FPS diminishes. The data implies that at 4K, the RTX 4070 SUPER is nearly 100% the bottleneck, while at 1080p, the CPU still has headroom, as evidenced by the fact that the frame rate does not plateau. The scaling between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 50.3%, while at 4K it is 48.5%, showing that the GPU's relative load increases with resolution, but the CPU's contribution remains stable and non-limiting.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 155.1 FPS. This is the optimal choice for users who prioritize visual quality, as it provides a 158.5% margin over the playable threshold. The data shows that even at Ultra, the system has substantial headroom, suggesting that users could enable additional enhancements or run at higher refresh rates without issue.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings are also the best choice, with an average of 98.8 FPS. This represents a 64.7% margin over 60 FPS, making it a safe and visually rich option. The 21.2% difference between High and Ultra at this resolution is a worthwhile trade-off for the extra detail, as the frame rate remains comfortably above the threshold.

At 3840x2160, the best playable preset is High, which averages 67 FPS. This is 11.7% above the 60 FPS threshold, providing a stable experience with high visual fidelity. Ultra settings at 4K fall short at 54.9 FPS, so High is the recommended maximum. The 18.1% gap between High and Ultra at 4K is the deciding factor, and the data clearly indicates that High is the sweet spot for 4K gaming on this hardware.
