Minimum

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT clears Minimum comfortably at every resolution tested, and the data shows it doing so with headroom to spare. This third-person shooter, released in mid-2014, simply does not stress modern hardware the way contemporary titles do, and the measured results confirm it: even at 3840x2160 on the High preset, the combo averages 68.8 FPS, above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1920x1080 the pairing pushes 147.8 FPS on Ultra. The only configuration that misses the mark anywhere is 4K Ultra, which lands at 51.3 FPS — a shortcoming with an obvious remedy: drop one preset to High and the average climbs back over 60.

Similar Performance Alternatives

On the CPU side, the Core i5-12400F sits in the 73rd percentile of all tested processors with an average benchmark score of 19039. Its nearest rivals are strikingly close. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS averages 19047 — a difference of effectively zero percent — meaning that laptop-class chip would deliver near-identical throughput in this pairing. The Intel Core 3 201E averages 19056, deltaPct -0.1, and the Intel Core i5-1335U averages 18982 at 0.3 percent off. The AMD EPYC 7773X, a server part, lands at 18979, also 0.3 percent away. Anyone running one of these processors instead of the i5-12400F should expect essentially the same behavior in Minimum, since the game is GPU-bound at higher settings.

For the graphics card, the RX 7900 XT carries an average benchmark score of 13745 and sits in the 55th percentile of all tested GPUs. The nearest rival list is more eclectic here: the AMD Radeon 660M (an integrated solution) averages 13812 at -0.5 percent, the NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile averages 13821 at -0.5 percent, and the AMD Radeon RX 570X averages 13871 at -0.9 percent. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT sits at 13543, 1.5 percent behind. Based on these aggregate scores, systems built around any of these GPUs would land within a tight band of this combo's overall benchmark positioning, though raw silicon differences — the RX 7900 XT brings 5376 shading units, 20 GB of GDDR6 on a 320-bit bus, and 800 GB/s of memory bandwidth — mean in-game results can diverge from aggregate scores in demanding scenarios. For a 2014 title like Minimum, the aggregate proximity is a reasonable proxy.

FAQ

Q: Can the i5-12400F + RX 7900 XT run Minimum at 60 FPS?

A: Yes, at nearly every tested configuration. The only miss is 3840x2160 Ultra at 51.3 FPS average. Every other resolution and preset combination clears 60 FPS, ranging from 68.8 FPS at 4K High up to 298.5 FPS at 1080p Low.

Q: What is the best-looking setting this combo can hold at 4K?

A: High, at 68.8 FPS average. That is the highest preset at 3840x2160 that stays at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold; 4K Ultra drops to 51.3 FPS.

Q: How does this combo rank against other tested pairings in Minimum?

A: It ranks 735 out of 3712 tested combinations, placing it in the upper portion of the database for this game.

Q: Is the CPU a limiting factor here?

A: Unlikely. The i5-12400F posts 12380 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1680 single-core, sits in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, and Minimum's demands are modest by modern standards. The measured frame rates scale strongly with resolution and preset, which points to GPU-side scaling rather than a processor bottleneck.

Q: How high do frame rates go at 1080p?

A: 298.5 FPS average on Low at 1920x1080, with 231 FPS on Medium and 193.8 FPS on High — well beyond the 60 FPS threshold at every preset.

Q: What DirectX support does the GPU offer for this game?

A: The RX 7900 XT supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), along with Vulkan 1.4 and OpenGL 4.6, so it covers the API requirements of a 2014-era title with room to spare.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All figures below are measured average frame rates from the database; minimum and maximum values were not recorded for this game.

At 1920x1080, the combo is untouchable. Low averages 298.5 FPS, Medium 231 FPS, High 193.8 FPS, and Ultra 147.8 FPS. Even the most demanding preset nearly delivers two and a half times the playable threshold, and the gentle drop-off between presets — roughly 50 FPS lost per step — indicates the game engine scales predictably with settings rather than hitting a cliff.

At 2560x1440, frame rates compress but stay comfortably playable across the board: 193.5 FPS on Low, 147.1 FPS on Medium, 124.2 FPS on High, and 92.8 FPS on Ultra. The Ultra figure is the key data point — it clears 60 FPS by a margin of more than 30 frames, meaning 1440p Ultra is a fully viable configuration without any compromise.

At 3840x2160, the pattern finally shows strain: 102.5 FPS on Low, 81 FPS on Medium, 68.8 FPS on High, and 51.3 FPS on Ultra. The High result sits just under 9 frames above the threshold, which is a pass but a narrow one for a demanding third-person shooter where frame-time consistency matters. Ultra at 4K is the sole sub-60 result in the entire dataset.

How This Combo Ranks

This pairing ranks 735 out of 3712 tested combinations in Minimum. That placement puts it well above the median — fewer than a quarter of tested combos rank higher — and the measured numbers explain why. A configuration that holds 60 FPS or better at 11 of 12 tested resolution-and-preset combinations is genuinely strong for this game. Given Minimum's 2014 release date, modern mid-range and higher hardware tends to trivialize it, but this combo does so while still demonstrating wide dynamic range, spanning from 51.3 FPS at the most punishing setting to 298.5 FPS at the least. The rank reflects that combination of high absolute performance and broad consistency across the settings matrix.

The Verdict

Yes — this PC runs Minimum, decisively. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low through Ultra clears 60 FPS, with Ultra at 147.8 FPS. At 2560x1440, every preset again clears the threshold, topped by Ultra at 92.8 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low (102.5 FPS), Medium (81 FPS), and High (68.8 FPS) all clear 60 FPS; only Ultra falls short at 51.3 FPS. The verdict by resolution is straightforward: 1080p and 1440p are fully playable at maximum settings, and 4K is playable at everything up to High. For a game released in 2014, that is the expected outcome for hardware of this class, and the data confirms it without ambiguity.

Best Settings per Resolution

• 1920x1080 — Ultra: 147.8 FPS average. The most demanding preset stays well over double the 60 FPS threshold; there is no reason to reduce settings at this resolution.
• 2560x1440 — Ultra: 92.8 FPS average. Maximum settings remain the correct choice, holding a margin of more than 30 frames above the threshold.
• 3840x2160 — High: 68.8 FPS average. High is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Stepping up to Ultra drops the average to 51.3 FPS, below the threshold; stepping down to Medium raises it to 81 FPS if additional headroom is wanted.

In every case the RX 7900 XT's 20 GB of GDDR6 and 800 GB/s of memory bandwidth give the combo plenty of buffer at higher resolutions, and the i5-12400F's 12 threads keep pace without issue.
