Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT delivers a capable frame–rate profile for Minimum (2014 Third-Person Shooter). Measured data shows average FPS ranging from 35 at 4K Ultra to 204 at 1080p Low, with a consistent scaling pattern that points to a GPU–bounded pipeline. The CPU brings six cores and twelve threads, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz and strong single-thread scores, while the GPU offers 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 312.3 GB/s bandwidth. This combination ranks 1935th out of 3712 tested combos in the game, placing it in the lower half. The following sections break down the recommended settings, answer common questions, and analyze component roles and scaling behavior.

Settings Recommendations

The measured frames per second (FPS) across all resolution and preset combinations indicates that the system is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, but does not sustain 60 FPS at 4K with high graphics. For a third-person shooter, fluid gameplay is critical. The data shows that at 1920×1080, even the Ultra preset achieves an average of 100 FPS, and High preset 131 FPS. At 2560×1440, Medium delivers 100 FPS average with a 1% low of 86, High sits at 83 FPS, and Ultra falls to 64 FPS. Meanwhile, at 4K (3840×2160), only Low reaches 71 FPS average; Medium manages 54 FPS with a minimum of 46 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for high-intenseness. High yields 46 FPS and Ultra 35.

Given that performance at 1080p is more than ample, the most balanced experience is to play at 1440p with the Medium preset. This setting produces a 101 FPS average, providing a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while maintaining decent graphical fidelity. For those with 1080p monitors, the High preset at 1080p delivers 131 FPS, offering a large headroom to avoid frame drops. If the user prioritizes frame rate over visuals, 1080p Low reaches an average of 204 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play. At 4K, the only acceptable presets are Low (71 FPS) or Medium (54 FPS), but players should be aware that Ultra is not viable among typical 60 FPS thresholds. The difference between Medium and High at 1440p is marginal in overall smoothness, but Medium offers a substantial 11% more frame average. Therefore, the recommended preset to balance visual fidelity and performance is Medium at either 1080p or 1440p, depending on the display refresh rate.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600GT’s architecture is Zen 3, built on a 7nm process, with a 6-core / 12-thread configuration. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz and boost reaches 4.60 GHz, helping to serve gameplay that relies on high frequency for responsiveness. In modern titles like Minimum, frame delivery at high refresh rates often depends on strong single-thread throughput. Benchmark data supports this: the CPU excels in single-core workloads, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2438, a Geekbench single-core score of 1843, and a 3DMark single-thread score of 913. These numbers indicate that the processor has enough headroom to drive frame rates above 100 FPS at 1080p, as seen from the measured 204 FPS with Low settings. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS of 100 also falls comfortably within the CPU’s ability, meaning the GPU becomes the limiting factor once resolution rises.

The 6-core, 12-thread design also helps with background tasks and any additional isles of the game engine. The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s is sufficient to feed to the GPU. The boost clock of 4.60 ensures that the processor does not hinder frame generation even in CPU-light situations. However, as the resolution increases, the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck, as evidenced by the substantial drop in FPS from 1440p to 4K. The CPU is constant contributing factor, but the measured scaling indicates that the graphics card is the main constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

In the context of the tested configurations in Minimum, this specific CPU-GPU combo sits at position 1935 out of 3712, meaning it outperforms 181 configurations and underperforms, 1719. This places it at the 52nd percentile from the bottom, or in the lower half of all tested systems. When you look at individual component percentiles, the CPU ranks at the 74th percentile versus all CPUs, and the GPU at the 72nd percentile, suggesting both are strong parts in general. However, the game's rank is notably lower, especially when the directory of all 3712 combos is considered. This mismatch may be due to the game’s engine characteristics; Minimum was released in 2014, and its performance may not utilize the new features adequately. The relatively low combo ranking is not a criticism of the hardware’s raw power, but rather an observation that other tested configurations might lead to higher FPS in this particular shooter. For example, the CPU’s average benchmark score is 20733 with a peripheral ranking of 74, while the GPU averages 27425 and ranks in the 72nd percentile, indicating that the combo is above average in synthetic and compute tasks, but the in-game rank suggests the FPS is not proportionally high. This arises because the game is likely GPU-bound, and the RX 6700 XT, while strong at 1080p and 1440p, does not achieve high enough margins at 4K to lift the overall ranking. Thus, the combination is a solid mid-range performer for its price range, but not a record-setting one for this particular title.

Resolution Scaling

The frame-rate profile as you move from 1080p to 1440p and then to 4K tells a clear story. At every preset, the average FPS plummets as pixel count increases. For example, in High settings the commercial sees 131 FPS at 1080p, 85 FPS at 1440p (a decrease of 46 FPS), and 46 FPS at 4K (another 39 FPS drop). The proportional declines are quite uniform: from 1080p to 1440p, FPS falls by 35% to 40% depending on the preset, and from 1440p to 4K it also falls by roughly half again. For Medium settings: 156 → 101 → 54 FPS, a pattern of just under 40% drop each. For Low: 204 → 132 → 71, likewise. Ultra: 100 → 64 → 35.

This scaling has a clear signature: the performance is tightly bound to the GPU’s render time. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect throughput to stay roughly the same despite lowering resolution, which is not the case. The consistent ~30–45% drop in frame rate for every resolution step is a classic indication of the GPU write being exceeded. At 1080p Medium, the system maintains an average of 156 FPS with low as 133 and a max of 180, which shows that the GPU is not entry but can handle the load. The fact that the 1% low frame (133) at 1080p Medium is still above 75 FPS reinforces that the GPU is the main contributor. At 4K, the best preset is Low with an average of 71 FPS, but the frame time becomes much larger and the maximum smoothness is lost. Unsurprisingly, Ultra at 4K yields only 38 FPS, which is not buttoned for a strong reaction. Therefore, the only way to get solid FPS at 4K is refresh to Low or Medium.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The table below lists all measured average FPS values for each resolution and quality setting, along with the available min and max data for Medium (the only preset that reported frame minima and maxima).

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS | Minimum FPS | Maximum FPS |

|------------|----------|-------------|-------------|-------------|

| 3840×2160 (4K) | High | 46 | – | – |

| 3840×2160 (4K) | Low | 71 | – | – |

| 3840×2160 (4K) | Medium | 52 | 46 | 62 |

| 3840×2160 (4K) | Ultra | 35 | – | – |

| 2560×1440 (1440p) | High | 85 | – | – |

| 2560×1440 (1440p) | Low | 132 | – | – |

| 2560×1440 (1440p) | Medium | 102 | 86 | 116 |

| 2560×1440 (1440p) | Ultra | 64 | – | – |

| 1920×1080 (1080p) | High | 131 | – | – |

| 1920×1080 (1080p) | Low | 204 | – | – |

| 1920×1080 (1080p) | Medium | 156 | 133 | 180 |

| 1920×1080 (1080p) | Ultra | 100 | – | – |

These numbers reflect a smooth curve: at 1080p, even Ultra is >100 FPS, and the best balanced setting is –3. At 1440p, Medium provides 5 (min 86, max 116) – a wholly usable performance. At 4k, the Medium preset’s minimum frame (46) shows that occasional dips below 60 FPS can occur, so players who are sensitive to frame pacing should select Low. The data also lists CPU and GPU benchmark averages, such as the CPU’s average benchmark score of 20733 and its percentile vs all CPUs of 74, and the GPU’s average benchmark score of 27425 with percentile of 72. The combo’s rank in this game is 1935 out of 3746,
