Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 combination delivers a wide range of frame rates in Minimum, depending on resolution and quality preset. At 1920x1080, the combo is overwhelmingly fast: Low settings produce an average of 214 FPS, Medium 164 FPS, High 137 FPS, and even Ultra stays well above 100 FPS at 105 FPS average. The only 1080p preset with recorded minimum/maximum data is Medium, showing a minimum of 139 FPS and a maximum of 188 FPS, which indicates strong frame time consistency. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages scale down predictably: Low hits 138 FPS, Medium 106 FPS, High 89 FPS, and Ultra 68 FPS. The 1440p Medium preset again has the only min/max data, with 90 FPS minimum and 121 FPS maximum. At 3840x2160, performance drops sharply: Low averages 74 FPS, Medium 57 FPS, High 48 FPS, and Ultra falls to 36 FPS. The 4K Medium preset shows a minimum of 48 FPS and a maximum of 65 FPS, meaning even the average dips below the 60 FPS playability threshold. Across all resolutions, the gap between Low and Ultra is substantial: at 1080p it is 109 FPS, at 1440p it is 70 FPS, and at 4K it is 38 FPS, showing that quality settings have a larger absolute impact at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a consistently high-performance profile. Low settings produce an average of 214 FPS, Medium drops to 164 FPS, High to 137 FPS, and Ultra to 105 FPS. The Medium preset at this resolution has the only recorded frame time variance, with a minimum of 139 FPS and a maximum of 188 FPS; that 49 FPS spread suggests some transient dips, but the minimum remains more than double the 60 FPS threshold. For 2560x1440, the averages are 138 FPS at Low, 106 FPS at Medium, 89 FPS at High, and 68 FPS at Ultra. The 1440p Medium run shows a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 121 FPS, a 31 FPS range that is tighter than the 1080p Medium spread. At 3840x2160, the picture changes: Low averages 74 FPS, Medium 57 FPS, High 48 FPS, and Ultra 36 FPS. Only the 4K Medium setting has min/max data—48 FPS minimum and 65 FPS maximum—meaning the frame rate occasionally climbs above 60 but spends much of the time below it. The 4K Low average of 74 FPS is the only 4K preset that clears the playability bar by a comfortable margin, while 4K High and Ultra are decisively below it.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how this game balances CPU and GPU load. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the primary constraint, but the Ryzen 7 7700's 8 cores and 16 threads provide enough headroom that even the most demanding preset stays at 105 FPS. The 214 FPS Low result at 1080p indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU far more frames than the GPU can render at higher settings; the drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 109 FPS, entirely attributable to GPU workload. At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes more dominant, as shown by the 70 FPS delta between Low and Ultra (138 vs 68). The CPU still has ample margin, since the 1440p Ultra average of 68 FPS aligns closely with what the GPU can sustain at that pixel count. At 3840x2160, the GPU is almost certainly the bottleneck in every preset—the 4K Low average of 74 FPS is barely above the 1080p Ultra average, and the 4K Ultra result of 36 FPS suggests the RX 7700's 16 GB memory and 256-bit bus are saturated by the 8.3 million pixel count. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution rises; at 4K, even the fastest possible CPU would not meaningfully improve the 36 FPS Ultra result, because the GPU is rendering far fewer frames per second. Conversely, at 1080p, the CPU's 3dmark single-thread score of 1049 and multicore score of 8484 indicate it can handle high frame-rate scenarios, but the measured FPS at Low (214) versus Ultra (105) shows the GPU is the limiting factor once quality increases.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo maintain 60 FPS at 3840x2160 on High settings?

A: No. The measured average FPS at 4K High is 48, which is 12 FPS below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Only the Low preset at 4K averages above 60 FPS, at 74 FPS.

Q: What is the best quality preset at 2560x1440 that stays above 60 FPS?

A: All four presets at 1440p average above 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 68 FPS. The best preset is therefore Ultra, since it offers the highest visual quality while still clearing the threshold.

Q: How does the RX 7700 compare to the RTX 3060 Ti in raw GPU benchmarks?

A: The RX 7700's average benchmark score is 15,852, while the RTX 3060 Ti scores 16,129, a delta of -1.7%. The RX 7700 also sits near the Radeon RX 9060 (16,014, delta -1%) and the Radeon Pro W5500 (15,679, delta +1.1%). In practice, these close scores suggest similar rasterization performance, but the measured FPS in Minimum shows the RX 7700 handling 1440p Ultra at 68 FPS.

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 7700 strong enough for 1080p high-refresh gaming in this title?

A: Yes. At 1080p Low the combo reaches 214 FPS, and at 1080p High it still averages 137 FPS. The CPU's 3dmark max-threads score of 8479 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18,760 indicate ample multi-threaded headroom, while the single-core score of 1,930 in Cinebench R23 ensures the game's main thread is not a bottleneck at these frame rates.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 4K Medium, given the min/max data?

A: The 4K Medium preset averages 57 FPS, with a minimum of 48 FPS and a maximum of 65 FPS. This means the average is below 60, and only the upper portion of the frame time distribution reaches playable levels. The 4K Low preset is the only reliable option for 60+ FPS at that resolution.

*Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations for Minimum?*

A: It ranks 1,717 out of 3,712 tested combos, placing it in the upper half (roughly the 54th percentile) of all CPU-GPU pairings in this game. This is consistent with the RX 7700's 58th percentile ranking among all GPUs and the Ryzen 7 7700's 87th percentile among all CPUs.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 3,712 tested CPU-GPU combinations for Minimum, this pairing sits at rank 1,717, which is just inside the top half of all results. The rank reflects a balance between the CPU's strong position and the GPU's mid-range standing: the Ryzen 7 7700 ranks in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, while the RX 7700 ranks in the 58th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest CPU rivals are all within a 0.6% average score delta—the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (0.1% faster), Intel Core 5 221E (0.2% slower), AMD Ryzen 9 270 (0.4% slower), and Intel Core i9-13905H (0.6% slower)—which means the processor is not the differentiator in this combo. On the GPU side, the RX 7700's nearest rivals include the Radeon R9 370X (0.1% slower), Radeon RX 9060 (1% slower), Radeon Pro W5500 (1.1% faster), and RTX 3060 Ti (1.7% faster). Given that the GPU's benchmark score is within 2% of several alternatives, the 1,717 rank is driven more by the GPU's absolute performance tier than by any CPU limitation. The measured FPS data confirms this: at 4K Ultra the combo produces 36 FPS, which is consistent with a mid-range GPU struggling at high pixel counts, while at 1080p Low it reaches 214 FPS, showing the CPU can push far beyond what most displays can show.

The Verdict

The data indicates that this PC can run Minimum comfortably at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but only partially at 3840x2160. At 1080p, every preset—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—averages above 60 FPS, with the weakest result being Ultra at 105 FPS. At 1440p, the same is true: all four presets clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 68 FPS and Low averaging 138 FPS. At 4K, the situation is more limited: only the Low preset averages above 60 FPS (74 FPS), while Medium (57 FPS), High (48 FPS), and Ultra (36 FPS) all fall short. The verdict table confirms this: 4K has one playable setting (Low), 1440p has all four settings playable, and 1080p has all four settings playable. For a 60 FPS target, this combo is best used at 1440p with Ultra settings, where the visual quality is high and the average frame rate remains 8 FPS above the threshold. At 4K, users should stick to Low settings to maintain playability, or accept lower frame rates for higher quality.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 74 FPS. Medium at 4K averages 57 FPS, which is below the threshold, so Low is the only viable option. At 2560x1440, Ultra is the best preset that clears 60 FPS, averaging 68 FPS; this is the highest quality setting at this resolution that maintains playability. At 1920x1080, the best preset is also Ultra, averaging 105 FPS—this provides the maximum visual fidelity while leaving a 45 FPS margin above the 60 FPS minimum. For users prioritizing frame rate over quality, 1080p Low reaches 214 FPS and 1440p Low reaches 138 FPS, but the verdict data shows that Ultra at both 1080p and 1440p is the optimal balance of quality and performance. The 4K resolution is the only one where a compromise is necessary: Low settings are required for 60+ FPS, and even then the 74 FPS average leaves little headroom for demanding scenes.
