Minimum

The Intel Core i5-11400F and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a performance profile defined by a strong, balanced pairing for the 2014 third-person shooter Minimum. The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread Rocket Lake part with a 2.60 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost clock, provides ample processing headroom. Its benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 14372 and a single-core score of 2029, indicate a processor that can handle modern game logic without becoming a bottleneck at standard frame rates. The 12 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 51.2 GB/s further solidify its capability as a solid foundation for gaming workloads. The CPU sits in the 75th percentile among all tested processors, placing it ahead of the majority of its contemporaries.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The i5-11400F's configuration is well-suited for the demands of Minimum. The 6 cores and 12 threads allow for efficient handling of the game's background tasks, physics, and AI, while the high 4.40 GHz boost clock ensures snappy single-threaded performance, which is often critical for frame pacing in third-person shooters. The data indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU's performance is sufficient to keep up with the GPU's output. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 212.9 FPS, a figure that suggests the processor is not the primary constraint. Even when the game's settings are increased to Ultra at the same resolution, the average FPS of 103.5 demonstrates that the CPU can sustain high frame rates without a dramatic performance collapse. The processor's 3DMark scores, including a single-thread score of 868 and a max-threads score of 5652, show a balanced throughput that scales adequately with the game's requirements.

The CPU's performance is consistent with its nearest rivals in the broader benchmark database. The i5-11400F has an average benchmark score of 17181, which is essentially identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (17189) and the Intel Core i5-1240U (17141). The data shows a delta percentage of 0.0% against the Ryzen 7 5700U and 0.2% against the i5-1240U, indicating that while the competition is close, the i5-11400F holds a slight edge over the latter. This level of performance ensures that in Minimum, the CPU provides a stable platform, allowing the GPU to be the primary driver of visual fidelity and resolution scaling.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

Within the specific context of Minimum, this hardware pairing is placed at rank 888 out of 1733 tested combinations. This position places it in the upper half of all tested systems, indicating a solid, above-average performance tier. The ranking is a cumulative result, reflecting how the CPU and GPU interact across the game's various resolution and settings presets. This mid-pack placement suggests that while the combo is not at the top tier for this title, it significantly outperforms the lower half of the field, delivering a smooth experience at most settings. The rank of 888 out of 1733 suggests the system is capable of high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and maintains playable frame rates at higher resolutions, but it is not in the same league as the most powerful, top-tier configurations that would achieve the top ranks. This is a strong result for a mid-range pairing, indicating that the combination of the i5-11400F and the RX 6750 XT is well-balanced for the game's engine.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear trend in how the system scales with resolution. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces an average of 135.7 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings, the frame rate drops to 86.1 FPS, a reduction of approximately 36.6%. This significant drop is a classic indicator that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as the pixel count increases. The trend continues at 3840x2160, where the High preset yields an average of 49.5 FPS, a further substantial decline from the 1440p result. This scaling pattern is consistent across all settings presets. For instance, at Low settings, the frame rate falls from 212.9 FPS at 1080p to 134.8 FPS at 1440p, and then to 71.7 FPS at 4K. The data strongly suggests that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the CPU's performance headroom cannot compensate for the increased rendering load placed on the graphics card. The frame rate drops are directly proportional to the increase in pixel count, a hallmark of GPU-bound scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The benchmark results provide a comprehensive view of the combo's performance across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system excels, delivering high average frame rates across the board. The Low preset achieves 212.9 FPS, Medium reaches 162.3 FPS, High produces 135.7 FPS, and the demanding Ultra preset still manages a very playable 103.5 FPS. These figures indicate that at 1080p, the system is capable of supporting high-refresh-rate monitors even with the most demanding settings. Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong, though the GPU's load becomes more apparent. The Low preset yields 134.8 FPS, Medium hits 105.4 FPS, High produces 86.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 67.5 FPS. While the Ultra preset is still playable, the frame rates show a clear step down from the 1080p results. At 3840x2160, the system is pushed to its limits. The Low preset maintains a respectable 71.7 FPS, but the Medium preset drops to 59.6 FPS, High falls to 49.5 FPS, and the Ultra preset struggles to maintain smoothness with an average of just 34.8 FPS. This data shows that while the system is fully capable of 4K gaming at lower settings, it is not suited for maxed-out 4K gameplay.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the primary driver of the visual output and is the component that dictates performance at higher resolutions. Based on the RDNA 2.0 architecture, the GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a substantial 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is more than sufficient for Minimum's asset requirements, preventing any issues related to texture streaming or memory capacity at 4K. The GPU's clock speeds, with a game clock of 2495 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, allow for high compute throughput. Its 2560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units are responsible for the raw pixel-pushing power. The GPU's FP32 performance of 13.31 TFLOPS provides a strong baseline for the game's shader complexity. The benchmark results show that the GPU is the limiting factor when resolution is increased. The transition from 1080p to 1440p, and then to 4K, shows a direct correlation with the GPU's rendering load. The GPU sits in the 79th percentile among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35327. Its closest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 5600M, scores 35264, a delta of 0.2%, showing the RX 6750 XT is a marginal leader in its performance class. The data shows that the GPU's 12 GB VRAM is ample for this title, as the frame rate drops are more consistent with compute limitations rather than memory exhaustion, ensuring smooth gameplay across all tested settings until the raw pixel count becomes too demanding.
