Minecraft: Java Edition

The benchmark page for Minecraft: Java Edition pairs the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. The measured rows show a very wide frame rate envelope: 590.7 FPS at 1920x1080 Low and 74.2 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra. The data set contains average FPS only, with min and max FPS fields left null, so the comparison below is based on reported averages.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS drops at every settings tier when moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. Low falls from 590.7 to 373.3 to 194.5 across 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. Medium falls from 465 to 295.8 to 155.4. High goes from 373.3 to 235.4 to 120.4. Ultra goes from 231.7 to 148.8 to 74.2. This consistent decline indicates that the graphics load is scaling strongly with pixel output. At 1920x1080, the Low preset posts 590.7 FPS, a number high enough to suggest the CPU can feed the GPU quickly when geometry and shading work are relatively small. At 3840x2160, even Low is down to 194.5 FPS, and Ultra sits at 74.2 FPS, so the GPU becomes the limiting component as resolution increases. The 3840x2160 Low-to-Ultra range is 194.5 to 74.2, while the 1920x1080 Low-to-Ultra range is 590.7 to 231.7; the top-end preset penalty is far more visible at high resolution. If a builder wants to identify the bottleneck from these numbers alone, the resolution scaling points squarely at the GPU once the target is 3840x2160, especially for Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

The best preset depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, even Ultra maintains 231.7 FPS. There is little need to drop below High for a smooth result, and Low's 590.7 FPS is available for anyone chasing the absolute maximum average. At 2560x1440, Medium records 295.8 FPS, High records 235.4 FPS, and Ultra records 148.8 FPS. High is the standout balance in this measured set: it stays well above the Ultra result while retaining a high preset tier. Ultra at 2560x1440 is still perfectly usable at 148.8 FPS, but the jump from High to Ultra costs a large share of the frame rate. At 3840x2160, Medium is 155.4 FPS and High is 120.4 FPS, making those two the reasonable quality-to-frame-rate choices. Ultra at 3840x2160 drops to 74.2 FPS, which is the lowest measured row on the entire page. For a purely visual experience, 2560x1440 Ultra at 148.8 FPS is better than 3840x2160 Ultra at 74.2 FPS. For maximum frame rate, 1920x1080 Low at 590.7 FPS is the top measured configuration.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT brings 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 512.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its clock stack is 1825 MHz base, 2015 MHz game clock, and 2250 MHz boost. The GPU contains 4608 shading units, 288 texture units, 128 ROPs, and 72 ray cores, with FP32 throughput rated at 20.74 TFLOPS. These GPU resources line up with the measured scaling pattern. At 3840x2160, High is 120.4 FPS while Ultra is 74.2 FPS, a large preset penalty at the same resolution. At 1920x1080, the same GPU can push Low to 590.7 FPS, so the card is not the dominant constraint when the resolution is low. The 16 GB memory pool is not directly tied to any VRAM usage row in this data, so a capacity limit cannot be confirmed from these results. What the data does show is that the memory subsystem and the high boost clock are sufficient for the game's measured presets, with the GPU becoming the visible ceiling at 3840x2160 Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

This CPU/GPU combination ranks 570th out of 1,727 tested combos in Minecraft: Java Edition. That places it in the upper portion of the field. The CPU is at the 89th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is at the 87th percentile of all GPUs, so the individual components are strong in their respective benchmark pools. In the CPU nearest-rival comparison, the Ryzen 7 9700X has an average benchmark score of 36029. It is 0.2% above the Intel Core i5-14500HX's 35940, 0.6% above the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845's 35802, 0.4% below the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H's 36165, and 0.8% below the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H's 36328. On the GPU side, the Radeon RX 6800 XT has an average benchmark score of 49982. It is 0.5% above the Intel Arc A550M's 49737, 2.6% above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 48704, 1.9% above the NVIDIA CMP 50HX's 49071, and 1.7% below the NVIDIA RTX A1000's 50826. The 570th combo rank is therefore not a sign of weak silicon; the measured FPS rows show a high-refresh capable setup that gives up ground only at the extreme Ultra setting on the top resolution.
