Minimum

The Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D combination delivers extreme performance in Minimum, a 2014 Third-Person Shooter. Benchmark data confirms this pairing is vastly overqualified for the title, with measured FPS figures exceeding 60 at every tested setting and resolution. The data shows the RTX 5090 D’s raw power dominates, while the i5-13400F provides ample CPU throughput for a game of this era.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces frame rates that are almost absurdly high. On Low settings, the average FPS is 388. High settings drop this to 276, while Medium yields 329 FPS with a minimum of 280 and a maximum of 379. Even Ultra settings, the most demanding preset, maintains a 210 FPS average. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is heavily GPU-bound only in the sense that the GPU is delivering hundreds of frames per second; the CPU is never a limiting factor.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains exceptional. Low settings produce a 277 FPS average. High settings reduce this to 178 FPS. Medium settings deliver 212 FPS on average, with a minimum of 180 and a maximum of 244. Ultra settings still hold a strong 136 FPS average. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable reduction of roughly 25-30% in average FPS across presets, which aligns with the increased pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 5090 D shows its muscle. Low settings average 149 FPS. High settings drop to 96 FPS. Medium settings produce 114 FPS average, with a minimum of 97 and a maximum of 131. Ultra settings, the heaviest load, still yield a 73 FPS average. The drop from 1440p to 4K is steep — around 45-50% — but the absolute numbers are still far above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The only preset with min/max data, Medium at 4K, shows a 97 FPS minimum, confirming that even the lowest dips stay well clear of stutter territory.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, are extremely close in performance. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS has an average score of 25284, which is a 0% delta from the Core i5-13400F’s average of 25292. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D both score 25362 and 25365 respectively, each showing a -0.3% delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H trails slightly with a score of 25201, a 0.4% delta in the opposite direction. For Minimum, any of these CPUs would deliver near-identical frame pacing and CPU-bound performance, making them all equally suitable for this game.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5090 D’s nearest rivals show a wider spread. The AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT scores 76904, which is 1.1% higher than the RTX 5090 D’s average of 77712 — a negligible difference. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78940, putting it 1.6% ahead. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB and 16 GB versions score 79396 and 79605, respectively, representing 2.1% and 2.4% leads. In practical terms, these deltas are within noise for a game like Minimum, where the GPU is delivering 73-388 FPS. A user with any of these alternative GPUs would see essentially identical playability, though the RTX 5090 D’s 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are far beyond what this title requires.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Core i5-13400F and RTX 5090 D ranks 40th out of 3712 tested combinations in Minimum. This places it in the 98.9th percentile of all combos in the database. The data indicates that this pairing is not merely playable; it is among the fastest configurations ever tested for this game. The rank is driven almost entirely by the GPU’s colossal performance, as the CPU’s 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs is comparatively modest, but still more than sufficient for a 2014 title. The top 39 combos likely feature even higher-end CPUs, but the FPS data suggests that for Minimum, the RTX 5090 D is the dominant component and the i5-13400F does not bottleneck it at any resolution or setting.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum flawlessly. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080, all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are listed as playable. The best settings at each resolution are Ultra, with average FPS of 73 at 4K, 136 at 1440p, and 210 at 1080p. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and this combo clears it by a massive margin even at the most demanding 4K Ultra preset. The data shows a 73 FPS average at 4K Ultra, which means the system holds 60 FPS with headroom. If you own a 4K 120Hz or 144Hz display, you can run High settings at 4K for a 96 FPS average, or Medium for 114 FPS. At 1440p, High settings give 178 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh monitors. At 1080p, you are looking at 276 FPS on High, which exceeds even the fastest 240Hz panels. In short, this combo does not just run the game; it obliterates it.

FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 4K Ultra settings?

A: The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 on Ultra settings is 73.

Q: Is the RTX 5090 D overkill for a 2014 game like Minimum?

A: Benchmark results indicate the GPU delivers 96 FPS at 4K High and 149 FPS at 4K Low, while the game’s playable threshold is 60 FPS. The data shows the card has immense headroom, making it far more powerful than needed.

Q: Does the Core i5-13400F bottleneck the RTX 5090 D in this game?

A: The data shows the CPU ranks in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, and the combo ranks 40th out of 3712. In Minimum, the FPS scales consistently across resolutions, indicating the CPU is not a limiting factor.

Q: What is the lowest FPS recorded for this combo?

A: The only min/max data available is for Medium settings. The minimum FPS is 97 at 4K, 180 at 1440p, and 280 at 1080p. All other presets only list average FPS, which never drops below 73.

Q: How does the RTX 5090 D compare to its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT?

A: The Radeon RX 6650M XT has an average benchmark score of 76904, which is 1.1% higher than the RTX 5090 D’s average of 77712. In Minimum, this difference would translate to a few FPS at most, making them effectively equivalent for this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with a measured average of 210 FPS. The data does not list a min FPS for this preset, but the average is so far above the threshold that dips are unlikely to cause issues.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best choice, yielding a 136 FPS average. This is comfortable for 144Hz displays. If you want more headroom, High settings give 178 FPS, but Ultra is still well above the 60 FPS floor.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings produce a 73 FPS average, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by 13 FPS. This is the recommended preset for 4K. For users with 4K 120Hz displays, High settings at 96 FPS or Medium at 114 FPS are better options, but Ultra remains the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. The verdict data confirms Ultra is the best setting at all three resolutions, with 73, 136, and 210 FPS averages respectively.
