Minimum

Minimum, a third-person shooter released on 2014-06-25, is the subject of this measured performance analysis. The combination of an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU produces frame rates across three resolutions and four quality presets. This combo ranks 701st out of 1,733 tested combinations, placing it in the upper half of the database.

Resolution Scaling

At High settings, the average FPS falls from 153.9 at 1920x1080 to 103.0 at 2560x1440, a 33% reduction, and then to 51.5 at 3840x2160, a further 50% drop. The pattern is similar across all presets: Low goes from 239.6 to 155.5 to 83.2, Medium from 182.6 to 119.3 to 65.4, and Ultra from 117.1 to 76.2 to 43.0. The consistent larger drop between 1440p and 4K compared to 1080p to 1440p indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant limiter as pixel count increases. At 1080p Low, the 239.6 FPS figure suggests the CPU is still able to feed frames at a high rate, but without a CPU-only test, the exact bottleneck cannot be isolated.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1080p, High delivers 153.9 FPS, which is above 144 Hz, while Medium reaches 182.6 FPS and Low 239.6 FPS. Ultra at 117.1 FPS is still above 60 but below 144. For 1440p, Medium provides 119.3 FPS, High 103.0 FPS, and Low 155.5 FPS; Ultra drops to 76.2 FPS. For 4K, Medium is the highest preset that maintains 60 FPS (65.4), while Low reaches 83.2 FPS and High falls to 51.5 FPS. The data suggests that for a 60 FPS target at 4K, Medium is the appropriate choice, while for 144 Hz at 1080p, High or Medium are viable.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 701st out of 1,733 tested combinations, which places it in the upper half of the database. This is lower than the individual percentiles of the CPU (77th) and GPU (74th), indicating that the game's performance is not solely determined by these components, or that the combination is not optimally matched for this title. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU's performance is adequate for the game's demands.
