Minimum

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a capable combination for Minimum, a Third-Person Shooter released in 2014. Benchmark data indicates that this setup delivers smooth gameplay across the most common resolutions, with the primary limitation appearing only at 4K with higher presets. The CPU's six Performance cores and 12 threads, clocked up to 4.40 GHz, provide a solid foundation, while the GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth handle the game's rendering demands effectively.

Best Settings per Resolution

The measured FPS data reveals a clear hierarchy of playable settings for each resolution, based on a 60 FPS playable threshold.

• 1920x1080 (1080p): The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 106.4 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and the hardware has ample headroom, as even the demanding Ultra preset is well above the playable threshold. Lower presets like High (135.3 FPS), Medium (161.7 FPS), and Low (214.9 FPS) all exceed 60 FPS, but Ultra is the optimal choice for maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

• 2560x1440 (1440p): The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 69.6 FPS. This is a significant result, as it means the combo can run the game at maximum settings on a 1440p monitor. The data shows a clear progression from High (87.9 FPS) to Medium (108.1 FPS) to Low (136.3 FPS), but Ultra remains the best pick for those prioritizing image quality, as it is the only preset that offers the full visual experience while still clearing the 60 FPS bar.

• 3840x2160 (4K): The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, which achieves an average of 77 FPS. This is the only playable preset at this resolution. The High preset falls below the threshold at 46.4 FPS, and Medium (58.7 FPS) also misses the 60 FPS target. Ultra is not viable, with an average of 33.8 FPS. For 4K, users must compromise on visual quality to achieve smooth gameplay.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that this PC can run Minimum effectively, but the experience varies significantly by resolution.

For 1920x1080, the verdict is an unqualified yes. The system achieves an average of 106.4 FPS at Ultra settings, which is far above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the ideal resolution for this combo, providing a high-quality, high-frame-rate experience.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is also positive. The system runs Ultra settings at an average of 69.6 FPS, clearing the 60 FPS bar. This makes 1440p a very viable option for gamers who own a QHD monitor, offering a substantial upgrade in visual clarity over 1080p while maintaining smooth performance.

For 3840x2160, the verdict is conditional. The system can run the game, but only at Low settings, which average 77 FPS. The High and Medium presets both fall below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra is not playable. This resolution is only recommended if the user is willing to significantly reduce visual quality for the sake of resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table details the exact average FPS measured for each resolution and settings combination.

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 161.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 214.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 69.6 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 87.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 108.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 136.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 33.8 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 46.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 58.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 77.0 |

The data shows a predictable scaling of performance across resolutions and settings. The jump from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by roughly 30-40%, while the jump to 4K is even more demanding. Notably, at 4K, the performance drop from Low to Medium is only 19.6 FPS (from 77 to 58.7), but the drop from Medium to High is 12.3 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 12.6 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset is particularly demanding. At 1440p and 1080p, the scaling is more linear, with each step up in settings costing a proportional amount of performance.
