Minimum

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is a powerful combination for running Minimum, a 2014 third-person shooter. Benchmark data shows this combo delivers high frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings, with the data indicating it is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, while still managing respectable performance at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. All figures represent average FPS, as minimum and maximum values were not recorded in the dataset.

At 1920x1080, the combo is exceptionally fast. Low settings produce an average of 257 FPS, which is a massive margin over the 60 FPS playability threshold. Medium settings yield 197.7 FPS, while High settings deliver 164.7 FPS. Even Ultra settings maintain a strong 125.5 FPS average, meaning the GPU and CPU are never the bottleneck at this resolution. The scaling from Ultra to Low is roughly a 2x increase in frame rate, from 125.5 to 257 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains very high. Low settings average 165.9 FPS, which is still well above the threshold. Medium settings produce 125.3 FPS, and High settings deliver 106.7 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p maintain an 81.1 FPS average, which comfortably clears the 60 FPS mark. The drop from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra is about 35%, from 125.5 to 81.1 FPS, indicating that the RX 6800 XT's 16 GB memory buffer and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the higher pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. Ultra settings drop to 46.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. High settings average 59.3 FPS, just barely missing the mark. Medium settings return 69.6 FPS, which is playable, and Low settings achieve 87.1 FPS. The data shows a clear delineation at 4K: the most demanding presets are too heavy, while Medium and Low provide smooth gameplay.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data for the CPU and GPU provides context for how other hardware would behave in this system.

For the CPU, the Intel Core i5-14400F has an average benchmark score of 32279, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all tested CPUs. Its closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, which scores 32233, a delta of just 0.1% — effectively identical performance. The Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32226, also a 0.2% delta, meaning it would deliver nearly the same frame rates. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS scores 32354, which is -0.2% relative to the i5-14400F, again a negligible difference. The Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32121, a 0.5% delta, slightly behind. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce the same measured FPS in Minimum, as the game is unlikely to be CPU-bound given the high GPU scores.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT has an average benchmark score of 48477, placing it in the 85th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile, which scores 47743, a 1.5% delta — meaning the RX 6800 XT is about 1.5% faster. The Intel Arc A550M scores 49737, a -2.5% delta, indicating it is 2.5% faster than the RX 6800 XT. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti scores 49957, a -3% delta, also about 3% faster. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 scores 50001, a -3% delta, again slightly faster. In a game like Minimum, these small deltas would translate to a few FPS difference at most, so a system with any of these rival GPUs would behave very similarly — all would clear 60 FPS at 1080p and 1440p, and all would struggle with Ultra settings at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the Intel Core i5-14400F and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT ranks 1217 out of 3712 tested combinations in Minimum. This places it in the top third of all systems tested, roughly the 67th percentile. The rank reflects the overall capability of the pair; the data shows that most of the 2495 combos ranked above it likely feature higher-end GPUs, such as the RTX 5070 Ti or RX Vega 64, which have slightly higher benchmark scores. However, the rank is not indicative of poor performance — it simply shows that there are faster combinations available. For this specific game, the rank is more than sufficient, as the measured FPS data demonstrates that the combo exceeds the 60 FPS threshold in 10 out of 12 tested scenarios, with only 4K Ultra and 4K High falling short.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Minimum? Yes, definitively. The verdictByResolution data provides clear guidance.

At 1920x1080, all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, with average FPS ranging from 125.5 to 257. The best setting is Ultra, which maintains an average of 125.5 FPS.

At 2560x1440, all four settings are also playable. The best setting is Ultra, which delivers an average of 81.1 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable. Low averages 87.1 FPS, while Medium averages 69.6 FPS. High and Ultra fall below the threshold, with 59.3 and 46.6 FPS respectively. The best playable setting at 4K is Medium, with an average of 69.6 FPS.

The data indicates this combo is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p and 1440p, and remains viable for 4K gaming if you are willing to dial back settings to Medium or Low.

FAQ

*Q: Is the Intel Core i5-14400F + AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT combo capable of 60 FPS at 4K in Minimum?*

A: Yes, but only at Medium or Low settings. The measured data shows Medium settings average 69.6 FPS and Low settings average 87.1 FPS at 3840x2160. High settings fall just short at 59.3 FPS, and Ultra is not playable at 46.6 FPS.

Q: What is the best setting for 1440p gaming with this combo?

A: Ultra is the best setting at 2560x1440, as it delivers an average of 81.1 FPS. All other settings (High, Medium, Low) are also above 60 FPS, with averages of 106.7, 125.3, and 165.9 FPS respectively.

Q: How does the RX 6800 XT compare to its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile?

A: The RX 6800 XT has an average benchmark score of 48477, which is 1.5% higher than the RTX A1000 Mobile's score of 47743. This means the RX 6800 XT is slightly faster, but in Minimum the difference would be marginal, likely a few FPS.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU in this game?

A: The data does not indicate a bottleneck. The i5-14400F scores 32279 on average, placing it in the 83rd percentile, and its nearest rival, the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, is within 0.1% performance. Given the high FPS numbers, especially at 1080p where the combo hits 257 FPS on Low, the CPU is not limiting the GPU.

*Q: What is the combo's rank among all tested systems for Minimum?*

A: The combo ranks 1217 out of 3712 tested combinations. This places it in the top third of all systems, which is consistent with its strong measured performance.

Q: Can the combo handle 1080p Ultra with a high refresh rate monitor?

A: Yes. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo averages 125.5 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold and is sufficient for a 120Hz or 144Hz monitor, though it would not fully saturate a 240Hz display.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is as follows:

• 1920x1080: Ultra settings, averaging 125.5 FPS. This is the highest preset available and provides a smooth experience for high-refresh-rate monitors.
• 2560x1440: Ultra settings, averaging 81.1 FPS. This is the maximum quality preset, and it still clears the 60 FPS threshold with a comfortable margin.
• 3840x2160: Medium settings, averaging 69.6 FPS. Medium is the highest preset that maintains 60 FPS at 4K. High settings fall just short at 59.3 FPS, so Medium is the recommended choice for a consistent frame rate.
