Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT pairing delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Minimum, but the data shows a sharp performance cliff at 4K Ultra. The measured FPS across all resolutions and presets paints a clear picture: this combo is best suited for high-refresh 1440p gaming, with 4K reserved for lower presets. The RX 6750 XT’s 12 GB VRAM and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game’s demands, but the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings, indicating the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 215.7 at 1920x1080 to 139.7 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 76 FPS, and then further down to 76.3 at 3840x2160. This represents a 64.6% performance loss from 1080p to 4K at Low. The pattern holds for Medium: 164 FPS at 1080p drops to 107 at 1440p and 56.7 at 4K. At High, the numbers are 136.4, 90.8, and 47.1 respectively. The most extreme scaling occurs at Ultra, where 1080p delivers 108 FPS, but 4K collapses to just 38 FPS — a 64.8% reduction.

The scaling pattern reveals that the RX 6750 XT is the bottleneck. At 1080p, the CPU can keep up with the GPU’s output, but as pixel count rises, the GPU’s raw throughput (13.31 TFLOPS FP32) becomes the constraint. The gap between 1440p and 4K is larger than the gap between 1080p and 1440p, suggesting the GPU’s memory bandwidth (432.0 GB/s) and pixel rate (166.4 GPixel/s) are stretched thin at 4K. For a 4K monitor, the data suggests sticking to Low or Medium presets, as Ultra and High will dip below the 60 FPS threshold.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a 7 nm process and 17,200 million transistors. Its base clock is 2150 MHz, with a game clock of 2495 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. The 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Minimum at 1440p but shows strain at 4K Ultra. The GPU’s 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s.

In benchmark results, the GPU’s PassMark G3D score is 20700, placing it in the 79th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (avgScore 35787, deltaPct -1.3) and the AMD Radeon RX 5600M (avgScore 35264, deltaPct 0.2). The RX 6750 XT trails the RTX 3080 by 1.3%, a negligible margin in real-world gaming. The data indicates the GPU is well-matched to the CPU for this title, with neither component consistently holding the other back until 4K Ultra.

The 12 GB VRAM capacity is not a limiting factor in Minimum, as even at 4K Ultra the game does not appear to exceed this allocation. However, the GPU’s compute power (13.31 TFLOPS FP32) is what determines the 4K performance ceiling. The measured 38 FPS at 4K Ultra is a direct result of the GPU’s pixel and texture throughput limits, not a memory capacity issue.

Settings Recommendations

For a 1440p monitor, the Medium preset at 107 FPS is the sweet spot, offering a 17.8% improvement over High (90.8 FPS) while still looking crisp. If you prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, Low at 139.7 FPS is excellent for competitive play. At 1080p, Medium (164 FPS) and High (136.4 FPS) both provide smooth gameplay, but Ultra (108 FPS) is still above 100 FPS and offers the best visuals without sacrificing much performance.

At 4K, the choice is more constrained. Low (76.3 FPS) is the only preset that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS, while Medium (56.7 FPS) is playable but not ideal for fast-paced action. High (47.1 FPS) and Ultra (38 FPS) are best avoided unless you can tolerate sub-60 FPS gameplay. For the best overall experience, the data points to 1440p Medium as the optimal balance of visual quality and performance, delivering over 100 FPS consistently.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RX 6750 XT produces strong numbers across all presets. Low averages 215.7 FPS, Medium 164 FPS, High 136.4 FPS, and Ultra 108 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 49.9% reduction, but even Ultra remains above 100 FPS, making this resolution ideal for high-refresh monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 139.7 FPS (Low), 107 FPS (Medium), 90.8 FPS (High), and 66.4 FPS (Ultra). The drop from 1080p is significant — about 35-40% across presets — but Medium and High still deliver smooth gameplay. Ultra at 66.4 FPS is borderline, but playable on a 60 Hz display.

At 3840x2160, the performance falls off sharply. Low averages 76.3 FPS, Medium 56.7 FPS, High 47.1 FPS, and Ultra 38 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 50.2%, and only Low clears the 60 FPS threshold. This resolution is only recommended for slower-paced gameplay or with reduced settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer). Its base clock is 3.70 GHz, boosting to 4.60 GHz, with a 32 MB L3 cache. In the 3DMark 16-thread test, it scores 5582, and in single-thread it scores 917. The PassMark multithread score is 21858, with a single-thread score of 3364. These numbers indicate strong per-core performance, which is crucial for a game like Minimum that relies on consistent frame pacing.

The CPU’s percentile ranking is 78th among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20680. Its nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT (avgScore 20740, deltaPct -0.3), showing the 5600X is essentially tied with its closest competitor. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and 7 nm process (4,150 million transistors) make it an efficient choice that does not generate excessive heat, allowing the GPU to operate without thermal throttling.

In the measured FPS data, the CPU does not appear to be a limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the 215.7 FPS average suggests the CPU can feed the GPU adequately, and even at 1080p Ultra (108 FPS), there is no sign of a CPU bottleneck. The 5600X’s 12 threads handle the game’s physics and AI logic without issue, and the 32 MB L3 cache helps reduce memory latency. For this title, the CPU provides a stable foundation, allowing the RX 6750 XT to be the primary performance driver at higher resolutions.
