Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers strong performance in Doom, with 1080p High averaging 177.1 fps and 4K High averaging 63 fps. The combo ranks 855th out of 1681 tested configurations, placing it just above the midpoint of the database. The CPU and GPU individually sit in the 83rd and 79th percentiles respectively, yet the in-game rank is lower, indicating that Doom's workload does not fully scale with the hardware's raw compute potential.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It carries 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 22620 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3193 in single-core, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score is 26214, which is 0.1% higher than the Intel Core i9-11900KF and 0.2% lower than the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, according to the nearestRivals deltaPct values. These results indicate a well-balanced processor that can handle both multi-threaded workloads and single-threaded game logic.

In Doom, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics calculations. The measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 239.6, a figure that suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck at that resolution and settings level. Even at 1080p Ultra, the combo sustains 142.6 fps, which is well above typical display refresh rates. The high single-thread score of 3193 in Cinebench R23 supports the notion that the CPU can keep up with the game's per-frame processing demands. The 8-core/16-thread configuration also provides headroom for background tasks and future titles, though Doom itself is not heavily threaded. The CPU's 32 MB L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for game data access patterns. Overall, the data shows that the Ryzen 7 5700X is a capable partner for the RX 6750 XT in this title, with no evidence of CPU-induced frame drops at any tested setting.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a Navi 22 chip, featuring 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock is 2600 MHz, with a game clock of 2495 MHz and a base clock of 2150 MHz. The GPU's average benchmark score is 35327, which is 0.2% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 5600M and 1.3% lower than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, based on the nearestRivals deltaPct values. It sits in the 79th percentile of all GPUs, indicating solid performance relative to the broader market.

In Doom, the GPU is the primary driver of frame rate at higher resolutions and settings. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 51.4 fps, which is below the 60 fps threshold commonly considered smooth. At 4K High, the average rises to 63 fps, showing that the GPU can handle 4K with a moderate settings reduction. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game's texture requirements, as no memory-related stutters are indicated by the measured data. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s is ample for the game's asset streaming. The scaling from 1080p to 4K is consistent across settings, with the 4K Low result of 82.7 fps being roughly one-third of the 1080p Low result of 239.6 fps. This pattern confirms that the GPU is the limiting component as resolution increases, while the CPU remains capable of keeping up.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and frame rate across all resolutions. At 1080p, High delivers 177.1 fps, which is more than sufficient for any display, while Ultra still achieves 142.6 fps. At 1440p, High produces 115.3 fps, and Ultra drops to 92.8 fps—both are playable, but High provides a smoother experience with a smaller performance cost. At 4K, High is the only preset that maintains an average above 60 fps, hitting 63 fps, whereas Ultra falls to 51.4 fps. Medium at 4K yields 76.5 fps, but High offers better visual fidelity with only a modest frame rate reduction. For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, Low at 1080p reaches 239.6 fps, but the visual trade-off is significant. The data suggests that High is the recommended preset for this combo, as it delivers playable performance at 4K and high refresh rates at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 855th out of 1681 tested configurations in Doom, placing it just above the median. This rank is lower than the individual percentiles of the CPU (83rd) and GPU (79th), indicating that the combination does not achieve the same relative standing as its components in isolation. The CPU's nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-11900KF, has a deltaPct of 0.1%, meaning the Ryzen 7 5700X is essentially tied with it in average benchmark score. The GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 5600M, has a deltaPct of 0.2%, showing a similar close match. The lower combo rank suggests that Doom's performance is more sensitive to GPU throughput than to CPU compute, and the RX 6750 XT's 4K Ultra result of 51.4 fps pulls the overall rank down. At 1080p and 1440p, the combo performs strongly, but the 4K Ultra result is a weak point. The rank reflects the full range of tested settings and resolutions, so the 4K Ultra deficit is a significant factor.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drops from 1080p to 4K are consistent across all settings, indicating a GPU-bound workload. At High, the average FPS goes from 177.1 at 1080p to 115.3 at 1440p and 63 at 4K. The 1440p result is 65% of the 1080p value, and the 4K result is 35.6% of the 1080p value—though these percentages are not directly stated in the FACT PACK, the raw numbers show a clear trend. At Low, the progression is 239.6, 157.9, and 82.7, respectively. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 34% in both cases, and the drop from 1440p to 4K is roughly 45%. This pattern is typical of a GPU-limited scenario, where the CPU has sufficient headroom to maintain frame delivery. The fact that the 1080p Low result exceeds 200 fps further confirms that the CPU is not a limiting factor at lower resolutions. The scaling suggests that users targeting 4K should expect to use High or Medium settings to stay above 60 fps, while 1440p and 1080p can handle Ultra with ease.

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 207.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 142.6 |

The best result is 239.6 fps at 1080p Low, while the worst is 51.4 fps at 4K Ultra. The spread between Low and Ultra at each resolution is substantial: at 1080p, the difference is 97 fps; at 1440p, it is 65.1 fps; and at 4K, it is 31.3 fps. This indicates that the GPU's performance scales predictably with settings, and the CPU maintains consistent frame delivery across all configurations.
