Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 in Minimum produce a decisive graphical advantage: at 1080p Low the combination hits 283 fps, while at 4K High it still manages 79 fps. The Ryzen 5 4600G contributes a solid six-core base, but this pairing is clearly GPU-driven, with the RTX 4080 doing most of the heavy lifting across every preset and resolution. What follows is a benchmark interpretation of how this specific CPU–GPU pairing behaves across the measured rows, with recommendations for the best experience.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to the Ultra preset as the most effective qualitative experience across all three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, Ultra yields an average of 174 fps. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset delivers 112 fps, and at 4K (3840x2160) it retains 61 fps, matching the 60 Hz refresh-rate mark. Raising to Ultra at 1080p is likely to be more demanding than the average title, but the RTX 4080 easily clears the 60 fps threshold for any display. Medium grants 257 fps at 1080p and 176 fps at 1440p, but even High—which is often a balanced setting—achieves 229 fps at 1080p and 148 fps at 1440p. Given these figures, the Ultra preset is the only one that consistently stays playable at the higher resolution, while at 1080p there is enough headroom to push visuals to their highest detail without risking ah trough.

For 4K, choosing Low yields 124 fps, Medium 95 fps, and High 79 fps. The drop from High to Ultra, about 18 fps, is relatively steep, but the absolute difference (79 vs 61) is numerically significant. If the display’s refresh is 60 Hz, Ultra at 4K is still a realistic option. The clear recommendation for the best experience per measured results is Ultra at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, and Medium or High at 4K only if you prefer a smoother curve over the absolute peak—yet the Ultra setting is all but assured to hold 60 fps.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 sits in the upper tier of the board, with an average benchmark score of 54247 and a percentile of 86 among all GPUs. Its base clock of 2205 MHz and boost up to 2505 MHz provide a strong foundation for the game’s workload. The memory subsystem is generous: 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus yields 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than enough for typical asset streaming. The close benchmark clustering with its nearest rivals is telling: the RTX 4080 SUPER averages a score of 54209 (a 0.1% distance in the data), while the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X sits 1.1% higher and the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is rated 2.6% ahead. That means the RTX 4080 is neither the fastest nor the slowest in its direct bracket—it is running in a very tight pack, and the in-game performance is consistent with that rank.

The GPU’s memory bandwidth becomes relevant at higher resolutions, but the measured framerates show the card never has to lean on its 16 GB in a visible double. Even at 4K Ultra, the 61 fps average indicates the GPU is not crashing into a memory wall; rather, it is compute-bound at the highest preset. The RTX 4080’s geometry and raster for a title like Minimum are abundant for 1080p and 1440p, and the fact that going from Low to Ultra at 1080p only lowers the framerate from 283 to 174 fps—a drop of about 38%—shows scaling with a moderately aggressive rendering path. For this game, the GPU is active and is fundamentally the dominant component.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution scaling behavior in a paired system betrays the limiting component. The measured rows show a clear pattern: the higher the resolution, the gentler the flip. From 1080p to 1440p, at Medium settings, framerate moves from 257 fps to 176 fps; at High from 229 to 148 fps; at Ultra from 174 to 112 fps; and at Low from 283 to 230 fps. Then from 1440p to 4K, the same rows drop further: Medium 176 to 95 fps, High 148 to 79 fps, Ultra 112 to 61 fps, and Low 230 to 124 fps. The framerate at 4K is slightly under 50% of the 1080p figure across settings; for example, at High, the 1080p value is 229 fps, and 4K is 79 fps, which is about one third. This pronounced pixel-count scaling strongly suggests that the GPU becomes the hard limit at 1440p and 4K.

The Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread part with a boost of 4.20 GHz, and it is not a mainstream slow-down at these resolutions. At high FPS, however, the CPU might cap the midway point. Specifically, at 1080p Low the FPS ratio of 283 might be CPU-limited, because the GPU usage would be under high, while the CPU is delivering enough geometry, the data in that row is the largest of the whole field, which suggests the APU is still pedaling hard. But the present data shows that the scaling is monotonic: when the resolution doubles, the frame rate halves, and that is the signature of a GPU-bound system. The Ryzen 5 4600G’s memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s (DDR4 dual-channel) is another factor—while it is not part of the framebuffer, it is sufficient for this fight.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Full measured rows are for every resolution and settings pair. All values are exact readings.

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 283 fps
• Medium: 257 fps (min 218, max 295)
• High: 229 fps
• Ultra: 174 fps

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 230 fps
• Medium: 176 fps (min 149, max 202)
• High: 148 fps
• Ultra: 112 fps

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 124 fps
• Medium: 95 fps (min 80, max 109)
• High: 79 fps
• Ultra: 61 fps

The min/max values for Medium at each resolution provide an idea of frame pacing: at 1080p Medium from 218 to 295 fps; at 1440p, the range is 149–202 fps; at 4K, 80–109 fps. The width of these ranges is normal and indicates no severe streaming hitches. The only configuration that loses ground to the 60 Hz target is 4K Ultra at 61 fps, which is eerily close but not ideal if you want a sizeable buffer. Every other setting at 4K is higher.

In short grid, the RTX▲ comes closest to choking at 4K Ultra, but the average lies at 61, and the game is still playable. Moving to 1080p on Low or Medium delivers well above any current general refresh rate (283 and 257 fps) and leaves the CPU in the default. Overall, this is an example of a meticulous GPU-driven measurement discretised into the four settings.

Q: In the measured metrics, which resolution ≥ 1080p median is the least GPU-bound?

A: The 1080p Low preset, at 283 fps, is the most extra-budget figure in the set, although the exact CPU bottleneck is not directly measured without a CPU-throttled comparison.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 4000-series processor with six physical cores and twelve threads. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost of 4.20 GHz, a TDP of 65 W, and sits in the AMD Socket AM4 platform. Built on a 7 nm Zen 2 (Renoir) chip, the CPU includes an 8 MB shared L3 cache and an integrated Radeon Vega 7 iGPU. In this pairing, the integrated graphics is irrelevant, but the CPU’s raw compute provides the foundation for those high framerate numbers.

In the composite Cinebench R23 multi-core run, the 4600G scores 13593, while the single-core score is 1919. The Cinebench R20 multi-core score stands at 5709. In PassMark, its multithread score is 15992 and single-thread score is 2653. These numbers indicate a robust mid-range CPU: it stays clear of extreme diminishing at low resolution. For instance, at 1080p Low (283 fps), the 4600G is likely stretched to keep the GPU at full load, but the deltas of real-world are evaluated in its nearest CPU rivals—in fact, the CPU’s average bench total of 17507 puts it 0.1% above the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, -0.6% below the Ryzen 3 8300GE, etc. The de facto 71st percentile means the CPU is above the median of all tested CPUs, and for a title that is this light on CPU threads (Minimum), the six cores are more than sufficient.

The 4600’s memory support is DDR4 on a dual-channel bus with a speed of 51.2 GB/s, which helps feed the fast RTX turn. Cinebench R23 multicore (13593) also suggests that the CPU retains a substantial margin to drive all the measured FPS in this title, even at very low setting where the CPU’s role is greatest. The launch MSRP of the Ryzen 5 4600G was $154, and of the RTX 4080 was 1,199 USD. Those are listed in the hardware reliability data. In short, the CPU role is that of a stable substrate that enables this pairing to stay high in the list, with no evidence of overheating the bottleneck in these measurements.
