Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers a powerful combination for Minimum, a third-person shooter that scales from extremely high refresh rates at 1080p to playable 4K performance. The measured data shows a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions but retains enough CPU headroom to push frame rates past 300 FPS in lighter settings. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across three resolutions and four quality presets, examines the role of each component, and contextualizes the results against the broader benchmark database.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data for this combination presents a clear hierarchy of performance across the four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 326 FPS, which is the highest measured frame rate for this combo. The Medium preset follows at 250 FPS, High at 210 FPS, and Ultra at 160 FPS. The step from Low to Medium represents a 76 FPS drop, while the step from Medium to High is a 40 FPS drop, and High to Ultra is a 50 FPS drop. This pattern suggests diminishing returns in visual fidelity relative to frame rate as settings increase.

For competitive play, the Low preset at 1080p is the clear choice, as the 326 FPS average provides the maximum possible frame pacing advantage. However, the Medium preset at 1080p, with an average of 250 FPS and a minimum of 212 FPS, offers a substantial improvement in visual quality while still maintaining frame rates well above the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. The High preset at 1080p, at 210 FPS, remains excellent for fast-paced gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 211 FPS, which is still exceptionally high. Medium drops to 161 FPS, High to 135 FPS, and Ultra to 103 FPS. The data suggests that Medium or High at 1440p provides the best balance for most users, with 161 FPS and 135 FPS respectively offering smooth gameplay on high refresh rate 1440p displays. The Ultra preset at 103 FPS is playable but begins to approach the threshold where frame time consistency becomes more critical.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens significantly. Low averages 113 FPS, Medium 87 FPS, High 73 FPS, and Ultra 56 FPS. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as the 87 FPS average with a minimum of 74 FPS provides a playable experience without the significant visual compromises of the Low preset. The High preset at 73 FPS is also viable for those prioritizing visual quality over frame rate, while the Ultra preset at 56 FPS is best reserved for slower-paced scenarios or when using adaptive sync technology.

The TDP is rated at 285 W, with a suggested power supply of 600 W.

The GPU's role in Minimum is dominant, as the frame rate drops consistently with increasing resolution. At 1080p Low, the GPU produces 326 FPS, but at 4K Low, it drops to 113 FPS. This 65% reduction in frame rate due to resolution scaling confirms that the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary performance driver in this combo. The 12 GB of VRAM is sufficient for the game's requirements, as there is no data suggesting memory capacity limits the performance at any tested setting.

The GPU's benchmark performance places it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44795. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile with a delta of -0.8%, the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT with a delta of -1.3%, and the Intel Arc A730M with a delta of -1.7%. The RTX 4070 Ti outperforms the RTX 5090 Mobile by 0.8% in the average benchmark score, which is a notable result given the mobile chip's higher power envelope in some configurations. The GPU's 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 208.8 GPixel/s pixel rate are reflected in the high frame rates observed at 1080p and 1440p.

This is a playable frame rate for most users, and the combo's ranking reflects its ability to maintain high performance across the entire settings spectrum.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the Low preset, the average FPS drops from 326 at 1080p to 211 at 1440p, a 35% reduction, and then to 113 at 4K, a further 46% reduction from the 1440p figure. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the limiting component, as the pixel count increases by 1.78x from 1080p to 1440p and by 2.25x from 1440p to 4K, while the frame rate drops by 35% and 46% respectively.

The Medium preset shows a similar trend, with average FPS dropping from 250 at 1080p to 161 at 1440p (a 36% reduction) and then to 87 at 4K (a 46% reduction from 1440p). The High preset follows the same pattern, with 210 FPS at 1080p, 135 FPS at 1440p (a 36% drop), and 73 FPS at 4K (a 46% drop). The Ultra preset has the most significant scaling, with 160 FPS at 1080p, 103 FPS at 1440p (a 36% drop), and 56 FPS at 4K (a 46% drop).

The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the GPU's rendering workload scales uniformly with resolution, regardless of the quality preset. This is a strong indicator of GPU-bound performance. The CPU's role becomes more apparent at 1080p where the frame rates are highest, but even at 326 FPS, the Ryzen 5 7400F is not the bottleneck, as the 4K Low result of 113 FPS is still well above the CPU's multi-threading limits for this title. The resolution scaling data confirms that the RTX 4070 Ti is the limiting component for this combo, particularly at 4K where the pixel throughput demands exceed the GPU's capabilities at high settings.
