Minimum

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile combination in Minimum delivers a broad performance envelope, ranging from 48 FPS at 4K Ultra to 280 FPS at 1080p Low. With a 16-core Zen 5 CPU and a 16 GB Ada Lovelace GPU, this pairing sits at rank 834 out of 3,712 tested combinations, placing it ahead of the majority of systems in the database. The measured data shows that the GPU is the primary constraint at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s massive multi-threaded headroom keeps 1080p frame rates extremely high. The following sections break down the GPU and CPU roles, the combo’s overall standing, and the exact FPS at each resolution and preset.

FAQ

Q: What is the GPU’s memory configuration and bandwidth?

A: The RTX 4090 Mobile has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective).

Q: At 4K resolution, what is the FPS difference between Low and Ultra settings?

A: At 3840x2160, Low yields an average of 97 FPS, while Ultra drops to 48 FPS—a 49 FPS gap. Medium sits at 74 FPS and High at 62 FPS.

Q: Which resolution and setting provide the lowest minimum FPS recorded?

A: The only min/max values provided are for Medium settings: at 3840x2160 the min is 63 FPS, at 2560x1440 it is 117 FPS, and at 1920x1080 it is 182 FPS. The lowest minimum is 63 FPS at 4K Medium.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile is the primary driver of frame rate in Minimum at higher resolutions. Its 16 GB GDDR6 frame buffer is more than sufficient for a 2014 title, even at 4K, but the GPU’s compute and memory bandwidth determine how far each preset can stretch. The card runs at a base clock of 1335 MHz and a boost of 1695 MHz, with memory running at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The 576.0 GB/s memory bandwidth feeds 9,728 shading units, 304 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, yielding a pixel rate of 189.8 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 515.3 GTexel/s. These figures explain why the card can push 97 FPS at 4K Low but only 48 FPS at 4K Ultra—the Ultra preset adds shading complexity that the fixed pixel rate cannot fully compensate for.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 43,667, with a percentile ranking of 84 among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000, scores 43,301 (0.8% higher), while the RTX 5050 Mobile is 0.9% higher and the RTX A6000 is 0.9% lower. In game, the 4K Medium result of 74 FPS with a min of 63 and max of 86 shows a comfortable margin over the 60 FPS threshold, while High at 4K drops to 62 FPS—still playable but with less headroom. The 1440p and 1080p results are far less GPU-bound; at 1440p High the card delivers 116 FPS, and at 1080p High it reaches 180 FPS, suggesting the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a 16-core, 32-thread processor built on Zen 5 (Strix Halo) with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost of 5.10 GHz. It features 80 KB L1 cache per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 64 MB shared L3 cache, backed by a quad-channel LPDDR5X memory interface with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its benchmark scores are exceptional: Cinebench R23 multi-core hits 35,314 and single-core 2,044; Geekbench multi-core reaches 20,992 and single-core 2,464. The PassMark multi-thread score is 70,925, and the single-thread score is 4,147. The CPU sits at the 95th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,740.

In Minimum, the CPU’s role becomes clear at 1080p. The measured 1920x1080 Low result of 280 FPS and High result of 180 FPS indicate that the processor can feed the GPU with far more frames than the GPU can render at lower resolutions. Even at 1440p Low, the combo reaches 180 FPS, which is still a high refresh rate. The CPU’s 16 cores and 32 threads are overkill for a 2017 game, but the high single-thread boost (5.10 GHz) and large L3 cache help maintain high frame pacing. The benchmark data shows that the CPU is not a bottleneck in any tested configuration; the frame rates scale inversely with resolution, which is the hallmark of GPU-limited performance. The only exception is at 4K Ultra, where the 48 FPS is clearly a GPU limitation, not a CPU one.

How This Combo Ranks

In the overall Minimum performance database, this pairing sits at rank 834 out of 3,712 tested combinations. That means it is the 834th best result in the database, outperforming 2,878 other combinations (though only the raw 834 and 3,712 are listed). The rank reflects a combination of CPU and GPU strengths—the CPU’s 95th percentile standing and the GPU’s 84th percentile combine to place the system in the upper third of all tested hardware pairings. For comparison, the CPU alone is 1.6% above the Threadripper PRO 9945WX and 1.7% below the i9-14900K, while the GPU is 0.8% above the Quadro M6000 and 0.9% below the RTX A6000. These delta values illustrate that the combo is competitive with high-end workstation parts, but not the absolute top-tier.

The rank of 834 is determined by the aggregate of all measured FPS rows across all resolutions and settings. The strongest results come at 1080p, where the combo reaches 280 FPS on Low, 214 FPS on Medium, 180 FPS on High, and 137 FPS on Ultra. At 1440p, it still exceeds 100 FPS on High (116) and Medium (138), and even at 4K it maintains playable frame rates on Low (97) and Medium (74). The only preset where the combo falls below 60 FPS is 4K Ultra (48 FPS). This distribution explains the mid-tier rank: it is not a top-100 system, but it is comfortably above the median, which is consistent with the GPU’s 84th percentile and CPU’s 95th percentile.

At 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra is 49 FPS (97 vs. 48). The Medium preset provides a solid 74 FPS average with a minimum of 63 FPS, making it the only 4K preset that stays above 60 FPS in the worst case. High is close at 62 FPS but has no min/max data, so its stability is unknown. At 1440p, the scaling is tighter: Medium delivers 138 FPS with a min of 117, while High drops to 116 and Ultra to 88. The 1440p Low result of 180 FPS is the highest recorded at that resolution. At 1080p, all presets exceed 130 FPS; Medium reaches 214 FPS (min 182, max 246) and Low hits 280 FPS, which is the peak for the entire test set. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 137 FPS, still well above typical refresh rates.

Settings Recommendations

For a 60 Hz display at 4K, the Medium preset is the safest choice because it delivers 74 FPS average and a minimum of 63 FPS, guaranteeing no drops below the refresh rate. High also averages 62 FPS but lacks a documented minimum; given the Medium min of 63 FPS, High may drop slightly below 60 in demanding scenes. Ultra should be avoided at 4K because it averages only 48 FPS, which will feel stuttery on a 60 Hz screen. Low at 4K is 97 FPS, but the visual quality loss is unnecessary when Medium is already playable.

At 1440p, the choice depends on the refresh rate. If you have a 144 Hz monitor, Medium is the best fit: 138 FPS average with a 117 FPS minimum, so it will stay near the refresh ceiling. High at 116 FPS is also acceptable, but it is 22 FPS lower and has no min/max guarantee. Ultra at 88 FPS is still playable but below 100 FPS. For a 165 Hz or 180 Hz display, Low at 180 FPS matches the refresh exactly, but Medium is the best balance of quality and speed at 138 FPS.

At 1080p, the CPU and GPU have ample headroom. For 240 Hz monitors, Low (280 FPS) is the only preset that consistently exceeds 240, and Medium (214 FPS) is close but will show occasional dips below the refresh. For 144 Hz, Medium at 214 FPS is overkill; High at 180 FPS is more than enough, and Ultra at 137 FPS still exceeds 144 only marginally. The data indicates that Medium at 1080p provides the best visual quality with a high frame rate (214 FPS) and a strong minimum of 182 FPS, making it the recommended preset for most users. If you prioritize maximum visual fidelity and have a 144 Hz display, Ultra at 137 FPS is just below the refresh limit, so High at 180 FPS is the safer choice.
