Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination lands at rank 1051 out of 1733 tested combos in Minimum. This places the pairing in the upper-middle tier of the database, meaning it outperforms roughly 39% of all recorded configurations while trailing the top performers. The CPU’s strong showing in synthetic workloads—an 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs—does not fully translate into a higher combo position, which suggests the GPU is the primary constraint in this title. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D’s nearest rivals, including the AMD EPYC 8024P and Intel Core i9-11900K, post nearly identical average benchmark scores, with delta percentages of just 0.1% in either direction; this confirms the processor is not the differentiator here.

How This Combo Ranks

The 1051st position out of 1733 combos reflects a system that is competent but not exceptional for Minimum. The data indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 65th percentile standing among all GPUs aligns closely with the combo’s overall placement, reinforcing that the graphics card dictates the experience. The CPU’s synthetic lead—its average benchmark score of 26574 slightly edges out the Intel Core i9-11900K’s 26546 and the AMD EPYC 8024P’s 26555—does not boost the combo rank because the game’s frame rates are bound by the GPU at higher settings. Interestingly, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600, a newer and more efficient part, scores 26617, which is 0.2% higher than the 5800X3D, yet the combo rank remains similar because the GPU workload dominates. The Intel Core i9-12900HK’s 26672 score, 0.4% above this CPU, also fails to change the narrative: in Minimum, the processor has ample headroom, and the bottleneck is clearly elsewhere.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock of 1605 MHz and boost clock of 1770 MHz, paired with a 12 nm Turing architecture, provide the rendering muscle for this title. The GPU’s 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs handle the game’s third-person action sequences, but the data shows that the 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, while 4K Ultra pushes the card to its limits. The GPU’s nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307 in average benchmarks, which is 0.5% higher, while the older GTX TITAN Z trails by 0.9% at 22006; these small deltas indicate the 2070 SUPER sits in a dense performance cluster. The RTX 4060 Mobile, despite being a laptop part, outperforms it by 2.3% with a score of 22729, showing how newer architectures extract more efficiency. In Minimum, the GPU’s compute capability—9.062 TFLOPS FP32—becomes the limiting factor, especially when settings rise, as frame rates drop disproportionately compared to resolution scaling.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling. At 1080p High, the combo delivers 120.4 FPS, which drops to 78.4 FPS at 1440p High—a 34.8% reduction—and further to 44.5 FPS at 4K High, a 63.1% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are insufficient to maintain performance as pixel count increases. At Low settings, the scaling is slightly less severe: 185.2 FPS at 1080p falls to 120.8 FPS at 1440p (a 34.8% drop) and 65.4 FPS at 4K (a 64.7% drop). The consistency of these percentage drops across settings confirms that resolution, not graphical complexity, is the primary stressor. The CPU’s 96 MB of L3 cache and 8-core, 16-thread configuration never appear to stall the pipeline; even at 1080p Low, where CPU overhead is highest, the 185.2 FPS result shows no processor limitation. The data suggests that 1440p is the practical ceiling for smooth gameplay, while 4K requires substantial setting reductions to remain playable.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, the Medium preset at 1440p emerges as the optimal choice from the measured rows. At 2560x1440 Medium, the combo achieves 94.1 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold while retaining moderate visual quality. Dropping to Low at the same resolution yields 120.8 FPS, a 28.4% improvement, but the visual hit may not justify the gain for most players. At 1080p, High settings at 120.4 FPS provide an excellent experience, and Medium at 147 FPS offers a smoother alternative without significant visual degradation. The Ultra preset is the outlier: at 4K it produces only 32.6 FPS, which is below playable standards, and even at 1440p it manages just 59.3 FPS, barely touching 60. The data indicates that Ultra is reserved for 1080p, where 91.7 FPS is still viable, but the diminishing returns from High to Ultra are not worth the performance cost. For 4K users, Low at 65.4 FPS is the only reasonable option, though it compromises the game’s visual presentation severely.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 185.2 FPS, Medium reaches 147 FPS, and High hits 120.4 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 91.7 FPS, which still clears the 90 FPS mark but shows a 23.8% reduction from High. These numbers indicate that 1080p is well within the GPU’s comfort zone, with even Ultra remaining playable. The 5800X3D’s single-thread score of 3397 in Cinebench R23 and 884 in 3DMark single-thread ensures that the CPU never becomes a constraint at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down predictably. Low settings yield 120.8 FPS, a 34.8% drop from 1080p Low, while Medium produces 94.1 FPS and High 78.4 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 59.3 FPS, which is marginal for competitive play but acceptable for casual sessions. The gap between High and Ultra at this resolution is 19.1 FPS, highlighting that the final settings tier carries a steep penalty. The GPU’s 448.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes a limiting factor here, as the increased pixel count demands more memory throughput.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2070 SUPER struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings deliver 65.4 FPS, which is adequate, but Medium drops to 50.8 FPS and High to 44.5 FPS. Ultra is the worst performer at 32.6 FPS, rendering it unusable for smooth gameplay. The step from Low to Medium at 4K costs 14.6 FPS, a 22.3% reduction, while the leap from Medium to High costs another 6.3 FPS. These results confirm that 4K is only feasible with the lowest settings, and even then, the 65.4 FPS average leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and 256-bit bus are simply outpaced by the 4K resolution, and the CPU’s capabilities—evidenced by its 24063 Cinebench R23 multi-core score—cannot compensate for the graphics card’s limitations.
