Minimum

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers exceptional performance in Minimum, a Third-Person Shooter released in 2014-06-25. Benchmark data shows this combination achieves well above the 60 FPS playable threshold at every tested resolution and preset, with the most demanding Ultra preset still producing an average of 62.1 FPS at 3840x2160. Across the full range of settings from Low to Ultra, the measured average frame rates scale from 62.1 to 354.2 FPS depending on resolution, indicating a system with substantial headroom for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers extremely high frame rates across all settings. The Low preset produces an average of 354.2 FPS, while Medium reaches 269.3 FPS, High hits 225.7 FPS, and Ultra maintains 171.5 FPS. All of these values represent a massive margin above the 60 FPS playable threshold, with even the most demanding Ultra preset running at nearly three times the minimum required performance. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 182.7 FPS drop, representing a 51.6% reduction in performance as graphical fidelity increases.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains extremely high but shows the expected impact of increased pixel count. Low settings produce 231.1 FPS, Medium delivers 176.2 FPS, High reaches 145.7 FPS, and Ultra sustains 111.4 FPS. The transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces frame rates by roughly 35% across all presets, with the Low preset dropping from 354.2 to 231.1 FPS and Ultra falling from 171.5 to 111.4 FPS. Even at this higher resolution, the Ultra preset remains 51.4 FPS above the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system continues to deliver playable performance at every setting, though the margins narrow considerably. Low settings achieve 120.2 FPS, Medium produces 92.3 FPS, High reaches 77.6 FPS, and Ultra maintains 62.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that falls below double the playable threshold, but it still clears 60 FPS by a 2.1 FPS margin. The data shows a consistent pattern where each resolution step reduces frame rates by approximately 35%, and each preset step from Low to Ultra reduces performance by roughly 20-25% at a given resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in benchmark performance include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, which scores 25284 compared to the i5-13400F's 25292 average, showing a 0% delta. The Intel Core 5 120 scores 25362, representing a -0.3% difference, while the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D also scores 25365 with a -0.3% delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25201, a 0.4% difference. These alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum, as the CPU's 77th percentile ranking among all processors indicates strong but not top-tier performance.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER's nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, which scores 54247 versus the SUPER's 54209 average, a -0.1% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828 (1.1% higher), while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698 (2.7% higher) and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757 (2.8% higher). These GPU alternatives would produce almost identical measured FPS in this game, with differences well within the margin of measurement error. Notably, the GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it higher than the CPU's 77th percentile, suggesting the graphics card provides a larger performance contribution in this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 171.5 FPS. This represents the maximum visual quality available in the game while maintaining a frame rate nearly three times the playable threshold. The system could theoretically push beyond Ultra, but no higher preset exists in the tested configurations.

For 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, delivering an average of 111.4 FPS. This preset provides 51.4 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, ensuring smooth gameplay even during demanding scenes. The margin is smaller than at 1080p but remains substantial for competitive or high-refresh-rate play.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the most demanding playable preset, with an average of 62.1 FPS. This is the tightest margin in the entire dataset, with only 2.1 FPS of headroom above the playable threshold. While technically playable, this configuration leaves minimal room for frame time spikes or demanding in-game sequences. Users seeking more consistent performance at 4K might prefer High settings at 77.6 FPS, which offers a 17.6% larger performance buffer.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum at all tested resolutions and presets, according to the verdictByResolution data. At 3840x2160, all four settings (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) are marked as playable, with Ultra achieving 62.1 FPS average. The 2560x1440 resolution also lists all settings as playable, with Ultra reaching 111.4 FPS. At 1920x1080, every preset is playable, with Ultra producing 171.5 FPS.

The system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every configuration, with the only close call being 4K Ultra at 62.1 FPS. For users who prioritize frame rate stability over maximum visual fidelity, the 4K High preset at 77.6 FPS offers a more comfortable margin. At 1440p and below, the system provides exceptional performance that would support high-refresh-rate monitors, with even the most demanding Ultra preset exceeding 111 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals distinct scaling patterns that indicate which component matters more at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high (171.5-354.2 FPS), suggesting the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as the CPU's 77th percentile ranking among all processors still delivers enough throughput for these frame rates. The CPU's 3dmark single-thread score of 960 and 2-thread score of 1880 indicate it can handle the game's single-threaded workloads effectively.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, frame rates drop by approximately 35% across all presets, from 354.2 to 231.1 FPS at Low and 171.5 to 111.4 FPS at Ultra. This scaling aligns with the increased pixel count and rendering workload, confirming the GPU's dominant role. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 736.3 GB/s memory bandwidth become the limiting factors at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes even more pronounced, with frame rates falling to 62.1-120.2 FPS depending on preset. The 4K resolution demands 4 times the pixel throughput of 1080p, and the GPU's 285.6 GPixel/s pixel rate and 816.0 GTexel/s texture rate determine the upper bounds. The CPU's performance remains consistent across resolutions, as its benchmark scores (25,292 average) do not change, but the GPU's workload increases substantially. This pattern indicates that for Minimum, the RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary performance driver at all resolutions, with the i5-13400F providing sufficient headroom to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at 1080p's highest frame rates.
