Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination delivers a wide performance envelope in Minimum, a 2014 third-person shooter. The data shows that this pairing is far more capable than the game's age suggests, with frame rates ranging from a smooth 72.2 FPS at 4K High to a blistering 328.3 FPS at 1080p Low. The benchmark results indicate that the CPU provides a solid foundation, but the GPU's raw power is the primary driver of the high refresh rates observed at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable but pronounced drop in performance as resolution increases, which is typical for a title from this era. At 1080p High, the combo produces 212.1 FPS. Moving to 1440p High, the average falls to 135.8 FPS, a decrease of 36%. At 4K High, the average tumbles further to 72.2 FPS, which is a 66% drop from the 1080p figure. This scaling pattern strongly indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting component as the pixel count rises, leaving the CPU with ample headroom.

The trend is consistent across all settings. At Medium, the 1080p score of 250.5 FPS drops to 164.5 FPS at 1440p and then to 88.5 FPS at 4K. At Low, the spread is even wider, with 328.3 FPS at 1080p, 211.6 FPS at 1440p, and 113.1 FPS at 4K. The fact that 4K Low (113.1 FPS) is still significantly higher than 4K Ultra (56.2 FPS) shows that the game's graphical settings have a massive impact on the GPU workload. The data suggests that for 4K gaming, users will need to rely on the High or Medium presets to maintain a fluid experience, while 1080p and 1440p users can comfortably max out the settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Minimum, this specific pairing of the Ryzen 5 5600GT and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 178th out of 1733 tested combos. This places it firmly in the top 11% of all configurations tested for this game. The high rank is a direct result of the GPU's strong performance, which compensates for the CPU's more modest standing among processors.

The CPU itself sits in the 78th percentile when compared to all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20740. Its closest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700, has a nearly identical average score of 20746, showing a deltaPct of 0. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is also a near-exact match, scoring 20680, which is a 0.3% difference. This indicates that the 5600GT's processing power is on par with these established mid-range parts, providing a balanced platform for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The combo's high rank in this game is therefore proof of the GPU's ability to push frame rates at the resolutions where the CPU is not a bottleneck.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain the high frame rates observed. It comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a substantial 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This large memory pool is more than sufficient for a 2014 title, ensuring that even at 4K with High textures, the GPU does not run into memory capacity limits. The architecture is Ada Lovelace, built on a 5 nm process, and it features 8448 shading units.

The GPU's clock speeds are also a key factor. With a base clock of 2340 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is running at high frequencies. This is reflected in its 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. The data shows that this raw compute power translates directly into high frame rates. At 4K Ultra, the combo hits 56.2 FPS, which is the lowest score in the set but still playable. The jump from Medium to High at 4K (88.5 to 72.2 FPS) shows a 23% performance cost, while the jump from High to Ultra (72.2 to 56.2 FPS) costs an additional 22%. This demonstrates that the Ultra preset is particularly demanding on the GPU's shading and texture units. The GPU's percentile ranking of 86 against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 48704, reinforces its position as a high-end part.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo is exceptionally fast. With Low settings, it averages 328.3 FPS. Medium settings produce 250.5 FPS, and High settings deliver 212.1 FPS. Even at Ultra, the average stays high at 162.2 FPS. This resolution is clearly CPU-limited in many scenarios, as the GPU is capable of far more than the CPU can feed it.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but start to show the GPU's workload increasing. Low settings average 211.6 FPS, Medium averages 164.5 FPS, and High averages 135.8 FPS. Ultra settings still manage a solid 106.9 FPS. The relative difference between settings at 1440p is similar to 1080p, but the absolute numbers are lower, confirming that the GPU is becoming more involved.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. Low settings yield 113.1 FPS, which is still very playable. Medium drops to 88.5 FPS, and High to 72.2 FPS. Ultra is the most demanding, producing 56.2 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at High settings (135.8 to 72.2 FPS) represents a 47% reduction, which aligns with the significant increase in pixel count. The data suggests that for a locked 60 FPS experience at 4K, High settings are the maximum, while for higher refresh rate monitors, users will need to drop to Medium or Low.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. While its processing power is not the primary driver of the extreme frame rates at 1080p, it provides enough headroom to prevent severe bottlenecks. The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache is helpful for gaming, and its dual-channel DDR4 memory support with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s is sufficient for this title.

The benchmark data shows the 5600GT's performance profile. In Cinebench R23, it scores 17272 points in multi-core and 2438 points in single-core tests. Its 3DMark scores are also relevant: 5554 with max threads and 913 for single-thread. These scores place it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700, has a nearly identical average score, suggesting they are interchangeable in gaming workloads. However, the data shows that in Minimum, the CPU is rarely the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the 328.3 FPS is likely near the maximum the CPU can generate, but at higher resolutions and settings, the GPU takes over as the limiting component. The CPU's 65 W TDP and PCIe Gen 3 interface are adequate for this pairing, though the latter does not take advantage of the GPU's PCIe Gen 4 support.
