Minimum

The Intel Core i5-12400 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti form a combo in Minimum, a 2014 third-person shooter. The measured in-game rank is 1727 out of 1733 combinations. With the CPU in the 77th CPU percentile and the GPU in the 30th GPU percentile, the data immediately points to the graphics card as the defining component in this pairing.

How This Combo Ranks

This combo ranks 1727th out of 1733 measured combinations in Minimum. That places it near the bottom of the in-game table. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 19850, while the GPU’s average benchmark score is 5316. Those two numbers reveal a large performance gap between the components.

The CPU sits in the 77th CPU percentile, which means it is not the reason the combo ranks so low. The GPU sits in the 30th GPU percentile. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 5316 is effectively tied with the GeForce 930A at 5317, with a deltaPct of 0. It is also close to the GeForce 940M at 5297, deltaPct 0.4; the Radeon R7 240 at 5280, deltaPct 0.7; and the Radeon R7 M445 at 5361, deltaPct -0.8. In short, the graphics card is the weak link that drags this combination down to rank 1727.

GPU Role

The GTX 1050 Ti has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus. Its memory bandwidth is 112.1 GB/s. The base clock is 1291 MHz, the boost clock is 1392 MHz, and the memory clock is 1752 MHz / 7 Gbps effective. The GPU contains 768 shading units, 48 texture units, 32 ROPs, and delivers 2.138 TFLOPS of FP32 performance.

These specifications align with the measured FPS pattern. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 22.3 FPS, Medium 14.7 FPS, High 14.6 FPS, and Ultra 13.3 FPS. The 4 GB frame buffer and 112.1 GB/s bandwidth are the memory-side limits that would explain why every 3840x2160 preset remains far below the 1920x1080 Low result of 63.7 FPS.

The GPU’s 30th percentile standing also matches its nearest rivals. Its average benchmark score is 5316, and the closest GPUs are the GeForce 930A at 5317, GeForce 940M at 5297, Radeon R7 240 at 5280, and Radeon R7 M445 at 5361. This is not a graphics card designed for high-resolution rendering in Minimum; the measured data confirms that.

Resolution Scaling

The measured rows show a clear FPS drop as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo averages 63.7 FPS. At 2560x1440 Low, that falls to 42.3 FPS. At 3840x2160 Low, it falls again to 22.3 FPS.

Medium follows the same path: 49.6 FPS at 1920x1080, 30.8 FPS at 2560x1440, and 14.7 FPS at 3840x2160. High goes from 41.7 to 29.2 to 14.6. Ultra goes from 29.6 to 21.7 to 13.3.

The order of presets stays the same at every resolution: Low is fastest, then Medium, then High, then Ultra. But the gaps shrink as resolution climbs. At 1920x1080, Low is 63.7 and Ultra is 29.6. At 3840x2160, Low is 22.3 and Ultra is 13.3. That compression points to the GPU being the limiting component at high resolution. When the GPU is saturated, changing the preset has less influence on the final frame rate.

FAQ

Q: Where does this combo rank in Minimum?

A: It ranks 1727th out of 1733 measured combos. The CPU is in the 77th CPU percentile, while the GPU is in the 30th GPU percentile, so the low rank is tied to the graphics card.

Q: What is the highest measured FPS for this combo?

A: The highest measured average FPS is 63.7 at 1920x1080 Low. The next strongest rows are 49.6 at 1920x1080 Medium and 42.3 at 2560x1440 Low.

Q: How does the GTX 1050 Ti compare to its closest GPU rivals?

A: Its average benchmark score is 5316. The GeForce 930A scores 5317 with deltaPct 0, the GeForce 940M scores 5297 with deltaPct 0.4, the Radeon R7 240 scores 5280 with deltaPct 0.7, and the Radeon R7 M445 scores 5361 with deltaPct -0.8.

Q: Which component is the bottleneck in this combo?

A: The measured rows suggest the GPU is the bottleneck. The CPU reaches the 77th percentile, while the GPU reaches only the 30th. At 3840x2160, Low averages 22.3 FPS and Ultra averages 13.3 FPS, a small spread that implies the GPU is already saturated.

Q: What CPU is the i5-12400 closest to in benchmark score?

A: Its average benchmark score is 19850. The nearest rivals are the Core i7-9700 at 19831 with deltaPct 0.1, the Core i7-8700 at 19894 with deltaPct -0.2, the Threadripper PRO 5995WX at 19928 with deltaPct -0.4, and the Core i5-11600K at 19771 with deltaPct 0.4.

Q: Does this combo have a 3840x2160 preset that comes close to the 1920x1080 Low result?

A: No. The best 3840x2160 row is Low at 22.3 FPS. Medium is 14.7, High is 14.6, and Ultra is 13.3. By comparison, 1920x1080 Low reaches 63.7 FPS.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 has 6 cores, 12 threads, a base clock of 2.50, and a boost clock of 4.40. It has 18 MB of shared L3 cache and a 65 W TDP. Its benchmark results are strong. Cinebench R23 multicore is 15935, and singlecore is 2249. 3dmark max threads is 5890, and 3dmark single thread is 910. PassMark multithread is 18747, and PassMark singlethread is 3456.

The CPU’s average benchmark score is 19850. Its nearest rivals are all close in score: the Core i7-9700 at 19831, Core i7-8700 at 19894, Threadripper PRO 5995WX at 19928, and Core i5-11600K at 19771. The deltaPct values span from -0.4 to 0.4. This is a competitive processor by benchmark standing.

But strong CPU numbers do not produce high frame rates in this combination. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo reaches 63.7 FPS, the fastest measured row in the dataset. As resolution climbs, FPS falls in every preset. That behavior indicates the CPU is not the main limiter; the GPU is responsible for the scaling loss.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the best preset for the highest average FPS at every resolution is Low. At 1920x1080, Low averages 63.7 FPS, Medium 49.6, High 41.7, and Ultra 29.6. At 2560x1440, Low averages 42.3 FPS, Medium 30.8, High 29.2, and Ultra 21.7. At 3840x2160, Low averages 22.3 FPS, Medium 14.7, High 14.6, and Ultra 13.3.

Low is the strongest setting in the measured data because it produces the highest FPS at every resolution. Medium is the next best option at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but at 3840x2160 Medium and High are nearly tied at 14.7 and 14.6. Ultra is the slowest preset at every resolution.
