Doom

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is a mainstream desktop combination. In Doom, this combo achieves a rank of 1157 out of 1681 tested combinations, placing it in the lower half of the database. The CPU holds an 82nd percentile standing among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 71st percentile. Benchmark results indicate a system that delivers high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra preset drops to 39.8 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1157 out of 1681 places it below the median of tested configurations. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 25236 puts it in the 82nd percentile, with nearest rivals including the Intel Core i7-13620H (25201, 0.1% lower), AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25365, 0.5% higher), AMD EPYC 9474F (25103, 0.5% lower), and AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (25099, 0.5% lower). This tight clustering shows the i5-13400F is competitive with a range of mid-range and high-end chips. The GPU’s average score of 27985 places it in the 71st percentile. It is 0.1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (27956), 0.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon R9 M395X (27883), 0.9% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (28238), and 1.5% behind the AMD FirePro S7150 (28409). The GPU’s standing is solidly mid-pack, which likely contributes to the combo’s overall rank. The CPU’s high percentile suggests it is not the limiting factor in this pairing; the GPU’s lower percentile is more consistent with the combo’s below-median rank.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a 7nm process. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s base clock is 1968 MHz, with a game clock of 2359 MHz and a boost clock of 2589 MHz. Memory runs at 2000 MHz, or 16 Gbps effective. The card has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, along with 32 ray-tracing cores. Its FP32 performance is 10.60 TFLOPS, and FP16 reaches 21.21 TFLOPS (2:1). The pixel rate is 165.7 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 331.4 GTexel/s. The GPU is built on a 237 mm² die with 11,060 million transistors, giving a transistor density of 46.7M / mm². It uses a dual-slot design, a single 8-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 450 W. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8, and display outputs include 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. The launch MSRP is 379 USD.

In Doom, the GPU’s performance scales predictably with resolution and settings. At 1080p, the average frame rate ranges from 192.7 on Low to 118 on Ultra. At 1440p, it ranges from 121.5 on Low to 77.4 on Ultra. At 4K, the range is 68.6 on Low down to 39.8 on Ultra. The 8 GB frame buffer and 256 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K Ultra the frame rate drops below 40, indicating the GPU’s compute and memory resources are stretched. The boost clock of 2589 MHz helps maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions, where the GPU is the primary driver.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor from the Raptor Lake architecture, built on a 10nm process. It has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The L3 cache is 20 MB shared, and the CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory. Its TDP is 65 W, and it uses the Intel Socket 1700. The CPU has a 215 mm² die size and supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The launch MSRP is $196.

Benchmark results show strong performance: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 21279, single-core 3004; Geekbench multi-core 10971, single-core 2301; Passmark multithread 25032, single-thread 3634. The CPU holds an 82nd percentile among all CPUs. In Doom, the CPU’s high single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single 3004) ensures that at 1080p Low, where the GPU is not the bottleneck, the combo reaches 192.7 FPS. The 10 cores and 16 threads provide ample headroom for background tasks, but Doom’s performance at higher resolutions is increasingly GPU-bound. The boost clock of 4.60 GHz helps maintain responsiveness in fast-paced scenes.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists the measured average FPS for each resolution and settings combination.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

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

| 3840x2160 | High | 52.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 68.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 57.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 39.8 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 90.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 121.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 110.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 77.4 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 141.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 192.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 170 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 118 |

At 1080p, the combo delivers smooth frame rates across all settings, with Low hitting 192.7 FPS and Ultra still at 118 FPS. At 1440p, the range narrows: Low produces 121.5 FPS, while Ultra drops to 77.4 FPS. At 4K, only Low and Medium exceed 50 FPS (68.6 and 57.5), with High at 52.2 and Ultra at 39.8. The data shows a consistent scaling pattern: as resolution increases, the gap between Low and Ultra settings shrinks, reflecting the GPU’s growing role as the bottleneck. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest of all measured configurations, indicating that this combo is not suited for maximum settings at 4K.
