Minimum

Best Settings per Resolution

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER delivers a playable experience at 1080p and 1440p, but falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K. The database records a playable threshold of 60 FPS, and the measured results show exactly where this combo stands.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 83 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available in the game, and the combo handles it without dropping below the playable threshold. The Medium preset runs at 130 FPS average, High at 109 FPS, and Low at 170 FPS, so all settings at 1080p are comfortably playable.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, delivering an average of 71 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by a solid margin. The Medium preset records 84 FPS average, and Low reaches 110 FPS. However, Ultra drops to 54 FPS average, which falls short of the 60 FPS playability line, so it is not recommended.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The best result is Low at 59 FPS average, just one frame short of playable. Medium records 45 FPS average, High drops to 38 FPS, and Ultra falls to 29 FPS. The verdict data confirms that no playable settings exist at this resolution for this combination.

In practical terms, players targeting 60 FPS should stick to 1080p Ultra or 1440p High. The 4K resolution remains out of reach for this pairing, even at the lowest settings, by a narrow margin.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear shift in component responsibility as resolution increases. At 1080p, the GPU has headroom to spare, and the CPU's strong single-thread and multi-thread performance keeps frame rates high. The Ryzen 9 5950X, with its 16 cores and 32 threads, records a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26017 and a single-core score of 1614, which indicates ample processing power for this title.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on a larger role. The frame rates drop from 170 FPS at 1080p Low to 110 FPS at 1440p Low, a reduction of 35%. The High preset falls from 109 FPS at 1080p to 71 FPS at 1440p, a 35% decline as well. This consistent scaling pattern suggests the RTX 2060 SUPER is becoming the limiting factor as pixel count rises.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. The Low preset drops to 59 FPS, and the gap between settings narrows: Low to Medium is only 14 FPS apart, Medium to High is 7 FPS, and High to Ultra is 9 FPS. The RTX 2060 SUPER, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, simply cannot push enough frames at 4K regardless of CPU capability.

The CPU's influence is most visible at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 100 FPS on most settings. At this resolution, the GPU has enough capacity to let the CPU drive performance, and the Ryzen 9 5950X's 3.40 GHz base clock and 4.90 GHz boost clock provide strong single-thread responsiveness. At higher resolutions, the GPU's raw throughput dominates, and the CPU matters less.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a moderate GPU load increase, while the jump from 1440p to 4K reveals a steep performance cliff. The RTX 2060 SUPER's 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 105.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are simply insufficient for 4K in this title, and no amount of CPU headroom can compensate.

How This Combo Ranks

This pairing ranks 2602 out of 3712 tested combos in the database for this game. That places it in the lower-middle portion of all tested configurations, which is consistent with the GPU being an older mid-range part.

The RTX 2060 SUPER sits at the 62nd percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 18093. The Ryzen 9 5950X, by contrast, ranks at the 91st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 51947. This mismatch is telling: the CPU is a high-end part from 2020, while the GPU is a mid-range part from 2019. The combo's overall rank of 2602 reflects the GPU's limitations more than the CPU's strengths.

The measured FPS data reinforces this. At 1080p Ultra, the combo achieves 83 FPS, which is respectable but not exceptional for a system with a top-tier CPU. At 1440p High, the 71 FPS result is adequate, but the drop to 54 FPS at Ultra shows the GPU struggling. At 4K, the combo falls out of playable territory entirely.

In the context of the full database, this rank means that roughly 70% of tested combos perform better in this game. The primary reason is the GPU's age and tier, not the CPU. Players considering this combo should understand that the Ryzen 9 5950X has significant headroom for a future GPU upgrade, but the current pairing is balanced toward CPU-heavy workloads rather than high-resolution gaming.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database provides nearest rival comparisons for both components, which helps identify hardware that would behave similarly in this game.

For the Ryzen 9 5950X, the closest rivals are the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX, with an average score of 52073 and a delta of -0.2%, and the AMD EPYC 8124P, with an average score of 52121 and a delta of -0.3%. The Intel Core i9-13900F scores 51730, a delta of 0.4%, and the Intel Core i7-14700 scores 52301, a delta of -0.7%. These processors are all within 0.7% of the Ryzen 9 5950X's average score, meaning any of them would produce nearly identical frame rates in this game when paired with the same GPU.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, with an average score of 18159 and a delta of -0.4%, the AMD Radeon Pro 5700, with an average score of 18189 and a delta of -0.5%, the AMD Radeon RX 460, with an average score of 18373 and a delta of -1.5%, and the Intel Arc A770M, with an average score of 18383 and a delta of -1.6%. These GPUs all perform within 1.6% of the RTX 2060 SUPER, so swapping to any of them would yield virtually the same FPS in this game.

It is worth remembering the AMD Radeon RX 460 is an older, lower-tier card, and its proximity in score highlights how the RTX 2060 SUPER's benchmark average places it in a crowded field. The Intel Arc A770M, a mobile part, also lands in the same performance bracket. Players looking to upgrade or replace either component can expect similar results from these alternatives.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four settings tiers. Here is the complete breakdown:

1920x1080:

• Low: 170 FPS average
• Medium: 130 FPS average, 111 FPS minimum, 150 FPS maximum
• High: 109 FPS average
• Ultra: 83 FPS average

At 1080p, all settings exceed the 60 FPS threshold, and the Low preset nearly triples it. The Medium preset's minimum of 111 FPS indicates stable frame delivery even in demanding scenes.

2560x1440:

• Low: 110 FPS average
• Medium: 84 FPS average, 71 FPS minimum, 97 FPS maximum
• High: 71 FPS average
• Ultra: 54 FPS average

At 1440p, the Low, Medium, and High presets remain playable. The Medium preset's minimum of 71 FPS matches the High preset's average, showing consistent performance across these settings. Ultra falls short at 54 FPS.

3840x2160:

• Low: 59 FPS average
• Medium: 45 FPS average, 38 FPS minimum, 52 FPS maximum
• High: 38 FPS average
• Ultra: 29 FPS average

At 4K, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The Low preset is closest at 59 FPS, just one frame below the threshold. The Medium preset's minimum of 38 FPS shows significant frame drops, and the Ultra preset bottoms out at 29 FPS.

The min and max values recorded for Medium presets at each resolution provide insight into frame pacing. At 1080p, the spread is 39 FPS (111 to 150), at 1440p it is 26 FPS (71 to 97), and at 4K it is 14 FPS (38 to 52). The narrowing spread at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is consistently maxed out, leaving less variation in frame delivery.
