Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a strong 1080p and 1440p experience in Minimum, a 2014 third-person shooter. The data shows this pairing is well balanced, with the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck only at 4K Ultra settings. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, component roles, and what the numbers mean for your build.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Cezanne) using TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features a 16 MB L3 cache and 512 KB L2 cache per core. It supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. While it includes integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics, this analysis focuses on its performance alongside the discrete RX 6750 XT.

In Minimum, the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient to feed the GPU at 1080p. The benchmark results show that at 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo achieves 138.6 FPS average. The processor's single-thread performance, as indicated by a 3DMark single-thread score of 899, is adequate for this game's engine. The 5700G's multithreaded capability, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755, ensures that background tasks do not interfere with gameplay. The CPU sits in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25626. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, scores 25706, which is only 0.3% higher, indicating the 5700G is competitive in its class. The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU is not the limiting factor, as FPS scales strongly with GPU settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks 853rd out of 1733 tested combos in Minimum. This places it in the middle of the pack, which is expected for a mid-range pairing. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU; neither component is so weak that it severely drags down the other, nor so strong that it is wasted. The 5700G's 83rd percentile CPU ranking and the RX 6750 XT's 79th percentile GPU ranking are relatively close, suggesting a well-matched duo.

Compared to other tested combos, this pairing offers a solid baseline for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The measured FPS results, which will be detailed below, show that the combo can handle high refresh rate 1080p and smooth 1440p gameplay. However, it falls short of top-tier configurations, as indicated by its 853rd rank. The data suggests that this combo is a practical choice for gamers who want consistent performance without the need for extreme settings at 4K. The rank also implies that there are many combos with faster GPUs or newer CPUs that achieve higher scores, but the 5700G + RX 6750 XT remains a capable and coherent pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the system scales from 1080p to 4K, which indicates which component becomes the bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 216.9 FPS average. This high frame rate suggests the CPU is still able to feed the GPU, but the GPU is not fully saturated. Moving to 1440p Low, the average FPS drops to 135.5, a significant decrease that shows the GPU is now doing more work. At 4K Low, the average FPS falls to 73.9, confirming that the RX 6750 XT is the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The pattern is consistent across all settings. At 1080p High, the average is 138.6 FPS, while 1440p High drops to 85.3 FPS, and 4K High falls to 50.9 FPS. The frame rate reduction from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 38%, and from 1080p to 4K it is roughly 63% (based on the High settings). This steep drop-off indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute power are being maxed out at 4K. The RX 6750 XT has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. While this is ample for 1440p, 4K Ultra places a heavy load on the 2560 shading units, causing the average FPS to plummet to 34.2. The data clearly shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck at any resolution; the GPU is the determining factor once you increase resolution or settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table summarizes the exact average FPS measurements for each resolution and settings combination in Minimum:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 50.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 73.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 57.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 34.2 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 85.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 135.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 103.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 66.6 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 138.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 216.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 165.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 106.1 |

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers excellent performance. Even at Ultra settings, the average FPS of 106.1 is smooth for a third-person shooter. Low settings push the frame rate to 216.9 FPS, which is well beyond the refresh rate of most monitors. This resolution is clearly where the system shines, offering a wide margin for high refresh rate displays.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong. Ultra settings produce 66.6 FPS average, which is playable, while High settings at 85.3 FPS are ideal for a 144Hz monitor. Low settings at 135.5 FPS are close to hitting 144Hz. The GPU's 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for this resolution, and the data shows no signs of memory throttling.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain high frame rates. Ultra settings drop to 34.2 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. High settings at 50.9 FPS are borderline, and only Low settings at 73.9 FPS approach smoothness. The 4K Ultra result indicates that the RX 6750 XT is overburdened, and the 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is insufficient for this demanding configuration.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a RDNA 2.0 architecture GPU, based on the Navi 22 chip, fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm process. It features 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, along with 40 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2150 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, with a game clock of 2495 MHz. It has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card's pixel rate is 166.4 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 416.0 GTexel/s. It supports PCIe 4.0 x16 and has a TDP of 250 W.

In Minimum, the GPU's role is critical. The benchmark scores show it ranks in the 79th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35327. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 5600M, which scores 35264 (0.2% lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, which scores 35787 (1.3% higher). The RX 6750 XT's performance is solidly mid-range, and the measured FPS data reflects this. At 1080p, the GPU is powerful enough to push high frame rates, but at 4K Ultra, its limitations are exposed. The 12 GB VRAM is a key asset, allowing for high-resolution textures without running out of memory, but the raw compute power is not enough for 4K Ultra in this title. The data indicates that for Minimum, the GPU is the component that dictates performance at higher resolutions, while the CPU does not impede it.
