Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER shows a wide performance spread across the three tested resolutions and four quality presets. At 3840x2160, the highest resolution measured, the game runs at an average of 36.3 FPS on High settings, 43.2 FPS on Medium, and 31.7 FPS on Ultra. The only playable option at 4K is Low, which lands exactly at 60 FPS average. This is a stark contrast to the higher resolutions, indicating that 4K pushes the GPU to its limit with this title.

Moving down to 2560x1440, the picture improves considerably. Low settings deliver 110 FPS average, Medium reaches 82.4 FPS, and High produces 69.3 FPS. Ultra drops below the 60 FPS threshold at 53.3 FPS, which makes it the only non-playable preset at this resolution. The scaling from 4K to 1440p is substantial: High settings jump from 36.3 FPS to 69.3 FPS, a gain of roughly 91% with the same quality preset. Low settings scale from exactly 60 FPS at 4K to 110 FPS at 1440p, an 83% improvement.

At 1920x1080, the combination performs strongly across the board. Low settings produce 170 FPS average, Medium reaches 132.3 FPS, High delivers 110.7 FPS, and even Ultra stays well above the playable threshold at 85.1 FPS. Every preset at 1080p clears the 60 FPS mark, and the margin is comfortable even at the most demanding settings. The data shows a consistent progression: as resolution decreases, the average FPS increases across every settings tier, which points to the GPU being the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

The measured data does not include minimum or maximum FPS values, so the analysis relies on average frame rates only. All recorded figures are average FPS, and no frame time data or 1% lows are available in the database for this configuration. The overall pattern is clear: 1080p is fully playable at all settings, 1440p is playable up to High, and 4K is playable only at Low.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database places the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X at the 85th percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35909. Its nearest rivals are very close in aggregate performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 scores 35802, a delta of only 0.3%. The Intel Core 7 250H follows at 35728, which is 0.5% behind. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 also sits at 35719, again 0.5% behind. The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H rounds out the group at 35670, a 0.7% gap. These deltas are small enough that, in gaming workloads, the choice among these CPUs would likely produce no measurable difference in frame rates for this title.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER sits at the 62nd percentile among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 18093. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile at 18159, which is 0.4% faster. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, 0.5% ahead. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, 1.5% ahead of the RTX 2060 SUPER in the aggregate benchmark. The Intel Arc A770M completes the list at 18383, 1.6% ahead. While these deltas are minor, they suggest that a system built around any of these GPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Minimum at the same settings and resolution.

The key takeaway from the rival data is that both the CPU and GPU have close neighbors in the database. A user swapping the Ryzen 7 7700X for the Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 or the Core 7 250H would see essentially the same CPU-bound behavior. Similarly, swapping the RTX 2060 SUPER for an RTX 3060 Mobile or Radeon Pro 5700 would keep GPU performance within a rounding error of the measured results. The combination ranks 2585 out of 3712 tested combos in this game, placing it in the upper-middle portion of the database.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the workload shifts between the Ryzen 7 7700X and the RTX 2060 SUPER. At 1920x1080, the CPU has ample headroom, and the GPU is likely the limiting factor, but the frame rates are high enough that the balance works well. Low settings at 1080p hit 170 FPS, while Ultra drops to 85.1 FPS. The drop of roughly 50% from Low to Ultra suggests that the GPU is doing substantially more work at higher presets, but the CPU still keeps up.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues. Low settings produce 110 FPS, Medium 82.4 FPS, High 69.3 FPS, and Ultra 53.3 FPS. The decline from Low to Ultra is about 52%, similar to the 1080p scaling. This consistency implies that the GPU workload scales predictably with preset quality, and the CPU is not introducing a bottleneck at this resolution. The Ryzen 7 7700X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, has enough headroom to feed the RTX 2060 SUPER even at the lower resolutions where frame rates are highest.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. High settings drop to 36.3 FPS, Medium to 43.2 FPS, and Ultra to 31.7 FPS. The CPU is far less relevant at this resolution because the pixel throughput demand overwhelms the GPU. The fact that Low settings at 4K land exactly on 60 FPS while Medium drops to 43.2 FPS shows a steep GPU cost for the next quality tier. The data indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the component that decides playability at 4K, whereas the Ryzen 7 7700X is sufficient across all tested configurations.

The resolution scaling itself supports this interpretation. At High settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces FPS from 110.7 to 69.3, a 37% drop. Moving from 1440p to 4K reduces FPS from 69.3 to 36.3, a 48% drop. The larger drop at the higher resolution step is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where pixel count grows faster than the GPU can compensate. The CPU's role is secondary in this game, and the recorded data shows no sign of CPU limiting at any resolution or preset.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific combination at 2585 out of 3712 tested combinations for Minimum. That places the combo in the 69.6th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 30% of tested combos perform better and about 70% perform worse. Given that the GPU sits at the 62nd percentile and the CPU at the 85th percentile, the combo rank is pulled down by the GPU. The Ryzen 7 7700X is a high-end CPU by database standards, but the RTX 2060 SUPER is a mid-range GPU from an older generation.

The rank of 2585 suggests that many combos with stronger GPUs surpass this system, even if their CPUs are weaker. The CPU's high percentile does not fully compensate for the GPU's lower standing in this game, which is GPU-bound at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the combo performs well, and the rank might be higher for that specific scenario, but the overall rank reflects performance across the full range of tested conditions.

The nearest rival data reinforces this view. The RTX 2060 SUPER's closest GPU rivals are within 1.6% of its average score, and the CPU's closest rivals are within 0.7%. A combo with a Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 and an RTX 3060 Mobile, for example, would likely land at a very similar rank. The delta percentages are small enough that the combo rank is more sensitive to the GPU choice than the CPU choice in this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the only preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold is Low, with an average of exactly 60 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall short, so Low is the recommended setting for 4K play.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 69.3 FPS. Medium and Low also clear the threshold at 82.4 and 110 FPS respectively, but High offers the best visual quality while remaining playable.

At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra is the most demanding playable preset, with an average of 85.1 FPS. High, Medium, and Low are also playable at 110.7, 132.3, and 170 FPS respectively, but Ultra provides the highest visual quality without sacrificing playability.

The Verdict

The data shows that this system can run Minimum, but the experience depends heavily on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, every preset is playable, with Ultra averaging 85.1 FPS. This is the resolution where the combination performs best. At 2560x1440, High settings are the ceiling for 60 FPS play, averaging 69.3 FPS, while Ultra falls to 53.3 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low settings reach the 60 FPS threshold, averaging exactly 60 FPS.

The verdict by resolution is clear. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers a fully playable experience at 1080p across all quality presets. At 1440p, users must cap their settings at High to stay above 60 FPS. At 4K, only Low settings are viable. The GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU provides ample headroom throughout. For users targeting 1080p or 1440p with moderate settings, this combo is sufficient. For 4K play, the system requires the lowest quality preset to maintain playable frame rates.
