Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers exceptional frame rates in Minimum, a third-person shooter released on 2014-06-25. Measured data across three resolutions and four quality presets shows this combination never drops below the 60 FPS playability threshold, making it a top-tier performer for this title. The benchmark results indicate a system with enormous headroom, capable of running the game at maximum settings with frame rates well above what most displays can refresh.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces staggering numbers. The Low preset averages 370 FPS, the highest recorded for this pairing. Medium settings yield an average of 329 FPS, with a minimum of 280 FPS and a maximum of 379 FPS. High settings drop slightly to an average of 276 FPS, while the Ultra preset still maintains an average of 210 FPS. These figures demonstrate that at 1080p, the RTX 5090 D is barely challenged, with even the most demanding preset producing frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of virtually all gaming monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally strong. Low settings average 277 FPS, while Medium delivers 212 FPS with a minimum of 180 FPS and a maximum of 244 FPS. High settings produce an average of 178 FPS, and Ultra maintains 136 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable reduction in frame rates, but the overall experience remains silky smooth, with the Ultra preset still more than doubling the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the demands of 4K resolution begin to show, but the results are still impressive. The Low preset averages 149 FPS. Medium settings deliver 114 FPS on average, with a minimum of 97 FPS and a maximum of 131 FPS. High settings produce 96 FPS, and the Ultra preset maintains an average of 73 FPS. Even at 4K Ultra, this combination stays comfortably above 60 FPS, proving that the RTX 5090 D has enough raw power to handle this title at the highest resolution with all settings maxed out.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 210 FPS. This is the maximum quality level available, and the system clears the playable threshold by a massive margin. There is no reason to compromise on visual fidelity at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again qualifies as the best settings, with an average of 136 FPS. This represents the full visual experience at 1440p, and the frame rate remains well above the 60 FPS target. The gap between Ultra and the next tier down, High at 178 FPS, is substantial, but both are far beyond what is needed for smooth gameplay.

For 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is also the best playable setting, averaging 73 FPS. This is the only resolution where the margin above 60 FPS narrows, but the data confirms that 4K Ultra is still a viable option. The High preset at 96 FPS offers additional headroom, but Ultra provides the maximum visual quality while staying above the playability threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the dominant factor in this configuration. The RTX 5090 D, with its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth, provides the massive frame rates seen at lower resolutions. The scaling from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 shows a performance drop of roughly 25-34% across presets, which is consistent with the increased pixel count taxing the GPU more heavily.

The transition from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 reveals an even steeper decline, with frame rates falling by approximately 46-50% depending on the preset. This pattern is classic GPU-bound behavior, where the rendering workload at 4K overwhelms the pixel throughput capabilities. The CPU, a 12-core, 24-thread AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, provides ample processing power to feed the GPU at all resolutions, but its role diminishes as resolution increases.

At 1920x1080, the CPU's single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3dmark_single_thread score of 941 and a passmark_single_thread score of 3469, ensures that frame rates can reach the 370 FPS ceiling seen at Low settings. However, the fact that the Ultra preset at 1080p still produces 210 FPS suggests that even at lower resolutions, the GPU remains the primary bottleneck. The Ryzen 9 5900X's 64 MB of L3 cache and Zen 3 architecture ensure it never holds back the RTX 5090 D in this title.

Despite these narrow benchmark deltas, the measured FPS in Minimum demonstrates that the RTX 5090 D is more than capable of delivering outstanding real-world performance.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Minimum at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all three resolutions — 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 — have every playable setting marked as playable, including Ultra. The best settings at each resolution are Ultra, with average FPS of 210 at 1080p, 136 at 1440p, and 73 at 4K.

The performance is so strong that the concept of a "minimum" playable configuration is irrelevant here; the system operates far above the 60 FPS threshold in all scenarios. The only consideration is whether the user desires the absolute maximum visual fidelity at 4K, where the 73 FPS average still provides a smooth experience, or prefers higher frame rates with slightly reduced settings. Given that even the most demanding preset at 4K stays above the playability threshold, this combination offers complete freedom to prioritize either visual quality or frame rate without compromise. The data shows a system with extraordinary headroom for Minimum, making it an ideal choice for players who want to experience this shooter at its absolute best.
