Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Minimum shows a combination that is overwhelmingly powerful for this 2014 third-person shooter. Across every resolution and preset tested, the Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers frame rates that far exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold. The pattern is consistent: higher resolutions reduce performance, but even the most demanding settings at 4K remain well above the target.

At 1920x1080, the results are exceptionally high. The Low preset averages 318 FPS, which is the single fastest measured result in the entire dataset. Medium comes in at 288 FPS on average, with a minimum of 245 FPS and a maximum of 332 FPS. High drops slightly to 271 FPS, while Ultra still holds an average of 210 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is roughly 108 FPS, indicating that the GPU has ample headroom even when settings are maxed out. The minimum recorded at Medium, 245 FPS, is more than four times the playable threshold, so there is no risk of dropping below 60 FPS under any tested condition at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains dramatic. Low averages 275 FPS, Medium averages 212 FPS with a minimum of 180 FPS and a maximum of 244 FPS. High averages 178 FPS, and Ultra averages 136 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra here is 139 FPS, a slightly larger gap than at 1080p, which suggests the resolution increase amplifies the cost of higher settings. Even the weakest recorded point, the 180 FPS minimum at Medium, sits triple the 60 FPS target. The Ultra preset at 1440p still delivers more than double the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the heaviest load in the dataset, the combination still dominates. Low averages 149 FPS. Medium averages 114 FPS, with a minimum of 97 FPS and a maximum of 131 FPS. High averages 96 FPS, and Ultra averages 73 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest average FPS in the entire measured set, but it remains 13 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium minimum of 97 FPS is the only recorded sub-100 FPS minimum across all resolutions, yet it is still comfortably playable. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra shows a drop from 210 FPS to 73 FPS, a reduction of 137 FPS, but the absolute performance remains sufficient for smooth gameplay.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is Ultra in every case. The database verdict confirms this for all three resolutions.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 210 FPS. This is the highest possible settings level in the game, and it clears the playable threshold by 150 FPS. There is no reason to reduce settings at this resolution based on performance constraints.

At 2560x1440, Ultra again is the best choice, averaging 136 FPS. This is 76 FPS above the threshold, so the full visual quality of the game can be enabled without concern. The gap between Ultra and the next lower preset, High at 178 FPS, is 42 FPS, but both are far beyond what is needed for smooth play.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the recommended preset with an average of 73 FPS. This is the closest any tested configuration comes to the 60 FPS line, but it still clears it by 13 FPS. The recorded data shows that even at 4K, the maximum settings are playable. If a user wanted additional headroom, the Medium preset at 114 FPS would provide a larger safety margin, but the verdict data designates Ultra as the best settings because it meets the threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D combination ranks 94th out of 3712 tested combos in Minimum. This places it in the top 2.5 percent of all configurations in the database for this game. The percentile standings for the individual components support this high placement: the CPU sits in the 71st percentile among all tested CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 92nd percentile among all tested GPUs.

The rank of 94 out of 3712 means that 3618 tested combinations are slower in this game, and only 93 are faster. Given that the game is from 2014, the overwhelming majority of modern and older hardware will struggle to match this setup. The GPU is the dominant factor in this pairing, as its 92nd percentile ranking is well above the CPU's 71st percentile, but the CPU still provides enough throughput to avoid bottlenecking at the measured frame rates. The result is a combination that is not merely playable at maximum settings, but one that delivers frame rates far beyond what most displays can even show at 1080p and 1440p.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database, several CPUs and GPUs would behave similarly to this pairing.

For the CPU, the Intel Core i5-11400F has an average benchmark score of 17177. The closest rival is the AMD EPYC 7H12 with an average score of 17120, a delta of 0.3 percent, meaning the EPYC is essentially identical in performance. The Intel Core i5-12450H scores 17239, which is 0.4 percent higher than the i5-11400F, again a negligible difference. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 17278, 0.6 percent higher, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U scores 17074, 0.6 percent lower. Any of these CPUs would deliver nearly the same frame rates in Minimum when paired with the same GPU, since the game is not likely to be CPU-bound at the measured performance levels.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D has an average benchmark score of 77712. The AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT scores 76904, which is 1.1 percent lower, making it the closest competitor. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78940, 1.6 percent higher. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB scores 79396, 2.1 percent higher, and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB scores 79605, 2.4 percent higher. These deltas are all within a few percentage points, so swapping the RTX 5090 D for any of these GPUs would produce very similar frame rates in Minimum. The game's age and relatively low graphical demands mean that even these comparable GPUs would likely hit the same 60 FPS threshold at all tested settings.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: this PC can run Minimum, and it can run it at maximum settings at every resolution tested. The verdict by resolution confirms that all four presets (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) are playable at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 210 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 136 FPS. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 73 FPS. In every case, the average FPS at the best settings exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold. The lowest margin is at 4K Ultra, which still clears the threshold by 13 FPS.

The combination ranks 94th out of 3712 tested configurations, placing it among the top performers for this title. The GPU's 92nd percentile standing is the primary driver of this result, while the CPU's 71st percentile ranking is sufficient to support the high frame rates observed. For a game released in 2014, this hardware is dramatically overqualified, but the measured data shows that users can enable every visual option without sacrificing smoothness. The only scenario where this system might struggle is hypothetical settings beyond the Ultra preset, which were not part of the recorded data. Within the tested scope, there are no weak points.
