Minimum

This PC configuration, pairing the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D, delivers an exceptionally high level of performance in Minimum. The benchmark data shows that every tested resolution and preset combination exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold, with headroom ranging from substantial to overwhelming. The following analysis breaks down the measured performance, optimal settings, hardware roles, and comparative standing of this combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a pattern of consistently high performance across all tested scenarios. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, frame rates are extremely high. The Low preset yields an average of 377 FPS, while the High preset produces 276 FPS. The Medium preset, which is the only one with full min/max data at this resolution, averages 329 FPS with a minimum of 280 FPS and a maximum of 379 FPS. The Ultra preset delivers an average of 210 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is rarely constrained by the GPU, and the CPU's capabilities are the primary limiting factor.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains very robust, though the scaling from 1080p shows the expected impact of increased resolution. The Low preset averages 277 FPS, which is a significant drop from the 377 FPS at 1080p but still immensely fast. The High preset averages 178 FPS, and the Medium preset averages 212 FPS with a minimum of 180 FPS and a maximum of 244 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution produces an average of 136 FPS. The reduction in frame rates from 1080p to 1440p is substantial, indicating that the GPU is beginning to take on a more significant workload, though the overall performance remains far above what is required for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, or 4K, the performance scales down further, but remains impressive. The Low preset still achieves an average of 149 FPS. The Medium preset averages 114 FPS, with a minimum of 97 FPS and a maximum of 131 FPS. The High preset averages 96 FPS, and the Ultra preset, the most demanding setting, still manages an average of 73 FPS. The progression from 1080p to 4K shows a clear and consistent reduction in frame rates across all presets, with the most demanding 4K Ultra setting still clearing the 60 FPS threshold with a 13 FPS margin. This data suggests that the RTX 5090 D is the dominant performance driver at 4K, with the CPU providing sufficient support to avoid becoming a bottleneck.

Best Settings per Resolution

The objective for the best settings at each resolution is to identify the most demanding preset that maintains an average FPS at or above the 60 FPS playability threshold. Given the high performance levels measured, the best settings at each resolution are the maximum Ultra preset.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 210 FPS. This is the most visually demanding setting available and still provides a frame rate more than three times the 60 FPS threshold. The system has massive headroom at this resolution, making any setting choice viable.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is again the optimal choice, with an average of 136 FPS. This is still more than double the 60 FPS threshold, providing a comfortable margin for high-refresh-rate monitors. The performance drop from the 1080p Ultra average of 210 FPS to 136 FPS is significant, but the result remains exceptionally smooth.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 73 FPS. This is the only resolution where the performance approaches the playability threshold, but it still clears it by 13 FPS. For users who prioritize visual fidelity at 4K, the Ultra preset is playable. However, the data shows that the High preset at 96 FPS offers a much larger performance buffer, and the Medium preset at 114 FPS provides even more headroom. The data indicates that 4K Ultra is viable, but it is the only scenario where the system's performance is not overwhelmingly in excess of the minimum requirement.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data across the three resolutions and four presets provides insight into the respective roles of the CPU and GPU in this configuration. The scaling of frame rates from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 is the key indicator.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high across all presets, with the Low preset hitting 377 FPS and the Ultra preset at 210 FPS. The difference between presets at this resolution is relatively modest in absolute terms, and the extremely high frame rates suggest that the Ryzen 7 5800XT is the primary limiter. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it provides ample processing power, but at such high frame rates, the CPU's single-thread performance and inter-core communication become the bottleneck, preventing the GPU from reaching even higher numbers.

As the resolution increases to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop significantly. The Low preset falls from 377 FPS to 277 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls from 210 FPS to 136 FPS. This substantial decrease indicates that the GPU is now becoming a more significant factor. The increased pixel count demands more from the RTX 5090 D, and the frame rate becomes more dependent on its rendering capabilities.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role is dominant. The Low preset average of 149 FPS is a massive drop from the 1440p Low average of 277 FPS. The Ultra preset's average of 73 FPS is less than half of the 1440p Ultra average of 136 FPS. This scaling pattern clearly shows that at 4K, the RTX 5090 D is the definitive performance bottleneck. The CPU's role diminishes as the GPU's workload increases, and the overall performance is dictated by the GPU's ability to render the frame. In summary, the data shows a classic performance curve: the CPU is the limiting factor at 1080p, the balance shifts at 1440p, and the GPU becomes the clear constraint at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is ranked 41st out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. This places the configuration in the top 1.1% of all tested systems, indicating an exceptionally high performance tier. The data is measured, not estimated, which adds confidence to the ranking.

This high rank is consistent with the measured FPS data. The system delivers frame rates that are far above the playability threshold at all tested settings and resolutions. The only scenario where this ranking could be seen as a slight underperformance relative to the absolute top-tier is at 4K Ultra, where the 73 FPS average, while playable, is the lowest result in the dataset. However, given that the system is ranked 41st out of 3712, it is clear that very few other combinations are capable of outperforming it in this title.

The Verdict

The data clearly indicates that this PC can run Minimum with exceptional performance. The verdict by resolution confirms that all tested presets, including the maximum Ultra preset, are playable at every resolution.

At 1920x1080, the system is overwhelmingly capable, with the Ultra preset achieving 210 FPS. The performance is so high that the CPU is the limiting factor, but the frame rates are far beyond what is needed for any display. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 136 FPS, again providing a massive performance buffer. The GPU begins to take on a larger role, but the system remains extremely fast. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is still playable with an average of 73 FPS. This is the most demanding scenario, but the 60 FPS threshold is cleared with a 13 FPS margin.

Ultimately, this combination is not just capable of running Minimum; it excels at it. The data shows that a user can enable the highest possible settings at any of the tested resolutions and still enjoy a smooth, well-above-threshold frame rate. The only consideration is at 4K Ultra, where the performance, while playable, leaves less headroom than at lower resolutions. For users prioritizing maximum visual quality at 4K, the High preset at 96 FPS would provide a more substantial safety margin. For all other scenarios, the Ultra preset is the definitive choice.
