Outriders

The benchmark data for Outriders, captured with an Intel Core i5-10400F and an AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, reveals a system that is heavily influenced by graphics settings and resolution scaling. The measured frames per second (FPS) across the 12 tested configurations show a clear narrative: the GPU is the primary driver of performance, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom to avoid becoming a bottleneck in most scenarios. This analysis walks through the dataset to interpret what these numbers mean for the gameplay experience.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 produces a dramatic shift in performance, but the magnitude of that shift is entirely dependent on the quality preset. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 153.6 at 1080p to 86.6 at 4K, a reduction of 67 frames per second. This indicates that even at the lowest graphical load, the resolution increase places a substantial burden on the rendering pipeline. However, the fact that the 4K Low result still exceeds 60 FPS suggests the GPU has enough raw throughput to handle the pixel count when effects are minimized.

The scaling becomes more severe as settings increase. Moving from High at 1080p (124.4 FPS) to High at 4K (47 FPS) represents a 62% performance loss. The Ultra preset suffers the most, falling from 104.1 FPS at 1080p to just 35.9 FPS at 4K, a drop of over 65%. This pattern points to the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT as the limiting component; the fill rate and shading requirements at 4K simply overwhelm the GPU when detail levels are maxed out. At 1440p, the results are more balanced, with High settings delivering 89.8 FPS, which is a playable range for a fast-paced looter shooter. The data clearly shows that 1080p and 1440p are the intended operating zones for this combo, while 4K is only viable with Low or Medium presets.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. Its architecture, Comet Lake, is built on a 14 nm process, and it features 12 MB of shared L3 cache. In the context of Outriders, these specifications appear sufficient. The processor’s benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10297 and a single-core score of 1453, indicate a balanced capability that handles both threading and single-threaded tasks.

The relative performance of the CPU is further contextualized by its nearest rivals. The i5-10400F posts an average benchmark score of 14168, sitting just 0.4% above the AMD EPYC 7552 and 0.8% below the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C. It also trails the Intel Core i5-8500 by 1.1% and the AMD Ryzen Embedded V2546 by 1.2%. These tight margins, all within roughly one percent, suggest that the i5-10400F is positioned in a crowded mid-range segment where no single processor holds a decisive advantage. For Outriders, the 12 threads provide enough parallelism to feed the GPU without creating a visible constraint, as evidenced by the consistent FPS scaling at lower resolutions where CPU load typically becomes more apparent.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT achieves a rank of 1010 out of 1693 total combos for Outriders. This places it in the 59th percentile, meaning it outperforms a majority of the tested systems but sits below the top tier. The ranking reflects a balance between the CPU’s mid-pack standing and the GPU’s stronger position relative to other graphics cards.

The GPU itself ranks in the 79th percentile against all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35327. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 5600M, which is just 0.2% slower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, which is 0.3% faster. The fact that the RX 6750 XT is competitive with these parts, including a desktop RTX 3080 that is only 1.3% ahead in average score, underscores that the graphics card is the stronger half of this pairing. The combo’s overall rank is therefore dragged down by the CPU’s modest position, but the measured FPS numbers show that this does not translate into a poor gaming experience at practical resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset provides exact average FPS for each resolution and settings combination. At 1080p, the results range from a high of 153.6 FPS on Low settings to a low of 104.1 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset delivers 141.6 FPS, while High achieves 124.4 FPS. This spread of nearly 50 FPS between the lowest and highest quality levels highlights how much headroom exists at this resolution. Even the most demanding Ultra preset clears the 100 FPS mark, making 1080p a comfortable environment for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Stepping up to 1440p, the performance remains strong but begins to show the GPU’s limits. Low settings produce 132.1 FPS, which is a minor drop from the 1080p result. Medium follows at 122 FPS, and High at 89.8 FPS. The Ultra preset, however, takes a significant hit, falling to 63.4 FPS. This 58.7 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is more pronounced than the 49.5 FPS gap at 1080p, indicating that the card’s compute resources are being taxed more heavily as pixel count increases.

At 4K, the performance envelope shrinks considerably. Low settings yield 86.6 FPS, which is still playable, but Medium drops to exactly 60 FPS. High settings fall to 47 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 35.9 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 50.7 FPS, but the absolute values are much lower, meaning that only Low and perhaps Medium provide a smooth experience. The data shows a linear progression of degradation with each settings tier, but the steepest relative losses occur at 4K, reinforcing the GPU-bound nature of the system.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture using a 7 nm process from TSMC. It features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2150 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, with a game clock rated at 2495 MHz. These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s, which are the key metrics for filling the screen with detail.

The GPU’s FP32 performance of 13.31 TFLOPS is the raw compute figure that drives shading and effects. In Outriders, the data shows that this compute power is the deciding factor. When resolution rises to 4K, the 12 GB memory buffer is sufficient, but the 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs are forced to work harder, resulting in the lower FPS figures. The GPU’s benchmark scores, such as a Passmark G3D score of 20700, place it in the 79th percentile, and its nearest rival, the RX 5600M, is virtually identical in performance. This suggests that the RX 6750 XT is a well-balanced mid-to-high-end card that excels at 1080p and 1440p but struggles to maintain high settings at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal experience depends on the target resolution. For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset at 104.1 FPS is the clear choice, as it delivers the highest visual fidelity while still maintaining a frame rate well above the 60 FPS threshold. Players with 144Hz monitors could also opt for High settings at 124.4 FPS, sacrificing some visual quality for a 20 FPS gain. The Low preset at 153.6 FPS is unnecessary at this resolution unless chasing maximum refresh rates.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 89.8 FPS offers the best balance between image quality and smoothness. The Ultra preset at 63.4 FPS is still playable, but the 26.4 FPS drop from High to Ultra is a steep price for marginal visual improvements. Medium settings at 122 FPS are an option for competitive play, but they sacrifice too much detail for the majority of users. For 3840x2160, the Medium preset at exactly 60 FPS is the highest playable option, while Low at 86.6 FPS provides a smoother experience. The High and Ultra presets at 47 and 35.9 FPS respectively are not recommended for a responsive gameplay experience. The data indicates that this combo is best utilized at 1080p Ultra or 1440p High, where it delivers a strong balance of visuals and performance without pushing the GPU past its limits.
