GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing for Minimum, as evidenced by the frame rate scaling across resolutions. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory provides substantial headroom for the game's texture and geometry demands, while the 256-bit memory bus delivers 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory subsystem is crucial for maintaining consistent frame delivery at higher resolutions, where data throughput becomes more critical.

The GPU's clock behavior shows a base of 2295 MHz and a boost of 2452 MHz, with memory operating at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance of 43.94 TFLOPS indicates the GPU's raw compute capability, which the data suggests is more than sufficient for this game. The RTX 5070 Ti's 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs aligns with its observed performance, where it matches the RTX 4080's average score of 52,085 with a 0% delta.

The GPU's role becomes more pronounced as settings increase. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 342.9 FPS, but at 1080p Ultra, it drops to 169.2 FPS. This 173.7 FPS gap (a 50.7% reduction) demonstrates how the GPU's shading units, TMUs, and ROPs are increasingly taxed by higher quality presets. The GPU's 8,960 shading units and 280 TMUs handle the additional pixel and texture work required by Ultra settings, while the 96 ROPs manage the final output.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data reveals a predictable decline in frame rates as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, though the severity of the drop varies significantly by settings preset. At Low settings, the system delivers 342.9 FPS at 1080p, 221 FPS at 1440p (a 35.6% reduction), and 115.9 FPS at 4K (a 66.2% reduction from 1080p). This substantial drop at 4K Low indicates that even at minimal quality settings, the GPU's pixel throughput becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern shifts with Medium settings: 260 FPS at 1080p, 170.8 FPS at 1440p (a 34.3% reduction), and 91 FPS at 4K (a 65% reduction from 1080p). High settings show similar relative drops: 218.4 FPS at 1080p, 143.3 FPS at 1440p (a 34.4% reduction), and 76.6 FPS at 4K (a 64.9% reduction). Ultra settings follow the same trend: 169.2 FPS at 1080p, 110 FPS at 1440p (a 35% reduction), and 58.2 FPS at 4K (a 65.6% reduction).

The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings presets—roughly 34-36% from 1080p to 1440p and 65-66% from 1080p to 4K—indicates that resolution scaling is primarily GPU-bound. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads provide sufficient processing power to avoid becoming a bottleneck at any tested resolution. The 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth appear adequate for feeding the GPU consistently, as evidenced by the smooth scaling pattern.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data identifies Medium settings as offering the optimal balance between visual quality and performance. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 260 FPS, which is 75.9% higher than Ultra (169.2 FPS) while still providing better visual fidelity than Low (342.9 FPS). The jump from Medium to High at 1080p costs 41.6 FPS (a 16% reduction), while the jump from High to Ultra costs another 49.2 FPS (a 22.5% reduction). This suggests diminishing returns beyond Medium settings.

At 2560x1440, Medium produces 170.8 FPS, which remains well above typical high-refresh-rate display capabilities. High settings at 1440p still deliver 143.3 FPS, but Ultra drops to 110 FPS. For 4K gaming, Medium (91 FPS) provides a playable experience, while High (76.6 FPS) remains acceptable for most users. Ultra at 4K (58.2 FPS) approaches the lower boundary of smooth gameplay.

The performance gap between Low and Medium settings is relatively small compared to the visual improvement. At 1080p, Low delivers 342.9 FPS versus Medium's 260 FPS—a difference of 82.9 FPS (24.2%). At 4K, the difference narrows to 24.9 FPS (Low at 115.9 versus Medium at 91). This pattern suggests that Medium settings extract nearly all the graphical quality the game offers without incurring the steep performance penalties seen at High and Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti achieves a rank of 139 out of 1,733 tested combos in Minimum, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all tested systems. This top-8% placement reflects strong performance across the board, though the data shows the CPU is not the primary driver of this ranking. The Ryzen 7 5700's 84th percentile among CPUs and the RTX 5070 Ti's 87th percentile among GPUs combine to produce a system that exceeds both components' individual standings.

The CPU's nearest rivals—the Intel Core i9-9900K, Core i7-12700H, and Core i7-1370P—all score within 0.8% of the Ryzen 7 5700 in synthetic benchmarks. This tight grouping suggests that any of these CPUs paired with the RTX 5070 Ti would produce similar frame rates in this game. The GPU's performance parity with the RTX 4080 (0% delta) further indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti is the performance ceiling for this class of hardware.

Despite ranking 139th overall, the measured FPS figures show this combo is capable of exceeding 100 FPS at 1440p in all settings presets except Ultra (110 FPS) and 4K in all presets except Ultra (58.2 FPS). This places the combo firmly in the high-performance tier, suitable for competitive play at lower resolutions or immersive single-player experiences at 4K with Medium settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its peak performance: Low settings produce 342.9 FPS, followed by Medium at 260 FPS, High at 218.4 FPS, and Ultra at 169.2 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra represents a 173.7 FPS drop (50.7%), with each incremental settings increase costing between 41.6 and 82.9 FPS. The 1080p results demonstrate the GPU's capability to drive high-refresh-rate monitors at maximum quality settings without dropping below 169 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the measured results show Low at 221 FPS, Medium at 170.8 FPS, High at 143.3 FPS, and Ultra at 110 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 111 FPS (50.2% reduction), consistent with the 1080p scaling pattern. At this resolution, all settings presets maintain frame rates above 100 FPS, making 1440p a sweet spot for this combination—capable of driving 144Hz displays at High settings or 240Hz displays at Medium.

At 3840x2160, the system delivers 115.9 FPS on Low, 91 FPS on Medium, 76.6 FPS on High, and 58.2 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results show the GPU's limits: even at Low settings, the frame rate drops below 120 FPS, and Ultra settings push the system into the 58-60 FPS range. The 57.7 FPS difference between Low and Ultra (49.8%) at 4K is proportionally similar to lower resolutions, confirming that the RTX 5070 Ti's performance scaling is consistent regardless of resolution.
