Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER pairing delivers a versatile 1080p experience in Minimum, with the data showing a clear sweet spot at Medium settings. At 1920x1080, Medium produces 146.4 FPS, which is 55.8 FPS higher than High settings and 23.8 FPS higher than Ultra. While Low pushes performance to 187.8 FPS, the jump from Medium to Low yields diminishing returns compared to the visual uplift lost. For 2560x1440, Medium again provides the best balance at 91.6 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold and 31.4 FPS ahead of High's 76.9 FPS. At 3840x2160, the story shifts: Medium drops to 49.3 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced third-person shooting. High at 4K manages 44.4 FPS, while Ultra falls to 35.1 FPS. The data indicates that Medium is the optimal preset for this combo across all resolutions, offering the highest frame rate that remains visually coherent without the steep performance tax of High or Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results point decisively to Medium as the recommended preset for this hardware combination. At 1080p, Medium delivers 146.4 FPS, which is 41 FPS higher than High and 55.8 FPS higher than Ultra. This gap widens at higher resolutions: at 1440p, Medium achieves 91.6 FPS versus 76.9 FPS on High and 60.2 FPS on Ultra. The performance difference between Medium and Low is 41.4 FPS at 1080p and 32.1 FPS at 1440p, but Low sacrifices substantial visual fidelity for that gain. Given that the RTX 2070 SUPER sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs and the Ryzen 7 5700 in the 84th percentile of CPUs, Medium leverages the hardware efficiently without pushing either component into bottleneck territory. At 4K, Medium's 49.3 FPS is the only preset above 45 FPS besides Low's 66.8 FPS, making it the highest-quality option that remains playable. Players prioritizing competitive frame rates should consider Low, but for the best blend of image quality and responsiveness, Medium is the clear winner.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific configuration ranks 1045 out of 1733 tested combos in Minimum, placing it in the upper-middle tier of all pairings evaluated. The percentile positioning of the individual components explains this ranking: the Ryzen 7 5700 outperforms 84% of all CPUs, while the RTX 2070 SUPER outperforms 65% of all GPUs. The CPU's relative strength is notable, as its average benchmark score of 27220 sits just 0.7% above the Intel Core i9-9900K and 0.8% above the Intel Core i7-12700H. The GPU, with an average score of 22206, trails the NVIDIA RTX A400 by 0.5% but leads the AMD Radeon RX 5700 by 2.5%. This CPU-heavy balance suggests that in Minimum, the RTX 2070 SUPER is likely the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the Ryzen 7 5700 has headroom to spare. The 1733-combo pool includes many modern pairings, so this 2019-era GPU paired with a 2022 CPU holds its own but cannot compete with flagship combinations. The rank of 1045 indicates that roughly 60% of tested combos outperform this setup, which is consistent with the GPU's mid-pack standing.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Minimum?*

A: The data shows 2560x1440 on Medium as the strongest overall option, delivering 91.6 FPS. This resolution provides a significant visual upgrade over 1080p while maintaining frame rates well above 60 FPS, unlike 4K where even Medium only reaches 49.3 FPS.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 5700's average benchmark score of 27220 places it 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i9-9900K and 0.8% ahead of both the Intel Core i7-12700H and Intel Core i7-1370P. It leads the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 by 1.2%.

Q: Is the RTX 2070 SUPER a bottleneck at 4K?

A: The benchmark results suggest yes. At 3840x2160, the best quality preset that stays above 45 FPS is Low at 66.8 FPS. Medium drops to 49.3 FPS, and High falls to 44.4 FPS, indicating the GPU struggles to maintain fluid frame rates at 4K with higher settings.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, Low achieves 187.8 FPS, while Ultra reaches 90.6 FPS. This represents a 97.2 FPS difference, meaning Ultra delivers roughly half the frame rate of Low. Medium sits at 146.4 FPS, a 41.4 FPS drop from Low but a 55.8 FPS gain over Ultra.

Q: How does this combo's ranking compare to its component strengths?

A: The combo ranks 1045 out of 1733 tested pairings. While the CPU sits in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, the GPU is in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. This suggests the GPU drags down the overall ranking, as the CPU alone would place much higher.

Q: Does the CPU's multithreading performance show up in game benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700 scores 20655 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 24303 in PassMark multithread, showing strong synthetic performance. However, the measured FPS in Minimum indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher settings and resolutions, so the CPU's headroom is not fully utilized.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce 187.8 FPS, while Medium reaches 146.4 FPS. High manages 122.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 90.6 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 97.2 FPS, demonstrating that settings choice has a massive impact at this resolution. Moving to 2560x1440, Low achieves 123.7 FPS, Medium hits 91.6 FPS, High reaches 76.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 60.2 FPS. The resolution jump from 1080p to 1440p costs 64.1 FPS on Low, 54.8 FPS on Medium, 45.7 FPS on High, and 30.4 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the numbers compress significantly: Low delivers 66.8 FPS, Medium 49.3 FPS, High 44.4 FPS, and Ultra 35.1 FPS. The 4K Ultra figure is 152.7 FPS lower than 1080p Low, highlighting the GPU's limitations at extreme resolutions. Across all resolutions, the gap between Medium and High remains consistent: 23.8 FPS at 1080p, 14.7 FPS at 1440p, and 4.9 FPS at 4K. This narrowing gap suggests that at higher resolutions, the GPU is already saturated, and settings adjustments yield smaller absolute differences.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a GPU-bound workload. At Medium settings, performance falls from 146.4 FPS at 1080p to 91.6 FPS at 1440p, then to 49.3 FPS at 4K. This represents a 37.4% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 66.3% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The Low preset shows a similar pattern: 187.8 FPS at 1080p drops to 123.7 FPS at 1440p and 66.8 FPS at 4K, a 64.4% total reduction. Interestingly, the High preset shows the smallest absolute drop from 1440p to 4K, falling from 76.9 FPS to 44.4 FPS, a 32.5 FPS difference. This scaling behavior indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become increasingly strained as pixel count rises. The CPU, with its 16 MB of L3 cache and 8 cores, has ample processing power for this 2014 title, as evidenced by the 187.8 FPS at 1080p Low, which suggests the GPU still has overhead at lower resolutions. The 4K Ultra result of 35.1 FPS, which is 52.5 FPS below 1080p Ultra's 90.6 FPS, confirms that this resolution pushes the GPU beyond its comfortable operating range. Players targeting 4K should stick to Low settings, where 66.8 FPS remains playable, or consider dropping to 1440p Medium for a 91.6 FPS experience with better visual quality. The data overall points to 1440p as the resolution ceiling for this combo at higher settings, with 4K reserved for competitive play on Low.
