Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X plus NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti combination was measured directly in Minimum, a Third-Person Shooter released in 2014. The dataset marks this combo as 158th out of 1733 tested combinations for the game, and every FPS value in the following sections comes from those measured rows.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor in AMD's 9000 series. It uses Zen 5 architecture and the Granite Ridge codename, manufactured on TSMC's 4 nm process. The base clock is 3.90 GHz and the boost clock is 5.40 GHz. Cache amounts to 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. It runs on the AM5 socket, supports dual-channel DDR5, and has a 65 W TDP. PCIe support is Gen 5 with 24 lanes.

Benchmark results put it at the 85th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 28246. Single-thread results include a 3DMark single-thread score of 1253, Passmark single thread of 4570, Cinebench R23 single-core of 3603, and Geekbench single-core of 3363. Multi-thread results include Cinebench R23 multicore of 25525, Geekbench multicore of 15182, Passmark multithread of 30027, and 3DMark max-threads of 7590. The 3DMark threaded set also shows scaling from 2456 with 2 threads, to 4649 with 4 threads, to 6726 with 8 threads, and 7585 with 16 threads. The nearest listed rivals are the Intel Core i5-13490F at 28173 with deltaPct 0.3, the AMD Ryzen 5 230 at 28164 with deltaPct 0.3, the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS at 28369 with deltaPct -0.4, and the Intel Core i5-14500T at 28377 with deltaPct -0.5. These deltaPct values range from -0.5 to 0.3, so the 9600X sits inside a very tight cluster.

In Minimum, the CPU's relevance shows in the lowest-resolution, lowest-settings row. At 1920x1080 Low, the measured average is 337.8 FPS; at 2560x1440 Low it is still 216.7 FPS. These numbers are well above the 3840x2160 Ultra result of 59.6, and they indicate that the 9600X has enough throughput to avoid holding back the system in lower-load conditions. The launch MSRP was $279.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is built around the GB203 chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture at TSMC's 5 nm process. It runs a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz. Memory is 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, giving 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth; the memory clock is 1750 MHz or 28 Gbps effective. The GPU has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores. FP32 throughput is 43.94 TFLOPS. The board is dual-slot, uses a 1x 16-pin power connector, and has a suggested power supply of 700 W.

Benchmark results include 3DMark Steel Nomad of 6604, Geekbench OpenCL of 231226, Geekbench Vulkan of 227554, Passmark G3D of 32974, and Passmark GPU compute of 20203. The GPU sits at the 87th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 52086. Its nearest listed rivals are the RTX 4080 at 52085 with deltaPct 0, the RX 7700S at 52505 with deltaPct -0.8, the RTX A1000 at 50826 with deltaPct 2.5, and the Radeon Pro W6600M at 53414 with deltaPct -2.5. On average score, the 5070 Ti and the RTX 4080 are effectively tied.

The GPU's role in Minimum is most visible at 3840x2160. The measured values there are 120.5 FPS on Low, 91.1 on Medium, 74.8 on High, and 59.6 on Ultra. That last value is the lowest measured row in the entire dataset, so the GPU is the component that determines whether the highest preset stays playable at the highest resolution. With 16 GB of GDDR7 and 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, memory capacity is not the limiting factor in this data. The launch MSRP was 749 USD.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured scaling is consistent across presets. On Low, average FPS goes from 337.8 at 1920x1080, to 216.7 at 2560x1440, to 120.5 at 3840x2160. On Medium, it goes from 261.3, to 168.3, to 91.1. On High, it goes from 218.3, to 142.7, to 74.8. On Ultra, it goes from 166.4, to 106.4, to 59.6.

Every preset loses a substantial amount of FPS when moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. The drop is visible even at Low, where the GPU has to handle many more pixels as resolution rises. At Medium, the 2560x1440 row is 168.3 and the 3840x2160 row is 91.1. At High, the same steps are 142.7 and 74.8. At Ultra, the 2560x1440 row is 106.4 and the 3840x2160 row is 59.6.

This scaling pattern points to the GPU as the limiting component at high resolutions. At 1920x1080 Low, the CPU can sustain 337.8 FPS; at 3840x2160 Low, the same preset falls to 120.5. The CPU's strong single-thread results, including the 3DMark single-thread score of 1253 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3603, explain why lower resolutions do not show a CPU wall. As resolution climbs, the GPU's rendering load takes over and drives the measured FPS down.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured rows are limited to Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, so the recommendation has to come from those presets. At 3840x2160, High is the strongest measured balance. It produces 74.8 FPS, while Low produces 120.5 and Medium produces 91.1. Ultra produces 59.6, the lowest measured row in the dataset. High is therefore the highest quality preset that stays clearly above that low point.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is usable at 106.4 FPS. High runs at 142.7 and Low at 216.7, so players who want maximum visual quality can choose Ultra without dropping to the bottom of the measured range. At 1920x1080, Low, Medium, High, and Ultra all stay at or above 166.4, meaning the 1920x1080 choice can be driven by visual preference rather than frame rate. Overall, High is the most consistent preset: 218.3 at 1920x1080, 142.7 at 2560x1440, and 74.8 at 3840x2160.
