Minecraft: Java Edition

Benchmark results for Minecraft: Java Edition with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 show a very fast pairing. The combo ranks 344th out of 1727 tested combos, with the CPU at the 83rd percentile and the GPU at the 83rd percentile in their respective benchmark pools. Measured average frame rates span from 90.9 FPS at 4K Ultra to 637.7 FPS at 1080p Low.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution has a strong effect on this game. At Low settings, average FPS moves from 637.7 at 1080p to 436.1 at 1440p and then to 229.8 at 4K. Medium follows with 542 at 1080p, 341.9 at 1440p, and 179.3 at 4K. High produces 430.8 at 1080p, 273 at 1440p, and 141.7 at 4K. Ultra starts at 272 at 1080p, drops to 169 at 1440p, and falls to 90.9 at 4K.

The pattern is consistent across every preset: 1080p is fastest, 1440p is slower, and 4K is slowest. The Low preset shows the largest absolute movement, going from 637.7 at 1080p to 229.8 at 4K. This indicates that when the GPU is given light work, the CPU can feed very high frame rates, and resolution then becomes the factor that brings the result down. At 4K Ultra, the opposite happens: the GPU is loaded heavily enough that the result drops to 90.9, the only measured row in double digits.

The scaling between 1440p and 4K is also substantial. High moves from 273 at 1440p to 141.7 at 4K, while Ultra moves from 169 to 90.9. The data shows that Minecraft: Java Edition responds strongly to pixel count even with a high-end GPU, and the Ultra preset adds extra cost on top of that resolution load.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination ranks 344th out of 1727 tested combos. That places it above the median of the tested set, and the component-level benchmark scores support that position. The Ryzen 7 5700X has an aggregate benchmark score of 26214, while the RTX 5070 has an aggregate GPU score of 41687.

The CPU is very close to its nearest rivals in synthetic score. It is 0.1% above the Intel Core i9-11900KF, which scores 26196, and 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT, which scores 26161. It is 0.2% below the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U at 26262 and 0.2% below the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X at 26272. Those differences are small, so the 5700X is not the component separating this combo from its peers.

The GPU also sits close to its nearest rivals. The RTX 5070 is 0.6% above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which scores 41441, and 0.2% above the AMD Radeon Pro 5300, which scores 41610. It trails the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 0.5% and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 0.7%. The aggregate scores are all within a narrow band, which means the measured FPS advantage in Minecraft comes from the combination working well together rather than from one component dominating its class.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 uses 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, with 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 2325 MHz and its boost clock is 2512 MHz. Memory is listed at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective. The GPU has 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs. Its pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 482.3 GTexel/s, with 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

These specifications align with the measured game results. At 4K, the GPU produces 229.8 FPS on Low, 179.3 on Medium, 141.7 on High, and 90.9 on Ultra. The preset ordering is exact, with Ultra costing more FPS than any other preset. The largest measured step at 4K is between High and Ultra, from 141.7 down to 90.9, which shows the Ultra preset creates a heavy render load.

The 12 GB frame buffer does not appear to be a wall in the measured data. Even 4K Ultra remains above 90 FPS, and 4K High stays at 141.7. The memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s and the 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate provide enough throughput to keep Minecraft well ahead of the lowest measured result. At 1080p, the GPU is so fast that even Ultra reaches 272 FPS, while Low, Medium, and High are all above 430 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table shows every measured average frame rate in the dataset.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|---|---:|

| 3840x2160 | High | 141.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 229.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 179.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 90.9 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 273 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 436.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 341.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 169 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 430.8 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 637.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 542 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 272 |

The highest measured average is 637.7 at 1080p Low. The lowest is 90.9 at 4K Ultra. At every resolution, Low is faster than Medium, Medium is faster than High, and High is faster than Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra is largest at 1080p and narrows as resolution rises, but the ordering never changes. The dataset does not include minimum or maximum FPS, so these averages are the complete measured picture.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700X brings 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It uses 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus and 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and it has a 65 W TDP.

Its synthetic scores show a balanced part. The CPU scores 22620 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3193 in single-core. Passmark reports 26612 multi-thread and 3385 single-thread. Geekbench shows 9720 multi-core and 2148 single-core. The 3DMark single-thread score is 921. These numbers indicate strong per-thread performance, which matters for a game that can push frame rates into the hundreds.

In the measured Minecraft results, the CPU effect is most visible at Low settings. The 1080p Low result of 637.7 is the highest row in the dataset, and 1440p Low is also at 436.1. Those rows come at exactly the settings where GPU load is light, allowing the CPU to show its ceiling. At 4K Ultra, the result falls to 90.9, but that is not a CPU limitation; the same CPU with the same game reaches 229.8 at 4K Low. The CPU’s aggregate score of 26214 also places it within 0.2% of its nearest rivals, so it is delivering a consistent level of performance relative to the broader CPU field.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows make High the most balanced preset. At 1080p High, the combo produces 430.8 FPS. At 1440p High, it produces 273 FPS. At 4K High, it produces 141.7 FPS. Every High result is well above the same resolution’s Ultra result, so High delivers a large frame rate advantage without dropping to the lowest FPS tier.

Ultra is the hardest preset to justify from the data. It produces 272 at 1080p, 169 at 1440p, and 90.9 at 4K. The 4K Ultra row is the only measured result below triple digits, and it is the lowest value in the entire dataset. Medium provides a solid performance alternative: 542 at 1080p, 341.9 at 1440p, and 179.3 at 4K. Low is the pure performance choice, with 637.7 at 1080p, 436.1 at 1440p, and 229.8 at 4K.

For a balanced visual and frame rate experience, High at 1440p or High at 4K is the strongest measured option. Medium at 4K also holds a high average at 179.3 FPS, but it gives up visual detail compared to High. Low is not recommended when higher presets remain far above playable averages, but it is the fastest measured configuration at every resolution.
