Minimum

Minimum, a 2014 third-person shooter, runs at high frame rates on the Intel Core i7-14700KF plus AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT combination. The measured data ranks this pairing 327th out of 1,733 tested combos, with the CPU’s percentileVsAllCpus value at 96 and the GPU’s percentileVsAllGpus value at 82. At 1080p the combo exceeds 146 FPS on every preset; at 4K it stays above 60 FPS through High settings but drops to 52.6 FPS on Ultra.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS curve shows a consistent decline as resolution increases. On Low settings, the average drops from 300.8 at 1920x1080 to 195.3 at 2560x1440, then to 105.4 at 3840x2160. On High settings, the same progression moves from 195.8 to 124.2 to 69.9. Medium settings follow with 227.6, 151, and 79.9. Ultra settings produce 146.7 at 1080p, 92.3 at 1440p, and 52.6 at 4K.

This pattern points to the GPU as the scaling bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the processor is able to push the game to 300.8 FPS, which is far beyond standard display refresh rates. As resolution climbs, the render workload scales with pixel count, and the measured averages fall accordingly. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate dips to 52.6, while 4K Low still holds 105.4. The spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is therefore substantial, and it shows that the Radeon RX 7900 XT is carrying the resolution load more than the CPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s measured rank in Minimum is 327th out of 1,733 tested combinations. Because the page’s data is marked as measured, this rank reflects benchmark rows rather than estimates. A rank of 327 in a field of 1,733 puts the pairing ahead of the majority of tested configurations.

The individual component positions support that result. The CPU’s percentileVsAllCpus value is 96, and the GPU’s percentileVsAllGpus value is 82. Both are high, and together they produce a game rank that is strong without being near the very top of the database. The measured FPS at all three resolutions is consistent with that placement: the combination is capable of high-refresh play at 1080p and 1440p, with 4K playable on most presets.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor built on Raptor Lake architecture. Its base clock is 3.40 and its boost clock is 5.60. It has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. Those specifications provide both high thread throughput and strong per-core speed.

Synthetic results reinforce that picture. The CPU scores 44557 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 6290 in Cinebench R23 single-core. In Geekbench it scores 19287 multi-core and 2972 single-core. PassMark yields 52425 in multithread performance and 4480 in single-thread performance. For a 2014 third-person shooter, the single-thread results are especially relevant, because the measured 1080p Low average of 300.8 FPS shows a processor that can feed very high frame rates.

In the nearest-rival comparison, the i7-14700KF’s average benchmark score is 70104. The Intel Core i7-14700K is the closest listed rival with an average score of 70074 and a deltaPct of 0. The AMD EPYC 9115 scores 69887 with a deltaPct of 0.3, while the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X scores 70420 with a deltaPct of -0.4. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 scores 71056 with a deltaPct of -1.3. These deltas are all narrow, which means the CPU’s overall compute standing is essentially level with a tight group of strong processors.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured rows cover three resolutions and four settings. The exact average FPS values are:

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

|---|---|---|---|---|

| 1920x1080 | 300.8 | 227.6 | 195.8 | 146.7 |

| 2560x1440 | 195.3 | 151 | 124.2 | 92.3 |

| 3840x2160 | 105.4 | 79.9 | 69.9 | 52.6 |

At 1080p, every preset stays above 146 FPS, with Low reaching 300.8 and Medium at 227.6. At 1440p, the lowest measured preset is Ultra at 92.3, and Low remains above 195 FPS. At 4K, Low, Medium, and High all clear 69 FPS, while Ultra falls to 52.6. The data shows a clean hierarchy of settings: for every resolution, Low is fastest, Medium is next, High is slower, and Ultra is slowest.

FAQ

Q: What is the measured average FPS at 1080p Ultra?

A: The combo averages 146.7 FPS at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings.

Q: Can this combo maintain 60 FPS at 4K Ultra?

A: No. The measured 4K Ultra average is 52.6 FPS. At 4K, the presets above 60 FPS are Low at 105.4, Medium at 79.9, and High at 69.9.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest listed rivals?

A: The i7-14700KF’s average benchmark score is 70104. The Core i7-14700K scores 70074 with a deltaPct of 0, the AMD EPYC 9115 scores 69887 with a deltaPct of 0.3, the Ryzen 9 9950X scores 70420 with a deltaPct of -0.4, and the Xeon Platinum 8270 scores 71056 with a deltaPct of -1.3.

Q: What is the GPU’s benchmark standing?

A: The RX 7900 XT has an average benchmark score of 38358 and a percentileVsAllGpus value of 82. It scores 29009 in PassMark G3D and 16828 in PassMark GPU compute.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at 4K?

A: The 4K results decline from Low at 105.4 to Medium at 79.9, High at 69.9, and Ultra at 52.6, while the CPU is capable of 300.8 FPS at 1080p Low. This indicates the GPU is the limiting component as resolution increases.

Settings Recommendations

For a balanced experience across all three resolutions, High is the highest measured preset that stays above 60 FPS everywhere: 195.8 at 1080p, 124.2 at 1440p, and 69.9 at 4K. That combination of visual quality and smoothness makes High the strongest all-around choice in the measured rows.

For maximum smoothness on a high-refresh display, 1080p Low delivers 300.8 FPS, and 1440p Low delivers 195.3. For players who want maximum fidelity, 1080p Ultra is playable at 146.7 FPS, and 1440p Ultra remains above 60 at 92.3. At 4K, Ultra falls below 60 FPS at 52.6, so High is the best preset that clears the 60 FPS mark without dropping to Medium.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is built on RDNA 3 architecture with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus, delivering 800.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its base clock is 1387 MHz, game clock is 2025 MHz, and boost clock is 2394 MHz. The GPU has 5376 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, 192 render output units, and 84 RT cores. Its FP32 throughput is 51.48 TFLOPS.

Those specifications line up with the measured performance. At 1080p, the GPU is more than enough to push High settings to 195.8 FPS and Ultra to 146.7 FPS. At 4K, the GPU still delivers 105.4 FPS on Low and 79.9 FPS on Medium, but the Ultra preset drops to 52.6 FPS. The 20 GB memory pool and high bandwidth keep the higher resolutions from running out of frame buffer, but the rendering load at 4K Ultra ultimately exceeds what the GPU can hold above 60 FPS.

In nearest-rival terms, the RX 7900 XT’s average benchmark score is 38358. The GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile scores 38349 with a deltaPct of 0, the NVIDIA CMP 70HX scores 38225 with a deltaPct of 0.3, the GeForce MX570 scores 38494 with a deltaPct of -0.4, and the GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38135 with a deltaPct of 0.6. The GPU’s synthetic averages are closely clustered, but the in-game data shows that for Minimum, the RX 7900 XT is at its best below the 4K Ultra preset.
