Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

Starting at 1920x1080, the data shows this configuration delivers its strongest results. At Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 188 FPS. Medium settings still produce 144 FPS on average, with a minimum of 122 FPS and a maximum of 165 FPS. High settings drop the average to 121 FPS, while Ultra settings settle at 92 FPS average. For a third-person shooter, these numbers indicate headroom well beyond the 60 FPS playability threshold at every preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but scales down noticeably. Low settings average 121 FPS, which matches the 1080p High result. Medium settings average 93 FPS, with a minimum of 79 FPS and a maximum of 106 FPS. High settings produce 78 FPS on average. Ultra settings fall to 59 FPS average, just one frame below the 60 FPS threshold. The 1440p data shows a clear pattern: the first three presets clear 60 FPS comfortably, while Ultra sits right at the edge of playability.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates compress further. Low settings average 65 FPS, the only preset at this resolution to clear the 60 FPS mark. Medium settings average 50 FPS, with a minimum of 42 FPS and a maximum of 57 FPS. High settings average 42 FPS, and Ultra drops to 32 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 33 FPS, a substantial spread that shows how much the rendering load grows with each preset tier.

The measured FPS data includes min and max values only for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the range from 122 to 165 FPS indicates consistent frame delivery with no severe dips. At 1440p Medium, the range from 79 to 106 FPS shows a tighter band relative to the average. At 4K Medium, the range from 42 to 57 FPS reveals that even the upper end of the frame delivery stays below the 60 FPS threshold.

Resolution scaling is consistent across presets. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings reduces the average from 188 to 121 FPS, a drop of 67 FPS. At High settings, the same resolution step reduces the average from 121 to 78 FPS, a drop of 43 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 4K at Low settings reduces the average from 121 to 65 FPS, a drop of 56 FPS. At High settings, the 1440p to 4K step reduces the average from 78 to 42 FPS, a drop of 36 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 92 FPS. This is the full visual experience at the highest quality tier, and the data shows it clears the threshold with a 32 FPS margin. There is no need to compromise on settings at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which averages 78 FPS. Ultra falls to 59 FPS, just below the threshold, so High is the ceiling for a smooth experience. The margin at High is 18 FPS, enough to absorb minor frame dips without crossing below 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the only preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, which averages 65 FPS. Medium averages 50 FPS, and High and Ultra fall further to 42 and 32 FPS respectively. The margin at Low is just 5 FPS, which means frame pacing could occasionally dip below the threshold during demanding scenes, but the average remains playable.

The verdict data confirms these selections. For 1080p, the playable settings list includes High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with Ultra as the best choice. For 1440p, the playable settings list includes High, Low, and Medium, with High as the best choice. For 4K, only Low is listed as playable, and it is also the best choice.

CPU and GPU Roles

The CPU in this configuration is the Intel Core i5-11400F, a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the Core 11th Gen series built on Rocket Lake architecture. Its benchmark profile shows a single-thread score of 868 in 3dmark and 2981 in Passmark single-thread testing. Multi-thread results include a Cinebench R23 score of 14340 and a Geekbench multicore score of 7737. The CPU sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 17177.

The GPU is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, a Turing architecture card with 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. It has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its Passmark G3D score is 18169, and its 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1651. The GPU sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20282.

The FPS scaling between resolutions reveals which component constrains performance. At 1080p Low, the average is 188 FPS, which is high enough that neither component is likely the sole bottleneck. By 1440p Low, the average drops to 121 FPS, a 36% reduction. By 4K Low, the average drops to 65 FPS, a 46% reduction from 1440p. This steep scaling with resolution points to the GPU as the primary limiter at higher resolutions, since pixel count grows faster than CPU load in most scenarios.

Preset scaling tells a similar story. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average from 188 to 92 FPS, a 51% drop. At 1440p, the same preset step reduces the average from 121 to 59 FPS, a 51% drop. At 4K, the Low to Ultra step reduces the average from 65 to 32 FPS, a 51% drop. The consistency of this percentage across resolutions suggests that the GPU is handling the increased graphical workload in a predictable manner, with CPU overhead not becoming a dominant factor even at high frame rates.

The 1080p results show the CPU can feed the GPU well enough to reach 188 FPS at Low settings. The single-thread performance of the i5-11400F, reflected in its 3dmark single-thread score of 868 and Passmark single-thread score of 2981, supports high frame rates in lightly threaded scenarios. However, at 4K, the GPU workload dominates, and the GPU's compute throughput, measured at 9.062 TFLOPS FP32, becomes the limiting factor.

The data indicates that for this game, the GPU role grows more significant as resolution increases. At 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to keep frame rates high across all presets. At 1440p, the balance shifts slightly toward the GPU, and at 4K, the GPU is clearly the constraint, with only the Low preset managing to stay above 60 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-11400F, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD EPYC 7H12 with a score of 17120, which is 0.3% lower than the i5-11400F's 17177. The Intel Core i5-12450H scores 17239, which is 0.4% higher. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 17278, which is 0.6% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 7 164U scores 17074, which is 0.6% lower. These deltas are all within 1%, meaning any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in this game.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals to the RTX 2070 SUPER include the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M with an average score of 20480, which is 1% lower than the RTX 2070 SUPER's 20282. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, which is 1.2% higher. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, which is 1.3% higher. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, which is 1.5% higher. Again, the deltas are small, so a system with any of these GPUs would produce frame rates very close to those recorded for the RTX 2070 SUPER.

The percentile rankings reinforce this picture. The CPU sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs. The combo itself ranks 2142 out of 3712 combinations in the game's database, placing it in the upper half of tested configurations.

The data suggests that swapping the CPU for any of its nearest rivals would not meaningfully change the measured FPS, since the differences are all under 1%. Similarly, swapping the GPU for any of its nearest rivals would shift results by only 1% to 1.5%. In practical terms, a system with the i5-11400F paired with any of these GPUs would land at roughly the same settings and resolutions for 60 FPS gameplay.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Minimum? The answer depends on the resolution. At 1920x1080, the answer is a clear yes. The data shows all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 92 FPS. This configuration can run the game at maximum settings with a comfortable margin.

At 2560x1440, the answer is yes with a caveat. High settings average 78 FPS, which clears the threshold, but Ultra falls to 59 FPS, just one frame below. Players targeting 60 FPS at 1440p should use High settings for the best visual quality that maintains playable frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the answer is a qualified yes. Only Low settings average above 60 FPS, at 65 FPS. Medium averages 50 FPS, High averages 42 FPS, and Ultra averages 32 FPS. Running at 4K requires a significant compromise in visual quality to stay playable.

The verdict data from the database lists 4K Low as the best playable setting with an average of 65 FPS, 1440p High as the best with 78 FPS, and 1080p Ultra as the best with 92 FPS. The playability threshold is 60 FPS, and the configuration meets it at every resolution, but only at specific presets.

Overall, this PC is well suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming in this title, with the ability to run high visual settings. At 4K, it can still run the game, but only at the lowest preset. The 92 FPS average at 1080p Ultra is the standout result, showing that the RTX 2070 SUPER and i5-11400F combination has ample power for this game at standard monitor resolutions.
