Minimum

Best Settings per Resolution

This combo has no trouble keeping the game above the 60 FPS playability threshold at any resolution tested. The database records average FPS for every preset at each resolution, and all of them clear 60 FPS. The most demanding preset that still stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra in every case.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset runs at an average of 176 FPS. That is a massive margin over the 60 FPS threshold, so there is no reason to drop to High, Medium, or Low unless you are chasing extremely high refresh rates. The data shows High at 231 FPS, Medium at 248.6 FPS, and Low at 273 FPS, so even the most demanding settings leave plenty of headroom.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 114 FPS. That is well above 60 FPS and still smooth for most high-refresh displays. High runs at 144 FPS, Medium at 174.4 FPS, and Low at 229.8 FPS. If you have a 144 Hz monitor, Ultra is the right call because it stays comfortably above 114 FPS, which is close to that refresh rate. For a 165 Hz or 240 Hz panel, you would need to consider High or Medium, but the default recommendation is Ultra for the best image quality at 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 60.5 FPS. That is just barely above the 60 FPS threshold, so it is technically playable, but it leaves almost no margin for demanding scenes. High runs at 76.3 FPS, Medium at 94.4 FPS, and Low at 124.1 FPS. For 4K gaming, the data suggests Ultra is the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS, but if you want a consistent 60 FPS with room to spare, High is the safer choice. The recorded 60.5 FPS average at Ultra means occasional dips below 60 are likely in busy areas, even though the database does not provide minimum frame times.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Minimum at 4K with all settings maxed out?

A: Yes, but barely. At 3840x2160 with the Ultra preset, the measured average FPS is 60.5, which is just above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The verdict in the database lists Ultra as the best playable setting at 4K, but the margin is thin.

Q: What is the best setting for 1440p gaming?

A: Ultra is the best setting at 2560x1440. The measured average FPS at Ultra is 114, which is well above 60 FPS and smooth for most high-refresh monitors. If you have a 144 Hz display, Ultra is the right choice because it nearly matches that refresh rate.

Q: How does the Ultra preset compare to High at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 176 FPS while High averages 231 FPS. The gap is 55 FPS, which is significant. For a 144 Hz or 165 Hz monitor, Ultra still delivers enough FPS to saturate the display. For a 240 Hz monitor, High or Medium would be necessary to push closer to the refresh ceiling.

Q: Is there any resolution where this combo fails to hit 60 FPS?

A: No. The database shows all 12 measured combinations (4 resolutions, 3 settings each, plus the 4th preset at each resolution) stay above 60 FPS. The lowest recorded average is 60.5 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is still above the threshold.

Q: What is the FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, Low averages 124.1 FPS while Ultra averages 60.5 FPS. That is a 63.6 FPS difference. Low more than doubles the frame rate of Ultra, but Ultra is still playable.

Q: Does this CPU bottleneck the GPU at any resolution?

A: The data does not show a bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 273 FPS, which is very high. At 4K Ultra, it drops to 60.5 FPS, which is expected from the higher resolution load. The CPU's benchmark scores (for example, 10283 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 1451 in single-core) suggest it can feed the GPU well at these frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database records average FPS for each resolution and preset combination. There are no minimum or maximum FPS values in the measured data, so the following breakdown uses only the average figures.

1920x1080:

• Low: 273 FPS
• Medium: 248.6 FPS
• High: 231 FPS
• Ultra: 176 FPS

At 1080p, the range from Low to Ultra spans 97 FPS. Low is 55% faster than Ultra. The scaling from Ultra to High is a 55 FPS jump, which is the largest single-step gain in this resolution. From High to Medium the gain is 17.6 FPS, and from Medium to Low it is 24.4 FPS.

2560x1440:

• Low: 229.8 FPS
• Medium: 174.4 FPS
• High: 144 FPS
• Ultra: 114 FPS

At 1440p, the range from Low to Ultra spans 115.8 FPS. Low is 101.6% faster than Ultra. The step from Ultra to High adds 30 FPS, from High to Medium adds 30.4 FPS, and from Medium to Low adds 55.4 FPS. The Medium to Low jump is the largest, indicating that Medium is already quite demanding relative to Low.

3840x2160:

• Low: 124.1 FPS
• Medium: 94.4 FPS
• High: 76.3 FPS
• Ultra: 60.5 FPS

At 4K, the range from Low to Ultra spans 63.6 FPS. Low is 105.1% faster than Ultra. The step from Ultra to High adds 15.8 FPS, from High to Medium adds 18.1 FPS, and from Medium to Low adds 29.7 FPS. The scaling is more uniform here than at lower resolutions, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at 4K.

Comparing across resolutions, the same preset becomes progressively slower as resolution increases. For Ultra, 1080p gives 176 FPS, 1440p gives 114 FPS, and 4K gives 60.5 FPS. That represents a 35.2% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 46.9% drop from 1440p to 4K. For Low, the figures are 273 FPS at 1080p, 229.8 FPS at 1440p, and 124.1 FPS at 4K, which is a 15.8% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 46.0% drop from 1440p to 4K.

The data suggests the RTX 4080 SUPER has enough headroom that even at 4K, the Low preset delivers over 120 FPS. The 124.1 FPS figure at 4K Low is particularly notable because it means the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower settings on this resolution; the CPU would likely become the constraint at that point.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this Intel Core i5-10400F plus NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination at rank 399 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. That puts it in the top 10.8% of all configurations tested for this game. The percentile for the CPU is 68, meaning it outperforms 68% of all CPUs in the database, while the GPU sits at percentile 86, outperforming 86% of all GPUs.

The rank of 399 is interesting because the GPU is a very high-end part, but the CPU is a mid-range 10th-gen Core i5. The combination lands well above the median combo, which would be around rank 1856. The gap between the CPU percentile of 68 and the GPU percentile of 86 suggests the CPU is the weaker link in this pairing, but it is not holding the system back enough to drop the combo out of the top 11%.

Looking at the measured FPS, the combo delivers playable frame rates at every preset and resolution. The rank reflects that: a combo that runs the game at 60.5 FPS minimum across all tested configurations is clearly capable. The 399 rank is driven by the GPU's strong performance, while the CPU's 68 percentile is sufficient to avoid major bottlenecks at the tested settings.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 14185, which is close to its nearest rivals in the database. The GPU's average benchmark score is 54209, which is also very close to its nearest rivals. The combination of a slightly above-average CPU and a well-above-average GPU produces a system that ranks in the top 11% for this game.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database provides nearest rivals for both components. For the CPU, the Intel Core i5-10400F has an average benchmark score of 14185. Its nearest rivals are:

• Intel Xeon 6756E: average score 14163, which is 0.2% lower than the i5-10400F
• Intel Core 7 160UL: average score 14232, which is 0.3% higher
• AMD EPYC 7552: average score 14115, which is 0.5% lower
• AMD Ryzen 3 7320C: average score 14277, which is 0.6% higher

These deltas are all within 1% of the i5-10400F, so any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically in Minimum. The Xeon 6756E and EPYC 7552 are server parts, which is unusual for a gaming comparison, but their benchmark scores are close enough that the in-game performance would be similar. The Core 7 160UL and Ryzen 3 7320C are more mainstream parts, and they would deliver essentially the same frame rates as the i5-10400F.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 54209. Its nearest rivals are:

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080: average score 54247, which is 0.1% higher
• AMD Radeon Pro W5700X: average score 54828, which is 1.1% higher
• AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB: average score 55698, which is 2.7% higher
• AMD Radeon 8060S: average score 55757, which is 2.8% higher

The RTX 4080 is the closest match, with a delta of only 0.1%. That means swapping the RTX 4080 SUPER for a regular RTX 4080 would produce nearly identical FPS in Minimum. The AMD options are slightly faster in synthetic benchmarks, but the deltas are small enough that real-world frame rates would be within a few percent. The Radeon Pro W5700X is a workstation card, while the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and Radeon 8060S are consumer parts.

If you were building a similar system, pairing the i5-10400F with an RTX 4080 (non-SUPER) would give you the closest match to this combo. The 0.1% delta suggests you would see the same measured FPS figures within rounding error. Alternatively, swapping the CPU for a Ryzen 3 7320C would shift performance by only 0.6%, which is imperceptible in practice.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Minimum? Yes, absolutely. The database confirms that this combo clears the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and every preset tested.

At 1920x1080, the verdict is straightforward: Ultra runs at 176 FPS average, which is nearly triple the playability threshold. The worst case in the entire tested set is 4K Ultra at 60.5 FPS, and even that is technically above the line. For 1080p and 1440p, you can enable the highest settings without any concern. The 1440p Ultra figure of 114 FPS is particularly good, as it matches the refresh rate of many high-end monitors.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more nuanced. Ultra averages 60.5 FPS, which passes the threshold but leaves only 0.5 FPS of headroom. The database lists Ultra as the best playable setting at 4K, but the practical advice is to use High if you want a more consistent experience. High at 4K averages 76.3 FPS, which is 26.1% above the threshold and much safer for scenes with heavy action. The data shows Low at 4K delivers 124.1 FPS, so even at 4K you have a wide range of options depending on your tolerance for visual trade-offs.

The CPU and GPU combination is well balanced for this game. The RTX 4080 SUPER provides the bulk of the performance, and the i5-10400F is sufficient to keep frame rates high even at 1080p Low where the CPU would be most likely to bottleneck. The 273 FPS figure at 1080p Low suggests the CPU is not a limiting factor at that setting.

For the best experience, the recommendation is: 1080p Ultra (176 FPS), 1440p Ultra (114 FPS), and 4K High (76.3 FPS) if you want stability, or 4K Ultra (60.5 FPS) if you want maximum visual fidelity and can tolerate the tight margin. This is a capable combo that handles Minimum with significant headroom at mainstream resolutions and acceptable performance at 4K.
