Doom

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT form a mainstream desktop combo whose measured frame rates in id Software's Doom reveal a system that is overkill for low presets and surprisingly resilient at 4K. The pair sits at rank 1236 out of 3712 tested combinations, meaning slightly better than two-thirds of all combos. With average fps ranging from 115 at 4K Ultra to 187 at 1080p Low, the data suggests that this CPU-GPU pairing excels at high refresh 1080p and 1440p gaming, while still delivering triple-digit 4K results on every preset. The following analysis unpacks the measured numbers, compares the chip and GPU to their closest rivals, and explores how each half of the pairing contributes to the final frame rates.

FAQ

Q: Does the CPU have an integrated GPU?

A: Yes, it includes Radeon Graphics. However, dedicated graphics are used for the measured results, and the same integrated GPU is not the source of these frame rates.

GPU Role

The RX 6750 XT provides 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 432 GB/s bandwidth, which proves sufficient for every test here—no preset at any resolution shows signs of exhausting VRAM. Clock counts: the base is 2150 MHz, the boost is 2600 MHz, and there is a "game clock" of 2495 MHz. GPU memory clocks at 2250 MHz, with an 18 Gbps effective data rate. This is a RDNA 2 architecture on a 7 nm process, and the GPU typically runs at 250 W TDP.

The measured FPS across all twelve configurations (four resolutions, four presets) never drops below 115 fps. At 4K Ultra, it holds 115 fps; at 4K High, 126; at 4K Medium, 141, with a measured minimum of 118 and maximum of 160. At 1080p Low, the frame rate reaches 187. These numbers indicate that at 1080p and 1440p, the GPU never becomes a bottleneck. Even at 4K, the GPU still manages a triple-digit average on the most demanding preset. That is a strong GPU result for a 2022 card used in a 2016 game.

The percentage ranking of the GPU is 71, meaning it outperforms 71% of all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 26011. It sits close to four nearest rivals: the R9 M395X (0.5% lower), FirePro W7100 (0.6% lower), FirePro D700 (0.7% lower), and RTX 3080 Ti Mobile (1.1% lower). All four are within a couple of percent, so the RX 6750 XT is clearly a mainstream-class card, but its performance in Doom is exceptionally high relative to these generic scores.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of all 3712 processor+GPU combinations tested on this game, the Ryzen 5 7600 + RX 6750 XT combo ranks 1236. That places it at the 67th percentile. The data indicates that this pairing is well-suited to high-FPS gaming, but it is not out of the ordinary—just over a third of all combinations (about 32%) outrank it. The 67th percentile matches the GPU's 71st percentile and the CPU's 78th percentile, showing that the ultimate 1080p and 1440p results are at least as strong as the individual parts would suggest.

The rank of 1260 is based on the measured fps across all settings and resolutions, not on theoretical compute. A potential explanation is that at 4K the CPU becomes less limiting, and the GPU's memory bandwidth and 40 RT cores are leveraged. But even at 1080p Low, the CPU still posts 187 fps, which suggests that the CPU is not seriously limiting the frame rate in this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured results cover 12 configurations, each with an average fps, and only the Medium preset includes min and max values. The data:

| Resolution | Settings | avg FPS | min FPS | max FPS |

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

| 1920x1080 | Low | 187 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 184 | 157 | 212 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 152 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 166 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 164 | 139 | 188 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 115 | — | — |

At 1080p, the frames range from 152 (Ultra) to 187 (Low). The 1440p column sits between 135 (Ultra) and 166 (Low). 4K starts at 115 (Ultra) and reaches 141 (Medium / Low). Note that the low and medium presets are nearly identical at 4K (141 for both). That pattern suggests that the GPU is strongly load-limited—at 4K, further increasing the settings from Medium to High costs 10% of the frame rate.

The only min/max values are recorded on the Medium preset. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 157 and maximum is 212, with average 184. That means the average is 12.5% above the minimum, indicating good frame pacing. At 1440p Medium, min 139 and max 188 is a 49 frame spread, with the average at 164. At 4K Medium, min 118, max 160, average 141—the spread is 42 frames. These min/max stats imply that the engine's frame-time variance grows as resolution increases, likely due to GPU load and bandwidth constraints.

Settings Recommendations

The data suggests the sweet spot for a 1080p monitor is the Medium preset, because it yields 184 fps - 96.5% of the maximum (Low at 187) while still giving a meaningful quality boost. At Ultra, the result drops to 152 fps, which is 16% slower than Medium. If a 144 Hz monitor is your target, both Medium and High at 1080p register above 144 fps—High only 167, Medium 184, Low 187. So 1080p Medium or High is recommended.

For 1440p, the High preset maintains 148 fps, which is above the 120 Hz threshold. The whole range from Low (166) to Ultra (122) remains playable, but the biggest drop happens between Medium (164) and High (148) — a 9.8% loss for one setting step. Ultra costs even more: down to 122 fps from High's 148, a 17.5% drop for visual gains that may not be noticeable in fast gameplay. So for a 1440p display, go to Medium or High, whichever meets the refresh target.

At 4K, the situation changes. The Low and Medium presets are identical on average (140 fps), and High falls to 126 fps, a 10.6% drop. Ultra is 115 fps—still playable—but it is 8.7% behind High. For 4K in Doom, the GPU is so strong that no setting needs to go below High; even Ultra reaches the triple-digit club with an average of 115. The data points to a smooth experience at 4K Medium, where the min is 118 fps (so it rarely dips below the 120 Hz point).

Given the measured averages, the best experience for the highest achievable frame rate without sacrificing visual fidelity is Medium at 1080p or 1440p, and Medium or Low at 4K. The Ultra or High presets are only recommended for those who prioritize image detail over frame rate.

CPU Comparison

The Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 processor based on the Raphael architecture. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost of 5.10 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. Its memory controller is dual-channel DDR5-5200, delivering 83.2 GB/s of peak bandwidth. The chip uses a 5 nm process by TSMC with 6,570 million transistors, but these specs are only indirectly relevant to Doom since the game is heavily GPU-bound. The CPU's performance is confirmed by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12735 and single-core of 1852, and Geekbench multicore of 13413 and single of 2521.

In this combination, the CPU's job is to feed the GPU with draw streams for 6-cores, but at 1080p it might bottleneck slightly compared to lower resolutions. The fact that the frame rate at 1080p Low (187) is only 10.5% higher than 1440p Low (166) suggests that the CPU is not being fully pressured at lower resolutions. In other words, the CPU provides enough headroom to hit 187 fps, but the GPU around 41% (166/187) shows that the resolution and memory load are the main limiting factors, not the CPU.

The CPU plays a leading role in the multi-head. The Cinebench multicore score of 12335 means it is 35% higher than the single-core score of 1852, a 6.5x multiplier. That's typical for a 6-core/12-thread part. Its 78th CPU percentile aligns with its avg score of 26324. Compared to its closest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, it is essentially tied (0.2% higher), although the Ryzen 5 7600 has a higher boost clock (5.10 GHz vs the Ryzen 9's unknown in this pack). The Ryzen 7 7435HS is 0.3% higher, indicating that the Ryzen 5 7600 is slightly better than a typical eight-core laptop part. For a game like Doom, the high single-thread performance (Geekbench single 2521) is likely a strong factor.

The CPU may not be limiting the frame rate is reinforced by the nearly flat scaling from 1080p to 4K within the same preset. For example, on Medium at 1080p, average 184; at 1440p 164 - a 10.8% drop; at 4K 141: 23.4% drop from 1080p. That FPS drop corresponds to a pixel count increase but is much larger than the CPU could cause. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rate would scale with resolution more gently. The data supports that the RX 6750 XT is doing the heavy lifting once you exceed the CPU's limit.

Resolution Scaling

The measured results show how the game responds to the pixel count. Starting at 1080p, the strongest preset is Low (187 fps), then Medium (184), High (167), and Ultra (152). At 1440p, all presets shift by 10–30 fps. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p for each preset:

• Low: 187 to 166 = 11.2% drop
• Medium: 184 to 164 = 10.9% drop
• High: 167 to 148 = 12.0% drop
• Ultra: 152 to 135 = 11.2% drop

The scaling is consistent—each preset loses roughly 11-12% when moving from 1080p to 1440p. This suggests the GPU's pixel rate is scaling almost inversely to the pixel count: 1440p has 77.8% more pixels than 1080p, but the frame rate only drops ~11-12%. That is surprisingly small, which implies that the GPU is not purely pixel-limited. At 1080p, the CPU or API logic could be a mild limit, so the GPU is under less strain. When you go to 1440p, the GPU becomes less the primary limiter, but the overall FPS still only drops by ~10%, not 56% as pixel count would predict. That points to the CPU being at near saturation at 1080p, and the GPU having spare capacity, or that Doom is highly optimized and base.

Now moving to 4K (which has 4x the pixels of 1080p), the drops are bigger:

• Low: 187 to 141 = 24.6% drop
• Medium: 184 to 141 = 23.4% drop
• High: 167 to 126 = 24.6% drop
• Ultra: 152 to 115 = 24.3% drop

All presets lose about 24–25% on average when quadrupling the pixels. So the frame FPS scales with the reciprocal of the second root of pixel load. This is much more typical of a GPU-limited scenario. The CPU still can cope. The 4K results point to the GPU as the dominant bottleneck, yet even at 4K Ultra the average is 115 fps, so the GPU is still enough to maintain high refresh on a 4K screen.

The trend shows that the CPU is fine any resolution, but at 1080p the combo could likely go higher if the GPU could reframe faster. The extra 19% (1080p High vs 1440p High) is exactly the pixel difference, so the GPU's capabilities are nearly linear with pixel count. To conclude, the couple has a solid CPU foundation that lets the GPU reach its performance cap. Higher resolutions scale with GPU load, and the small differences between low, medium, and high at 1080p are mostly springing from GPU, while the 4p drop is the GPU's true rendering cost.

Data Source

All FPS measurements are labeled "measured" as true. The combination rank is based on 3712 combinations, and the result is that the Ryzen 5 7600 + RX 6750 XT sits in the top third. The data clearly wants that this is a high-refresh 1440p pairing and a viable 4K-60+ ready the chain.
