Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Intel Arc B580 ranks 2847th out of 3712 tested combos for the game Minimum on this benchmark database. This places the configuration in the lower portion of the test pool, with roughly 77% of all recorded combinations achieving a higher rank. The rank reflects the combination's overall performance across all tested resolutions and presets, not just a single metric. A rank this deep in the list indicates that while the hardware is modern and capable in general workloads, its specific performance profile in Minimum is not exceptional relative to the broader field of tested systems.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2847 out of 3712 places this system in the 23rd percentile of tested configurations. This is a low ranking, suggesting that many other CPU-GPU pairings deliver higher average frame rates in this title. The low rank is driven primarily by the GPU's mid-tier standing (68th percentile among all GPUs) coupled with the game's heavy reliance on raw rasterization throughput. The CPU, by contrast, is a high-end part with an 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, but that strength does not translate into an elevated combo rank because Minimum is not particularly CPU-bound at the settings where the GPU becomes the limiting factor. In practical terms, a rank of 2847 means that a majority of tested systems—including those with older or lower-tier graphics cards—produce better frame rates in Minimum. The data does not show any single catastrophic weakness, but the overall result is a configuration that sits below the median for this specific game.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals that the GPU is the dominant constraint across all resolutions in Minimum. This is evident from the scaling pattern: as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, frame rates drop consistently at every preset. For instance, at High settings, the average FPS goes from 104.8 at 1080p to 67.9 at 1440p, then down to 38.3 at 4K. This steep decline with resolution is a hallmark of GPU-bound performance, since the CPU workload (largely physics, AI, and draw calls) does not scale with pixel count. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides ample headroom for the game's logic; the 3DMark multi-threaded score of 7980 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16817 confirm strong throughput, yet those capabilities are not the bottleneck here.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent only at the lowest resolution and preset. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS reaches 163.2, which is the highest recorded value for this combo. Even at this point, the GPU still handles the majority of the workload—the Arc B580's passmark G3D score of 15748 is sufficient to push well beyond 60 FPS at 1080p Low. The scaling between Low and Ultra presets at 1080p (from 163.2 to 79.5 FPS) shows that the GPU's shading units (2560) and texture units (160) are the primary drivers of performance, not the CPU's cache or clock speeds. At 4K, the CPU's advantage is essentially irrelevant; the GPU's 13.67 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are overwhelmed, as evidenced by the sub-60 FPS results across all presets at 3840x2160.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers smooth performance across all settings. Low produces an average of 163.2 FPS, Medium drops to 124.3 FPS, High yields 104.8 FPS, and Ultra still maintains 79.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 83.7 FPS, indicating that the game's higher presets impose a moderate load on the GPU. All four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra being 32.5% faster than the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, the results show a clear step down: Low averages 103 FPS, Medium drops to 78.3 FPS, and High falls to 67.9 FPS. Ultra at 1440p is the first preset to fail the 60 FPS mark, averaging just 49.1 FPS—a 18.2% deficit below the threshold. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches playable levels. Medium averages 44.5 FPS, Low averages 53.5 FPS, High averages 38.3 FPS, and Ultra averages 25.8 FPS. The 4K results show a progressive collapse: moving from Low to Ultra at 4K costs 27.7 FPS, which is a 51.8% reduction. The data shows no min or max FPS values recorded, so all analysis relies on averages; the absence of frame time variance data means stutter or hitches cannot be assessed from this pack.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: this system can run Minimum at 60 FPS or above at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. At 1080p, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra achieving 79.5 FPS, which is 32.5% above the playable mark. At 1440p, three presets are playable: High (67.9 FPS), Medium (78.3 FPS), and Low (103 FPS). The most demanding playable preset at 1440p is High, with an average of 67.9 FPS, leaving a 13.2% margin above the threshold. At 4K, no settings achieve 60 FPS; the best result is Low at 53.5 FPS, which is 10.8% below the playable line. For users targeting 4K, the data shows the system is not viable for this game, even at the lowest quality preset. For 1080p and 1440p users, the system is fully capable, with enough headroom at the highest playable presets to ensure consistent frame delivery.

FAQ

*Q: Can this PC run Minimum at 60 FPS on a 1080p monitor?*

A: Yes. All four tested presets at 1920x1080 exceed 60 FPS: Low averages 163.2 FPS, Medium 124.3 FPS, High 104.8 FPS, and Ultra 79.5 FPS.

Q: What is the best preset at 1440p that stays above 60 FPS?

A: High settings at 2560x1440 produce an average of 67.9 FPS, which is the most demanding preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold. Medium and Low also work, averaging 78.3 and 103 FPS respectively.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game?

A: The GPU is the limiting factor. Frame rates drop sharply with resolution increases (e.g., High goes from 104.8 FPS at 1080p to 38.3 FPS at 4K), indicating GPU-bound performance. The CPU's high multi-threaded scores do not prevent this decline.

Q: How does the Intel Arc B580 compare to its nearest rivals in this context?

A: The Arc B580's average benchmark score is 23021, nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (23061, 0.2% higher) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (22895, 0.6% lower). The RTX 3080 scores 23172, which is 0.7% higher.

Q: What are the 4K performance results?

A: No preset at 3840x2160 reaches 60 FPS. The highest average is Low at 53.5 FPS, followed by Medium at 44.5 FPS, High at 38.3 FPS, and Ultra at 25.8 FPS.

Q: Does the CPU have enough cores for this game?

A: Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16817. The game's performance scaling with resolution shows the CPU is not the bottleneck, as the GPU's rasterization limits frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the most demanding option that remains at or above 60 FPS, delivering an average of 79.5 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available while maintaining a comfortable 32.5% margin above the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, the High preset is the best choice, averaging 67.9 FPS. This provides a 13.2% buffer over 60 FPS, making it a stable option for 1440p gaming. Moving to Medium at 1440p would yield 78.3 FPS, but High offers better visual fidelity while still clearing the threshold. At 3840x2160, no settings are recommended, as even the lowest preset (Low) only reaches 53.5 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable line. The data shows no playable settings at 4K, so the best approach is to reduce resolution to 1440p or lower for a playable experience.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals based on average benchmark scores are the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G (score 33089, 0% delta), Intel Core i7-13650HX (33089, 0% delta), AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX (33091, 0% delta), and AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H (33201, -0.4% delta). These processors deliver nearly identical overall performance to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D (33079 average). In Minimum, users with any of these CPUs would expect similar frame rates when paired with the same GPU, since the game is GPU-bound and the CPU's headroom is not fully utilized. For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (23061, -0.2% delta), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (22895, 0.6% delta), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (23172, -0.7% delta), and NVIDIA P106-100 (23249, -1% delta). The Arc B580's average score of 23021 is within 1% of all these cards. In practical terms, swapping the B580 for an RTX 2080 or RX 580 2048SP would yield nearly identical FPS in Minimum at the same settings, because the measured deltas are negligible. The RTX 3080's slight 0.7% higher score would translate to a marginally higher frame rate, but not enough to change the verdict at any resolution. These alternatives inform the expectation that the combo's performance is representative of a mid-range GPU tier, not an outlier.
