FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS for this combo in Minecraft at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers an average of 169 FPS at 1920x1080 on Ultra settings. This is more than double the 4K Ultra result of 56 FPS, showing how resolution heavily impacts performance in this sandbox title.

Q: How much faster is the RTX 2070 SUPER compared to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The GPU’s average benchmark score of 20282 places it slightly below the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480, -1% delta), the RTX 3070 Mobile (20534, -1.2%), the Intel Arc B570 (20556, -1.3%), and the Intel Arc A750 (20582, -1.5%). The RTX 2070 SUPER trails these cards by roughly one to two percent in aggregate compute performance.

Q: What is the CPU's percentile ranking among all tested processors?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 sits in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26324. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, scores 26274 (a 0.2% delta), meaning the 7600 is essentially on par with that mobile flagship in synthetic workloads.

Q: Does the Ryzen 5 7600 have integrated graphics?

A: Yes, the CPU includes Radeon Graphics as its integrated GPU. However, this combo uses the discrete NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, which has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Q: What is the peak measured FPS at 1440p Medium settings?

A: At 2560x1440 with Medium settings, the combo achieves an average of 214 FPS, with a minimum of 182 FPS and a maximum of 247 FPS. This indicates strong frame pacing in the mid-range settings tier.

Q: How does the combo rank overall in Minecraft?

A: The combination ranks 2136 out of 3710 tested combos for this game, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. This rank reflects the balance between the CPU's strong single-thread performance and the GPU's mid-range standing among tested graphics cards.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU104 chip fabricated on a 12 nm process. It houses 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, along with 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). This configuration provides 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and a texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s.

In Minecraft, the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for the game's block-based geometry, but the data shows that the graphics card becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 56, while at 4K Low it reaches 141 — a gap of 85 FPS that demonstrates how heavily the GPU is stressed by the combination of resolution and quality settings. The RTX 2070 SUPER's 40 RT cores are not directly leveraged by Minecraft's standard rendering path, so the performance scaling is primarily driven by rasterization throughput and memory bandwidth.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 65 among all tested graphics cards aligns with its measured FPS behavior. In synthetic benchmarks, the card scores 18169 in Passmark G3D and 7557 in Passmark GPU Compute, with a Vulkan score of 90637 in Geekbench. These figures indicate a mid-range part that can handle Minecraft at high frame rates in lower resolutions, but struggles to maintain playable performance at 4K with maximum settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of resolution scaling that shifts the bottleneck between CPU and GPU. At 1080p Low, the combo produces an average of 429 FPS, which is remarkably high and suggests the CPU is the primary driver — the Ryzen 5 7600's strong single-thread performance (1852 in Cinebench R23 single-core) allows the game to run at extreme frame rates when the GPU is not heavily loaded.

Moving to 1440p Low, the average drops to 271 FPS, a reduction of 158 FPS (approximately 37%) from 1080p. This steep decline indicates that the GPU begins to take on more responsibility as pixel count increases. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 141 FPS, which is roughly half of the 1440p Low result. This near-linear scaling with pixel count (1080p to 1440p is about 1.78x pixels, 1440p to 4K is about 2.25x) suggests the GPU is becoming the limiting component at higher resolutions.

The scaling becomes more pronounced when comparing Ultra settings across resolutions. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 169 FPS; at 1440p Ultra, it drops to 106 FPS (a 37% decrease); and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 56 FPS (a 47% decrease from 1440p). This nonlinear drop at 4K Ultra indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER's memory bandwidth and compute resources are saturated, while at 1080p Ultra, the CPU still has headroom to push higher frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers an average of 429 FPS on Low settings, 340 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 289 and maximum of 391), 270 FPS on High, and 169 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 260 FPS, showing that Minecraft's quality settings have a substantial impact on frame rate even at 1080p. The Medium setting's minimum FPS of 289 is notable, as it indicates the frame rate rarely dips below 300 FPS in this tier.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 271 FPS on Low, 214 FPS on Medium (182 minimum, 247 maximum), 170 FPS on High, and 106 FPS on Ultra. The transition from High to Ultra costs 64 FPS, which is the largest single-step drop in this resolution. This suggests that Ultra settings introduce effects or draw distances that disproportionately tax the GPU.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 141 FPS on Low, 112 FPS on Medium (95 minimum, 129 maximum), 89 FPS on High, and 56 FPS on Ultra. The Medium setting's minimum of 95 FPS means that even mid-range settings at 4K can cause noticeable frame dips below 100 FPS. The Ultra result of 56 FPS is borderline for smooth gameplay, and the 33 FPS drop from High to Ultra is significant.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 2136 out of 3710 tested combinations in Minecraft, placing it in the 42nd percentile of all tested combos. This rank is lower than what the raw FPS numbers might suggest, because Minecraft is a game where many high-end CPUs paired with top-tier GPUs can achieve extremely high frame rates, pushing the median combo performance upward. The Ryzen 5 7600's 78th percentile CPU ranking and the RTX 2070 SUPER's 65th percentile GPU ranking do not translate directly to a high combo rank, indicating that the game's performance is more sensitive to GPU capabilities at higher resolutions.

The rank reflects the GPU's mid-range position among tested parts. With the RTX 2070 SUPER being end-of-life and scoring close to lower-tier mobile GPUs like the RTX 3070 Mobile (-1.2% delta) and the Intel Arc A750 (-1.5% delta), the combo's overall standing is limited by the graphics card. The CPU's strong performance in single-threaded workloads (999 in 3dmark single-thread, 3910 in Passmark single-thread) helps at 1080p where frame rates exceed 400 FPS, but the GPU becomes the ceiling as resolution increases.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael) using a 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 with dual-channel operation, providing 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Minecraft, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p Low, where the combo achieves 429 FPS. This extreme frame rate is only possible with strong single-thread performance, and the Ryzen 5 7600 delivers a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1852 and a 3dmark single-thread score of 999. The CPU's 12 threads help in multi-threaded synthetic benchmarks (12735 in Cinebench R23 multi-core), but Minecraft's primary rendering thread tends to be the limiting factor at lower resolutions.

The CPU's 78th percentile ranking among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 26324, places it near the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (0.2% delta) and Intel Core i9-11900KF (0.4% delta). These rival comparisons show that the 7600 offers competitive processing power, but the measured FPS data indicates that this CPU is not the bottleneck in most Minecraft scenarios. At 4K Ultra, where the average drops to 56 FPS, the GPU is clearly the limiting component, as the CPU would be capable of driving higher frame rates if the graphics card could keep up. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Minecraft's demands, and its boost clock of 5.10 GHz provides the single-threaded speed that the game benefits from.
