Minimum

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Minimum with the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER reveals a clear pattern of scaling across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 330.5 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings drops this to 212.9 FPS, a reduction of roughly 36%. At 3840x2160, the Low preset yields 114.6 FPS, which is about 46% lower than the 1440p result and 65% lower than the 1080p figure.

The scaling pattern changes when settings are raised. At Ultra preset, the frame rates are 160.3 FPS (1080p), 103.4 FPS (1440p), and 54 FPS (4K). The drop from 1440p to 4K at Ultra is a steep 48%, indicating that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor at higher resolutions and quality levels. In contrast, the gap between 1080p and 1440p at Ultra is 35%, a smaller relative loss.

The data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the system is likely CPU-bound or at least not fully GPU-limited, given the very high 330.5 FPS figure. As resolution increases to 4K, the rendering load grows substantially, and the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's capabilities become the primary constraint. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is notable: 114.6 FPS versus 54 FPS, a 53% performance penalty for the highest quality preset. This suggests that at 4K, the GPU's pixel throughput, memory bandwidth, and compute resources are heavily taxed, while at 1080p, the CPU's single-thread performance and cache hierarchy play a more significant role in maintaining high frame rates.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael). It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, with 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The benchmark results show strong single-thread performance: a 3DMark single-thread score of 999 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3246. Multi-threaded results are also solid, with Cinebench R23 multi-core at 22992 and PassMark multi-thread at 27058.

In Minimum, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the 330.5 FPS result is high enough that the CPU's thread scheduling and cache latency become relevant. The 7600's 12 threads provide sufficient parallelism for the game's engine, but the game itself is a 2014 title, so it may not scale perfectly across many cores. The single-thread score of 999 in 3DMark suggests that the 7600 excels at lightly-threaded workloads, which is beneficial for a third-person shooter where the main game logic often runs on one or two threads.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the 7600's average benchmark score of 26617 is within 0.3% of the Intel Core i9-11900K (26546) and 0.2% of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (26574). It trails the Intel Core i9-12900HK by 0.2% (26672). These tiny deltas indicate that the 7600 is competitive with these CPUs in general compute, but the 5800X3D's larger cache could theoretically help in cache-sensitive games. However, the measured FPS data for Minimum does not show any specific cache-related advantage or disadvantage—the 7600's scores are simply the ones recorded.

The CPU's 65W TDP and 5 nm process node are efficient, but these are not directly reflected in FPS. The socket is AMD Socket AM5 with DDR5 memory support and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. For a 2014 game, the memory bandwidth is more than sufficient, and the CPU's 32 MB L3 cache helps with repetitive tasks. The boost clock of 5.10 GHz is the key spec for Minimum's frame rate at 1080p, where the game is less likely to be GPU-bound.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a 5 nm Ada Lovelace GPU with 8448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. It has 66 ray tracing cores and 264 tensor cores. The memory subsystem is 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, yielding 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock is 2340 MHz and the boost clock is 2610 MHz, with a pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s. The FP32 compute is 44.10 TFLOPS.

In Minimum, the GPU's VRAM capacity (16 GB) is unlikely to be a limiting factor at any resolution or setting, as the game is from 2014 and does not demand large textures. The memory bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s is more than adequate. The GPU's role becomes dominant at 4K, especially at higher presets. At 4K Ultra, the 54 FPS result is the lowest in the dataset, suggesting that the GPU's shading units and ROP throughput are stretched. The 250.6 GPixel/s pixel rate translates to 4K (3840x2160 = 8.3 million pixels) at roughly 30 Gpixel/s required for 60 FPS, so the GPU has headroom, but the actual game workload includes other effects.

At 1080p Low, the GPU is not the bottleneck, as evidenced by the 330.5 FPS figure. The GPU's boost clock of 2610 MHz helps maintain high frame rates, but the CPU is likely the limiting factor at that resolution. As settings increase, the GPU's texture rate (689.0 GTexel/s) and FP32 compute are engaged more. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 170.2 FPS (330.5 vs 160.3), which shows that the GPU has to do significantly more work per frame at higher settings. At 4K, the same setting change costs 60.6 FPS (114.6 vs 54), meaning the GPU is relatively more taxed at 4K.

The GPU's performance percentile is 86 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 48704. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA CMP 50HX (49071, -0.7% delta) and the NVIDIA RTX A2000 (47915, +1.6% delta). These deltas are small, indicating that the 4070 Ti SUPER is closely matched with its peers in synthetic benchmarks, but in Minimum, the measured FPS is what matters.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 180th out of 1733 tested combos in Minimum. This places it in the top 10.4% of all combos, which is a strong showing. The rank of 180 means that there are 179 other CPU-GPU pairings that achieve higher average FPS across all settings and resolutions in this game. Given that Minimum is a 2014 title, many newer, more powerful combos (e.g., with RTX 50-series GPUs or higher-end CPUs) would likely outrank it, but the 7600 + 4070 Ti SUPER is still in the upper echelon.

The data shows that this combo is well-balanced for the game. At 1080p, it can push well beyond 200 FPS on Low and Medium settings, and still exceed 160 FPS on Ultra. At 1440p, it delivers over 100 FPS on all presets, with Low hitting 212.9 FPS. At 4K, it maintains playable frame rates on High (75 FPS) and Medium (88.4 FPS), but drops to 54 FPS on Ultra. The rank of 180 suggests that the combo is not the absolute fastest, but it is far from a bottleneck pairing.

The CPU's percentile (83) and GPU's percentile (86) are similar, which indicates that neither component is dramatically weaker than the other relative to their respective markets. This balance contributes to the combo's solid overall rank. The deltaPct values for the CPU's rivals (all within ±0.3%) and the GPU's rivals (all within ±2.1%) show that swapping to a different component in the same performance tier would not yield significant changes in Minimum's frame rates.
