Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT reveals a predictable but steep performance curve as resolution climbs. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 211.9 FPS, which drops to 139.4 FPS at 1440p and further to 73.5 FPS at 4K. This represents a 34% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 65% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant limiting factor at higher resolutions, particularly at 4K where the pixel count quadruples the workload.

The Ultra preset tells a more dramatic story. At 1080p, the system manages 103 FPS, but this falls to 66.3 FPS at 1440p and collapses to 37.5 FPS at 4K. The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens substantially at higher resolutions, suggesting that the RX 6750 XT's memory bandwidth and compute resources are stretched thin when both resolution and graphical fidelity increase simultaneously. The 4K Ultra result of 37.5 FPS is the only measured value below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that this combination is not suitable for maximum-fidelity 4K gaming.

The resolution scaling behavior strongly suggests a GPU-bound scenario at 4K. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, running at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.20 GHz, are sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but the GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth become the bottleneck when pushing 3840x2160 pixels. The data shows that 1440p represents the sweet spot for this pairing, where the GPU can still deliver high frame rates without being overwhelmed by pixel throughput demands.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the primary driver of frame rates in this configuration, and its specifications align with the observed performance patterns. The GPU features 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, with a base clock of 2150 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. The game clock is rated at 2495 MHz, which reflects sustained performance during typical gaming workloads. The 12 GB GDDR6 memory operates at 2250 MHz with an effective data rate of 18 Gbps, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth across a 192-bit bus.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 79th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35327. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 5600M (deltaPct 0.2), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (deltaPct -0.3), AMD Radeon 880M (deltaPct -0.9), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (deltaPct -1.3). These competitive delta values indicate that the RX 6750 XT sits in a tightly contested performance tier, where small architectural differences translate into measurable FPS variations.

The GPU's memory configuration is particularly relevant to the 4K results. The 12 GB capacity is not exhausted at any measured setting, but the 432.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes a limiting factor when the render target expands to 3840x2160. The transition from 1080p High (137.2 FPS) to 4K High (51.2 FPS) represents a 63% performance drop, which aligns with the increased memory traffic demands at higher resolutions. The GPU's FP32 compute of 13.31 TFLOPS and texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s provide ample raw power for this game, but the bandwidth ceiling constrains performance at extreme resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 211.9 FPS on Low, 162.7 FPS on Medium, 137.2 FPS on High, and 103 FPS on Ultra. The 1080p results show a clear hierarchy where each settings tier reduces performance by roughly 15-20%, with the largest single drop occurring between Low and Medium (49.2 FPS difference).

Moving to 2560x1440, the measured values are 139.4 FPS on Low, 105.3 FPS on Medium, 88.8 FPS on High, and 66.3 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p results demonstrate a similar relative scaling to 1080p, but with a compressed absolute range. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 73.1 FPS, compared to 108.9 FPS at 1080p, indicating that resolution pressure reduces the impact of settings adjustments.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops significantly: 73.5 FPS on Low, 58.8 FPS on Medium, 51.2 FPS on High, and 37.5 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results show that only the Low preset achieves frame rates above 60 FPS, while Ultra falls below 40 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 14.7 FPS, which is proportionally similar to the gaps at other resolutions.

The data reveals that the transition from 1080p to 1440p costs approximately 34-36% of performance across all settings, while the transition from 1440p to 4K costs approximately 47-48% of performance. This non-linear scaling reflects the geometric increase in pixel count, with 4K requiring four times the pixels of 1080p.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G provides the processing foundation for this configuration, featuring 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 2 architecture with the Renoir codename. The CPU operates at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts to 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. It supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, and integrates Radeon Vega 7 graphics, although the discrete RX 6750 XT handles all rendering in this analysis.

The CPU's benchmark results place it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17489. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (deltaPct 0), Intel Core i5-12450H (deltaPct 0.1), Intel Core i3-14100T (deltaPct -0.8), and Intel Core i3-13100F (deltaPct -1). The single-thread score of 726 in 3DMark and 1919 in Cinebench R23 indicate moderate per-core performance, while the multi-thread score of 13593 in Cinebench R23 demonstrates solid parallel processing capability.

In this game, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, but it becomes more relevant at 1080p. The 211.9 FPS at 1080p Low suggests that the CPU can drive frame rates well beyond typical display refresh rates, but the smaller gap between 1080p and 1440p results at Low settings (72.5 FPS difference) compared to Ultra settings (36.7 FPS difference) indicates that the GPU workload scaling dominates. The CPU's 8 MB shared L3 cache and 512 KB L2 cache per core provide adequate data locality for this game's engine, which was released in 2014 and does not demand the thread counts required by modern titles.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data points to High settings at 1440p as the recommended configuration for this combo, delivering 88.8 FPS with the visual quality that most players expect from a modern gaming experience. This setting provides a 22.5 FPS improvement over Ultra at the same resolution, while the visual difference between High and Ultra in this 2014 title is typically less pronounced than the performance gap suggests.

For players prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity, 1080p Low at 211.9 FPS is the clear choice. This configuration delivers more than double the refresh rate of standard 60 Hz displays and approaches the input latency benefits of high-refresh-rate gaming. The 1080p Medium setting at 162.7 FPS offers a balanced alternative for those who want better visuals without sacrificing competitive frame rates.

At 4K, the recommendation depends on the target frame rate. The 4K Low setting at 73.5 FPS provides the only 4K option above 60 FPS, making it suitable for 60 Hz displays. The 4K Medium setting at 58.8 FPS is marginally below 60 FPS and may be acceptable for players who prioritize resolution over smoothness, but the 4K High (51.2 FPS) and 4K Ultra (37.5 FPS) settings are not recommended for playable experiences.

The data suggests that 1440p High offers the best overall experience, balancing visual quality, frame rate, and resolution. The 88.8 FPS result exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable margin, providing headroom for demanding scenes. The 1440p Medium setting at 105.3 FPS is the alternative for players who want additional performance headroom, while 1440p Ultra at 66.3 FPS is viable for those who prioritize maximum settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G plus AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination ranks 845th out of 1733 tested combos in this game, placing it in the 49th percentile of all configurations. This middle-of-the-pack ranking reflects the balanced nature of the pairing, where neither component is a top-tier performer but both work harmoniously together.

The CPU's 75th percentile ranking and the GPU's 79th percentile ranking suggest that both components are slightly above average individually, yet the combined ranking is lower than either component's percentile. This discrepancy indicates that the game's performance scaling is not perfectly correlated with raw benchmark scores, and that other factors such as driver optimization, memory bandwidth, and CPU-GPU communication overhead affect real-world results.

The combo's position in the middle of the ranking table is consistent with its measured FPS results, which show strong 1080p performance but diminishing returns at higher resolutions. The 1080p Low result of 211.9 FPS places this combo well above the average tested configuration, while the 4K Ultra result of 37.5 FPS is below what top-tier combos achieve. This creates a performance profile that is competitive at mainstream resolutions but not exceptional at extreme settings.

The ranking data also reveals that this combo outperforms many configurations with more expensive components, thanks to the RX 6750 XT's strong rasterization performance in this game. The GPU's 79th percentile ranking and its competitive positioning against the RTX 3080 (deltaPct -1.3) indicate that it punches above its weight class in this title. The CPU's 75th percentile ranking similarly shows that the Ryzen 5 4600G provides sufficient processing power to avoid bottlenecking the GPU in most scenarios.
