Doom

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a remarkably consistent experience in Doom, with the data showing that the GPU is the primary scaling factor across resolutions. This combination sits in the 815th position out of 1681 tested combos, placing it firmly in the upper-middle tier of systems evaluated for this title. The measured frame rates reveal a system that can handle 1080p and 1440p with ease, while 4K requires more careful settings management.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K follows a predictable curve that clearly identifies the GPU as the limiting component. At 1080p with High settings, the combo produces 176 FPS, which drops to 117.5 FPS at 1440p and further to 64.1 FPS at 4K. This represents a 33% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 45% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling pattern indicates that the CPU has ample headroom at lower resolutions, as the frame rates at 1080p are high enough that the graphics card becomes the bottleneck.

The Low preset tells a similar story with even higher absolute numbers. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 242.5 FPS, which is an exceptional result for a fast-paced FPS. Dropping to 1440p Low yields 154.3 FPS, and 4K Low still manages 85.3 FPS. The percentage drops between resolutions are consistent regardless of preset, suggesting that the GPU's rendering pipeline is the determining factor across all quality levels.

Ultra settings show the steepest scaling curve, with 142.7 FPS at 1080p, 95.7 FPS at 1440p, and 52.7 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result falls below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider the minimum for smooth gameplay, making this preset impractical at that resolution. The gap between 1080p and 4K at Ultra is 63%, which is larger than the 62% gap at High, indicating that the additional graphical features in Ultra place progressively more strain on the GPU as resolution increases.

How This Combo Ranks

With a rank of 815 out of 1681 tested combinations, this system sits at approximately the 48th percentile of all combos evaluated in Doom. This positioning reflects a balanced pairing where neither component severely limits the other, but also where neither component is pushing the boundaries of what the game can utilize. The data shows that this combo outperforms a substantial portion of tested systems while remaining behind the top tier of high-end configurations.

The ranking suggests that for Doom specifically, this pairing delivers solid performance that will handle competitive play and high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p and 1440p. Systems ranked above this combo likely benefit from more powerful GPUs that can maintain higher frame rates at 4K or support higher refresh rates at lower resolutions. However, the 815th position out of 1681 indicates that this is not a weak combination by any means, as it places ahead of more than half of all tested systems.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6750 XT features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration proves sufficient for Doom's demands, as the game does not appear to hit memory capacity limits at any tested resolution. The GPU's 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s, which translate directly into the high frame rates observed in the benchmark data.

Clock speeds play a significant role in the performance profile. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2150 MHz, a game clock of 2495 MHz, and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. The boost behavior allows the card to reach its maximum performance when thermal and power headroom permit, which is evident in the strong 1080p results. The 250 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU indicate that this card requires substantial power delivery, but the performance data justifies the power draw.

The GPU's benchmark results show a PassMark G3D score of 20700 and a PassMark GPU Compute score of 9550, placing it at the 79th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 5600M, scores 35264 in the average benchmark with a deltaPct of 0.2, meaning the RX 6750 XT is effectively tied with that mobile part. More notably, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 35787 with a deltaPct of -1.3, indicating the RX 6750 XT trails the RTX 3080 by only 1.3% in aggregate GPU benchmarks, though real-world gaming performance in Doom shows the RX 6750 XT holding its own.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimal settings at each resolution. At 1080p, the High preset at 176 FPS offers an excellent balance between visual quality and performance, easily exceeding the refresh rates of most standard monitors. The Ultra preset at 142.7 FPS still provides smooth gameplay and is viable for players with 144Hz displays who prioritize visual fidelity. The Low preset at 242.5 FPS is only necessary for players with 240Hz monitors who want to maximize competitive advantage.

At 1440p, the High preset at 117.5 FPS is the recommended choice for most users, as it maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while delivering strong visual quality. The Medium preset at 136.3 FPS offers a small performance boost with minor visual compromises, while the Ultra preset at 95.7 FPS remains playable and provides the best image quality. The Low preset at 154.3 FPS is overkill for most 1440p monitors but useful for high-refresh-rate displays.

At 4K, the Low preset at 85.3 FPS is the only option that provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 74.8 FPS is acceptable for players who want better visual quality and can tolerate occasional dips. The High preset at 64.1 FPS is borderline, sitting just above the 60 FPS threshold, while the Ultra preset at 52.7 FPS falls below it and is not recommended for smooth gameplay. Players targeting 4K should use the Medium preset to balance visual fidelity with playable frame rates.

A: The resolution scaling data indicates the GPU is the limiting component. Frame rates drop consistently as resolution increases, while the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads provide sufficient processing power to avoid bottlenecking.

Q: What frame rates can I expect at 1080p with High settings?

A: The High preset delivers 176 FPS at 1080p, which is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay on most monitors. The Low preset reaches 242.5 FPS for competitive play.

Q: How does the RX 6750 XT compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The RX 6750 XT's average benchmark score of 35327 is nearly identical to the RX 5600M at 35264 (0.2% delta) and slightly behind the RTX 3080 at 35787 (-1.3% delta). In Doom specifically, the card demonstrates strong performance relative to these comparisons.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This configuration is more than adequate for Doom, which is not a heavily threaded title. The CPU's single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 913 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3348, ensures that the game's primary game logic and physics calculations run efficiently.

The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide sufficient data throughput for the game's assets. The benchmark results show the CPU achieving a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17272 and a single-core score of 2438, placing it at the 78th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700, scores 20746 with a deltaPct of 0, meaning the two processors are effectively tied in aggregate performance.

The high frame rates at 1080p, particularly the 242.5 FPS result at Low settings, demonstrate that the CPU can feed the GPU with data quickly enough to avoid creating a bottleneck. The consistent scaling pattern across resolutions confirms that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this pairing. The 5600GT's integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are irrelevant for this discrete GPU configuration, but the CPU's overall performance profile makes it a solid match for the RX 6750 XT in this game.
