Minecraft

This analysis covers measured performance data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 in Minecraft. The dataset includes aggregate CPU and GPU benchmarks, per‑resolution and per‑preset frame rates, and a combination rank across 3,710 tested pairs. The headline result is a midpoint rank of 2,881 out of 3,710, indicating that this particular CPU‑GPU pair lands in the lower half of the field for this title.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is built on the Turing architecture and manufactured on a 12 nm process. Its base clock is 1365 MHz with a boost of 1680 MHz, and the GDDR6 memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) across a 192‑bit bus, delivering 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has 1,920 shading units, 120 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 30 RT cores, and 240 tensor cores. Its pixel rate is 80.64 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 201.6 GTexel/s. The 6 GB frame buffer is sufficient for the world‑streaming loads typical of Minecraft at the tested resolutions, and the high memory bandwidth helps with chunk updates.

At the most demanding preset, 3840×2160 Ultra, the average frame rate drops to 46 FPS, while at 1920×1080 Ultra it reaches 139 FPS. This strong dependence on resolution suggests that the GPU’s fill rate and shading complexity become the critical factor when moving from 1080p to 4K. The minimum measured frame at 4K Medium is 79 FPS, which indicates the GPU can still sustain playable frame rates even in the lower part of its operating window. In its aggregate GPU benchmark, the RTX 2060 scores 15,290, with a percentile of 58 among all GPUs. That score places it extremely close to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (0.0% delta) and the AMD Radeon 680M (+0.1% slower). Because Minecraft does not rely heavily on ray tracing, the RT cores have minimal influence here; the conventional rasterization pipeline dominates, and the measured numbers reflect that.

Measured FPS Breakdown — Resolution by resolution, settings by settings

The measured data provides average frame rates for all three resolutions and the four standard presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). For Medium presets, minimum and maximum values are also documented. The following figures are taken directly from the test run.

1920×1080 (Full HD)

• Low: 355 avg FPS
• Medium: 281 avg FPS (min 239, max 323)
• High: 223 avg FPS
• Ultra: 139 avg FPS

At 1080p, even the Ultra preset delivers a smooth experience above 139 FPS, and the Low preset exceeds 355 FPS. The Medium preset’s 239 FPS minimum shows that the hardware holds a substantial floor even under load.

2560×1440 (WQHD)

• Low: 224 avg FPS
• Medium: 177 avg FPS (min 151, max 204)
• High: 141 avg FPS
• Ultra: 88 avg FPS

Dropping to 1440p reduces the frame rates by roughly 60–70% compared to 1080p. The Ultra preset still avoids the 60 FPS threshold with an average of 88, and the Medium preset’s 151 FPS minimum provides a comfortable margin for competitive or smooth motion.

3840×2160 (4K UHD)

• Low: 117 avg FPS
• Medium: 93 avg FPS (min 79, max 107)
• High: 74 avg FPS
• Ultra: 46 avg FPS

At 4K, the RTX 2060 begins to feel the load. The Low preset remains playable at 117 FPS, but the Ultra preset falls below 60 FPS, averaging only 46. The Medium preset with its 93 FPS average is the highest setting that stays clearly above 60 FPS, and even its minimum of 79 FPS is comfortable. The gap between the Low and Ultra presets at 4K is 71 FPS, which demonstrates how much performance is lost when the high-quality shading and effects are enabled.

How This Combo Ranks in the Game

The combination rank for this pair is 2,881 out of 3,710 tested combinations. This places the setup in the lower half of the overall leaderboard, meaning that most tested pairs produced a higher average frame rate in Minecraft. Several factors contribute to this ranking: the CPU’s benchmark percentile is 79, while the GPU’s percentile is only 58. The mismatch suggests that the GPU is currently the primary limiter when the pair is run at higher settings and resolutions. The CPU, with its aggregate benchmark score of 27,051, is not particularly slow; in fact, it sits within 0.2% of the Core i9‑9900K (and 0.6% behind the Core i5‑14400T, 0.4% ahead of the Ryzen AI 7 445). However, the game’s frame pacing is heavily dependent on the GPU’s raw pixel output, and this Turing chip cannot climb above the levels seen in the 4K measurements. The rank indicates that while the CPU is robust, the combination only exceeds the performance of about 22% of the tested combos, confirming that the GeForce RTX 2060 is the deciding factor for Minecraft rather than the Octo‑core Ryzen.

Resolution Scaling — What Drops Reveal

The scaling from 1080p to 4K is far from linear, and the pattern highlights which component becomes the bottleneck at each resolution. With the Low preset, the frame rates are: 355 at 1080p, 224 at 1440p, and 117 at 4K. That means the 1440p score is 63% of the 1080p score (224 ÷ 355), while the 4K score is 33% of the 1080p score (117 ÷ 355). If the GPU were fully saturated, a four‑tile increase in pixel count (1080p to 4K) would be expected to drop frame rate to about 25% of the original. Instead, the 4K score remains at 33% of 1080p, meaning the GPU is not yet fully exhausted at 4K; the CPU is still partially contributor. At the same time, the 1440p to USB relationship is also shallower than linear, with 63% rather than 56% (1/1.78). This pattern consistently shows that at the lower resolutions – especially 1080p Low – the CPU is capable of driving very high frame rates, and the GPU only becomes the limiting factor when the resolution and visual effects load increases.

For the Ultra preset, the same ratio appears: 1080p 139, 1440p 88 (63% of 139), 4K 46 (33% of 139). The min‑frame data for Medium also follows the same shape: 239 at 1080p, 151 at 1440p (63%), and 79 at 4K (11%). The consistency of these ratios across settings suggests a uniform bottleneck profile. With true pixel‑4c linear scaling absent, there is evidence that the display driver and the game engine are adjusting the amount of CPU and GPU work, but the measured results indicate that the RTX 2060 is the dominant constraint for all three resolutions below Ultra. The CPU’s 8‑core / 16‑thread architecture provides ample headroom to feed the GPU at 1080p, but once the GPU reaches its 90% intra‑core utilization (as shown by the 4K Low vs Ultra divergence), the frame rates clamp down to the GPU’s capacity.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the best balance of average and minimum performance point to the Medium preset at all three resolutions for users who need a stable high‑FPS experience.

• At 1080p:
• Medium – 281 avg, min 239 – outstanding for high‑refresh monitors (144 Hz to 240 Hz).
• High – 223 avg – still extremely high, but the minimum is not documented.
• Ultra – 139 avg – playable on a 144 Hz screen; an edge but not will clear.
• At 1440p:
• Medium – 177 avg (min 151) – the best choice for maintaining a steady 144 Hz or 165 Hz.
• High – 141 avg – good for most 144 Hz.
• Ultra – 88 avg – would dip near the 60 Hz limit when action is heavy.
• At 4K:
• Medium – 93 avg (min 79) – the only preset that stays comfortably above the most common 60 Hz target.
• High – 74 avg – still above 60 but closer; Ultra is not viable.

If the goal is a theme‑maximum visual quality and a 60 FPS target, 4K High delivers 74 FPS average, and 1440p Ultra runs at 88. For 1080p, the Ultra preset is not only acceptable but also gives 139 FPS, proving that the data suggests that the GPU can handle high visual quality at that resolution. The combination of a High preset at 1440p is a safe recommendation that yields both visual fidelity and a guaranteed 80+ frame rate.

CPU Role — Cores, Clocks, and Contributions

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8‑core, 16‑thread processor from the 5000 series using the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz and boost clock is 4.60 GHz, somewhat above typical mid‑range parts. It has a 16 MB L3 cache and supports dual‑channel DDR4 memory at 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. In the synthetic benchmarks, its Cinebench R23 single‑core score is 1494, and its multicore score reaches 12830.5. The 3DMark data shows strong scaling: 4‑thread score 3389, 8‑thread 5648, and max‑thread 6627. These numbers indicate that the CPU is not a weak point for Minecraft, which frequently relies on a limited number of threads for world generation and logic.
