Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers a consistently strong experience in Minimum, with the data showing that the Ultra preset is the only setting tier that risks dropping below high-refresh-rate territory at 1440p and 4K. For the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate, the Medium preset is the clear recommendation, offering a substantial performance buffer over High while still providing a significant upgrade over Low settings.

Settings Recommendations

Benchmark results indicate that the Medium preset provides the optimal experience for this hardware pairing. At 1080p, Medium delivers an average of 237 FPS, which is 38 FPS higher than the High preset's 199 FPS. This gap widens at higher resolutions: at 1440p, Medium achieves 153 FPS compared to High's 128 FPS, and at 4K, Medium produces 82 FPS versus High's 69 FPS. The Medium preset also includes the only recorded minimum FPS data across all settings, with a 1080p minimum of 202 FPS and a 1440p minimum of 130 FPS, indicating excellent frame pacing stability.

The Ultra preset, while visually superior, imposes a heavy performance cost that is difficult to justify for competitive play. At 1080p, Ultra averages 152 FPS, which is 47 FPS lower than High and 85 FPS lower than Medium. The situation becomes more critical at 1440p, where Ultra drops to 98 FPS, and at 4K, where it falls to 53 FPS. Given that this is a Third-Person Shooter, maintaining a high and consistent frame rate is paramount, making the Ultra preset's 4K performance particularly unsuitable for gameplay.

Conversely, the Low preset offers maximum performance but sacrifices too much visual quality. While it achieves 310 FPS at 1080p, 200 FPS at 1440p, and 108 FPS at 4K, the jump from Low to Medium is only 73 FPS at 1080p, 47 FPS at 1440p, and 26 FPS at 4K. The performance gain from Medium to Low is therefore less significant than the visual quality loss, making Medium the superior choice for most users. For those with high-refresh-rate 1080p monitors seeking absolute maximum frame rates, Low is viable, but the data supports Medium as the default recommendation for a balanced experience.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for Minimum, with its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth proving more than sufficient for the game's demands. The GPU's 7168 shading units, operating at a boost clock of 2475 MHz, deliver the raw compute power that drives the high frame rates observed in the benchmark data. The card's 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is clearly being leveraged effectively, as even the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K manages an average of 53 FPS.

The GPU's memory configuration plays a critical role in the game's performance scaling. The 192-bit memory bus and 12 GB capacity are not bottlenecks at any tested resolution, as evidenced by the smooth scaling from 1080p to 4K. The RTX 4070 SUPER's position in the market is reinforced by its benchmark scores, with a PassMark G3D score of 29995 and a percentile ranking of 83 among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile, scores 43667 in the average benchmark, a 1% difference that highlights the desktop card's competitive standing.

The GPU's Ada Lovelace architecture and 5 nm process node contribute to its efficiency, but the data focuses on its output. The card's 80 ROPs and 224 TMUs are well-utilized in Minimum, as the game appears to be heavily GPU-bound at all resolutions. The RTX 4070 SUPER's performance in the 4K Medium preset, delivering 82 FPS, demonstrates that it has ample headroom for this title, while the 4K Ultra result of 53 FPS shows the limits of its capabilities when all visual features are enabled.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic GPU-bound scenario. At Medium settings, the performance drops from 237 FPS at 1080p to 153 FPS at 1440p, a 35.4% reduction, and then to 82 FPS at 4K, a further 46.4% reduction from 1440p. This pattern indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary limiting factor as resolution increases, with the CPU's role diminishing at higher pixel counts.

The High preset shows a similar scaling trend. From 199 FPS at 1080p, the frame rate drops to 128 FPS at 1440p (a 35.7% decrease) and then to 69 FPS at 4K (a 46.1% decrease from 1440p). This consistent scaling pattern across settings confirms that the game's performance is overwhelmingly dependent on GPU throughput rather than memory bandwidth or CPU limitations. The 4K Ultra result of 53 FPS represents the most demanding scenario, where the GPU is fully saturated.

The Low preset exhibits the most dramatic scaling, with 310 FPS at 1080p, 200 FPS at 1440p, and 108 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p drop of 110 FPS (35.5%) is proportionally similar to other settings, but the absolute numbers highlight how much headroom the GPU has at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the game is likely hitting engine-level frame rate limits or experiencing slight CPU bottlenecks, as the GPU's capabilities are not fully taxed. The scaling data overall points to the RTX 4070 SUPER being the sole performance arbiter, with the Ryzen 7 5700X providing ample support.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the RTX 4070 SUPER and Ryzen 7 5700X combination produces exceptional results across all settings. The Low preset leads with 310 FPS, followed by Medium at 237 FPS, High at 199 FPS, and Ultra at 152 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum FPS of 202 and maximum of 273 indicate a tight frame delivery window, suggesting excellent consistency. The High preset's 199 FPS is notable for being just shy of the 200 FPS mark, while Ultra remains above the 144 Hz threshold for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Moving to 1440p, the performance remains highly playable across the board. Low settings deliver 200 FPS, Medium achieves 153 FPS, High produces 128 FPS, and Ultra maintains 98 FPS. The Medium preset again shows the most complete data, with a minimum of 130 FPS and a maximum of 176 FPS. These numbers demonstrate that 1440p is the sweet spot for this hardware, as even the Ultra preset remains above 60 FPS, and High settings comfortably exceed 120 FPS for smooth gameplay.

At 4K, the demands on the GPU become apparent. The Low preset still delivers a respectable 108 FPS, but Medium drops to 82 FPS, High to 69 FPS, and Ultra to 53 FPS. The Medium preset's data includes a minimum of 70 FPS and maximum of 95 FPS, showing that even at 4K, the frame delivery is stable. The Ultra preset's 53 FPS average is the only result that falls below the 60 FPS standard, indicating that 4K Ultra is not a viable option for this game with this hardware combination. The 4K High result of 69 FPS, while playable, is noticeably less fluid than the 1440p results.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 644 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum, placing it in the top 17.4% of all configurations. This ranking is a strong indicator of the combo's overall capability for this specific game, situating it well above the median performance tier. The data shows that this pairing is positioned for high-end 1440p gaming and capable 4K performance, which aligns with the measured FPS results.

The combo's ranking is largely driven by the RTX 4070 SUPER's strong performance, as the GPU's percentile ranking of 83 among all GPUs is higher than the CPU's percentile rank of 79. The GPU's avgBenchmarkScore of 43223 is closely matched by its nearest rivals, with the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scoring 43262 (a 0.1% difference) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scoring 43268 (also a 0.1% difference). This tight grouping suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER is performing exactly as expected for its class.

The combo's rank of 644 indicates that while it is not at the very top of the performance charts, it is firmly in the upper echelon. The substantial number of combos ranked below it (3068) demonstrates that this configuration significantly outperforms the majority of tested systems in Minimum. The gap between this combo and the top-ranked systems is likely due to more powerful GPUs, but the data confirms that the Ryzen 7 5700X and RTX 4070 SUPER provide a high level of performance that will satisfy most gamers.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X plays a supporting role in this game, but its capabilities are more than sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 4070 SUPER. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, the CPU provides ample processing power for Minimum's game logic and physics. The CPU's boost clock of 4.60 GHz and base clock of 3.40 GHz, combined with a 32 MB shared L3 cache, ensure that it can keep up with the GPU's high frame output.

The CPU's benchmark scores confirm its competence. A Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13184 and a single-core score of 1499 indicate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The Geekbench multicore score of 10779 and single-core score of 2016 further validate its capabilities. The CPU's percentile ranking of 79 among all CPUs places it in the upper tier of processors, and its avgBenchmarkScore of 27578 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, including the Intel Core i5-12600K with a 0% delta and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 with a 0.2% delta.

In the context of Minimum, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with data. At 1080p with Low settings, where the game is less GPU-bound, the CPU's performance becomes more relevant, and the 310 FPS result indicates that the Ryzen 7 5700X can handle even the most demanding frame rate scenarios. The fact that the FPS scales consistently with resolution changes points to the GPU being the limiting factor, not the CPU. The CPU's 65 W TDP and support for DDR4 memory are adequate for this game, and its 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs ensures it will not hold back the RTX 4070 SUPER in any scenario measured in the data.
