Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers a compelling but uneven performance profile in Minimum, a Third-Person Shooter released on 2014-06-25. The data shows a combination capable of very high frame rates at 1080p, yet one that becomes progressively more GPU-bound and less fluid as resolution and graphical settings increase. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS data, contextualizes the combo's standing among 1,733 tested combinations, and examines the distinct roles of the CPU and GPU in producing these results.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, and its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus with 912.4 GB/s of bandwidth provides ample resources for Minimum's demands. The GPU's high memory bandwidth is particularly relevant at higher resolutions, where texture data and frame buffers grow. The card's boost clock of 1665 MHz, combined with its 10,240 shading units, allows it to push substantial pixel throughput, evidenced by its pixel rate of 186.5 GPixel/s.

The measured FPS data underscores the GPU's role as the primary driver of performance. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 275.5 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 45.1 FPS. This dramatic scaling is directly tied to the GPU's workload. The RTX 3080 Ti, which ranks in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs and has an average benchmark score of 41,224, is clearly capable of handling the game's rendering. Its nearest rivals, such as the RTX 3090 with a deltaPct of -0.5%, show how close this card is to the top-tier performance of its generation. However, the data indicates that even this powerful GPU is not immune to the combined stress of 4K resolution and maximum settings in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested systems for Minimum, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti holds a rank of 497 out of 1,733 tested combos. This places it in the upper third of all systems tested, a strong showing that reflects the raw power of the RTX 3080 Ti. However, the rank also suggests that the CPU is holding the system back from its full potential, as many combinations with higher-end processors would likely achieve higher ranks.

The CPU's own benchmark data supports this interpretation. With an average benchmark score of 17,489, the Ryzen 5 4600G sits in the 75th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE and the Intel Core i5-12450H, have nearly identical average scores (17,482 and 17,475, respectively), with deltaPct values of 0% and 0.1%. This indicates that while the CPU is not a weak link, it is performing at a level that is typical for a mid-range processor. The GPU, by contrast, is in the 83rd percentile, a significant gap that highlights the imbalance in this pairing. The result is a system that ranks highly, but not as highly as it would if the CPU were better matched to the GPU's capabilities.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of the system's performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the combo is exceptionally fast. With Low settings, it averages 275.5 FPS. Moving up to Medium yields 211.9 FPS, and High settings produce 181.9 FPS. At Ultra, the average FPS is 135. This shows that even at the highest settings, the system is well above the 60 FPS threshold, providing a very smooth experience.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but begins to show the increased load on the GPU. Low settings average 177.6 FPS, which drops to 137.7 FPS on Medium. High settings average 116.7 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 86.5 FPS. These numbers are still excellent for high-refresh-rate gaming, indicating that the RTX 3080 Ti has enough power to drive this resolution easily. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is significant, but the frame rates remain highly playable.

The 3840x2160 results show a more pronounced impact. At Low settings, the average FPS is 95.2, which is still very good. Medium settings average 74.3 FPS, and High settings average 60.1 FPS. However, at Ultra settings, the average FPS falls to 45.1. This is the only configuration where the system dips below the 60 FPS target, demonstrating that 4K Ultra is a significant challenge for this combination. The data clearly shows that the RTX 3080 Ti's performance is the deciding factor at this resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K illustrates the changing bottleneck in the system. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 275.5 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low, the FPS drops to 177.6, a 35.5% reduction. At 4K Low, the FPS further drops to 95.2, a 46.4% reduction from 1440p and a 65.4% reduction from 1080p. This pattern is consistent across all settings, but the percentage drops are more substantial at higher quality presets.

The scaling at Ultra settings is particularly telling. From 1080p Ultra (135 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (86.5 FPS), there is a 35.9% drop. From 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra (45.1 FPS), there is a 47.9% drop. The fact that the frame rate at 4K Ultra is less than half of what it is at 1080p Ultra strongly indicates that the system is fully GPU-limited at this resolution. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions, but the sheer pixel count at 4K overwhelms the RTX 3080 Ti. The data suggests that for a consistent 60 FPS experience at 4K, the user would need to lower settings to High, where the system averages 60.1 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G plays a crucial, yet secondary, role in this pairing. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 2 architecture, it offers a boost clock of 4.20 GHz and a base clock of 3.70 GHz. The CPU's 8 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel memory support are adequate for gaming, but its performance ceiling is lower than that of the GPU. The CPU's benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13,593 and a single-core score of 1,919, place it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs.

In Minimum, the CPU's influence is most visible at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 275.5 FPS, a frame rate that is likely close to the CPU's maximum output in this game. The data shows that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at 4K, as the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. However, at 1080p, the CPU's performance becomes more relevant. The Ryzen 5 4600G's average benchmark score of 17,489 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17,482) and Intel Core i5-12450H (17,475), with deltaPct values of 0% and 0.1%. This indicates that the CPU's performance is in a very tight band with its peers, and it is this level of performance that allows the RTX 3080 Ti to stretch its legs at lower resolutions. The CPU is a capable partner, but the GPU is clearly the star of the show in this configuration.
