Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers measured performance in the third-person shooter Minimum. The combo ranks 973rd out of 1,733 tested combinations, with data collected across three resolutions and four quality presets. This analysis breaks down the FPS results, the roles of the CPU and GPU, and provides settings guidance based on the measured numbers.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, average frame rates drop substantially across all presets. At High settings, the 1080p average is 128.4 FPS, falling to 83.7 at 1440p and 45.8 at 4K. The Low preset follows the same trajectory: 202.6 FPS at 1080p, 132.9 at 1440p, and 68.6 at 4K. Medium yields 158.2, 101.7, and 52.2, while Ultra produces 99.9, 63.4, and 36.9. The 4K High average of 45.8 is less than half of the 1080p High average, and the 4K Low average of 68.6 is roughly a third of the 1080p Low value. The gap between 1440p and 4K is more pronounced than between 1080p and 1440p across all presets, indicating that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises. This scaling is consistent with a title where higher resolutions place increasing strain on the graphics card, while the CPU maintains sufficient headroom at lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. It features 16 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 20,755 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,930 in single-core, along with 8,970 in Geekbench multi-core and 2,016 in single-core. Its average benchmark score is 25,626, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it sits within 0.6% of the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (25,706, -0.3%), Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25,532, +0.4%), Intel Core 5 210H (25,490, +0.5%), and AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (25,485, +0.6%). For Minimum, the measured 1080p Low average of 202.6 FPS demonstrates that the CPU can feed the GPU at high frame rates. The strong single-thread performance, evidenced by the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,930, is likely beneficial for a 2014 title that may not scale across many cores, allowing the processor to keep up with the GPU at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1830 MHz with a boost of 2460 MHz, and memory runs at 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective). The GPU has 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 24 RT cores, and 96 tensor cores. Its passmark G3D score is 19,545, and it holds the 66th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23,181. Nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (23,321, -0.6%), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (23,338, -0.7%), Intel Arc B580 (23,021, +0.7%), and AMD Radeon 760M (22,999, +0.8%). The launch MSRP is 299 USD. In Minimum, the GPU's limits become apparent at 4K: the Ultra preset averages 36.9 FPS, the lowest measured, while High and Medium are 45.8 and 52.2. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a consideration for high-resolution textures, though the FPS scaling suggests compute performance is the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

FAQ

Settings Recommendations

At 1080p, the Ultra preset is fully playable at 99.9 FPS, so there is no need to lower settings for a smooth experience. For 1440p, High at 83.7 FPS offers a good balance, while Ultra at 63.4 FPS is still acceptable for many players. At 4K, the Low preset is the only one that reaches 68.6 FPS; Medium and High are 52.2 and 45.8, respectively, and Ultra drops to 36.9. Given the measured data, the recommended presets are Ultra for 1080p, High for 1440p, and Low for 4K to maintain the highest average FPS at each resolution.
