Minecraft: Java Edition

Benchmark results for Minecraft: Java Edition pair the Intel Core i7-13700K with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. The measured rows span 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, each at High, Low, Medium, and Ultra settings. Average FPS reaches 469.1 at 1920x1080 Low and falls to 62.5 at 3840x2160 Ultra. The combination ranks 931 out of 1727 tested combos. The CPU has a launch MSRP of $409, and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 479 USD.

Settings Recommendations

The Medium preset is the strongest data-supported recommendation. At every resolution, Medium produces more average FPS than High or Ultra: 369.1 at 1920x1080, 234.3 at 2560x1440, and 125 at 3840x2160. Low is faster still, with 469.1, 292.9, and 155.6, but it is the lowest settings tier in the measurement set. For users who treat FPS as the only criterion, Low is the obvious row. For users who want a step above Low without taking the FPS hit of High or Ultra, Medium is the balanced pick.

The gap between Medium and High is consistent enough to matter at every resolution. At 1080p the difference is 369.1 versus 295.4, at 1440p it is 234.3 versus 182.6, and at 4K it is 125 versus 96.1. High remains relevant for 4K output at 96.1 average FPS, but Ultra drops that to 62.5. The ordering of settings is consistent across the whole data set: Low beats Medium, Medium beats High, High beats Ultra.

GPU Role

The RX 6700 XT uses the RDNA 2.0 architecture and the Navi 22 chip. Its core configuration includes 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 40 RT cores. Clocks are listed as 2321 MHz base, 2424 MHz game, and 2581 MHz boost. The 12 GB GDDR6 memory sits on a 192-bit bus with 384.0 GB/s bandwidth; memory clock is 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed. FP32 throughput is 13.21 TFLOPS.

These specifications line up with the measured output. At 3840x2160, the GPU produces 155.6 FPS on Low, 125 on Medium, 96.1 on High, and 62.5 on Ultra. At 1920x1080 Low, the same GPU reaches 469.1 FPS. The GPU's average benchmark score is 33721, with nearest rivals including the RX 6800 at 33493 and a deltaPct of 0.7, the HD 7950 at 34050 and a deltaPct of -1, the RX 480 at 34059 and a deltaPct of -1, and the RTX A5000 at 33294 and a deltaPct of 1.3. The 12 GB frame buffer and 384.0 GB/s bandwidth are the memory-side facts most relevant to the 4K settings, where the Ultra row records the lowest FPS in the data.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling pattern is visible across all four settings rows. On Low, the average FPS sequence is 469.1 at 1080p, 292.9 at 1440p, and 155.6 at 4K. On Medium, the sequence is 369.1, 234.3, and 125. On High, it is 295.4, 182.6, and 96.1. On Ultra, it is 185.3, 117.6, and 62.5.

Every move from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 costs FPS, and every move from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 costs more. The Ultra preset has the largest absolute decline from 1080p to 4K, going from 185.3 to 62.5. Low also drops heavily, from 469.1 to 155.6. Since the CPU and the settings label remain unchanged across the resolution changes, the progression implicates the GPU as the primary limiter at higher pixel counts. The 1080p Low result of 469.1 is the highest row in the data, and it aligns with the CPU's strong single-thread performance rather than with the GPU's resolution-dependent load.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured rows report avgFps only; minFps and maxFps are null in the data.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

| 3840x2160 | High | 96.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 155.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 125 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 62.5 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 182.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 292.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 234.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 117.6 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 295.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 469.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 369.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 185.3 |

The table shows a strict ordering within each resolution: Low, then Medium, then High, then Ultra. The 1080p Low value of 469.1 is the highest single row, and the 4K Ultra value of 62.5 is the lowest. The 4K Medium value of 125 sits between the 4K Low 155.6 and the 4K High 96.1. Interestingly, the 4K Medium result of 125 exceeds the 1440p Ultra result of 117.6, which means the settings choice can outweigh a full resolution step in this data.

CPU Role

The i7-13700K belongs to the Core 13th Gen Raptor Lake-S lineup and fits Intel Socket 1700. It has 16 cores, 24 threads, a base clock of 3.40 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The cache hierarchy is 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 30 MB shared L3. Synthetic benchmarks show strong single-thread results: Cinebench R23 single-core 5505, Geekbench single-core 2850, 3DMark single-thread 1136, and PassMark single-thread 4333. Multi-thread results are also strong: Cinebench R23 multi-core 39000, Geekbench multi-core 17731, 3DMark max threads 12412, and PassMark multithread 45887.

The CPU's avgBenchmarkScore is 47282, and its percentileVsAllCpus is 93. These figures matter because the 1080p Low row reaches 469.1; sustaining that frame rate requires fast per-core execution, and the 3.40 GHz base clock plus 5.40 GHz boost clock are the raw speed facts behind the single-thread scores. As resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the FPS drops to levels where the GPU's raw fill capacity becomes the more visible constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 931 out of 1727 tested combos, placing it near the middle of the tested field. The CPU alone is at the 93rd percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 77th percentile against all GPUs. The CPU's avgBenchmarkScore is 47282, and the GPU's avgBenchmarkScore is 33721. The GPU's nearest rivals by avgBenchmarkScore are the RX 6800 at 33493, the HD 7950 at 34050, the RX 480 at 34059, and the RTX A5000 at 33294, with deltaPct values of 0.7, -1, -1, and 1.3 respectively.

Even with a high-percentile CPU, this combination lands in the middle of the combo list. The rank reflects measured rows rather than an estimate, since dataIsMeasured is true. For this game, the pairing of a 93rd-percentile CPU and a 77th-percentile GPU does not translate into a top-tier combo position; it produces a mid-field result at 931 of 1727.
