Minimum

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers playable frame rates in Minimum across all tested resolutions, with the best settings varying by resolution. Measured data shows 1080p Ultra at 107.8 FPS, 1440p Ultra at 68.9 FPS, and 4K Medium at 60.1 FPS, all above the 60 FPS threshold. The combination of a strong 10-core CPU and a 12 GB RDNA 2 GPU proves capable of handling this third-person shooter, though the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS average is the target for each resolution. The data shows the following:

• 1920x1080: Ultra settings run at 107.8 FPS average. This is the highest preset tested, and it clears the 60 FPS bar by a wide margin. Lower presets (High 136.7, Medium 162.6, Low 217) are all faster, but Ultra is the most visually demanding option that remains fully playable.
• 2560x1440: Ultra settings average 68.9 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. High (89.8), Medium (107.5), and Low (138.1) also exceed 60 FPS, but Ultra is the best choice for image quality without sacrificing smoothness.
• 3840x2160: Medium settings average 60.1 FPS, just barely clearing the threshold. High drops to 49.3 FPS and Ultra to 34.7 FPS, so Medium is the most demanding preset that stays playable. Low runs at 72.1 FPS, but Medium offers better visuals while still hitting the target.

In summary, the combo can run Minimum at Ultra on 1080p and 1440p, and at Medium on 4K, all with average frame rates at or above 60 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component dominates. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra cuts average FPS from 217 to 107.8, a 50% reduction. At 1440p, the same preset change drops FPS from 138.1 to 68.9, also about 50%. At 4K, Low to Ultra goes from 72.1 to 34.7, a 52% reduction. This consistent ~50% impact from settings indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of frame rate changes when adjusting quality.

Resolution scaling tells a similar story. From 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra, FPS falls from 107.8 to 68.9, a 36% drop. From 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra, it falls to 34.7, a 50% drop. The larger drop at 4K suggests the GPU is increasingly stressed as pixel count rises. The CPU, with its high single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3055) and multi-core capability (21645), is unlikely to bottleneck at any resolution tested. The GPU’s memory bandwidth of 432 GB/s and 12 GB VRAM are sufficient for the game’s demands, but the raw compute power (13.31 TFLOPS FP32) becomes the limiting factor at 4K.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 32279 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, and it sits within 0.5% of the Intel Core i7-12800H. The GPU’s average score of 26011 is in the 71st percentile, and it is within 1.1% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile. This indicates the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU when compared to their respective pools, reinforcing that the GPU is the more likely constraint in demanding scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average frame rates for this combo in Minimum. No minimum or maximum frame data was recorded, so only averages are available.

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS |

|------------|----------|-------------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 49.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 72.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 60.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 34.7 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 89.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 138.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 107.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 68.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 136.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 217 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 162.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 107.8 |

The data shows a clear pattern: at 1080p, even Ultra stays well above 100 FPS, while at 4K, only Low and Medium exceed 60 FPS. The 1440p results sit in between, with all presets playable.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Minimum at 4K?

A: Yes, at Medium settings the average FPS is 60.1, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold. High drops to 49.3 and Ultra to 34.7, so Medium is the highest playable preset at 4K.

Q: What is the best setting for 1440p?

A: Ultra settings average 68.9 FPS, making it the most demanding preset that still clears 60 FPS. All other presets (High, Medium, Low) also exceed 60 FPS, but Ultra offers the best visual quality.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game?

A: The GPU is the primary factor. The consistent ~50% FPS drop when moving from Low to Ultra at each resolution indicates GPU-bound performance. The CPU’s high single-thread and multi-thread scores (Cinebench R23 3055 and 21645) suggest it is not a bottleneck, especially at 4K where the GPU is clearly the limit.

Q: How does this combo rank among tested systems?

A: It ranks 1643 out of 3712 tested combos, placing it in the upper half of all configurations. The CPU is in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 71st percentile, so the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU.

Q: What is the launch MSRP of these components?

A: The CPU has a launch MSRP of $196, and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 549 USD.

Q: Are there any settings that fail to reach 60 FPS?

A: Yes, at 4K, High (49.3 FPS) and Ultra (34.7 FPS) both fall below 60 FPS. At 1080p and 1440p, every preset tested exceeds 60 FPS.

The Verdict

This PC can run Minimum. The verdict by resolution is clear:

• 3840x2160: Playable settings are Low and Medium, with Medium being the best at 60.1 FPS average. High and Ultra are not playable.
• 2560x1440: All settings are playable, with Ultra as the best at 68.9 FPS average.
• 1920x1080: All settings are playable, with Ultra as the best at 107.8 FPS average.

The 60 FPS threshold is met or exceeded at every resolution when using the recommended best settings. For 4K, users must accept Medium quality; for 1440p and 1080p, Ultra is fully playable. The data confirms that this combination of Intel Core i5-14400F and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a solid match for Minimum, offering smooth performance across the board.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 3712 tested combos, this pairing ranks 1643rd, meaning it outperforms roughly 56% of all configurations tested. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 32279 places it in the 83rd percentile, while the GPU’s 26011 score is in the 71st percentile. The CPU is within 0.5% of the Intel Core i7-12800H and 0.2% of the Intel Core i9-11900, while the GPU is within 1.1% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile. This suggests the CPU is a stronger component relative to its peers than the GPU, but the overall combo still lands in the upper half of tested systems. For a game like Minimum, which is not extremely demanding by modern standards, this rank is more than sufficient to deliver a smooth experience at high settings.
