Minimum

Minimum is a Third-Person Shooter released on 2014-06-25. The measured configuration in this database row is the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile. The FPS data is marked as measured, and this combination ranks 1228 out of 3712 tested combos in Minimum. The table includes average FPS for 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings, with min/max values recorded for Medium only.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution scaling is clear from the measured rows. On Low settings, the average FPS is 256 at 1920x1080, 165 at 2560x1440, and 89 at 3840x2160. On Medium settings, the average FPS is 196, 126, and 68 across the same resolutions. High settings produce 164, 106, and 57. Ultra settings produce 125, 81, and 43. Every preset follows the same pattern: 1080p produces the highest average, 1440p is next, and 4K has the lowest average.

The step from 1440p to 4K is particularly expensive in this dataset. High falls from 106 at 1440p to 57 at 4K. Medium falls from 126 at 1440p to 68 at 4K. Ultra falls from 81 at 1440p to 43 at 4K. Low falls from 165 at 1440p to 89 at 4K. The 4K High average of 57 sits below the 4K Medium minimum of 58 in this measured data. That is a meaningful row-by-row comparison: the High preset at 4K is not maintaining the same floor as Medium.

At the low-resolution end, the same configuration reaches very high frame rates. 1080p Low averages 256 FPS, and 1080p Ultra still averages 125 FPS. The large drop between 125 FPS at 1080p Ultra and 43 FPS at 4K Ultra happens without any CPU change. The measured behavior points to the GPU as the controlling component as resolution rises. A CPU-limited result would not show this degree of movement across resolutions. Instead, the frame-rate collapse at 4K is tied to increased GPU pixel work.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile in this row uses the AD104 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture on a 5 nm process. Its core configuration includes 7424 shading units, 232 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 58 RT cores, and 232 tensor cores. The base clock is 1290 MHz and the boost clock is 1665 MHz. Memory is 12 GB GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, with a memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. The GPU has 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, with a 110 W TDP.

The aggregate GPU benchmark score for this card is 38135, with a Passmark G3D score of 24926, placing it in the 81st percentile versus all GPUs. Its nearest listed rivals in the database are NVIDIA GeForce MX570 (avgScore 38299, deltaPct -0.4), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile (avgScore 38349, deltaPct -0.6), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 (avgScore 37648, deltaPct 1.3), and NVIDIA Tesla P4 (avgScore 37628, deltaPct 1.3). Those rival rows are aggregate scores, not Minimum-specific FPS data.

The GPU's memory configuration is part of the measured 4K picture. At 4K Low, this 12 GB / 432.0 GB/s setup averages 89 FPS. At 4K Medium, it averages 68 FPS with a 58 minimum and 78 maximum. At 4K High, it averages 57 FPS. At 4K Ultra, it averages 43 FPS. Since Low can reach 89 FPS at the same resolution, the frame buffer is not an absolute limit in these rows. The biggest FPS drop comes when the preset moves to Ultra, which adds the heaviest GPU workload in the measured set. At 1080p, the same GPU produces 256 FPS on Low and 196 FPS on Medium, so the card has substantial headroom at lower pixel counts.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows favor Medium as the balanced preset in Minimum. At 3840x2160, Medium averages 68 FPS, with a 58 minimum and 78 maximum. That is above the 4K High average of 57 and well above the 4K Ultra average of 43. Low at 4K reaches 89 FPS, but it does so by using the lower-quality setting tier. For a 4K row that stays above the 58 FPS minimum already shown by Medium, Medium is the highest measured preset that fits that result.

At 2560x1440, Medium averages 126 FPS, with a 107 minimum and 145 maximum. High averages 106 FPS, and Ultra averages 81 FPS. Medium keeps a comfortable margin over High while still staying well below the 165 FPS Low result. At 1920x1080, Medium averages 196 FPS, with a 166 minimum and 225 maximum. High averages 164 FPS, which is below Medium's 166 minimum. Ultra averages 125 FPS, and Low averages 256 FPS. The 1080p Medium row has the frame headroom to justify choosing Medium over High or Ultra, unless image-quality settings matter more than frame rate.

If maximum visual quality is the priority, Ultra is still useful at 1080p with 125 FPS and at 1440p with 81 FPS. The 4K Ultra average of 43 FPS is the lowest measured value in the table, so it is not a practical choice for smooth play in the 4K rows. The recommendation from the data is clear: Medium provides the best measured balance across all three resolutions in this game.

The ordering is identical at every resolution: Low has the highest average, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. Medium is the only preset with measured min/max values in the dataset; Low, High, and Ultra min/max fields are null.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX is a 16-core, 32-thread mobile processor from the 8000 series. It uses Zen 4 architecture with the Dragon Range codename and is built by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The die is 2x 71 mm² with 13,140 million transistors, and the socket is AMD Socket FL1. The base clock is 2.50 GHz and the boost clock is 5.40 GHz, with a 55 W TDP. Cache is 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 64 MB L3. It supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth and includes Radeon 610M integrated graphics.

The CPU's benchmark results place it in the 95th percentile versus all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 76212. Cinebench R23 multicore is 42713 and single-core is 6030. Cinebench R20 multicore is 17939 and single-core is 2532. PassMark MultiThread is 51405 and Single Thread is 3907. Additional PassMark scores include integer math 195180, floating point math 117453, data compression 677755, and data encryption 40836.

These CPU numbers matter for the Minimum results because the low-resolution rows are not showing GPU pressure. At 1080p Low, the measured average is 256 FPS. At 1080p Medium, it is 196 FPS. At 1080p Ultra, it is 125 FPS. Those are high frame rates for a game released on 2014-06-25, and they require a processor that can feed frames quickly. The 6030 single-core Cinebench R23 result and 3907 PassMark Single Thread score indicate strong per-core performance in this mobile part.

At 4K, the same CPU is paired with the same GPU, but the FPS drops to 89 on Low, 68 on Medium, 57 on High, and 43 on Ultra. Since the CPU does not change between 1080p and 4K, the measured drop is best explained by the GPU's resolution workload. The CPU is not the limiting component in the high-resolution rows. Near the top of the FPS table, however, the 8945HX's multi-thread and single-thread capacity supports the very high 1080p numbers recorded for Low and Medium. The aggregate rival data reinforces that position: the 8945HX's 76212 average score sits close to Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX at 76155, AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P at 76492, AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX at 76513, and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D at 75779.
