Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 delivers playable performance nowhere. The recorded averages are 26.2 FPS on Low, 22 FPS on Medium, 19.1 FPS on High, and 15.2 FPS on Ultra. Every setting tier at 4K falls far below the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the gap widening as visual quality increases. The spread from Low to Ultra is 11 FPS, showing that even dropping to the lowest settings cannot rescue this resolution for this combination.

At 2560x1440, results improve but remain below the playable threshold across all settings. Low settings produce 55.2 FPS, which is the closest this combo gets to 60 FPS at this resolution, but it still misses the mark. Medium averages 41.1 FPS, High drops to 35.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 24 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra here is 31.2 FPS, a much larger spread than at 4K, indicating that settings scaling has a stronger impact at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the picture changes meaningfully. Low settings hit 84.8 FPS, clearing the playable threshold by a comfortable margin. Medium averages 60.4 FPS, just above the 60 FPS line. High drops below the threshold to 51.7 FPS, and Ultra falls further to 42.7 FPS. Two settings tiers are playable at 1080p: Low and Medium. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 42.1 FPS, the largest settings spread recorded across all three resolutions, which underscores how sensitive this game is to preset changes on this hardware.

Minimum FPS and maximum FPS values were not recorded for any resolution or settings combination, so the analysis relies on average FPS only. The database shows no stutter or frame-time data for this title, so conclusions about consistency cannot be drawn from the measured dataset.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Ryzen 7 7700X is a high-end desktop processor with 8 cores, 16 threads, a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, and a 3DMark max-threads score of 8852. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 19088, and its single-core score is 1987. The Radeon RX 570, by contrast, is an end-of-life GPU with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, a boost clock of 1244 MHz, and 2048 shading units. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 880, while its Geekbench Vulkan score is 42752.

Benchmark results indicate that this game scales heavily with resolution and preset, which is typical of a GPU-bound title. At 3840x2160, the average FPS across all settings ranges from 15.2 to 26.2, a narrow band that suggests the GPU is the dominant bottleneck. Dropping from Ultra to Low at 4K yields only 11 FPS of improvement, which is insufficient to approach playability. The RX 570's 224.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 5.095 TFLOPS FP32 throughput are simply not enough to feed a 4K framebuffer at acceptable rates.

At 2560x1440, the GPU still dominates. The settings spread of 31.2 FPS is wider than at 4K, but even the best case, Low at 55.2 FPS, falls short of the 60 FPS target. The CPU's capabilities are not the limiting factor here; the recorded data shows that the bottleneck remains the GPU's rendering throughput.

At 1920x1080, the CPU begins to matter more, but the GPU still sets the ceiling. Low settings reach 84.8 FPS, which indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU well above the playable threshold when the GPU is not overloaded. Medium at 60.4 FPS is still playable, but High at 51.7 FPS and Ultra at 42.7 FPS show that the GPU's fill rate and shading capacity erode performance as preset complexity rises. The Ryzen 7 7700X's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by a PassMark single-thread score of 4190 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2289, is more than sufficient for this title; the RX 570 is the component that determines the outcome.

The scaling pattern across resolutions confirms this interpretation. Going from 1080p Low to 1440p Low costs 29.6 FPS, and going from 1440p Low to 4K Low costs another 29 FPS. These are large, consistent drops that track pixel count increases, which is the signature of a GPU-limited scenario.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database are all within a narrow performance band. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 has an average benchmark score of 35802, which is 0.3% lower than the Ryzen 7 7700X's 35909. The Intel Core 7 250H scores 35728, 0.5% lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 scores 35719, also 0.5% lower. The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H scores 35670, 0.7% lower. Any of these processors would behave nearly identically to the Ryzen 7 7700X in this game, since the performance deltas are all under 1%.

The GPU's nearest rivals are similarly close. The AMD Radeon RX 6800M has an average score of 28874, which is 0.4% higher than the RX 570's 28766. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28580, 0.7% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 470 scores 28996, 0.8% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 scores 28421, 1.2% lower. These four GPUs would deliver nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Minimum when paired with this CPU.

For a system using a Ryzen 7 7700X, swapping the RX 570 for an RX 470 or RX 6800M would change average FPS by less than 1%, based on the recorded benchmark deltas. A user with an R9 M295X or Quadro RTX 8000 would also see essentially the same performance in this title. The practical takeaway is that the RX 570 sits in a tightly clustered group of GPUs, and none of its nearest rivals would push any resolution into a new playability tier.

FAQ

A: The RX 570's average benchmark score is 28766. The RX 6800M is 0.4% faster, the R9 M295X is 0.7% slower, the RX 470 is 0.8% faster, and the Quadro RTX 8000 is 1.2% slower. These differences are negligible, so any of these GPUs would produce nearly the same frame rates.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 1080p?

A: Medium is the highest playable preset at 1080p, with an average of 60.4 FPS. Low is also playable at 84.8 FPS, but Medium offers the best visual quality that still stays at or above the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 3523 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. That places it in the bottom 5% of all recorded system pairings, a low position driven almost entirely by the GPU's limitations. The Ryzen 7 7700X is a strong CPU, sitting in the 85th percentile against all CPUs in the database, but the RX 570's 74th percentile GPU standing is not enough to overcome the demands of this title at higher resolutions.

The ranking reflects the fact that only two settings tiers across all tested resolutions are playable. Most other combos in the database likely achieve playable frame rates at more resolutions or higher presets. The combination's position near the bottom of the list is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows no playable configuration at 1440p or 4K and only Low and Medium at 1080p.

For context, the CPU alone benchmarks in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, which means it is not the source of the low ranking. The GPU's 74th percentile is also not catastrophic on its own, but when paired with the demands of Minimum at higher resolutions, the combined result is a system that sits in the 3523rd position out of 3712. The data suggests that users with this pairing should target 1080p gaming, as that is the only resolution where the system can consistently deliver playable performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest recorded average is 26.2 FPS on Low, which is still far below playable. There is no recommended setting for 4K with this combination.

At 2560x1440, the same situation applies. No preset reaches 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 55.2 FPS, but it falls short. There is no recommended setting for 1440p with this combination.

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Medium, which averages 60.4 FPS. This is the highest settings tier that stays at or above the 60 FPS threshold. Low is also playable at 84.8 FPS and would be the choice for users who prioritize frame rate headroom over visual fidelity. High at 51.7 FPS and Ultra at 42.7 FPS are not recommended, as both fall below the playable threshold. For users with a 1080p display, Medium is the optimal balance of visual quality and performance, delivering exactly 60.4 FPS on average.
