Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers an overwhelming performance envelope for Minimum, a Third-Person Shooter released in 2014. Benchmark data confirms that this combination is not merely capable but is massively over-provisioned for the title, achieving high frame rates even at maximum settings across all tested resolutions. The measured results place this combo in the top tier of tested hardware configurations, with a rank of 311 out of 3712 total combos tested for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces exceptional frame rates that will satisfy even the most demanding esports or high-refresh-rate display users. The data shows an average of 354 FPS at Low settings, which is the highest recorded in the dataset. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 271 FPS, with a minimum of 230 FPS and a maximum of 312 FPS. High settings yield an average of 228 FPS, while the most demanding Ultra preset still maintains an impressive 173 FPS average. These figures indicate that the CPU and GPU are working in a highly efficient range, with no signs of bottlenecking at this resolution.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the performance remains extraordinarily high. Low settings produce an average of 228 FPS, which is identical to the High setting average at 1080p, suggesting that the GPU has ample headroom. Medium settings average 175 FPS with a minimum of 149 FPS and a maximum of 201 FPS. High settings deliver 147 FPS average, while Ultra settings still comfortably exceed 100 FPS with an average of 112 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is consistent, with approximately a 35-40% reduction in frame rates across comparable settings, which is typical for a GPU-bound workload.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the combo continues to deliver playable and often competitive frame rates. Low settings hit an average of 123 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium settings average 94 FPS, with a minimum of 80 FPS and a maximum of 108 FPS, showing that even the 1% lows stay well above the playable line. High settings average 79 FPS, and the most demanding Ultra preset still maintains a 60 FPS average exactly at the playable threshold. The 4K data reveals a more pronounced performance curve, with Ultra settings representing a significant 51% drop from Low settings, indicating that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear shift in component responsibility as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the high frame rates (228-354 FPS) suggest that the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT's 8 cores and 16 threads are capable of feeding the RTX 4080 SUPER efficiently. The CPU's strong single-thread performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3359, likely prevents any CPU-bound limitations at this resolution. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 959 and its 81st percentile ranking among all CPUs support this interpretation.

At 2560x1440, the performance scaling indicates a transition toward GPU-bound behavior. The average frame rates of 112-228 FPS across settings show that the RTX 4080 SUPER's compute capabilities, including its 10240 shading units and 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, are becoming the dominant factor. The GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs and its PassMark G3D score of 34245 confirm its high-end positioning. The CPU's role diminishes slightly, though its 16 threads ensure no frame pacing issues occur.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the primary performance determinant. The 60 FPS average at Ultra settings, compared to 123 FPS at Low, demonstrates that the RTX 4080 SUPER's memory bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s and its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory are being taxed heavily. The CPU's contribution becomes negligible at this resolution, as the 79-123 FPS range shows that the GPU's pixel throughput (285.6 GPixel/s) and texture rate (816.0 GTexel/s) are the limiting factors. The 4K results align with the GPU's performance class, sitting between the RTX 4080 (0.1% slower in average benchmark score) and the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (1.1% faster).

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 173 FPS. This is not merely a playable configuration; it provides a substantial margin above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the clear choice for maximum visual quality. The data shows no scenario at this resolution where the combo struggles, as even the most demanding settings produce frame rates nearly three times the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings remain the optimal choice, with an average of 112 FPS. This represents a 46 FPS margin above the playable threshold, allowing for smooth gameplay with all visual features enabled. The Medium preset's 175 FPS average and High preset's 147 FPS average offer alternatives for users seeking even higher refresh rates, but Ultra provides the best balance of visual fidelity and performance.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings still achieve the 60 FPS playable threshold exactly, with an average of 60 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that remains playable, and while it offers no headroom for frame rate drops, the data confirms it is achievable. For users who prefer a safety margin, High settings at 79 FPS average provide 19 FPS of buffer, while Medium at 94 FPS offers even more stability. The Ultra preset at 4K represents the absolute limit of this combo's capability.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER achieves a rank of 311 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all systems tested. This high ranking is consistent with the individual component performance: the CPU's average benchmark score of 29879 places it near the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (0% delta) and AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (-0.3% delta), while the GPU's average score of 54209 is nearly identical to the RTX 4080 (-0.1% delta) and slightly below the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (-2.7% delta).

The ranking indicates that this combo outperforms the vast majority of tested systems, with only 310 configurations achieving higher performance in this specific game. The CPU's 81st percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggest that neither component is a weak link. The data supports this, as the measured FPS at 1080p (173-354 FPS) and 1440p (112-228 FPS) are exceptionally high for a game of this era, while the 4K results (60-123 FPS) remain respectable for the most demanding resolution.

The Verdict

The data clearly indicates that this PC can run Minimum with exceptional performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears the 60 FPS threshold with substantial margins, with Ultra settings achieving an average of 173 FPS. At 2560x1440, the combo maintains high playability with Ultra settings averaging 112 FPS, offering a 52 FPS buffer over the playable line. At 3840x2160, the system still manages to run all settings at or above 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging exactly 60 FPS and Low reaching 123 FPS.

The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: all three resolutions support playable frame rates at every preset level. The only scenario that sits precisely at the 60 FPS threshold is 4K Ultra, which leaves no headroom for demanding in-game scenes or future driver regressions. For users prioritizing maximum visual quality at 4K, the High preset at 79 FPS average or Medium at 94 FPS average would provide a safer margin. At 1080p and 1440p, however, the combo delivers such high frame rates that users can enable Ultra settings without any concern about performance. This system is overqualified for Minimum, providing a future-proof experience that will remain playable for years.
