Doom

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a strong 1080p and 1440p experience in Doom, with 4K playable at high settings. Measured data shows the combo ranks 850th out of 1681 tested combinations, placing it near the median. The CPU and GPU each sit at the 79th percentile in their respective databases, yet the pairing's in-game rank is lower, suggesting the game's demands favor other configurations. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across resolutions and settings, and examines the roles of the CPU and GPU.

Resolution Scaling

At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 175.2 at 1920x1080 to 113.1 at 2560x1440 and 60.5 at 3840x2160. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 62.1 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is 52.6 FPS. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the resolution increase directly impacts the rendering load. At Low settings, the same trend appears: 243.2 at 1080p, 156.9 at 1440p, and 84.9 at 4K. The fact that even at Low settings the 4K frame rate is below 90 FPS suggests that the GPU's raw throughput is the bottleneck. At Ultra settings, the 4K average is 54.1 FPS, just below the 60 FPS threshold, while 1440p Ultra hits 91.8 and 1080p Ultra reaches 145.3. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is from 145.3 to 54.1, a reduction of 91.2 FPS. This large drop underscores the GPU-bound nature of the workload. The difference between Low and Ultra at each resolution is also telling: at 1080p, Low 243.2 vs Ultra 145.3; at 1440p, Low 156.9 vs Ultra 91.8; at 4K, Low 84.9 vs Ultra 54.1. The consistent pattern across settings confirms that the GPU is the limiting component, as the CPU's performance is unlikely to change with resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 850th out of 1681 tested combinations, placing it just above the midpoint. This is lower than the individual percentiles of the CPU and GPU, both of which are 79th percentile. The CPU's average benchmark score is 20875, with nearest rivals such as the Intel Core i5-12500 at 20897 (deltaPct -0.1) and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE at 20900 (deltaPct -0.1). The GPU's average score is 35327, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 at 35787 (deltaPct -1.3) and the AMD Radeon RX 5600M at 35264 (deltaPct 0.2). These close margins indicate that the parts are competitive with their immediate peers, but the in-game rank suggests that Doom's specific performance characteristics may not favor this pairing as much as other titles. The rank of 850 out of 1681 means that 831 combinations perform better, while 849 perform worse. This places the combo in the middle of the pack, which is consistent with the parts' mid-range positioning.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6750 XT features 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock is 2150 MHz, with a boost clock of 2600 MHz and a game clock of 2495 MHz. The memory runs at 2250 MHz, or 18 Gbps effective. The GPU has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, along with 40 ray tracing cores. Its pixel rate is 166.4 GPixel/s and texture rate is 416.0 GTexel/s, while FP32 performance is 13.31 TFLOPS. These specifications are well-suited for a fast-paced FPS like Doom, which relies on high fill rates and memory bandwidth. The measured FPS at 4K High is 60.5, exactly at the 60 FPS target, while 4K Ultra drops to 54.1. This indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, as the CPU is likely not the bottleneck given the high frame rates at lower resolutions. The GPU's average benchmark score is 35327, placing it at the 79th percentile. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, scores 35787 with a deltaPct of -1.3, meaning the RX 6750 XT is 1.3% behind. The AMD Radeon RX 5600M scores 35264 with a deltaPct of 0.2, indicating the RX 6750 XT is 0.2% ahead. These close margins show that the GPU is competitive with its immediate peers.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It has a 16MB L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface, providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The CPU's TDP is 65W, and it uses the AM4 socket. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 16429 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2319 in single-core. Its average benchmark score is 20875, placing it at the 79th percentile. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12500, scores 20897 with a deltaPct of -0.1, indicating the Ryzen is 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE scores 20900 with a deltaPct of -0.1 as well. These close margins show that the CPU is well-matched to its competitors. In Doom, the CPU's role is to process game logic and feed the GPU. The high frame rates at 1080p Low (243.2) suggest that the CPU is capable of driving high FPS, and the resolution scaling indicates that the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher resolutions. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for modern games, and its boost clock of 4.20 GHz provides strong single-thread performance, which is important for FPS titles.
