Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT combination delivers a strong performance profile for the 2014 third-person shooter Minimum, with measured data showing that the system comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold at 1080p and 1440p across all tested presets, while 4K requires a reduction in graphical settings to maintain smooth gameplay. The benchmark results are based on measured FPS data from the database, with the combo ranking 1204th out of 3712 tested combinations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four quality settings, providing a clear picture of how the hardware scales with workload.

1920x1080: At the most common gaming resolution, the system produces very high frame rates. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 255.6. Moving to Medium drops the average to 197.9, and High settings still deliver a strong 166.1 average. The most demanding Ultra preset maintains an average of 126.7 FPS. All four settings at this resolution keep the frame rate far above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

2560x1440: At 1440p, the frame rates remain excellent. The Low preset produces an average of 165.3 FPS, while Medium achieves 127.8 FPS. High settings deliver 107.0 FPS on average, and the Ultra preset still holds at 82.1 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable performance reduction, but every preset at this resolution remains comfortably above 60 FPS.

3840x2160: At 4K, the picture changes. The Low preset delivers an average of 86.9 FPS, which clears the playability threshold with headroom. Medium settings produce 70.7 FPS, still above 60. High settings drop to 58.9 FPS, which falls just below the 60 FPS target. The Ultra preset averages 45.3 FPS, representing a significant performance hit and a clearly non-playable experience for smooth gameplay.

The data shows a consistent trend: the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases, with the gap between Low and Ultra settings widening at 4K. At 1080p, the difference between Low (255.6 FPS) and Ultra (126.7 FPS) is roughly a halving of frame rate. At 4K, the same comparison shows Low at 86.9 FPS and Ultra at 45.3 FPS, a more severe relative drop. The minimum and maximum FPS values were not recorded in the measured data, leaving average FPS as the primary metric for comparison.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provides context for how this combo compares to other hardware configurations.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 sits close to several other processors in average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 has an average score of 40048, which is 0.1% higher than the 7700’s 40081. The Intel Core 5 221E scores 40144, a 0.2% difference. The AMD Ryzen 9 270 scores 40246, just 0.4% above. The Intel Core i9-13905H completes the group with 40313, a 0.6% lead. These delta percentages are small enough that users would see virtually identical CPU-bound performance in Minimum across all four alternatives.

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT has a similar situation on the GPU side. The NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile scores 47743, which is 1.5% lower than the RX 6800 XT’s 48477. The Intel Arc A550M scores 49737, 2.5% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti scores 49957, 3% higher, and the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 also scores 50001, 3% higher. These delta values indicate that the RX 6800 XT performs within a narrow band of these competitors, meaning a system built with any of these GPUs paired with a similar-tier CPU would produce nearly identical FPS results in this title.

The overall combo rank of 1204 out of 3712 places this pairing in the upper third of all tested configurations, reinforcing that it is a capable setup for Minimum without being at the very top of the performance ladder.

A: The combo ranks 1204th out of 3712 tested combinations, placing it in the upper 32% of all configurations in the database for Minimum.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear and favorable for most gaming scenarios. At 1920x1080, the system runs every preset above 60 FPS, with Ultra settings averaging 126.7 FPS, making this resolution fully playable at maximum quality. At 2560x1440, the same holds true: all four settings from Low (165.3 FPS) to Ultra (82.1 FPS) clear the 60 FPS threshold, allowing players to use the highest visual preset without concern. At 3840x2160, the system can run Low (86.9 FPS) and Medium (70.7 FPS) settings at playable frame rates, but High (58.9 FPS) and Ultra (45.3 FPS) fall below the target. The best playable setting at 4K is Medium, with an average of 70.7 FPS.

For users prioritizing high refresh rate monitors, the 1080p results are particularly strong, with even Ultra settings providing more than double the 60 FPS baseline. The 1440p Ultra result of 82.1 FPS also supports high-refresh displays, though not at the same level as lower settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1204 out of 3712 tested combinations places it in the 67th percentile of all systems in the database for Minimum. This indicates that the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and RX 6800 XT pairing is above average for this game, outperforming roughly two-thirds of tested configurations. The CPU’s percentile of 87 among all CPUs and the GPU’s percentile of 85 among all GPUs both sit in the high range, suggesting that each component contributes meaningfully to the overall result. The gap between this combo and the top-performing systems is not captured in the rank data alone, but the measured FPS numbers show that the system delivers playable performance at all but the most demanding 4K presets, aligning with its upper-third placement.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS at each resolution is as follows:

• 3840x2160: Medium settings, with an average of 70.7 FPS. High settings at 58.9 FPS do not meet the threshold, so Medium is the highest playable option.
• 2560x1440: Ultra settings, with an average of 82.1 FPS. All lower presets also exceed 60 FPS, but Ultra provides the best visual quality while staying above the target.
• 1920x1080: Ultra settings, with an average of 126.7 FPS. This is the maximum preset and delivers a high frame rate with ample headroom.

At 1080p and 1440p, the system’s performance ceiling is not reached at Ultra settings, meaning the GPU has additional capacity. At 4K, the GPU is clearly stressed, and the step down from Medium (70.7 FPS) to High (58.9 FPS) shows that the hardware sits near a performance cliff at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and the RX 6800 XT shifts depending on resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the CPU is the primary driver of performance. The frame rates are exceptionally high across all settings, from 255.6 FPS at Low to 126.7 FPS at Ultra, indicating that the GPU is rarely the bottleneck. The CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, provide the compute power needed to feed the GPU at these levels. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p (a 50% drop) is driven by GPU workload, but the absolute numbers suggest the CPU keeps pace.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on more responsibility. The frame rates drop by roughly 35% compared to 1080p at each corresponding setting, indicating that pixel throughput is becoming a limiting factor. The GPU’s 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth support high-resolution textures, but the shading units are working harder. The CPU still delivers sufficient performance, as shown by the 82.1 FPS at Ultra, but the GPU is clearly the constraining component.

At 3840x2160, the GPU dominates the performance equation. The drop from Medium (70.7 FPS) to High (58.9 FPS) is a 16.7% reduction, and the Ultra preset at 45.3 FPS shows a severe hit. The CPU’s role diminishes further, as the GPU’s 4608 shading units and 128 ROPs struggle to fill the 4K frame buffer. The data indicates that for 4K gaming, upgrading the GPU would yield significant gains, while the CPU would remain sufficient. For 1080p and 1440p, the current pairing is well balanced, with the CPU providing enough throughput to keep the GPU saturated at high frame rates.
