Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a strong performance profile in Doom, securing the 1696th position out of 3712 tested combos. This places the combination in the 54th percentile of all tested hardware pairings for this title, indicating a solidly above-average result that leans toward the upper-middle tier of the database. The ranking reflects a balanced system where neither component is a glaring bottleneck, though the data suggests the GPU carries more of the load at higher resolutions. The combo's standing is respectable, but it is not near the top of the leaderboard, which is reserved for combinations with more recent flagship hardware.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame of 1696 out of 3712 tested combinations places the Ryzen 7 5800X and RX 6750 XT squarely in the middle of the pack, with 2016 other combos ranking below it. This is a competitive position for a system built around components from the previous hardware generation. The ranking indicates that for Doom, this pairing outperforms roughly 54% of all tested configurations, making it a dependable choice for high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming and playable 4K performance. The data shows a system that is well-balanced for this specific game, as the rank is not dragged down by a severely mismatched component pairing. When compared to the individual component averages, the combo's performance is consistent, suggesting the system operates without significant thermal or power throttling that would otherwise degrade the in-game results. The position also implies that while the hardware is capable, there is substantial headroom above it for enthusiasts seeking higher frame rates, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU's single-threaded performance becomes more relevant.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the primary driver of frame generation in Doom, and its specifications align well with the measured results. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth. This memory configuration is sufficient for the game's texture-heavy environments at 4K, as evidenced by the playable average frame rates at that resolution. The card's clock speeds are notably high for its class, with a base clock of 2150 MHz, a game clock of 2495 MHz, and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. These high clocks contribute directly to the pixel and texture fill rates, which are rated at 166.4 GPixel/s and 416.0 GTexel/s, respectively. The GPU's compute capability is rated at 13.31 TFLOPS for FP32 operations, which is a solid figure for a card of this tier and supports the smooth rendering of the game's dynamic lighting and particle effects. The 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs are well-utilized in Doom, as the game's engine scales effectively with raw rasterization throughput. The GPU's benchmark scores reflect its capability, with a Passmark G3D score of 20700 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2548. The GPU holds a 71st percentile ranking among all GPUs, and its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon R9 M395X, which has a deltaPct of 0.5, indicating the RX 6750 XT is just slightly ahead in average benchmark scores. This close margin highlights that while the card is not a top-tier performer, it is competitive with other mid-range options from its era.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X plays a crucial supporting role, ensuring the GPU is fed with data efficiently. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, the CPU provides ample multi-threaded performance for the game's background tasks, while its high single-thread speed is critical for maintaining high frame rates at lower resolutions. The processor has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, which are excellent for gaming workloads. The CPU's benchmark results confirm its strength: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15476 and a single-core score of 1574.5 indicate robust performance. In Doom, which is often limited by the CPU at 1080p, the 5800X's single-threaded capabilities are essential. The data shows that at 1080p, the system achieves high average FPS, which is a direct result of the CPU's ability to process the game's logic and draw calls quickly. The CPU also has a 32 MB L3 cache, which helps reduce memory latency and improve gaming performance. The CPU's overall percentile ranking is 81st among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29123. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, shows a deltaPct of 0.1, meaning the 5800X is essentially tied with it in average performance. This indicates that the CPU is not a weak link in the system, and its performance is well-matched to the GPU's capabilities.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how this combo performs across different settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system delivers excellent performance, with an average of 242 FPS on Low settings, 210 FPS on Medium, 178 FPS on High, and 145 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 179 FPS and a maximum of 242 FPS, indicating smooth frame pacing. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop but remain highly playable: 156 FPS on Low, 136 FPS on Medium, 115 FPS on High, and 94 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at this resolution has a min of 116 FPS and a max of 157 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system still manages respectable frame rates, with an average of 85 FPS on Low, 74 FPS on Medium, 62 FPS on High, and 51 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 4K has a min of 63 FPS and a max of 85 FPS, showing that even at the highest resolution, the system can maintain a playable experience. The data indicates a consistent scaling pattern where each step up in settings reduces performance by a similar margin across all resolutions. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 97 FPS, while at 4K, the gap narrows to 34 FPS, suggesting that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the system's bottleneck characteristics. At 1080p, the system achieves 242 FPS on Low, which is a very high frame rate that suggests the CPU is the primary limiter, as the GPU has headroom to render more frames. When moving to 1440p, the frame rate drops to 156 FPS on Low, a decrease of 86 FPS, which is a 35.5% reduction. This indicates that the GPU is starting to become more involved, but the system is still capable of high refresh rates. At 4K, the frame rate drops to 85 FPS on Low, a further reduction of 71 FPS from 1440p, or 45.5%. This significant drop at 4K clearly points to the GPU as the limiting component. The data shows that the CPU is strong enough to handle the game's demands at lower resolutions, but the RX 6750 XT's raw pixel-pushing power is insufficient to maintain the same frame rates when the resolution increases. This is typical behavior for a mid-range GPU, where the performance ceiling is reached at higher resolutions. The scaling from 1080p to 4K on Ultra settings shows a drop from 145 FPS to 51 FPS, a 64.8% reduction, which further emphasizes the GPU's role as the bottleneck at high resolutions. The system is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can deliver high frame rates, while 4K is reserved for less demanding settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend on the user's performance target and resolution. For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, as it delivers an average of 145 FPS, which is still well above the 144Hz threshold for most monitors. The High preset at 178 FPS offers a significant margin, but Ultra provides the best visual experience without sacrificing playability. For 2560x1440, the High preset at 115 FPS is a good balance, but the Medium preset at 136 FPS is recommended for users with 144Hz displays, as it provides a smoother experience with a minimum of 116 FPS. The Ultra preset at 94 FPS is playable but may not be ideal for fast-paced action. At 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, with an average of 74 FPS and a minimum of 63 FPS, ensuring that the frame rate does not drop below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The High preset at 62 FPS is also playable, but the Medium preset offers a more consistent experience. The Low preset at 4K provides 85 FPS, but the visual fidelity loss is significant. Overall, the data suggests that the system is best utilized at 1080p and 1440p with high settings, while 4K users should stick to Medium settings for a stable frame rate.
